Chapter 122, Saying Nice Things
As the two were talking, the dishes were served, and Zhang Youyou invited her to eat. They ate and chatted, with Zhang Youyou doing most of the talking and Ji Yuxuan occasionally chiming in, but mostly remaining silent.
“We grew up together. Although we bickered and fought, I still trusted his character.”
“When he was in school, people often gave him love letters and gifts, but he refused them all. He seems easy to talk to, but he is actually very stubborn. However, he will do his best to achieve what he likes.”
“I felt something was off when he asked for your WeChat during dinner. Many people have asked for his WeChat before, but he rarely gives it to them or flaunts mine in public. But that time was really different. And every time he mentioned you, he immediately changed his demeanor. Honestly, I’ve never seen him be gentle before. He’s really different towards you.”
Zhang Youyou occasionally ate a bite of food, but mostly talked about Li Dongshuo.
"I'm telling you this not to force you to be with him, but because I think you're a good person. It would be best if you could meet someone you love in return, but of course, it's okay if you don't like him. I won't distance myself from you because of him!"
Although Ji Yuxuan kept her head down while eating, she listened to everything Zhang Youyou said. Although she had only been in contact with Li Dongshuo via WeChat lately, she could tell he was a nice person. However, was their relationship, at best an online romance, reliable?
"Has he... never been in a relationship?"
"No." Zhang Youyou didn't hide anything. "Because we're often together, a lot of people think we're a couple. The school even looked into it because of this, and in the end, they found out we're actually siblings. You didn't see the teachers' expressions, they were hilarious!"
Perhaps it was her lighthearted tone that made Ji Yuxuan laugh.
"Come on, try this!" Seeing that she was staring at one dish, Zhang Youyou recommended other dishes to her and continued to tell her interesting stories about herself and Li Dongshuo.
Zhang Youyou got more and more excited as he talked, and Ji Yuxuan listened happily. Before they knew it, the meal had lasted for more than an hour. When it came time to pay the bill, Ji Yuxuan suggested splitting the bill, but Zhang Youyou rejected the idea.
As they walked out of the store, Zhang Youyou bought two more cups of milk tea when they were almost at school. The two chatted as they walked until they got back to school. Ji Yuxuan ran into her roommate who was returning from the supermarket, and the two had to part ways. Zhang Youyou whispered a few more words to her before returning to his own dormitory.
I used to see other people's relationships as easy and happy, but I never thought it would be so difficult when it came to me and my brother. If I had known this would happen, I would have just settled for Li Dongshuo. But that would be too unfair to Ji Yuxuan.
Although it's unknown whether the two of them will end up together, it seems that Ji Yuxuan isn't heartless. The rest is up to them.
Slumped into a chair, Zhang Youyou cleared her mind and prepared to think about how to give Li Donghao a gift that evening.
He said he would be home on Christmas Eve, and I thought it would be a long time before he came. I didn't expect it to be here so soon.
"Milk tea, is it good?" Li Yanyan asked, peeking out when she saw her lost in thought.
Zhang Youyou remained in that position and mumbled, "It's alright."
Cheng Qiu glanced at it and reminded her, "Does she mean for you to see how her makeup looks?"
Upon receiving the reminder, Zhang Youyou turned around and saw that she had put on a sexy and charming makeup. He couldn't help but shudder and leaned back.
"What are you doing? Trying to catch a demon?"
Cheng Qiu laughed, "Are you sure she's exorcising demons and not exorcising demons?"
After thinking seriously for three seconds, Zhang Youyou nodded. "Tell me, who are you going to seduce?"
Li Yanyan straightened up, went to the mirror to check her makeup and hair, and then started applying her red lipstick: "Of course, it's men who want to take the bait! Haven't any of you made plans?"
Cheng Qiu cleared her throat awkwardly. Liu Ping openly said she had an appointment with Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou, a euphemism for sleep deprivation). When it was Zhang Youyou's turn, she remained silent, unsure of what to say. However, it didn't matter whether she spoke or not, because they all knew she was staying at Li Donghao's house and would see him regardless of whether she had an appointment or not, and that was enough.
