Chapter 171 Elopement
Qin Qiong: "Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up today? Mom will go with you."

Qin Zhao's expression froze for a moment, and she even forgot to blink. After two seconds, she hugged Qin Qiong and said, "I'm fine now, and I even made plans to go out with Manman."

"Okay." Qin Qiong didn't disrupt her plans. "When are you free so we can go get checked out, okay?"

"Didn't the doctor check me up? I have no problems."

"Let's just relax and chat with the girls."

Qin Zhao released her, and his mouth moved slightly: "Do you think I have psychological problems?"

Do you also think Lin Wanhua is right?

Are you worried that I will hurt you?
Her smile was somewhat forced, and she looked like she was about to break apart.

“It’s not that there’s a problem, Zhao Zhao.” Qin Qiong held her hand. “Everyone encounters things, and sometimes the pressure may exceed our threshold. We’re just seeking help from the outside world.”

"This is just a way to relieve stress, it doesn't mean we have a problem."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, as if an invisible veil had enveloped him, making him look as if he were covered in a layer of dust.

"Shall we try it just this once?" Qin Qiong looked at her earnestly. "Mom will go with you."

It was already August, but Qin Zhao's hands were still very cold, as if no matter how he tried to warm them up, they wouldn't get warm.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyelids even blinked.

She couldn't bring herself to refuse, but the thought of the consequences made her body instinctively resist, so they all declared a strike.

She clenched her fist, trying to suppress these inexplicable reactions.

"Just chatting?"

Qin Qiong nodded: "We were just chatting."

"it is good."

Qin Qiong smiled and hugged her: "It depends on your schedule, Mom will arrange it."

Qin Zhao did not hug her back this time.

She went out, took a taxi to a remote post station, and mailed the envelope.

She wandered aimlessly down the road, not knowing where she was going.

She went to a park and searched online.

One minute it's a paternity test, the next it's psychological counseling.

Life history questionnaire, suicide risk assessment form, SCL-90 mental health test...

After completing the first attempt, she glanced at the result on the screen, deleted it, and redid it twice more.

She sat there for a while, clearing the search box, before slowly standing up and hailing a taxi with a blank expression.

On the only way home, I ran into Shen Yanci.

She lowered her eyelids, her expression unchanged: "What are you doing here?"

"I'll wait for you." Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly to look at her. "Didn't you say you were tired and needed to rest?"

"I was just taking a walk."

"Just taking a walk, not replying to WeChat messages, not answering phone calls." Shen Yanci's voice was indifferent. "Qin Zhao, this is the second day since we confirmed our relationship."

Qin Zhao squeezed the strap of his backpack: "If you're not satisfied, just pretend it wasn't confirmed."

Shen Yanci's pupils contracted slightly, and his tone became a bit harsh: "What did you say?"

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and shifted his gaze: "What do you want?"

"What do you mean 'I want to do this'? Don't you think you're weird?" Shen Yanci looked at her with his dark eyes. "We were kissing yesterday, chatting in the afternoon, and talking on the phone in the evening. Today you suddenly cut off contact and said it was as if we hadn't confirmed anything."

"Shouldn't you at least give me an explanation?"

Qin Zhao lowered her eyelids and remained silent for a while. She then gripped the strap of her bag and said, "Shen Yanci."

"I have a headache."

Startled by her sudden show of weakness, Shen Yanci forgot to press further. He hesitated, then stepped forward to check her over, placing the back of his hand on her forehead: "No fever. Did you bump into something, or didn't you sleep well?"

Just as she was about to say "I didn't sleep well," she remembered pretending to be asleep yesterday.

"Lin Shi is a big idiot."

Shen Yanci breathed a sigh of relief: "What stupid thing has he done now?"

"It wasn't him, it was Lin Wanhua."

She said she was not Qin Qiong's biological daughter.

She also said that she harbored resentment and had a twisted mentality, which might make her mother think there was something wrong with her.

Qin Zhao pursed his lips: "I hate them."

Shen Yanci waited for her to continue, but she didn't speak again: "What happened to Lin Wanhua?"

Qin Zhao: "Lin Wanhua and Xia Zhirou scolded us on the phone, but they were a completely different person in front of Lin Shi. They even said that I had a problem with Lin Shi." She was telling the whole truth, without getting to the point.

Shen Yanci: "Lin Shizhen is really stupid."

Qin Zhao: "I think so too."

Shen Yanci: "You're upset about this and ignoring me?"

"..."

Seeing her silence, Shen Yanci said, "Don't you think you're going too far, Qin Zhao?"

"How could you say that without confirmation? What do you take me for—"

Qin Zhao suddenly pressed him down, and since she was wearing platform shoes, kissing him wasn't too difficult.

His words were suppressed, and a soft touch appeared on his lips, causing Shen Yanci to catch his breath.

He reflexively closed his eyes, opened his lips, grabbed her waist, and was about to move forward when Qin Zhao tilted his head back and dodged.

He couldn't help but chase after her, only to kiss the air that carried her scent.

He opened his eyes, still somewhat dazed.

Qin Zhao had already kept a half-step distance from him.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed: "What are you doing?"

I want you to have some peace and quiet.

"..."

Shen Yanci glanced at her lips, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "That might not be enough."

He reached for her hand, but she put her hand behind her back: "They'll see."

Shen Yanci wanted to ask when they could be seen, but seeing her expression, he changed his mind and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

He grabbed her wrist and led her toward the garage.

Qin Zhao: "Where to?"

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "Elopement."

"..."

That's a helipad.

Qin Zhao followed the instructions and changed into a jumpsuit and goggles.

She looked at the helicopter with some hesitation.

Shen Yanci: "Are you scared?"

"Correct."

Her candor left Shen Yanci speechless: "If you're really scared, we can go play other games."

Just as he was about to get down, Qin Zhao placed his hand in his palm.

Shen Yanci grasped her hand and pulled her up.

They fastened their double-hook seatbelts and put on noise-canceling headphones.

The roar of the engines was torn into muffled fragments by the wind, the buildings on the ground slowly shrank, adrenaline surged, and Qin Zhao smelled the smell of aviation fuel and the cold air entering his lungs.

The helicopter hovered in the air, her legs dangling over metal tripods.

The city's night view is like flowing gold, with neon-lit roads flowing into ribbons of light, and the silhouettes of skyscrapers shimmering in the darkness, making the whole world seem small.

The cold wind stung my face.

It also carries a sense of freedom from abandoning order.

She sat there for ten minutes.

My mind went blank.

It seems like nothing else matters anymore.

"Are you feeling better?" Shen Yanci asked loudly.

Qin Zhao went to see him.

In the shadows of the night, his features became exceptionally clear: dark eyes, a high-bridged nose, thin lips…

What is self-destruction? Is it destroying oneself and others? Qin Zhao.

When you resist seeing a therapist, or when you're redoing psychology test questions, what are you thinking?
Yan Ci is destined to stumble...

I've received so much encouragement from you all lately! I saw it all, thank you so much, my lovely ladies! It's so heartwarming and gives me so much strength! My efficiency was a bit low today, but I'll focus on writing more from now on!

(I've realized there's a misunderstanding I might have caused myself. When I said "entering the identity part," some people thought it meant going completely public. It's like a girl agreeing to date, and the guy immediately asking, "Why aren't you having kids yet? You silly baby, don't be a man!")
