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

Before Xu Su could finish processing what she had just heard, Sika immediately followed up with, "Now I'm giving you two choices: loving you the most or only loving you. Which one would you choose?"

Xu Su decisively replied, "The one in the back."

“That’s more like it!” Sika laughed as she pulled open their tent and pushed Xu Su inside. “You know that true love is loving only one person. Saying you love only one person is just for kids.”

“Again,” Sika said with a smile, looking at Xu Su who was changing into her pajamas. “Can you accept that your boyfriend Zhou Mochen has a ‘female confidante’?”

Xu Su paused in her changing, then said without hesitation, "No."

Forget about close female friends, she's still angry even now that Zhou Mochen accidentally showed half of his body to other women.

I still feel depressed when I think about it occasionally.

"What if he also has an ex-girlfriend he can't forget, like you and Xi Zirong tonight..."

"No!" Xu Suchao shouted, "He doesn't have an ex-girlfriend!"

She couldn't imagine Zhou Mochen kissing other women.

Xu Su's intense reaction made Sika raise an eyebrow: "With your possessiveness, how dare you say you're not 'indispensable'? I'm really curious about what Zhou Mochen has done to make you feel so secure and never feel anxious about losing him."

Xu Su remained silent.

Jessica laughed and changed the subject, "So, can you accept Xi Zirong having a new girlfriend?"

She gave an example: "If Xi Zirong had a new girlfriend when we met today, could you accept it?"

"..." Xu Su seemed to understand. She pursed her lips and said directly, "Yes."

There might be some unavoidable disappointment, but she can accept it.

Jessica said, "And what about when you're together? When you're with Xi Zirong, do you also have such a strong possessive and exclusive desire?"

Have it?

When Xu Su thought back to the time when she and Huang Feng and Qian Jia bumped into a girl blocking Xi Zirong, her slight unease hadn't even surfaced yet, and her first reaction was to pull her two friends away quickly.

After they got together, she even asked Xi Zirong to tutor Wu Qianqian. Even when she later found out that Wu Qianqian had feelings for him, she was still angry, but it was completely different from Gu Yue's anger when she saw Zhou Mochen half-naked.

Then, after the breakup, she caught him seemingly kissing Gu Yunjia. That was the time she was most bothered by it. A year of relationship was real. The fact that the boy who was supposed to be hers was being intimate with someone else made her feel so disheartened that she forgot to hide it in front of Zhou Mochen.

In short, she also had a possessive streak towards Xi Zirong…

Xu Su remained silent, but her expression was easily read. Sika could see right through her. After clicking her tongue twice, she sighed, "I feel a little sorry for your boyfriend, what should I do?"

"???" Xu Su looked up: "What do you mean?"

"It's true that love is exclusive, but there's another saying: love and liking can coexist."

Sika laughed and said, "But in China, this kind of thing mostly happens to men. Keeping the wife at home while having mistresses on the side is what those men who have achieved some success are most proud of, isn't it?"

What a thing as keeping the home fires burning while having affairs on the side...

Xu Su retorted, "...I'm not that kind of person."

Jessica said "Oh," and then winked and asked, "Who was that person who was just kissing their ex-boyfriend so passionately?"

"..." Xu Su was speechless, and was quite embarrassed and angry when asked: "Anyway, I'm not the kind of person who has multiple affairs!"

“What’s there to be embarrassed about in front of me? Even if you went and slept with your ex right now, I’d still be on your side.” Jessica hooked her arm around her neck and grinned mischievously. “Tell me, did you sleep with him when you were together?”

"…without."

"Seriously? You didn't even make a move on such a handsome guy?" Sika felt sorry for her: "Don't you think it's a shame he'll end up sleeping with someone else?"

"do not think so."

She's not sick, yet she demands that Xi Zirong remain chaste for her. If he can truly let go and start a new relationship, she'll only be happy for him.

Sika urged, "Why don't we get things done tonight? I don't think he'll refuse you."

“…Don’t talk nonsense!” Xu Su covered her face with his hand and pushed her away. “I have no interest in that.”

"No, no, no, you have it! You definitely have it!"

Sika gave him a knowing look: "If you really weren't interested in him at all, you wouldn't have spent two hours with him in the tent, kissing and hugging him. Admit it, Susu, you subconsciously want to sleep with him. At least, you're not against sleeping with him."

"I'm absolutely certain that if it weren't for the wrong location tonight, and with Jiang Chusheng and I waiting outside, you guys..."

"Impossible!" Xu Su disagreed: "I'm certain that I love Zhou Mochen, and I would never cheat on him."

“I believe you’re speaking from the heart, but…” Sika paused for a rare moment before saying, “Sometimes, reason doesn’t prevail, otherwise you wouldn’t have kissed him.”

"..." Xu Su stood frozen in place.

Sika's words made such a good point that Xu Su couldn't help but wonder if she was really as she described.

Is she really someone who can coexist with love and liking?

She loves Zhou Mochen, so she won't allow anyone to covet or touch him, not even by accident.

But she also liked Xi Zirong, not out of guilt, nor because of any romantic illusion, but because she genuinely liked him, so she didn't resist his kisses at all.

Even if she did something else, she would subconsciously accept it?

…………

Oh shit!

She's such a jerk!

After Sika's analysis, she was truly confirmed to be a scumbag!

Xu Su can't accept that she is this kind of person. Isn't this a double standard?

She demanded that Zhou Mochen become completely immune to the opposite sex, but she herself…

Xu Su scratched her head in frustration, unwilling to say another word, and went to sleep.

Seeing her deeply hurt expression, Sika kindly refrained from saying anything more.

After all, it takes time to accept that you're a jerk, and she understands that.

Xu Su didn't sleep well. She finally fell asleep, but then woke up because she had drunk too much alcohol before bed and felt suffocated.

It was pitch black outside. Sika was sleeping soundly next to him. Xu Su didn't wake her. He turned on his flashlight and went out of the tent alone.

The bonfire party had long since ended, and all was quiet except for the camp's main lights, which cast a dim, yellowish glow.

After leaving the makeshift restroom, Xu Su did not go back to sleep, but instead went to the stream not far from the campsite.

Apart from the sounds of the wind and water, everything around was extremely quiet.

Such a quiet night...

Xu Su took out her phone. It was past four in the morning. Her fingertips hovered over the screen for a long time before she finally found a number and dialed it.

The beeping sound lasted only one and a half rings before being answered on the other end.

"Su Su?" The man's voice was hoarse and questioning, as if he were still dreaming.
