Chapter 104, Refusal
Since that day, Zhang Youyou has been avoiding Li Donghao. Except for classes, she basically doesn't receive any messages from him. If she could, she would even block him.
"Youyou, why haven't you been to Assistant Li's house lately?" Li Yanyan asked, looking at Zhang Youyou who was sitting at his desk in a daze.
Upon hearing the words "Teaching Assistant Li," Zhang Youyou nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Yanyan reacted quickly and pulled the chair back, saving Zhang Youyou from a close encounter with the ground.
Finally settled in, Zhang Youyou ignored Li Yanyan's apology and instead asked her why she brought up Li Donghao. She clearly had a boyfriend; was she still hung up on Li Donghao?
Li Yanyan quickly explained, "What do you mean by 'unforgettable'? Am I that kind of person?"
Zhang Youyou rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "Aren't you one?"
Li Yanyan chuckled, "Oh dear, everyone loves beauty. Assistant Li is so handsome, it's good to look at him more often!"
Although I already knew Li Yanyan was a womanizer, hearing her say that still left me feeling uneasy. Li Donghao had clearly asked her to include him in her marriage plans, yet here she was, flirting with other men—what a scumbag!
Li Yanyan was unaware of Zhang Youyou's thoughts and continued to whisper to her while holding her shoulder. When Liu Ping returned, she thought the two of them were dating.
“Our Youyou is so cute, I, a girl, would love her even more than a boy!” Li Yanyan joked, but Zhang Youyou couldn’t laugh.
For others, being liked is a good thing, but for her it's a disaster, especially since the other person is Lee Dong-ho.
Just then, Zhang Youyou's phone rang. When she saw it was Li Donghao, she instinctively tried to hang up, but Li Yanyan snatched it away first.
"Oh my god, it's Assistant Li! My dear Youyou, could you please ask Assistant Li to treat us to a meal? Or, how about we treat him to a meal?"
To prevent Zhang Youyou from getting a concussion from being shaken by Li Yanyan, Liu Ping quickly pulled her off Zhang Youyou. Only then did Zhang Youyou take her phone and go outside. Unfortunately, there were many people in the dormitory, and even in the corridor, people kept passing by. Helpless, she had to take her phone to the rooftop. It was already winter, and she wasn't wearing a coat. The cold wind pierced through her sweater and stung her skin.
"What's up?"
“I want to talk to you,” Li Donghao said without wasting any words.
"There's nothing to talk about. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." Zhang Youyou didn't want to face him. If it weren't for Li Yanyan's encouragement, she wouldn't have answered the phone at all.
"Zhang Youyou!" Li Donghao exclaimed anxiously. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a sneeze coming from the other end of the phone. He changed the subject and asked her what was wrong? Was she cold?
Zhang Youyou stubbornly said it was none of his business, then hung up the phone and stood alone on the rooftop, suddenly not wanting to go down.
These past few days, she had been thinking about Li Donghao's words. Although she had liked him before, he liked gentle girls, which she wasn't. He liked girls with long hair, which she didn't have either. Zhang Youyou seriously thought through her own feelings from the inside out, but she really couldn't find any reason why he liked her. In the end, she concluded that he was just teasing her, or that he couldn't find a suitable partner and was using her as a substitute, just like she had said that if she couldn't find a suitable partner, she would marry Li Dongshuo. In short, because of a sentence from her grandfathers, they had all become pawns.
how so?
Zhang Youyou looked up at the sky and sighed. The cold air rushed into his lungs, causing a shiver to run through him.
Zhang Youyou couldn't take it anymore and had to take her phone downstairs. Back in her dorm, the warm breath entered her body, and Zhang Youyou even felt numb for a moment.
"You ran out without even putting on clothes, be careful not to catch a cold!" Liu Ping stuffed her hand warmer into Zhang Youyou's arms, and Zhang Youyou smiled and said thank you.
Li Yanyan had disappeared somewhere, leaving only Liu Ping and her in the dormitory. Although they were about the same age, Liu Ping seemed much more mature and self-disciplined. Zhang Youyou felt that if she had to live Liu Ping's life for even a day, she could stay in bed for half a month.
