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

Chapter 73 It's not like I'm going to kiss you.
Let's set aside whether the word "borrow" implies repayment.

Can I borrow a lipstick?
Qin Zhao moved his mouth slightly and looked at him: "Brother Yanci, I've already used this."

Shen Yanci casually replied with an "oh," "I don't mind."

"..."

"What, you're reluctant to part with it?"

It's not a matter of being willing or unwilling to part with a lipstick; she could give him a new one if she wanted, but it seems a bit strange for them to use each other.

Qin Zhao: "I'll give you a new one."

"But my mouth hurts right now."

Qin Zhao had no choice but to extend his palm forward: "Here you go."

Shen Yanci seemed to lack experience, and Qin Zhao reminded him, "It's not twisting, it's pulling."

He closed his eyelids slightly, did as instructed, and then tried to pull out the ointment from the tube that was already attached to his body.

Qin Zhao chuckled and helped him open it: "You need to twist it here."

Her eyes were smiling, curving into crescent moons.

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids, rubbed the lipstick case with his fingers, and clumsily touched the lipstick to his lips, applying it all over the outside.

Qin Zhao couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to help him wipe it off, but then stopped, pointing to her own lips and reminding him, "It's on your lips."

Shen Yanci glanced at her, his thumb lightly rubbing against her, drawing a shallow arc, exuding an ambiguous eroticism.

Qin Zhao blinked, her gaze falling on his chin.

The owner of the chin seemed unwilling to do as she wished, so he bent down and brought his lips to her face again: "Can't see? Help me apply some."

Qin Zhao took a slight step back due to the sudden closeness, but was then pulled back by a strong arm: "Why are you hiding? It's not like I'm going to kiss you."

"..."

She looked at the instigator of his outrageous remarks with a mixture of emotions, while he remained remarkably calm and composed.

She pursed her lips, held her breath, lifted Shen Yanci's chin, and decisively applied the lipstick according to his lip shape.

The part that had come out was wiped away with her fingertips.

She deftly twisted the cream back into place and closed the case: "Take a sip."

"Qin Zhao! You're dawdling again!"

As Lin Shi shouted hoarsely, Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a clear gulp of swallowing was swallowed away.

When Lin Shi saw Qin Zhao, he immediately launched into a tirade: "Can you please be faster next time? How many times have I been made to wait?"

"And you too." Lin Shi frowned at Shen Yanci. "Why are you dawdling around so early after school? I've been waiting for almost ten minutes."

"You two," Lin Shi scoffed, pointing with his chin at the spot where they had just been standing, "what were you doing there? Why did you have to say those things in this freezing weather?"

He scoffed, "If I didn't know better, I'd think you two were secretly kissing while you were dating."

"..."

He spoke without thinking, but the listener took it to heart.

Shen Yanci glanced at Qin Zhao out of the corner of his eye.

Qin Zhao frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“I’m talking nonsense, I just want you two to hurry up! No,” he pointed at Qin Zhao, “you’re the one who needs to hurry up, he’s not coming home with me. If I wait for you for ten minutes every day, that’ll be more than three hours a month, and almost two days and two nights a year!”

Qin Zhao, realizing he was in the wrong, softened his voice: "I know, I promise I won't make you wait for me next time."

"That's more like it," Lin Shi said, somewhat satisfied.

Qin Zhao got into the car and relaxed, while Lin Shi admired his stunning good looks in the mirror.

While admiring his outfit, he casually adjusted his own look: "Did you bring your lipstick?"

"Ok?"

Lin Shi was too busy admiring himself to even glance at her, and repeated, "Lipstick. Didn't Mom give each of us a lipstick?"

Qin Zhao turned to look at him: "What about yours?"

"I lost it." He said it in an extremely casual tone. "Can I borrow it?"

"Lend it to me."

A deep, magnetic voice echoed in his mind. Qin Zhao's fingers curled slightly, and a strange emotion slowly crept into his heart.

Lin Shi waited for a long time without getting a response, and finally gave her a look, his gaze falling on her open pocket: "Isn't it in your pocket? Why is it so hard to get out?"

"..."

Qin Zhao handed him the lipstick. Lin Shi must have used it often; he skillfully applied the lipstick and then smacked his lips together with a loud "smack, smack!"

"..."

Qin Zhao sighed and turned to look out the window: "It's yours."

"..."

During their conversation that evening, Qin Zhao asked Qin Qiong, "Mom, have you ever been to England?"

"I've been there," Qin Qiong said gently, looking at her. "Zhaozhao wants to go to England?"

"It seems that Yanci is going to study in England."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Yan Ci will definitely be fine. I estimate the offer will come through in January."

"Where does Zhaozhao want to go to university?"

Qin Zhao shook his head: "I don't know."

"There's still plenty of time. You can take your time to learn about the schools and majors you like. During the summer vacation, Mom will ask your teacher to help you choose a school."

*
Lin Shi is usually carefree, but when he wants to be narcissistic, he is more narcissistic than anyone else. Qin Zhao saw him using Qin Qiong's luxury face mask several times.

Chen Yu and Shen Yanci were not surprised to find lipstick in his room.

Chen Yu casually asked, "Did you find that lipstick?"

Lin Shi glanced at it casually: "Couldn't find it, those belong to Qin Zhao. My mom bought two."

"Hey, when did you get so close to 'Forced Kiss Bro'?" Chen Yu teased. "You're even putting her things here now."

Lin Shi scoffed, "That's because I'm willing to accept her."

Shen Yanci lifted her eyelids slightly, looking at him with a calm expression: "You used it?"

"hold head high."

Lin Shi took a swig of cola, then glanced at Shen Yanci's unreadable face out of the corner of his eye. He slammed the cola down and said, "What's with that look? I didn't force her! She gave it to me of her own accord!"

initiative.

Shen Yanci looked at him coldly: "You'll use it just because it's given to you? Have you no shame?"

"..."

Lin Shi scoffed, "Why can't I use it? I'm her brother, what's wrong with me using it?"

He scoffed, "I didn't use yours anyway, why are you getting angry?"

Chen Yu, always eager for drama, knew there would be a good show to watch tomorrow.

"..."

Qin Zhao greeted Shen Yanci after school and was about to leave when Shen pulled him back: "Why are you running?"

She sighed, "I have to hurry, or Lin Shi will start talking again."

"Don't worry, he hasn't left the school yet."

"Ok?"

"You've been kept behind by the teacher for extra help, so you'll have to wait a while."

"..."

Upon hearing this news, Qin Zhao was no longer in a hurry to leave, and walked side by side with Shen Yanci at a leisurely pace.

Shen Yanci suddenly asked, "Where's your lipstick?"

Qin Zhao stopped and glanced at his lips: "Yanci, if your mouth keeps hurting, you should go to the hospital to get it checked out. It might be cheilitis."

"..."

After being stabbed, Qin Zhao wisely shut his mouth and tucked his neck into his clothes.

"Here you go."

A brand new, unopened lipstick blocked her view.

Shen Yanci said expressionlessly, "Don't use the same thing as Lin Shi. He's sick and you'll catch it."

"..."

Lin Shi: What are you angry about! What are you angry about!

Lin Shi: Oh my god, I'm sick! Who's shameless here?!
