Chapter 118, Preparing Gifts
Because of her roommate's reminder, Zhang Youyou actually started seriously considering what Christmas gift to give Li Donghao. In the past, she didn't care at all, since they didn't see each other much for Christmas anyway. At most, she would receive a package from him, which was the same as what Li Dongshuo sent. But this year was different. As for how it was different, she couldn't say for sure, since they hadn't officially started dating yet. But she still had to think about a gift.
When she used to hang out with Lee Dong-seok, she often saw people giving him gifts, from drinks and chocolates to wallets and belts, all sorts of gifts. Every time she saw those things, Zhang Youyou couldn't help but sigh: those girls really need to get their eyes checked! But now the tables have turned, and she has to consider what gifts to give to boys.
Zhang Youyou sat on the sofa, sighing. If it were Li Dongshuo, she wouldn't need to rack her brains; she could just send him two apples. Unfortunately, it was Li Donghao, and she really didn't know what he needed.
She searched for "Christmas gifts for boys" on her phone, and the page recommended perfumes and bracelets. Scrolling down, she even found figurines. However, these things didn't seem to be of much use to Li Donghao. She had never seen him wear perfume or bracelets. He did have a lot of figurines, but they were all genuine items he had found, some of which were even rare and out of print. The prices were too high for her to afford.
Jumping from one app to another, the search results were all the same, only the answers differed. Zhang Youyou carefully compared several pages, finally settling on a gaming chair. After estimating the delivery time and confirming it would arrive before Christmas, he placed an order.
Zhang Youyou had made up her mind. If he liked it, all would be fine. If he didn't, she would take it to her dorm. In any case, she wouldn't give him a chance to ridicule her.
Will he ridicule himself?
When confirming the order, Zhang Youyou suddenly hesitated. She wouldn't have been like this before; she just always felt uneasy whenever Li Donghao was involved, even though their relationship had changed.
Why did things have to change? Zhang Youyou lamented inwardly. If only she could treat him like he didn't exist like before, but alas, life doesn't offer second chances.
After finishing a bowl of ramen, shrimp dumplings, and chicken feet, I still wasn't full. So I took out a small cake I bought yesterday from the refrigerator and sat on the sofa watching TV while eating it.
Because of work, Li Donghao rarely comes back, and Zhang Youyou is used to living here alone, but she sometimes feels very lonely.
I don't know if it was because I was in a bad mood, but I couldn't finish the cake after eating less than half of it. I also lost interest in watching my favorite cartoon. Fortunately, I packed up my things and went to take a shower. Anyway, I have class tomorrow, so I'll try to go to bed early and get up early to be more energetic in class.
When Li Donghao returned, Zhang Youyou was already asleep. The living room was fairly clean, except the trash can was full, but it was still quite good. Li Donghao threw the trash down before coming back to take a shower.
He's been busy with experiments lately and hasn't been home to spend much time with her. He wonders if she's unhappy about it. Christmas is coming soon, and he hopes to make time to be with her.
After placing an elegantly packaged box in the study drawer, Li Donghao took his pajamas and went to take a shower.
Mornings woken up by an alarm clock are always annoying.
After turning off the alarm for the second time, Zhang Youyou had to force herself to open her eyes. Although she had gone to bed early yesterday, getting up was still a real test of willpower.
After struggling for ten minutes, she finally said goodbye to her warm bed.
With blurry eyes, Zhang Youyou walked out of the bedroom and was about to go to the bathroom when she was attracted by a fragrant aroma. Squinting, she saw someone in the kitchen, and her eyes widened immediately.
"you?!!!"
Li Donghao, wearing an apron, greeted her with a smile as she stood there. Zhang Youyou was dumbfounded. Wasn't he busy in the lab? How did he have time to go home?
In her panic, she glanced down at her nightgown. Thankfully, it was still on her body; if even a corner had been lifted, she would have been humiliated.
Seeing that she was not moving, Li Donghao reminded her to wash up quickly, otherwise she would be late. Upon hearing the word "late", Zhang Youyou immediately ran to the bathroom. Li Donghao smiled and ladled the cooked porridge into a bowl.
