Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Xu Su, Are You Very Interested in Him?

Zhou Mochen, listening from the side, was stunned. He turned his head to look at her and suddenly realized the young woman was drunk.

’So… even when she’s drunk, she knows how much I like her?’

Xu Su was already half-drunk, and words she would never say while sober now came tumbling out. She stunned not only Zhou Mochen, the man in question, but even Shen Chen, who had asked the question.

’Shouldn’t a typical young woman blush and hide, too shy to admit it?’

’Why did this young woman answer with such confidence?’

Shen Chen looked at Xu Su, then back at Zhou Mochen…

’He wasn’t sure what Zhou Mochen had done to make this girl believe so firmly in his feelings for her.’

Xu Su’s mind wasn’t working right. Seeing Shen Chen’s stunned expression, she put down her glass of water and said to him very seriously, “Shen Chen, I just saw you kissing a woman. Where is she?”

Even for a thick-skinned, self-proclaimed playboy like Shen Chen, this question was uncharacteristically awkward. He pointed at Zhou Mochen beside Xu Su. “On your boyfriend’s orders, she left.”

Xu Su didn’t react to Shen Chen calling Zhou Mochen her boyfriend. Instead, she latched onto the end of his sentence and said scornfully, “So, one of the ’staff members’ from here again?”

The words “staff members” made Shen Chen freeze for a second before he understood. He couldn’t figure out why a girl he’d just met for the first time would keep pressing him on this issue.

’Where did that “again” come from?’

But seeing her scorn, he couldn’t help but retort, “What does a little girl like you know? Just drink your water.”

Xu Su’s brain was a complete mess, but her response to Shen Chen was surprisingly quick. “What do you mean, I don’t know? Can you even live without women?”

Those were some venomous words. In all his years, it was the first time anyone had dared to speak to Young Master Shen like that.

Xu Su wasn’t done. Seeing Shen Chen’s face darken, she kept running her mouth, “Shen Chen, aren’t you afraid of… kidney deficiency? At this rate, if you ever meet a girl you actually like, won’t you feel insecure? Won’t you feel filthy and unworthy of her?”

Rage boiled up inside Shen Chen, and he shot back, “Why do you care? It’s not like I’m ever going to like you.”

From Shen Chen’s perspective, Xu Su’s accusations were completely baffling.

But in Xu Su’s drunken mind, her past and present lives were starting to blur together.

In her past life, whenever she saw the utterly promiscuous Shen Chen, she couldn’t help but take a few jabs at him.

It was mainly because she felt it was unfair to her roommate, Shi Lin.

She didn’t have many friends, and the closest one was her college roommate, Shi Lin. But Shi Lin was ruined by that piece of trash. Shen Chen truly had a heart of stone; she’d never seen him treat any woman as special.

Forget falling for any girl; he could dump even the devoted Shi Lin without a second thought, showing no compassion whatsoever. He was simply invincible on his path through the world of romance.

The more Xu Su thought about it, the angrier she got. Hearing his words, she made an exaggerated gesture of rubbing goosebumps off her arms. “You like me? I’d be afraid of having nightmares. That’s disgusting.”

Fire blazed in Shen Chen’s eyes. Just as he was about to erupt, Zhou Mochen slammed his glass down on the table. He pointed to an empty seat on the side. “Go sit over there.”

“…” Shen Chen gritted his teeth. He finally understood why this young woman was so bold. With a boyfriend like Zhou Mochen—who put his woman before his friends—protecting her, of course she dared to raise hell.

Zhou Mochen’s expression was ugly. Fuming, Shen Chen shot one last glare at Xu Su and obediently scrambled away.

Xu Su wasn’t the least bit afraid of his glare and stared right back. The next second, her line of sight was blocked.

Zhou Mochen’s deep voice sounded. “Don’t look at other men. Xu Su, are you that interested in him?”

Xu Su pushed his hand away, a look of revulsion on her face. “Don’t be ridiculous. I could like anyone but Shen Chen.”

“But you two seemed to be hitting it off.”

You even got angry that he was with another woman.

Zhou Mochen’s face was grim as he watched Xu Su closely. “Don’t concern yourself with what other men are doing. It makes me unhappy.”

Xu Su was getting tired. “As far as I’m concerned, Shen Chen doesn’t even count as a man. Zhou Mochen, don’t tell me you’re jealous of *him*.”

“This is the first time you’ve met. Susu, why do you have such a strong opinion of him?”

Zhou Mochen believed he understood Xu Su quite well. She wasn’t the type to meddle in other people’s business at all, especially not a stranger she’d just met. Why would she care if he hired a hostess?

His reminder made something click in Xu Su’s muddled brain. She turned to stare at Zhou Mochen, her expression complicated. “Did you order one? I mean, one of the ’staff members’ here.”

’She couldn’t picture Zhou Mochen holding and kissing another woman. The image was just too jarring; even the thought of it felt absurd.’

Zhou Mochen froze for a moment, then broke into a smile. He leaned in close and whispered, “No. Xu Su, I’m staying completely clean for you, and even then you look down on me. How could I dare touch another woman?”

Xu Su pressed her lips together. ’She recalled that in her past life, this man had been a total female-repellent too.’

’At last, she’d found one good quality in him.’

’He upheld male chastity!’

’Compared to people like Shen Chen, Zhou Mochen was a breath of fresh air in their Beijing circle.’

Xu Su pouted, looking for trouble for no reason. “So, if I didn’t look down on you, you would have touched them? Zhou Mochen, you’re friends with guys like Shen Chen. I bet you’re not that ’clean’ yourself, are you?”

She remembered him saying he’d never even held a girl’s hand and found it hard to believe. In her past life, he’d had the air of a seasoned veteran, not at all like some innocent, pure-hearted guy.

His innocence misunderstood, the smile slowly faded from Zhou Mochen’s face. “Do you want to test it out? Susu, how about you test it and see?”

’Test what out?’

Xu Su’s mind couldn’t process it. Just then, she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket.

Zhou Mochen reacted quickly, taking the initiative to pull out her phone. The moment he saw the caller ID, his expression changed instantly. He tapped his finger lightly on the screen. “Xi Zirong. The top student in your year?”

The alcohol had gone to Xu Su’s head, so her first instinct wasn’t to panic. She took the phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, she started to get up, but Zhou Mochen pushed her back down by the shoulder. “Where are you going?”

Xu Su held up her phone. “I’m going to take his call.”

Zhou Mochen let out a soft laugh, his expression unreadable. He simply pulled her to her feet, and the two of them walked all the way outside the private room. “Go on, answer it.”

He took her phone and, without giving her a say, pressed the speakerphone button.

Xi Zirong’s voice came through. He asked from the other end of the line, “Did you make it home? Did you get carsick?”

The boy’s voice was gentle, which made Zhou Mochen’s expression turn incredibly dark. He looked at Xu Su, staring at her intently.

Zhou Mochen was holding her phone on speaker, and Xi Zirong’s voice was on the other end. At that point, any trace of drunkenness in Xu Su vanished completely.

A light sweat broke out on her forehead. She was already starting to worry if Xi Zirong’s family could withstand Zhou Mochen’s retaliation after her relationship with Xi Zirong was exposed.

’Could Zhou Mochen use his methods in the world of academia?’

Xu Su hadn’t said a word, and Xi Zirong on the other end sounded a little confused. “Susu, are you there?”

“I’m here, Xi Zirong. I’m almost home. Was there anything else?”
