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

Chapter 113 Feeling like I've been emotionally deceived
They went back in Shen Yanci's car.

On the way, Qin Zhao took the opportunity to treat Shen Yanci's injuries.

She reminded him, "Once it's done, don't touch the wound when you take a shower."

Shen Yanci held up his two hands, which were wrapped up tightly, and said meaningfully, "How can I control myself when I'm like this?"

Qin Zhao looked at him and said gently, "Then don't bother washing."

"..."

Shen Yanci scoffed, "I thought you would say, 'You wash it for me.'"

"..."

He said, "We're all guys, what's wrong with helping me take a shower?"

I'm afraid you'll report me if you find out I'm a girl.

Qin Zhao gave a vague "Okay".

Shen Yanci glanced at her. Did she agree?

He suddenly fell silent, his heart pounding.

Isn't this too fast?
-
Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng are not home today, but Lin Shi has returned.

Upon seeing Qin Zhao, he jumped onto the sofa, stretched out his arms, and shouted, "Surprise!"

"..."

Qin Zhao's lips twitched slightly, and he put on a polite smile.

Lin Shi was displeased: "What kind of reaction is that?"

Qin Zhao: "You've already told me via WeChat."

Besides, who would present themselves as a surprise to others?

Lin Shi hummed twice: "That doesn't stop you from being pleasantly surprised to see me now. It's been so long since we last saw each other."

Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, and he chimed in, "Wow! Lin Shi's back! You're really back! I'm so surprised!"

Lin Shi thought she was fake, but that didn't stop him from curving his lips: "Too fake."

"Wow! The world's most handsome Lin Shi is home! I'm so happy! I can see such a handsome face every day now. I'm so happy every day! Universe idol Lin Shi! The most handsome visual! Lin Shi, fly high, we'll always be with you!"

Lin Shi couldn't help but smile, and touched his hair: "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

"..."

He grabbed a bunch of things from the sofa and stuffed them into Qin Zhao's arms, saying generously, "They're all for you."

Chains, baseball caps, trendy clothes, and many other avant-garde and fashionable accessories.

Qin Zhao looked up at him, seeing the abundance of gifts in his arms.

“We’re brothers,” Lin Shi said, arms crossed, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “Besides, you helped me too.”

He then noticed that Qin Zhao's eyes and nose were very red and a little swollen, clearly indicating that he had been crying.

"Hey! Seriously? I've only been gone a few days, and you've already been bullied again?" Lin Shi lowered his arms, looking very angry. "Who is it! Who's so blind!"

Qin Zhao looked at his serious expression, raised his eyes slightly, and smiled.

"I'm asking you a question!" Lin Shi frowned. "Have you been bullied to the point of stupidity? Where's Shen Yanci? Doesn't he know to take care of you?"

"No one bullies me."

Lin Shi: "Do you think I'm stupid? Why are you crying if no one is bullying you?"

Qin Zhao: "I was so excited when I saw your WeChat message that I started crying before it was even finished."

"..."

Lin Shi asked skeptically, "Really?"

Qin Zhao nodded.

Her expression was so innocent that Lin Shi subconsciously felt she couldn't lie.

He let out an awkward sigh: "It hasn't been that long since we last met. Besides, it's not like I'm not coming back."

"I never imagined I was so important to you."

"I miss you so much I want to cry."

"..."

Qin Zhao can now answer Lin Shi's previous question.
-
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
-
"Yes."

"Qin Zhao!" Lin Shi's tone ignited again, "I passed! I passed! I passed the SH family's selection! Although the process was a bit tortuous, my talent has been recognized!"

He hugged Qin Zhao tightly, and finally said the words he had been preparing, shaking him as he hugged him.

Qin Zhao: "..."

Qin Zhao paused for two seconds, then exclaimed, "Really! I knew you could do it! You're amazing!"

Lin Shi threw his head back and let out a long, unrestrained laugh. After giving his emotional message, Qin Zhao moved his lips and said, "Brother."

?

Lin Shi hummed in agreement, then felt something was off.

Qin Zhao changed into slippers. She was a head shorter than him and looked up at him, appearing docile and obedient.

It's just too... too effeminate.

He hissed and pinched Qin Zhao's face, turning it back and forth.

His grip was very strong, unlike Shen Yanci's; he didn't pull back at all, and Qin Zhao winced in pain.

Lin Shi withdrew his hand, leaving four bright finger marks on her face.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes: "Can't I call you that?"

Lin Shi clicked his tongue, his expression unsatisfied: "It's not that it's impossible, but can't you be a little more masculine?"

"..."

Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then imitated Li Kui's voice when addressing Song Jiang: "Brother."

"..."

Qin Zhao called out again in a rough voice, "Brother."

"..."

Lin Shi's temple twitched twice: "That's enough. You're not wailing at a funeral, why are you shouting so much?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Brother—Yan Ci is looking for you."

"What does he want from me?" Lin Shi checked his phone. "He didn't send me any messages."

"He's too embarrassed to say it," Qin Zhao said, looking at him. "He really needs you. Could you go see him?"

Lin Shi: "He needs me, shouldn't he be the one contacting me?"

Qin Zhao said gently, "He said you two are the best of brothers. You may seem a bit carefree at times, but when it comes to something, you are the most reliable and loyal. He trusts you the most."

"But didn't you two have some conflicts before? He wanted to ask you for help, but he was too embarrassed to ask."

Lin Shi scoffed, "What's the big deal? I stopped caring a long time ago. What's wrong with him?"

Qin Zhao: "Go and check on him."

She added, "But don't say it directly. Just pretend you accidentally discovered his predicament and then help him so he won't feel so embarrassed. But you must be enthusiastic and show your generosity, selflessness and understanding."

Lin Shi snorted: "So mysterious."

Qin Zhao casually grabbed a baseball cap: "How about we bring him another gift?"

"That's for you." Lin Shi took out another baseball cap. "His is here."

Qin Zhao looked at the stack of baseball caps folded together. How was this any different from her buying scarves? How dare Lin Shi laugh at her back then?
Lin Shi has been gone for half an hour and hasn't returned yet.

Qin Zhao guessed that they had already started washing over there.

She felt relieved and went to wash up as well.

After washing up, I noticed several new messages on my phone.

It was sent by Shen Yanci.

"?"

Qin Zhao: "What's wrong?"

The video call came through immediately.

Qin Zhao answered the call.

Shen Yanci: "Didn't you say you'd help me wash? Why is he here?"

Qin Zhao feigned ignorance: "Who?"

"Hey, Yanci-ge, you're done washing up? Who helped you?"

"..."

Shen Yanci stared at her: "You've already changed into your pajamas and gone to bed?"

Qin Zhao covered his face with his hand and changed the subject, asking, "How are you feeling now?"

"I feel like I've been emotionally deceived."

"..."
