Chapter 115, Kiss
When Li Donghao returned home, Zhang Youyou was already asleep on the sofa. The TV was still playing "Cardcaptor Sakura." There were KFC and rice noodle packaging bags piled on the coffee table. Li Donghao looked at the bags, put down his bag, took off his coat, and finally went to Zhang Youyou's side. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he wanted to carry her back to the bedroom, but she woke up as soon as he touched her. She stared at him for a while with sleepy eyes before she could see clearly.
"You're back!" The voice was soft, like a child's.
"Have you been waiting long?" He stroked her face with his large hand, brushing stray hairs behind her ear, his eyes full of love. Unfortunately, Zhang Youyou was not fully awake at this moment, and only vaguely understood his words.
"Um."
"Shall I take you back to your room?"
Zhang Youyou thought for a while before replying, "I haven't taken a shower yet."
Even though he was so tired, he still wanted to take a shower. Li Donghao couldn't help but laugh, and Zhang Youyou was awakened by his laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing. Go back to your room and clear your head. I'll go get you some water."
"No need, just a quick rinse will do." Zhang Youyou said casually, and tried to get up, but because she had been sleeping with her arm under her head, her arm was numb and she couldn't support herself to get up. Fortunately, Li Donghao was there and helped her sit up. Seeing that she wasn't fully awake yet, he told her to wake up first, while he rolled up his sleeves and tidied the coffee table.
Zhang Youyou immediately sobered up when she saw the messy coffee table, and even blushed.
"I'll do this!"
Li Donghao glanced at her and joked, "You know how to tidy up?"
Zhang Youyou fell silent. To be honest, she rarely tidied up, mainly because no one could find her things after she did, so their only requirement for her was to tidy up her own things; they didn't need to worry about anything else.
Zhang Youyou felt particularly guilty watching him squat in front of the coffee table, throw those things into the trash can, and then find a rag to wipe the coffee table. Luckily, he had laid an oil-proof cloth on his coffee table, otherwise, if those things had dirtied his coffee table, she wondered if it would have lowered her status in his heart.
Zhang Youyou was lost in thought, completely unaware that her eyes were fixed on Li Donghao until he put on his coat and went downstairs to throw out the trash. Only then did Zhang Youyou realize what was happening, nodding haphazardly, and finally letting out a sigh of relief as the door closed.
Was she being too direct?
Lying back on the sofa, Zhang Youyou felt utterly humiliated. Although she hadn't made a good impression on Li Donghao, she didn't want things to get any worse.
She hugged the doll, kicked her legs, and hummed a few words until she coughed. She then popped her head out and was shocked to see the oil stains on the doll. She rushed to the bathroom and found that not only was there oil on her mouth, but there was also ketchup on her face. So, was she talking to Li Donghao in this disheveled state?
Zhang Youyou suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.
As soon as Li Donghao returned, he heard a pitiful scream coming from the bathroom. Startled, he rushed over and opened the door to see Zhang Youyou standing in front of the mirror, splashing water on her face. Li Donghao stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Youyou was startled by his sudden appearance, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was really him.
"fine."
Li Donghao looked at her, calmed himself down, and told her to take a shower first. He then went to the study. Zhang Youyou saw him leave and hurriedly chased after him, calling out to him before he opened the study door.
The two were only two or three meters apart, but Zhang Youyou felt as if he were being stared at, and her heart was racing with nervousness.
Li Donghao turned to look at her. Zhang Youyou clenched her fists, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Are we going home together during the holidays?"
Lee Dong-ho looked at her helplessly and said, "I might not be back that early. Should I have Dong-seok pick you up?"
Zhang Youyou quickly shook her head, "No need, I can go back by myself."
"You're already thinking about a holiday before New Year's Day is even here?" Li Donghao smiled as he walked towards her. Zhang Youyou was so nervous that she didn't move. When he stopped in front of her, he patted her head with his large hand and said in a deep voice, "Because of what happened before, we need to be more careful here. If necessary, stay over there. Don't wait for me when you come back. Lock the door and get some rest, okay?"
Zhang Youyou nodded obediently, and Li Donghao smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Zhang Youyou was stunned.
