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

Xu Su changed out of her crumpled pajamas, picked out a navy blue denim shirt dress, put it on, and quickly went out.

Under the bright sun, she drove a bright red Ferrari at breakneck speed to the Zhou's Real Estate building.

Xu Su walked in through the main entrance without wearing a mask, heading straight for the president's private elevator, but was quickly stopped by the receptionist.

"Hello ma'am, who are you looking for?"

Xu Su: "..."

Having her hard-won momentum of pursuing her husband interrupted, Xu Su felt as if she had fallen from the sky and was back on solid ground.

He simply couldn't utter the name Zhou Mochen...

Just as I was exchanging glances with the receptionist, an uncertain voice came from behind me.

"Ms. Xu?"

Xu Su turned around upon hearing the voice, her eyes brightening slightly; she recognized someone.

"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, but it really is you."

Li Li was taken aback, then bowed slightly and said, "Are you here to see General Manager Zhou? He went to the construction site in Lingdong District."

Xu Su knew a little about the project in Lingdong District. It was a newly built resort. Not long after it was built in her previous life, Zhou Mochen had taken her there to stay for a while.

The resort is far from the city center, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a natural hot spring. It covers a large area and even has a racecourse. Once completed, it will be a members-only private resort, inaccessible to the general public, emphasizing privacy and a return to nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

But right now, it's just a construction site.

Xu Su wasn't a good driver and didn't dare to go too fast. He also couldn't understand the navigation instructions very well, so he took a roundabout route and drove for several hours. By the time he arrived, it was already evening.

Having finally arrived, Xu Su parked the car outside the construction site and planned to walk in.

As a result, the old man guarding the construction site gate saw that she was a young girl and assumed that she had come to watch the excitement, so he insisted on stopping her from going in.

"Hurry up, hurry up," the old man waved his hand, "Do you even know what kind of place this is, yet you dare to barge in?"

Xu Su clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture: "I know it's a construction site inside. I'm looking for someone, sir, please let me in."

"You know it's a construction site, why aren't you leaving? Do you even know what's most common on construction sites? Men, and mostly young men who haven't had much schooling."

The old man lifted his eyelids and looked her up and down. "Places with lots of men are chaotic. If someone like you goes in, they might not be able to control themselves. And what about breaking the law..."

As he was speaking, as if to verify his words, several workers suddenly walked out from the side door. They were all shirtless and chatting noisily. When a few of them glanced over and saw Xu Su, their eyes widened.

"Wow, where did this girl come from? I've never seen her before!"

"Could the person who came looking for Old Man Sun be a relative of Old Man Sun?"

"You forgot that Old Man Sun is an old bachelor. In all this time, we've never seen him with any relatives."

"Is she a fairy from heaven? How did she end up in this place?"

"I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life, not even movie stars."

"Could she be some leader's mistress?"

Construction workers are all very loud. They thought they were whispering, but Xu Su could hear them clearly.

She wasn't wearing a mask, and she was wearing a figure-hugging denim dress that showed off her figure. The dress was above her knees, and Xu Su could feel the eyes of four or five men in front of her scanning her body without restraint, especially her exposed thighs, which made her feel uneasy.

She took a half-step back without making a sound, deciding whether to run to the car or go inside to find Zhou Mochen.

Li Li said Zhou Mochen was at the construction site, but she was delayed for several hours on the way. Would Zhou Mochen stay here for so long?

If Zhou Mochen weren't inside...

Xu Su immediately turned around and prepared to get into the car. Just as she turned around, she saw a man standing behind her, wearing a red safety helmet, which was different from the others.

When Xu Su turned her head, the man was truly stunned by her beauty. After a moment of surprise, he smiled kindly and asked, "Miss, what brings you here?"

“I’m here to see Zhou Mochen, your CEO Zhou,” Xu Su said, noticing that his attire was different from that of the migrant workers, suggesting he was in charge. She relaxed slightly. “He came this afternoon. Is he still inside?”

“Yes, they’re here. A group of people came to inspect the construction site this afternoon,” the worker in the red hat nodded in agreement, pointing towards the side door. “Come with me, I’ll take you to him.”

"Thank you." Xu Su's eyes lit up, and she took a step to follow him. Her gaze inadvertently swept over Grandpa Sun, the gatekeeper, and she saw him frantically winking at her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" The man in the red hat turned around and urged, "Come with me..."

Xu Su looked around and saw four or five migrant workers staring at her with wide eyes. They all understood how terrible her situation was. In her anxiety, she heard an old man next to her shout, "Run!"

Where are you going?

Xu Su didn't have time to think about anything else. Taking advantage of the moment before the group could react, she found an opening and rushed out of the encirclement. Her body, which had never exercised much, suddenly burst out with amazing speed in this critical moment.

A group of people chased after Xu Su, cursing and swearing at the old gatekeeper.

If they miss this opportunity, they may never see such a beautiful woman again in their lifetime. As for committing a crime?

Dying beneath the peony blossoms would be a romantic death...

They would be willing to spend a night embracing a celestial being, let alone commit a crime, even if it meant shortening their lifespan by ten years.

Xu Su was glad that she had worn flat white shoes today for the convenience of driving, but even so, she slowed down after running for less than two minutes.

I discovered that the gap I found was actually inside a construction site!

They've practically walked right into a trap!

Is Zhou Mochen here or not?

Xu Su was sweating profusely as she ran, pulling out her phone from the side pocket of her denim skirt. Before she could unlock it, a hand snatched it from behind and threw it to the ground.

The limited-edition rose gold phone that Shen Chen gave him shattered on the dusty, gravelly ground.

The next second, Xu Su's arm was grabbed, and a strange man's menacing voice came from behind her: "Weren't you looking for someone? I'll take you to find them, why are you running away?"

"Zhou Mochen! Zhou Mochen!"

The dragging force from behind was too strong. Xu Su struggled desperately and shouted Zhou Mochen's name, but no one appeared after a long time.

"Calling your lover, huh?" The man in the red hat chuckled strangely. "There's no Zhou Mochen here."

Xu Su was terrified: "Didn't you say that people from the capital came to inspect?"

"I'm not lying to you, but this is just a small, remote corner. The construction site is so big, how could the higher-ups come all the way here to inspect it under the scorching sun? Whether you're here to find someone or not, just give up on that idea."
