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

“Next life…” Xi Zirong grabbed Xu Su’s head with one hand and pinned her against the door: “Why the next life? Have you forgotten? I was here first in this life. He was the third person who came between us. Su Su, can you be fair to me?”

"Sorry…"

"Shh!" Xi Zirong interrupted her softly, "There's no need to apologize to me. His behavior was disgraceful, and I'm not exactly respectable either. We each got what we deserved, so there's nothing to apologize for."

He buried his face in the crook of her neck and sniffed, his voice low and husky: "To be honest, Su Su, I really didn't want to stop you just now. Even the 'breakup paws' you mentioned would have been fine, anything, as long as I could have you."

Xu Su: "..."

She was speechless and chose to remain silent until her hand was taken…

Her eyes widened, and she suddenly tried to pull it out.

He held it tightly: "Touch it, Su Su, touch it."

"no!"

Xu Su's face flushed red: "Xi Zirong, calm down!"

"I can't calm down."

Xi Zirong chuckled: "Su Su, let me tell you the truth. Before I was sixteen, I didn't have anyone in my eyes or heart. I was calm and self-controlled and never had any dirty desires. But ever since I met you during the military training in my first year of high school, you have been the object of all my fantasies."

“I remember telling you this, and I even asked you if you thought I was disgusting or scary.”

Has your answer changed now?

He restrained her hands and whispered in her ear, "Susu, do you think I'm disgusting right now?"

Disgusting?

"..." Xu Su turned her head away from his kiss, feeling only absurdity in her heart.

She thought of Shen Chen, she thought of Shen Chen again!

What did Shen Chen say back then? He talked like a madman, and Xu Su was on the verge of a breakdown, so she couldn't hear him clearly at all. She only remembered him repeatedly saying, "I'm not disgusting, don't despise me"...

So, is it really disgusting?

Xu Sumu remained expressionless, letting Xi Zirong do as she pleased.

She couldn't understand why she would think of Shen Chen because of a single word!

Just as he said, once there was physical intimacy, therefore…

How could he use such methods to make her remember him?

After an unknown amount of time, the person in front of him paused in breathing...

Xu Su felt the grip on her wrist slowly loosen. Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably as Xi Zirong gently kneaded them in his hand: "Does it hurt?"

The boy's usually clear voice was now tinged with a satisfied sensuality, an allure unlike anything he had ever heard before, like a hook scratching at the heart...

Unfortunately, Xu Su didn't react at all; her expression remained blank.

Xi Zirong didn't mind. He took her hand, lowered his head and kissed her fingertips. His eyes were still red with desire, and he teased her, "You're the one who took off my pants first, so don't be angry with me."

As if remembering something, he took her hand and guided it to his lower back: "I have a back dimple too. You can touch it anytime you want. Stop thinking about Si Xuan, okay?"

I still remember what Jessica said a dozen days ago...

Xu Su's numb fingertips touched the hollow of his lower back, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Don't worry, I will never provoke Si Xuan."

Emotional debts are hard to bear; she should have understood this long ago.

Zhou Mochen, Xi Zirong, Shen Chen—once she's entangled with them, she can't shake them off. How dare she provoke Si Xuan again!

Xi Zirong intertwined her fingers with hers and asked in a low voice, "When do you plan to go back to the capital?"

"..." Xu Su took a deep breath: "Can you leave now?"

She couldn't bring herself to chat with him normally after something like this happened.

"Can't you stay?" Xi Zirong was reluctant to let go. Knowing that Xu Su was soft-hearted, she said in a pitiful tone, "If I go back, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight, Su Su. You have no idea how fast my heart is beating right now."

Xu Su looked up at him and repeated, "Can you leave now?"

Xi Zirong paused, her relaxed smile slowly fading. After a long silence, she finally hummed in agreement: "Okay..."

He carried Xu Su to the bed and sat her down. He knelt down and kissed each of her fingertips one by one. Then he looked up at her with gentle and harmless eyes and said, "I'm going out now, Su Su, don't be angry with me."

Xu Su remained silent.

Xi Zirong rambled on for a long time before finally picking up the tissues from the ground and throwing them in the trash can. After tidying up, she came over to hug Xu Su, only to be hit by a pillow: "Get out!"

Seeing that she was really angry, Xi Zirong stood still and dared not go any closer. After a long while, she touched her nose, closed the door and left.

The moment the door closed, Xu Su jumped up and ran into the bathroom…

Xu Su didn't answer the phone until her cell phone rang, her hands red from washing.

It was Zhou Mochen calling.

After Xu Su answered the call, she immediately pressed speakerphone. Before the other end could speak, she said, "Zhou Mochen, I'll bring you a gift when I get back. Is there anything you want?"

She wanted to go back. If she stayed here any longer, Xi Zirong didn't know what kind of mutation she would undergo.

He seemed to have seen through her stubbornness and soft heart, and that she always skirted her bottom line in her words and actions. Given his intelligence, it wasn't impossible for him to gradually erode all her rationality.

If she can't be offended, can't she at least avoid him?

Holding her phone, Xu Su pressed, "How's the bracelet?"

She bought another agate bracelet this afternoon, but it hasn't been blessed yet. I don't know if he'll like it.

“A bracelet is fine,” Zhou Mochen said, his voice brimming with undisguised joy. “Anything you give me is fine.”

A pang of guilt flashed through Xu Su's heart, and then she heard him ask, "Su Su, when are you coming back?"

"I..." Just as she was about to say that she would go back tomorrow, she stopped herself and changed the subject, saying, "I don't know yet. I'll definitely have to travel around for a few more days. I haven't been to places like Medicine King Mountain or Potala Palace yet."

Xu Su decided to give him a surprise. She had tried to surprise him at the construction site last time, but it didn't go well. This time, she would make up for it!

"Okay, remember to let me know when you're coming back, and I'll come pick you up." Zhou Mochen had no objection to her words. He could wait for his little girl to leave for more than twenty days, and with only a few days left, he was patient enough to let her have as much fun as she wanted.

He asked curiously, "Did you have fun today? We finally arrived at LS City, which I've been looking forward to."

"..." Xu Su paused guiltily, choosing to avoid the question. She sniffed and said, "Zhou Mochen, I miss you."

A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "What are you thinking about?"

"...Are you making dirty jokes at me?" Xu Su poked the phone screen as if she were poking the person on the other end of the line, and snorted: "Zhou Mochen, how come you're getting more and more glib?"

“Hmm…” Accused of being glib, Zhou Mochen didn’t hold back and continued to ask, “So, my Su Su, what exactly are you thinking?”
