Chapter 179 No Need

Qin Zhao's eyelashes were half-closed, and dappled sunlight fell upon her. She looked gentle and harmless, yet she was ruthless in her actions and spoke harshly.

Sometimes they don't even say a word.

"say."

"How many questions have I answered?"

Shen Yanci: "Not a single word of it is something I want to hear."

"Are you Lin Shi? You only listen to what you want to hear."

"You don't need to use such foul language."

"..."

The fire that was about to start failed to ignite because a bucket of water was poured on the firewood.

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "Who can curse as filthily as you?"

"..."

"Then we're on the same wavelength."

"..."

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids and awkwardly glanced elsewhere.

There were hardly any people on the Q University campus. The graduate students who stayed on campus to prepare for the entrance exam were all in the library and study rooms.

He reached forward and touched Qin Zhao's hand, then with lightning speed, he took her hand.

Well-reasoned: "Experience college couple life in advance."

His tone was languid, and his eyes held a subtle, youthful light—expectant, innocent, and courageous.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids, but ultimately did not break free immediately.

It was lunchtime, and they entered the main road, where there were more pedestrians.

Qin Zhao slowly withdrew his hand.

Shen Yanci frowned in disappointment, his lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing.

—

lunch.

Qin Zhao looked at Lin Shi's somewhat exaggerated pose and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Hmm, let's go to Yinghua." Lin Shi glanced at his outfit again. "School's starting soon, right? Our teacher brought back this souvenir from Rome and wants us to go pick it up."

"It's the last time we'll see each other, so of course we have to give it our all." Lin Shi tilted his chin up. "Shen Yanci and Da Yu are both going, are you going or not?"

"Don't go."

“That’s only natural.” Lin Shi said without any surprise. “You have six days left before school starts, and you have a year to fight against it.”

Qin Zhao went upstairs and stopped to look at him again: "It might rain today, remember to bring an umbrella."

"hold head high."

IELTS and the College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) English are different, but they also have similarities. After a year of study, her listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills have all improved significantly. She can now complete Gaokao papers with ease.

Qin Zhao focused all his attention on mathematics and science subjects.

She is very adaptable. The materials she uses are compiled and summarized by renowned teachers, including various types of exam questions and simple problem-solving methods.

Doing math problems followed by science problems helps to clear your head, so it's not too tiring.

She spent the afternoon working through a complete science and math exam and roughly checked the answers.

If she takes the college entrance exam in City B, and works hard for another year, she should have no problem getting into a top-tier university.

After finishing the exam, I was extremely tired, and my stomach started to protest.

Lin said there would be a gathering, so she ate dinner alone.

The watch popped up a message—

S: "Let's go for a walk later, I have something to tell you."

S: "See you at the pavilion."

S: "It's cloudy, I'll come to your house to find you."

Qin Zhao finally typed, quoting the phrase "See you at the pavilion."

S: "Okay."

Shen Yanci was right; the sky was overcast, and the clouds looked like they had been soaked in ink, pressing down heavily.

Qin Zhao habitually grabbed an umbrella, took a couple of steps, and then put it back. Shen Yanci was always punctual; he was already standing there when Qin Zhao arrived.

Qin Zhao: "You didn't go to the dinner party?"

He hummed in agreement: "Want to go to the arcade?"

"It's about to rain," Qin Zhao politely declined. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Yanci: "You really don't want to be with me?"

Qin Zhao: "Is that all you wanted to say?"

He glanced at her expression and asked, "When do you want to tell Aunt Qin and the others the truth?"

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Shen Yanci held her hand: "It's okay, Zhaozhao. Aunt Qin and the others won't dislike you because you're a girl, nor will they hate you for hiding it. They'll only feel sorry for your experiences and regret not finding you sooner."

Qin Zhao's expression did not relax at his words; his lips tightened even more.

"Furthermore, if you believe that deception will cause harm, wouldn't the longer you deceive, the deeper the harm will be?"

Qin Zhao raised his eyes slightly, looked away, and withdrew his hand.

Her voice was barely audible: "I know."

"I know I was wrong."

"I know I'm a liar."

She exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes returning to the dull color of a year ago. She frowned slightly: "What else do you want to say? Say it all at once!"

"Why do you become so stubborn and prickly when it comes to this?" Shen Yanci looked at her. "Or does hurting others make you feel better?"

"Because you've never lived a life like mine. If you feel hurt, then stay away." Qin Zhao gave a nonchalant smirk. "Did I ask you to come closer? Or have you developed a masochistic streak from having such a good life for so long?"

"Qin Zhao!"

His tone was very harsh.

Qin Zhao pursed her lips and tilted her head slightly.

"Do you have to talk like that?" Shen Yanci was clearly getting angry too. "I'm not forcing you, nor am I condemning you. You know all that, don't you?"

"Do you know how hurtful you've been these past few days? Why have you suddenly become like this?"

Qin Zhao: "I've always been like this. You just noticed it now."

Shen Yanci was so angry at her appearance that his heart ached. He exhaled a breath of stale air: "Today at Yinghua, I ran into Xia Yaoyao's father."

Qin Zhao raised his eyelids slightly, his brows still furrowed.

Shen Yanci: "He went to Jiang Ye, wanting to get money from Jiang Ye."

Qin Zhao didn't care about her illness at all, and Xia Yaoyao didn't even know her gender, so what did it have to do with being honest?

She said, "I'm not as stupid as you think."

Shen Yanci: "What if he's worse than you think?"

He sighed: "He wants to slander your relationship with Xia Yaoyao and then blackmail you."

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids.

Shen Yanci: "He already knows about the school; he's been squatting there for a long time today."

The kind of person he is, willing to risk everything and unafraid of making a scene. Greed knows no bounds; if he succeeds once, he'll definitely try many more times.

Qin Zhao felt relieved.

Sure enough, even God couldn't stand seeing a swindler like her continue to deceive people.

Shen Yanci: "School starts soon. The best way is for you to tell Aunt Qin and the others your true identity first."

"Mmm." Qin Zhao was unusually obedient. "I will tell you. I was going to tell you anyway."

Seeing her like this, Shen Yanci felt a pang of heartache.

He hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, Zhaozhao. No one will blame you. You are their child, and they love you too much to ask."

Having simulated these words in his mind countless times, Qin Zhao could no longer cry upon hearing them; he only felt a slight pain.

Shen Yanci: "Leave Xia Yaoyao's father's matter to me. Don't worry, I'll still accompany you to and from school every day, just like before."

"no need."
