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

Xu Su had no time to listen to what he was saying; her thoughts were still immersed in Zhou Mochen's gaze.

She had never seen Zhou Mochen look like that before…

Helplessness, pain, and panic mingled together, making her realize that the invincible man in her memory seemed to be in extreme grief at this moment.

Xu Su clenched her fists and looked at the two men wrestling together.

As expected of childhood friends with similar family backgrounds, their fighting skills were remarkably alike. They unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, each one aimed to kill the other without holding back.

The murderous intent in Zhou Mochen's eyes was so intense it almost materialized, and Shen Chen wasn't exactly a morally upright person either.

He said he'd let him have three punches, and after those three punches, even the last trace of guilt vanished. If someone who didn't know the situation saw his fierce expression, they might think his brother had stolen his girlfriend.

Xu Su did not step forward to stop it. She sat expressionlessly at the foot of the bed and watched until the battle spread to her side.

The bedroom was large, but it couldn't withstand a fight between two men who were nearly 1.9 meters tall. With nowhere to hide, Xu Su simply got up and went outside.

Whether she did it willingly or not, what happened has happened, and Zhou Mochen's anger needs to be vented. Shen Chen is the best outlet for his anger.

No matter how badly he was beaten, he deserved it.

As for whether he can survive the fight?

Xu Su wasn't worried at all. Even if Shen Chen hadn't taken three punches first, Zhou Mochen definitely wouldn't lose. She had witnessed the ruthlessness of that guy in her previous life.

Xu Su didn't want to stay there. She blinked, held back her tears, opened the door, and went out.

The burly men at the door looked at each other, unsure whether they should stop them. Their orders were to stand guard at the door and not allow anyone to enter.

While they hesitated, Xu Su had already strode away. She wanted to go back to the private dining room, since her bag was still inside and she had to get it back.

As she passed the public restroom on the floor, Xu Su paused and walked to the mirror at the sink.

Her reddened eyes clearly indicated she had been crying. Her lips were alright, as they were naturally red and only slightly swollen. The most important thing was her ears.

Shen Chen, for some unknown reason, kept nibbling on her earlobe for at least half an hour, causing her right ear to turn bright red, burning hot, and with a tingling sensation...

Xu Su stared blankly at herself in the mirror, then suddenly picked up a glass bottle of hand sanitizer and smashed it against the mirror. The mirror shattered, and the girl inside was broken into countless tiny fragments.

She reached out and picked up a shard of mirror scattered in the sink, about to slash her face, but before she could do so, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Don't do anything stupid."

A gentle male voice rang out, and Xu Su seemed to awaken from a trance. Her fingers loosened slightly, allowing the person to take the glasses away.

Throwing the 'weapon' in his hand away, Si Xuan lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was about to harm herself: "What happened?"

"Don't look at me!" Xu Su turned her body to the side, turning her right cheek away from him, keeping her head down and unwilling to look up.

When someone she knew fairly well saw her in this state, Xu Su wished she could dig a hole and disappear.

She must have been out of her mind to think of going to the private room to get her bag!

"Excuse me," Si Xuan said, turning his gaze from her ear to the back of her delicate neck, and asked softly, "Where is that person? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Xu Su knew he was asking about Shen Chen, after all, she and Shen Chen had been out for a long time and hadn't gone back, and when they met again, he was in this state...

He even planned to disfigure himself with a knife...

Anyone who tries to make connections can't think of anything good.

Xu Su lowered her head, unsure of what to say. Si Xuan tentatively raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

“No need,” Xu Su took a half step back to avoid his hand and asked in a low voice, “Could you help me get my bag out? It’s not convenient for me to go back.”

After a few seconds of silence, Si Xuan nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, he beckoned a waiter, briefly explained that he had broken the mirror, gave the room number, and asked the waiter to watch over the room.

As for what he was looking at, he didn't say it explicitly. The waiter assumed he was looking at the broken mirror to avoid hurting the customer, but Xu Su knew that he was afraid she would hurt herself again.

Si Xuan returned quickly, handing her a bag and a baseball cap along with it. "Wear this, it'll cover you up."

The hat was a large size, probably his own. Xu Su hesitated for a second, but still reached out and took it.

The bun she had tied when she left home had long since fallen loose, so Xu Su simply untied it, letting her slightly wavy long hair fall down. Her hair was in very good condition, and she casually combed it with her hands before putting her hat on her head.

Her waist-length hair was more than enough to cover her ears, and the brim of her hat could also cover her red and swollen eyes. The only problem was that their head sizes were different, and the hat was too big.

Xu Su tried adjusting it a couple of times but couldn't get it right...

"Let me do it," Si Xuan said, putting his hand on the buckle and adjusting the hat brim in a few quick movements. He then withdrew his hand and said, "You can look up now. Doesn't your neck get sore from hanging your head down like that?"

"Thank you, Si Xuan," Xu Su lowered the brim of her hat and raised her head, "Can I return the hat to you next time?"

They go to the same school, so even if they don't meet up in the group chat, they'll still have a chance to return the hats when school starts.

"Hmm, it's fine if you don't return it," Si Xuan said gently. "Do you need me to take you home?"

Xu Su shook her head: "No need, I'm going back with my boyfriend."

"Is he here to see you?" Si Xuan frowned slightly. "Are you going back with him?"

She mistook Shen Chen for her boyfriend...

She didn't know where the urge to confide came from. Perhaps it was because she had no one else to talk to, and Si Xuan gave off the feeling of a familiar, warm old friend. Or perhaps his appearance was just right. She had just seen her most gloomy side, so she wasn't afraid to let him know more.

In short, Xu Su curled her lips and said bluntly, "It wasn't him. The person who came to the private room to find me was my boyfriend's brother, a brother I grew up with."

"As you can see, this is how my ears were kissed by him,"

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "They're still fighting right now. I really am a femme fatale."

"Is this why you scratched your face with the lens?" Si Xuan's pupils contracted slightly. "Punishing yourself for someone else's mistake?"

Xu Su didn't want to listen to these preachy platitudes. She nodded casually: "I didn't mean to punish myself. I was just annoyed and didn't want to be bothered by people anymore. This face is the culprit. If it's ruined, I'll stop."

I'm annoyed...

Si Xuan frowned and remained silent.

"Alright, I'm going back." Xu Su waved to him, "Thank you for today. Don't worry, I've figured it out and won't do anything foolish again. You're right, I can't punish myself for other people's mistakes."

Before he could turn around, his shoulder was grabbed and Si Xuan said, "You weren't here just now, so you don't know that we decided on a team building activity. Let me tell you."
