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

Chapter 128 See you tomorrow

"I can understand any reaction you have."

Just like when he first realized he liked Qin Zhao, he also had deep doubts about himself, and his first thought was to run away.

He mistakenly believed that Qin Zhao felt the same way about him because of her care and indulgence.

“I don’t expect any feedback from you; this is my own problem. If you feel uncomfortable, I can keep my distance; don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

"Qin Zhao, I don't regret saying those things, but I may have chosen the wrong time. I'm sorry for making you have such an unpleasant experience."

Shen Yanci kept his distance from her: "I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Qin Zhao's mind was in complete turmoil. She pursed her lips and first refuted his words: "I don't find you disgusting."

"The pressure isn't entirely because of you."

Most of the problems, or rather, are her own.

Shen Yanci's eyes flickered slightly, and he lifted his eyelids, waiting for her to continue.

Qin Zhao didn't say anything more; she frowned as if she didn't know what to do either.

She thought about it for a week but couldn't figure it out, and she always couldn't help but back down whenever she was about to take action.

All she knew was that she was unhappy when Shen Yanci ignored her.

She knew perfectly well that any request she made of him would be excessive and cruel.

Her clear eyes were filled with sorrow as she looked at him with a misty gaze, as if hoping he would take the initiative to help her solve this problem.

But he was the one who got her into this predicament.

What's the difference between this and proactively letting the other party draft a contract when ceding territory and paying reparations?

Shen Yanci took a few steps toward her, finally stopping two steps away.

His tall figure completely blocked out the light, enveloping Qin Zhao in a very open and aboveboard manner: "How do you want us to get along?"

Qin Zhao glanced at him while holding his schoolbag, then looked away: "It was fine the way it was before."

"The same as before." Shen Yanci savored these four words, and after a while, he said, "If you have no problem, I have no problem either."

He stared intently at Qin Zhao, his voice low and slow: "Then let's go at your own pace, take it slow."

Take it slow, there's still more to come.

Qin Zhao felt a burning sensation from the darkness in his eyes.

Shen Yanci, seemingly oblivious to the situation, asked considerately, "Do you want me to pick you up from school tomorrow?"

catch?
The word was used very subtly.

Parents picking up their kids, boyfriends picking up their girlfriends, friends picking up their friends...

He wasn't going to school; there was no need for him to go. He was picking her up from school.

Just like before, we still go to and from school together.

But he stopped hiding his thoughts and chose to lay bare his feelings for her.

He wouldn't tolerate her using a facade of peace to mask the truth.

To knowingly approach someone with ulterior motives is a form of indulgence.

Shen Yanci didn't urge her, patiently waiting for her answer.

"Woof woof—woof woof—"

The familiar, deep bark pierced the air, startling Qin Zhao. Shen Yanci instinctively shielded her, supporting her and creating a space around her. Qin Zhao leaned into his arms as well.

Shen Yanci lowered his eyes, his gaze flickering.

As Lin Shi walked with Max in his hand, he complained, "Max can run so fast. He's already run 10 kilometers and he doesn't even get tired."

By the end, he couldn't tell whether he was walking the dog or the dog was walking him.

Shen Yanci then lazily glanced at him sideways.

Lin Shi frowned instinctively upon seeing their posture: "You—"

Qin Zhao seems to be afraid of dogs; he was so scared last time that he cried.

Lin Shi clicked his tongue and stopped Max from walking that way: "Max! Sit down!"

Max glanced at Shen Yanci, then stuck out her tongue and looked at Lin Shi.

"sit down."

Max finally gave Lin Shi face, squatted down with his back leg, and sat down.

Lin Shi nodded in satisfaction and said to Qin Zhao, "Max doesn't bite. If you don't believe me, ask Shen Yanci."

Shen Yanci blinked slightly: "Max is a Tibetan Mastiff, with wolf blood. It just looks like it has sharp teeth, strong penetrating power, and is very aggressive, and in reality, that's true."

"..." Qin Zhao took a few small steps and backed away a little more.

Lin Shi: "Shen Yanci, are you crazy?! Why are you scaring her?!"

Shen Yanci said calmly, "But so far, it hasn't bitten anyone."

"..."

Lin Shi raised his hand at him: "Max is back to you."

Max wagged its tail and stuck its tongue out at Shen Yanci, who merely blinked: "You led it out, so take it back yourself."

"No, isn't this right in front of your house?" Lin Shi laughed. "You can just take it to its kennel when you go back."

Shen Yanci: "I'm going for a run, it's not on my way."

"..."

Lin Shi chuckled and patted Max's head: "See, Max? This is your master. Don't touch people with cold hearts."

How can you treat everyone the same? If you were my dog, you'd be much happier than you are now.

"..."

Max lay on the ground, turned his belly over so Lin Shi could pet it, and Lin Shi patted it twice: "Good dog."

"..."

Max turned around and licked his face.

"Max!"

My face was licked by a rough tongue and covered in saliva.

Lin Shi clutched the leash in despair, his face flushed red.

Max licked his hand again, and he let go as if he had been electrocuted.

The leash fell to the ground, and Max, now out of control, ran straight toward Shen Yanci, his back bouncing.

Qin Zhao was completely distraught; her legs felt weak, and she tugged at Shen Yanci's sleeve, on the verge of collapse: "It's coming."

Lin Shi broke down, feeling filthy.

Max ran closer and closer, and Shen Yanci's waist was suddenly grabbed. He snorted and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Max, sit down."

After Max sat down, he looked at Shen Yanci for a while, then got up and moved forward.

Qin Zhao was almost going crazy, wishing she could disappear from this world immediately. She dared not move: "Lin Shi."

Lin Shi suppressed his breakdown and grabbed Max's traction device again.

Qin Zhao hurriedly stomped on Shen Yanci's feet several times.

Lin Shi grabbed the leash three times before finally managing to grab it.

He gritted his teeth and led Max back to the doghouse.

Max, unaware of what was going on, continued to rub against him.

As the sounds of voices and barking faded into the distance, Qin Zhao finally realized that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, and the wind made it feel a little chilly.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when a large hand covered her forehead.

It was suspended in mid-air, without touching it.

Qin Zhao's eyelashes fluttered, and Shen Yanci pursed his lips and moved his hand away, saying casually, "You're sweating."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

"Go back and take a hot shower."

"Ah."

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "If you only answer 'yes,' I'm going to ask other questions."

"..."

Qin Zhao's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked away, somewhat at a loss.

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids, his tone casual and natural: "See you tomorrow."

Qin Zhao's tense jaw relaxed.

Shen Yanci: Aren't you going to say "hmm"?

"Well, see you tomorrow."
