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

Chapter 240 Are you trying to hook me?

Qin Zhao: "Even when you're busy, you should take a good rest."

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his arm rested on his forehead, and his dark eyes shone with a faint light, making him look inexplicably pitiful.

He lifted his eyelids slightly, his voice lazily rising in a joking tone: "Concerned about me?"

He couldn't see her face, only the familiar trees and path, and the sound of her footsteps.

When he wanted to change the subject
I heard a very soft "hmm".

"I care about you."

The playful expression on Shen Yanci's face faded. He lowered his eyelids slightly and smiled, "Trying to hook me?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Are you that easy to catch?"

Shen Yanci raised an eyelid, his voice slightly hoarse and lazy: "Did I say you caught one?"

Qin Zhao said calmly, "Did I say I was trying to hook you?"

"..."

The camera shook, and Shen Yanci's face appeared out of the frame as he coughed.

Qin Zhao: "You have a cold?"

Shen Yanci: "No."

Qin Zhao walked forward, his voice slightly breathless: "You're not a fish, and I'm not that free."

I didn't use you as bait.

It just means I care about you.

Shen Yanci felt a slight itch on his chest, as if a feather had brushed against it.

Qin Zhao was trying to lure him in.

His fingers curled up, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"

Qin Zhao pursed his lips: "When you get old, I'll sell you health supplements."

"..."

He paused for a moment, then let out a few low laughs: "Okay."

There was a moment of silence on both sides.

Qin Zhao: "Are you still watching?"

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement.

Qin Zhao: "I can't see your face anymore."

Shen Yanci: "You want to see me."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "No one in the video seems to find it a bit strange."

His face reappeared on the screen: "My video is also a bit strange."

Qin Zhao: "There's nobody here right now."

She paused on the screen for a moment, then looked at the gardener pruning branches in the distant trees: "Can you see that?"

"..."

Shen Yanci laughed in exasperation: "Can't you just turn on the front camera?"

The camera wobbled, then focused on the road ahead.

"..."

The next second, the camera flipped, and her face appeared on the screen.

She lifted her eyelids and met his eyes.

Qin Zhao paused for a moment: "If we use a front-facing camera, it seems like it will block the lens."

She's all over the screen, blocking the view.

She stretched her arm forward.

“That’s acceptable,” Shen Yanci stopped him.

“You were already in the rose garden,” he said softly. “You weren’t blocking the camera.”

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids slightly: "It's too strange that there's no one in the video."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes and stretched his arm forward to widen the field of view for the camera.

Maintaining one pose was a bit tiring, so Qin Zhao withdrew his arm and turned the front camera to shoot backward, leaving only one ear in the frame: "We'll be at your house soon."

After walking for a while, Qin Zhao arrived at the intersection where Shen Yanci's house was located: "It's just ahead."

Upon arriving at Shen Yanci's house, Qin Zhao flipped the camera up to show Shen Yanci's villa: "We're at your house—"

Shen Yanci lay face down on the pillow, his eyelids drooping, his breathing even and long.

He didn't know when he fell asleep.

"..."

Qin Zhao scoffed, "He's just playing with her."

She said she was going to watch the house, but when they got there, he fell asleep. She wanted to make a sound to scare him.

He opened his mouth but then saw the dark circles under his eyes and held it back.

She pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "Something's wrong with you."

It's a little past 9 a.m. in China, which is around 2 a.m. in the UK.

His dark eyelashes drooped, and his face showed signs of fatigue.

Qin Zhao watched as the person on the screen twitched their eyelids, then lifted them, revealing deep creases. A slight smile played on their lips, and their voice was low and husky: "Scold me."

Qin Zhao looked away: "You're not asleep?"

Shen Yanci's eyelids drooped: "Asleep."

"..."

I could still hear it even when I was asleep.

"I woke up again because I was afraid you would scold me."

"..."

He turned over, his Adam's apple bobbing with each breath.

Qin Zhao: "Hang up."

I'll send you the video later.

"Thank you, Zhaozhao."

He squinted, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice sounding more like an unconscious murmur before falling asleep.

In spring, the leaves are all green and full of life, and the branches and leaves rustle in the wind.

Qin Zhao hung up the phone and sent him a video of their villa.

Shen Yanci's gardenia buds had a hint of white on their green color.

When Qin Zhao returned to the dormitory to change his textbooks, he looked at her with a hesitant expression.

Qin Zhao: "What's wrong?"

He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her: "I have something to tell you, but please don't be angry."

The word "don't" is sometimes used to imply that something will definitely happen.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and looked at her.

He tentatively asked, "What's your relationship like with your minister?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids: "So-so."

She pursed her lips: "I'll just be frank with you."

"There are rumors that you played with his feelings for the sake of academic credits and being an outstanding student council member."

"..."

Looking at Qin Zhao, whose expression remained unchanged, Shuang asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why get angry over something that sounds fake?" Qin Zhao retorted.

Shuang was stunned for a moment.

The points awarded to the student council are fixed. Unless the performance is particularly poor, some points will be deducted when the next level scores. Basically, everyone gets the full 2 ​​points in the scoring process.

Putting aside whether Qin Zhao could do it or not, this whole thing was unnecessary.

She was instantly convinced, but then she remembered her friend's words: "But some people believe it."

She sighed, "Although I also find it a bit ridiculous, the rumors are quite detailed and convincing."

Qin Zhao raised his eyelids slightly.

He pulled the chair closer and said, "You didn't initially take a leave of absence, but you joined the student council in the middle. Then Lin Jiashu took you under his wing."

"They said that you were trying to get close to Lin Jiashu in order to integrate and catch up on your credits as quickly as possible." Shuang's words were relatively mild; some people were much harsher: "He helped you secure your position."

"..."

From Shuang: "Later, because of your advances towards him, he felt that you were interested in him, and he also had feelings for you and showed you his affections, and then you accepted."

With your guidance, he confessed his feelings to you, and you accepted.

"He nominated you as an outstanding student council member." From Shuang, "But after you were selected, he turned his back on you."

"..."

"You're actually flirting with someone else."

"..."

"I didn't accept his confession." Qin Zhao didn't bother to argue. "Everyone else in the department knows that."

"Do you know what one version says?"

"What did you say?"

"He said he confessed his feelings to you, but you didn't accept. He thought his approach was wrong, so he apologized." Shuang found this hilarious. "After apologizing, he found out you were flirting with other guys—"

She paused for a moment, then raised her hand to speak: "By the way, this other boy seems to be the handsome guy who accompanied you to class."

"..."

　Princess Shen: Ambiguous? With me? That would be wonderful!
