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

Chapter 266

Qin Zhao's eyes flickered: "Do you have any experience?"

Shen Yanci: "I don't discuss my personal matters with my suitors."

Qin Zhao: "But I'm not chasing anyone else."

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly raised: "You mean you want me to teach you how to pursue me?"

Qin Zhao: "Is that alright?"

"..."

Shen Yanci: "Why don't I just give myself to you?"

As he finished speaking, his eyelids twitched, afraid that Qin Zhao would open her clear eyes again and ask him if it was okay.

He glanced at her and said, "With so many men pursuing me, am I supposed to teach them all one by one?"

Qin Zhao remained silent.

After a while, Shen Yanci turned on the car stereo, lowering the volume to dispel the stuffiness in the car without interfering with conversation.

Qin Zhao gripped his sleeve: "What kind do you like?"

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids: "Just two points."

Qin Zhao listened attentively.

Shen Yanci: "You like me."

"I like."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "So what kind of person do you like?"

Shen Yanci: "Those who like me, I like."

He looked at her, his eyes dark: "You have to really like her."

Light, cheerful music flowed out, and raindrops hit the glass, winding down the glass in streaks of water.

Qin Zhao: "Then I'm already satisfied with one thing."

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

The car drove smoothly and eventually stopped in front of her house.

The rain gradually subsided, pattering softly against the umbrella.

Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes and moved closer to him.

Her arm was touching his.

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids slightly and looked at her.

Qin Zhao, wearing his coat, looked even more rugged. She said, "The umbrella is too small; I'm afraid I'll get wet if I stay too far away."

"..."

The air was still a bit chilly, and the two people's arms brushed against each other intermittently through their coats, the heat source shifting between near and far.

But the road is already very long.

Qin Zhao wasn't in a hurry to go home. She glanced at him and said, "My birthday is the day after tomorrow."

Shen Yanci tapped the umbrella handle lightly with his fingertips: "Hmm."

Qin Zhao looked up at him and said, "Remember to come."

Shen Yanci pretended to think for two seconds: "Since you have feelings for me, wouldn't it cause a misunderstanding if I gave you a birthday present?"

"...No." Qin Zhao pursed his lips. "I know my own limitations very well."

A slight smile played on his lips as he said in a languid tone, "That's good."

Qin Zhao: "Would you like to have dinner at my house?"

"No, thank you." Shen Yanci said casually, "It's better for me to keep my distance from my suitors."

"..."

Shen Yanci turned and left with a cool and aloof demeanor.

He drove home, his heart belatedly slowing down.

He let out a soft chuckle, and then a smile spread across his face.

She wanted to pursue him.

She likes him.

I do like it to some extent.

The theme of Qin Zhao's birthday is finding treasure.

Based on Lin Shi's inspiration, Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng commissioned someone to design a large-scale event.

She and her friends hid gifts in various levels and worked together to complete the levels and win various gift prizes.

It was intellectually stimulating, physically demanding, and collaborative—in Lin Shi's words, it was like participating in a variety show.

Qin Zhao ultimately won a coffee shop, a set of jewelry, Lin Shi's new album, and a personal autograph.

"..."

Lin presented her with the album, saying, "Congratulations, you've won the grand prize!"

"My hug," he said, giving her a quick hug. "Happy birthday." "..." Qin Zhao smiled. "Thank you, brother."

Kuang Xu: "Low emotional intelligence, no gifts; high emotional intelligence, my hug."

"..."

The gifts piled up like a small mountain, but in the end, Lin Shi still gave her a pair of sunglasses.

During the gift-opening segment, Qin Zhao opened Shen Yanci's gift.

She glanced at him through the lamplight.

The box is small, about the size of a palm.

Kuang Xu raised an eyebrow at Shen Yanci: "Is it a necklace?"

Chen Yu: "A bracelet, I guess."

Qin Zhao opened the box, and inside lay a black rubber band.

"..."

Lin Shi gave Shen Yanci a questionable look, his response utterly perfunctory.

He glanced at him and grumbled, "You should at least send a few more to make it look more impressive."

The hair tie has a simple design: a black satin hair tie with a minimalist platinum clasp set in the center.

Qin Zhao put it on his wrist.

Under the crystal chandelier, the seemingly ordinary hair tie, with its black satin finish, gleamed with a subtle mother-of-pearl-like sheen, making her wrist appear even whiter and more slender.

As it turned, the platinum crescent moon shimmered with tiny starlight.

Jiang Man: "It suits you so well, Zhao Zhao, you look so beautiful."

Lin Shi didn't take it seriously; Qin Zhao could lose three rubber bands a day.

Qin Zhao looked up at Shen Yanci with a smile in her eyes: "Thank you. I like it very much."

Kuang Xu, always eager for drama, asked, "So, do you prefer this or the sunglasses?"

"..."

"Nonsense," Lin Shi snorted. "He definitely likes sunglasses; they're custom-made."

He said, "These are not on the same level."

"I like them all." The hair tie slipped into her sleeve with a movement. "I like all the gifts."

Lin Shi spoke up like an older brother, "That's right, we're not picky. Everyone can give me and my sister gifts, whether it's something or not."

"..."

Kuang Xu: "Your skin is so thick it's bulletproof."

The group burst into laughter.

After unwrapping the gifts, we started playing games.

A cute pet version of Werewolf, just with a different name. The hunter is now a golden-haired guard, the detective cat is the seer, the rabbit is the witch, and the villagers are hamsters.

Those who receive the most votes and are the ones who get killed should learn from the roles they are portrayed as, for example, werewolves should learn to howl like wolves.

In the end, only Shen Yanci, Qin Zhao, and Kuang Xu remained.

Kuang Xu: "Shen Yanci! It's definitely Shen Yanci. Qin Zhao, if you vote for him, you'll win."

Shen Yanci looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.

Qin Zhao: "Whom do you vote for?"

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly, his tone languid: "Kuang Xu."

Kuang Xu stood up: "See that! Lin Shi is a wolf, and so is he. I'm the rabbit, and I saved you with the antidote!"

Qin Zhao: "I will also submit to Kuang Xu."

"..."

Kuang Xu almost pinched his philtrum. He was wearing a bunny ear headband, hands on his hips, and snorted, "I'm just a cute little bunny~ You'll regret this."

Lin Shi: "The chef is eating spicy rabbit heads now."

Qin Zhao couldn't stop laughing.

When the game was declared over, Lin Shi, Shen Yanci, and Qin Zhao did not say anything.

When the parrot (the host) announces the werewolf's victory.

Kuang Xu stood up and scoffed, "I told you I was a good person, Shen Yanci is a wolf!"

Lin Shi, the near-werewolf, stood up and opened his arms to Shen Yanci.

Kuang Xu sighed: "I knew it."

The next second, Lin Shi turned a corner and hugged Qin Zhao.

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Brother Kuang Xu, my brother and I are werewolves."

"..."

Lin Shi smiled triumphantly: "I already told you Shen Yanci isn't a werewolf."
