Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It Chapter 71 - 70: Xu Su, Are You Trying to Piss Me Off?

Xu Su’s eyes flew wide. ’Seriously?’

"What kind of nice things do you want to hear?"

Zhou Mochen didn’t answer.

Xu Su grew anxious. ’He’s not going to use this as an excuse to rush over to Chang City overnight, is he?’

The ti hit 11:59 PM.

Xu Su gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Zhou Mochen, you’re very good-looking. Really handso."

On the other end of the line, Zhou Mochen was stunned for a mont, then let out a soft chuckle. He finally understood what it felt like to be burning with rage one second and ecstatic the next.

"So, do you like it? My face, I an."

’So he’s been placated.’

Xu Su pouted, took off her jacket, and lay down. "If you stop acting crazy all the ti, I might like you."

In her past life, Xu Su had actually been stunned by his appearance when she first t him.

He was a young man as cool and distant as the moon. Even ignoring his powerful aura, his outstanding looks alone were enough to draw everyone’s gaze the mont he stood sowhere, without him needing to say a single word.

However, Xu Su’s admiration was the kind one has for a beautiful object, which wasn’t the kind of feedback Zhou Mochen wanted.

Later on, that sense of wonder had been completely worn away, forgotten in the depths of her mory.

Being told he was acting crazy didn’t seem to anger Zhou Mochen. In a negotiating tone, he asked, "Xu Su, how about I co back to Chang City tomorrow?"

This love-crazed behavior, as if he couldn’t stand being away for even a few days, left Xu Su speechless.

’It’s not like they were even dating.’

The ti ticked over to 12:00 AM.

Xu Su changed the subject, saying softly, "Zhou Mochen, Happy New Year."

The girl’s sweet, innocent voice traveled through the phone, making Zhou Mochen’s heart suddenly lt. Thinking back on his mood throughout the day, his eyes almost welled up. "Xu Su, please just hurry up and fall for , okay? Stop stringing along, really."

His voice once again held that tone of aggrieved pain.

Xu Su almost started to wonder if she had really done sothing wrong, if she had truly hurt this man who seed so indestructible.

She could reject Xi Zirong cleanly and decisively, but she couldn’t do the sa to Zhou Mochen, which already felt unfair to her.

And now, he was using this wounded tone, turning things around to accuse her with his own aggrieved act?

Perhaps because she couldn’t bear it, or for so other reason, Xu Su refrained from her usual sarcasm for once.

She spoke softly, utterly bewildered. "Zhou Mochen, do you really like that much?"

She had asked him this question in her past life, too, but she had been asking the thirty-year-old version of him.

’How did Zhou Mochen answer back then?’

Oh, right. The Zhou Mochen of that ti hadn’t answered, perhaps because he saw the mockery in her eyes as she asked.

Zhou Mochen had rely swept his gaze over her, then left for the office without a word.

But now, the twenty-two-year-old Zhou Mochen on the other end of the line said, "I do. I like you so much I want to put you in my pocket and hide you away. Xu Su, you have to be nicer to , you know?"

’Liking her so much that he’s riddled with anxiety, wishing he could carry her with him at all tis and take her out for a look every now and then... would that ease his insecurity?’

Xu Su’s breath hitched. She couldn’t describe how she felt as scenes from her past life flashed through her mind.

’Hide her away...’

Zhou Mochen’s voice was low. "Xu Su, I want to see you. I’m coming back to Chang City tomorrow."

"..." Xu Su clutched her phone, slowly exhaling. "Zhou Mochen, wait for for two years. I’ll give you an answer then. Don’t push so hard. Just let think."

Zhou Mochen on the other end of the line sounded like he couldn’t wait a second longer. "Think about what? Xu Su, am I that terrible? Does it take two years of thinking to like ?"

Xu Su fell silent.

’Was it because she felt wronged by her parents tonight? Why was she finding it so hard to be cruel, whether to Xi Zirong or to Zhou Mochen?’

When she remained silent for too long, Zhou Mochen couldn’t help but say, "Xu Su, say sothing. Don’t ignore ."

"..." She had no idea how Zhou Mochen had gotten so clingy. ’Her past-life version of him wasn’t like this.’

’Or was it that his initial taciturn deanor was an act, and his later cold, tyrannical behavior was an act too? All to hide this Attribute of being unable to live without her?’

’Is this love-crazed Zhou Mochen, who goes crazy if he doesn’t see her for a few days, the real him?’

Xu Su felt a little helpless. If that was really the case, then all she could say was that the past-life Zhou Mochen got what he deserved. He was clearly a diehard, love-crazed fool, yet instead of properly coaxing the girl he liked, he had to resort to taking her by force.

"Zhou Mochen, if you’re not willing to wait two years, then what do you want from ? To be with you right now? Have you forgotten how old I am?"

The other end of the line went quiet for a mont. Zhou Mochen’s voice was a bit hoarse. "After two years, you’ll be with ? Xu Su, give a straight answer."

"...Plans can’t keep up with changes..." ’This guy really doesn’t make a losing deal,’ Xu Su pouted and said tentatively, "What if, in these two years, I fall for..."

"Think carefully before you speak." Zhou Mochen’s voice instantly turned icy, a sinister undercurrent beneath its calm surface. "Xu Su, think carefully before you speak."

’Fine.’ Xu Su imdiately shut her mouth.

’This guy... he’s already got that unhinged psycho vibe from her past life.’

Zhou Mochen felt a surge of rage rush to his brain, almost shattering his sanity, all because of her "what if."

"Xu Su, don’t ever bring up hypotheticals like that again. Whether you’re being spoiled and willful or sarcastic and cold, you can only direct it at . If you dare to like soone else, I guarantee you won’t want to know the consequences for that person."

Reason told Xu Su to drop the topic right there, but she was truly indignant. By what right could this man control soone else’s life and decisions?

"...Don’t you think you’re being completely unreasonable? Just because you like , I have to like you back? Can’t I like soone my own age? Zhou Mochen, you’re so much older than . I don’t like guys who are too old."

His voice suddenly beca extrely calm. "So there really is soone? Soone your age, from your school? Xu Su, why don’t you tell ? Who have you fallen for? Who is it that I’ve lost to?"

He said, "What do you like about him? I’m not a stupid man. Aside from my age, which I can’t change, I guarantee I can make you satisfied with everything else."

Even though Xu Su was snuggled in her blanket, a chill ran through her, making her body go rigid. She steadied herself before saying, "There’s no one. I’m not as love-crazed as you, thinking about romance all day long. Zhou Mochen, stop being a psycho."

His voice wavered slightly on the other end. "Really, no one?"

Xu Su was getting annoyed. "No, no, there’s really no one! I was just making a hypothetical, do you understand hypothetical? You’re five years older than , can’t I like a boy my own age?"

Towards the end, Xu Su started to feel wronged. In her past life, she had no choice but to be with him, and now in this life, she was getting entangled with him again.

If it were just about dating, that would be one thing. It would only be a waste of a few years to let him get his wish, sothing Xu Su could reluctantly manage.

But she knew how obsessive he was; he would never let go of her easily!

In the end, she felt wronged, but Zhou Mochen sounded even more so. "You think I’m too old? Xu Su, are you trying to kill with anger?"
