Ning Yan ignored the gazes of those around her. This was the third time this guy had "coincidentally" run into her since he bumped into her that day. She could tell that he was thinking about her.

However, he always called her "sister," and she had no idea how old he actually was.

After quickly finishing lunch, Ning Yan led her entourage out of the cafeteria.

They found a secluded spot and stood under a big tree, dappled shadows falling on them. The little puppy smiled brightly, "Sister, is there something you want to tell me?"

"You always call me 'sister,' how old are you this year?"

"Sister, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Wen Yanchen, I am seventeen years old, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Bioengineering."

Ning Yan had been asking the question with a smile, but upon hearing this, she instantly vanished with a smile.

Seventeen years old, a minor, and a graduate student in bioengineering—she's a genius! How could she possibly cause trouble like this?

Wen Yanchen was startled. "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Hey Wen, you're still young. You should focus on your studies. Early romance is wrong, you know what I mean?"

Wen Yanchen's eyes reddened with grievance. "Sister, I'm not young, really! You can check if you don't believe me." After he finished speaking, he tried to pull Ning Yan's hand to press it against his body.

Ning Yan was startled by him and quickly pulled her hand back. Was she talking about that little one?

In modern times, seventeen is a number I really can't bring myself to do.

"Little brother, be good, don't make trouble. I don't want people to say I'm abducting a minor. Of course, if you don't mean that to me, just pretend I misunderstood and didn't say anything."

Wen Yanchen hurriedly explained, "Sister, I did it voluntarily, and I was the one who pursued you. What would others say?"

Please don't reject me, okay?

He's tall, about 1.9 meters, you really can't tell he's not even an adult yet.

Ning Yan took a step back. "Don't get agitated. I really can't bring myself to do it. You should go back to your research and stop wasting your time here."

Moreover, this kid's family background should be quite good. If his family knew that he had ruined him, would they forgive him?

"Sister is lying. High school students can date. I'm a graduate student, why can't I?"

He stepped forward again and took Ning Yan's hand, as if afraid that Ning Yan would run away.

"Sister, what do you want me to accept? Tell me, and I'll do whatever you say."

Can I have my parents sign a consent form?

He used to be very proud of himself. He was a good student and kept skipping grades, leaving all his peers behind.

Now things are in trouble. He's a year younger, and the older woman he likes doesn't want to date him.

I'm a little annoyed that I'm too smart. If he had been one step ahead and gotten his graduation certificate, wouldn't he have missed the chance to even get to know my sister?

Who was it that kept encouraging him to skip a grade?

He has a biological father, a biological mother, a cousin, and a younger aunt...

Make a note of them all!

Ning Yan was amused by this brat. "Are you trying to make me laugh so you can inherit my allowance? You even want my parents to write a consent form. Stop messing around, I'm leaving."

In a moment of panic, Wen Yanchen grabbed Ning Yan and kissed her on the cheek.

"My sister clearly likes my face too, so please don't ignore me!"

Ning Yan: ...This kid has a bit of a mental illness.

That makes sense, though; all geniuses have some minor issues with their brains.

She quickly pulled his arm down; it was broad daylight, and if anyone saw it, things would get complicated.

"Let go, or I'll get angry."

She didn't dislike him because he was underage, but because of his appearance. Which cadre could withstand the test of such a young man?!

"Then please agree to date me, okay? I promise I'll treat you well. I'm more reliable than any other man. I've only ever loved you."

Ning Yan felt an urge to roll her eyes. You're only seventeen, do you expect to like ten thousand men?

In the distance, someone was walking towards them, their footsteps making a very clear sound.

Ning Yan quickly said, "Okay, I agree, let go now."

"Sister, really? So we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, right? Let's take a picture together."

He moved incredibly fast, grabbing his phone and snapping a series of photos of the two embracing.

"Sister is smiling."

Ning Yan: ……

"Never mind, you're most beautiful even when you're not smiling."

After taking the photos, he finally let go of Ning Yan's hand. Passing students glanced at them and then left. It's normal for young couples to be in love.

After everyone left, Wen Yanchen immediately grabbed Ning Yan's hand again, "Sister, we're a couple now, how about we go see a movie together tonight?"

Ning Yan: "Oh no, I have class tonight."

"How about I accompany my sister to class?"

Ning Yan: ……

Oh well, this is the price she pays for being a lecher.

She deserves it!

Wen Yanchen then showed Ning Yan the photos she had just taken, saying, "Sister, look, isn't our photo together especially beautiful?"

Ning Yan glanced at his phone. To be honest, there was a height difference of about 20 centimeters between them. Being hugged by him made her look rather petite and delicate. Although her face was expressionless, she didn't seem displeased at all.

But Wen Yanchen's gaze was full of deep affection.

"Um."

"Then I'll send the photo to my sister, and she can use it as her screensaver too, okay?"

Ning Yan: ...This brat always has a purpose in everything he says!

Fearing she might be unwilling, Wen Yanchen personally changed Ning Yan's screensaver.

With more than half an hour to go before the first class in the afternoon, this brat wouldn't let her go, insisting on dragging her around the campus to "digest her food."

What's the point of taking a break? It's all about spreading the word so everyone knows that the school beauty that so many people are after has a boyfriend!

However, this also had its advantages for Ning Yan. Being confessed to every day was quite annoying, so Ning Yan just let it go.

Wen Yanchen was absolutely thrilled.

When he got home that day, he searched for strategies online. If you want to win over someone you like, you have to fight and compete. The methods don't matter, the result is what matters. You can't anger her, but you can't listen to everything she says either. In short, you have to find the right balance.

So, as soon as Ning Yan showed that she wanted to understand him, he went all out. What else could he do?

If Ning Yan gets tricked by someone else, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

"Sister, can I accompany you to class this afternoon? We finally confirmed our relationship, and I don't want to be apart from you for even a moment."

He pouted and acted cute again!

If anyone else had done this, she would have found it unbearable to watch, but Wen Yanchen made it look incredibly cute. What could Ning Yan do? Of course, she would agree to everything he said.

That's right, the thought that he's only seventeen years old always gives me the feeling that she's abducting a minor.

In the days that followed, Wen Yanchen pestered Ning Yan every day, and everyone at J University knew that the new campus belle of Ning University was already taken.

Li Xiangze stared at the posts on the forum, speechless for a long time.

If he wasn't blind, the male protagonist in this photo was his cousin, a master of empty talk with an IQ of 180, and the female protagonist was none other than the campus belle of Ningda University, whom his cousin had claimed was just asking casually that day.

That kid's quick! (End of Chapter)
