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

Jessica chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, drink less. We're going to have another round of drinks later, so we can't get drunk now."

As she spoke, she whispered to Liu Yun, "Sister Yunyun, does the sect leader have a girlfriend?"

Her eyes sparkled, and it didn't seem like a casual question. Liu Yun couldn't help but be taken aback: "You don't like Si Xuan, do you?"

“Oh, saying you like him is too sentimental.” Sika glanced at the man walking in from outside and whispered, “I just think he’s really amazing, sleeping with him for one night would definitely be worth it.”

Xu Su/Liu Yun: "..."

The two girls, both pure in love, remained silent.

Sika said, "Although it's the first time we've met, I bet his family is very well-off."

Xu Su agreed with this statement; she did have some discernment.

Children raised in truly cultured families exude an aura of elegance in every gesture. The grace they reveal is something that etiquette teachers can never teach; it is a quality cultivated from a young age and ingrained in their very being.

Even if someone is low-key and doesn't flaunt their abilities, their relaxed and effortless demeanor still stands out in a crowd, making them unforgettable.

Si Xuan was just like that, tall and slender with a straight back. When he stood, he was like a green bamboo. In such a restless society, Xu Su could actually see that he had an indomitable spirit.

Liu Yun was more familiar with Si Xuan than they were, but she didn't know him very well either. She said softly, "I only know that he is from Pengcheng, and I haven't asked about anything else."

She looked at Sika: "Don't even think about our sect leader. He's definitely harder to win over than your previous crush. Don't you know that on our school's list of heartthrobs, he's the hardest to approach? He doesn't give you any chance at all. You can't even see him. How are you supposed to pursue him?"

"Before you joined the group, there was a beauty in our school's music department who somehow got wind of Si Xuan playing online games. She created an account specifically to get close to him and successfully attended the offline gathering. Her intentions were probably too obvious that day, so she was forced to leave the group the next day. Si Xuan kicked her out himself."

"That's outrageous!" Sika exclaimed, then immediately became suspicious: "He wouldn't like men, would he?"

Liu Yun really thought about it seriously, and hesitated before saying, "I don't think so. He's just so-so with Nanyang and Beiyue, not very close to them."

She earnestly advised, "If you don't want to be kicked out of the group, then stop thinking about his body. There are plenty of handsome mixed-race men abroad, so go ahead and have your way with them. Let's leave our domestic heartthrobs to the girls here."

“But I’ve never seen such a perfect man abroad,” Sika said, her gaze casually sweeping over Si Xuan’s direction, her eyes darting around. “His proportions, his waist… I wonder if he has dimples. I’ve never met a man with dimples.”

“…” Xu Su, who had been sitting silently between the two, coughed lightly, “I think so.”

Sika stared wide-eyed at Xu Su: "How did you know?"

Liu Yun also looked over hesitantly.

Xu Su was startled to realize that she had actually spoken her true feelings. She opened her mouth, but under the two people's surprised and uncertain gazes, she quickly came up with an excuse: "I guessed."

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint blush rose to her face.

Gan!

The way she said that made it sound like she had been fantasizing about him for a long time!

Thinking of this, Xu Su quickly said, "It's not what you think, I..."

She hurriedly tried to explain, but at that moment the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a familiar male voice seemed to explode in her ears: "Xu Su!"

Xu Su was interrupted halfway through her sentence. She looked towards the door and saw Shen Chen striding in.

"Why didn't you answer my calls?" Shen Chen asked with a stern face, ignoring the gazes of more than twenty pairs of eyes. He walked directly to Xu Su and carefully observed her condition: "Where did you go yesterday? Didn't you say you were going to the ancient town?"

Although they hadn't seen each other for only a day, so much had happened in between that Xu Su felt somewhat unfamiliar with Shen Chen in front of her.

She only told Zhou Mochen that she was eating here. How did Shen Chen find out?

Xu Su pursed her lips, not wanting to have any close contact with Shen Chen anymore. She was afraid of Zhou Mochen's petty and irritable nature; he would go crazy at the slightest disagreement.

But she was also unwilling to talk to Shen Chen about those ridiculous relationship matters in front of her friends whom she was meeting for the first time.

As they remained at a stalemate, unsure of what to say, Shen Chen's gaze swept across the people at the table. When he saw Si Xuan, whom he had met once before, his gaze paused for a moment, and then suddenly turned cold.

To everyone else, Shen Chen's attitude made him seem like a jealous boyfriend, wary of having his girlfriend stolen away.

The lively private room fell silent for a moment. Many people were thinking to themselves that Xu Su's boyfriend seemed alright, but wasn't his personality a bit too domineering?

But when we went out for a meal, he actually showed up at our door, acting like he was 'guarding against a mistress'.

Soon, seeing the awkward situation, a few boys laughed and called the waiter to bring a chair, inviting Shen Chen to sit down.

Shen Chen stood motionless in front of Xu Su, staring down at the silent girl: "Let's talk."

Xu Su's knuckles turned white from gripping the chopsticks so tightly, but she quickly stopped, as if she hadn't heard anything, and slowly picked up some fish to eat.

She wanted to make this person back down. She had already treated him like nothing, so surely Young Master Shen should have some self-respect?

Unexpectedly, Shen Chen had no intention of backing down. He grasped Xu Su's arm and tried to pull her up, his voice gentle and patient: "Xu Su, talk to me. Since you know me..."

The sound disappeared as the girl's voice trembled slightly.

"What happened to your arm?" Shen Chen paused, then raised his hand to pull off her shawl, but Xu Su stood up and dodged him.

"Alright, let's chat then." Xu Su picked up his glass, finished his drink, and smiled apologetically at his friends, "Excuse me, I have some personal matters to attend to, please excuse me for a moment."

She moved the stool away to leave, but Xila stopped her: "Don't go too far. If anything happens, send a message in the group chat."

One of the boys shouted, "That's right, remember to call for help if anything happens, we're all here."

They probably thought Xu Su wanted to break up with him because her boyfriend was clinging to her…

Xu Su smiled and thanked him, wanting to say something more, but Shen Chen grabbed her wrist, saying with a half-smile, "Look at this scene, do you think I'm going to eat you?"

"..." Xu Su shook off his hand and walked towards the door.

Shen Chen followed closely behind. Just before leaving, he turned back to look at Si Xuan, who had been silent all along, said "Excuse me" and closed the door.

As soon as they left, the private room erupted in chaos.

Everyone was speculating about the relationship between the man who came to see Xu Su and Xu Su.

Is he really my boyfriend?

If so, did they have a fight and are breaking up?

Some people say that Xu Su's boyfriend looks quite decent and doesn't seem like the kind of beast who would deceive high school students.

Another person commented that this man had too much of an aura and was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
