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

Chapter 256 I Don't Sell Myself
The lion does not open its mouth.

Shen Yanci laughed in exasperation. He was putting on such a show that he thought she was going to ask for something extraordinary.

His heart rate reached 140, but she forced it to stop abruptly.

He glanced at her and said, "How about I give you air instead?"

"..."

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "Are you having such a hard time right now?"

"..."

After Shen Yanci came back, he would ask her to treat him to meals every few days, and she would actually pay for them.

Shen Yanci's tone was enigmatic: "Yes, he's looking for a rich woman to keep him."

Qin Zhao glanced at him twice: "Do I count?"

"..."

Shen Yanci scoffed, "Sorry, I'm not considering someone as unstable as you."

Qin Zhao replied calmly, "My allowance is very stable."

"..."

You are unstable.

Qin Zhao: "Or you can grant me a wish."

Shen Yanci looked down at her and said, "You were willing to spend money just now, but now you don't want to spend any money at all?"

He stared at her and said, word by word, "I don't sell myself."

"..."

"I never said I wanted your body," Qin Zhao said. "What do you take me for?"

"The beautiful female hooligan who forcibly kissed me multiple times."

"..."

Qin Zhao was unsure whether to focus on the first half or the second half of the sentence.

"Then I don't want your gift." She twitched her fingers. "Are you coming?"

Shen Yanci looked at her for two seconds and said reservedly, "If you really want me to go, I'll consider it."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

When Shen Yanci escorted her to her room, he suddenly asked, "Qin Zhao, shouldn't you have your follow-up appointment?"

Qin Zhao froze, his body stiffening for a moment.

Shen Yanci: "You've been taking desensitization medication for so long, it's time for a follow-up appointment to readjust the prescription."

He asked, "Do you want to come to England with me?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yanci gave a self-deprecating smile.

Qin Zhao raised his eyelids slightly: "Then will you come back with me?"

"The graduation ceremony is over, there shouldn't be anything else."

Qin Zhao went to England with Shen Yanci.

When Lin Shi found out, he put his arm around Shen Yanci's shoulder like a brother before leaving, and asked him to take good care of Qin Zhao: "My sister is your sister, you must take good care of your sister."

"..."

Kuang Xu, standing to the side, glanced at the well-dressed Shen Yanci. He thought to himself that it would be better for him to take care of him than for Shen Yanci to do so.

At least he has a pure heart.

Lin Shi realized Shen Yanci's thoughts and felt like he wanted to strangle his current self.

The day before graduation, Shen Yanci's father had something to do and couldn't attend his graduation ceremony, leaving a guest spot available.

After he hung up the phone, his back looked somewhat forlorn.

Qin Zhao: "Can't your father go?"

Shen Yanci: "Yeah, I'm on a business trip and won't be back."

He squinted slightly: "The photographer we booked had something come up and can't come. We'll have to find someone else later."

Qin Zhao twitched his fingers: "I look pretty good in photos."

Shen Yanci's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it again.

He asked, "Can you take graduation photos?"

"Is there a difference?" Qin Zhao paused for a moment. "Are you talking about an individual photo or a group photo?"

She wouldn't dare accept a group photo.

Shen Yanci: "Of course, it's just me being filmed."

Qin Zhao said "Oh," and then added, "Then you can take pictures as you please."

She lowered her eyelashes, fidgeted with her fingers, and looked at him again.

Shen Yanci thought for a few seconds, seemingly considering the feasibility of the idea: "Do you have time?"

Qin Zhao: "Okay."

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow.

Qin Zhao: "Would 200 pounds a note be okay?" "..."

Oxford's graduation ceremony begins at 1 p.m., and the dress code is very strict, requiring students to wear subfusc (formal academic attire).

In addition to the gown and cap, both male and female students should wear formal attire underneath. Male students should wear white shirts and dark suits.

Even the color white has requirements.

Qin Zhao: "As expected."

Shen Yanci: "Do you find it rigid?"

Qin Zhao: "The older a place is, the more traditional it is."

Shen Yanci was wearing Subfusc, and people on the street would always say "congratulations" when they met him.

When they passed the Bridge of Sighs, Qin Zhao took a picture of his back.

The ceremony was held at the Sheldon Theatre, and guests and graduates entered separately. Shen Yanci told her it might be a little boring.

When you're bored, just look for him in the crowd.

"..."

Accompanied by organ music, the emcee, holding a scepter, led the school's senior officials into the venue.

Only graduates are entering.

Dark-colored clothing has its advantages; from above, it appears as a dark mass, conveying a sense of solemnity.

Qin Zhao searched for Shen Yanci's shadow in the darkness.

It took me five minutes to finally meet his gaze from a great distance.

She froze for a moment.

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow and gave a peace sign.

Qin Zhao took a few pictures of him with his camera.

Shen Yanci was right; the ceremony was indeed very boring.

The executive principal gave a brief introduction in English and announced the start of the ceremony, after which the language switched to Latin.

Qin Zhao couldn't understand a single word.

Her gaze shifted to Shen Yanci.

He turned his head slightly to look at the podium. His jawline was sharp, and his dark academic gown gave him an inexplicably ascetic air.

She took two more pictures.

She looked in the direction he was looking, then looked back, and their eyes met in the crowd.

Qin Zhao gripped the camera tightly with his fingers.

The degree conferment ceremony was also full of tradition, with senior academic wardens reading out the list of degree candidates, two academic wardens pacing around in front of professors and deans, and students taking an oath in Latin.

It has a distinct medieval feel.

But you can't look at it closely.

For example, the students' bowing movements were not synchronized, and some even couldn't suppress their laughter.

After the school ceremony, there was a buffet reception at the college, where the dean presented certificates and took photos with the students.

The ceremony is now officially complete.

A foreign guy asked Shen Yanci, "Is this your girlfriend? She's really beautiful."

Shen Yanci didn't deny it, and the young man said enthusiastically, "I'll take your picture."

Qin Zhao stood next to Shen Yanci, smiling as she looked at the camera.

Young man: "Closer."

He said to Shen Yanci, "You can put your arm around her shoulder."

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids and looked down at her.

The young man smiled and shook his head; he was being too reserved.

With no weight on his shoulders, Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and was about to speak when he said, "This is how you take a picture."

Shen Yanci put his arm around her shoulder and looked straight ahead.

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The lawn is lush and green, with a tall, ancient building in the background and a bronze statue next to it.

The young man took photos for them, repeatedly saying how great it was.

Shen Yanci thanked him, and the two chatted for a few more minutes. The young man wished them a good time and waved goodbye to Qin Zhao before leaving.

Qin Zhao: "Why didn't you deny it just now?"

Shen Yanci: "What?"

Qin Zhao: "He said I'm your girlfriend."

Shen Yanci: "Why don't you deny it?"

　I overestimated myself. I've had a fever for the past few days. I thought I could finish writing yesterday, but I couldn't keep up. I only managed to write 800 words in 2 hours.

　　The doctor said I tested positive. I never thought I'd hear that word again after 25 years. Everyone, please take precautions!
