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

"what?"

The familiar voice above her head made Xu Su freeze for a moment before she stiffened her neck and looked up.

"Zhou Mochen!" Her eyes widened in surprise. "How could it be you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Mochen stood there for several seconds, seemingly before he understood what she meant, and his expression immediately changed.

Xu Su also realized what was happening. She pinched her own face, then touched the person next to her. After confirming that the young man Zhou Mochen was real, she happily hugged him: "I'm back! I'm really back!"

"Zhou Mochen, I had a dream that scared me to death!" She was still a little frightened: "That dream felt so real, I thought I was never coming back."

"Oh?" Seeing that her expression seemed genuine, Zhou Mochen carefully suppressed the turmoil that had just surged in his heart and slowly responded, following her words to ask, "What kind of dream did you have? It was so scary."

"I dreamt of you when you were eighteen. You don't know, that dream felt so real. I could feel the pain in the dream, and I couldn't even tell it was a dream!"

Xu Su looked relieved: "Luckily it was a dream, otherwise what would you have done if I couldn't come back?"

"Me at eighteen?" Zhou Mochen frowned. "Su Su, you're quite the wistful one."

His words were pointed, and Xu Su blushed slightly. She avoided his gaze and sat up shyly.

So it seems she really was dreaming about him because she was thinking about him during the day; she was longing for his appearance as a teenager, and as a result, she actually created such a realistic dream with him as a teenager in her dream...

Thinking about what happened in her dream, Xu Su covered her face with her hands, wondering if she had been too blinded by lust.

Seeing her so embarrassed, and considering what she said when she first woke up, Zhou Mochen understood everything. His face darkened slightly: "Xu Su, I'm lying right next to you, and you don't even want me when you're having a wet dream?"

The object of her affections was still a young man.

Zhou Mochen's face darkened even more. "So you still think I'm too old, right?"

"That's not how it is!" Xu Suyi explained righteously, "There was no such thing as a wet dream. In my dream, I rejected you and did nothing. We just slept in the same bed."

As she spoke, Xu Su realized that the boy in her dream was not someone she could simply imagine.

Her body ached all over, as if she had climbed a mountain all night; she was nowhere near the state of someone who had just woken up.

Did she travel through another small world in her dream?

Xu Su thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with any results. So she stretched her arms, threw off the covers and got out of bed: "Get up, we're going to my grandma's house today."

Ignoring Zhou Mochen's dark face, she went straight to wash up.

Xu Su was in a hurry to get back to her grandmother's house, so she only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast before pulling Zhou Mochen out in a rush.

Only after she sat in the passenger seat and set off did she have time to massage her aching limbs.

After casually complaining that she shouldn't hug someone like that to sleep next time, which caused her to not get any sleep, Xu Su leaned her head back in the chair, squinted her eyes, and prepared to catch up on her sleep.

As Zhou Mochen listened to her complaints, he kept glancing at the passenger seat while driving. Seeing that she did indeed look listless and drowsy, he even reflected on whether he had hugged her too tightly and made her uncomfortable.

Xu Su felt that she had forgotten something very important, but she was too exhausted to think about what it was.

But subconsciously, my heart was always hanging in mid-air, unable to let go.

Even when sleeping, he couldn't sleep peacefully, his hand unconsciously covering his chest, his brows furrowed tightly.

Zhou Mochen noticed that she seemed to be having a nightmare, and since they were almost at their destination, he simply took her hand and patted it: "Susu, we're almost at Grandma's house, wake up."

Xu Su was groggily woken up by him, her expression extremely dazed. She blinked and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Zhou Mochen, I remembered something."

"What's wrong?" The country road was bumpy and uneven. Zhou Mochen turned around and pointed at the road, reminding him, "Your phone is vibrating."

Xu Su, who was about to speak, was forced to stop talking. She reached into her bag and took out her cell phone, which was her uncle's landline.

Xu Su paused slightly, then swiped to the right to answer the call.

"Susu, where are you?"

Hearing the old man's concerned question on the other end of the phone, Xu Su replied, "We've already arrived on Shuainan Street, and we'll be there in five minutes at the latest."

Grandma Xu agreed on the other end of the phone, quickly hung up, and hurriedly called her family to set out the food and drinks.

The granddaughter brought her boyfriend home for the first time, so she was a special guest to Grandma Xu and Uncle Xu. No matter what, they had to treat her warmly.

Xu Su had just hung up the phone when Zhou Mochen picked up where they left off: "What was that you just remembered?"

"..." Xu Su looked at the familiar scenery outside the car window and took a deep breath: "I'll talk about it later, we're almost there."

Her expression was a little off. Zhou Mochen pursed his lips and nodded, feeling a strange heaviness in his heart.

Soon, the houses of Grandma Xu and Uncle Xu could be seen in the distance by the roadside.

Zhou Mochen had been to this place twice, arriving before dawn and dusk, only to be able to stop by the roadside for a brief meeting with Xu Su before heading back overnight.

This time, he parked his car in the yard of his uncle Xu's house. When he got out of the car, his grandmother Xu specially set off firecrackers to welcome him as a guest.

From the moment Zhou Mochen opened the car door, a gentle smile never left his lips. Combined with his incredibly deceptive face, he truly looked like a gentle and kind-hearted noble young master.

Xu Su had witnessed his ability to bewitch people before, so she was unsurprised and simply explained it to her family.

At first, Grandma Xu and her two uncles looked a little uneasy. After all, they knew that this was a ruthless person who could chop off the fingers of his girlfriend's biological father. The Chen family had been law-abiding citizens for generations, so how could they not be terrified upon hearing this news?

Even after the group sat down at the dinner table and had a few rounds of drinks, Zhou Mochen remained polite and humble throughout, clearly a child raised in a well-mannered family, and definitely not a heartless or insane person.

Chen's two uncles couldn't help but wonder if there was some misunderstanding involved.

They know the Xu family's ways all too well; they might even exaggerate and frame them unjustly.

Thinking this, the smiles on Xu Su's two uncles' faces became much more genuine, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more harmonious, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.

Xu Su was a little stunned as she looked at Zhou Mochen, who was toasting her uncle glass after glass. She hadn't expected this man to be so humble. When had she ever seen him offer a toast to someone else?

Even in her previous life, her two uncles had only ever received a toast from Zhou Mochen at their wedding; they had never had the chance to eat at the same table together.

After all, at that time, there was no way she would have taken the initiative to bring Zhou Mochen back to meet her family.
