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

Chapter 3 Her brother seems to be very capable.
She's been a boy for so long that she's almost forgotten she's a girl.

Her childhood memories are not very clear, and most of them were not pleasant.

But her grandmother told her that she couldn't let anyone find out she was a girl, especially Jiang Dahai.

She doesn't understand.

When she grew a little older, she saw that almost all the families around her favored sons over daughters. Her older sister dropped out of school, married young to support her family and younger brother, but she couldn't get any favoritism from the adults.

Because they are boys, they have reasons for everything they do. Girls, on the other hand, are more like commodities and outlets for venting their emotions.

She then understood her grandmother's good intentions.

She occasionally has a dream in which she is sold by someone who claims to be her mother, and because she is a girl, she is returned many times.

She dreamt again that her gender had been discovered, and Jiang Dahai gave her a sinister smile, saying that she would no longer be allowed to go to school and that he would sell her.

She had another nightmare that night. She dreamt of men in the cramped streets whistling maliciously and laughing lewdly at girls passing by. She dreamt of Jiang Dahai being furious. She dreamt of Qin Qiong discovering her identity, asking her why she lied to her, and saying he would send her away.

Grandma Jiang cried and questioned her, "Didn't I tell you not to tell anyone?!"

She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't until the sweat on her back dried in the wind and she felt a chill that she came to her senses.

Looking down at the corset around her chest, she took a deep breath.

Qin Qiong took her to the new school and helped her complete the enrollment procedures.

All the schools in her memory had vermilion walls.

The new school is different. Yinghua International High School has a white facade, and the overall building color scheme is white and light brown. The school emblem, in blue, white, and red, hangs on the wall, and the school's name is written in English.

If you don't tell her this is a school, she'll think it's some kind of tourist attraction.

Qin Qiong took her on a tour, telling her to ask her teachers and classmates if she didn't understand anything, and that she could call her directly if she needed anything.

"Your brother will be back from the competition this afternoon. If you have any questions, just ask him. He's easy to get along with. After school, the driver will pick you up where we just parked."

Qin Zhao was already 17 years old, but Qin Qiong still seemed to treat her like a baby, explaining everything to her in great detail.

Yinghua's classrooms are not large, with only about twenty students in a class.

After she finished introducing herself, she sat down in the last row.

The girl sitting in front of her was named Jiang Man. She greeted her familiarly with a knowing smile on her face.

There was no malice intended, but she just felt something was off.

After learning that she had transferred from a public school, he enthusiastically introduced her to the school: "Don't listen to what they say about international schools being subpar. Our school is very strict. There are small tests, big tests, and all kinds of competitions every day. It's exhausting."

Jiang Man rested her chin on her hand, looked him over, and clicked her tongue: "Actually, you're quite good-looking."

"Ok?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like you."

"..."

"No." Jiang Man covered her mouth in annoyance. "What I mean is, you're too skinny, not my type. You don't need to worry."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Actually, it's fine if you don't explain.

“Men are everywhere, but handsome men are rare.” Jiang Man recited his self-composed rhyme in a serious tone. “The same goes for Yinghua. If we’re talking about the top looks in Yinghua, it has to be the Yinghua twin stars—Shen Yanci and Lin Shi.”

Lin Shi, isn't that her brother?
Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng were both top-notch in looks, so Lin Shi must be just as good-looking.

Qin Zhao tilted his head slightly: "So, you like it?"

"Yes, I like them both."

"..."

"I like them both, not that I like them both." Jiang Man tilted her chin slightly, her eyes sparkling. "Never mind, you wouldn't understand my happiness." It was a little hard to understand.

Yinghua Campus has a very nice environment. After Qin Zhao finished his physical education class, he started to stroll around the campus.

Suddenly, she heard cheers from the crowd. Turning around, she saw a bus slowly driving by.

She was a little curious.

A low voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Brother!”

Hey buddy!

Qin Zhao looked at the stone at his feet, then looked toward the source of the sound, puzzled.

The boy had a messy, spiky hairstyle, his entire face exposed to the air, and black mascara smudged under his eyes. He looked like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), not a good person, a scoundrel.

Seeing that Qin Zhao was looking at him, he entrusted him with complete trust, saying, "When I jump down in a bit, you'll have to lend a hand."

Before Qin Zhao could reply, he muttered to himself that he was fine and jumped down from the wall...

"Damn it!" He clutched his chest, relieved to be alive, and glared at Qin Zhao with displeasure, saying righteously, "Didn't I tell you to lend a hand?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids: "I didn't agree."

"..."

"Forget it, I won't argue with you. There's a life-or-death matter right now." He glanced in the direction of the bus, his tone urgent. "Give me your school uniform, I'll return it to you later."

The more Qin Zhao looked at him, the more he felt that he was not a good person, and that he seemed stupid.

She walked past the boy and intended to leave.

She was grabbed and told, "Where are you going? Just take your clothes off here, there's no time to lose."

He then started to rip off Qin Zhao's clothes.

Qin Zhao frowned, shoved him, and shouted, "Teacher!"

"Holy crap, don't yell!" the boy cried out in a panic, trying to stop him like a circus performer.

The teacher looked over in response: "Hey, where did you come in from? You're the one in the silver jacket! Unauthorized personnel from other schools are not allowed to enter Yinghua!"

The boy clicked his tongue in annoyance, pulled up his jacket to cover his face, and said threateningly as he left, "Fine, you just wait!"

The teacher walked over: "I'm talking to you, don't run away! Are you a student? Which class are you in?"

He was about 1.85 meters tall. The way he walked away with his coat over his shoulder and his back bent had an indescribable comical quality.

People gradually got off the bus, and Qin Zhao realized that they must be students participating in the competition.

Was Lin Shih also in there?
She glanced around and her gaze fell on the people who had just gotten off the bus.

He was over 1.85 meters tall, with sharp features and a pair of black half-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, exuding a natural air of high intelligence.

It stands out in the crowd.

As soon as he got off the bus, he was surrounded: "The academic genius is amazing, another top prize!"

"With all these competitions combined, which Ivy League school wouldn't you get into?"

"Don't even mention it. One of the teachers for the competition is from Tsinghua University, and they're trying to poach someone, saying they have a guaranteed admission spot..."

Remembering what Jiang Man said, "The twin stars of Yinghua Yanba," he must be Lin Shi.

Her brother seems to be very capable.

Lin Shi: Qin Zhaozhao, look carefully! I'm your buddy!
