Chapter 201 Shen Yanci

"Go to hell." Lin Shi snorted. "You guys used to be such good friends! We were best buddies, have you forgotten?"

Qin Zhao felt a little stifled: "Brother."

Lin Shi let out a sound of surprise.

"I'm a little hungry, I'll head back now."

Shen Yanci curled his fingers.

“It’ll take you more than an hour to get back,” Lin Shi said, looking at Shen Yanci. “Is there anything to eat?”

Shen Yanci's eyelids were half closed. After two seconds, he said in a neutral tone, "Bread, fruit, steak."

"..."

Lin Shi: "Which one do you want to eat?"

Qin Zhao: "I want to eat."

The chef will come at a set time to cook, but it's not time to cook yet.

The blue veins on the back of Shen Yanci's hand rippled: "Only bread."

Qin Zhao: "You just said there was steak."

Shen Yanci: "Go and fry it yourself."

The two stared at each other, seemingly locked in a stalemate.

Lin Shi: "Do you guys eat barbecue? I brought you a gift bag with barbecue sauce, it's absolutely authentic."

A few minutes later, the three of them stood in the restaurant.

The refrigerator is fully stocked with ingredients, and there's an oven; all I need to do is prepare the ingredients.

By the time we actually started eating, it was almost lunchtime.

Shen Yanci took a piece of bread from the bread counter and ate it slowly.

It smells very sweet, with the aroma of bread and butter perfectly filling the air.

Qin Zhao was genuinely hungry now.

She glanced at the bread display case but couldn't find the one Shen Yanci had eaten, so she ended up just taking a croissant.

The silhouettes of the three people were reflected in the glass window, and the empty villa seemed to suddenly come alive with life.

The aroma of roasted meat gradually wafted out.

Qin Zhao's face flushed slightly. Lin Shi said, "Aren't you hot? You're not even taking off your coat."

He thought of something: "Shen Yanci, could you lend Qin Zhao a thinner coat?"

Shen Yanci's expression was inscrutable.

Qin Zhao knew he meant no: "It's okay, I'm not hot."

"What do you mean you're not hot? Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom."
-
Your face is as red as a monkey on Mount Emei.
-
It looks great, it's beautiful, I really like it.
-
Please kiss me a little longer.

……

Lin Shi didn't notice the change in atmosphere: "Shen Yanci, get one for her."

"Didn't you hear? She doesn't want it." Shen Yanci's brows furrowed, a hint of self-mocking indifference in his eyes. "Why would I go out of my way to pursue her?"

Lin Shi felt something was off: "Why are you so angry?"

Qin Zhao cracked his knuckles: "Then I'll take it."

The meat sizzled and released its oil, splattering tiny bubbles, while snow began to fall outside the window.

Shen Yanci looked at her with his dark eyes: "You think I have to give it to you just because you want it?"

“Ber, it’s just a jacket.” Lin Shi put down the clip.

He frowned at Shen Yanci, "Why are you being so stingy?"

"Never mind, Qin Zhao, you can wear mine." He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Qin Zhao: "It's alright, there's some in the car, I'll go get it."

Shen Yanci's lips were straight, and his eyelids were half closed: "The wardrobe is upstairs. Go get it yourself if you want it."

Qin Zhao looked up at him.

He took a sip of juice as if nothing had happened.

Upstairs was quiet. Qin Zhao accidentally went to the bedroom, which had a very masculine style. The bathroom only had one person's toiletries.

She took a casual jacket from the hanger and changed out of her cashmere coat.

As she left, Shen Yanci, his fingers still gripping his cup, glanced at her briefly before lowering his gaze again.

The snow is getting heavier.

They stayed.

The second day's breakfast was dry toast with coffee.

Qin Zhao wanted to go back to the hotel.

On the third day, we had fried eggs and sausages.

The snow melted quickly, and they spent the day exploring Oxford.

I went back in the afternoon; Lin Shi needed to record a video.

Qin Zhao kept sneezing and had a runny nose with clear mucus. His throat was also itchy, and his eyes were red. Lin Shi asked, "You don't have the flu, do you?"

Qin Zhao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, then sneezed, his nose turning red from being wiped.

Lin Shi: "Let's go, I'll go to the hospital with you."

Qin Zhao: "Weren't you going to record a video?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Qin Zhao put on his coat when Lin Shi's phone rang.

"Yours is the only one missing; you have to send it to me today."

"Isn't there still two days until Lunar New Year's Eve?"

"Don't editing, post-production, and promotion take time?"

I'll send it to you tonight.

“What are you doing now?” the agent sighed. “You’ve only just become a little popular and you’re already putting on airs, aren’t you? Everyone’s waiting for you. And the TV series we talked about, Linda’s already unhappy, and you’re causing trouble at this crucial moment.”

"My sister is sick, so I'm taking her to the hospital."

"Can't someone else take her?"

"No."

Seeing that his agent was about to lose his temper, Qin Zhao said, "It's okay, I can go by myself."

“No,” Lin Shi disagreed. “Or you can wait a while, and John will go with you.”

Qin Zhao sneezed again. His agent asked him a few questions and reminded Lin Shi not to get infected, as he had events planned after the New Year.

Qin Zhao felt a burning sensation in his eyes and shed a few tears.

Lin Shi started looking for the medicine box: "Have you seen the medicine box?"

"No."

Lin Shi called Shen Yanci.

Qin Zhao: "Is he in class?"

Just then, a cell phone rang from the doorway.

Lin Shi hung up the phone: "Where's your first-aid kit?"

Shen Yanci's gaze fell on Qin Zhao's face: "What's wrong?"

"The flu," Lin Shi said. "I guess he caught a cold while waiting for me outside that day."

"She has a stuffy nose, runny nose, and itchy throat. These are early symptoms. Let's give her some medicine first."

Qin Zhao's nose and eyes were a little red, and he looked rather listless.

Shen Yanci: "Do you have a fever?"

Qin Zhao touched his forehead but couldn't feel anything: "It's not hot."

He picked up the car keys he had just put down: "To the hospital."

He called and made an appointment with the doctor.

Lin Shi put Qin Zhao in the car and said, "I'm leaving her to you. She's your sister, so call me if you need anything."

"..."

Qin Zhao stared at the route ahead, and as he stared, tears welled up in his eyes.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

His face was turned towards the window.

Shen Yanci glanced at her, his lips flat: "You feel so wronged being in the same space as me? Then what are you doing here?"

"I'll leave right away, okay?" Qin Zhao was genuinely on the verge of tears this time.

The car braked suddenly and stopped at the side of the road. Shen Yanci's chest rose and fell slightly: "You really are still the same."

Before Qin Zhao could hear what he said clearly, he sneezed again and frantically reached for toilet paper.

She tried to touch it for a long time but couldn't find it. She didn't dare to move because she felt like she was about to have a runny nose, the kind that would start flowing as soon as she let out a sigh of relief.

"Give me a piece of paper."

"Shen Yanci".

She was a little anxious, and she covered her nose. Her voice was muffled and dragged out, carrying a kind of aggressive yet domineering tone that was both submissive and overbearing.

Shen Yanci glanced to the upper left, sighed, and took out two tissues, placing them in her palm.

Qin Zhao grabbed a tissue, but before he could wipe his nose, clear snot soaked through it.

She took out two more tissues and wiped away her tears.

She took a breath, exposing her face to the air.

Shen Yanci suddenly leaned down and turned her face around.
