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

Chapter 284 What are you trying to do by following me?

"Tell me the truth, how long have you two been together? Secretly having an affair!" She feigned seriousness, then slumped down, her face contorted with a mournful expression. "Or did you just kiss because you were drunk?"

They must not be like those around her who get drunk and confuse n and l.

"I—" Qin Zhao braced his fingertips against the wall behind him, his voice strained, "I'm pursuing him."

"!"

Jiang Man silently cursed, "Go ahead and chase after me!"

She lowered her voice consciously: "Are you pursuing Shen Yanci?"

Qin Zhao curled his fingers slightly and hummed in agreement.

"I thought he was the dominant one!" Jiang Man regretfully covered her head.

"..."

Realizing she had inadvertently revealed her true feelings, she quickly tried to smooth things over: "So, you confessed to him today and he said yes?"

"not yet."

"So how did you two kiss?" Jiang's eyes were full of gossip-loving excitement. "Who kissed whom first?"

Qin Zhao's mouth was getting dry from her questions, and he wanted to escape: "Let's go inside."

"Tell me about it." Jiang Man grabbed her to stop her from escaping and promised, "With so many years of experience shipping couples, I can help you analyze it."

Qin Zhao's lips moved slightly, and he raised his eyelids slightly: "Didn't you see it?"

“I only saw the second half.” She paused, “most likely the latter half.”

"..."

"I think I kissed him," Qin Zhao said, his face slightly flushed. "I can't remember."

"Not bad, Zhao Zhao. You look harmless, but you're still so fierce." Jiang Man glanced at her.

She asked, "When did you start pursuing me?"

"summer vacation."

"You've been chasing me for almost half a year!" Jiang Man exclaimed, "That's really slow."

She patted her on the shoulder: "It's time! You can confess today or tomorrow! Ask him why he kissed you! Your sister is here to help you with any advice you need."

"..."

She had no right to question him. Qin Zhao cracked his knuckles: "Isn't this too fast?"

During summer vacation, she asked him how long she wanted to pursue him, and Shen Yanci ignored her for two days.

He confessed his feelings less than a month after returning to China. Is there a high probability that he will be rejected?

"Love should happen swiftly, without warning! And it's been half a year already, how is that fast?" Jiang Man gestured, then paused, "Have you thought it through? Or are you just playing around and looking for someone to pursue?"

She's not without men around her who she'd just gotten to know and then quickly grew tired of.

Is six months enough?

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes and remained silent for a moment: "Will it work?"

"It's wrapped up!" Jiang Man was all too familiar with the way Shen Yanci looked at Qin Zhao; he practically wanted to devour her. He'd been looking at her like that back in high school!

If they can't do it, then none of her romantic partners can do it!

When Qin Zhao returned, he found someone playing a game in the room.

Kuang Xu was singing a song with great emotion, holding the microphone.

Shen Yanci leaned back on the sofa and glanced at her.

Jiang Man nudged her playfully and whispered a "good luck."

Qin Zhao calmly walked around the room, stopping occasionally, before sitting down next to him.

When Lin Shi saw her, he called out to her to play together, but she waved her hand and said, "I'm a little tired."

He didn't make things difficult for her and continued playing the board game.

She glanced at Shen Yanci: "Aren't you going to play either?"

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids briefly, and after two seconds, he hummed in agreement.

His expression showed a hint of weariness.

When Kuang Xu got tired of singing and saw the two of them sitting down, he handed them the microphone and requested a light and catchy love song.

He sat down on the other side of Shen Yanci, keeping his achievements hidden. He had sacrificed so much.

As the upbeat intro began, Qin Zhao started singing along.

When it came to the next part, Shen Yanci didn't raise the microphone, so she nudged him and said, "It's your turn."

Shen Yanci pursed his lips, raised the microphone, and began to sing.

Jiang Man took out her phone and quickly recorded a video of them.

During the chorus, male and female voices sang upbeat lyrics that sounded like vows. A few people looked up from their board games and glanced at the singing area. Kuang Xu shrugged his shoulders with a show of force. Yes, he was proof that Shen Yanci was getting increasingly stiff.

"..."

Lin Shi and Chen Yu, looking at their phones, scrunched up their faces: "That's outrageous!"

Lin Shi scratched his head, feeling like there was something he hadn't grasped.

When the song ended, Shen Yanci's tense jaw relaxed, and a slight smile even appeared on his lips.

Kuang Xu leaned closer: "Your throat must be burning, bro."

"..."

Lin Shi wanted to go to the restroom and asked Qin Zhao to go and relieve him.

Jiang Man leaned closer and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Trust me, it will definitely work."

Shen Yanci stared at Qin Zhao, who was whispering not far away, for two seconds, then lowered his eyelids.

Qin Zhao helped Lin Shi play for a while, and when he came back, he gave him his seat.

Lin Shi said he wanted to sing and told her to keep playing.

Qin Zhao played two rounds and then called him back.

A slightly melancholic and gentle guitar sound began to play.

Qin Zhao glanced at the screen; it read, "Fingerprint."

Shen Yanci sat on the sofa, the blue light falling on his face, making him look inexplicably sad.

A low, slightly husky voice rang out, breathy, as if narrating a sad story.

Restrained yet deeply affectionate.

Jiang Man: "Sure enough, melancholy is a powerful weapon, like someone who has suffered heartbreak."

Qin Zhao felt inexplicably sad upon hearing this.

Why should I ask again whether you are serious?

He lowered his eyelids, then opened them again, his dark eyes looking at her through the blue light, distant and indifferent yet with a hint of dejection, and he gave a self-deprecating smile.

Qin Zhao felt as if a stone was tied to her heart, pulling her downwards.

Lin Shi glanced at the utterly melancholy Shen Yanci and remarked, "He's been putting on an act even better than me all night."

Kuang Xu sighed as if he had been through it all: "Try to understand, people are like that at a certain stage."

Lin Shi: "What stage?"

Kuang Xu glanced at Qin Zhao, and in the end just patted Lin Shi on the shoulder; he couldn't say anything.

Anyway, one of you will definitely get hurt in the end.

After the last sound faded away, Qin Zhao seemed to come back to his senses and lowered his eyelids after a while.

Lin Shi's singing spirit was awakened by Shen Yanci. He switched to a sad love song, held up the microphone, and sang with a sorrowful face, occasionally performing a difficult vocal transition and clutching his chest.

Her eyebrows trembled as she looked at Shen Yanci.

Looking at Qin Zhao,

Looking at Kuang Xu,

He looked at Chen Yu.

"..."

Kuang Xu gave a thumbs up: "When it comes to showing off, Lin Shi is second to none in the world!"

Qin Zhao couldn't bear to watch.

When Shen Yanci went out, she followed him out.

Stepping out of the home theater, the air felt much fresher.

Shen Yanci turned a corner and stopped at the entrance of the guest bathroom.

Qin Zhao also stopped.

Shen Yanci glanced at her: "Is it not enough that I let you kiss me? Do I have to make you watch too?"

"..."

Qin Zhao looked at him with clear eyes for two seconds, then realized what was happening and decided to leave.

Shen Yanci: "What do you want to do by following me here?"

"..."
