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

“…Zhou Mochen,” Xu Su lowered her head and suddenly called his name softly, “A man just touched my leg and tried to lift my skirt.”

Zhou Mochen's jaw muscles tightened, suppressing a sudden surge of anger, and he said gently again, "This isn't your fault..."

"Two of them pinched my cheeks."

“…Alright,” Zhou Mochen swallowed hard, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. He patiently said, “What else did they do? Tell your brother, and your brother will avenge you.”

“They said it was all my fault, that I was too good-looking and deliberately came to the construction site to lure them into committing crimes.”

"Bullshit!" Zhou Mochen shouted coldly, then, afraid of frightening her, his voice quickly softened: "I wasn't talking about you..."

"They also said they would be my man and that if they took good care of me, I wouldn't want to leave."

"..." Zhou Mochen's teeth were grinding together.

Like a child tattles on something to their parents, Xu Su blurted out, "They even planned to take nude photos of me to blackmail me, thinking that would make me afraid to sue them."

"He even waved his hand as if to slap me, but I dodged it."

“If you had come any later, they would have dragged me into the shed.”

"Zhou Mochen, did you hear me calling you?" As she spoke, Xu Su clenched her hands and finally looked up at him: "I've been calling you for so long, I even used a megaphone, did you hear me?"

Her eyes were full of grievance and lingering fear, which made Zhou Mochen, who was filled with murderous intent after hearing her detailed description, freeze for a moment, followed by a feeling of empathy and heartache.

"I heard you, I heard you." Zhou Mochen hugged her tightly and choked up as he said, "It's my fault, I'm late, it's all my fault. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm sorry, don't be afraid."

His eyes were red, and his voice grew softer and softer as he hated himself for not arriving immediately, causing her to suffer these humiliations for no reason.

He won't let any of those people go...

Not a single one!

He will show them what regret, wrongdoing, and despair are.

Xu Su did not speak.

How could she not be afraid? She was terrified.

She rarely gets love-struck, but after a fight, she still came to surprise him and try to coax him. The result? She was almost gang-raped by several men in broad daylight at a construction site shed…

If he had shown up even half a minute later, she would probably be dead there today.

Xu Su pried the hands off her waist: "I don't want to sit on you, let me off."

She was taking her anger out on others, a anger fueled by lingering fear, and she was completely unreasonable.

Even with Zhou Mochen's exceptional intelligence, he couldn't discern Xu Su's inner thoughts at that moment. He was unwilling to let go and even tightened his grip.

He gently rubbed his chin against the girl's head, swallowed all his emotions, and asked softly, "Why did you come here alone? Who told you I was here? Why didn't you call me beforehand?"

Xu Su lowered her eyes: "Are you blaming me?"

That's not what I meant.

Zhou Mochen noticed that she was upset, so he took her hand and kissed it: "I was just scared. Su Su, you shouldn't have come to such a dangerous place alone and put yourself in danger."

In a place like a construction site, many low-level migrant workers don't even know many words and have no concept of the law. She is even more unaware of her own beauty. Destructive beauty suddenly descends upon this place, and nothing pleasant or good will definitely happen.

Equality, politeness, and respect only exist among people who are morally upright and civilized; they are absent here.

Perhaps, even if they do have such ideas, they are superficial and fragile, because they lack self-restraint and can easily cross the line...

She didn't realize that her beauty could easily bewitch men and inspire evil thoughts in them.

Even a playboy like Shen Chen was captivated and became chaste, looking quite devoted, didn't he?

Xu Su lowered her head, not wanting to speak.

Zhou Mochen lifted her chin and carefully examined her expression.

Xu Su's face had just been touched by two workers, and the dirt left behind was washed away by her tears, making her look like a little kitten. Her eyes were also red and swollen from crying.

Zhou Mochen felt extremely sorry for her. He took a wet wipe and gently wiped her face clean while constantly comforting her.

Finally, he couldn't resist lowering his head to kiss her...

Xu Su turned her head away and said, "I don't want to sit on you. Put me down."

"Okay." Zhou Mochen paused for a moment, then slowly released his hand from her waist.

Xu Su immediately got up from his lap, moved to the chair next to him, and sat down far away from him.

Zhou Mochen's eyes darkened slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then took her hand and held it tightly.

Xu Su was only able to shake off the sweat when she got off the bus, her palms covered in a sticky layer of sweat.

She ran through the gate and upstairs without stopping, rushing straight to her bedroom to take a shower.

Xu Su was not only terrified today, but also disgusted.

She originally thought that Zhou Mochen's initial coercion and enticement in her previous life was disgusting enough, but she didn't expect that she was still too naive.

At least in her previous life, her body could accept Zhou Mochen's touch and even derive great pleasure from it. In fact, upon careful consideration, she didn't dislike him as much as she thought.

Today, she finally understood what kind of man Gu Yunjia was talking about.

How disgusting, despicable, and terrifying!

Xu Su washed for a full hour, paying special attention to cleaning her thighs, which had been touched and her arms, which had been dragged around by several people.

It wasn't until Zhou Mochen, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but knock on the door for the third time that she finally wrapped herself in a bath towel and went out.

Zhou Mochen stood blocking the doorway. Xu Su pushed him twice without success and said impatiently, "Move aside."

"Are you really going to torture yourself like this?" Zhou Mochen stared at the skin on her arm that was rubbed red, then looked at her thighs under the bath towel.

Xu Su frowned and took half a step back. "Move aside, I need to change my clothes first."

The next second, Zhou Mochen picked her up by the waist and placed her on the bed. Before Xu Su could react, he casually ripped off the towel covering her body.

It was already dark, but the room lights were so bright it was like daytime.

The sight of the person wrapped in a bath towel was completely exposed under the light…

The girl's alabaster-like body, with a shy pink hue under the light, was dazzling, but Zhou Mochen felt no desire whatsoever. He quickly scanned her up and down.

Below her collarbone were the girl's beautiful, snow-white breasts, then her slender waist, so delicate it seemed impossible to grasp it, and finally…

"Zhou Mochen! What are you doing!" Xu Su had never been naked in front of others while sober before. She exclaimed in surprise and grabbed the bath towel tightly, trying to cover herself.

In just two or three seconds, Zhou Mochen could clearly see the pitiful state of her thighs, where she had almost rubbed off a layer of skin.

Zhou Mochen pulled the blanket over Xu Su, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his anger, constantly telling himself to hold back his temper, not to blame her, and not to be mean to her.
