Chapter 334 How could she go abroad in that condition?
Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Qin Qiong out of the corner of his eye.

She shifted her gaze and said, "Goodnight."

"..."

Qin Zhao took Qin Qiong's hand and they entered the residential area together: "Mom, has brother left yet?"

"No, not yet." Qin Qiong paused for a moment, then suggested, "How about you go home to stay recently? Your brother is here too."

Qin Zhao grunted, "I'll go back when I have fewer classes."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "How about Mom stays with you today?"

"it is good."

……

Shen Yanci stopped his car halfway down the road.

The wheels screeched against the ground, piercing the night sky with a piercing sound.

I took a leave of absence during my freshman year of college.

Senior high school students went on a trip.

What was Qin Zhao doing during those two and a half years?
"It's not that I don't like you. It's not that I didn't like you three years ago either."

He closed his eyelids slightly.

The next day, Lin Shi was dragged out for drinks by Kuang Xu.

Seeing that Shen Yanci's sour face was on full display, he glanced at Kuang Xu and asked, "Why didn't you mention there were dogs?"

"Didn't you two make up?" Kuang Xu sat down next to him. "When you two were having a fight, Qin Zhao had a hard time in the middle."

"Stop." Lin Shi raised his hand. "Qin Zhao isn't in the middle; she's my sister."

"I'll always be her brother." He snorted, glanced at Shen Yanci, and said meaningfully, "He might not still be her boyfriend."

Shen Yanci tightened his grip slightly: "Yes, my status will be upgraded in the future."

Lin Shi, chin held high, retorted aggressively, "Where did you get the nerve to say that!"

Seeing this, Kuang Xu pulled him aside, saying, "We brothers finally get together, what are you doing?"

"He doesn't even deserve to mention brothers!" he scoffed. "He's nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"..."

"Then you chat with your dog brother for a while." Kuang Xu pressed him down to sit on the sofa. "I'll go order some more wine."

The table was already covered with bottles of varying heights, all of which they had stored away before.

He's giving them space.

Shen Yanci: "You seem to be suddenly very dissatisfied with me."

Lin Shi scoffed, "I thought you were shameless and heartless."

Shen Yanci poured him a glass of wine and placed it in front of him: "You went to the psychology lab. What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"What's it to you!" Lin Shi said firmly, but his eyes darted around.

"Will it work?" Shen Yanci asked casually. "Zhaozhao hasn't been in a good mood lately. If it works, I'll go with her."

"I don't need you!" Lin Shi yelled, then changed his tune, "She's in a great mood!"

After he finished yelling, he drank the wine in his glass.

"That's good." Shen Yanci twitched his finger slightly, his tone as usual, "Speaking of which, when did you become so worried about her?"

"Nonsense! She's my sister! I'm worried about you, not her!"

“You weren’t this nervous when she was your brother.” Shen Yanci poured himself a glass of wine.

Lin Shi snorted.

Shen Yanci's fingers curled slightly: "Did she have any trouble adjusting from pretending to be a boy to being a girl?"

Lin Shi seemed to have had some Achilles' heel touched, and his arrogance diminished.

She moved her lips slightly, but upon seeing Shen Yanci's face, she felt a surge of annoyance: "What's it to you? Why are you so concerned about things that have ended?" The suspicion in her mind seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth.

Shen Yanci suddenly lost his patience for probing: "We didn't break up."

“Then let me tell you,” Lin Shi said, enunciating each word clearly, “you’re going to get dumped.”

Shen Yanci looked at him: "What did she tell you?"

"In her opinion, of course it's your fault. You were dumped because you didn't do well." Lin Shi was clearly angry.

Shen Yanci's throat tightened, and his knuckles turned white from the force: "It's my fault for not doing well."

“I always felt she didn’t like me.” He looked at him. “This time I thought she was going to America to pursue a PhD. So…”

"You're fucking crazy!" Lin Shi glared at him. "She doesn't like you pursuing her!"

"The professor gave her a verbal invitation, but she didn't say she would go!"

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids, took a sip of wine, and deliberately shouted, "What do you know!"

"Four years ago, you said she wouldn't take the college entrance exam and would go abroad. And look what happened!" He stared at him. "She hasn't contacted me for two and a half years!"

"How can she go abroad in that condition!" Lin Shi shouted, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

He turned his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Shen Yanci's voice was hoarse: "What happened to her?"

"None of your business!" Lin Shi gripped his wine glass. "I never approved of your relationship from the start! Qin Zhao pursued you once, and broke up with you once—that's fair. I won't cause you any trouble. Go back to England and never come back!"

"Really?" Shen Yanci closed her eyes slightly, her voice as soft as if she were drunk, and stared at him intently. "She didn't mention breaking up, I did."

The wine glass shattered on the floor, followed by the sound of fists clashing together.

Lin Shi punched him directly in the face.

He seemed unsatisfied.

He punched him again: "What did you say!"

"Don't you know the reason?" Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids, his chest heaving, which instead gave off a provocative air.

"Go to hell!" Lin Shi grabbed his collar. "If you can't accept it, why did you agree to it! She finally got better, and then you went to see a psychologist again! Who are you trying to fool with that self-righteous look on your face!"

Perhaps it was the pain from the wound on her face, but Shen Yanci's eyes reddened: "A psychologist? So she really did take a leave of absence from school because of gender dysphoria. Is that right?"

"If you already know, why are you asking me?"

Although she had some guesses, Shen Yanci still paused for a few seconds before accepting it.

His heart felt like it had been ripped open, bleeding profusely, and his voice trembled as he asked, "When did it start?"

Lin Shi: "Didn't you already say you wanted to break up? Who are you pretending for now!"

His eyes were red-rimmed, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "How could I possibly mention it?"

"..."

Lin Shi: "Are you sick?!"

Shen Yanci grabbed his wrist, her voice strained as she asked, "When did she start seeing a psychologist?"

Lin Shi shook him off, somewhat annoyed: "The year you went to England!"

So, she didn't go on vacation that Christmas; she was there for treatment.

Shen Yanci's breathing became painful: "Didn't she know she was a girl? Why is it so serious?"

Lin Shi sat down irritably: "It's not just a simple gender disorder, it's complex post-traumatic stress disorder. She seems normal, but she's actually compensating with cognitive factors. The neurological damage is severe."

There were many suppressed bodily reactions. In severe cases, dissociation can occur, and she did experience symptoms at one point. She even considered suicide.

Shen Yanci's breath hitched, his hands suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and he said with difficulty, "Suicide?"

Lin Shi's eyes also welled up with tears: "If it weren't for my parents watching over me 24 hours a day—"
