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

Xu Su, with his rebellious spirit, felt a little itchy and really wanted to ask what he planned to do if she fell in love with someone else…

But you don't even need to ask to know, it's just a death threat...

I hate that about him!

Xu Su took a deep breath, too lazy to continue the conversation, got up and went back to her room to wash up and prepare for bed. As a senior in high school, she still had to get up early tomorrow.

This topic is too heavy, and human nature is too complex; she hasn't even figured out what she's thinking yet…

Let's just live like this. At least she can be sure that she's happy with Zhou Mochen now, and that she really likes him.

Besides the pressure, Xu Su also felt a pang of heartache for him that was hard to express. Whenever she thought about what she had done and the barbed words she had said to him, she felt heartache.

She had very mixed feelings, but she couldn't talk to Huang Feng and Qian Jia. Both of them were inexperienced in relationships and felt very sorry for her and Xi Zirong's relationship. If they knew how extreme Zhou Mochen was, they wouldn't know how to persuade her to break up.

Even if they didn't know, the way Zhou Mochen beat people on the playground last summer left a deep impression on Qian Jia and Huang Feng, and they had a very bad impression of him.

Having witnessed Zhou Mochen's unwavering commitment to picking her up and dropping her off over the past six months, they had marveled at their best friend's charm a few times. However, with Xi Zirong as a prime example, none of them had ever praised Zhou Mochen's good qualities; at most, they had remarked that he was indeed handsome…

Who would understand? Zhou Mochen, a perfectly normal domineering CEO, actually became a sensation in the entire middle school just because of his good looks.

Guang Xusu noticed that every time he waited for her at the classroom door or by the car door after school, many girls would steal glances at him with cautious eyes, just like those of girls secretly in love…

~~

In early May, Xu Su received a package from Beijing, a small, square box.

Inside, there's a watch. The case is made of metal and glass, with a cool touch that looks very high-end. The dial has a complex hand movement, and most people probably wouldn't know how to tell the time. The strap is black.

This is a mechanical watch that looks very unique.

After examining both sides, Xu Su recognized it as a limited edition from LCM's Sapphire Collection, with no more than one hundred available worldwide. The one in her hand was slightly different from those on the market, with light blue hands that resembled sapphire material, making it highly likely a custom-made piece.

No less than five million...

Xu Su looked again at the sender information on the express delivery box: Liu Nian.

She doesn't know him.

I took out my phone and entered the sender's phone number, but there was no saved number. I checked again to make sure it was someone I didn't know.

Xu Su stared at the words "capital city"...

Was it sent by Shen Chen?

Apart from Shen Chen, she really didn't know anyone else in the capital in her entire life.

Just as I was thinking of this, my phone rang. Speak of the devil, and he appears.

On the phone, Shen Chen still had that nonchalant tone: "Xu, did you receive the watch I carefully picked out for you?"

"Did you really send it?" Xu Su walked out of the classroom with her phone in hand. "Why would you send me a gift out of the blue?"

"How could this be so inexplicable?"

Shen Chen leaned back in his chair, rubbing his aching temples to relieve his fatigue, and said with a light laugh, "Isn't it your birthday coming up? The watch I gave you last year is gone, so I'm going to get you a replacement. I was thinking of going there in person, but the company is launching a new product recently, so I can't get away and can only send it to you."

He spoke as if giving her a birthday present was the most natural thing in the world.

"..." Xu Su held the expensive mechanical watch in her hand and remained silent for a while until Shen Chen, not hearing her speak, thought the signal was bad and called out several times before finally asking, "How much?"

"Why do you keep asking about money? Are you being so materialistic?" Shen Chen clicked his tongue lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's about the same price as the previous one. Don't be so fussy with me. It's petty to keep passing the buck when giving a gift, you hear me?"

That's bullshit, the price is about the same as the previous one!

Xu Su must have had an entire watch cabinet of this brand in his past life. It's a top luxury brand, and even the cheapest series starts at seven figures. Moreover, it's a membership-only brand, so even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy it. Every high-end watch enthusiast is proud to own an LCM.

This is taking advantage of her being a poor high school student with limited horizons...

Xu Su took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to expose him, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so keen on giving away watches? I already have watches, what do I need so many for?"

People who are used to wearing watches tend to raise their wrists to check the time, and Xu Su is no exception; she wears a watch every day when she goes out.

Shen Chen guessed correctly. Zhou Mochen did not return the rose gold watch that Xu Hao had worn to her, but instead prepared a simple and elegant platinum watch with a thin chain for her.

Wearing it on your wrist is understated and doesn't attract attention. The price should be around six figures, making it perfect for students. Xu Su really likes it.

"Didn't I tell you? You can never have too many watches. You should have all kinds of styles and colors so you can match them with what you're wearing that day." Shen Chen said with a smile, "The watch I chose is quite unique. I spent a long time choosing it. You really don't like it? You can't possibly not like it."

"Keep it even if you don't like it; maybe you'll like it someday."

He said somewhat helplessly, "I don't know what you like, but I figured a watch wouldn't be a bad gift."

"It's not about whether to express it or not, Shen Chen, you..."

The main thing is that this person is so busy, yet he still remembered her birthday. Xu Su held her phone, caught in a strange loop.

On one hand, she felt that such a playboy could never have done this out of personal affection for her. Don't be narcissistic, don't be narcissistic…

On the one hand, I also think, what if?

Even if it's for Zhou Mochen's sake, he doesn't need to be so eager to give gifts.

So, what exactly does Shen Chen mean?

Xu Su had a bit of a headache, so she simply asked, "Have you noticed that you're too good to me?"

“Mm.” Shen Chen agreed, “Just know that I’m good to you. Just think of it as me getting a good laugh from your scolding. It’s a novel feeling. I just want to be nice to you, is that so wrong? Don’t flatter yourself, Xu Su. I have no other intentions.”

Xu Su fell silent at his blunt question. "So, you've never been scolded before?"

"What do you think?" Shen Chen said irritably. "You don't think I have such a good temper that anyone dares to curse at me, do you? Xu Su, do you remember how you cursed at me the first time we met? If you hadn't been brought in by Brother Zhou, you would have to walk out with your head held high, understand?"

"……Understand."

Actually, she blacked out and only remembered a small part of her memory. But since she was going to walk around like that, why did she say she enjoyed being scolded...?

"Just understand, relax, and stop thinking about whether I'm interested in you." Shen Chen chuckled. "Xu Su, I just think you're quite interesting. Let's just chat as friends."

Xu Su chuckled dryly.

If that's the case, then of course it would be best; no one can have too many wealthy and generous friends.
