Xia Siyu's head nearly exploded at his words.
Originally, Bo Yan, though aloof and impassive, was like an iceberg that no amount of teasing could melt. Despite his perpetual scowl, at least he wasn't actively reaching out; as long as she ignored him, he was practically just air to her.
But now, even if he wasn't being too proactive, his casual comments left her not knowing how to respond without feeling a chill run down her spine.
Bo Yan, of course, could see the disdain growing in her eyes.
He was a bit confused and didn't know how to approach her.
If he continued pretending to be oblivious and hiding his emotions, Xia Siyu couldn't feel anything from him. Although she became more unguarded around him, this unguardedness came at the cost of not considering him a man.
But what if he openly expressed his affection for her? Would Xia Siyu run even faster? Given her current predisposition to dislike him, pursuing her relentlessly might just make her turn around and leave.
