Chapter 119, Christmas Eve
Zhang Youyou couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten breakfast. Because Li Donghao wasn't home, it was already difficult for her to get into the classroom on time, let alone have breakfast. But Li Donghao came back last night, and this morning she could have a hot breakfast without worrying about being late. It was a win-win situation.
Zhang Youyou happily ate her breakfast, while Li Donghao watched her curiously.
Why are you so happy?
Zhang Youyou forgot about the ambiguous relationship between the two and focused only on eating, casually replying, "Of course I'm happy, I haven't had breakfast in a long time!"
Lee Dong-ho's expression turned serious: "You haven't had breakfast for a while?"
Zhang Youyou picked up another fried dough stick and put it on her plate. "Yeah! I have to get up early for class every day, how can I have time for breakfast? Even dinner is takeout!" After saying that, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. She looked up and saw his serious expression, then immediately lowered her head and whispered, "Actually, it's not so bad, I'm on a diet..."
I've known her for so many years and I've never seen her lose weight; this excuse is completely untenable.
"Are you rushing to and from school?" Li Donghao asked gently.
Zhang Youyou's eyes darted around, "It's alright, there are shared bikes downstairs..."
Li Donghao stopped asking, knowing he wouldn't get a definite answer no matter how much he asked. He simply reminded her to eat quickly so she wouldn't be late, and Zhang Youyou immediately picked up her bowl and started drinking her porridge.
Someone prepared breakfast, and someone else took her to class; it was a very pleasant morning. As they approached school, Li Donghao said he would be home on Christmas Eve. Zhang Youyou responded with an "oh," not understanding what he meant. Li Donghao seemed to sense her confusion and added, "You can tell me in advance what you want to eat, and I'll make it."
Zhang Youyou glanced at him timidly and nodded.
Because Li Donghao would be back on Christmas Eve, Zhang Youyou had been very happy these past few days, constantly thinking about the things she liked to eat and checking the logistics to see where the gift she bought for him was. However, before the gift she bought for Li Donghao arrived, she received a call from Li Dongshuo.
Zhang Youyou had to abandon the food delivery order and answer the phone first.
"What's wrong?"
"Zhang Youyou, you're really nice. You actually sent me a box of apples. Thank you!" Li Dongshuo said happily.
"Don't be shy, those apples are mainly for winning over your roommate. Speaking of which, you still haven't given me a handsome picture of your roommate!" She still remembered the joke from before.
Lee Dong-seok chuckled dryly, and she knew that she held no place in his heart whatsoever.
"Hey, did you prepare a gift for my brother?" After all, they were childhood friends, and even though they were thousands of miles apart, he could sense the changes in her.
When this was mentioned, Zhang Youyou blushed, but she couldn't show any weakness in front of Li Dongshuo.
Why would I prepare a gift for him? Shouldn't he be the one preparing one for me?
"That's true. But I haven't received a gift from my brother yet. I wonder if he forgot?"
Not knowing how long they would chat, Zhang Youyou picked up another phone, opened an app to order takeout, and casually replied, "Maybe, he's been very busy lately."
"What are you busy with?"
"Of course he's busy with lab work, he probably won't be able to go home even during the holidays..." After saying that, Zhang Youyou seemed to realize something and immediately shut his mouth, coughing awkwardly. "Why are you calling? If you want to know about your brother, call him yourself."
Li Dongshuo naturally dared not laugh out loud, and could only go along with it.
"I'm calling because I need something from you, okay, Youyou!"
Zhang Youyou got goosebumps all over.
"Get to the point, stop with all this nonsense!"
Knowing she couldn't handle it, Lee Dong-seok smiled and said seriously, "The gift I prepared for you is on its way, and there's another gift I need your help with."
"What kind of help?"
"I also prepared a gift for Ji Yuxuan. Please pass it on to her."
The person was familiar, the voice was familiar, but the tone sounded unfamiliar. Zhang Youyou's eyes darted around, and she smiled, "What kind of gift is this? It's so formal, does it need to be handed over?"
