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

Chapter 34 My Room
"..."

Although the problem was barely resolved, Qin Zhao was not in a good mood.

The light shone on her hair, casting a shadow on her face.

She hung her head, lost her appetite, and picked at the rice in her bowl.

My whole being seemed to have returned to a gray and gloomy state.

Seeing this, Qin Qiong, as always, piled a lot of food on her plate: "Zhaozhao, eat more."

Xia Zhirou's eyes darted around: "Aunt, why do you only serve food to Brother Zhaozhao, but not to Brother Zhaozhao?"

She bit her chopsticks and said, "Auntie, you can't neglect your brother just because Zhao Zhao is back. He's your first son. How painful it is for him if you do this."

Lin Zheng seemed to be thinking, then picked up the serving chopsticks: "Feeling unwell? Dad will get you some."

"..."

Looking at the mountain of food piled up in Qin Zhao's bowl, Lin Shi scoffed, "He eats like a pig every day."

"What are you looking at, you brat? Didn't I put some on your plate?" Qin Qiong had not only put some on his plate, but also on everyone else's. "You said you didn't need any, and now what kind of look is that?"

“Brother is just saying that, he doesn’t mean it,” Xia Zhirou said understandingly.

"You're just saying one thing and meaning another, aren't you?" Qin Qiong raised an eyebrow and immediately piled a bunch of food onto Lin Shi's plate. "You should have said so earlier, Mom would have given you more. Is this enough for my son? Is this enough for my son?"

Lin Shi closed his eyes speechlessly. What nonsense was Xia Zhirou talking about? How was he supposed to eat this?
"Son, do you want some shrimp?"

"Son, would you like some caramelized walnuts?"

"Son, do you want some salad?"

"Oh dear." Lin Shi moved the bowl aside. "She's a pig, but I'm not!"

Qin Zhao, who was inexplicably scolded: "..."

"If she's a pig, what are you?" Lin Zheng said seriously. "Eat up, you heartbroken boy who says one thing but means another. My wife put this on your plate, so eat it all up."

"..."

After finishing her meal and resting, Xia Zhirou asked Aunt Wang to move her suitcase to the second floor.

Aunt Wang: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhirou, there are no rooms on the second floor. Your room is on the first floor."

"Why are there no rooms on the second floor?" Xia Zhirou looked at Aunt Wang with displeasure. Did this woman think she was easy to fool? "Where is my room?"

"Miss Zhirou, are you mistaken? There are only four owners here, and only the rooms for the Madam, Mr. and Mrs., Xiaoshi, and Zhaozhao. The guest room is on the first floor." Aunt Wang's face was polite and respectful, but her mind was filled with complaints.

This person is really shameless; they let you stay for two days and actually act like it's their own home.

Aunt Wang was starting to admire the little girl's thick skin.

A flash of anger crossed Xia Zhirou's eyes. It was that bastard again, stealing her room!

Aunt Wang: "Then I'll take your things to the guest room on the first floor."

"Who said I was going to live on the first floor?" Xia Zhirou said with a disdainful smile. She thought that even a bastard child wanted to take away her things.

She shuffled up to the second floor in her slippers.

He went straight to Qin Zhao's room and opened the door abruptly.

Qin Zhao thought it was Qin Qiong, but when he saw Xia Zhirou, he pursed his lips and said, "Don't you know how to knock?"

She didn't care what Xia Zhirou thought of Lin Shi, and she could even pretend not to hear her behind her back.

But she shouldn't have ruined her image in front of Qin Qiong.

"Knock on the door?" Xia Zhirou walked into the room with the air of a hostess. "This has always been my room."

Qin Qiong, that woman, even renovated the room.

"Really? This is my room now. I'm going to sleep. Please leave."

"You haven't been back long, have you?" Xia Zhirou looked around the room's decor, a hint of jealousy flashing across her face. "This has always been my room. My uncle and aunt both adore me; they treat me like their own daughter. Do you think if I said I liked this room, they'd tell you to give it to me?" "Why don't you be sensible and give it up willingly? You'll at least have a good reputation. Right, Brother Zhao Zhao?"

Qin Zhao looked calmly at her face, which was full of confidence: "But how come I remember that you are just the child of my great-great-grandfather's brother's child's child's child's child's child's distant cousin? You'd better not call me brother anymore. I'm not the stupid brother you're talking about. This trick won't work on me."

Her words were both a response and a warning; it revealed how she privately evaluated Lin Shi and how he evaluated her.

She has her weaknesses. If she's smart, she should behave herself and not provoke her.

Xia Zhirou just smiled and pretended not to understand: "What stupid brother? You wouldn't deliberately frame me because I told my uncle and aunt about what you did, would you? Would they believe someone who just came back not long ago, or someone who has watched me grow up?"

"As expected, can someone who grows up in a remote corner be anything good? Do you think your aunt and uncle will regret bringing you back? Brother Zhao Zhao—oh no, bastard." Xia Zhirou lowered her voice, her expression carrying a calm ferocity.

Qin Zhao's expression was cold as he grabbed Xia Zhirou's arm and threw her out.

"What are you doing!" Xia Zhirou shouted. She didn't expect Qin Zhao to be so ungentlemanly. He really was a bastard from a remote corner of the country, with no manners at all.

Just as she was about to accuse him, she caught a glimpse of Lin Shi's door out of the corner of her eye, and her voice trembled as she said, "Brother Zhao Zhao, please."

"What are you two doing?" Lin Shi frowned as he looked at the two people pulling and tugging at each other. He then looked at Qin Zhao and asked, "Qin Zhao, what kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?"

He walked over and said, "Let go! She's your sister."

"Damn it!" Qin Zhao said expressionlessly. "She's older than me."

"..."

Lin felt he had been insulted, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

“Anyway, we’re related by blood,” he added. “Distant relatives are still relatives.”

"..."

Is it really necessary to emphasize this so much? Xia Zhirou was a little dissatisfied. Would it kill her to say one less word?

Qin Zhao thought Lin Shi was crazy: "Look carefully, it's her who's grabbing me."

Lin Shi looked closely and saw that it was indeed Xia Zhirou's hand gripping Qin Zhao's arm.

Qin Zhao: "What were you thinking about me just now?"

"..."

Lin Shi coughed and said, "What are you two doing at the door instead of sleeping?"

Xia Zhirou switched to an innocent and pitiful expression: "I'm not a good sleeper, and I'm a little scared to sleep on the first floor. I don't feel safe. I wanted to ask Brother Zhao Zhao—"

"I'm not your brother."

Xia Zhirou cursed Qin Zhao a few times in her heart, and then gently continued, "I want to ask if Zhao Zhao can switch with me."

Qin Zhao: "No."

"..."

Xia Zhirou: "But I'm scared to sleep alone on the first floor."

Lin Shi spoke his mind: "Aunt Wang is also on the first floor, you're not alone."

"..."

For the first time, Qin Zhao felt that Lin Shi was incredibly stupid.

Xia Zhirou was unwilling to give up: "But I'm not used to it. I always stay in this room when I come here before. The first floor is too damp, and it makes me allergic. Besides,"

She looked at Lin Shi with misty eyes: "I'll feel safer with my brother upstairs."
