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

Chapter 236

Shen Yanci: "I will send you instructions on how to care for flowers, and I will also give you the necessary supplies. You can do this every day—"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Or send me a photo in a couple of days so I can see how it is. I'll let you know when it needs adjusting."

"If you put your heart into it, it will bloom."

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids slightly: "If it withers in the end, it's my problem, it has nothing to do with you."

He looked at her, his eyes sparkling with tiny lights.

For a moment, Qin Zhao seemed to see Shen Yanci at eighteen years old again.

She looked at him for a few seconds, then said softly, "Okay."

Shen Yanci's lips curled slightly, he rested his elbow on the window, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Thank you for your trouble."

Light and flowing music poured from the speakers, and a gentle female voice seemed to be singing a love letter.

Shen Yanci started the car: "Then I'll take you home now."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

Shen Yanci casually turned up the volume, and the energetic and rhythmic drumbeats and synthesizer sounds filled the entire carriage.

Qin Zhao glanced at the monitor—the song's title, "Love Message".

She lowered her eyelashes: "Songs from your playlist?"

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids and glanced at it: "No, it's random."

Two seconds later, he said, "It sounds pretty good."

Shen Yanci drove the car to the building where Qin Zhao lived.

Her schoolbag, medicine, gardenias, and gardening supplies were too much for one person to carry.

"Shall I take you upstairs?" Shen Yanci glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, paused for two seconds, "Or will you have to make the trip twice?"

Qin Zhao glanced behind him, his fingers twitching slightly: "Aren't you going to move your flowers?"

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "Move."

It was still a bit chilly at night, and Qin Zhao hunched his shoulders.

Shen Yanci glanced at her, bent down, took out a small first-aid kit from the back seat, and handed it to her: "Go inside and open the door for me."

Qin Zhao hesitated before taking the medicine box: "Don't you need me to carry it?"

Shen Yanci: "Then what should I do?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "I didn't say I would move everything myself."

Shen Yanci: "Just open the door for me."

He put all the things for growing flowers into the storage box.

He followed Qin Zhao into the elevator.

She had Qin Zhao's schoolbag slung over her shoulder, a storage box in one hand, and a gardenia in the other.

Perhaps because of his height and broad, upright shoulders, these things didn't seem to make him look bad at all; instead, they accentuated his sense of control.

Qin Zhao glanced at his own backpack on his shoulder and his fingers twitched slightly.

As if sensing her gaze, Shen Yanci lowered his head slightly, lifted his eyelids, and looked at her.

The clean and bright elevator reflected their two shadows.

The elevator, which usually feels spacious, suddenly seemed smaller, and even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.

Ding--

Qin Zhao: "We've arrived."

Lanting Bay is a one-unit-per-floor building. When it was designed, Qin Qiong transformed the elevator lobby into an entrance hall and storage/bathroom space. The overall style is white and minimalist, with a few dolls and small ornaments displayed in the cabinets.

There are also autographed photos of Lin Shi.

"..."

Shen Yanci felt a chill run down his spine as he watched her change her shoes next to him.

They looked like a couple returning home from outside.

The kind that's already married.

Qin Zhao noticed his strange expression and raised his eyelashes in confusion.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed as he pointed at Lin Shi's autographed photo: "Why put up his picture? To ward off evil spirits?"

"..."

Qin Zhao: "I guess so."

Lin Shi said he could protect her.

Qin Zhao looked at Shen Yanci at the elevator entrance and noticed that wherever he was, the space seemed to shrink.

She belatedly realized that their situation was now somewhat delicate.

Shen Yanci looked at her: "Where should I put it?"

Qin Zhao looked around the elevator lobby and hesitated whether or not to let him in.

Shen Yanci: "Then I'll leave it here. You can deal with it yourself later." Qin Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Come in, I don't know where you put your flowers."

Shen Yanci raised her eyelids slightly. Qin Zhao said, "Only Lin Shi's slippers, the bottom pair."

Qin Zhao opened the door.

This apartment has 41 square meters of floor space, four bedrooms, an open-plan leisure area, a master bedroom, a secondary bedroom, and the remaining space was converted into Qin Zhao's walk-in closet and study. The decor is in a clean, French style.

Shen Yanci placed the storage box and gardenia on the balcony.

There was a small wooden round table on the balcony.

Shen Yanci: "It likes light and ventilation, and needs 4-6 hours of diffused sunlight every day. It cannot be exposed to direct sunlight."

"If you want to see it when it blooms, you can put it over on the coffee table."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

"Don't water too much, just enough to moisten the soil without waterlogging." He demonstrated, "Insert your finger about 2cm into the soil, down to your knuckle, and let it dry completely before watering again."

When their eyes met, Shen Yanci's gaze fell on her lips, then he quickly closed his eyes and stepped back.

His car was only parked temporarily; he couldn't stay for too long.

He said, "I'm leaving."

Qin Zhao escorted him to the elevator lobby.

Shen Yanci: "You don't need to see me off."

Qin Zhao: "I'll close the door."

"..."

When the elevator doors opened, Qin Zhao pursed his lips and said, "Drive carefully, and text me when you arrive."

Shen Yanci paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Okay."

He got into the elevator.

Suddenly, she lifted her eyelids and smiled at Qin Zhao: "Good night, see you tomorrow."

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

Since their reunion, Shen Yanci seems to have barely smiled, let alone smiled at her.

She was momentarily dazed.

Qin Zhao closed the door and went back to his room.

I walked and walked until I reached the balcony.

Shen Yanci's gardenias were just sitting there.

It is now the period when new branches are growing rapidly, with lush, glossy leaves and small green flower buds hidden among them, exuding a sense of vitality.

It's in even better condition than when he bought it.

She rested her head on her arm, leaning on the table, and touched a leaf with her finger.

The warm light shone down, and the gardenias cast their shadows in her clear, shallow eyes.
-
Gardenias... I really like them.

Shen Yanci likes gardenias.

Qin Zhao took a quick shower and sat there drying his hair while playing on his phone.

A message popped up on my phone.

Shen Yanci: "I've arrived."

Qin Zhao replied with an "okay".

Shen Yanci: What time do I get up tomorrow?

Qin Zhao tapped the keyboard twice, then deleted: "I have an early morning shift tomorrow, don't you want to sleep in a little longer?"

Shen Yanci: "I want to eat wontons."

Shen Yanci: "I won't be able to eat it once I go back to England."

Qin Zhao held his phone and typed: "7 o'clock."

Shen Yanci: "Okay."

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs at your place tomorrow."

Qin Zhao's fingers curled up slightly.

Two seconds passed.

Shen Yanci: "Take me to eat the wontons in your cafeteria."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "You really like our cafeteria."

Two seconds passed on the other end.

Sent back a message.

"Yes, I like it."
