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

Chapter 129 Shinmei gave him a cold shoulder again after they met.

Qin Zhao was writing his exam paper at home when Shen Yanci's face suddenly popped into his mind.

One moment he was holding her loosely, the next his dark eyes were staring straight at her, calling her Qin Zhao.

Many other images flashed through her mind.

She gripped the pen with her fist, propped her chin up, and with a swish, folded a corner of the paper, leaving a glaring mark on it with the pen.

Qin Zhao frowned and spread the paper out flat.

Can things really be the same as before?
The next day, she saw Shen Yanci on the road near the school gate. He was wearing Yinghua's school uniform, but without a jacket. He wore a neatly pressed white shirt and black trousers, which made his shoulders look broad and his legs long, giving him a tall and dashing appearance.

He seemed to have been there for a while, standing lazily and casually under the camphor tree by the roadside. When he saw Qin Zhao, he raised an eyebrow at her.

The sunlight dappled his body, and the ordinary asphalt road and green trees seemed to have been filtered, exuding a sense of beauty.

Qin Zhao had to admit that Shen Yanci was good-looking, objectively good-looking, with her appearance, height, and temperament all contributing to her good looks.

It's so beautiful. Even though they're so close, less than fifty meters apart, she feels he's so far away, as if he's from another world, a world she can never reach.

When Shen Yanci saw her stop, looking as if she had lost everything, he closed his eyelids.

Do you even have to hesitate before walking towards him?

His expression softened slightly: "Aren't you coming over? You're going to be late."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and walked forward.

After getting to Shen Yanci's side, he put on a smile and said, "Good morning."

Shen Yanci glanced at her, his eyes deep, and finally replied with a faint "Good morning."

Qin Zhao could sense the aloofness emanating from him, and she looked at him uncertainly.

He walked forward without any expression.

She ultimately said nothing, and the two parted ways at a fork in the road, each lost in their own thoughts.

Chen Yu hadn't seen Shen Yanci for several days. When he saw him enter the classroom, he exclaimed, "Hey, the check-in guy is here!"

"..."

Shen Yanci pulled out a chair, bent his long legs, sat down, and opened WeChat.

"..."

"I thought you came to school to study." Chen Yu couldn't help but guess that it was because he hadn't checked in for several days and was being punished by the system.

Shen Yanci closed his phone, pulled out an English document, and glanced at him sideways: "What else?"

"...Just to clock in?"

"..."

After school, Qin Zhao saw a familiar figure at the usual spot.

The space, which had been empty for a week, was filled again, and along with her heart, she felt a sense of fullness mixed with a touch of bitterness.

She hadn't taken two steps when someone put their arm around her shoulder. Before she could see who it was, she heard Lin Shi's signature voice: "Friday is finally over!"

Qin Zhao almost rolled his eyes: "Have you been to school two days this week?"

"Half a day, so what?" Lin Shi said matter-of-factly. "That doesn't stop me from being tired. I get tired as soon as I sit down in the classroom."

"..."

Lin Shi saw Shen Yanci nod at him, then say to Qin Zhao, "Want to go out this weekend? I'll take you to play snooker."

Snooker? Qin Zhao had never heard of that name before. She lowered her eyelids and said, "I don't know how."

"It's very simple, similar to playing billiards. Snooker used to be more popular in Britain and Europe. Compared to American pool, it's more like playing chess, emphasizing layout and strategy," Lin Shi explained. "Scoring is based on potting, and whoever has the highest score wins."

He put his arm around Qin Zhao's shoulder and said, "You'll get the hang of it after playing around with it."

"Shen Yanci and Chen Yu will go too, either one of them can teach you. I'll teach you, I'll teach you, okay?" He assured him, acting very much like an older brother.

They happened to walk up to Shen Yanci, and Qin Zhao said "okay".

Shen Yanci's lips were straight, and his gaze seemed to pierce through Lin Shizhuo.

Is he boneless?!

He puts his arm around people's shoulders all the time.

Isn't it hot to sit so close together?
Don't two boys need to be mindful of boundaries?
The more he looked at Lin Shi, the more irritating he became. And Qin Zhao, how could she be so obedient, just letting Lin Shi hold her like that!

If you're afraid of him, shouldn't you treat all other boys the same?

His expression was quite unpleasant as he stared intently at the two of them.

Even the least sensitive skin person can't ignore his deep gaze.

Qin Zhao was truly baffled; why did he suddenly look so angry?

And in the mornings too, he always had a blank expression.

She was so gentle yesterday, saying "See you tomorrow," but when we actually met tomorrow, she gave her a cold shoulder.

Did he regret it, or did he feel ashamed just seeing her...?

Qin Zhao had no idea. She thought about what Lin Shi had just said: that he didn't want her to play snooker.

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shi smiled confidently, as if suddenly realizing something, and draped her arm gracefully over Shen Yanci's shoulder.

Then, feeling quite pleased with himself, he looked at Qin Zhao and then at Shen Yanci.

Sometimes being too charming can be a problem.

He looked at Qin Zhao and comforted him, "Don't take it to heart, he's just a closet pervert."

"..."

Then he looked at Shen Yanci and said, "Isn't my brother your brother? Why are you arguing with her?"

"..."

Qin Zhao looked at Shen Yanci through Lin Shi's nose, and their eyes met in a strange way.

Lin Shi put his arm around their shoulders, his eyes resolute, his gaze unwavering, and his voice burning with passion: "The three of us! And Chen Yu, the four of us, are the best of brothers!"

"..."

Jiang Manren was almost driven crazy by this scene. There was no love triangle! There was no sense of immorality!

She grinned broadly and secretly snapped two photos.

"Full!"

When her mother called out, her hidden actions were immediately exposed.

Qin Zhao turned around when he heard the sound, and she was so startled that she quickly put her phone away and put on a suitable smile.

As soon as Qin Zhao turned around, Lin Shi and Shen Yanci also turned around, their handsome faces forming a line as they looked at her horizontally.

Oh, God.

The food spilled right up to her mouth.

She tried hard to control the corners of her mouth as she walked over to greet them, her gaze sweeping over the three of them.

Qin Zhao's forehead twitched, and he grabbed Lin Shi's wrist and moved his arm away: "Manman."

Jiang Man chuckled.

Lin Shi was amused: "Are you second graders this happy over the weekend?"

"Happy? Of course I'm happy!" Jiang Man couldn't help but let out a perfectly timed smile. Lin Shi and Shen Yanci, her former CP, she wasn't exactly a casual shipper.

Shen Yanci frowned and disgustedly tossed Lin Shi's arm away.

Jiang Man suppressed a laugh: "Zhao Zhao, what are your plans for the weekend?"

Qin Zhao glanced at Lin Shi and Shen Yanci: "Let's go play snooker."

"You—you?" Jiang Man's lips curled into a wild smile. "Are you all going?"

"Ah."

She cleared her throat and tentatively asked, "Can I come along?"

Her intentions couldn't be clearer; she kept giving Qin Zhao meaningful glances.

Chapter Two will be a little later, but not that late...
