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

Chapter 241 You're Thinking

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."

"..."

"Lin Jiashu was very sad and asked you who he was." Cong Shuang said while imitating, "You said, 'This is my brother's friend.'"

"Lin Jiashu believed it and continued to be devoted to you." Cong Shuang clicked her tongue twice. "Your ambiguous partner was pointing fingers and yelling at him! But he thought your ambiguous partner—"

Qin Zhao chuckled: "The term 'ambiguous partner' sounds strange. Just call him Princess Shen."

"Huh?" Cong Shuang blinked. "What kind of fun is this?"

"..."

"You still say you two have nothing to do with each other!" Cong Shuang pointed at her, with a look that said, "You've got me figured it out."

Qin Zhao said gently, "I just wanted to make it easier for you to tell your story."

Shuang hummed twice, then asked curiously, "Why do you call him Princess Shen?"

"A handsome guy who's almost 1.9 meters tall, and he's called Princess?" She had an expression that said something in words but couldn't quite put her finger on it, her eyebrows dancing. "You like that kind of guy?"

"..."

“She was originally a princess.” Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes. “Then you can call her A, B, C, or D.”

“ABCD,” Shuang chuckled, “Let’s still call her Princess Shen.”

"Where were we?" She clapped her hands. "Right! Lin Jiashu thought Princess Shen was just your brother's friend, and you treated him like a brother. So he put up with it."

"Lin Jiashu wanted to try again and confess his feelings to you once more." He spoke in a dramatic, storytelling style, "but you rejected him without hesitation, and he was even insulted by Princess Shen."

"The result, the result!" Cong Shuang shook his head, "but it turns out that you two had been secretly having an affair all along, pui, that's not the right word."

"We've long been in love!"

"..."

"Let's keep our affair secret."

"Anyway!" Cong Shuang said in a serious, heartbroken, and expressionless manner, "He saw you two kissing."

"..."

"..."

He stopped abruptly: "So, did you two really kiss?"

"..."

From Shuang: "Is his kissing skill good?"

"..."

Qin Zhao's fingers curled slightly as he fiddled with his book: "How could he possibly have seen that?"

"How would I know? Nobody told me... So you two really kissed!" Shuang's voice suddenly rose, and she jumped up from her chair.

"..."

Qin Zhao glanced at her.

Her voice softened, her eyes darted around, and she added uncertainly, "Did you?"

Qin Zhao: "And then?"

From Shuang: "..."

"Then he realized he'd been completely fooled by you all along." He picked up a ping-pong ball from his hands and put it to his nose. "He's a clown."

Qin Zhao: "He would still think that way?"

"I'm not him." Cong Shuang shrugged. "Who knows?"

"What did you say? Heartbroken and devastated?" She admitted that she had embellished the version she heard, after all, she was definitely on Qin Zhao's side. "And, it is said that your relationship has been very, very tense lately."

"It's not quite tense enough, but it's certainly not a good situation." Qin Zhao's voice was calm.

Shuang exclaimed, "Then what exactly happened? The rumors are so detailed and convincing!"

Qin Zhao herself had not heard of this rumor. She lowered her eyelashes and said, "I don't know."

"He did confess, and I rejected him." Qin Zhao felt that he had done a decent job. The first rejection was tactful, and the second was straightforward, but he didn't embarrass him in front of outsiders.

She briefly recounted what happened.

"Is this guy really that petty?" Cong Shuang frowned. "Nine times out of ten, it was him who spread the rumor and pretended to be the victim."

Lin Jiashu has already changed from Lin Jiashu to that man in Shuang's mouth.

She was disgusted and didn't want to bring it up again, so she asked gossipily, "What's your relationship with Princess Shen now? Don't tell me you're my brother's friend."

Her face clearly said, "I'm not easily fooled." Qin Zhao ran his fingers along the spine of the book twice, his voice very soft: "Friends, perhaps?"

"A friend accompanying me to class? A friend carrying my backpack?" she exclaimed excitedly. "Why can't I have a friend like that!"

She said, "This is more prestigious than having a boyfriend, isn't it!"

"..."

She remembered something and hesitated for a moment: "Actually, there's an even more outrageous rumor."

Qin Zhao: "What?"

His face showed distress, and after a moment of mental preparation, he finally spoke: "It's just that Princess Shen has a girlfriend, and you were after her money, so... you dumped Lin Jiashu, who was no longer of any use to you..."

She didn't finish her sentence; it was too harsh.

They knew a little about Qin Zhao's family, though not the specifics, but they were sure they were very wealthy.

When school started, her mother gave each of her roommates a set of high-end skincare products and an unopened mobile phone worth tens of thousands of yuan, asking them to take good care of Qin Zhao.

Her mother's social media posts and the places she frequents all seem very high-end.

She's just too low-key. She rarely wears clothes with obvious logos, and she eats in the cafeteria. She looks no different from an ordinary student.

Qin Zhao nodded: "Then it must have come from him."

"what?"

"It was passed down by Lin Jiashu."

"You're still analyzing this?" Cong Shuang said, both amused and exasperated. "This is so fake, it sounds obviously fake."

"He doesn't have a girlfriend, nor does he have anyone he's romantically involved with." Qin Zhao's expression was calm, and his eyebrows and eyes relaxed slightly.

Shuang realized she was talking about Princess Shen and winked at her, "So you can go!"

"..."

"Don't misunderstand," Cong Shuang interrupted, raising her hands. "I didn't mean 'up' in that sense."

"..."

No one misunderstood.

Qin Zhao: "I don't think you have any other intentions."

Cong Shuang: "Actually, it's not impossible."

"..."

Shuang analyzed seriously: "Princess Shen is handsome and has a good figure. I don't know if he has abs, but at least he looks good. It's not impossible for you to play around with him as a male model."

"..."

Qin Zhao's mind paused for a moment in a strange way; he did seem to be a male model after all.

From Shuang: "You're thinking."

Qin Zhao: "..."

She said, "It might have been possible before, but it probably won't be now."

Shuangyi was completely bewildered: "What does this mean?"

She went for the shocker: "He's already impotent?"

"..."

"No way, her nose looks pretty high."

Qin Zhao choked on his saliva: "Have you been reading novels from dawn till dusk lately?"

From Shuang: "Yes! I am!"

"..."

Cong Shuang couldn't hold back any longer, her face full of regret: "So he really can't do it?"

Otherwise, it would be a real waste of that face and figure.

Qin Zhao: "How would I know if it will work?"

She paused for a moment, but still kindly helped him salvage his reputation: "It should be okay."

"..."

　This is the episode where Xiao Yan's reputation has been most severely damaged so far.
