Xia Siyu answered without any hesitation, “Nineteen.”
Bo Yan looked at her, or more precisely, their first kiss had been on her nineteenth birthday.
That kiss was also their pledge of love.
Although their first meeting took place at the end of the first year’s final term in college, in reality, both of them had heard of each other long before.
Bo Yan, the top student of N University, represented the students in speeches every year when the freshmen arrived. With outstanding grades, handsome appearance, and a good family background, he was liked by both teachers and peers. Excelling in every subject, he represented N University in the international chess tournament for college students and won first place in the amateur group. He was also an all-rounder in sports. Except for not being your boyfriend, he was perfect in every other aspect.
As for Xia Siyu, well, from her very first day at the school, she became famous throughout the campus just with her face.
Even though N University was a comprehensive university with a tilt towards science and engineering, there were more male than female students. Naturally, when a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a no-makeup look suddenly appeared in such a “monastery,” it caused an uproar among the entire student body.
Bo Yan’s roommates, some securing their postgraduate recommendations, others going abroad or seeking jobs, and a few preparing for graduate school, spent their leisure time discussing games or girls. It was only natural that they talked about the beautiful girl who had arrived at the school of arts. Since Bo Yan would transfer to the school of arts after securing his recommendation, his roommate Han Yifan even advised him to “seize the opportunity” and exert his charm to “conquer the beauty.”
Bo Yan just smiled and ignored the suggestion. He was aloof by nature and indifferent to the countless girls who had chased after him since childhood.
Xia Siyu’s situation was similar. Due to her good looks, she had little boys wanting to hold her hand since kindergarten, and the list of her admirers was endless.
Readers of novels often think that extremely attractive men and women get pursued so much that if someone doesn’t show interest in them, they become intrigued and decide to pursue that person in return. Many domineering CEO stories are conceived this way.
In reality, that’s nonsense.
Those born with exceptional advantages are used to being pursued and have plenty of self-confidence. If some fool doesn’t like them and even causes trouble every day, they don’t think that person is special; they just feel that the person has poor taste for not appreciating someone as handsome as them.
Xia Siyu was the same. She wasn’t interested in just any guy. Although the school of arts had more handsome men, that was only relative to other schools. For someone of her level of beauty, only a top-tier handsome man would catch her eye.
And then she met Bo Yan.
The moment she saw Bo Yan, her heart beat like the pounding of drums. Bo Yan really was the most handsome man she had ever encountered in real life.
It wasn’t just his looks; it was his clean and unassuming air, a mix of cool detachment and asceticism.
Xia Siyu was straightforward when it came to liking someone. After class, she tidied up her hair and clothes, stood in front of Bo Yan, and blocked his way.
Bo Yan frowned slightly, not liking this directness. If it were anyone else, he might not have responded at all and simply walked away.
But upon seeing the stunningly beautiful and confident face before him, he paused.
“You already know my name, it’s only fair you tell me yours.”
Bo Yan hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, “Bo Yan.”
The next second, Xia Siyu lifted a smile, “Bo Yan, be my boyfriend.”
