This direct and unsophisticated confession was the first Bo Yan had ever encountered.
Being a rather reserved person, he wasn't quite accustomed to such straightforward interactions. Although Xia Siyu's appearance dazzled him, and her personality left an impression, everything seemed to be moving too quickly. They had just met and he had just learned her name; he felt caught off guard.
If Bo Yan had rejected her on the spot, it would have been a different story altogether. Siyu, despite being direct, was also very proud. If Bo Yan had refused her right from the start, she definitely wouldn't have persisted.
But right at that moment, Bo Yan's mentor called out to him, "Bo Yan, what are you doing? Come here quickly."
Bo Yan immediately nodded, "Understood, Teacher."
With that interruption, he managed to recover from his initial surprise. He looked back at Xia Siyu, "Sorry, my teacher needs me for something urgent."
