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

Barely suppressing the impulse in her heart, Xu Su closed her eyes and spoke softly to the figure leaning against the wall: "No matter what our relationship is like, Xi Zirong, I truly hope you are doing well from the bottom of my heart."

I really hope he shines in his field, instead of appearing so颓废 and world-weary.

What has she done!

How did he end up like this?

Xi Zirong turned her head to look in her direction and smiled, "I know, you can go in."

Xu Su felt heavy-hearted and extremely uncomfortable.

I can't say whether it's more guilt or heartache...

Back in the private room, Xu Ran was singing "Under Mount Fuji" into the microphone.

Everyone only has those two hands.

Even with hugs, it's hard to possess you.

To gain something, you must first understand how to accept loss.

I once wandered along the snowy road

Why shed tears for good things?

Who can claim Mount Fuji as their own simply because of love?

Why not express your sorrow?

The assumption is based on your imagination.

It can't be found in the test tube, yet it stains the eyes.

Hardened past like stone

He abandoned it and ran away as fate dictated.

I am by no means rare

Walk around the street

I vanished into nothingness.

The boy's cool, clear voice was very captivating, but it only exacerbated my already depressed mood...

Xu Su listened quietly for a while, and suddenly felt that Qian Jia's ex-boyfriend really did have a bit of a scumbag vibe.

Singing any song can attract the attention of several girls.

Who can possess Mount Fuji out of love...?

Xu Sumo pondered the lyrics silently for a while, found them rather boring, opened a beer, slowly took a few sips from the bottle, put it down, and joined the dice game next to her.

Melancholy and sentimentality don't suit her; if she's in a bad mood, she'll just have a couple more drinks until she feels good.

This was an experience she gained from her past life: as long as you get drunk quickly enough, you won't have any unfounded thoughts.

Whether it's Xi Zirong or Zhou Mochen, put them aside.

……

Zhou Mochen, who had been left aside by Xu Su, was calling her. After several unanswered calls since around 5 p.m., the atmosphere in the car became increasingly tense.

Huang Chao, in the passenger seat, mustered his courage and turned to the man in the back seat, carefully saying, "My younger sister told me last night that there's a class reunion today. I wonder if Miss Xu is going too? Maybe it was too noisy and she didn't hear your call."

Zhou Mochen looked up. "Where?"

Huang Chao said, "It's the Junyue Hotel."

Zhou Mochen paused, his fingers gripping the phone, and dialed another number.

Huang Chao, during his student days, thought that the so-called majestic aura and decisiveness described in books would, in today's peaceful era, amount to nothing more than harsh words and fierce and cold-blooded manner.

It wasn't until she was by Zhou Mochen's side that she realized it wasn't like that at all...

There really are people in this world who can exert tremendous pressure on you with their calm and gentle tone and composed demeanor.

Without needing to be stern or even give you a glance, they can make you feel like you can't breathe, even when you're in the same space.

And for the past few days, he had this feeling all the time…

Huang Chao secretly guessed that the problem most likely stemmed from his younger sister's good friend.

Having followed Zhou Mochen for so many years, Huang Chao prided himself on having seen it all and understanding his boss's ways of doing things. Yet, every time he encountered Miss Xu, he was still more shocked than ever.

Every time he felt he had elevated her status in the boss's eyes, the next time they met he felt it wasn't enough, that he could elevate it even further…

When Zhou Mochen entered the private room, Xu Su and several classmates were having a great time playing dice. It wasn't until everyone around quieted down that she saw the man who had already walked up to her.

He wore a dark gray shirt, buttoned all the way up, without a tie, and rolled up his sleeves at the elbows, revealing half of his arms. His slightly protruding Adam's apple exuded an air of asceticism, and his tall, slender figure gave off an unapproachable aura just by standing there.

Normally, seeing him like this, Xu Su would want to reach out and unbutton his shirt.

But now...

Thinking about the cold war of the past few days, Xu Su looked away. She had just lost a game of dice, and as she picked up her wine glass to drink, Zhou Mochen stopped her. His face was dark as he looked at the smoke-filled private room and said coldly, "Is your phone just for show? How many times have I called you, and you haven't answered a single one?"

"Leave me alone." Xu Su shook off his hand, finished her drink in one gulp, and called out to the few classmates who were as quiet as chickens, "Continue."

Several classmates were intimidated by Zhou Mochen's imposing presence, and smiled awkwardly, not daring to make a move.

Xu Su then looked up and glared at Zhou Mochen: "Either sit down or leave. Don't stand here and scare my classmate."

Zhou Mochen stared at her expressionlessly for a long while, and just as Xu Su was about to lose her patience, he sat down.

So Xu Su sat to Huang Feng's right and to Zhou Mochen's left.

Huang Chao, who followed Zhou Mochen in, stood frozen in place, his worldview being reshaped once again.

Xu Su didn't care about any of that; she called on Fu Jun and the others to continue rolling the dice.

As if he was sulking, he lost several rounds in a row. When he lost again and had to drink the penalty wine, a hand reached out from the left and snatched the wine glass. Zhou Mochen's voice was so cold it could drip water: "Enough!"

Xu Su didn't turn her head, handed him the wine glass, and casually said, "Then you can drink it for me."

“Okay, I’ll drink it for you.” Zhou Mochen downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, put down the glass, and took Xu Su’s hand: “Let’s go home.”

"I'm not going back!" Xu Su pulled her hand away. "Go back if you want, I haven't had enough fun yet."

What to do when you go back?

Is he just leaving it at home all by himself?

She ate lunch alone; her boyfriend didn't even call.

Why should he be able to see her as soon as he gets home?

She's not even married yet, and she's already living the life of a resentful woman?

Thinking of his coldness these past few days, Xu Su gritted her teeth and continued shaking the dice. If she lost, Zhou Mochen would have to drink for her.

Isn't he the type to control her?

Should we forbid her from drinking?

Then he can drink it himself...

So Huang Chao watched helplessly as his young and promising boss, who was always nonchalant about no matter how big the project was, was used as a hostess by a young girl.

As Xu Su deliberately lost, he drank his beer with a blank expression.

It wasn't until several classmates couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere any longer that they realized something was wrong, even though they were usually oblivious to the situation.

Remembering the rumors about Xu Su's boyfriend's extraordinary abilities, and seeing the nervous look on the assistant-like man's face, they all felt that something big was about to happen, and one after another they made a hasty escape to pee.

Soon, the sofas were empty, and even Huang Feng was moved to the other side by her brother's signal.

Xu Su felt disappointed; she had finally managed to get out and have some fun, and this person just had to ruin it.

Her hand was gripped tightly as Zhou Mochen put his arm around her shoulder, coaxing her gently, "Are you calm now? Come home with me."

"I told you, I don't want to go back, don't you understand?" Xu Su's stubbornness flared up. She shook off the hand on her shoulder and sneered, "Go back for what? To see you give me attitude?"

Zhou Mochen withdrew his hand, stared at her silently for a long time, his dark eyes churning. "I'm giving you attitude? Xu Su, be reasonable. I've practically been treating you like royalty. What more do you want?"
