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

Chapter 161 Aunt Wanhua
She went back to her desk and wrote some more papers.

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Shi: "Why didn't you read the messages I sent you?"

Qin Zhao had the papers spread out on his desk, and he was holding a pen in his hand.

It's obvious they've muted their electronic devices while studying.

Lin Shi clicked his tongue: "Want to go play golf?"

"Don't go."

"Go-karts?"

"Don't go."

"tennis?"

"Don't play."

Lin Shi chuckled, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Zhao pointed to the paper spread out in front of him, his meaning clear: "Write the paper."

"..."

"No wonder you're unhappy when you're doing test papers every day."

"..."

Lin Shi scoffed, "Nobody's forcing you, why are you making yourself so tired?"

Qin Zhao: "Is it a problem that I want to improve?"

"You make progress so you can be happy, right? If you're not happy, then you don't have to make progress."

"..."

Qin Zhao then looked up at him and said calmly, "What exactly do you want?"

It was Qin Qiong who asked him if anything had happened today, and whether Qin Zhao was unhappy.

Nothing much happened, except that he said a few things to her face during lunch, and she retorted. Why is there so much internal strife?

"Hey, Qin Zhao."

"Ok?"

"You and I have similar genes, which already puts you ahead of 90% of the world's population!" he declared righteously, as if making a grand pronouncement. "Even if I say you're not good-looking, you're only slightly less attractive than me. But you're still better looking than 90% of the world's population, understand?"

"..."

He even tilted his chin up slightly, looking like he thought he was very handsome and that what he was saying made perfect sense.

That's pretentious.

But it sounds like they're praising her.

Qin Zhao, not knowing what had suddenly gotten into him, chimed in, "I know, my goal is to be like you, brother."

Lin Shi chuckled, then pouted and held it back. That's what happens when someone is too outstanding: "You don't need to feel too much pressure."

"..."

Qin Zhao's lips twitched, and he buried his head to continue looking at the exam paper.

"Stop writing, let's go out and have some fun!"

"..."

"If I don't study, how can I get an offer from a top university like you?" Qin Zhao said slowly. "Besides, I don't want to go out today."

Lin Shi was quite happy with the first part of the sentence, but the second part was undoubtedly because he said she was swollen, so he felt even more obligated to let her go out.

Lin Shi: "The community's facilities offer golf and tennis courts, whichever you prefer."

Qin Zhao hesitated for a moment.

"Brother, school starts in September. You won't be able to fight me then."

"Ok."

Qin Zhao changed into his sportswear and took a covered shuttle bus with Lin Shi to the venue.

They played tennis on and off for two hours. Qin Zhao was covered in sweat and sat on a bench to rehydrate.

Lin Shi downed half a bottle of water: "Pretty impressive, able to fight me for so long."

Praising her is also praising him.

Qin Zhao's mouth moved slightly; he was amused.

Lin Shih must have contracted a terminal illness called narcissism.

She smiled, and Lin Shi suddenly said awkwardly, "It's not swollen anymore."

She froze for a moment.

Lin Shi: "Your face isn't swollen anymore."

Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes slightly, looked at him, and felt inexplicably moved.

Lin Shih: "It's still as red as a monkey's butt."

"..."

The warm atmosphere vanished completely. Qin Zhao: "You too, you're even more famous than Guan Yu."

"Oh?" Lin Shi got excited, stood up, and pointed upwards. "I'll be even more famous than Guan Yu! Famous throughout the country! Famous all over the world!"

"..."

Pretty childish.

But Qin Zhao couldn't laugh at him. There was a very honest ambition and enthusiasm in his eyes, something that could make a person shine.

He might be quite suitable to debut.

I'm sure I'll get criticized.

But he has a good attitude.

Exactly, how did she manage to provoke him so much?

"..."

They went to the locker to get their things, and Lin Shi found eight missed calls on his phone.

Another call came in while I was unlocking.

Lin Shi answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

The person on the other end seemed surprised, pausing for a moment before exclaiming in delight, "Xiao Shi?"

He hummed in response, his tone neither warm nor cold: "Cousin."

"You finally answered the phone! I called you so many times, but you didn't answer." Lin Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so worried."

"Brother, my mom was almost scared to death," Xia Zhirou said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Lin Shi's tone softened slightly. "I was just playing basketball, I didn't hear you."

"I'm so glad you're alright." Lin Wanhua said, sounding like a kind and relieved elder. "When are you coming home?"

"We live in the residential area."

"Brother, can you pick us up?" Xia Zhirou said in a slightly aggrieved tone. "Mom is thinking that you're going to America soon, so she prepared a lot of local specialties for you and brought them all the way here. But the security guards at the Rose Garden won't let us in."

I called home, and Aunt Wang answered, saying she needed to report it and ask the homeowner's opinion. When I called again, no one answered.

You and your uncle certainly won't turn us away from home. Aunt Wang has never liked me before; I don't know if she did it on purpose or what.

"I'm fine. It's so sunny, and Mom's carrying so much stuff; she's almost getting heatstroke."

After she finished speaking, Lin Wanhua disapproved and stopped her, saying, "Rou Rou, don't say these things in front of Xiao Shi."

"Xiaoshi, don't listen to her, your aunt is fine."

Lin Shi: "Why don't you wait at the community center's visitor center?"

"..."

A woman's voice could be faintly heard on the other end of the phone: "Madam, your vanilla latte..."

Lin Wanhua chuckled twice: "We're here. We just had a bit of heatstroke. Plus, Rou Rou's visitor record is here, so we just came in."

Lin Shi responded with an "oh".

"Brother, could you send someone to pick us up?"

"Row."

hang up the phone.

Qin Zhao couldn't help but glance at Lin Shi a few times. Couldn't he understand at all?

Lin Shi thought she was curious about who it was, so he explained, "Auntie, Xia Zhirou's mother. Did you recognize Xia Zhirou's voice?"

"..."

Qin Zhao's mouth moved slightly: "Your insensitivity is really quite strong."

Lin Shi paused, then frowned: "Are you insulting me?"

That shows some keen insight.

Qin Zhao denied it: "No."

Two seconds later, she looked at Lin Shi: "They just said that you and Dad would never stop them from leaving the house. Besides you, who else is in the house? Me and Mom?"

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment.

Qin Zhao said that was all, then lowered his eyelids and locked the locker.

Lin Shi: "They probably didn't mean it that way. Aunt Wanhua and her family are distant relatives from our father's lineage. She took care of Grandma until she passed away. They probably just said it offhand. She used to praise our mother a lot."

Qin Zhao responded with an "Oh," and said, "I was being petty."

She was playing tennis today, and Lin Shi tossed her exaggerated platform shoes aside. Today's shoes were only three or four centimeters high, making her much shorter than him.

He could see the top of her head very clearly.

Lin Shi sighed and put his arm around her shoulder: "What's the big deal? She's not a bad person, don't worry."

"..."

Aunt Wanhua, things are getting interesting...

Thank you so much, Zhenzhennong, z, and Liu, for the monthly passes! Love you all!
