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

Chapter 91 The Conman Disguised as a Man

The door to Shen Yanci's room was tightly closed. Qin Zhao thought for a moment and then knocked on the door: "Brother Yanci, get up."

After a long while, a nasal "hello" came from the other end.

Qin Zhao took a piece of bread and made two sandwiches. She had almost finished eating them when Shen Yanci came out with her hair looking like a messy chicken coop.

It's a far cry from her previous image.

Qin Zhao couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

Fearing there wouldn't be enough time, Qin Zhao packed up a sandwich for him while he was washing up.

Once inside the elevator, Qin Zhao noticed that Shen Yanci still seemed listless.

He was carrying an umbrella in one hand and a sandwich in the other, his face showing signs of weariness and drowsiness.

His posture was languid.

Qin Zhao: "Yanci, do you still have a headache?"

"Hmm?" Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids, his voice hoarse from just waking up. "Much better."

"That's good."

It was still raining outside, the raindrops hitting the umbrella with a heavy thud.

When they parted ways at school, Qin Zhao called out to him, "If you're not feeling well, please ask for leave."

Shen Yanci, holding up his umbrella, replied with an "okay".

After Qin Zhao's figure disappeared from sight, he turned back, got into his car, and said wearily, "Back to the apartment."

He barely slept last night.

He went into his room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Nothing in the room had changed, but there was a faint fragrance now.

He sniffed it and laughed.

He likes it so much.

I really like it.

……

The rain was still falling, and school was about to end. Chen Yu was quite surprised to see Shen Yanci appear: "Did the homeroom teacher want to see you?"

"No."

"Why would you come here if you weren't here?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled. They had already accepted the job offer, and many of their classmates had stopped coming to class.

But he felt it was more interesting to read novels at school, because he didn't want his parents to interfere.

Shen Yanci goes to school every day without fail, as if he's bound to some kind of attendance system, which Shen Yanci really doesn't understand.

Shen Yanci glanced at his watch: "Wait until school is over."

"..."

Chen Yu: 6!
-
The rain had almost stopped when Qin Zhao, holding an umbrella, saw Shen Yanci at the school gate.

She looked at his face, which had completely recovered, and asked, "Brother Yanci, is your head no longer hurting?"

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement: "Back to the apartment?"

"I'm going home." Qin Zhao had tutoring classes that evening. "Are you going back to your apartment?"

Shen Yanci: "Go home."

"..."

In addition to his regular schoolwork, Qin Zhao also takes interest-based courses such as art appreciation and equestrianism.

After class, as she passed the mall entrance, she remembered the candy she had given Shen Yanci.

"Uncle Li, let's stop at the mall for a moment."

She went to a hot pot restaurant, but it wasn't lunchtime yet, so there weren't many people there.

The waiter saw her and warmly led her inside: "Welcome to Boiling City Chronicles! Please come this way with me. Do you have a reservation?"

Qin Zhao: "The candy we had here last time was delicious. Could you sell me some?"

"I'm sorry, the candy is a free gift and is not sold separately," the young lady said apologetically. "This free gift is unlimited. If you are having hot pot, we can give you some."

Qin Zhao messaged Uncle Li, telling him she was eating hot pot and he could come pick her up later. The hot pot arrived, and Qin Zhao looked at the bubbling broth, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

She has been alone for seventeen years; she is used to eating, walking, and running away by herself.

One of her biggest wishes was to never go hungry.

In the past, she would have been overjoyed to have so much food all to herself.

But she had only been here for less than a year, and looking at the table full of food, she felt uncomfortable and even had little appetite, simply because she was alone now.

She scrolled through her phone with a blank expression.

She clicked into Shen Yanci's chat box and sent him a picture of the hot pot.

He probably didn't see it; he didn't reply until Qin Zhao finished eating the hotpot.

Qin Zhao sent a message to Uncle Li, then took a bag full of candy and went to the back of the mall to digest his food. There was a stretch of sea there, and many small shops had been built along the way.

I just had hot pot, and the breeze feels so nice.

She walked.

"Eno."

The unforgettable, nightmarish male voice made her gasp for breath, her legs feeling like lead, unable to move.

"You dare to run away? You've got some nerve!"

"You think you can run fast? Run! If you dare to run again, I'll cripple your entire leg!"

"Apologize to Brother Yu right now!"

The curses and threats were playing on repeat in my head, and my knees started to ache again.

Qin Zhao pursed his lips tightly, banishing the harsh words from his mind, and stepped into the crowd.

The person didn't follow, and just when Qin Zhao thought he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his footsteps sounded.

Qin Zhao didn't care about pretending anymore and started running. Candy fell all over the ground. She held the bag and kept running.

Someone grabbed his shoulder and dragged him into the alley. Qin Zhao struggled, glanced at the roadside camera, paused for a moment, and then struggled even more fiercely.

"Try moving again."

Jiang Yu grabbed her waist and threatened her in a low voice.

Qin Zhao stopped moving, his face filled with fear and terror, as if he had forgotten to resist, and was half-led into the alley by him.

My back was pressed against the rough wall, and it burned with pain.

Jiang Yu raised his hand, then lowered it again, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and asked with a cryptic expression, "Why are you running?"

Qin Zhao leaned against the wall, his face deathly pale, but he still managed to remain strong and calm as he said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

Jiang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, seemingly in a good mood as if he had encountered something interesting: "Did I mistake you for someone else?"

He flicked the ash from his cigarette, took a drag, and said, "You're not Jiang Ye, why are you running?"

He had a buzz cut, honey-colored skin, single eyelids, thin eyelids, and sparse, gray eyebrows. When he had a blank expression, a hint of ruthlessness would subtly emerge.

He blew a smoke ring at her, and seeing her stubbornly turn her head away, her eyes glistening with tears from the smoke, his desire for control returned almost entirely, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Jiang Ye, it's fun to pretend once, but it's no fun if you keep doing it."

Qin Zhao ignored him, her fingers almost digging into the crack in the wall: "I don't know what you mean, and I don't know any Jiang Ye."

She stole glances at him, waiting for her chance to run away, but was pulled back and slammed against the wall.

Her hands were restrained, clasped together and pressed against the wall, the candy bag fell to the ground, and the candies were scattered all over the floor.

"Not Jiang Ye?" Jiang Yu's gaze fell on the hem of her clothes. "The Jiang Ye I know is someone who disguises herself as a man and fools everyone."

"You're not?" His Adam's apple bobbed. "Then let's see if you're a man or a liar like her."

As he spoke, he reached out to lift her clothes.

Qin Zhao struggled more violently, and his restrained hands were rubbed raw against the wall, leaving them bloody and mangled.

"..."

The big bad guy is coming! (Gritting his teeth!)

Thank you Esther Li for the monthly pass!
