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

What exactly happened after she blacked out yesterday? This person also seems to have suffered a great shock.

Xu Su's tongue felt numb.

They had kissed many times, but this was the first time Shen Chen had shown no restraint and released his emotions in front of her.

Her already weak legs almost gave way, and she collapsed onto him.

Shen Chen held her waist with one hand and grasped the back of her neck with the other. He turned her around and pressed her against the passenger door, his lips never leaving hers.

They kissed deeply, their eyes bloodshot.

His breath carried a faint, bitter smell of tobacco, which Xu Su disliked. However, the back of her neck was gripped tightly by him, and she couldn't escape at all.

Why is he going crazy? What happened yesterday?!

Of course, she had no idea how much of a sense of defeat Shen Chen felt when his beloved woman was poisoned by love, yet was taken from his bed by another man.

If it weren't for a last shred of reason warning him not to hurt the girl in front of him, Shen Chen would have wanted to drive her to his death right now.

Just as Xu Su was almost breathless from the kiss, her waist tightened, and Shen Chen gave her one last hard kiss before letting go.

He opened the passenger door, picked up Xu Su, and placed her on the seat.

Finally free from his control, Xu Su gasped for breath, her lips swollen from the kisses, and she pulled out a tissue to wipe them.

Shen Chen walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. Seeing her action, he didn't seem angry. He just smiled faintly and said, "Yesterday you were begging me to sleep with you, and today you've turned into an ice queen."

Xu Su was furious and gritted her teeth, about to get out of the car, when she heard him say again, "Sit still, I'll take you to collect Xi Zirong's body."

"Are you all crazy! Why are you causing trouble for Xi Zirong again out of the blue!"

Shen Chen didn't say anything. With a 'click,' the car door locked, and he stepped on the gas, speeding the car forward.

Once they were on the overpass, his gaze swept over the phone beside him. "The password is your birthday. Open it and listen to the voice message, and you'll understand why Xi Zirong had to die."

Xu Su was taken aback, then quickly picked up her phone, unlocked it, and started browsing.

A sweet and seductive voice rang out from inside the carriage. Xu Su's pupils gradually dilated, and she couldn't even be sure that she herself had said those words.

What is she saying?

Do you want Xi Zirong?

"Actually, I'm very curious, what is it about Xi Zirong that makes you so hung up on him?" Shen Chen's voice was unhurried, with a faint smile: "Or is it that he really makes you feel that good in bed?"

"..." Xu Su had no time to pay attention to his sarcastic remarks. She could tell that although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually almost insane.

If she were to actually agree with him now, this madman would probably break down on the spot.

Instead of arguing with this madman, she'd rather think about how Xi Zirong is doing now!

Would Zhou Mochen do that?

He really would... No, he wouldn't!

Xi Zirong absolutely cannot be harmed, otherwise, she will never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

She couldn't even survive. If Xi Zirong was really killed by Zhou Mochen, she wouldn't live either!

Xu Su's fingertips were trembling. She clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to calm herself down.

Shen Chen glanced at her, and seeing her deathly pale face, his smile turned cold.

Just because she's this nervous, Xi Zirong has to die.

If Zhou Mochen remains indecisive, he wouldn't mind taking matters into his own hands.

After leaving the city, the traffic on the highway thinned out. Shen Chen gritted his teeth and floored the accelerator.

…………

In the southern suburbs of Beijing, there are several abandoned old factory buildings that serve as refuge for homeless people who have no fixed abode in the city.

Zhou Mochen stood quietly for a while, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, until he finished the last puff before casually tossing the cigarette butt to the ground.

"Is anyone awake?"

One of the bodyguards standing behind him spoke up: "Just woke up."

Zhou Mochen lowered his eyes, turned around and walked into the factory gate.

Upon reaching the second floor, at the door of the room, Zhou Mochen spread out his bandaged hand. The bodyguard behind him understood and bowed to place the pistol on it.

Ignoring the pain in his palm, Zhou Mochen gripped the gun tightly, tucked it behind his waist, and pushed open the door, walking in alone.

In the dimly lit room, Xi Zirong sat in a chair with her hands tied behind her back and her mouth taped shut.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw who it was. He showed no surprise, nor any panic or fear in his eyes.

The two men, one standing and one sitting, faced each other in silence, the room eerily quiet.

Zhou Mochen looked at the man he hated to the bone. He had injuries on his face, so he must have suffered a bit last night before being kidnapped. He was only twenty years old, but he was very calm in the face of this. He was quite a character.

Sure enough, he is the man who can make Su Su etch himself in her heart.

Zhou Mochen walked in step by step, personally tearing off the tape from Xi Zirong's mouth, and quietly looked at him: "Do you know why I tied you up here?"

“That’s not important,” Xi Zirong laughed. “What’s important is that I see jealousy in your eyes.”

It's really heartwarming to realize that I'm not the only one experiencing this every day.

The more jealous this person is, does it mean that he is actually very important to Su Su?

“It seems you really aren’t afraid,” Zhou Mochen laughed. “I won’t hold a grudge against a dead person, much less against a third party, a despicable third party.”

Zhou Mochen gritted his teeth, his smile vanished, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I don't want to kill you, but why can't you learn to behave? Why are you trying to take someone from me?"

Even if she kills me, it won't erase the fact that she has feelings for me.

Xi Zirong's smile remained unchanged, and seeing his expression, she laughed even more heartily, her eyes filled with hatred no less than Zhou Mochen's, glaring at him intently.

“We’ve been together since we were seventeen. She hugged me and kissed me. We were mutually attracted. You were the third party. If it weren’t for you, she would still be in my arms. You’re the one who stole her from me!”

"Yours?" Zhou Mochen grabbed Xi Zirong and threw a punch at her. "Who do you think you are, daring to covet her!"

Xi Zirong was knocked to the corner of the wall by his punch, bright red blood flowing from the corner of her lips. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she couldn't fight back. The smile on her face also disappeared.

He pressed his lips into a straight line, speaking softly but firmly: "Why should I covet her? She was meant to be mine; she chose me from the very beginning."

Zhou Mochen's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his bandaged hand pulled out a pistol from behind his back, pointing it at him: "Say it again."

Xi Zirong smiled: "She was always mine. She chose me from the very beginning."

A loud 'bang'.

Xu Suzhen, who had just gotten off the bus, felt his legs go weak and collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

It wasn't until Shen Chen pulled her up that she snapped out of her daze, grabbing his hand and urgently asking, "Tell me, that wasn't a gunshot!"
