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

Or just tell him directly, tell Zhou Mochen that she was with Xi Zirong.

During those days when she was incredibly annoyed by him, she had a relationship with another man behind his back.

Actually, Xu Su never thought she could keep this a secret from him forever. After all, given how much Zhou Mochen cared about her, he would find out something was wrong sooner or later within a year. Before, Xu Su would only go out to see him once every few months, and they would argue over just a few words. She also wouldn't allow him to appear at school.

But now that they're a couple, they'll inevitably see each other often. And judging from his insecure demeanor, he might still be at school in the future, and he'll always overhear his classmates' conversations about it.

Xu Su placed her hand on his waist and looked up at the man in front of her. She was so close that she could smell the scent of pine mixed with a faint smell of baijiu on his body, which domineeringly filled her nostrils.

It had an indescribable taste. Xu Su didn't actually dislike it, but she still frowned and asked, "Why did you drink that glass of wine?"

Zhou Mochen thought she disliked him, so he took a half step back before speaking with a wronged tone, "You're still studying here, so you should at least give me some face. If you don't like it, I won't drink it next time."

"..." Xu Su was a little touched, but she still stubbornly said, "Who would like a man who reeks of alcohol, especially baijiu?"

Xu Su couldn't bear to look at the aggrieved look in the eyes of that grown man. She turned her head away and walked around to the back of the tree.

She was considering whether she should be honest about her relationship with Xi Zirong. After all, she was with him now, so he shouldn't hold a grudge about what happened before... right?

As I was thinking about what to say, I looked up and saw the other protagonist of the story under a tree not far away.

Zhou Mochen followed her out from behind the tree and saw Xu Su standing there staring blankly in one direction. He couldn't help but follow her gaze.

He glanced at them and suddenly chuckled, "Which young couple from your school are on a date? Su Su, you won't even let me hold your hand, but your school's students are kissing."

Not far away, a pair of students wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School stood under a tree. The boy had his back to them, his shoulders were straight, and the girl held the boy's arm with her hand, standing on tiptoe. From Xu Su's angle, it looked like she was taking the initiative to kiss the boy.

The scene is truly beautiful. Young men and women in the prime of their youth are under a tree, and the girl is mustering up the courage to kiss the boy she likes. Who wouldn't say it's beautiful?

Not too far away, Xu Su could see clearly that the girl's half-exposed face... was Gu Yunjia.

So who is this boy with his back to her?

That figure was so familiar, so familiar that she recognized it almost instantly.

Xu Su felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe. She reached out and pulled Zhou Mochen away. "Let's go. I don't want to stay here."

Under that tree, Xi Zirong and she had kissed countless times. Now, in the same place, he is kissing another girl. Isn't this what they call "things have changed"?

Xu Su was not unaware that Gu Yunjia was pursuing Xi Zirong. She had even witnessed the girl's fervor firsthand and heard many classmates say that it was easy for a girl to pursue a boy, and that Xi Zirong would eventually be won over by Gu Yunjia.

Even Huang Feng once said that men who have suffered heartbreak are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

She always seemed very relaxed. She was the one who initiated the breakup, so it was Xi Zirong's freedom to be with whomever he wanted after the breakup. Xu Su always felt that even if he really got together with someone else, she would be able to calmly wish him well.

But when it all actually happened, she truly realized that this was what breaking up meant, and that the boy who had always loved her would kiss other girls.

Xu Su quickly turned around, not wanting to look at it again.

Her wrist tightened, and she was pulled into someone's arms. Zhou Mochen was such a perceptive person; he noticed Xu Su's unusual behavior at a glance.

He reached out and lifted the girl's chin, his face expressionless. "Xu Su, why are you crying?"

Did you cry?

Xu Su slowly reached out and touched her face. "You didn't cry."

There were no tears on her face.

"Your expression tells me you're crying." Zhou Mochen stroked her eyelids, his voice completely flat. "They're all red here, Xu Su. Why are you crying when you see other people kissing?"

He didn't control his voice, attracting the attention of two people not far away.

The boy, who had his back to them, finally turned around. After seeing the situation, he paused for a moment, as if he had seen them clearly, and then quickly walked towards them.

Xu Su's eyes were filled with panic. She looked at Xi Zirong who was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly broke free from Zhou Mochen's embrace. She reached out and grabbed his arm. "Let's go first, Zhou Mochen."

The girl's tone was urgent with a hint of pleading.

She was nervous and scared.

Zhou Mochen felt a heaviness in his chest, as if a huge rock had been thrown down on him. He had never seen Xu Su so panicked before.

The boy walking this way scared her.

What is she afraid of?

Why did she react as if she was about to cry when she saw this boy kissing someone else?

Zhou Mochen exuded a chill. He grabbed Xu Su's hand that was pulling him and stood motionless in place. He slowly said, "You're so flustered. I'll misunderstand. Xu Su, tell me, why are you so scared right now?"

Xu Su remained silent and tried to pull him away, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Zhou Mochen, who was determined not to leave.

She pulled and pulled, but when she realized she couldn't budge it, she gave up and hung her head in dejection.

Oh well... I never intended to keep it a secret forever anyway.

Since things have come to this, let it be. The worst that could happen is what we see now.

Xu Su smiled wryly. Sure enough, plans can never keep up with changes.

She didn't speak, and Zhou Mochen wasn't annoyed. He curled the corners of his lips and looked at the boy who was about to approach, "If you don't want to talk, then let me hear what he has to say."

Xu Su also turned to look at Xi Zirong.

He was dressed in a black and white school uniform. He was very tall with long legs, and his fair and handsome features appeared even more striking under the sun. He looked youthful and almost radiant.

Even disregarding his top-ranking grades, Xi Zirong is truly an outstanding young man when it comes to his appearance alone.

Xu Su shifted his gaze to Gu Yunjia, who had followed behind him. The girl's face was still flushed, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at Xi Zirong's back.

Xu Su felt conflicted. She knew she had no right to be upset, but people's hearts were truly beyond her control.

She had to admit that seeing Xi Zirong being intimate with someone else made her very uncomfortable.

Xi Zirong stood two meters away and didn't move. He looked at Zhou Mochen and Xu Su's clasped hands, his eyes expressionless.

In fact, he himself didn't know why he came over.

Xu Su forced a smile and greeted him, "Hi..."

It's both laughable and ridiculous...
