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

Xu Su was thinking of something to say to appease this man who was so easily jealous when Zhou Mochen spoke first.

He smirked, his eyes dark and menacing, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, let's put aside the dream excuse for now and take it one step at a time. Let's continue talking about your ex-boyfriend. Did he appear in your dreams?"

Xu Su quickly shook her head, "No, no, you have no idea how terrifying you are in your dreams, there would be no one else there."

“It sounds like my approach was wrong.” Zhou Mochen said thoughtfully, slowly looking at the girl in front of him who had been spoiled to the point of being somewhat willful. “I shouldn’t have given you too much freedom. Look, I’ve only loosened my grip a little, and you’ve already found a mat to annoy me.”

"!!!" Xu Su was so frightened that she sat up straight and solemnly warned, "Don't get the wrong idea! You have no idea how much I hated you in my dream, Zhou Mochen. If you still want a kind look from me, give up the idea of ​​using your power to control me!"

Fearing that this person might have some terrible thoughts, Xu Su quickly added, "I told you before, no girl likes to be forced. You were miserable in your dream, so don't imitate that."

Zhou Mochen asked curiously, "How badly?"

Xu Su paused, "You're a bit crazy... You might not understand what I mean, but... you're gloomy, obsessive, and a bit morbid."

Now that she thinks about it, she realized that she hadn't seen Zhou Mochen smile in a long time in her past life.

The man who was invincible on the outside became more and more silent and sinister with each passing day.

Apart from the occasional smile he had during the first two years of their relationship, Xu Su couldn't quite recall when Zhou Mochen had last smiled.

It was probably at... their wedding?

Xu Su felt a tightness in her chest, reached out and wrapped her arms around Zhou Mochen's neck, burying her face in the crook of his neck. "Don't ask anymore, okay? I don't want to think about those things anymore, Zhou Mochen. Don't hold a grudge against a dream, and I won't let you become like the one in the dream."

"It seems it really was a very real dream." Zhou Mochen patted the back of the girl's head, his eyes dark and unreadable, as if he was thinking about something.

So much happened this afternoon. I was interrogated unilaterally for so long. The sun had already set outside the window, and the red glow of the evening sky illuminated half of the room.

Listening to Zhou Mochen's words, Xu Su felt a strange unease. She began to review their conversation from the afternoon. She hoped she hadn't revealed anything she shouldn't have.

As long as she doesn't say anything beyond what she has experienced in her life so far, so what if Zhou Mochen is extremely smart?

Could he possibly deduce that she had been reborn based on just one dream?

Xu Su was feeling uneasy, but Zhou Mochen suddenly let go of her, held her waist and put her aside. He stood up and said, "You don't need to go to school for the next few days. Come back to Beijing with me in a few days, and I'll arrange a school for you."

The tone was direct, without even a question.

Xu Su's eyes widened. "No way! I'm not transferring schools! Zhou Mochen, I have less than a year until the college entrance exam, why would I transfer schools?"

She immediately added, "Also, the current policy requires students to take the college entrance examination in their place of household registration."

Zhou Mochen smiled and stood by the bed, looking down at her. "I've arranged everything for you. If you want to transfer your household registration, I'll do it for you in Beijing. If you don't want to, I can still arrange for you to take the college entrance exam in Beijing. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

In Xu Su's eyes, transferring schools was a huge deal, but Zhou Mochen's nonchalant attitude made her furious.

She stood up from the bed, towering over Zhou Mochen, and looked back at him with a haughty air, mimicking his tone. She was furious. "You'll arrange it for me? What do I need you to arrange? I've been studying here for over two years, and there's less than a year left. You think you can just arrange a transfer for me like this?"

Xu Su glared at Zhou Mochen with red eyes, "I don't agree! You can do whatever you want, I know you have the means. My parents don't need my consent to sell me to you, so why don't you just tie me up and put me on a plane!"

"Sell it to me?...You're that angry?" Zhou Mochen's smile faded slightly as he quietly watched her bristling. After a long while, he spoke with a hint of mystery, "Xu Su, are you reluctant to leave the school you've attended for two years, or are you reluctant to leave the person at the school?"

When Xi Zirong was mentioned, Xu Su's imposing manner vanished, and she seemed somewhat guilty.

Regardless of their previous relationship, the fact remains that she lied to him for a year...

She was both unreasonable and defiant, "You need to get the timeline straight! I already told Xi Zirong I wanted to break up. I broke up with Xi Zirong without your knowledge. If I still couldn't bear to part with him, why would I break up with him?"

Xu Su made a "scumbag woman" statement: "Anyway, you don't know he exists, so I can totally not break up with him, right? Zhou Mochen, think about it, isn't that the truth? I broke up with Xi Zirong for you, so what are you worried about?"

These words made Zhou Mochen laugh in anger, "You broke up with Xu Su for me... Should I thank you for giving me face and choosing to end things with him before I found out?"

He grabbed Xu Su's wrist and pulled her down, their eyes meeting. He slowly asked, "Then tell me, what made you upset when you saw him kissing another girl?"

Zhou Mochen spoke calmly, grasping Xu Su's chin and kissing her eyes, "You still care about that Xi Zirong, don't you?"

".....wrong."

Xu Su remained silent for two seconds, and before Zhou Mochen's eyes could turn dangerous, she quickly denied it.

She argued, "I'm not upset, I just can't accept it right now, you know? Let me explain. Xi Zirong was with me, after all. And then he's so intimate with other girls in front of me, isn't it normal for me to feel a little uncomfortable?"

Fearing she wasn't being forceful enough, Xu Su quickly added, "I really don't care. Like I said, if I cared that he would be with other girls, then I wouldn't have broken up with him, right?"

Even Xu Su herself didn't believe it when she said that.

She clearly cares a lot...

It's just that I no longer have the right to care.

Zhou Mochen seemed to believe him, and he nodded slowly, "In that case, what happens to him in the future has nothing to do with you, right?"

“…!” Xu Su was startled, realizing the deeper meaning in his words, “Don’t touch him, Xi Zirong didn’t do anything wrong, please let him go.”

"How can you say he didn't do anything wrong?" He kissed Xu Su's lips, his voice calm. "He was your boyfriend for a year. He kissed you, he hugged you, Xu Su, didn't he do anything wrong?"

"That's not his fault!" Xu Su was somewhat devastated. Was this chapter of the story insurmountable?

"I can't stop you from doing what you want to him, but Zhou Mochen, think carefully. If something really happens to him because of me, can I ever forget him for the rest of my life?"
