Chapter 113, Ambiguity

When the two returned home, Zhang Youyou didn't ask about what happened in the lab, and Li Donghao didn't say anything either. He just told her to wait on the sofa while he went to cook. Before he could react, Zhang Youyou grabbed his hand and hugged him. Li Donghao was stunned at first, then wrapped his arms around her waist.

Neither of them said anything, but something had quietly changed.

After that incident, Zhang Youyou often stayed at Li Donghao's house, but Li Donghao often came home late because of work, which meant that the two rarely went out together.

Li Donghao had originally intended to leave the car for her, but considering her driving skills, he decided against it. Zhang Youyou had no objection; she could take the bus or ride a bicycle, the journey was short, and either way was convenient. That being said, however, if she finished class late, she still needed to stay in the dormitory, which was Li Donghao's requirement, and Zhang Youyou accepted.

The two who were once at odds suddenly shook hands and made up. Not only that, Zhang Youyou also frequently checked her phone, to the point that her roommates suspected that she was in a relationship.

Faced with her roommate's questioning, Zhang Youyou repeatedly denied it, but in her heart she was thinking about her relationship with Li Donghao.

If they were together, neither of them had confessed; if they weren't together, their relationship seemed different than before. Everything that was once clear suddenly became blurry, and Zhang Youyou was stunned.

So after lunch, while the others were out of the dormitory, she pulled Li Yanyan aside to learn from her experience.

The two sat facing each other, each holding a bottle of AD calcium, chatting as they drank.

"You mean they're close but haven't confessed their feelings?"

“Yes!” Zhang Youyou nodded vigorously.

Li Yanyan looked at her and retorted bluntly, "What is this? Playing the field?"

Zhang Youyou was a little taken aback. "Is this considered ambiguous?"

"If this doesn't count, then what does?" Her eyes darted around, and Li Yanyan stared warily at Zhang Youyou, saying, "Oh~ Zhang Youyou, you wouldn't happen to be......"

Hearing her say that, Zhang Youyou was so frightened that she immediately waved her hand in denial, and almost threw away the AD calcium in her hand.

Li Yanyan pulled back and continued leaning against the chair, saying, "It's nothing. It's like this: more than friends but less than lovers. There's nothing wrong with it. At least it gives each other time to confirm their feelings. But I must remind you not to lose control of yourself because of a moment of infatuation. Girls always suffer in these kinds of situations."

Zhang Youyou's face flushed red instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Yanyan said earnestly, "I'm reminding you not to get together with someone just because you're angry. Although Meng Xiao is not bad, he is still a man."

"What does this have to do with Meng Xiao?" Zhang Youyou asked, puzzled.

Li Yanyan was shocked, "You're asking me this because of Meng Xiao?"

Zhang Youyou shook her head helplessly and threw the empty AD calcium bottle into the trash can. Li Yanyan looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

This little girl thought she was hiding it well, but little did she know that her words would be exposed in just a few words. But to be honest, if she could really get together with Assistant Professor Li, it would be a wonderful story.

A childhood sweetheart is more valuable than a child prodigy. Hmm, this topic should be quite interesting.

Li Yanyan, clutching the bottle of AD calcium in her hand, had already begun to imagine a scenario where a top student falls for his childhood sweetheart. Unfortunately, this imagining didn't last long before her boyfriend called her out of the dorm, leaving Zhang Youyou alone.

She remained seated, thinking about Li Yanyan's words and recalling her interactions with Li Donghao. Zhang Youyou felt that their relationship had gone beyond ambiguity. However, she had always said she wanted to marry Li Dongshuo, and now that it was Li Donghao instead, she was having trouble adjusting.

"When are you coming here?" Zhang Youyou sent a WeChat message to Li Dongshuo, but no one replied. He was probably eating. Zhang Youyou wondered if Li Dongshuo had eaten yet.

Oh no, she seems to be getting more and more involved.
