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

He endured the pain but couldn't bring himself to go any further, giving her the utmost respect he could offer, humbly trying to please her.

I was completely captivated by her, unable to resist wanting to give her the very best of everything.

Show her your gentlest and most patient side.

Just now, even though he was furious, he still couldn't bring himself to do it...

Seeing that Xu Su remained silent, Shen Chen didn't mind. He looked at her with his eyes lowered for a while, just thinking about how, not long ago, in this very room, this girl had been intimately kissing another man...

His resentment was truly hard to quell.

Shen Chen's gaze began to sweep across the room, trying to find some clues about her and Xi Zirong, looking just like a wife catching her husband cheating.

He searched every nook and cranny, and only relaxed slightly after finding nothing that belonged to the man.

Xu Su had already sat up in bed. Seeing his behavior, she couldn't help but sneer. Shen Chen was about to come over when his eyes suddenly caught sight of the trash can in the corner. He paused for a moment, then turned and walked towards it.

Xu Su's body suddenly stiffened, thinking of the trash can...

Shen Chen lowered his head and stared silently at the things inside. After standing there for a long time, he slowly raised his hand and unbuttoned his collar.

One, two…

His expression was extremely calm, a calmness that sent chills down Xu Su's spine. As the buttons were undone one by one, Xu Su jumped out of bed. The door was too far for her to run out, so she ran towards the bathroom.

Before the door was even closed, Shen Chen blocked it, trying to squeeze in.

"So our classmate Xu likes to do it in the bathroom?" Shen Chen smiled at her. "Sure, I'll listen to you. By the way, Xu Su, you can tell me what position you like, and I'll definitely satisfy you."

Xu Su's strength in closing the door was no match for his. The door was slowly pushed open, and upon hearing his words, she completely panicked: "Calm down, I can explain, I really didn't do it!"

Shen Chen's smile was faint, and his voice was gentle: "I am very calm now, Xu Su. Since you can accept men other than Brother Zhou, why can't I?"

"I said I didn't..."

Shen Chen quickly interrupted Xu Su: "It's alright, I don't mind. One more of me won't make a difference, right?"

He said he didn't mind, but his face was frighteningly cold. With a forceful push, he flung the bathroom door open completely.

Shen Chen squeezed in, and Xu Su screamed in fright.

He struggled frantically, his waist held captive, but to no avail. A rain of kisses fell on his face; he was determined to do something.

Xu Su could no longer tolerate being manipulated. She waved her hands, scratched, kicked, and struggled with all her might.

Shen Chen was injured, and she accidentally kicked him in the abdomen. His hand had just lost some of its strength when Xu Su slammed her head into his chest. Her restrained hand was freed, and she grabbed an eyebrow razor from beside the vanity mirror and swung it at him fiercely.

Shen Chen grabbed her wrist halfway through the fight, and Xu Su completely lost her mind. She opened her mouth to bite his hand, and as their hands intertwined, the blade she was holding was pointed at her neck. If she wasn't careful, it could pierce her delicate blood vessels.

Shen Chen's pupils constricted sharply. He didn't dare to struggle with his bitten hand, for fear of hurting her. His other hand gripped the blade tightly without hesitation.

Bright red blood flowed from between her fingers, gradually staining Xu Su's face. The sweet, metallic scent slowly brought her back to her senses, and she slowly released her grip.

Shen Chen's wrist was bitten so badly that it was a bloody mess, with bloody teeth marks that made it impossible to see his original skin color.

Ignoring his own injury, he first moved the blade in his palm. Seeing that she was gripping the hilt tightly, he coaxed her in a soft voice, "Su Su, be good, loosen your grip on the knife, it will hurt you."

Xu Su's mouth tasted of rust, and her face was covered in blood. Hearing his words, she shook her head violently, determined not to let go, for if she did, he would bully her again.

Shen Chen looked down into her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid. I would never hurt you, no matter who else I hurt."

Xu Su's mind went blank for two seconds, then she burst into laughter, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Shen Chen, how dare you say such a thing?"

"What the hell is the difference between you and a rapist! You actually think you're a romantic? Who I like and dislike, who I travel with, who I sleep with, who I kiss—what does it have to do with you? I don't like you, I don't like you, I don't like you!"

Shen Chen's face turned pale. He grasped her hand, his voice trembling and panting, his eyes full of pleading: "Listen to me, whatever you want to say, let go of the knife first."

His hand, gripping the blade, was covered in blood; the wound in his palm was so deep that the bone was visible…

Her other hand was also bitten and left a bloody mess...

Xu Su remained silent for a long time before lifting her eyelids to look at him. "Shen Chen, what exactly do you want to do! What are you trying to achieve by shamelessly pestering me like this!"

Shen Chen met her gaze, a deathly despair slowly gathering in his eyes. He said in an extremely restrained voice, "I don't know what I want to do. I can't control my behavior at all. When I heard about you, I couldn't control myself and came straight here."

Having gone more than twenty days without hearing from her, Shen Chen had no idea how he had gotten through it.

If he had a choice, he would rather shorten his lifespan by ten years than experience that kind of torment again.

His eyes were filled with an intense sense of despair, vulnerability, sorrow, and pleading, a combined force that could almost devour her.

Xu Su felt terrified and bewildered. The boundless fear made her panic and she couldn't stop trembling.

That look in his eyes…

That look in his eyes…

At that moment, Xu Su believed him; she had no choice but to believe him…

He truly loved her.

How ridiculous that after doing those things to her, he actually loved her.

Xu Su's throat was so dry she couldn't speak. She didn't understand, she really didn't understand...

Shen Chen carefully took the eyebrow razor from her hand, broke it in two, and threw it down the drain before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the fact that his hand was still bleeding, he opened his arms and pulled Xu Su into his embrace, like a cornered beast holding onto its only light. "If you're really angry, don't use a knife. If you're really angry, just slap me. It's not like I won't let you slap me."

Blood was everywhere—on his body, his face—yet Shen Chen seemed completely unharmed. Xu Su was held in his arms, smelling the strong stench of blood mixed with his own masculine scent, both domineering and vulnerable…

It even gave her the illusion that she could control the man in front of her.

Just over ten minutes ago, he was unbuttoning his shirt and trying to assault her…

Xu Su pushed him away with all her might, and Shen Chen was forced to lean against the wall next to the sink. His shirt was completely unbuttoned, and his lean muscles were faintly visible beneath the fabric...

She quietly looked at his handsome upper body and smiled: "Didn't you ask me why Xi Zirong could do it, but you couldn't?"
