Chapter 378: Be mine
Aside from being a hypnotist, Han Xichen was a psychologist as well. Hence, although he should have done whatever she wanted, he was not going to let her go through with something that could potentially ruin her without trying to convince her against it. Hence, he looked seriously at her. "How old are you?"
"What?" Xiaoshi looked up with tearful eyes. They were talking about something else just now. How did the topic suddenly shift to her age? She gathered herself together and croakily answered, "Twenty."
Han Xichen raised an eyebrow in surprise. She was actually younger than he thought. He had assumed that she was a bit older... no wonder she was so rash.
"You’re still so young... and you are very pretty. I’m sure there are countless men who would love to date you. Are you sure you really want to ruin your life for a man who may not even realize that you did it because of him?"
Xiaoshi looked at him hesitantly, her voice lowering into a mumble as she blinked her beautiful, big eyes. "You think I’m pretty?"
"Is that the main point?" Han Xichen was intrigued by this young lady’s point of focus.
She nodded to his question, looking at him hopefully.
"Yes you are." He said. "Very pretty."
He would have said the same thing no matter who the patient in front of him was. She knew this too, but her ears flashed when she heard it.
She then looked at him seriously. "Then... can you be my boyfriend?"
"What?" The man was taken aback. One second ago, she was still crying painfully about being ignored by the man she had supposedly loved for years, and the next second she was hitting on him and asking him to be her boyfriend?
