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

Chapter 206 Happy New Year
There is also Shen Yanci.

Qin Zhao suddenly realized that the pressure in his chest hadn't dissipated at all.

Shen Yanci has nothing to do with her anymore, but he has relationships with other members of her family, and they are all quite good relationships.

Qin Zhao saw Qin Qiong and ran over: "Mom!"

"I missed Mom so much." Qin Qiong hugged her and kissed her cheek.

Qin Zhao smiled and presented the flowers he had prepared to her and Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng was overjoyed: "Dad has one too."

Lin Shi was unsurprised: "Your son is still here."

Lin Zheng said, "Oh, you're here too."

"..."

Shen Yanci smiled and stepped forward to greet them, presenting them with the prepared bouquets.

Lin Zheng was somewhat surprised by his arrival: "Yan Ci is here too."

Qin Qiong was looking at Qin Zhao's face. His eyelids were still a little red and swollen. The rash had subsided a bit, but the phoenix-shaped rashes on the side of his neck and behind his ears were still clearly visible on his fair skin.

Qin Zhao adjusted his scarf: "It's alright. I've already taken the medicine; non-hormonal medications tend to heal a little slower."

Qin Qiong patted her head, clearly feeling sorry for her.

She looked at Shen Yanci and said gratefully, "This time, it's all thanks to Yanci for taking Zhaozhao to the hospital."

Shen Yanci nodded: "Of course."

“That’s right.” Lin Shi put his arm around Shen Yanci’s shoulder. “The three of us are good buddies. Qin Zhao is also his sister, after all.”

"..."

"You really don't hold back." Lin Zheng laughed. "Yan Ci, this older brother, is more reliable than you, his own brother."

Lin Shi chuckled, "Then I disagree. Qin Zhao, who treats you better, me or Shen Yanci?"

"..."

While chatting on the way, Qin Qiong invited Shen Yanci to stay for New Year's Eve dinner.

Qin Zhao stood beside her with her eyes lowered, her scarf covering most of her face.

"I have class this afternoon," Shen Yanci said. "I'll invite you and your uncle to dinner another day."

Lin Shi: "He's about to take his final exams."

Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng expressed their understanding and praised him a few more times.

Shen Yanci saw them off at the hotel but had to leave soon after. Qin Zhao and Lin Shi were asked to go downstairs to see him off.

Qin Zhao didn't say much along the way.

When Shen Yanci got into the car, Lin Shi hugged him and said, "Happy New Year, brother!"

Shen Yanci: "Happy New Year."

Qin Zhao pursed her lips and took two steps forward, standing next to Lin Shi: "Happy New Year."

Shen Yanci's eyelids were half closed as he looked up at her.

The two people's eyes met.

Their clear, dark eyes met, and the traffic and noise seemed to fade into the distance.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids and adjusted his scarf.

"Happy New Year."

Shen Yanci's voice wasn't loud, and the two of them weren't close. It was only four words, but it felt like more than two years had passed.

This is the third New Year since they settled their differences, and it is also one of the few times since they settled their differences that there has been no tension between them.

Qin Zhao's fingers twitched slightly; her allergy had flared up again, and her eyes felt a burning sensation.

Shen Yanci didn't hug her, glanced at her briefly, and got into the car with a straight line on his lips.

After the car disappeared from sight, Qin Zhao slowly followed Lin Shi back.

The wind felt a bit cold on my skin.

The room contained Lin Shi's suitcase from Oxford, which she had brought back.

Qin Zhao sighed and buried her face in the blanket.

The irregular crimson patches on her collarbone, with edges like watercolor washes, burned all the way to her ears with each breath.

Lin Shi brought two air purifiers to her room, and Qin Qiong praised him for his thoughtfulness.

Lin Shi didn't deny it at all: "Now you know how reliable I am, right?" The air purifier he brought was very similar to the one Shen Yanci had, which sometimes made Qin Zhao feel a little dazed.

Even after he left, his shadow still lingers.

They spent New Year's Eve in England, then went to Switzerland for a few days before returning to London.

I'll be going back to China in a few days.

Qin Zhao planned to bring some souvenirs, and Jiang Man wanted a teddy bear, the kind that wears a purple cloak with a crown printed on it.

She bought one when she came to England a few years ago, but lost it later. She couldn't remember exactly where she bought it.

Qin Zhao asked John, who suggested they check out Harrods and Royal Souvenir Shop.

Shen Yanci and Kuang Xu both came to London on Saturday.

They had dinner together and went out together on the weekend, but Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng did not come along.

Qin Zhao did not find the bear that Jiang Man had mentioned.

Lin Shi asked Shen Yanci and Kuang Xu if they knew anything about it, and Kuang Xu said he had no idea.

Shen Yanci turned his head away, his tone indifferent: "I don't know."

It's normal not to know, but his attitude clearly showed impatience.

Qin Zhao pursed her lips. She knew Shen Yanci had a reason to treat her badly, but she still felt a surge of anger inside.

His lips were downturned from the moment he went to Harrods.

She didn't force him to come.

Her expression also turned indifferent.

Lin Shi: "Don't look so gloomy, I'll order one for you another day."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement and forced a smile.

In the afternoon, they went to a specialty market, which Kuang Xu had suggested. Shen Yanci said it had antiques, secondhand books and vinyl records, handicrafts and independent designs, and so on.

Lin Shi: "Maybe there's a bear you're looking for inside."

Qin Zhao didn't care about the teddy bear at all, but once inside, she was still attracted by the unique little things inside.

They had no particular destination; they were just walking and taking pictures.

I ran into Liang Shiyu and the girl next to her at a vinyl record store.

"Yanci, what a coincidence, you're here too."

"You two, one in Oxford and one in London, how did you manage to run into each other?" The girl nudged Liang Shiyu suggestively, her voice low but clear. "I was wondering why you insisted on dragging me here."

Liang Shiyu smiled and said, "You're here too."

Qin Zhao felt a bit stuffy in the shop, so she pursed her lips, greeted them, and went outside.

Is London really that small?
There's a clown.

Qin Zhao stared at the clown by the roadside for a while, wondering why Lin Shi was taking so long to go to the toilet.

Shen Yanci, Kuang Xu, Liang Shiyu, and that girl all stood next to her, chatting and laughing.

Qin Zhao realized that his temper really wasn't as good as it used to be.

Can't a date be done in pairs? You're crazy!
She touched her purse and gave the clown five 50-pound notes.

The actor looked surprised and gestured for her to stand in front. She was puzzled, and the actor took her hand as if to kiss her.

Qin Zhao subconsciously pulled his hand back slightly.

The actor politely refrained from further action, offering only a graceful thank you and asking if she would like a photo taken together.

Qin Zhao thought for a moment, then turned around and found that all four of them were looking at her.

"..."

Qin Zhao: "Brother Kuang Xu, could you take a picture for me?"

Kuang Xu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Shen Yanci, and asked casually, "Why are you calling me 'brother'?"

"..."

Qin Zhao was struck dumb by the oil, and looked at him with a speechless expression.

Kuang Xu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze: "Are we still going to take pictures or not?"

He took two pictures of Qin Zhao, and then the three of them took a selfie.

When Kuang Xu pressed the shutter, he asked Qin Zhao, "Do you want to take a picture with your brother Yan Ci too?"

The next chapter is a little sweet, 40 minutes from now.
