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

For the first time, Xu Su realized that a person's explosive power could truly reach an astonishing level. The moment Zhou Mochen raised his gun, she, who was originally weak and on the verge of collapse, was still able to reflexively lunge towards Xi Zirong.

At such close range, the bullet's impact was very strong. Strangely, Xu Su didn't feel any pain. Her jaw was trembling with cold, and she crawled towards Xi Zirong using both her hands and feet. This time, no one stopped her.

Zhou Mochen stood there, completely stunned. He stared at the bloodstains on Xu Su's back, his forced composure gradually fading, and he didn't even notice the gun falling to the ground from his hand.

"No...no..." As if finally realizing what had happened, Zhou Mochen staggered towards Xu Su, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and hurriedly hugged Xu Su tightly: "Someone...someone! To the hospital, I'll take you to the hospital now, I won't let anything happen to you."

Xu Su lay in his arms, her lips trembling with pain: "Are you satisfied now that it's like this?"

"No...no...I never meant to hurt you..." Compared to her, Zhou Mochen seemed to be the one who was shot. His face was as white as paper, and his arms trembled as he hugged her, repeatedly calling for someone to drive over.

The bodyguards outside had already heard the commotion and were shocked by the horrific scene inside, so they quickly ran downstairs.

Zhou Mochen was completely oblivious to everything around him. He was terrified and didn't even dare to hold her too tightly, constantly reassuring himself, "It'll be alright... The hospital is nearby, she wasn't hit in any vital areas, she'll be alright..."

Even now, Xu Su was still resisting his embrace, crying and struggling, "Let me see Xi Zirong, let me see how he is..."

Zhou Mochen was no longer as assertive as before, and kept nodding no matter what she said.

Xi Zirong was right next to her. He hadn't moved at all, but then his fingertips twitched. Xu Su saw this and rolled off Zhou Mochen, ignoring Shen Chen who had moved over at some point.

She grasped Xi Zirong's hand and cried, "Xi Zirong, are you alright? Wake up, wake up!"

Ignoring his own injuries, Xu Su's eyes quickly swept over Xi Zirong's body, finally settling on his abdomen, where all the blood was flowing from.

Zhou Mochen shot him in the abdomen!

Xu Su was filled with both hatred and anger!

“Xi Zirong…” Xu Su held his hands tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry, it’s me again… I’ve dragged you down… I always drag you down, I always make you suffer because of me…”

The girl's tears fell in a steady stream onto her face, and Xi Zirong's eyelashes trembled... She slowly regained consciousness.

"Don't cry... It's none of your business..." Xi Zirong tightened her grip on her hand slightly, "It's none of your business, it was my own choice."

His voice was very soft, and Xu Su endured the pain in her back and pressed her ear close.

He said, "Su Su, remember what you promised me for the next life."

"I agree! I agree!"

Xu Su nodded hurriedly, crying terribly. Her face was deathly pale from blood loss. "I'm sorry for what I did to you in this life, Xi Zirong. I promise you, in the next life I will definitely choose you. Only you. I don't want anyone else but you, okay?"

“Okay…” Xi Zirong raised her hand to hug her, but she was too weak and her hand fell down halfway.

Xu Su grasped his drooping hand, rested her face against his chest, and kept saying sorry.

If guilt is an emotion, then her guilt towards Xi Zirong has reached an overwhelming level.

Meeting her was the worst thing that ever happened to Xi Zirong.

Zhou Mochen and Shen Chen watched quietly, standing behind her and behind them, observing their beloved woman exchanging vows with another man for the next life.

The two men, who were always so domineering and absolute in their power, and who had always seized things by trickery and force, both looked more pained than the other.

Xu Su was completely unaware. She held Xi Zirong and cried until she lost her voice and had no strength left. Before she fainted, she vaguely felt that Zhou Mochen had forcibly taken her away from Xi Zirong's embrace.

With her last ounce of strength, she gripped Zhou Mochen's arm: "Please...please save him!"

The sounds of hurried footsteps and car engines filled her ears. After catching Zhou Mochen's promise, Xu Su's tense consciousness relaxed, and she gradually succumbed to darkness.

The abandoned factory and dark rooms were suddenly empty, leaving only the stench of blood on the ground, a sight that inspired fear.

Shen Chen sat in the passenger seat, his leg wound unattended, his face pale as he stared intently at the black Cayenne in front of him, his heart seemingly about to stop beating ever since Xu Su was shot.

It was like being struck by a heavy object, as if the whole thing was about to explode.

If anyone dared to stare at Shen Chen for more than three seconds, they would see that he was so flustered that his jaw was trembling.

It's okay... She injured her lower back, there's no danger to her life there.

He did nothing wrong, he did nothing wrong…

If he doesn't do this, he won't have any chance at all; he'll only get rejected and hurt by her again and again.

Shen Chen clenched his fists tightly. He was right!

As long as Xi Zirong doesn't die, she won't look at anyone else.

Only if Xi Zirong dies, at Zhou Mochen's hands, and both men leave, will he have a chance.

He wouldn't do anything wrong for that one chance!

Shen Chen looked down at the bloodstains on his hands, which he had gotten while fighting with Zhou Mochen over the person.

Her…

She was shot because of his despicable actions.

His fate is unknown...

Is that really true...?

A mournful cry escaped Shen Chen's throat as he covered his eyes and wept bitterly.

What should he do? What should he do if something happens to her?

…………

Outside the emergency room, Shen Chen waited in a wheelchair, while Zhou Mochen squatted unceremoniously against the wall.

The two brothers, who had grown up together and were once as close as siblings, and had also been at each other's throats, now stared intently at the door of the emergency room, not looking at each other.

As soon as the lights went out to read "Under Rescue Operation," Zhou Mochen abruptly stood up.

"how is she?"

"The surgery went smoothly," the senior doctor who led the way said in a calm and concise voice. "The bullet was successfully removed, and the patient is out of danger. He is currently unconscious due to excessive blood loss and will wake up by tomorrow at the latest."

Both men visibly relaxed.

At this moment, the hospital bed was pushed out of the emergency room, and Zhou Mochen strode over and followed the bed into the room.

I'll wake up tomorrow...

Shen Chen slowly loosened his clenched fist and pushed himself into the ward.

Zhou Mochen ignored him, staring at the girl on the bed with lingering fear in his eyes. After a long while, he pressed a kiss to her forehead with trembling lips.

He'll never dare to do it again, he'll never dare to do it again...

He was terrified, if…

If something happens to her, how will he live...?

Zhou Mochen tiptoed onto the bed, avoiding Xu Su's wounds, and pulled her into his arms. He pressed his lips to her ear and kissed her repeatedly, like a criminal who had survived a catastrophe, expressing his gratitude.

The scene was deeply moving.

Shen Chen sat quietly in his wheelchair, watching, unsure whether he or she was more pathetic.
