Chapter 463: 462: Three Rules (4)

People can’t always be indulged in intuition, following it blindly. What’s the difference between us and animals then?

In the entertainment industry, she had seen too many people fall from grace because of their desires. Rationality is like a floodgate; if you hold it back, it’s all good, but if you let go, things can spiral out of control.

That’s how she was with Bo Yan, carelessly letting him close in on her step by step. What was worse, she herself had grown accustomed to being with Bo Yan, to bantering with him, living under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed, doing things together…

But she still hoped to have her own small circle, not wanting to be influenced by Bo Yan, nor did she want him meddling too much in her work and life.

After all, he was just a legitimate friend with benefits. You give him an inch, and he takes a mile. She hadn’t even agreed to like him yet!

Not to mention, whether she agreed or not, he hadn’t even said he liked her. Why should he meddle so much in her affairs?

Next, Bo Yan could feel Xia Siyu’s resistance, though it wasn’t to the point of kicking and beating, but her uncooperative attitude was practically written all over her face.

Bo Yan was somewhat anxious on the inside too. He could feel that although Xia Siyu seemed to be retreating step by step on the surface, the resistance in her heart was still strong. He was trying so hard now but couldn’t seem to pry open a small gap in her heart; it was like she was still repelling him.

After it ended, he behaved himself and didn’t cling to her. After they both finished cleaning up, Xia Siyu did indeed stop him, “I have to set some ground rules with you.”

Bo Yan looked at her indifferently, neither agreeing nor objecting. He comfortably leaned back on the sofa, resting an elbow on the armrest, and lazily lifted his chin, “Let’s hear them.”

“First, if you continue to reveal our relationship in front of others, including Wei Jingjing, Little Tang, and Brother Qin, we will immediately end this friends-with-benefits relationship, and you’ll never get close to me again.”

When Xia Siyu spoke, she was incredibly serious. If it weren’t for the slight blush still on her face from just after exercising, and her voice being too soft, perhaps her words might have carried more weight.

So that means no more public flirting, only secretive sleaziness, huh?

Bo Yan did not object, and then asked, “What’s the second thing?”

“Second, you can’t force me when I’m unwilling. And I’ve noticed you might have a psychological issue; you seem to enjoy doing things when there are people around. I don’t like it, I firmly refuse.” It was the same last time by the door, and even worse this time. Especially just now, if she hadn’t reacted quickly, Qin Baizhou would have discovered them long ago.

“But you just now… you clearly enjoyed it.”

“But I don’t want to bear the consequences of being discovered! You might not care with your thick skin, but I can’t handle it.”

Speaking of thick skin, Bo Yan glanced at Xia Siyu, his face showing some confusion. She wasn’t someone with special interests, no desire to expose her private life to others. She especially didn’t want others to know about her relationship with Bo Yan.

Although she grew up in Italy since she was young, she also had a strict family education. Wen Qunxiao, throughout her upbringing, wished she could keep her under lock and key, not letting any boys get close to her.

“In any case, if you dare to act recklessly again, you can just get lost!”

Bo Yan responded with an “oh”, “Anything else?”

“No touching me in public places either, like you did on the plane. No intentional closeness! Aren’t you aware of your own fans’ fighting strength? I’m not afraid of them, but I don’t bother dealing with the backlash.”

Bo Yan nodded again, “Is that all? Then what about tonight, how are you planning to take the initiative?”
