Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Chapter 19 Pretend Boyfriend



Happiness might have come too fast, too sudden. This is more surprising than five kilograms of gold falling from the sky.

Having the goddess you like confess to you, this is a phenomenon you dream about even in the middle of the night with drool coming from your mouth, and it's happening right in front of you.

At this moment, Xiaofan wished he could give himself a slap to see if it hurt, to determine if it was a dream or reality.

"W-why?"

Oh my god, after asking this question, Ye Xiaofan immediately regretted it. In this kind of situation, you should agree without hesitation. Who cares about her reasons?

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyan suddenly lifted her head and asked calmly, "You, don't want to? Were the letters you secretly wrote to me fake?"

I do, I really do. I, Ye Xiaofan, wish I could hold you tightly and kiss you hard for ten minutes.

Yes, that's what Xiaofan thought, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"I'm not unwilling, it's just too sudden, I-I wasn't prepared at all. No, I just wanted to know for sure, why would you... Oh my god, yes, the letters were written by me. But I couldn't bring back the scene of the meteor shower. Besides, there are too many people better than me." Initially, Xiaofan's tone was somewhat chaotic, gradually becoming self-deprecating.

Indeed, it's lucky to be favored by a goddess. But who am I? And who is she? Initially, I had a firm belief that if I worked hard, I could pursue the girl I liked, but when the moment came, he hesitated.

"Weren't you quite confident during yesterday's competition?" Upon hearing Xiaofan's response, Liu Siyan surprisingly showed a smile.

Looking at that flower-like smile, Xiaofan almost got bewitched again, quickly turned his head away, "If you're being serious, I'll do my utmost not to let you suffer a bit from now on."

Is it a vow? No, it's merely a statement. For love, expressing one's attitude.

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyan's eyes seemed to sparkle with tears, was it from being moved? Or gratified?

"Haha, not teasing you anymore. I didn't make it clear just now. I want you to be my boyfriend for a while, to help me with something, otherwise, I'm afraid my dad will marry me off to some horrible guy." Liu Siyan chuckled softly. She didn't mean to deliberately tease Xiaofan; she just wanted to see how this boy truly felt about her.

"What? What?" Ye Xiaofan stammered twice in succession.

Isn't the change happening a bit too quickly? Indeed, reality is reality.

Though it wasn't what he expected, even Xiaofan let out a breath of relief.

"Oh wow, you scared me to death, what's going on?"

"I'm asking you to be my boyfriend, and you're scared? Really." Liu Siyan pouts her lips slightly, seemingly unsatisfied with Xiaofan's reaction.

"... No, I..." Xiaofan stammered, not knowing what to do.

"Alright, not teasing you anymore, I had no other choice but to ask you for help. Are you willing to help me or not?" Liu Siyan slowly said.

It turned out that before coming to school today, Liu Siyan's father had already told her that someone would come to their home to propose today. Although Liu Siyan was only eighteen, being the daughter of a business tycoon, she naturally attracted a lot of attention. Moreover, Liu Siyan was graceful and charming, being a top choice for those looking for benefits for their offspring and themselves.

Getting married at eighteen was obviously ridiculous, but in high society, unmarried young people can get engaged to demonstrate the stance of both families and then get married when they reach the legal age.

Upon hearing this, Xiaofan couldn't help but become puzzled. Liu Siyan's father is a business tycoon and doesn't need to make any business alliances through marriage, does he? Plus, if Liu Siyan is unwilling, then no one could easily change that outcome, right?

But the other party happens to be someone that even Liu Siyan's father couldn't easily refuse. Even though Liu Siyan also expressed her unwillingness, her father still thought it would be polite to at least meet the other party, otherwise, it would seem disrespectful.

That's to say, the other party must be someone even Liu Siyan's father is wary of, so this person is probably not simple.

When Liu Siyan mentioned the name of the guy, Ye Xiaofan finally understood what was going on.

"What? You said that guy is Zhang Qiang from class two?"

This Zhang Qiang was the guy who made a bet with Liu Siyan yesterday. He had been harboring bad intentions toward Liu Siyan for a long time, constantly pestering her with various harassments.

Now, Xiaofan finally understood why Liu Siyan was so troubled today. Zhang Qiang's father worked in the education bureau, and logically, his father's work had nothing to do with Liu Siyan's father, but Zhang Qiang's grandfather was the second in command at the tax office and also had some connections with the inspection agencies.

Business people, of course, are willing to associate with Zhang Qiang's grandfather and the marriage of the two families is something business people hope for. Although Liu Siyan's father had no such plan, he knew the other party was not someone they could easily offend, hence asking Liu Siyan to at least go back and meet them today at noon.

Though Liu Siyan's father mentioned it would just be a meeting and no decision would be made lightly, anything could happen. If her father were to agree, then it'd be quite troublesome.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Siyan finally came up with a solution, which was to find someone to pretend to be her boyfriend. That way, she would have enough reasons and excuses to refuse the other party, and even her father could say a few more words for her.

This indeed was a good idea. Being able to think of such a plan, Liu Siyan certainly proved to be a wise and insightful girl.

However, though the plan was there, choosing the right person was quite difficult.

Not to mention the urgency of time, Liu Siyan didn't have many male friends to begin with. The only person she felt she could rely on was Ye Xiaofan.

But the problem was that Xiaofan's background was lacking. He didn't come from a wealthy family and didn't have a strong background. Was it really reliable to ask him for help?

"Am I really up for this?" Even Xiaofan felt a bit unsure.

"I don't know, but I refuse to become a sacrifice of commerce, there's no time left, my family's driver is already waiting at the school gate. Are you coming or not?"

"Going where?" Ye Xiaofan asked curiously.

"Of course, to my house. Otherwise, why would I ask you to be my boyfriend? We need to put on a show in front of my dad and Zhang Qiang."

"Going is no problem, but how could I go empty-handed the first time meeting the future father-in-law." Ye Xiaofan deliberately furrowed his brow and said.

"Oh, stop it! I'm not necessarily marrying you. What's with the father-in-law talk." Liu Siyan teasingly said, her mouth curling into a small smile, she knew from Xiaofan's words that he had agreed.

However, can this unrehearsed play really be acted out well?
