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

Xu Su froze instantly, stammering for a long time, too embarrassed to say anything.

Zhou Mochen's aunt's eyes also held a hint of scrutiny and doubt.

"What utter nonsense are you spouting!"

Zhou Mochen's face darkened, and he immediately gave them the order to leave: "You've seen the person, so you should go back now."

His sudden reprimand startled Li Xin, who was about to say something, leaving her completely flustered. Even Shen Chen, who was entangled on the sofa, looked over.

"I'm not making this up!" Li Xin felt embarrassed and shouted loudly, her face pale, "It's no secret that Xu Su, the school beauty of No. 1 High School, is dating Xi Zirong, the top student in their grade. Brother, have you been lied to by her?"

"Don't call me brother. Don't bring your shallow thoughts to the surface." Zhou Mochen pointed to the door: "Get out while I'm still willing to talk properly."

Being treated so disrespectfully by her junior, Zhou Mochen's aunt didn't dare to show any resentment. She glared at her youngest daughter before forcing a smile, "That's right, it's getting late, so we'll head back now."

As she spoke, she patted Xu Su's hand, scolded her daughter a few times, and said to Xu Su with a kind smile, "Come to our house often in the future."

Xu Su hummed in agreement and said, "Okay."

The eldest aunt praised Xu Su a few more times before reluctantly getting up. She seemed a little afraid of Zhou Mochen, gave a hurried greeting, and then prepared to call her two daughters to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw her eldest daughter and Shen Chen on the sofa, talking quietly to each other.

Her eyes lit up. "When did Young Master Shen arrive in Chang City? Look at me, I didn't even see you just now. Our Yi Yi has such good eyesight. Why didn't you come to our house when you came to Chang City? My old man often talks about you."

That eager, fawning manner was even more intense than when he had been with Xu Su.

"I just got off the plane." Shen Chen glanced at his aunt and nodded respectfully.

Seeing this, Li Yi, who was standing next to the sofa, blushed and tried to take Shen Chen's hand: "Brother Chen, would you like to come to my house for a while and meet my grandfather?"

"..." Xu Su instantly perked up and sat up straight to watch the show.

Unfortunately, this scene ended very quickly.

Shen Chen raised his hand to avoid Li Yi's approach, then quickly frowned. "Ms. Li, I hope you understand one thing: I have no interest in you whatsoever. Please stop bothering me."

Since he was being so direct, Shen Chen was worried that the other person might not understand, so he quickly added, "Don't call me again in the future. You're Brother Zhou's cousin, so I'm giving you one last chance."

The man who had shown her goodwill publicly humiliated her, and Li Yi turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something more, her mother half-coaxed and half-dragged her away.

Zhou Mochen had already called for bodyguards; if he were to be thrown out by them, that would be truly embarrassing.

After everyone left, Xu Su was still a little confused. How could Zhou Mochen's aunt and cousins ​​act like that? It was so petty...

They seem afraid others won't know what they're thinking.

Shen Chen walked over, his previous cold demeanor completely gone. He looked Xu Su up and down a few times, then said with a half-smile, "School beauty? You're that charming? Aren't you from a top school? Instead of studying, you have time for these kinds of things?"

"...You ask me? Who should I ask? But I'm not as charming as you, Young Master Shen. You even managed to hook up with Zhou Mochen's cousin after just a few visits to Chang City."

Xu Su couldn't stand his sarcastic attitude. Thinking of what had just happened, she immediately imitated Li Yi's voice and called out in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Chen~~"

That was incredibly convoluted and full of twists and turns...

After saying that, he couldn't stand it anymore and rubbed his arms vigorously, "Ouch, they're so sore!"

"Speak properly." Zhou Mochen gently ruffled her hair as he lifted it from her head, his tone calm.

"Oh." Xu Su tugged at his sleeve. "You're not angry, are you? Don't believe your cousin. Xi Zirong and I broke up a long time ago. I just don't know why they're so out of touch; they're still spreading rumors..."

What everyone at No. 1 High School knew about was suppressed after the school strictly ordered its dissemination.

Or did Li Xin bring it up on purpose?

Zhou Mochen lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Su for a few seconds, then suddenly bent down and kissed her. "I'm not angry. I've already gotten over the anger I needed to get. Just don't make me angry in the future."

"..." The scene from that night on the rooftop flashed through her mind, and Xu Su grasped his hand guiltily. "I know."

Shen Chen, who was standing next to him, suddenly chuckled softly.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing..." He waved his hand with a smile and sighed, "I just feel that our Brother Zhou has had a tough time. He had to deal with a troublemaker like you. He worked hard to protect you for two years, only to have someone else beat him to it. If it were me, I would be furious."

"You're the troublemaker!" Xu Su glared angrily. "Shen Chen, don't start trouble!"

Just when things seemed to have calmed down, this person brought it up again!

Zhou Mochen didn't react much. He glanced at Shen Chen and asked, "Why are you here again during the New Year?"

"I heard Xu got injured, and it was because of the things I brought that caused this trouble. I felt bad if I didn't come." Shen Chen looked at the injury on Xu Su's face and asked, "You can tolerate this?"

"Shen Chen!" Xu Su shouted, "Why are you always stirring up trouble! Don't you just love watching the drama unfold?"

Zhou Mochen had finally agreed to not use a knife or draw blood, but what if Shen Chen questioned him and stirred up his remaining anger?

“You’re wrong.” Shen Chen looked at her and laughed meaningfully. “I don’t really want to watch the show. It’s actually more fun to do it myself.”

"....!" This guy must be a violent maniac!

Xu Su racked her brains trying to figure out how to give him a good scolding when a game console was shoved into her hand.

Zhou Mochen switched to the Tetris game interface and coaxed her, "I'm going to chat with Achen for a while. You stay in the room by yourself. If you're bored, play some Tetris. Your hand is injured, so be careful not to play any other games that require high skill, understand?"

Does this person treat her like a child? Xu Su nodded helplessly: "I know, but you have to remember what you promised me."

She was genuinely worried that the two of them had gone to discuss how to deal with the Xu family.

Zhou Mochen smiled and walked out with Shen Chen.

Zhou Mochen returned just as Xu Su had reached the nineteenth level of Tetris.

On the game console screen, the falling bricks became faster. Xu Su was so engrossed in the game that she didn't even notice he had returned. It wasn't until she failed the level that she looked up and saw the man beside her.

Xu Su blinked, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where's Shen Chen?"

"He went out on business." Zhou Mochen frowned slightly: "Why are you so concerned about him?"

"No, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Su exclaimed in shock.
