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

Xu Su began to recall that they had stayed at the hospital last night, and he seemed to have received a phone call. His complexion did look a little off when he returned, but she had taken cold medicine and was very sleepy, so she hadn't paid any attention to such things...

However, knowing that she had met with Xi Zirong, he actually managed to refrain from directly questioning her, which was completely unlike him.

If she hadn't been so upset and insisted on starting a fight, he probably could have kept putting up with it...

Thinking of this, Xu Su felt a pang of heartache. Given Zhou Mochen's jealous nature, he knew she had spent most of the day with Xi Zirong and probably had all sorts of random thoughts on what to write, yet he chose to keep it to himself. Why didn't he just ask?

Or did he already have the answer in his heart?

What answer did he have?

Xu Su felt a mix of emotions and had a terrible headache: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, really. I was just afraid you would misunderstand like you are now, so I didn't tell you about Xi Zirong's appearance."

I didn't know how to convince him, so I could only try to be as sincere as possible: "Why don't you believe me? We've been together for so long, can't you really tell whether I like you or not?"

Zhou Mochen remained silent for a long time before reaching out to put his arm around her shoulder: "You're too good at lying, I can't believe you."

I can't believe you...

Xu Su's heart trembled slightly. She buried her face in his chest and said sullenly, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to live like this, constantly distrusting each other?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Mochen's voice was low and frightening as his shoulder tightened: "Xu Su, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. Don't cross my bottom line again. I don't know what I might do."

"..." Xu Su was baffled. "What can I say?...You think I'm going to break up with you?"

Zhou Mochen took silence as consent.

Xu Su laughed in exasperation: "I never thought about breaking up with you, Zhou Mochen. If you don't want to believe me, fine, it's no big deal. As for breaking up? Don't even think about it!"

She never thought about breaking up, and even if they continued to be a miserable couple for the rest of their lives, she never considered breaking up.

"Then why are you arguing with me?" Zhou Mochen smiled coldly. "Isn't it just that you're deliberately picking a fight, planning to give me the silent treatment, and then take the initiative to break up with me after that?"

"No! That's exactly what you think?" Xu Su glared at him. "I was genuinely angry, and you think I was just picking a fight?"

Zhou Mochen looked down at her: "What are you angry about?"

This person genuinely doesn't know...

Xu Su was speechless: "I treat you like my boyfriend, but you treat me like a child. Of course I'm angry! You always act like you unconditionally indulge and spoil me. Maybe it's nothing to you, but sometimes I'm clearly not wrong, and you still act like you're being willful, but I'm willing to give in to you. It's hard for me not to be angry!"

It makes her seem so domineering and unreasonable!

The implication of constantly asking "Why are you arguing with her?" is, "She's still a child."

How is this any different from those spoiled parents who indulge their unruly children? They're really raising her like a child!

"Then what should I do? If I don't protect you and give in to you, am I supposed to lecture you every day?" Zhou Mochen frowned: "Is it because I unconditionally give in to you that you're throwing such a tantrum?"

“...No, not really.” Xu Su also felt that saying that made her seem ungrateful, so she sighed, “Anyway, don’t treat me like a child, I’m not a child.”

"I don't treat you like a child, Xu Su. I'm not a pervert. I only like you, not a child." His tone was extremely serious.

He probably cares a lot about what she said at the dinner table...

Xu Su also felt a little embarrassed. What had she said in front of Shen Chen?

The atmosphere finally eased, and Zhou Mochen pulled her hand down: "Let's go eat. If you're going to lose your temper in the future, do it after you've eaten."

"..." Xu Su looked up at him, but couldn't tell anything.

I wonder if he took her angry words seriously...

She couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Mochen, I like you, you know that, right?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Su became anxious: "What's wrong! The fact that I argued with you shows that I like you, that's why I'm holding a grudge. You didn't actually believe those angry words I said, did you? If you really believed them and are holding a grudge, then I..."

"How are you?"

"...What can I do?" Xu Su glared at him. "You insist on making yourself miserable, what can I do?"

"Am I looking for trouble?" Zhou Mochen laughed, released his hand from the doorknob, moved it to the lock to engage the double lock, and then grabbed Xu Su, who hadn't even reacted yet, and threw her onto the bed. "Am I looking for trouble!"

"Isn't that right?" Suddenly thrown onto the bed, Xu Su jumped up and pulled him onto the bed as well, fiercely grabbing his neck: "You always say you'll give me your heart, so do I have to give you my heart too before you believe how much I like you?"

She looked like she had suffered a terrible injustice. Zhou Mochen squinted at her for a couple of seconds, then pulled her hand away. "You left the arcade with Xi Zirong at 3:20 pm, and he took you back to Yupin Central at 9:30 pm. Where did you go during those six hours?"

“I went to the hospital, to Changshi People’s Hospital. You can check the medical records.” Xu Su said quickly, afraid that he would overthink again, without even daring to hesitate: “I left the hospital around six o’clock, went to a restaurant, I don’t remember the name, and went back after eating. That’s the whole story, I’m not lying to you!”

Zhou Mochen asked, "What did you two do in the private room?"

"???" Xu Su stared wide-eyed: "How...how did you find out that I went to dinner with him?"

If that's the case, why insist on asking her? Isn't it just to see if she'll continue to lie?

Xu Su was both angry and helpless, feeling that her credibility with him was on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Didn't you say you liked me?" Zhou Mochen smiled, a smirk playing on his lips. "Then answer me, what did you two do during those two hours in the private room?"

"What can we do besides eat?" What was he thinking? Xu Su felt utterly helpless.

"Is that so?" Zhou Mochen lifted her chin, his voice extremely calm: "No rekindling old flames?"

"...Don't be like this. You know my phone was smashed. I didn't contact him first. It was just a coincidence that we ran into each other. He saw that I was injured and kindly took me to the hospital. He also saw that I hadn't eaten all day and treated me to a meal."

Xu Su looked him straight in the eye without flinching: "Nothing like what you're thinking. Apart from eating, nothing else happened."

"Why did you go with him? Why were you alone in a room with him? Why did you have to get involved with him again?" Zhou Mochen no longer suppressed his emotions, coldly grabbing Xu Su by the back of the neck and pulling her in front of him: "You know how much I resent his past with you, and this is how much you like me? Xu Su, do you even know what liking someone means?"

"When you got into his car, did you consider how I would feel if I found out?"
