Chapter 107, Waiting
Although Zhang Youyou knew that many people didn't care about gender when choosing a partner, she was still shocked to hear it said so openly.
Fortunately, she quickly changed the subject, and Zhang Youyou slowly calmed down. Unfortunately, Liu Ping threw another pebble into her heart.
"Are they childhood sweethearts?"
Zhang Youyou nervously looked at the girl with shoulder-length hair. The girl silently put the bacon she had picked out into her plate and looked at them calmly, saying, "It's not really that. If I really have to say anything, I can only say that we have a good relationship."
Then, as if realizing something, he added, "Who knows about feelings? At that age and stage, who would dare to openly express their feelings? Besides, they are both so good at studying. If they were to reveal anything more than friendship, their teachers and parents would probably take turns lecturing them."
So that's how it is. It turns out Meng Xiao also had female classmates with whom he had a good relationship.
Cheng Qiu, who had been focused on eating and drinking, suddenly spoke up, "Hey, Zhang Youyou, don't you also have a childhood sweetheart? You even said before that you two were betrothed as children!"
One sentence immediately drew everyone's attention to her, and Zhang Youyou wished she could hide herself under the table.
Cheng Qiu, you big mouth, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!
Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to run away.
"Don't talk nonsense. He's just a younger brother. The arranged marriage was just a family joke. We'll never be together!"
Stop mentioning the arranged marriage. She doesn't even dare to meet Li Donghao because of it.
"What about Assistant Li? Aren't you and him supposed to be betrothed since childhood?"
At this moment, Zhang Youyou really wanted to pick up the hot pot full of vegetables and meat and shove it directly into Cheng Qiu's mouth. This roommate was too much of a jerk.
Before anyone could take their eyes off her, Cheng Qiu's words brought them back to life.
Teaching Assistant Li, arranged marriage, and her—these few simple words ignited their curiosity to the extreme. So, she and Li Donghao are very close?
“Hey, tell me about it!” another long-haired girl asked.
Zhang Youyou knew that if she didn't make things clear today, she wouldn't be able to leave this door, so she had no choice but to confess, "My family and Li Donghao's family are old friends, so I know him, but we have no relationship whatsoever, we're just acquaintances."
Liu Ping, who was not originally interested in joining in the fun, suddenly said, "Well, it was just a casual acquaintance. I stayed at his house for more than 20 days a month after we met!"
Before Zhang Youyou could retort, they all exclaimed in unison, "Oh~~~"
Zhang Youyou knew that all explanations were futile, so he lowered his head and continued to struggle with the beef ball.
She used to think her roommates took good care of her, but now she realizes that they always manage to trick her unexpectedly.
A perfectly good meal turned into gossip about others and ended with gossip about themselves. Although Zhang Youyou ate quite a lot, she didn't really enjoy the food. Instead, she was curious about the relationship between Meng Xiao and the school beauty, wondering what kind of relationship they had.
After dinner, it was already dark. When Zhang Youyou came out with his roommates and Meng Xiao, he was wondering whether to take a taxi back when Li Donghao suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant. Everyone was surprised to see Li Donghao, especially the girls who had been talking about him earlier, whose eyes were practically glowing with hearts. Only Zhang Youyou subconsciously took a step back, but he didn't notice that the person behind him stepped on his foot.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
The boy generously said it was okay, but Zhang Youyou felt incredibly embarrassed.
Before she could recover from her embarrassment, Li Donghao arrived in front of them, exchanged a few words with the head of their school's basketball team, and then came to her.
"I've come to take you home!" This simple sentence made the girls around her gasp. Although Zhang Youyou was reluctant, she didn't want to refuse him, especially since he didn't force her to leave like before. So she carefully walked over, said goodbye to her roommates and other classmates, and left with him.
Zhang Youyou didn't know how long he had been waiting outside, but she felt that he had a cold aura about him, and she wasn't in a good mood either.
