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

Chapter 293 Cold, why aren't you coming over?
"I've already cancelled my hotel reservation in Oxford. Do I need to book a new one?"

Qin Zhao looked at him and asked, "Where do you live?"

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes as unfathomable as ink.

Qin Zhao: "Are there any hotels nearby?"

"..."

Once in the car, Qin Zhao remembered to send a message to Jiang Man, explaining the whole story.

After hanging up Qin Zhao's call, Jiang Man went over and berated Kuang Xu for providing false information and being shameless.

Kuang Xu was completely bewildered after being scolded, and he raised his finger to swear that Shen Yanci's body and mind were absolutely innocent.

After receiving the explanation, Jiang Man didn't rush to tell Qin Zhao. She wanted to give Shen Yanci some space and let him take the initiative.

It's always been her Zhao Zhao who's so proactive, what's the big deal?

She wasn't surprised at all when she heard the news.

Jiang Man: "It should have been done a long time ago."

How did he confess his feelings?

Qin Zhao squeezed his phone: "I brought it up."

Jiang Man sent three collapsed emojis in a row: "Is Shen Yanci any good or not?"

Qin Zhao was amused and typed a reply.

Shen Yanci saw her holding her phone and grinning like an idiot ever since she got in the car: "Who are you chatting with so happily?"

Qin Zhao: "Full."

When he leaned closer, Qin Zhao instinctively pointed her phone screen at herself to prevent him from looking at it.

Shen Yanci glanced at her phone, then looked at her again with his eyelids lifted.

Qin Zhao turned off his phone.

Shen Yanci seemed to realize something: "They're talking badly about me."

"..."

"No," Qin Zhao denied quickly.

Shen Yanci: "What are you saying about me?"

"nothing."

Shen Yanci clearly did not believe it.

Qin Zhao said, word by word, "It means we're together."

Shen Yanci stared at her for two seconds, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curled up: "No need for all that trouble, just post an announcement on your WeChat Moments."

"No." Qin Zhao thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It would be too embarrassing."

Shen Yanci's eyes darkened slightly, he closed his eyelids, and said nothing more.

Qin Zhao thought of something: "Next time you go back to China, treat my roommates to cake. When Xinyi first started dating, her boyfriend treated everyone in our dorm to small cakes."

Seeing that Shen Yanci's expression wasn't as good as before, she assumed he was unwilling: "I can treat you."

"Isn't it your boyfriend who's treating?" Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids and pulled down her seatbelt. "You can treat the whole school."

"..."

After dinner, Shen Yanci escorted her back to her hotel.

Qin Zhao chatted with Jiang Man for a while, then looked at Shen Yanci.

Shen Yanci glanced at her: "Your eyes are so blatant."

"..."

The car stopped, and Qin Zhao put his phone away: "You're acting a little strange today."

"What's wrong?"

Qin Zhao looked at him and said, "When I was speaking to you with genuine feelings, you didn't respond; you were only thinking about kissing me."

Shen Yanci tapped the steering wheel with his finger and said calmly, "My love is my response."

"..."

He pulled down her seatbelt and said in a serious tone, "To say such heartfelt things at a time like that is just like looking for a relative."

"..."

Shen Yanci: "My kiss was also very sincere, couldn't you feel it?"

"..."

Qin Zhao was momentarily speechless after his few words: "I told you last time, don't be so intimate."

Shen Yanci's pupils were pitch black: "So intimate, how intimate?"

"..."

The carriage space suddenly became cramped, and Qin Zhao felt he couldn't stay any longer: "However I kiss you, you kiss me."

Shen Yanci said casually, "Have you ever seen anyone learn to drive a motorcycle? Trying to drive a baby?" "..."

Qin Zhao felt that he was insulting her.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Shen Yanci said, "Of course, relationships should be fair. You can kiss me however you want."

Before Qin Zhao could even put his lips to his mouth, he heard him say in a particularly cold voice, "One time each, one according to your method, one time according to mine."

"..."

"If you want to kiss me a few more times, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Lin Shi and Kuang Xu were right, Shen Yanci was very flirtatious.

"..."

They departed on Friday, transiting through Helsinki to Rovaniemi.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was greeted by a world covered in snow. Although the winter solstice had passed, the Arctic Circle was still in the tail end of the polar night, with short and dark days.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already twilight, with a hazy blue hue, and snowflakes drifted in the lamplight.

Before the white breath she exhaled had even dissipated, Shen Yanci took her hand and asked, "Are you cold?"

Qin Zhao's eyes gleamed with a subtle light: "Not cold."

They drove to Santa Claus Village, where the birch forest was covered with frost, and the car windows were covered with ice flowers, making it as beautiful as a fairy tale world.

She looked out the window, and Shen Yanci looked at her.

On a whim, I raised my phone and snapped a picture, capturing the snowy scene outside the window in that instant.

Santa Claus Village has become quite commercialized, but that doesn't stop it from being a beautiful place.

Since they were already there, they took a photo at the Arctic Circle marker and mailed several postcards with aurora postmarks from the Christmas post office.

Qin Zhao was afraid of the sound of a husky, even though they were riding in a private reindeer sled.

The sled is made of wood and covered with warm reindeer hides. The Sami herders control the reins, making the journey much slower.

Ice crystals clung to the reindeer antlers, sparkling like shattered diamonds. The sleigh swayed gently as it set off, the clear sound of bells like the prelude to a Christmas carol.

Qin Zhao coughed as he inhaled the cold air through his nose.

Shen Yanci: "Are you cold?"

Qin Zhao: "A little."

Shen Yanci looked at her: "It's cold, why don't you come closer?"

"..."

Their arms were already touching, how could they lean on each other?

Qin Zhao: "We're already close together."

Shen Yanci's arm passed through hers, intertwined with her gloved hand, and placed it on his lap. With their bodies no longer obstructed, they pressed even closer together.

He looked at her and said, "Lean your head closer."

Qin Zhao glanced at the Sami herdsman; she couldn't do such a thing: "I'm not cold anymore."

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement and released her hand.

"..."

Qin Zhao pursed her lips and looked at him.

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "Cold again?"

"..."

How am I supposed to know when you're cold?

He raised his voice slightly at the end, and said without batting an eye, "I'm a rather reserved person. If you want something, just take the initiative."

"..."

He looked at her and said casually, "Anyway, I'm your boyfriend."

He glanced at her after he finished speaking.

The reindeer walked steadily in the snow, their hooves crunching as they trod, accompanied by occasional heavy breathing.

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "I want to hold your hand."

Shen Yanci demurely extended his hand: "Let's hold hands."

The Sami guide recounted the legends of the reindeer, and the sled moved slowly and steadily, causing Qin Zhao to feel slightly sleepy.

She leaned her head on his shoulder.

The Sami guide suddenly pointed into the distance: "Look at the horizon."

A golden-pink glow floats at the boundary between the snowfield and the deep blue sky, a touch of nature's romance.

Qin Zhao looked at Shen Yanci and their eyes met.
