Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Xu Su sat on the sofa, eating a peeled and boned grape, her voice a little muffled, "I've already talked to Teacher Wu, I'll go back to class tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Huang Feng paused for a moment before hesitantly speaking, "Su Su, did you and Xi Shen have a fight? Jia Jia said he seems like a completely different person these past few days."

She spoke very seriously, unlike her usual carefree self, "Although I'm not in your class, I've seen him in the hallway a few times and I could tell something was wrong. He seemed like he'd lost his soul."

Although Xi Zirong has a cool and aloof personality, she will always nod and greet Xu Su's good friends when she meets them. She also acts like a class monitor towards her classmates.

At least when he encountered a difficult problem he didn't understand, he would write out the solution steps for his classmates.

It's unclear how much he's changed, but even Huang Feng, who's not in the same class, noticed something was off about him...

Xu Su didn't have time to think about these details at the moment; all she could do was be thankful that she hadn't turned on speakerphone!

Zhou Mochen was sitting right next to her!

Seeing that it was Huang Feng calling, Xu Su didn't hesitate to answer the call right in front of Zhou Mochen, who was standing next to her.

She never expected Huang Feng to mention Xi Zirong on the phone...

For a moment, Xu Su's heart was in her throat. She managed to calm herself down before daring to turn and look at the man beside her.

Noticing her gaze, Zhou Mochen continued peeling grapes, glancing up at her, thinking she was waiting to be fed.

Zhou Mochen raised his hand towards the fruit plate, smiling warmly, "Su Su, be good, use the fork yourself."

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Su was speechless, but also secretly relieved...

I couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

Before she could even catch her breath, Huang Feng exploded.

"Holy crap! Su Su, who's talking over there?! I heard a man calling you Su Su..."

Huang Feng's voice was very loud this time, and Zhou Mochen clearly heard it.

He stopped what he was doing, turned his gaze to Xu Su's phone, and looked on with anticipation.

They seemed to be wondering how Xu Su planned to explain her identity to her friends.

"..." What could Xu Su explain? She gave a dry laugh and stiffly addressed Huang Feng, "You misheard, you weren't calling me..."

Zhou Mochen's eyes darkened instantly. Xu Su, fearing something else might go wrong, quickly shouted into the phone, "I'll talk to you later, see you at school tomorrow."

Xu Su quickly hung up the phone and was considering how to defend herself when she heard a cold laugh from the side.

"Is it so hard to admit to your classmate that you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Mochen took out a tissue and slowly wiped the grape juice off his fingers. "Su Su, what are you worried about that you've been hiding me from me?"

He seemed very understanding; seeing that she hesitated for a long time without being able to give a reason, he took the initiative to come up with one for her: "Are you afraid your teacher will talk to you?"

“Yes!” Xu Su’s eyes lit up and she nodded quickly. “You know I’m a senior in high school, so I shouldn’t be dating at this time. Zhou Mochen, be more sensible. Don’t try to make me look like I’m dating too early. I’m a student, and I have to consider my teachers’ opinions.”

That made a lot of sense, and Zhou Mochen's expression softened considerably.

He is indeed easy to coax. Compared to Xu Su's previous indifference and avoidance of him like the plague, it is a huge improvement that she has now personally confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship.

The frustration of not being publicly acknowledged gradually dissipated...

But ultimately, there was still some dissatisfaction...

He reached out and grasped Xu Su's slender, fair fingers, whispering a promise, "After your college entrance exam, can you reveal my identity?... Sometimes I really wonder just how shameful I am."

A man accustomed to being domineering is so humbly asking his girlfriend to reveal her identity...

For once, Xu Su felt a pang of guilt.

She nodded without much hesitation, "Okay, I promise you, after the college entrance exam, we won't hide our relationship from others."

Xu Su took a deep breath, squeezed his hand back, and made a three-point agreement, "Zhou Mochen, you also have to promise me that in this last year, you will let me study hard and not disturb me from studying."

Having lived together for only three days, Xu Su was terrified of this person's clingy nature; he seemed to want to be with her 24/7...

There wasn't a trace of the aloofness of a high-and-mighty flower...

In her past life, her dislike for Zhou Mochen was blatantly obvious, so she had never witnessed him being this clingy.

Presumably, Young Master Zhou also has his pride; he wouldn't be so shameless as to cling to her while constantly mocking her...

His only two romantic relationships were with Xi Zirong, but even when Xu Su and Xi Zirong had just confirmed their relationship, he wasn't this clingy, acting like he didn't care about tomorrow.

In her only two romantic relationships, she simply couldn't accept this way of interacting; it gets boring so easily...

Zhou Mochen had witnessed firsthand how much Xu Su valued her academic performance these past few days, so he wasn't surprised to hear her request.

Anyway, there's only one year left. Let's see what excuse she has to keep for not taking the exam after she finishes it.

Thinking it over, Zhou Mochen readily agreed.

He pulled his girlfriend into his arms and whispered, "Then you must always remember that you have a boyfriend. Stay away from those little boys at school. I can't stand any nonsense."

Thinking of the top student in the grade who had affectionately called her Su Su on the phone, Zhou Mochen's expression darkened. "Especially that Xi Zirong."

"...Understood, you can't interfere with normal social interactions."

Hearing him specifically emphasize Xi Zirong, Xu Su felt a little uncomfortable.

Slightly guilty...

No one knew better than her how jealous this person was; Xu Su felt that the journey of disciplining this crazy bitch was far from over...

To avoid being completely controlled in the future, she nudged Zhou Mochen, "Zhou Mochen, don't be so domineering. I don't really like that about you. We've just started dating, so I can still convince myself to be patient, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it later and will become impatient with you..."

It was rare for her to have such a clear understanding of her own temper. Xu Su became a little embarrassed as she spoke, "You know I don't have much patience, and I can't stand being constantly told what to do... Could you please try to control your bossy nature, otherwise we'll have a lot to argue about in the future..."

Although what she said wasn't very pleasant to hear, she was genuinely planning for their future.

Xi Zirong was such a gentle person at first, and there was a sweet period when they first got together.

But as he became increasingly involved, Xu Su inevitably began to feel annoyed...
