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

"Why should I explain to you? Who I travel with is none of your business!" Xu Su almost burst out laughing. What right did he have to question her like that, acting like he was her boyfriend? How ridiculous!

"Whether it matters or not is up to me," Shen Chen said, looking at her with a slight smile. "Xu Su, you should be glad that Xi Zirong wasn't here when I came in."

As he spoke, a sudden surge of malice rose in his eyes, and he took a few steps closer. "Traveling with your ex-boyfriend, is this what you've done?"

He suddenly approached, and Xu Su didn't care about anything else. She jumped up and tried to run out the door, but she was no match for Shen Chen's speed. The next second, he grabbed her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

Shen Chen restrained all her struggles with both arms, but Xu Su resisted desperately like a madwoman. His fractured ribs in his lower abdomen had not yet healed, and they ached from being pushed against by her elbows. He could only grit his teeth and press her down on the bed.

“I won’t do anything to you if I say I won’t. If you’re willing to talk to me, we can talk properly. If you’re not, then I’ll use my method.”

He knelt down to suppress Xu Su's resisting legs, held her waist with one hand, and raised an eyebrow: "You still have some injuries, but it won't affect anything. If you want to use my method, I'd be happy to."

Xu Su knew perfectly well what wouldn't be affected and what his methods were. She glared at him resentfully.

"Can you speak properly?" Even though he had the upper hand, Shen Chen couldn't even manage a smile. He didn't want the girl beneath him to stare at him like that.

But there's nothing he can do; without force, she simply won't pay any attention to him.

Shen Chen licked his lips and lowered his head to coax her, "Be good, don't look at me like that, it'll make me hard."

Xu Su turned her head away from his approaching face, "Get up! Stay away from me!"

“Okay, I’ll get up,” Shen Chen said, gently stroking behind her ear with his fingertips, “...Why are you so scared?”

He remembered that last time he was very careful and didn't touch her at all, so why did it seem like he was the one who committed a heinous crime of rapism?

Thinking of last time… Shen Chen swallowed hard. Urged by Xu Su, he brushed aside the stray hairs on her neck with his fingers, wanting to kiss her earlobe before getting up. The next second, his whole body stiffened.

He stared at the red mark behind the girl's ear, remaining motionless for a long time.

Xu Su sensed something was wrong and was about to cover her ears when Shen Chen grabbed her wrist and pinned it above her head. Her heart pounded. "What are you doing!"

Shen Chen remained silent with a stern face, and directly lifted the hem of her clothes.

Xu Su was wearing pajamas and wasn't even wearing a bra as she was about to go to sleep. She panicked the moment she saw his action.

"No! Shen Chen, no!"

But with her hands pinned above her head, she had no way to stop him and could only watch helplessly as he lifted her clothes up to her neck.

His gaze swept over her smooth body inch by inch, his expression terrifying—at least Xu Su had never seen him look like that before.

Even when he tied her up and bullied her that day, he let her hit and scold him the whole time, and coaxed her with a smile.

Now, Shen Chen's eyes were like ice, so sharp that Xu Su shivered. After checking her over, he reached out and pulled down her clothes to straighten them.

Xu Su thought he had gone completely mad, but unexpectedly, his hand reached into his pants again...

She could no longer hold back and struggled desperately again, cursing him as she struggled and kicking him with all her might.

Shen Chen had no choice but to stop pulling down her pants and press down on her shoulders: "Alright, I'm not going to do anything, just check. I've seen all of your bodies before, let alone seen them, I've even kissed them. Why are you so excited?"

"Get out!" Xu Su shouted. "Get out of here!"

"I'm leaving, let Xi Zirong come instead?" Shen Chen sneered, grabbing the back of her neck and poking the red mark hard with his fingertips: "Well done, Xu Su, running off to some remote place to put on a show of adultery?"

"Looks pretty fresh, just made, right?" Shen Chen said, his hand reaching towards Xu Su's pants. "Let me see what else you two have done."

"No, no!" Xu Su was terrified of his crazy behavior and cried, "I didn't do anything, please don't bully me."

Shen Chen paused slightly, then looked up at her: "I bullied you?"

Xu Su was still crying, and she was crying in a very unsightly way, the kind of crying where she didn't care about her image at all.

"I feel like you've been bullying me all along, Xu Su. You've been bullying me all along, you know that?"

He reached out and gently wiped away the girl's tears as she cried her heart out. His movements were gentle, but his voice was fierce: "I'm not even convinced that you lost to Brother Zhou. What is that Xi Zirong anyway? How dare she get involved with you?"

Xu Su trembled, daring not to speak out against her anger.

"Your first love, huh?" Shen Chen chuckled. "Look at how lingering you two are. Don't tell me he was your first man."

His smile was chilling, and Xu Su felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly shook her head.

Shen Chen raised an eyebrow: "Is that the second one?"

“…There’s only one.” Xu Su hiccuped, “Only Zhou Mochen.”

Shen Chen lowered his eyes and stared at her, as if trying to determine whether it was true or false.

Perhaps it was because her crying was so pitiful, or perhaps he didn't want to scare her anymore, but in any case, Shen Chen didn't continue.

He slowly straightened Xu Su's clothes, then lowered his head and kissed the tip of her ear. The moment he smelled the familiar fragrance, Shen Chen really wanted to just do whatever he wanted without thinking.

In her heart, he could no longer be considered a gentleman.

Why not play the villain for once?

But in the end, Shen Chen still got off her.

"You think I've bullied you?" He sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers fidgeting idly, as if puzzled. "How have I bullied you?"

Xu Su lay there blankly, silent.

Shen Chen looked down at her and smiled, "Su Su, you have to understand that a man shouldn't bully a woman like I do. I admit I really want to bully you, but I haven't done it yet, have I?"

"In front of you, I am a complete saint, almost completely useless. Didn't you guess I was impotent before? I guess it won't be long before it really is true."

Jiang Baiyi had previously discussed with him whether his feelings for Xu Su were purely physical or emotional, and whether he could distinguish between them.

He couldn't explain it clearly at the time, but he knew that it was definitely more than just a matter of his kidneys.

Now he understands that the most prominent characteristic of loving someone is feeling heartache; it's truly being unable to bear to let them go...

Who is he?

He was a man who, after experiencing the pleasures of love in his youth, was never without women around him.

During his most unrestrained years, he embraced all kinds of exciting activities without hesitation, and whenever he showed special interest in a woman, it was all driven by lust.

One day, such a person actually fell in love with a woman so much that he couldn't bear to touch her, and wished he could take out his true heart and show it to her.
