Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 114 Didn't you say you wanted to see me?

Qin Zhao blinked and sighed: "I meant your body temperature. Do you have a fever?"

Shen Yanci looked sickly, his arm draped over his forehead, his face bruised and purple, his eyes staring straight at her with accusation: "So what if I have a fever? You don't care about me."

"..."

"I haven't abandoned you." Qin Zhao's voice softened as she gripped the edge of the pillow. "I'm concerned about you right now."

Shen Yanci looked at her, remained silent for two seconds, and then said, "Qin Zhao, do you know what you look like right now?"

"what?"

"A scumbag who only talks the talk online."

"..."

His gaze remained fixed on her face, and the screen magnified his face, making it seem as if he were right next to her.

He made his accusations, but his tone was not harsh; it sounded alluring and tender in the night, like... a young couple whining.

Qin Zhao found the atmosphere strange. First, she wasn't a man, so she couldn't be a "scumbag." Second, was calling her relationship with Shen Yanci a "scumbag" inappropriate?
She didn't cheat on him.

“Brother Yan Ci”.

"Ok?"

"Don't just browse the internet halfway through," she corrected, her words always causing misunderstandings.

Just like last time when they insisted on comparing their relationship to the CP that Jiang Man shipped, these are completely different things.

Qin Zhao steered the conversation back to the main point: "Did you take your temperature?"

Shen Yanci: "No."

"You need to take your measurements."

"I want to move."

"Where's Lin Shi? Let him measure for you."

"gone back."

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "Why wasn't he with you?"

She shrunk the video to a smaller window, intending to send Lin Shi a WeChat message.

Shen Yanci lifted her eyelids: "What do I need him to do with me? He can't be of any use."

"He'll sleep with you," Qin Zhao said without looking up. "If you get a fever, he'll take you to the hospital immediately."

"Then why didn't you come?"

Qin Zhao paused in typing, lowered his eyelids, and said, "I can't carry you."

She said, "I just texted Lin Shi and asked him to take your temperature. I'll have him take care of you tonight."

"Are you sure he's taking care of me?" Shen Yanci asked in a strange tone. "He snores and grinds his teeth, so I can't sleep well, and my injuries will only get worse."

"..."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids: "Then what should we do?"

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids slightly: "You're keeping me company."

"..."

Qin Zhao remained silent for two seconds before Shen Yanci's eyes darkened. "Fine, I won't force you. It's just a fever at most, I won't die. You should stay away from me, so I don't cause you any trouble."

"..."

His feigned retreat put Qin Zhao in a lot of turmoil. She clutched her clothes and muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid you'll regret it."

If Shen Yanci found out she was a girl, he would be so embarrassed.

"Can we video chat?" Qin Zhao looked at him. "We won't hang up. If you need anything, you can call me anytime, and I can check on your status."

Don't hang up the phone.

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "Playing all night?"

Qin Zhao added, "If it's inconvenient for you, that's fine. I'll keep my phone on, so you can call me if there are any problems—"

"Okay." Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids to look at her, "Let's video chat all night."

"..."

Is it a problem with the phone screen?
She felt that Shen Yanci's gaze had a kind of obscure aggression, making the air itself feel hotter.

She pursed her lips: "Go take your temperature."

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement, then walked around with her phone to get the thermometer.

The image became somewhat shaky, shifting focus from his Adam's apple to his jawline, then his chest, and finally back to his profile.

Qin Zhao suddenly realized that the act of video chatting itself seemed rather ambiguous.

She suddenly felt a dry mouth. She turned her phone towards the ceiling.

"37 degrees 1."

"Qin Zhao?"

Qin Zhao raised his voice and then picked up his phone again.

Shen Yanci shrugged, looking rather unhappy: "Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"

"..."

Shen Yanci should perhaps learn some Chinese.

Why did you say something that could be misunderstood?

Or is she hiding something and being too sensitive?

Qin Zhao felt like hundreds of comments were scrolling through her mind. She moved her lips and said, "I'm checking. 37.1 degrees Celsius, which is normal. I just dropped my phone because I wasn't holding it properly."

After she finished speaking, she felt that she had made a pointless explanation. Why did she have to explain?

Her mind was in turmoil: "Let's leave it at that for now."

"What do you mean, 'that's it for now'?" Shen Yanci laughed in exasperation. "Who said we'd be video chatting all night?"

"..."

"Didn't you say you didn't have a fever?"

"Who knows if it will develop a fever later."

Shen Yanci tossed the thermometer aside: "Forget it, I knew you didn't really care about me. Hang up, I won't bother you anymore."

He was saying this while holding his phone up to his face.

He looked hurt.

Shen Yanci is very different.

Shen Yanci waited for a while, but didn't hear anything, so he finally frowned and looked at the screen.

He saw Qin Zhaoqing's clear eyes looking at him intently, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Why aren't you hanging up?"

"Then I'll hang up now."

"..."

Qin Zhao ultimately did not hang up the phone.

Lin Shi's voice came very faintly, and Qin Zhao casually said, "Lin Shi is home."

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "Did you call him 'brother' today?"

"How did you know?"

Of course, it was that idiot Lin Shi who said it—

"I never expected Qin Zhao to be my fan. She even came up with fan support messages for me. She missed me so much after just a few days that she cried! I never imagined I held such a high place in her heart. Sigh, I'm just too charming."

Guess what? She called me "brother" today! She was so well-behaved! I almost hallucinated, thinking I had a little sister.

You know how wild she was at first, even whistling at me like a rascal. I'm a little unaccustomed to her suddenly being so well-behaved; she's just not as masculine as I thought. I'll have to cultivate her more. A man should be more masculine.

Shen Yanci narrowed his eyes and glanced at her: "Why do you call him brother?"

Qin Zhao said slowly, "That's who he always was."

"..."

She felt that Lin Shi was actually alright: "He even bought me a lot of gifts."

Shen Yanci looked at her with his dark eyes, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "I also bought you a lot of gifts."

That's why she initially wanted Shen Yanci to be her brother.

Qin Zhao looked at him and hesitated before asking, "You don't want me to pay you back, do you?"

"..."

Seeing Shen Yanci's speechless look, Qin Zhao shrank back guiltily: "Then what do you mean?"

Shen Yanci didn't beat around the bush with her: "Why did you call him 'brother'?"

"I was just shouting normally."

“Okay, that’s how you call him.” Qin Zhao then imitated Li Kui’s rough voice when calling Song Jiang, “Brother.”

"..."

Seeing Shen Yanci's indescribable expression, she added, "Lin Shi likes to shout like that."

"..."
