Chapter 257

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

Shen Yanci: "What?"

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

"Why don't you deny it?" Shen Yanci glanced at her. "You can speak English, can't you refute it?"

Qin Zhao looked at him and said, "He said I'm pretty."

"..."

Shen Yanci glanced at her, paused for a second on her lips, and lifted his eyelids slightly: "I think he's right."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes: "I have a gift for you."

Shen Yanci: "What?"

Qin Zhao: "Close your eyes."

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed, he raised an eyebrow, and said in a drawn-out tone, "You're not going to force a kiss on me here, are you?"

"..."

He glanced away, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with feigned difficulty, "Then it'll be hard for me to find a girlfriend in the future."

Qin Zhao: "Then you shouldn't look for it anymore."

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly, lowered his head, and looked at her with his dark eyes.

Qin Zhao curled his fingers slightly: "Your parents sent you here to study, not to date."

"..."

Shen Yanci: "Do you pretty hooligans need to use such high-sounding reasons before you smear someone's innocence?"

"..."

"Stop being so narcissistic."

Qin Zhao didn't make him close his eyes again. He went around to the back of the statue and picked up a flower from the lawn.

It was a bouquet of three white roses and jasmine leaves, tied with a moss-green ribbon.

She stopped in front of him and handed him the flowers: "Happy graduation."

Her face clearly showed that she knew she was judging others by her own petty standards.

A bustling crowd was not far away, with a large green lawn behind them.

Her clear, shallow eyes looked at him, who was wearing an academic gown.

The pure white roses unfold in layers, gleaming with an ivory luster in the sunlight, interspersed with verdant jasmine leaves, their subtle fragrance wafting through the air.

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids and looked up at her: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to reject you in front of so many people?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "What are you thinking? We couldn't find gardenias; florists who have them require advance booking. We can only use white roses and jasmine leaves as substitutes. It's somewhat similar, isn't it?"

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids slightly: "Why did you want to give me gardenias?"

Qin Zhao: "Don't you like gardenias?"

Shen Yanci touched her fingertips, raised an eyebrow, and asked suspiciously, "You really don't have any other thoughts?"

"..."

"Don't stop, I'll give it to Kuang Xu." She said, starting to back away.

With his wrist grabbed and pulled forward, Qin Zhao stumbled forward, almost falling into his arms.

Then, her palm was suddenly empty, and Shen Yanci took the bouquet in her right hand: "Kuang Xu doesn't like this kind of flower."

They were standing a little close together.

Qin Zhao responded with an "oh," and, making conversation, asked, "So, which type does he like?"

Shen Yanci looked away, his expression blank: "Chrysanthemums."

Qin Zhao: "Cosmos? Or daisies?"

Shen Yanci: "Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum".

"..."

"He doesn't look like someone who would drink chrysanthemum tea."

Shen Yanci scoffed lightly, his jaw clenched: "Do I look like someone who knows what flowers he likes?"

"..." Qin Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to him. She glanced at the flowers in Shen Yanci's hand and said, "I'll take a Polaroid picture of you."

She took out her Polaroid camera from her bag.

When I returned, I saw two girls. One of them was also wearing the same dark academic gown as Oxford, but the cuffs and hood were a different color.

Why didn't you reply to my message?

The girl's voice was tinged with laughter.

Qin Zhao paused for a moment.

Shen Yanci: "I haven't been paying much attention to my phone."

"I knew you didn't hear me." Liang Shiyu smiled. "After graduation, Bian Lifei wanted to take a group photo with everyone who was taking graduation photos today. I just happened to be passing by here, so I asked you to join me in collecting photos."

As if sensing her gaze, Shen Yanci raised his eyes and looked at Qin Zhao: "Did you find the Polaroid?"

Liang Shiyu turned around and was stunned when she saw Qin Zhao.

Her gaze swept subtly between her and Shen Yanci, a smile playing on her lips: "This one looks rather familiar..."

She exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Qin Zhao and asked, "You're Yan Ci's friend's sister, right? Is your brother here too?"

Qin Zhao: "He didn't come."

Liang Shiyu paused for a moment, then teased, "I remember you used to dislike Yan Ci quite a bit, so why are you willing to be his free labor now?"

Shen Yanci pressed the corners of his lips down slightly.

Qin Zhao glanced at the girl next to her: "Are you treating your friend as free labor?"

The air fell silent for a moment. Liang Shiyu said, "Of course not, I was just joking."

Qin Zhao: "I was just joking too."

"..."

She looked at Shen Yanci: "Are you still going to take pictures or not?"

Shen Yanci pointed to the rose stem: "Tap."

Liang Shiyu said, "Zhaozhao, could you take a picture of me and Yanci?"

"sure."

Qin Zhao spoke calmly.

Liang Shiyu was stunned for a moment.

Qin Zhao: "2 pounds each, how many do you want?"

Liang Shiyu's friend glanced at her and said, "You charge me for taking a picture?"

“Yes, 200 pounds apiece.” Qin Zhao looked at her, his eyes completely innocent. “Didn’t Liang Shiyu give it to you?”

"..."

Liang Shiyu: "We are best friends, which is probably different from your relationship with Yanci."

Qin Zhao nodded and hummed in agreement: "Maybe, after all, I'm not free labor."

"..."

Liang Shiyu and her friend had a subtle expression on their faces.

“200 pounds a piece.” Liang Shiyu smiled meaningfully, looking down at him. “Yan Ci is just…”

Qin Zhao looked at Shen Yanci: "She's insulting you. She said you're stupid."

"..."

Liang Shiyu: "No, I was just saying that Yanci is very generous to his friends."

Qin Zhao: "What a sucker."

"..."

Shen Yanci grabbed Qin Zhao's wrist and pulled him towards it: "You've already paid, so why aren't you focusing on taking pictures of me?"

He didn't look at Liang Shiyu: "You guys go ahead and film, no need to wait for me."

Qin Zhao was pulled along for a distance by him: "Why are you pulling and tugging at me? Be careful you don't end up not finding a girlfriend."

Shen Yanci stopped and glanced down at her: "Jealous?"

He released her hand, his meaning ambiguous: "I told you, many people are pursuing me."
