Chapter 73, Arguing

After washing up in the evening, Zhang Youyou went back to her room to pack her things, thinking that she would take them back to her dormitory the next day and never stay here again. However, as soon as she stepped out of her room the next day, Li Donghao was waiting in the living room as if he had known in advance. Zhang Youyou ignored him and was about to leave with her bag when he stopped her.

Zhang Youyou didn't speak, but angrily turned her head away.

In the past, no matter how angry she was, a good meal or a good night's sleep would usually do the trick. But now, she was still angry after a whole night, so it seemed he had really offended her. In order to avoid a breakdown in their relationship, Li Donghao had no choice but to ask her in a humble tone where she was going.

"Go to school." The tone was stiff, and the attitude was indifferent.

"What about these bags?"

"Can't I take my things with me?" Zhang Youyou glared at him.

Lee Dong-ho softened his stance as he stood in front of her.

"What happened yesterday was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I was wrong. Please return the things, and I'll take you home after dinner."

Zhang Youyou didn't know what he was up to, and to avoid being betrayed, she chose not to believe him.

"No need, I can walk by myself!" Zhang Youyou stubbornly insisted.

"Youyou!" Li Donghao was a little unhappy, but Zhang Youyou was even more unhappy than him.

"Li Donghao, let me tell you, even though you're a member of the Li family, you have no right to ask anything of me. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. Mind your own business, and I won't be staying here anymore. That's it!" After saying that, she turned and walked towards the entrance, but Li Donghao stretched out his long legs and blocked her way, and even grabbed her arm.

Although Zhang Youyou wasn't short, she had a small frame and looked thin. Li Donghao's large hand easily gripped her forearm. Zhang Youyou tried to break free, but the more she struggled, the tighter he held on. Finally, when she cried out in pain, he switched hands and pulled her by her other arm back to the living room, then threw her onto the sofa.

"Li Donghao!" Zhang Youyou finally shouted, unable to bear it any longer. He loosened his grip on the bags, and five or six bags slid down the sofa onto the carpet and scattered.

"Zhang Youyou, don't make me angry!" He had already tried to coax her in a humble manner, but she didn't appreciate it, and he lost his patience.

"Who provoked whom?" Zhang Youyou swung her leg in dissatisfaction and accidentally kicked him, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior, and Li Donghao didn't care either.

"You ruined my gathering with my classmates, you dragged me here, you were the one who made a scene early this morning, and you even said I made you angry. Are you being reasonable?" Big tears welled up in Zhang Youyou's eyes, revealing her grievances. She felt even worse than when Teacher Jiang misunderstood her.

Although they've known each other since childhood, Li Donghao was never like this before. He changed after she came here. He became not only barbaric and domineering but also unreasonable. He's completely different from before. How can so many people like him? Do they have something wrong with their eyes?

Her tears extinguished his anger, leaving Li Donghao feeling both furious and heartbroken. The two emotions clashed within him, causing him great distress.

"Youyou, Youyou, listen to me..." Li Donghao squatted down in front of her, trying to coax her, but she covered her ears with her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and mumbled "I won't listen, I won't listen," leaving Li Donghao at a loss.

The morning passed by amidst their bickering, and because of this, neither of them was able to go to school. Fortunately, it didn't matter whether he went to the lab or not, but Zhang Youyou definitely couldn't go to class. He had no choice but to call their counselor to ask for leave. Zhang Youyou sat on the sofa in frustration and cried until his voice was hoarse.

The rare time they spent together was shattered by an argument. Li Donghao was truly at his wit's end. The only thing he could do now was to prevent Zhang Youyou from leaving, otherwise he would have no chance to win her back.

Zhang Youyou, whose emotions had been fluctuating too much these past two days and who hadn't been eating properly, finally collapsed on the sofa due to exhaustion. When Li Donghao found her, she had already closed her eyes and was hugging her arms as if she had fallen asleep.
