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

Chapter 178 Why are you so stubborn?

She added, "You can just wake me up."

"I'm going home first."

Shen Yanci calmly stated, "You slept for five hours and 13 minutes."

Qin Zhao paused for a moment.

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "What do you do after saying goodnight every day?"

Shen Yanci looked at her: "Don't tell me your dark circles are from sleeping too much."

Qin Zhao lowered his head, a tired dark circle under his eyes, and his jawline appeared even thinner: "Write the questions."

“You…” Shen Yanci sighed, “You don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. With your current English level, you can easily get an IELTS score of 7 or higher.”

"I did not take the IELTS test."

The air inside the car became quiet.

Qin Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he never looked at him. His voice was very soft: "I'm working on my college entrance exam questions."

Shen Yanci's hand throbbed with a vein. After a couple of seconds, he scoffed, "Why are you writing college entrance exam questions? Even if you want to know, you don't have to make yourself so tired. You don't have to take the college entrance exam."

He spoke quickly, with a hint of panicked mockery.

"maybe."

Her tone was as casual as could be, but her strength was like a heavy hammer coming straight at you.

Shen Yanci stared at her for two seconds, then his tone turned indifferent: "What do you mean?"

"Mom said she'll arrange for me to visit some universities in China in a few days so I can compare them and then make a choice." Qin Zhao lowered her eyes, as if talking about today's weather. "It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know."

"What are you going to tell me? Now that things have come to this, you're hesitating! Are you going to wait a few more days before you decide to stand me up because you like the university in China? Or are you going to wait even longer before telling me that long-distance relationships are difficult and you want to break up with me?"

Shen Yanci's jaw was clenched, and he spoke rapidly: "The sudden loss of contact, the sudden coldness, is it Aunt Qin who wants you to experience the choice, or is it your own choice to experience it?"

"So I have no choice but to follow your path, is that it!" Qin Zhao finally looked at him, his eyes dry and cold.

“You know that’s not what I meant.” Shen Yanci’s eyes were dark. “Why do you suddenly want to consider another path? Don’t you find it strange? Who do you think I am? Or do you think that you can just give me a casual notice without considering my feelings at all!”

"I'm talking to you right now." Qin Zhao pursed his lips and softened his tone. "You have your life, and I have mine. We may live parallel lives, or we may intersect."

She paused for a moment: "Then we break up again. No one can be responsible for another person's life. I can't be responsible for your life, and you can't be responsible for mine."

"As long as we keep moving forward, we won't have any regrets."

"What a fine analogy of meeting and then parting, what a fine analogy of moving forward." Shen Yanci scoffed. "Why don't you just be more direct? What do you want to do? What do you want me to do!"

The atmosphere between the two was tense.

"I haven't figured out what I should do yet." Qin Zhao raised his eyes slightly. "Just keep moving forward."

She opened the car door: "Thank you for bringing me back."

Shen Yanci pursed her lips: "Qin Zhao, do you even have a heart?"

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then continued walking forward as if he hadn't heard.

"..."

Lin Shi stayed up late playing games yesterday and got up late, having brunch at home around 10 a.m.

He looked at Shen Yanci sitting to the side and asked, "Why are you sitting here if you're not going to eat?"

Shen Yanci: "What about her? Isn't she eating?"

she?
Lin Shi took a few seconds to react: "She's taking the IELTS exam today."

"She's taking the IELTS?"

"Yes, they left early this morning."

Shen Yanci jumped to his feet, took a few steps, then turned back: "Why does she suddenly want to take the college entrance exam?"

"The college entrance exam?" Lin Shi took a bite of his sandwich. "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Maybe she wants to be closer to home. It's foolish of her to take the college entrance exam, why suffer like that? Being far from home means freedom. She's still too young."

"gone."

"..."

Lin Shi watched Shen Yanci's hurried departure and cursed him, "He's crazy."

The weather has been mostly cloudy and cool these past few days, with a lingering drizzle and a bit muggy.

After leaving the examination hall, Qin Zhao took a stroll around F University.

The phone rang; it was Shen Yanci.

She answered the call.

Shen Yanci: "Where are you?" Qin Zhao: "Outside."

Shen Yanci: "The outside world is so big, where am I supposed to find you?"

He sighed: "If I find you, can you answer one of my questions? It has to be the truth."

Qin Zhao, holding his phone, said, "When did you become as bored as Lin Shi?"

"Yes, I'm just that bored. These past two days have been absolutely awful," Shen Yanci said with a self-deprecating laugh. "Will you allow that?"

Qin Zhao paused for half a second: "Ten minutes."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhao paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

People are mobile; you can't keep someone who wants to leave.

The tall sycamore branches intertwine, and light filters through the gaps. The asphalt road stretches straight ahead, narrowing in the field of vision until it finally focuses into a circle.

Five minutes passed.

Six minutes have passed.

Seven minutes have passed.

There are only two minutes left.

F University is so big, it's a miracle that Shen Yanci knew she was taking an exam there.

For a fleeting moment, she even worried that Shen Yanci might actually find her.

The second hand was spinning round and round.

Last 30 seconds.

Qin Zhao stopped in his tracks.

She looked towards the exam location, turned her head for a couple of seconds, and met those dark eyes.

The wind rustled the leaves, making their shadows on the ground sway.

Shen Yanci was standing about twenty meters behind her.

He strode towards her step by step, and when the second hand pointed to 55 on the last revolution, he stood in front of her.

He looked at her: "Aren't you going to keep going?"

Qin Zhao: "Let's go."

She turned around, but he pulled her back: "I've already found it."

Qin Zhao glanced at him a few times: "When did you find it?"

"If you keep going forward, I'll never find it."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and shifted his gaze.

Shen Yanci asked, word by word, "Why did you turn around?"

Qin Zhao: "I feel like someone is following us. Should we call the police?"

"..."

"You're quite security-conscious," Shen Yanci said calmly. "If I didn't contact you, would you never have contacted me?"

Qin Zhao raised his eyelids slightly, his silence seemingly conveying everything.

Shen Yanci pursed his lips and sighed, "You don't need to answer, I don't want to hear it."

He seemed a little angry after he finished speaking, and he let go of her hand.

He became even angrier when he saw that Qin Zhao didn't say anything.

After a while, he found an excuse for himself: "What are you doing at F University? Just experiencing the learning atmosphere of domestic universities?"

"Ah."

"Oh! Aren't you here to take the IELTS test?"

"You already know, why are you asking?"

Why take the IELTS test?

"The money has already been paid, why not take the test?"

"..."

Shen Yanci was furious with her: "Why are you so stubborn? Can't you say a single nice word?"

No, this is too slow, let's stop waiting.
