Chapter 163, Eating

Zhang Youyou didn't sleep for half the night, and when she lightly touched her lips with her fingertips, she could still smell the sandalwood scent on him.

Oh no, she seems to have completely fallen for him!

Based on the previous experience, Li Donghao sent her a WeChat message before coming over this time, so that she wouldn't pretend not to see it. He also called Zhang's mother to make sure she was awake before coming over.

Zhang Youyou looked at the WeChat message on her phone and chose to ignore it.

It wasn't that she didn't want to eat, but rather that she didn't know how to face Li Donghao. Between delicious food and a man, she chose her bed.

Unfortunately, life doesn't agree.

Zhang Youyou got hungry from playing on her phone and went to the refrigerator to find something to eat. Before she even entered the kitchen, she felt a gaze on her from the living room. Turning around, she saw Li Donghao smiling at her. Startled, Zhang Youyou jumped back a step.

"You're willing to get up now?"

Zhang Youyou silently moved towards the dining table, gripping the back of the chair with one hand and asking bravely, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll treat you to dinner!" Li Donghao said casually.

"What do you want to eat?" Zhang Youyou asked warily.

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Li Donghao continued to cast his enticement, "I heard that a new Northeastern Chinese restaurant opened near Mingzhu Square. I'd like to try it out. Do you want to come along?"

Zhang Youyou hesitated, worried that yesterday's events would repeat themselves, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food, caught in a dilemma.

"It'll definitely be crowded during lunch break, I need to reserve a room. Are you coming? If not, I'll ask someone else!" Li Donghao picked up his phone, opened the app, found the store, and made a reservation, muttering to himself, "Let me think... Dongshuo might be free, I'll also ask Jiahui..."

"I'm going!" Zhang Youyou said decisively, "Are you still going to ask them out?"

"Since you're going, I won't look for them." He pretended not to care, but in reality, he had already reserved seats for two people.

Zhang Youyou glanced at him and went back to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Zhang Youyou was wearing a blue-brown striped sweater, paired with black pants, and wrapped in a long down jacket. She looked like a silkworm cocoon. Looking at her like this, Li Donghao felt like he wasn't going on a date, but taking care of a child.

Zhang Youyou is afraid of the cold, so the heating at home is always turned up very high. However, she can't take the heating with her when she goes out, so she always wraps herself up tightly, but then has to take it off after getting in the car.

"Have you told your family?" Li Donghao asked while driving.

"say what?"

Lee Dong-ho glanced at her in surprise while waiting at the red light.

"Weren't you going to stay at my place?"

So that's what it is. Zhang Youyou leaned back in her seat, looking at the car in front of her, trying to appear calm.

"I...I haven't decided yet."

The light turned green, and Li Donghao stepped on the gas.

"You don't like it there?"

Zhang Youyou shook her head, then, realizing he couldn't see her, added, "No, I'm just... uh... envious."

"envious?"

"Yeah, I'm envious, I'm envious that you have so many houses." Zhang Youyou made up an excuse, but he didn't expect that the other man would find fault with her.

"I told you, if you like it, I can give you that house!"

Zhang Youyou moved closer to the car door, squinted at him, and after a long while asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"

"What could my purpose be? Didn't you say you didn't want to live at home? I've provided you with accommodation. Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, so you need to help me decorate!"

Zhang Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was going to say something else.

Lee Dong-ho glanced at her relieved expression and couldn't help but smile.

Actually, he had his own selfish motives, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he had to slow down the pace, since he had pushed her a bit too hard yesterday.

At this time, Mingzhu Square was crowded, mostly with people preparing for the New Year. Only they were there to eat, but it was still early, so he had time to spend with her.

"Didn't you say you'd help me decorate my house yesterday? How about we go for a walk after dinner?"

Zhang Youyou looked around and muttered, "Sure, but I want to go to the flower market."

Her words meant she agreed, and Lee Dong-ho smiled, "No problem!"
