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

Chapter 225 Would you like to sit down for a while?
Qin Qiong flipped through the photo album: "It should be fine. Didn't you see him today?"

"And his heart—"

"Mom—" Lin Shi called out loudly as he shuffled down the stairs in his slippers, "Have you found the photos?"

"found it."

His photos are arranged clearly by year; you only need to choose two from several albums.

Lin Shi glanced at the photo Qin Qiong had taken out and clicked his tongue, "How come I was so good-looking even when I was a child?"

"..."

He held up two photos and looked at Qin Zhao: "Which one do you choose?"

Qin Zhao pointed to the one he was dressed up in: "Your fans will definitely recognize you at a glance."

Lin Shi then chose the one she mentioned: "There's no way around it, I've always been good-looking, I've never looked bad."

"..."

Lin Shi: "Are you going back to live near the school?"

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

"I finally get to come home for a few days, aren't you going to come home to stay?" He sighed, "I'm so bored by myself."

"I have an early morning."

"You don't get up at 8 every day."

Qin Zhao: We'll see then. I'll come back when I have time.

Around lunchtime, when school was about to let out, Lin Shi asked her if she wanted to play tennis.

She said, "...I'm in class."

Lin Shi: "Don't you have class this afternoon? Let Uncle Li pick you up."

Her last two classes in the afternoon were indeed free.

When I got on the bus, I was stunned to see Shen Yanci.

Kuang Xu, sitting in the passenger seat, stuck his head out and said, "Good afternoon, Qin Zhao. Are you surprised to see us?"

"..."

Kuang Xu glanced at the rearview mirror and feigned sadness, saying, "Your brother has so much influence. No matter how many times we ask you to come out, you won't. I was starting to think you were avoiding me."

Shen Yanci sat in the middle, leaving a space for him. Lin Shi leaned against the window, wearing a mask, hat, and sunglasses.

Not many people knew him to begin with, but now people will have to take a second look at him.

Lin Shi: "What's wrong?"

She lowered her eyelids and got into the car.

She still carried the chill of early spring, and her scent mingled with it, dominating someone's breath.

No matter how spacious a car is, it's still only so big.

Especially considering how tall he and Lin Shi were, when she fastened her seatbelt, she would inevitably bump into his body.

Shen Yanci half-closed his eyelids, and his fingers twitched slightly.

They went to a club not far from their school. It was a Monday afternoon, and the venue was not crowded.

Kuang Xu: "How do we play?"

“2 vs 2,” Lin Shi said, taking off his mask. “Qin Zhao and I are on the same team.”

Kuang Xu: "Why aren't you on my team?"

"I'm used to fighting Qin Zhao."

"Then you two should separate. Being too in sync is unfair to us."

"You're so lame now."

Kuang Xu glanced at Shen Yanci, whose gaze had been secretly following someone: "It's Shen Yanci Xun."

"Didn't Shen Yanci do a pretty good job?"

"..."

Having her hair down was a bit of a hassle, so Qin Zhao asked a waiter at the club for a hair tie and tied it into a simple ponytail.

It wasn't tied properly; a strand of hair wasn't secured, and a bump appeared on her head.

Finally, a young lady helped her re-tie it.

She smiled and thanked the young lady; she had originally intended to use her baseball cap to cover herself.

She looked up and met a pair of dark eyes.

When she looked at him again, his eyelids were already closed.

Kuang Xu exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, so beautiful! Where did this fairy come from?"

Lin Shih said without any modesty, "She's like her brother."

"..."

Shen Yanci didn't say anything, just stood quietly to the side.

Lin Shi looked at Qin Zhao: "Who do you want to be paired with?"

Kuang Xu warned in advance, "Don't choose your brother, that's no fun." Qin Zhao looked at him with her clear eyes and said in a low voice, "You."

"..."

Kuang Xu glanced at Shen Yanci subconsciously, looking completely innocent.

Shen Yanci had little expression, and his lips were drawn low.

Kuang Xu said in a cheeky tone, "Why did you choose me and not your brother Yan Ci?"

Lin Shi also looked at her. Haven't they made up yet?
Qin Zhao looked at him calmly: "Are you bad at basketball? I need to give a reason for choosing you."

"..."

Kuang Xu slung his tennis racket over his shoulder: "Facts will prove you have excellent judgment."

Twenty minutes later, Kuang Xu glanced at the silent Shen Yanci and rubbed his knees.

Did anyone tell him that this was a friendly match?

He pondered for two seconds: "Lin Shi, I think you can team up with Qin Zhao."

"..."

During halftime, they were all sweating.

Shen Yanci took the water and handed one bottle to Qin Zhao.

He had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

Qin Zhao took it and moved his mouth slightly: "Would you like to sit for a while?"

Her voice was so soft that Shen Yanci wondered if he was hallucinating.

He lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at her.

Qin Zhao called out to Lin Shi and Kuang Xu, "Brother, Brother Kuang Xu, there are chairs here to rest."

After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he took a small sip of water.

Shen Yanci tapped the water bottle with his fingers and sat down next to her.

They weren't very close, but just enough to fill each other's peripheral vision.

The young people recovered quickly, and they soon went back to playing.

Qin Zhao: "If anyone feels unwell while playing ball, please let us know in advance."

Lin Shi: "As long as you're not feeling unwell, that's fine."

The pace wasn't fast afterwards; Qin Zhao and Shen Yanci were on opposite sides of the track.

When you win, you'll give a high-five.

Qin Zhao and Kuang Xu also high-fived, and the pace inexplicably picked up again.

When they switched sides, Kuang Xu said, "Qin Zhao, don't move. I'll switch with Shen Yanci. Let's change the feel of the game."

Shen Yanci glanced at Qin Zhao and then switched places with Kuang Xu.

As the two passed by, Kuang Xu raised an eyebrow at him, his lips still slightly parted.

Kuang Xu and Lin Shi shook hands and bumped shoulders: "Bro, it's time to show our teamwork and our strength."

Lin Shi sang and gestured, "Let them put in less effort, the championship is ours."

"..."

Shen Yanci: Which position do you want to play?

Qin Zhao: "At the net."

Net players generally work harder than baseline players. If net players can cover, baseline players can slack off.

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement: "Tell me when you want to change it."

The game continued. Since it was a friendly match, Lin Shi and Kuang Xu didn't go all out, and Qin Zhao intercepted many balls.

Tennis is generally quite energy-consuming. Shen Yanci would occasionally move to the net to change positions, but Qin Zhao blocked most of the time.

As they worked together to win a point, Shen Yanci's hand holding the tennis racket twitched slightly.

He walked up to Qin Zhao and gave him a high five.

Qin Zhao casually patted it.

Their palms touched briefly, and as they parted, their fingertips accidentally brushed against each other, causing a slight itch.

Shen Yanci's eyelashes fluttered, and he looked at her with his eyelids half-closed.

Lin Shi: "Shen Yanci, what are you doing? I'm about to serve."

Qin Zhao also looked at him, her face flushed from exercise.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed: "I'll play some net play."

……

It seems like newlywed couples have a hard time finding the right balance.
Is she normal?
Is it normal to let him sit?
Date: Month X, Day X
Princess Shen: I want to braid her hair.

Princess Shen: She touched my hand.

I'll post one chapter first today. I only slept for a little over three hours yesterday, and my head is still spinning. Everyone should get some rest too.

P.S.: What gifts would you like? Lipstick, pressed powder, a moon lamp, snacks, notebooks? There should be a raffle in June, so let me know if there are any prizes you'd like and I'll prepare them.
(Currently, I'm thinking of Make Up For Ever powder foundation, MAC lipstick/Into You lip mud gift set, and a moon lamp. Please let me know if you have any other good recommendations.)
