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

Chapter 204 My Brother's Friend
Lin Shi was speechless: "I was originally her brother."

Kuang Xu smiled, shook his head, and looked at the wine glass: "That's great, unlike me, no one cares when I'm drunk."

Lin Shi: "Call me 'Dad' and I'll take care of you."

"..."

Qin Zhao said something to Lin Shi and got up to go to the restroom.

Upon hearing Liang Shiyu call Shen Yanci's name, she asked, "Yanci, who was that girl just now? I don't think I've seen her before."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and heard Lin Shi say, "I'm Shen Yanci's good buddy."

Liang Shiyu smiled and said, "Which school are you from? I haven't seen you at previous events."

Kuang Xu: "Our Brother Shi is a big star, he came to visit his brothers."

"Oh, you're here for tourism."

……

Qin Zhao didn't want to go to the toilet, so he just washed his hands.

She started to space out while washing her clothes until her phone vibrated twice. Thinking it was Qin Qiong, she took out her phone and realized it was Lin Jiashu.

The message I sent her the day before was asking if she could answer the phone because it was urgent.

She casually pressed the answer button, placed her phone on the sink, and pulled out a tissue.

"Zhaozhao, the school is holding a Spring Festival event for students staying on campus these days. The schedule for the article needs to be changed, and we need to rewrite an article."

Qin Zhao said "okay".

"It needs to be sent out on the day of the Spring Festival."

When will the pictures be released?

"Lunar New Year's eve."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

Lin Jiashu seemed a little embarrassed: "Do you have time? If not, I can come instead."

Qin Zhao paused for half a second, thought about the credits, and sighed, "I have time."

"That's good. I was worried about bothering you." Lin Jiashu smiled. "I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."

"Need not."

"Yes, I need it." Lin Jiashu seemed to suddenly remember something. "Are you still in England?"

"Correct."

"Could you please bring me a Paddington Bear plush toy? My sister keeps asking for one."

Qin Zhao said "okay".

She looked in the mirror; the medications were all non-hormonal, so they were a bit slow to take effect.

Her eyelids and face were a little red and swollen, and the hives on the side of her neck had not yet subsided. She was wearing a large coat.

She lowered her eyelids.

Lin Jiashu: "Thank you for your trouble. I'll also have a gift for you when you come back. When are you returning to China?"

Qin Zhao was somewhat lost in thought.

"Zhao Zhao?"

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

"Are you busy?" Lin Jiashu smiled. "Is it evening in England?"

"Hmm, it's past 8 o'clock."

"when are you going back to China?"

"It'll be ready soon." Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes, her voice a little low, then exhaled. "If you need it urgently, I can send it back for you."

"No rush," Lin Jiashu said. "Let's talk about it when you get back. Have fun. Contact me anytime if you have any questions about the manuscript."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Just as Qin Zhao was about to hang up the phone, he looked up and met a pair of pitch-black eyes in the mirror.

Shen Yanci had appeared at the doorway at some point.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids, took out a tissue to wipe the water droplets on the back of his phone, and moved his finger to the hang-up position.

"Zhao Zhao—" Lin Jiashu suddenly called out to her.

Shen Yanci strode in, his 1.87-meter height almost blocking out the light, his voice low and magnetic: "Finished washing?"

Lin Jiashu's voice stopped abruptly.

Shen Yanci turned on the tap as if she hadn't noticed anything and looked at Qin Zhao: "Which one is hand sanitizer?"

"..."

Qin Zhao glanced at him, puzzled, and ignored him.

She turned off the speakerphone and put the phone to her ear: "Senior, I'm hanging up."

Lin Jiashu: "Was that boy your brother?" Qin Zhao pursed her lips and squeezed her phone. Just when Lin Jiashu thought she wouldn't answer, she spoke up: "My brother's friend."

He can only be Lin Shi's friend.

Lin Jiashu smiled and said, "Today is Lunar New Year's Eve in China. Happy Lunar New Year's Eve."

Qin Zhao paused for a moment. Tomorrow, Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng would also fly from France to London, and the whole family would celebrate the New Year together.

Her mood softened slightly: "Happy Lunar New Year's Eve."

She hung up the phone, and they were already playing games on the other end.

Someone asked Liang Shiyu what kind of person she likes.

She had a teasing, feigned-angry smile on her face, tinged with a girlish shyness: "I like intellectual men, over 1.85 meters tall, and good-looking. They have to be better than me; I have to admire them."

One boy complained, "Why do you girls all like this kind of superficial thing? How many men like that are there in the whole world?"

"Of course there is! Shiyu just said what someone said, hahaha."

The person next to him whispered something in the boy's ear, and he suddenly realized: "No wonder your project team stood me up last time. I naively thought you thought Shen Yanci's project was better than mine! Turns out you just lost face!"

"You didn't win the project either."

"..."

The girl next to Liang Shiyu nudged her: "Someone's here."

Fu Xu pulled Shen Yanci along, and then Qin Zhao over as well: "Come on, let's play a game."

Next to Qin Zhao is Shen Yanci, and next to Shen Yanci is Liang Shiyu.

Qin Zhao was a little annoyed; before her hand even touched the wine glass, it was taken away.

A glass of juice appeared in front of me.

Shen Yanci didn't look at her: "Lin Shi won't let you drink it."

The commotion was minimal, completely drowned out by the voices of others. Liang Siyu, standing next to her, suppressed her laughter and glanced at Qin Zhao a few more times.

Someone brought up the topic of graduation: "Did you go back to your home country after graduation or what?"

Where is President Shen?

Fu Xu interrupted, "President Shen applied for a combined UK and UK master's program, and his business has all moved to Europe, so it must be the UK."

"Are you all pursuing master's degrees? I have absolutely no desire to write a thesis."

This sparked a wave of complaints.

"Where's Shiyu? Is she doing her internship in London?"

“Yes.” Liang Shiyu smiled, then glanced at Shen Yanci. “I also plan to stay in England.”

Qin Zhao paused for two seconds, then got up to go find Lin Shi.

Lin Shizheng and Kuang Xu had a good time drinking.

Qin Zhao: "Drink less."

Lin Shi: "It's nothing. I'm happy to see Kuang Zi after so long."

Kuang Xu raised his wine glass: "Come on, let me toast my sister."

"..."

Lin Shi: "Get out!"

"Isn't your sister my sister too?"

“You are my son, you should call Qin Zhao Auntie.”

"..."

"You bastard, you're getting addicted to taking advantage of me! Fine, then I'll call your dad grandpa then!"

"..."

Qin Zhao tugged at Lin Shi's sleeve: "Mom and Dad are arriving in London tomorrow. Should we go back tonight?"

Lin Shi: "There's enough time tomorrow."

Qin Zhao: "I have a manuscript to write."

Lin Shi: "Are you student council members all perverts? What are you writing articles for during the Lunar New Year? Is that your department head? Give me his phone number."

"..."

Kuang Xu: "That's right! Students are not free labor."

Qin Zhao: "My shift has been scheduled. You go back tomorrow, and I'll go back today."

"What time is it? What article can't be written tomorrow?" Lin Shi snorted. "Can't you write it here?"

"I need to use the computer."

"You used Shen Yanci's name!" Lin Shi shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shen Yanci!"

"..."

Sorry, the next chapter won't be until 2 AM (at least...).
I wrote one version, it was a bit angsty, so I deleted it.
