"May I call you Yan'er?" Ye Wutian ventured, knowing that since they had just met, most girls wouldn't accept such an intimate nickname.
However, Qin Yuyan was very forthright in her reply, "Sure, that's what my classmates call me."
Ye Wutian then asked with a smile, "Yan'er, with your stunning looks, you must be the belle of the Art Academy, right?"
Qin Yuyan covered her mouth with a laugh and said, "All the girls at the Art Academy are very pretty, you know."
"I refuse to believe there's a girl more beautiful than Yan'er," Ye Wutian said, without a hint of insincerity.
Qin Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shyly lowered her head like a bashful little girl, irresistibly endearing.
Ye Wutian glanced at the book in her hand and asked, "Is Yan'er reading Cao Zhi's Rhapsody on the Goddess of the Luo River?"
