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

Chapter 148 We Are All Opportunities
There is also a note on the back.

When he was five years old, his message read: "That's right, your brother was already a handsome young man loved by everyone when he was five! You can be proud! You can be proud!"

"..."

Qin Zhao glanced at him and continued eating.

Shen Yanci didn't refute, his expression calm: "I'll make it up later."

"..."

Lin Shi nudged Qin Zhao's arm triumphantly, raised an eyebrow smugly, and said with a look that said, "Thank me for getting you so many gifts: treat me to dinner."

"..."

Shen Yanci glanced at him sideways: "Why should I invite you to dinner if I'm giving her a gift?"

Lin Shihun casually replied with an "oh," and said, "Then I'll bring your brother Yanci along."

"..."

He exclaimed, "How long are you staying in London? Qin Zhao is having dinner with her friends tonight, why don't you come along?"

Shen Yanci's lips curled slightly, but he quickly suppressed it with his actions, calmly cutting his steak: "Is this convenient?"

"Why is it inconvenient?" Lin Shi retorted, "It's not like I'm being charged per person."

"Then I'll adjust the time."

"..."

The banquet will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by a small welcoming reception at 6:30 p.m.

Because they were all quite young, it was essentially a small party.

After Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng greeted them from the front, they gave them space.

At Lin Shi's urging, Qin Zhao drank half a glass of cocktail.

Fueled by alcohol and music, they somehow started dancing.

The dinner, which was originally scheduled to end at 8:30, was delayed by 20 minutes.

It was already nine o'clock when Qin Zhao finished seeing off her companions.

Stepping away from the lively atmosphere, Lin Shi put his arm around her shoulder again and looked at Shen Yanci: "Shall the three of us have another round?"

"..."

Shen Yanci stared at him for a few seconds: "She has class tomorrow."

"I'll only play for a little while, it's too boring."

Shen Yanci: "I don't have time."

"You don't have classes, so what makes you think you don't have time?" Lin Shi snorted and asked Qin Zhao, "What about you?"

Just as Qin Zhao was about to answer, the tip of his left middle finger was pinched lightly.

He hooked her fingers and burrowed them into her palm, tickling her palm.

Qin Zhao grabbed the mischievous finger and pinched it as a warning.

Shen Yanci's eyes darkened, and he let out a sound of surprise.

She was so frightened that she immediately let go of his hand.

Lin Shi looked at him, puzzled: "What are you shouting for?"

Qin Zhao stared at him with wide eyes, looking wary.

Shen Yanci glanced at her and chuckled softly, "My legs are numb."

"..."

Lin Shi was speechless, rolling his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "What are you laughing at, your legs are numb? You're laughing like a vixen."

"..."

“I don’t think you’re calcium deficient.” He pointed to his temple. “You’re lacking brains, you’re a lunatic.”

Qin Zhao glared at him as well.

He raised an eyebrow, not to be outdone.

Lin Shi continued with that question: "Let's have a match."

Qin Zhao pushed his arm down: "Next time, we have class tomorrow."

The three of them took the elevator back to their room together.

Lin Shi: "You two are so boring. The nightlife hasn't even started yet, and you're already done."

He complained, but then he couldn't resist looking in the mirror.

Shen Yanci glanced at Qin Zhao, who was standing at the edge, and stared straight at her.

It's hard for Qin Zhao to ignore.

She frowned and looked at Shen Yanci's shadow reflected in the elevator door.

Shen Yanci smiled and looked at her through the shadow on the elevator door.

Lin Shi turned around and his gaze met theirs directly at the elevator door.

The air fell silent for a moment. Lin Shi glanced at her, then at Shen Yanci.

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled, he pinched his fingers, and tilted his neck to do a neck exercise.

Shen Yanci smiled as she looked at the elevator doors.

Lin Shi leaned forward and lowered his chin slightly: "Even though it's blurry, I'm still the most handsome."

"..."

"Ding--"

Shen Yanci's floor was reached first.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the two could no longer communicate through any medium. As Shen Yanci stepped out of the elevator, he glanced at her almost imperceptibly: "Let's keep in touch by phone."

Qin Zhao curled his fingers.

Lin Shi: "Understood."

Qin Zhao returned to his room, and soon after, Shen Yanci sent him a message: "Want to take a walk? The sunset was beautiful today."

During daylight saving time in the UK, the sun sets very late, around 9 p.m.

Qin Zhao only learned after he arrived that in England, 10 p.m. can feel like daytime at times.

She said, "But it can't be too long."

Shen Yanci replied with an "okay": "I'll wait for you in the lobby."

When Qin Zhao arrived at the main hall, Shen Yanci was already there.

Outside the huge glass window was a pinkish-purple sky. He wore a thin black trench coat, his shoulders and back were straight, and he stood out.

He saw Qin Zhao smile.

Qin Zhao shifted his gaze and walked over unhurriedly.

The two walked out of the hotel side by side.

The twilight and the pink glow of the sky reflected off the medieval-style buildings, and the sound of an organ drifted through the streets, as if an old movie was being filmed.

They walked along the alley beside the river, enjoying the pleasant evening breeze.

Occasionally, you'll run into a few couples.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed as he glanced at her.

Qin Zhao glanced at him and continued walking forward.

She watches street performers, and if she finds something interesting, she'll stop and watch for a while, sometimes even laughing along unconsciously.

Turning back, she met Shen Yanci's smiling eyes, and the smile stopped and slowly faded.

She shifted her gaze slightly, looking at him with her clear, shallow eyes.

She didn't like him staring at her.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked up at the azure sky: "The sunset in London is quite beautiful."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement: "It's pink."

“We can watch it together often in the future,” Shen Yanci said before checking her reaction.

Qin Zhao looked to the side, his chin nodding slightly in sync with the organ music, like a wavy line drawn on a long ruler.

“There are many other interesting places we can visit together.”

The cheerful laughter of pedestrians drifted over, seemingly carried far away by the wind. The blue river rippled with layer upon layer of waves, shimmering in the light.

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

It was very soft, but Shen Yanci heard it.

The joy in his eyes exploded instantly, as if it was about to overflow.

Qin Zhao glanced at him and added calmly, "If there's an opportunity."

"We are all opportunities if you want to."

His gaze was direct and intense, as if he were reciting some kind of vow.

Qin Zhao: "Are you leaving or not?"

"Let's go!" Shen Yanci walked backwards, his eyes fixed on her. The wind blew his clothes and hair, wild and unrestrained. "Let's go together."

Qin Zhao thought he was very childish.

As the light grew dimmer, the sky's base color turned a deep blue.

Shen Yanci stood to her left, stealing glances at her every now and then, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing slightly with his movements.

His arm brushed against hers, his hand lightly brushing against hers twice before moving away, repeating this motion twice.

Qin Zhao suddenly raised his left hand.

Sorry... my eyes were blurry and I posted in the wrong order. I apologize to everyone who had a bad reading experience. I've corrected it now, thanks to "Flowers Blooming at Sunset" for reminding me. I originally planned to post three updates today but failed, and then this blunder happened... I'll post them all tomorrow.
