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

“…Otherwise what?” Xu Su, taking advantage of his grip, looked up and kissed his chin, coaxing him, “Xi Zirong in this world has nothing to do with me, don’t go crazy, Zhou Mochen.”

"No connection? If there's no connection, why are you searching for his information?" Zhou Mochen's eyes were stained with savage red, and the words squeezed out from between his teeth seemed to be ground up, carrying a bloody taste: "Want to rekindle our past relationship?"

His state should have been frightening, but Xu Su could clearly see the panic in his eyes; he was the one who was most afraid.

Regardless of which world Zhou Mochen was in, he was terrified that Xu Su didn't want him.

This realization caused Xu Su a pang of pain in her heart, and a little crybaby from another world flashed before her eyes.

In the days since she returned, perhaps because she was away from all the turmoil, Xu Su was able to calm down and recall everything that had happened between them.

Just thinking about that voice message, about Zhou Mochen hearing it under those circumstances, and truly hearing her say she wanted Xi Zirong…

He had misunderstood many times, thinking that she had slept with Xi Zirong...

That audio recording was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Ultimately, she bears a great deal of responsibility for his madness.

Why didn't you explain properly? Why did you deliberately tease him, saying you'd tasted Xi Zirong...?

Feeling nauseous from the tightness in her chest, Xu Su took a deep breath, sat on Zhou Mochen's lap, cupped his face in her hands, and said earnestly, "I don't want to continue our past relationship. I only want you, Zhou Mochen. I only want you."

She regretted provoking Xi Zirong terribly. How could she possibly bother him when he had already achieved great success and perhaps... had a happy marriage?

The moment she sat down, Zhou Mochen decisively put his hands around her waist and hugged her, lifting her skirt with his hands...

"Speak," he said, his head resting on the woman's neck and shoulder, his fingers still moving. After a while, he tilted his head and whispered in her ear, his voice filled with hostility, "How far have things progressed between you two?"

“…Don’t do this.” Xu Su gripped his arm, moving it helplessly. “If we’re going to talk… let’s talk properly…”

At this moment, she said she was sitting on his lap.

Actually... it's no different from sitting on his hand.

How can you bully people like this?

Zhou Mochen held her waist with one hand to prevent her from running away, and with the other hand...

Since he didn't have any spare hands, he tilted his head and leaned closer, his scarlet eyes locking onto her. "Kiss me now..."

"..." Xu Su held his arm, tears welling up in her eyes. When she met his almost boiling gaze, she was slightly taken aback, and then obediently kissed his lips.

After the kiss ended, Xu Su could only lean on his shoulder and hum softly.

Zhou Mochen's fingertips moved more slowly and deliberately. "Tell me, in that world, how far have things progressed between you and Xi Zirong?"

"You've never gone this far before!" Lingering in this awkward position, Xu Su's voice was tinged with unsatisfied frustration. The hands around his neck tightened, and she said, "Do you think everyone is like you, so lustful!"

"He doesn't value desires?" Zhou Mochen scoffed, pressing his fingertips against his lips. "Answer my question directly."

Xu Su couldn't help but groan. Her knees, which were kneeling beside his waist, trembled slightly. Seeing that he was finally willing to free his hands, her eyelashes fluttered, and she said, "We just held hands."

His fingers looked like they'd been soaked in water. Zhou Mochen stared at them quietly for a while, unsure whether he believed it or not, and then began to unzip his pants…

Xu Su crawled down, her legs trembling: "No! I'll confess, I'll confess everything!"

"We kissed, that's all, really!" With her waist held tightly, unable to escape, Xu Su cried out, "This isn't fair! We already..."

Her knees were trembling. Zhou Mochen stopped unbuttoning his pants, reached out and grasped her knee joints, gently massaging them while glancing at her: "Tell the truth, have you slept with her?"

"No!" Xu Su held up three fingers and asked him seriously, "What kind of swear do I have to make for you to believe me?"

After staring intently at her for a long time, the crimson in Zhou Mochen's eyes slowly faded, and he asked again, "What about me in that world? Did I sleep with him?"

"..." Xu Su paused, then looked into the man's eyes, which were like a lie detector, and simply asked, "Do you really think you can let me go?"

“In that world, we met when we were sixteen. At first, I wanted to avoid you, but you were so persistent. You were both pitiful and infuriating. Plus, I saw your miserable state in my dream and was moved, so I couldn’t bear to torment you.”

Zhou Mochen let out a cold laugh: "So, you slept with him?"

"That's you too!" Xu Su was scared of him, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, shaking. "I only did it because I felt sorry for you and couldn't bear to torment him anymore. Don't be jealous of yourself."

"That's not me!"

With his chin lifted, Zhou Mochen's eyes were stubborn and serious. "Xu Su, remember this well. I only have one person, and that is the man in front of you. As for the Zhou Mochen in the other world, I do not recognize him as me."

Different life trajectories, different memories... While he waited hopelessly in this world, she was in another world dating and sleeping with 'Zhou Mochen'.

She felt soft-hearted towards him, felt sorry for him, and liked him wholeheartedly...

It's absurd that she claims she feels sorry for him and can't bear to torment another man.

Zhou Mochen never imagined that such an absurd thing would happen to him.

He suffered all the sins, while all the benefits went to his 'self' in another world?

Xu Su was stunned by the seriousness in his eyes. After a long while, she nodded solemnly: "I also figured it out later. You are not the same person. Otherwise, I would have taken my anger out on you."

If Xu Su hadn't known that Zhou Mochen from the two worlds were different, she probably would still have avoided him like the plague after he returned.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Mochen was truly stunned by these words.

After all that suffering, he finally gained some of her affection, but it was all taken advantage of by her. And now, she's doing something wrong that almost made him the target of her anger.

Xu Su also felt that it was quite unfair, but thinking of Zhou Mochen from that world, she was still angry and frustrated, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you think I came back! I was sent back by a bullet from you in that world! After I woke up, I was able to convince myself not to take my anger out on you, which is already enough to treat the two of you separately."

"He shot you?" Zhou Mochen's pupils suddenly dilated: "Impossible!"

He said he didn't believe it, but his hand gripped Xu Su's shoulder as he looked at her body and limbs. "Where did the bullet get in?"

His voice was filled with lingering fear, terrified that he might bring back lasting health problems.

"Here it is."

Xu Su held his hand and touched her lower back, where it was smooth and delicate, without a single scar.

Zhou Mochen gently stroked it for a while, then bent down to examine it closely, pressing it slightly. "Does it hurt?"

"..." Xu Su was speechless. "Of course it doesn't hurt. Zhou Mochen from that world shot Xu Su's body from that world. This body of mine has been lying under your nose for four months without going anywhere. How could I possibly be injured?"
