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

Chapter 83 It's easy to coax someone.
Qin Zhao went to the kitchen and found two eggs and two tomatoes, and made a tomato and egg stir-fry noodle dish.

After she finished cooking, she miraculously felt no longer hungry.

After taking a couple of bites, I realized that the feeling I had just experienced was indeed an illusion.

She was eating noodles in the huge restaurant.

Lin Shi came over to get a Coke from the refrigerator, saw her, and scoffed, "So you do know you're hungry."

That's a stupid question.

Qin Zhao ignored him. Lin Shi opened a can of cola, took two sips, and then walked over to Qin Zhao and pulled up a chair.

Her mouth was stuffed full as she glanced at him.

The orange-red broth in the white porcelain bowl glistens with golden oil, and the bright red tomatoes, yellow eggs, and steaming noodles exude an enticing aroma.

Lin Shi: "Is it delicious?"

Qin Zhao frowned and glanced at him.

The next second, the chopsticks in his hand were snatched away, and Lin Shi picked up a mouthful of noodles and began to slurp them up.

"..."

Qin Zhao, ignoring the food still in his mouth, covered it and mumbled, "Lin Shi, are you crazy?!"

"What's wrong with me eating a bite of your noodles!"

"If you want to eat it, make it yourself."

"What's wrong with me eating a bite of your noodles!"

The two argued back and forth until the footsteps grew closer.

Only then did they look toward the source of the sound.

Shen Yanci said with a cold face: "Are you gay? You're so close."

"..."

Qin Zhao pushed the bowl directly to him: "I'm not eating, you eat it yourself!"

"you dislike me."

Shen Yanci: "Shouldn't you be disgusted?"

"..."

Qin Zhao thought Shen Yan had left, so she greeted him and planned to go back to her room to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yanci followed her upstairs. She thought he was going to Lin Shi's room, until he followed her to her room door...

Qin Zhao: "Brother Yanci, is there something you need?"

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids slightly and said succinctly, "Tutoring."

"..."

Shen Yanci is truly a competent teacher; he cares about her IELTS score even more than Qin Qiong does.

But Ms. Shen, why don't you check what time it is now?

Qin Zhao opened his mouth, then hesitated, saying, "Brother Yanci, I'm a little tired today and want to rest."

She pretended to yawn, and actually yawned.

Shen Yanci: "Tired?"

"Uh-huh."

"I'm tired too. I don't want to bother with anything, so I'll sleep at your place tonight."

Qin Zhao nodded.

"Good night."

She opened the door, and Shen Yanci followed her in.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

"Lend me a set of pajamas."

"..."

As Shen Yanci was about to enter the bathroom, Qin Zhao quickly stopped him, saying, "Brother Yanci, the guest rooms are on the first floor."

“I don’t like sleeping on the first floor, and it’s not good to have Aunt Wang make the bed so late. I’ll make do with you for the night.”

"No."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and softened his tone: "What I mean is, I have a bad sleeping posture, and I'm afraid of disturbing your rest."

Tomorrow is Sunday.

It means I'm not afraid of you bothering me.

“Besides,” Shen Yanci glanced at her, “it’s not like we haven’t slept together before.”

"..."

"Didn't you just try to hug me? Here's your chance."

"..."

"Can you sleep with Lin Shi? His room is very nice."

Under Shen Yanci's rather imposing gaze, Qin Zhao's drowsiness vanished: "Or I can help you make the bed."

She herself didn't realize that her anxiety and resistance were showing on her face.

Shen Yanci lowered his eyelids: "What if I say no to everything?"

Qin Zhao opened her mouth, then closed it again, looking at Shen Yanci, hoping he would change the subject and not make things difficult for her. The two remained in this stalemate.

"Okay." Perhaps due to her period and a series of worries, her tone was somewhat abrupt. "You sleep here, I'll go to the guest room on the first floor, alright?"

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly, his dark eyes looking at her.

Qin Zhao regretted what she had said, but she didn't want to coax him.

Shen Yanci said sarcastically, "I didn't know I was so annoying to you."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Shen Yanci looked at her for two more seconds, then turned and left.

She wanted to explain, but was afraid that Shen Yanci would want to sleep at her place, so she turned her head away from him.

Wait until he closes the door.

Qin Zhao showed no sign of relief. She stomped her foot and exclaimed, "So annoying!"

Lin Shi finished eating and happened to run into Shen Yanci coming downstairs. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

He casually asked, "You haven't left yet?"

Shen Yanci scoffed, "Right away! You're really an eyesore to your family."

"..."

"Are you out of your mind?" Lin Shi scoffed, muttering under his breath, "You're crazy."

Shen Yanci scoffed again: "Who can compare to you lunatics!"

She acted as if she depended on him too much, saying with a wronged expression that she wanted to hug him.

One minute they're treating him like some kind of filthy thing, avoiding him like the plague.

Lin Shi exclaimed, "Shen Yanci, you've been acting crazy lately! Your face is always so dark, like someone owes you eight million!"

It's even more sinister than a girl having her period.

He was also furious in the middle of the night. When he went upstairs, he found Qin Zhao peeking out of his room.

She asked somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Yanci is gone?"

"Why do you care about him!" he said irritably. "Idiot."

Seeing Qin Zhao frowning at him, he added, "I didn't scold you, I scolded him."

Why are you cursing at him?

"That's exactly what I'm talking about!" Lin Shi snorted. "So what if I called him a moron? Shen Yanci is an idiot, Shen Yanci is an idiot, a big idiot!"

"Lin Shi, are you out of your mind?!"

Lin Shi laughed angrily: "What does it have to do with you that I'm cursing him! You're the one who's sick! You two are both insane!"

"..."

Qin Zhao slammed the door shut.

She buried herself in the blankets and scratched her hair in frustration.

She held her phone, opened Shen Yanci's chat window, typed and deleted, but couldn't resist exhaustion and drowsiness. Finally, the input box on the screen showed—

"Brother Yanci, that's not what I meant... Aa ...

Shen Yanci's phone kept showing "typing..." all night long.

"..."

On Monday, the first day of school, Qin Zhao ran into Shen Yanci at the school gate.

She waved her hand and smiled, "Brother Yanci!"

Shen Yanci walked past her without looking at her, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shi was overjoyed and put his arm around Qin Zhao's shoulder: "It seems like your brother Yan Ci doesn't want to talk to you."

Qin Zhao said expressionlessly, "He didn't even acknowledge you."

Lin Shi shrugged his shoulders with a mix of bravado and smugness: "But I didn't pay any attention to him either."

"Looking at it this way, you're the one who's more embarrassing."

"..."

Seeing Qin Zhao nodding and frowning all morning, Jiang Man asked, "What's wrong? You've been sighing all morning."

Qin Zhao rested his chin on his textbook and sighed again: "If you said something bad and made someone angry, how would you coax them?"

Jiang Man: "Even if we take a step back and say something bad, does that mean he's not wrong?"

"..."

Okay, absolutely no internal friction.

Jiang Man's eyes darted around: "It's easy to coax people."

"How to say?"

"Kiss and hug, call me baby."

"..."
