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

Chapter 267 Can I give the lemon back to you?

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

Kuang Xuqi laughed: "Okay."

He didn't really care: "I'm just too kind."

Jiang Man didn't expect it to be Qin Zhao either, and exclaimed, "Zhao Zhao, you lied to me so badly."

Chen Yu: "Evil siblings."

Lin Shih: "The loser eats a lemon, and eats the whole lemon."

Several people wailed in pain.

Qin Zhao looked at Shen Yanci, who was lying back lazily, his eyes sparkling.

She brought him a slice of lemon and said, "Eat some lemon."

Shen Yanci took it from her, raised an eyebrow at her, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Is this how you pursue people?"

Qin Zhao's eyes were clear and shallow: "I have always been protecting you."

“My brother wanted to kill you, so I chose to commit suicide.”

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "I should thank you."

"You're welcome." Qin Zhao looked at him and said softly, "It was my own choice."

The area over there is already sour and nauseating.

Every now and then, a few gasps could be heard.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he handed her the lemon: "Then I'll give you a chance to eat this lemon for me."

"..."

Qin Zhao didn't even need to eat; his teeth felt sore.

She looked at Shen Yanci, who raised his chin slightly: "Want to eat?"

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then raised her hand and picked up a quarter of the lemon. She swallowed hard, closed her eyes, and stuffed the lemon into her mouth.

My teeth felt an instantaneous, electric-like tingling sensation, saliva kept flowing from my mouth, and the bitter taste of lemon seeds and sebum surged to the back of my tongue.

Qin Zhao's face scrunched up, he let out a sound, and his hands frantically scrambled in the air.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Shen Yanci through a misty haze.

Lin Shi: "Has Shen Yanci eaten?"

Qin Zhao held back her tears again. She said, "Brother, did Shen Yanci cut the lemon wrong? It's sweet."

"How is that possible?" Lin Shi didn't believe it. The lemons were all bought together and were the same variety, so how could they not be sour?

Shen Yanci looked at Qin Zhao, who had an innocent expression, raised her hand, took a piece, and put it in her mouth.

She took a bite without changing her expression, and even glanced at Lin Shi.

Kuang Xu: "I'm about to throw up my stomach acid, you can't serve different varieties."

Lin Shi asked suspiciously, "Really?"

When no one was looking, Chen Yu threw his lemon into the trash can.

Shen Yanci: I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky.

Lin Shi looked at him for two seconds, tasted a piece, and after a few seconds said, "Hey, you're really lucky."

Kuang Xu: "It's a conspiracy! Why is his sweet one?!"

Chen Yu: "I guess I was lucky. Maybe a lemon tree will produce a sweet king."

"There's such a saying?" Kuang Xu picked up the remaining piece and almost vomited as soon as he put it in his mouth.

I finished the last piece of lemon.

The expressions on the faces of several people began to break down and their defenses crumbled.

Qin Zhao drank water, Shen Yanci ate grapes, and Lin Shi hugged the trash can and vomited, creating chaos in an instant.

Chen Yu shook his head: "Sure enough, people are least afraid of hardship and fatigue when they are doing bad things."

"..."

When the time came, Lin Zheng and Qin Qiong pushed out the birthday cake.

The lights dimmed, and the "Happy Birthday" music started playing.

Qin Zhao wore a birthday hat and made a wish, the flickering light of the candles illuminating her face.

A black hair tie wrapped around her wrist was revealed, its platinum refracting tiny sparkles of light.

She blew out the candles and smiled at everyone present.

Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng were filled with emotion, their eyes glistening with tears.

Their situation is getting better and better.

The power of eye contact can sometimes be overwhelming; Qin Zhao can read the emotions in their eyes.

She smiled, suppressing the emotions in her eyes, and hugged Qin Qiong, saying, "Thank you, Mom."

"Thank you dad."

Lin Shi: "Thank you, the most handsome brother."

His joke made everyone laugh.

Qin Zhao: "Thank you, brother."

"thank you all."

"Happy birthday!" Shen Yanci led the applause, creating a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Qin Zhao looked at him and smiled.

She cut the cake and divided it among herself.

Finally, he cut a piece for Shen Yanci and sat down next to him.

The noise of people almost drowned out the music.

Qin Zhao sat quietly next to him, ready to eat the cake.

After cutting the cake, it was time to take photos.

Lin Shi pulled her over to take a picture. She glanced at Shen Yanci and was then pulled away by Lin Shi.

After the photo shoot, the birthday party also ended.

Qin Zhao and Lin Shi saw everyone off.

Jiang Man hugged Qin Zhao: "Happy birthday, Zhao Zhao."

Everyone else said it again before they left.

After seeing almost everyone off to their cars, Lin Shi received a work call.

He told Qin Zhao and went back to his room to answer the phone.

Only Shen Yanci remained beside him. Qin Zhao looked up at him, his eyes clear and bright.

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids and shifted his gaze: "I'm leaving."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "I helped you finish off 3 lemons."

Shen Yanci smiled faintly, his voice languid: "Oh, that's the basic quality of a suitor."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Don't I have any reward?"

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "What do you think?"

He looked down at her, the streetlight casting a hazy outline on his profile.

Qin Zhao blinked, his eyelashes casting a shadow under the light.

Her gaze fell on his lips: "Can I give the lemon back to you?"

The cicadas chirped incessantly throughout the summer.

Shen Yanci's gaze deepened slightly: "How will you repay it?"

"Spit it out?" His Adam's apple bobbed, his voice low and magnetic. "Or should I let you kiss me?"

"..."

His posture remained unchanged, but Qin Zhao's eyelashes fluttered and his lips parted slightly.

Their eyes met.

The night air had a humid, muggy feel.

"Qin Zhao——"

Lin Shi's loud, boisterous voice pierced through the sweltering air.

Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and responded with a soft "yes".

Lin Shi: "Why aren't you coming in yet?"

Qin Zhao: "Immediately."

Her face showed a hint of annoyance.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked into the distance.

The air was incredibly stuffy and hot.

Qin Zhao looked at him: "Can you return it tomorrow?"

"..."

Shen Yanci's eyes were incredibly dark as he stared intently at her: "What are you thinking about?"

"Eat me a lemon and I'll let you kiss me?" He scoffed. "Do you think I'm that easy to get?"

He glanced at her sideways: "There's a difference between pursuing someone and dating someone. You don't have that many privileges with me right now."

Qin Zhao reluctantly hummed in agreement, his expression less than pleasant: "Then I'll return it to you now."

Shen Yanci's throat tightened.

Qin Zhao took his hand and placed a lemon in his palm.

"..."

The cool touch of lemon still lingered on her fingertips.

Shen Yanci twitched his finger slightly, as if to say, "How about this?"

"..."

Qin Zhao looked up at him and said, "I think you're lemon-flavored, very fragrant."

"..."
