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

Even though she's a big star now, Xu Su hasn't changed much. In fact, even if she really made it into the entertainment industry, she might not be as clean as a prostitute.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry appear glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes they might be even more uninhibited than prostitutes…

Although Xu Su doesn't treat girls with clearly marked prices as human beings like Xie Si and the others, she also doesn't have an overflowing sympathy and insist on playing the role of saving fallen girls.

No matter how elaborate their methods, as long as they don't force women into prostitution, they're not scum; it's just a transaction of money and sex...

In her past life, Zhou Mochen did indeed take advantage of her misfortune, but he genuinely helped her when she was desperate. To be honest, Xu Su had no right to blame him.

In fact, what Xu Su found most unbearable in the early stages was her parents' actions. At the age of ten or so, she was essentially betrayed by her parents. How could she accept that?

Later on, she simply couldn't understand Zhou Mochen's thinking. If he truly liked her so much, why didn't he give them a proper start...

Without being reborn, Xu Su might never have guessed that Zhou Mochen might have also been reborn. So, what memories did he carry with him when he was reborn, leading him to make this choice?

Get the person first...

On the other side, after Xu Su and Zhou Mochen left, the card game ended, and several groups of people entered the private room. Charming girls danced around the pole, their alluring bodies swaying to the music in the dim light.

Jiang Baiyi and Shen Chen sat in the corner, with no women around them.

The two clinked glasses, and Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment before whispering, "You've taken a liking to Xu Su too?"

Shen Chen downed the wine in one gulp, his expression indifferent. He made no attempt to hide anything, and simply hummed in acknowledgment.

Even though he had already guessed, Jiang Baiyi's pupils still dilated in shock. He stared at Shen Chen with wide eyes and said, "Brother Zhou is different from us. He doesn't seem interested in hanging out with many people."

"..." Shen Chen was silent for a moment, then finally understood what Jiang Baiyi meant, and pushed him irritably: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How can you talk nonsense? Brother Zhou is obviously very interested in that girl, and he definitely won't let go anytime soon."

Jiang Baiyi didn't understand what Shen Chen meant by "taking a fancy to" at all. He just applied it to his past experience, remembering that he and his brothers had also been interested in the same woman at the same time.

Of course, he wouldn't let a woman affect the brotherhood between them. It's not like he's ever been involved in something like that before, but Zhou Mochen never gets involved in those things.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Wait a bit. I estimate that it will be at least three to five months, and at most one or two years, before Brother Zhou's business cools down. If you don't mind then, you can take over again."

"..." Shen Chen remained silent for a long time, feeling as if he were talking to a brick wall.

"What are you thinking about?" He didn't answer, which annoyed Jiang Bai. "Achen, you're not planning to fight with Brother Zhou for a woman, are you?"

"I admit, Xu Su is indeed beautiful. I've never met anyone as beautiful as her in my life. To be honest, I'm also attracted to her, but it's not worth brothers fighting over her! She's just a woman."

"Just wait a while, until Brother Zhou gets tired of it, then you can..."

"Alright! I'm not planning to compete with Brother Zhou, can't you tell? I'm fucking having a crush on him." Shen Chen was impatient to listen any longer and warned with a cold face: "Bai Yi, if you still consider me a brother, don't describe her as one of those women you can manipulate."

"..." Jiang Bai's pupils dilated again, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

"Don't tell me you're serious!"

Shen Chen remained silent, then chuckled softly…

Jiang Bai took a deep breath, as if he had encountered something he couldn't understand: "Ah Chen, can you tell the difference between being attracted by love and being attracted by lust? Seriously, after all these years of playing around, do you still have any sincerity left?"

After a woman has experienced a lot, even the most beautiful woman is just so-so once the lights are off. She might have smoother skin, making her a little more pleasant to sleep with, and giving him a little more pleasure.

As for being tempted?

nonexistent.

Judging from his own experience, Jiang Bai didn't think Shen Chen was truly in love; at most, he was just imagining things for the time being.

But Shen Chen laughed. He leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head and looked at his good brother: "Bai Yi, tell me first what it means to be moved by the kidneys and what it means to be moved by the heart."

"Do I have to explain what 'wanting to have sex' means?" Jiang Bai glanced at him, giving him a look that said, "Don't you know what I'm pretending to be? Haven't you, Young Master Shen, ever experienced the urge to sleep with a woman you see?"

"Yes, I have." Shen Chen nodded casually. "I'm pretty sure I didn't have that kind of impulse towards her."

Do you want to go up?

To say he didn't want to would be a lie. That summer, the kiss in the car—she was so unwilling, yet he was captivated by it.

After that, I thought about that scene every day and night, wanting to taste it again. I couldn't sleep at night because of it, it was like I was possessed.

But is it just about wanting to sleep with someone?

If it were that simple, it would be easy to handle. Even if Brother Zhou is keeping a close eye on things, as long as he wants it, he can always find a way to get what he wants.

If sleeping with him once could break his obsession and make him stop thinking about his brother's woman, then he would be willing to do it.

But he knew there was no solution, and in fact, he loved her so much that he couldn't bear to go against her wishes and do anything that would make her unhappy.

He must be completely bewitched!

Shen Chen chuckled softly, looking at his good brother, and asked, "What does 'being moved' mean? Tell me about it."

"Feeling moved..." Jiang Bai was silent for a long time, then sighed: "I don't know either. I did have a serious girlfriend when I was around ten years old, but I didn't feel that my heart was really moved. You have to have some symptoms to feel moved, right? I've never experienced that."

Shen Chen said, "What I mean by being moved is that you can't live without her, and you can't do anything without her."

This description sounded like that of a Casanova. Although Jiang Bai didn't understand it, he was greatly shocked. "So, you're not allergic to perfume at all, but just don't want anyone else?"

Shen Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Seriously? You're so old, are you really going to stick to this whole 'remaining chaste' thing?" Jiang Bai rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Achen, why don't you just be honest with Brother Zhou and see if he's willing to give you up? But he's rarely taken a liking to a girl these days, so he probably really can't bear to part with her."

Shen Chen shook his head and chuckled, amused by Jiang Baiyi's naiveté.

If Brother Zhou really found out what he was thinking, he might completely turn against him, and he even gave Xu Su to him...

However, how long could he keep his thoughts hidden? Shen Chen looked at Lina sitting not far away, and his smile slowly faded.

This is the woman Xu Su chose for him.

He was so angry he wanted to grab her and kiss her right then and there, and he had no idea how he managed to hold back.

Ask him if he's tempted by his kidneys or his heart...

Isn't the most tragic thing the whole thing?

If one cannot possess both a person and a heart, then surely one must obtain at least one of them?

Otherwise, wouldn't that be too terrible...?
