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

Zhou Mochen is eighteen years old now, while Shen Chen is only seventeen?

"What's wrong?" Her eyes were filled with undeniable concern, as if he were about to contract some serious illness, which made Shen Chen stare blankly: "What kind of look is that?"

Should I talk about this?

Xu Su hesitated for only two seconds, but still felt that her friend's health was more important, and then said very decisively: "Shen Chen, listen to my advice, don't play too wildly while you're still young, you need to know how to be moderate and take care of your health."

What's that saying again? Young people don't know the value of fine things…

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Chen frowned deeply.

Zhou Mochen was taken aback for a moment, but reacted quickly and instantly understood what was going on.

He was still a young man, and he and Shen Chen were brothers who grew up together. Hearing that his future self might...

Zhou Mochen's expression immediately became tense.

"That's what you meant."

Now that she had started, Xu Su was determined to finish her sentence. She practically pleaded with him, "Just listen to me, I won't hurt you. It seems like you've damaged your health six years later. Even with a stunningly beautiful female celebrity right in front of you, you're powerless, you know?"

"..." Shen Chen was so shocked by the news that he stood there stunned for a long time, his forehead veins throbbing. "How did you know?"

Even if he can't get his true form back, how can he still be known by everyone?

No matter how wild he might be in the future, the seventeen-year-old boy was completely taken aback upon hearing this news. "Did I tell you that myself?"

Can their relationship be this good?

"Of course not!" Xu Su denied it outright.

What a joke, this isn't something to be proud of.

She was too embarrassed to bring it up directly, so she just guessed...

Xu Su sighed. What should she say?

You can't just say, "I know there was a woman who would have been yours, but you didn't take her. Isn't that impotence?"

What other reason could there be for a prodigal son to not sleep with a woman, besides physical limitations?

"You used to be very promiscuous, but then suddenly you became very virtuous."

Xu Su became increasingly certain as she spoke, and simply countered, "Shen Chen, besides the fact that you're impotent, what other reason do you think there is for you to have not been with a woman for over two years?"

Shen Chen himself said that he hadn't touched a woman for more than two years, so he couldn't be lying, right?

"I've given you all the advice I could." Xu Su looked at the bewildered boy. "Whether you listen or not is up to you, Shen Chen. You decide what to do."

Friends are friends, but you can't stop him from having fun.

Seventeen-year-old Shen Chen, it's unknown whether he has already begun his life as a prodigal son.

Thinking of this, Xu Su asked with some curiosity, "You're only seventeen, you wouldn't have already started...?"

She was only halfway through her sentence when she met Shen Chen's gaze and immediately fell silent.

...It's kind of scary.

Shen Chen glared at her, his face turning pale, unable to utter a word for a long time. Finally, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

Xu Su glared at the door that had been slammed shut with a deafening roar and yelled angrily, "No good deed goes unpunished! I was only doing this for your own good!"

"All right…"

Zhou Mochen, who had witnessed the whole thing, trembled slightly at the corner of his eye and pulled the girl beside him: "I know you mean well, but it's normal for Achen to not be able to accept this kind of thing right away. Give him some time to process it."

After hearing this, Xu Su felt that it was indeed understandable that Shen Chen couldn't accept the news at this moment. "What you said makes sense."

He quickly forgave his act of slamming the door.

Having suddenly arrived in this world, Xu Su was both excited and somewhat at a loss when she met Zhou Mochen and Shen Chen in their youth within half a day.

It's too fantastical; it feels like you're floating, without any sense of reality.

So she tugged at the arm of the person next to her, "Zhou Mochen, is this my dream? You've become young and entered my dream, right?"

"You were pinching and biting yourself just now because you thought you were dreaming?" Zhou Mochen found it somewhat amusing. "How can I prove to you that I really exist?"

Xu Su thought about it seriously, her eyes lit up, and she felt that she was really smart: "Tell me a secret that no one knows except yourself. When I get back, I will ask you at twenty-four years old to confirm it. If it is true, then you are not a figment of my imagination."

When I get back…

Are you so sure you can go back?

Since you're already here, what will I do if you go back?

Zhou Mochen's gaze was inscrutable. He gave her a deep look, then stood up and brought her a glass of water.

After Xu Su couldn't help but urge him, he said calmly, "The summer before last, my father asked me to take over the heavy industry enterprise under the Zhou family, but I refused."

Two years ago, Xu Su blinked unconsciously. Zhou Mochen was sixteen years old, working in the heavy industry…

"Anything else?" Xu Su raised an eyebrow. "That's all?"

Zhou Mochen looked down at her, "Don't you know what Zhou's Heavy Industries does?"

Xu Su shook her head blankly: "What do you do?"

"The shipyard is currently ranked among the top three in the world and number one in China. They can build cargo ships, cruise ships, all kinds of ships and yachts. You can think of any kind of ship they can build."

Shen Chen returned for some reason and answered Xu Su's question in a calm tone. Seeing that the two people on the sofa were looking at him, he tilted his head and chuckled, "I just feel like it's not worth leaving like this."

Actually, he regretted it as soon as he stepped out the door. What do you mean by saying that not having touched a woman for two and a half years means he must be impotent? How could he possibly be impotent!

Xu Su glanced at Shen Chen, not having time to pay him any attention, and then turned to Zhou Mochen: "You refused when we were asked to get involved in the family business, so that's the secret?"

Such a trivial secret?

She was indeed worldly-wise; she was unfazed by Zhou Mochen, who held all the real power in his thirties, and even a shipyard of this size didn't seem particularly impressive to Xu Su...

Therefore, it is incomprehensible how incredible it is that a sixteen-year-old boy would take over it.

Zhou Mochen was slightly taken aback by her question, and after a long while, he said, "The reason I refused was that I wanted to do what I like first, and then listen to his arrangements two years later. At that time, I also signed a gentleman's agreement with my dad. My mom doesn't even know about this."

"I see."

Upon hearing that there was an agreement and that even her mother-in-law was unaware of it, Xu Su nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I've got it. I'll go back and confirm with you when you're 24 to see if this is true."

She had never known this in either of her two lifetimes. If it were true, then the boy in front of her was not a figment of her imagination, but Zhou Mochen from a real parallel world.

"Is one secret enough?" Shen Chen walked over. "How about I give you one secret to check with my counterpart in that other world?"

“Of course,” Xu Su looked up, her eyes shining. “But you have to tell me the real secret, the kind that no one else knows. Otherwise, you’ll think I found it out from Zhou Mochen.”
