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

Chapter 299 I'll pretty much meet your conditions.
Comment: "Big brother power maxed out."

"Lin Shiyi, you're hopeless when it comes to your sister complex. Just say that no one is good enough for your sister."

"I mourn for my sister's boyfriend."

"What's there to mourn? Lin Shiyi is even willing to support his brother-in-law. That man must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good karma."

"Can you not be so strict about gender? Sister, do you think I'm okay?"

"The person upstairs must be really crazy."

One second, we'd be perfectly fine supporting him. The next second, we'd actually want to kill him.

"The camera is recording, but that doesn't stop Lin Shiyi from cursing with his face."

"Lin Shiyi, what a lovely little sister!"

"Support the brother! Sister, stay away from that scumbag!"

"..."

The interview was accompanied by some special effects, and the editor even deliberately created a loop, with the words "beat him to death" and a face-slapping effect playing on a loop on the screen.

A line of decorative text was added next to it: "Little sister, did you hear that?"

Highlights and clips:
Lin Shi: "Who came up with these questions? How could she possibly choose an outsider over me?"

"..."

After the interview finished airing, there was a two-second silence.

Qin Zhao heard this and clenched her fingers: "Brother, do you want a Coke? I'll go get you a drink."

Her voice was particularly sweet.

Shen Yanci glanced at her.

Lin Shi: "Take one can with you."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement and looked at Shen Yanci: "Do you want some?"

Shen Yanci stood up: "Let's go together, let me see what drinks we have."

There was a small refrigerator in the media room, but Lin Shi was a very "collective" person. Seeing that the two of them were going, he also got up and said, "I'll go too."

"..."

Except for Lin Shi, they each took their drinks and returned to the sofa, each lost in their own thoughts.

The screen was still playing the interview clip from earlier.

Shen Yanci tapped the side of the cup with his finger and said calmly, "Actually, you're wrong."

Lin Shi opened the can: "What's wrong?"

“You have someone around you who meets your criteria.” Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly. “I quite meet your criteria.”

"..."

He said casually, "He's more handsome than you."

"..."

Lin Shi realized what he had said and spat out his cola: "Are you crazy? Why did you grant my request?"

He felt a chill run down his spine after saying that, thinking the man was just showing off, and snorted, "Besides, how are you more handsome than me?"

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids and glanced at Qin Zhao.

Lin Shi took a sip of cola and said speechlessly, "Last time, a fan actually asked if you two were a couple. What kind of eyesight do you have?"

He shook his head and said with a sigh, "I'll be content if you two make up and are back to how you were before."

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids briefly, then raised his hand to touch his cup: "We've made up."

Lin Shi raised an eyebrow and scoffed, clearly not believing it.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids: "They really made up."

Lin Shi glanced between the two of them, stood up, and raised his Coke cup: "Cheers to making up!"

Qin Zhao and Shen Yanci both stood up and toasted him in a very cooperative manner: "Cheers."

A glass of cola and two glasses of sparkling water clink together, making a crisp sound.

Lin Shi said with high spirits, "We will always be the best brothers!"

"No, brother and sister!"

"..."

He generously downed his drink in one gulp, then exclaimed, "Why aren't you drinking?"

Shen Yanci clinked his glass against Qin Zhao's, his voice low and magnetic: "Cheers to reconciliation."

Qin Zhao watched him finish his drink, then took a few sips himself.

Lin Shi put his arm around them and said, "It should have been done a long time ago."

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement: "Thanks, bro."

"You're welcome." Qin Zhao's feelings were complicated.

Kuang Xu and Chen Yu's flowers also arrived. In addition to the ones prepared by their family and Lin Shi's friend, there was also an extra preserved flower.

Lin Shi wondered, "Who sent this?"

Shen Yanci said calmly, "It's a gift from me. I wish your new drama great success in ratings."

Lin Shi punched his chest twice with his fist: "As expected of my best brother, he even sent two bouquets of flowers."

"..."

When the show premiered, Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng even ordered a cake. Lin Shi wore a birthday hat as if it were his birthday, while Qin Zhao and Shen Yanci set off fireworks for him.

Qin Qiong presented him with a sash that read: "Newcomer actor Lin Shiyi, Nine Heavens Tribulation achieves soaring ratings."

Lin Zheng smiled as he held up his camera to record the scene.

Lin Shi didn't forget to instruct: "Dad, shoot the face, the upper body."

After the lively celebration, Qin Zhao took a few photos for him.

As the third male lead, the Demon Lord only appeared once in the first two episodes. He had no lines, just showed off, and the scene lasted less than five seconds.

"..."

Until the end credits rolled, Lin Zheng asked, "That's it?"

"Brother's scenes are later." Qin Zhao led the applause, "The Demon Lord is so handsome."

Several people suddenly realized what was happening and clapped their hands.

Lin Shih: "The coolest scenes are yet to come."

"..."

Although he has few scenes, his good looks are enough to attract a portion of fans.

As the series aired, Lin Shi's popularity soared to new heights.

Qin Zhao is nearing the end of the semester and is focusing on reviewing and finishing her thesis. She hasn't been watching dramas regularly and hasn't had much time to date Shen Yanci.

When Qin Zhao gets tired of studying, he likes to hug him.

Shen Yanci likes her to hug him, that's true, but it can't just be hugging.

He saw that she had hugged him enough, so he bent down and kissed her.

Qin Zhao tilted his head slightly: "There's someone there."

"Can't we kiss if there's someone else around?" Shen Yanci looked down at her. "You can calculate how long you've been ignoring me."

"Aren't we holding hands right now?"

"..."

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly: "Holding hands, hugging, kissing, you're making me go back from the third step to the first step. If this isn't neglect, what is it? Being banished to the cold palace?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "If you are really banished to the cold palace, you won't even be able to hold hands with someone."

Shen Yanci looked down at her: "Then should I thank Your Majesty for your great favor?"

Qin Zhao was amused by him. She glanced around to make sure no one was there, then kissed his lips: "You're welcome."

When someone approached, she immediately distanced herself again.

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow but didn't force her.

The evening breeze was a bit strong, rustling the leaves as they turned, and the sky was pitch black.

Shen Yanci carried her schoolbag, held her hand, and slowly walked towards Lanting Bay: "Have you watered the gardenias?"

"It's been watered."

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement: "I thought you were neglecting all of us, but it turns out you only neglected me."

"..."

He lowered his eyelids and said, "I'll take a look at the flowers in a bit."

Qin Zhao replied, "Okay, I really did water it. I also fertilized it the day before yesterday."

The gardenias are in full bloom, and you can smell their faint fragrance as soon as you open the door.

Qin Zhao would move it to the coffee table during the day and open the window for ventilation, then move it back to the balcony when he came back at night.

She said, "Why don't you move it to the balcony?"

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement.

Qin Zhao packed his schoolbag and went to the balcony.

The wind was strong, blowing relentlessly into the window, causing the gardenia petals to sway precariously.

Shen Yanci bent down to look at the flowers.
