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

Chapter 314 I'm determined to see this through to the end.
“A little.” He turned around and went back to packing his things.

Seeing his seemingly busy figure, Qin Zhao's previous annoyance vanished, and she proactively asked, "Is there anything I can help you tidy up?"

Shen Yanci pressed his lips together, and his shoulders slumped down as if he had taken a deep breath.

He glanced at her with his dark eyes, then quickly looked away.

His voice was very calm: "No need."

Qin Zhao moved his mouth slightly, then closed it again.

Shen Yanci would occasionally go over to Qin Zhao's spot to get something, but he never looked at her.

His shadow, carrying a refreshing scent, enveloped her for a moment before quickly moving away.

Qin Zhao watched his figure, which kept stopping and starting, and lowered his eyelids.

As he looked for something next to her, Qin Zhao gave up her seat.

Shen Yanci paused for a moment, his expression becoming even more indifferent. He lowered his eyes and continued tidying up.

Qin Zhao glanced at him, then turned and left the dressing room.

As soon as she left, Shen Yanci's busy figure also stopped.

He stood there, watching her retreating figure.

Qin Zhao didn't leave; he sat on the sofa outside.

Five or six minutes later, Shen Yanci finally came out pushing his suitcase.

Qin Zhao sat quietly, his fingers fidgeting with his phone case.

The suitcase wheels made a smooth sound on the floor.

Shen Yanci pushed her suitcase aside.

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "Are you ready?"

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids briefly, and after a few seconds said, "There are some other documents as well."

"Oh."

By the time he finished packing, the driver had already come up to help with the luggage.

He seemed to finally remember her, and looked at her: "Let's go."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids, nodded, and stood up.

Shen Yanci stared at her for two seconds, then pursed his lips and looked away.

He walked ahead, and Qin Zhao could only see his broad back.

He walked slowly, but made no move to turn back and take her hand.

Qin Zhao stopped in his tracks: "Shen Yanci, have you forgotten something?"

Shen Yanci stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn around: "What?"

Qin Zhao walked step by step to his side, slipped her hand into his palm, and then grasped it.

"We agreed yesterday that we would hold hands today."

She looked up at him.

There was no feeling of being down or angry.

Shen Yanci stared at her for a few seconds, his lips parted briefly before closing again.

He closed his eyes briefly and was led outside by her.

As they approached the door, Shen Yanci stopped and looked at her, saying each word clearly, "I'm leaving."

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, looked at their clasped hands, then at the car outside: "Let's hold hands a little longer."
-
Cherish.

The veins on the back of Shen Yanci's hand throbbed slightly, and he looked at her with his dark eyes: "We still have many more opportunities to hold hands, right?"

Qin Zhao found his tone a bit strange, but still hummed in response. She lowered her eyelashes and slowly released his hand.

"..."

Does holding the hand for a little while take up too much time?
But considering how anxious and upset he seemed, she didn't confront him.

When his palm was empty, Shen Yanci's expression visibly worsened.

Don't hug him.

I won't kiss him.

They let go of him.

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and comforted her, "There's a lot of work to do. If you can't do this well, there are others."

These words took on a different meaning in Shen Yanci's ears.

There are many men, this is a difficult topic to discuss, and there are others as well.

Shen Yanci stared at her, his eyes dark and unfathomable: "I only like one person, and I'm going to see it through to the end."

Qin Zhao sensed that he seemed angry: "Are you taking it out on me?"

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelashes and exhaled: "No."

Qin Zhao pursed her lips: "I just don't want to put so much pressure on you."

She didn't intend to argue with him. She glanced at him and said, "Let's go, the driver is still waiting."

Shen Yanci subconsciously raised his hand to pull her up, but then felt that he was being too cowardly.

It came to an abrupt stop.

She was only a little cold towards him, and he was already eager to cling to her. Shen Yanci let out a deep breath.

The luggage has been put into the trunk, and the driver is sitting in the driver's seat.

Shen Yanci looked down at her condescendingly and said, "I'm leaving."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement, her expression harmless, and hugged him: "Take care of yourself."

She thought he was in a hurry, and she was also angry with him, so she only hugged him for a few seconds before letting go.

Shen Yanci lowered his lip line further, glanced at her indifferently, and got into the car without any expression.

Qin Zhao danced the dance that Lin Shi filmed for her twice, and just as she was about to dance it a third time, Lin Shi called her with a video.

Lin noticed a bead of sweat on her forehead, with the sound of him keeping time in the background.

He paused for a moment: "Why did you jump up again?"

Qin Zhao: "Your dance is good, and I'm bored, so I want to dance along."

Dance was also part of her therapy, designed to increase her sense of control over her body.

Lin Shi lowered his eyelids and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Was it because I danced well, or was it because I was bored?"

"It's mainly because you jump well."

Lin Shi: "How many times have you jumped?"

"Just started."

Lin Shi: "How are Mom and Dad?"

"Everything's fine." Qin Zhao turned off the video. "They even went shopping yesterday and bought a lot of things."

"You didn't go?"

"No, I went to see a movie."

"with who?"

"Shen Yanci".

"I knew it was that dog," Lin Shi scoffed. "Was the movie good?"

Qin Zhao was silent for two seconds, then nodded and said, "It's a comedy movie, it's quite funny."

Lin Shi didn't guess Qin Zhao's thoughts either. He just wanted to tease Shen Yanci: "It's funny and it makes you unhappy. Shen Yanci is just so-so."

—

Qin Zhao took a shower and slept for a while. He woke up around 2 a.m. and checked his phone.

There are several messages that do not mention Shen Yanci.

He must have arrived in the UK around 1 a.m., and he hasn't sent her a single message since.

It's around 7 p.m. there, he can't be busy then.

She typed: "Have we arrived yet?"

Shen Yanci would usually send her messages.

She waited for a few minutes, but he didn't reply.

I tossed and turned for a moment, then dialed the number.

I dialed his number, but he didn't answer.

She broadcast another one.

I hope nothing bad will happen.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

Qin Zhao: "Shen Yanci."

"Ah."

A familiar voice came through the microphone, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you arrived?"

Perhaps due to a delay, he paused slightly: "We've arrived."

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Qin Zhao fidgeted with his fingers, and didn't send her a message either. "Were you busy?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a soft "hmm" was heard.

Qin Zhao, clutching his phone case, said, "Then you go ahead and do your work."

Silence again: "Hmm."

"..."

Every sentence elicits a response, yet every sentence is also utterly indifferent.

His voice was cold and his words were simple, but he didn't hang up after he finished speaking.

Having just spent over ten hours on a plane, Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes and said, "Get some rest as soon as you're done."

There was another half-second of silence on the other end: "Okay."

"Good night."

"Good night."

Qin Zhao took out his phone and hung up.

"..."
