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

Chapter 33 Brother Zhao Zhao, don't be angry

With such big breasts, doesn't she feel heavy?
Xia Zhirou saw where Qin Zhao's gaze had fallen, and knowingly puffed out her chest, her eyes filled with smugness.

Qin Zhao's lips twitched. He grabbed his clothes and pulled them out of Xia Zhirou's hands: "If your back doesn't feel good, go see a doctor. Be careful not to twist it, cousin."

"..."

Xia Zhirou stared in disbelief at Qin Zhao's departing figure, beginning to question the meaning of life. How could this be different from what her socialite class teacher had taught her? How could any man refuse such advances!

After thinking for a moment, she hid in the bathroom and called her mother to explain the current situation. Lin Zheng and his family were her family's cash cow, and she couldn't afford to mess them up.

“That’s just someone who looks a lot like you. You would never be in a place like that.” Lin Wanhua quickly came up with a solution.

"If she insists on accusing you, it's because she doesn't get along with you and is framing you," Lin Wanhua patiently explained. "You're innocent, understand? Also, you need to know how to leverage situations. One conflict can be overshadowed by an even bigger one. There are countless examples of brothers fighting amongst themselves..."

After playing basketball, Lin Shi was covered in sweat. When he got home, he went straight to the refrigerator and opened a bottle of Coke with one hand.

"Brother, you're back!"

Upon hearing Xia Zhirou's voice, Lin Shi gave a faint "hmm" and tilted his head back to gulp down his drink.

"Wow, brother's muscles are getting better and better!" Xia Zhirou exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she showered him with compliments. "Did brother go play basketball? He'll definitely be the MVP, the kind who dominates the whole court!"

Lin Shi said it was alright, but the muscles in his arms were taut even more.

Nothing has changed at all. Child psychology can completely control him. Xia Zhirou's smile carried a hint of smugness.

After playing basketball and working up a sweat, Lin Shi stretched out his long legs and sprawled on the sofa to play video games.

After playing two rounds, he felt thirsty again. He glanced at Qin Zhao out of the corner of his eye, without even looking up, and said, "Hey you, get me a bottle of Coke."

Qin Zhao didn't hear what he was saying at all.

Lin Shi clicked his tongue: "Didn't I tell you to get me a Coke? Where's the Coke?"

Qin Zhao looked left and right, making sure the man was talking to him, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Otherwise, what am I supposed to do? Talk to a ghost?"

"Oh, you're really amazing."

"..."

Qin Zhao completely ignored the message and didn't seem to care at all about helping Lin Shi get the cola.

It seems that the two of them don't get along at all.

Xia Zhirou seized the opportunity, cleared her throat at the right moment, and said softly, "Brother just asked you to get a Coke, do you have to be so sarcastic to him?"

"My brother is the best. I'll do whatever he asks me to do."

Qin Zhao was silent for two seconds before slowly saying, "Then go and get it for him?"

"..."

Why don't you follow the routine?

Xia Zhirou wanted to get angry but suppressed it. She pursed her lips aggrievedly and looked at Lin Shi cautiously, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to. She looked like she was being bullied but didn't dare to speak up: "Brother Zhao Zhao, don't be angry. I'll go get it for you."

Ok?
Qin Zhao was amazed; this "3 Sister" really had several personas every day.

Lin Shi clicked his tongue and looked at Qin Zhao with displeasure: "Why are you bullying a girl?"

"Fool, biting dog," Xia Zhirou was absolutely right about him. No wonder people treat him like an idiot.

Qin Zhao suddenly found it a little funny, but she held it in and said in an extremely calm tone, "How did I bully her? Letting her get the cola is bullying her, then are you bullying me?"

One sentence silenced Lin Shi.

Qin Zhao didn't say anything offensive. He stubbornly retorted, "She's a guest. How can you make a guest run errands? Don't you have any manners?"

Xia Zhirou's expression was a little forced. Although Lin Shi had stood up for her, the word "guest" in that clearly defined distinction still bothered her.

"You keep calling me 'that person,' you're the most polite of all," Qin Zhao said calmly, dissecting the situation. "Besides, you're the one who wanted a Coke, and she's the one who treated it like a good little sister. I didn't get anything in return, yet I'm the one being criticized for being impolite. Does that make sense?"

As the tense atmosphere gradually calmed down, Xia Zhirou twisted her skirt and said weakly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was taught from a young age that younger siblings should listen to their older siblings, and that's how it is with other children. I thought Brother Zhao Zhao respected and admired his older brother just like I do... I didn't expect him to be unwilling to help with such a small thing and to make such a big deal out of it."

Right, he just asked Qin Zhao to get a bottle of Coke, did she have to make such a big deal out of it?
Lin Shi frowned more and more deeply. "He's supposed to be my younger brother? He's not even willing to help with such a small thing. He's not even as good as a guest."

He grew increasingly annoyed with Qin Zhao: "You asked me to bring a bottle of cola, why did you waste so much time talking?"

"It seems like Brother Zhao Zhao doesn't have any feelings for Brother Zhao Zhao."

"It's not that she's emotionless, she just uses all her emotions to curry favor with others." Lin Shi snorted, calling Yan Ci "brother" more and more affectionately with each word.

"At least no one will set dogs on me," Qin Zhao said coldly.

The subtle atmosphere continued until they reached the dining table. Qin Qiong's gaze swept between the two men, and she exchanged a glance with Lin Zheng.

After realizing the atmosphere was tense, Qin Qiong looked at Lin Shi and said, "Son, hand me a tissue."

Lin Shi casually handed over the tissue box.

"Get one for Zhaozhao."

Lin Shi glanced at her, then casually tossed the tissue box back into place: "It's not like she doesn't have hands."

Lin Zheng: "How can you talk like that?"

Lin Shi snorted, his face full of resentment: "That's right. Why should I hand her a tissue if she won't help me get my Coke?"

"..."

Qin Qiong was surprised that it was over such a small matter, and the two smiled at each other.

"When did our son become so stingy?"

Lin Shi felt embarrassed by the teasing and was about to hand the tissue box back to him.

Xia Zhirou spoke up: "Aunt, you don't understand. It's not my brother's fault at all. It's Brother Zhao Zhao. She...she..."

She hesitated, her emotions reaching another peak.

"What's wrong with her?" Qin Qiong's smile didn't reach his eyes.

Xia Zhirou seemed a little scared, but mustered up her courage and said, "She played a prank on my brother by putting a lot of chili water and wasabi in his skewers, which made his throat sore. She doesn't treat him like a brother at all... Only an enemy would do something like that."

These were all things Lin Shi and Qin Zhao said during their argument, though she only made a few minor embellishments.

Qin Zhao lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng.

Even though Lin Shi provoked her first, she was just retaliating.

But Qin Qiong was too good to her, and she didn't want to see any disappointment on her face.

Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the chopsticks, and after a few seconds she finally found her voice: "That was for me, my brother took it by mistake."

"Your hobby is quite unique." Lin Shi's lips twitched.

"Thank you. If you like it, I'll share it with you next time."
