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

After recounting her absurd and bizarre 'rebirth' experience, Xu Su wrapped her arms around Zhou Mochen's neck and leaned closer in a straddling position: "I've been wanting to ask you this for the past few days: how could you have done something like giving me 200,000 yuan and sleeping with me back then? That was so humiliating."

If he were only after her lover, Xu Su wouldn't have uttered a single complaint.

It's obvious that he wants her feelings more than the person herself, so how could he allow them to have a 'transaction'-like beginning?

Zhou Mochen was slightly taken aback, and remained silent for a long time, his expression unreadable. However, he tightened his grip on her.

"Tell me," Xu Su said, making a guess, "Afraid I'll be kidnapped?...Xi Zirong?"

However, she had no memory of Xi Zirong at all.

“I didn’t mean to humiliate you,” Zhou Mochen looked at her, his lips moved, and said, “If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t want me.”

???

"So certain?" Xu Su raised an eyebrow, looked up and kissed him, asking, "When did you come up with this experience?"

She was genuinely curious about what he had experienced in his 'past life' that made him so certain that she wouldn't want him.

How much did they dislike him to make him so insecure?

Considering this man's domineering nature, what if he really resorts to force and coercion after she and Xi Zirong have fallen in love...

Given her temper, she certainly wouldn't let him have an easy time.

Zhou Mochen clearly had no intention of telling her the details, and instead of answering, he asked, "Tell me, why were you afraid when you saw Shen Chen last time?"

"...I'm not afraid!" Thinking of Shen Chen from another world, who was practically insane compared to Zhou Mochen, Xu Su curled her lip and said speechlessly, "Would you believe me if I said he's a lunatic?"

In his presence, Xu Su always spoke her mind, saying without any reservations, "When he goes crazy, he's even scarier than you."

Speaking of which, could it be that Shen Chen in this world also harbors ill intentions towards her?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Shen Chen was already thirty-four years old, and not only was he unmarried, he didn't even have a woman by his side whose name he could name.

Whether he was a playboy or not, Xu Su hadn't paid attention and wasn't very clear, but... from what she knew, Shen Chen had indeed changed a lot since their first meeting.

Although he had already guessed it, upon hearing her words, Zhou Mochen's aura visibly dropped. He slightly twitched his lips and asked, "Tell me, how exactly did he go crazy?"

"He..." Xu Su began to speak, but stopped herself in her tracks, saying cautiously, "It's nothing."

"That's a matter for another world. Don't cause him any trouble; it's not good to create unnecessary complications."

“Explain things clearly, and I’ll think about it,” Zhou Mochen said expressionlessly, pressing her for an answer. “If you don’t tell me, I can’t guarantee what I might think myself.”

She couldn't help but think about how crazy Shen Chen had become, to the point that she was afraid of him.

The mere thought caused Zhou Mochen's emotions to surge. He tried his best to control his tone and coaxed, "Su Su, listen to me and tell me what he did to you?"

"...I didn't do anything, don't overthink it. I don't like him anyway," Xu Su said helplessly, recounting the things Shen Chen had done, omitting some details. Looking into those eyes that seemed to see through her, she gradually felt guilty.

Zhou Mochen could easily tell that he couldn't even lie. He didn't press him further, but instead cursed him with a livid face, "Useless."

Xu Su: "..."

Is it really okay to be so self-critical?

…………

Zhou Mochen didn't sleep well that night. Xu Su had to kiss him every now and then, like coaxing a child, to calm him down.

When Xu Su woke up the next day, she found something familiar on her neck.

The Buddhist prayer beads that she had carelessly tossed away in another world returned to her neck.

“Keep this bead with you and don’t take it off,” Zhou Mochen said, standing by the bedside. He looked tired and looked at her quietly for a while before suddenly bending down and pressing her against the bed to kiss her. “Su Su, you can’t leave me again.”

Xu Su wrapped her arms around his neck and honestly promised, "...Okay, I'll never leave your side."

She couldn't bear to leave him either. She had tormented this man for so long; it was time for him to have a good life.

I've heard that love is about constantly feeling indebted, and that's probably her current state.

She always felt she should make it up to him, even though she couldn't say what she owed him.

Xu Su's method of compensation was simple: Zhou Mochen had power, influence, and wealth, and lacked nothing.

Then let's compensate him.

Ever since setting a precedent in the lounge, Xu Su's favorite thing to do is tease him in various situations.

After a few times, Xu Su found that teasing this stagnant old man was more interesting than teasing the twenty-something Zhou Mochen.

Imagine this: a man who is usually very serious and rarely smiles, is made to lose control of his facial expressions by you. He is clearly furious, but he still obediently lets you bully him.

For example, right now, in the back seat of the extended Bentley, Xu Su started bullying people as soon as he got in the car.

She straddled Zhou Mochen's lap, slowly pulling his shirt out of his pants, and unceremoniously reached in to stroke his abs.

She smiled and kissed his chin, then pinched his taut muscles with satisfaction, praising, "Not bad, your muscles are firmer now, not so rough to the touch."

Sure enough, with the right foundation, it's still possible to have a baby with some care.

Zhou Mochen narrowed his eyes, breathing slightly heavily, and said, "Be good, don't make a fuss in the car, we'll be home soon."

That's what he said, but he didn't even try to stop the little hands that were messing around on her body, and instead cooperated by holding her waist.

Xu Su saw it all clearly and secretly laughed at his hypocrisy.

Without saying a word, she raised her hand and unbuttoned his shirt one button at a time. His skin was fair, and there were still obvious marks she had left on his chest last night.

Xu Su scanned him inch by inch, then smiled and kissed him.

Bullying someone can be addictive, especially bullying a man who lets her have whatever she wants.

As his hand reached down to the hidden buckle of the belt, he was stopped.

Zhou Mochen grasped her hand, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said in a hoarse voice, "Not here..."

The driver is in front of a partition, and outside the privacy glass, cars and people can be seen everywhere; they will be home soon.

It's definitely not a good time to take your pants off.

Distracted, Xu Su snorted and pouted, "You're getting shy now? I've never seen you embarrassed about this before."

Zhou Mochen: "..."

Xu Su continued rambling, "You didn't hold back at all when you were bullying me, now it's my turn to bully you..."

"Go ahead and touch me!" Zhou Mochen glared at her, gritted his teeth, unbuckled his belt, grabbed her hand, and interrupted her fiercely, "What's there to be ashamed of? If you want to, then go ahead."

"..." The commotion under his palm made Xu Su swallow hard.

The two stared at each other in silence for a while, then Xu Su cleared her throat and tentatively asked, "Then... should I go for it?"
