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

The cafeteria auntie was very fast, but after queuing for so long, by the time Xu Su brought her hot and sour noodles, which she had insisted on being extra spicy and vinegary, to her seat, the first-floor cafeteria was already packed. If Qian Jia hadn't reserved a seat in advance, there wouldn't have been any available.

The hot and sour noodles in front of Xu Su had a thick layer of red oil and several spoonfuls of Zhenjiang vinegar, which smelled very appetizing.

Huang Feng glanced at it and quickly looked away. She complained, "Su Su, you look like a fairy, how come you have such a strong palate? I would believe it if you said that this level of spiciness would kill you."

Huang Feng herself can only handle a little bit of spicy food, otherwise she wouldn't dare to order hot and sour noodles. But even though she can handle spicy food, it doesn't stop her from being amazed by Xu Su's ability to eat spicy food every time.

Qian Jia can handle spicier food than Huang Feng, but she was still taken aback by the thick layer of chili oil in Xu Su's bowl. She glanced at Xu Su's shoulder and asked, "Is your injury healed? Eating so much spicy food won't affect you, will it?"

Xu Su waved her hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter, it's already scabbed over."

After eating so little for so many days, Xu Su's mouth was practically watering. It was a rare treat that Xi Zirong couldn't control her, and Zhou Mochen was too far away to help her. She had long forgotten the doctor's advice to pay attention to her diet for the week when the bandages were removed.

The noodles were very hot when they came out of the pot. Xu Su picked up a piece with her chopsticks, blew on it carefully, and then cautiously took a bite.

"hiss.."

The gasp was provided by Huang Feng, who acted as if she had eaten it herself, grimacing as if she were spitting out a mouthful of soda.

"..." Xu Su glanced at her speechlessly, "Don't be like that, this isn't spicy at all, it tastes pretty good, try it."

During the conversation, the noise from the students in the huge cafeteria inexplicably subsided a bit, but Xu Su didn't notice at all.

She urged Huang Feng to try it quickly, then bent down, scooped up a spoonful of the red oil soup, blew on it gently, and drank it in one gulp.

Sour and refreshing!

It's been so long since I've had spicy food, this is so satisfying...

Xu Su squinted her eyes happily.

Not satisfied, she scooped up another spoonful of soup and was about to drink it when her left arm, which was holding the spoon, was suddenly grabbed from behind, rendering her unable to move and preventing her from drinking the soup at all.

"Is this what you meant by eating properly?" A familiar voice rang out from behind, laced with obvious anger. "What kind of food is this?"

Xu Su froze... Was it a hallucination?

How could she have heard Zhou Mochen's voice in the school cafeteria?

Looking up, I saw Huang Feng's mouth agape in surprise.

Huang Feng stared blankly as her brother stood surrounded by so many school leaders, and his boss even reached out to hold her best friend's arm...

The surroundings were completely silent. In the crowded cafeteria, not a single person spoke. The atmosphere was very strange. Xu Su's ostrich-like nature was activated to the fullest. He stood stiffly and had no choice but to slowly turn around.

It really is Zhou Mochen...

His gaze swept over the school leaders behind him; oh... Huang Feng's brother was there too...

Ah... even Teacher Wu is here...

Xu Su was already numb. She put down her spoon and tried to break free from Zhou Mochen's hand, but as expected, he had no intention of letting go.

Xu Su began to argue, "This is a new product in our cafeteria, hot and sour noodles..."

“…Hot and sour noodles.” Zhou Mochen repeated softly, his face grim as he reached out and wiped away a bit of chili oil from her lips.

He looked at the red oil on his thumb, slowly raised his hand, and Xu Su was so startled that she grabbed him and quickly took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, pulled one out and handed it to him.

Gan!

She strongly suspected that if she hadn't stopped him, Zhou Mochen would have licked it clean in front of so many people...

This scoundrel has always wanted a formal title, and he's gone to great lengths to achieve it.

Zhou Mochen glanced down at her, snorted coldly, took the tissue to wipe his hands, and then pulled Xu Su up.

"Your wound hasn't healed yet. Have you forgotten what the doctor said? What did you promise me? You would eat a light diet this week and not worry me."

He pointed to the bowl of spicy and sour noodles that was terrifyingly spicy, "Is this what you meant by not letting me worry?"

Xu Su gave an awkward laugh, "My wound is almost healed..."

Stared intently at by Zhou Mochen, Xu Su lowered her head guiltily before she could finish her sentence...

He cursed inwardly, wondering why he was so unlucky. He finally managed to treat himself to a better meal, and he was caught red-handed.

With her head down, she looked like a child who had made a mistake, utterly innocent.

Zhou Mochen's anger subsided, and he pulled her closer, his tone much gentler, "If you don't want to come home for dinner with me every day, then take a picture and send it to me before you eat from now on."

Before Xu Su could reply, Zhou Mochen turned his head to look behind him and asked, "Do you all mind if I bring one more person?"

The leaders of the No. 1 Middle School who had witnessed the whole thing were still in a state of surprise, and for a moment no one responded.

Vice Principal Zheng reacted quickly, smiling apologetically, "You're joking. Our cafeteria has very large private rooms upstairs, and the food and drinks are ready. You should try our school's specialties."

Vice Principal Zheng, who is in charge of the school's academic performance, had already discerned from the previous incident that this Mr. Zhou, with his extraordinary background, had an unusual attitude towards Xu, a student from his school.

...I just didn't expect that in just a few months, we would have reached the point of 'going home for dinner'.

As he spoke, he casually glanced at the girl whose arm he was holding, and in that brief moment, he suddenly understood.

Sure enough, the young master from the capital with an extraordinary background had a sharp eye. He only glanced at the scholarships when they were being awarded and immediately took a liking to Xu.

For wealthy and powerful people, they have probably seen more beautiful women than they have eaten rice, which makes it even less likely that they will misjudge a truly beautiful woman.

No one knows what Vice Principal Zheng was thinking.

Zhou Mochen nodded slightly, pointed with his chin at the hot and sour noodles that Xu Su had just taken a bite of, and instructed Huang Chao behind him, "Clean this up."

After saying that, he moved the hand that was holding Xu Su's arm to her wrist, and another school leader, whose name Xu Su couldn't recall, led the way, pulling Xu Su towards the private room upstairs.

Feeling the scrutiny of the students in the cafeteria, Xu Su snapped out of her guilt at being caught. She finally realized how much of an impact Zhou Mochen's intimate behavior would have on her among the students.

Xu Su struggled forcefully, her voice low, "Zhou Mochen, let go first!"

Zhou Mochen glanced at her sideways, then obediently let go. He was a little afraid that the girl would throw a tantrum, so he gently explained.

"My original intention in coming to your school was just to see you from afar, but Su Su, what you ate is affecting the healing of your wound. I can't just watch you eat it without stopping you."
