Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It-Chapter 140: If You Want to Anger Me to Death, You’re About to Succeed
The person on the other end paused for a moment. "It’s nothing. I’m just glad you got home safely. I was just worried you drank too much and might sleep past your stop."
Afraid that Xi Zirong might say something romantic, Xu Su quickly said, "If that’s all, I’m hanging up now."
The brief call ended, and Xu Su looked nervously at Zhou Mochen.
His face held the calm before the storm. The more furious he was, the calmer his expression became.
Xu Su knew him all too well.
This made her even more nervous.
Zhou Mochen stroked her slightly sweaty forehead, his voice gentle. "What are you afraid of?"
Xu Su shook her head. She clutched her phone and forced an unnatural smile. "I want to go home."
"Mm," Zhou Mochen nodded slowly. "You let this Xi Zirong call you Susu. Is there anything you’d like to explain to me?"
Xu Su lowered her head and said nothing. She really didn’t think she owed Zhou Mochen any explanation.
’When it comes down to it, Zhou Mochen is just one of my pursuers. What right does he have to demand an explanation?’
’It’s like he caught his girlfriend cheating.’
"You let him call you Susu." Zhou Mochen’s voice was low and slow, as if he were reasoning through a deduction, afraid of scaring her. "So, Xu Su, tell me, what is your relationship with him?"
He cupped her face firmly in his hands. Zhou Mochen’s gaze locked onto her eyes, as if trying to judge the truth of her next words.
Xu Su lowered her eyelids, avoiding his gaze. "Don’t you already know? He’s my classmate. All the classmates I’m close with call me Susu."
She tried to pry Zhou Mochen’s hands away, but as expected, it was useless.
Zhou Mochen leaned in closer, his eyes glinting with a cold light. "I remember telling you that this Xi Zirong likes you. I have a problem with that, so I told you to stay away from him. How have you gotten even closer now? Xu Su, what have you been doing just to spite me?"
Xu Su remained silent.
Zhou Mochen pressed his forehead against hers, his voice deceptively gentle. "Why did you change your phone? Answer me."
This interrogation was starting to annoy Xu Su, and her tone became impatient. "I wanted to change it, so I did. Zhou Mochen, you’re overstepping."
She had a moment of clarity. ’I’m already with Xi Zirong, and I can’t hide it for much longer anyway. So what if he finds out?’
Resigning herself to the worst, Xu Su shot back, "Do I have to stay away from whoever you tell me to? Zhou Mochen, you’re not the emperor. Is your word a royal decree?"
Her impatient tone actually seemed to improve Zhou Mochen’s mood.
Compared to the way she looked like she was facing a great enemy after the phone call, this reaction was much more normal.
Her earlier nervousness, that guilty look on her face, had made Zhou Mochen’s heart sink.
Kissing her forehead, Zhou Mochen softened his tone. "I’m afraid that you’ll do something I can’t accept just to spite me. Xu Su, no matter how wrong I was before, you can take all your anger out on me directly. Don’t use another man to make me angry. I can’t handle that."
With her face held in his hands, Xu Su couldn’t dodge the kiss on her brow. The hand clutching her phone trembled at his words. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
She forced herself to sound defiant. "You’re that afraid of me finding another man? Zhou Mochen, what would you do if I really did?"
A soft kiss landed on her eyelid. Zhou Mochen’s voice was tinged with a dangerous edge. "I don’t know what I would do. But Xu Su, don’t do this to me. Really. No matter how angry you are at me, don’t use another man to get to me."
Perhaps because Zhou Mochen’s voice was so cold, Xu Su’s heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but look up at him.
They were so close. Zhou Mochen’s lips had just been on her eye. When Xu Su suddenly looked up, her vision darkened as her lips brushed against his chin. Their noses touched, and both of them held their breath.
Immediately after, Zhou Mochen’s lips moved decisively downward, covering hers and beginning to grind against them slowly.
When Shen Chen came out, this was the scene that greeted him.
His Brother Zhou, who usually acted like a monk, was cupping the sharp-tongued young woman’s face, lost in a kiss. It was just... that young woman didn’t look like she was cooperating.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Afraid of being discovered, he quickly closed the door and vanished.
However, Xu Su, who hadn’t closed her eyes at all, saw him peek out.
Seeing Shen Chen, Xu Su’s struggles became even more frantic.
Pushed away, Zhou Mochen frowned and pulled back a little. His eyes were slightly red as he looked at Xu Su, launching a preemptive accusation. "Don’t be angry. You kissed me first this time. You know perfectly well I have so little willpower around you. I couldn’t help myself."
Xu Su shoved him away, then dejectedly cradled her head and slowly squatted down.
Her world was falling apart.
’Zhou Mochen kissed me again!’
’If Xi Zirong finds out, I can’t even imagine how angry he’ll be.’
Xu Su was furious!
Furious with herself.
At that thought, Xu Su pulled a tissue from her pocket and scrubbed fiercely at her lips. She used so much force that they turned red after just a few wipes.
Her arm was seized. Zhou Mochen, his face ashen, pulled her to her feet. "I’m not dirty, Xu Su. Why are you acting like this? Am I that disgusting to you?"
He was livid, pulling her into a death grip. "Xu Su, if you’re trying to anger me to death, you’re about to succeed."
No one could stand being so despised by the person they liked. After their only two kisses, she acted like she couldn’t wait to wipe away every trace.
Zhou Mochen could stand it even less. He liked her so much; when he kissed her, he just wanted to cradle her in his hands and protect her in his heart.
And what was the result? To be despised like this.
He gritted his teeth. "Xu Su, what is it about me you despise? How am I not good enough for you? What kind of man do you like? Have I been too good to you? Do you prefer them rough?"
Zhou Mochen’s lips descended again, but Xu Su shot her hand up to cover his mouth. Her eyes widened. "Stop going crazy! Think about what you promised me at Lakefront Park!"
Taking advantage of his momentary stupor, Xu Su pushed him further away. In a self-loathing voice, she said, "Zhou Mochen, I don’t despise you. I despise myself. I keep getting kissed by you for no reason. Can’t I just despise myself?!"
She truly did despise herself. Thinking of Xi Zirong, Xu Su clutched her head in frustration and squatted down again.
’Why am I still tangled up with Zhou Mochen? If Xi Zirong finds out, he’ll be so heartbroken.’
Xu Su didn’t even feel like she hated Zhou Mochen anymore. He was domineering and unreasonable, but in this life, he had actually shown her a degree of respect.
But now, they seemed to have reached a stalemate.
Xu Su shook her head, feeling a splitting headache coming on.
’How did it come to this?’
A shadow fell over her. Zhou Mochen had squatted down too. He reached out and ruffled Xu Su’s hair. His anger seemed to have mostly subsided. He sighed. "You despise yourself this much just from being kissed by me? Susu, you’re making me feel especially awful."
His voice was laced with frustration. He touched Xu Su’s cold cheek, then reached out to pull her up. "It’s cold out here. Let’s go inside."
As soon as they were back in the private room, Xu Su, already mired in self-loathing, grabbed a bottle of red wine that had been opened but was still full. She pulled out the cork, tilted her head back, and started chugging it straight from the bottle.
