--explanation--

Sebastián says Tengo veintiún años, which means "I am twenty-one years old".

The word veintiuno means 21.

When referring to age, the word veintiún is used instead when it's followed by the word años ("years"). This shortened form is used immediately before plural masculine nouns.

After saying his age, Sebastián returns the question to Ángela with ¿Y tú?.
