Chapter 124, What about me?
He readily agreed, but Zhang Youyou secretly ran downstairs while Li Donghao was in the study. After all, the gift was a car, and he still wanted to check it out.
Zhang Youyou found Li Donghao's car in the residential area, so she ran to the underground parking garage and found a BMW in Li Donghao's parking space. She tried the central locking system, and the headlights came on. Zhang Youyou was sure that this was the new car that Li Donghao had given her, and happily ran to the driver's seat.
She and Li Dongshuo got their driver's licenses at the same time, but after they started driving, they realized how big the gap was between them. Li Dongshuo could drive the family car whenever he wanted, while she always got rejected when she applied. She even tried to sneak off to the car once, but was caught red-handed as soon as she opened the door. After that, she learned her lesson—mainly because school was about to start and she needed to prepare well.
I'm so happy that I got my own car after only a few months of studying!
Zhang Youyou sat in the driver's seat, gently stroking the steering wheel as if caressing a beloved person. Immersed in joy, Zhang Youyou did not notice the person who came to the car.
Three knocks on the window made Zhang Youyou look up sharply, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Li Donghao.
"You scared me to death! What are you doing?" Zhang Youyou opened the car door, and Li Donghao glanced at it before realizing that she hadn't started the engine. He breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to the car, and got into the passenger seat.
"You ran down here in the middle of the night just to look at cars?" Li Donghao closed the car door and locked it. Zhang Youyou looked at him in confusion.
"The first thing to do when driving is to lock the doors and windows after you get in the car!" Li Donghao reminded, "This is for your safety."
Zhang Youyou looked at him, unsure of what to say. He had just said he'd have Li Dongshuo teach her, but now she was the teacher herself.
"Is it really that dangerous for a girl to drive?" Zhang Youyou's gaze returned to the dashboard, still puzzled by many of the instruments on it.
I used to think that drivers were very capable, knowing what every button did. Now that I'm in their shoes, I just feel dizzy and lightheaded.
My driving instructor didn't teach me this much detail!
“It’s not dangerous for girls to drive, but protecting yourself is the top priority,” Li Donghao said, pointing to a button with his index finger. “This is to start.”
Zhang Youyou watched him press the button and then looked at him again, "Do you really have to teach me today?"
Li Donghao looked back, puzzled: "You don't want to learn?"
"I just wanted to get down and take a look at the car, to see what it looks like. As for learning to drive, I'll wait until the holidays."
Li Donghao looked at her speechlessly, turned off the car, adjusted the backrest, and sat there comfortably.
"Do you like it?" Lee Dong-ho asked.
"I like it!" Zhang Youyou said without any attempt to hide it.
"And what about me?"
Zhang Youyou paused, her hands still on the buttons, and she froze, while Li Donghao leaned back in his seat watching her.
The joyful expression was replaced by shock, and Zhang Youyou was at a loss.
Although she had already made a breakthrough, Zhang Youyou still didn't know how to answer when asked so openly now.
Li Donghao wasn't in a hurry. He just watched her silently. When he saw her stiff body, he adjusted his posture slightly and shifted his gaze to the car in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "Winter break is coming soon. Don't you want to give yourself and Grandpa an answer?"
Zhang Youyou lowered her head slightly, biting her red lips lightly, her hands intertwined. She looked at them entwined for a long time before finally asking softly, "And you? Are you serious?"
If it were someone else, Zhang Youyou might have been able to pretend to be in a relationship to avoid the arranged marriage, but he was Li Donghao, and there were many other unclear and ambiguous things besides the arranged marriage, so she had to hesitate.
"What do you think?" Li Donghao looked at her again, and seeing her hesitation, he reached out and grabbed her hand, enveloping it in his palm.
"Zhang Youyou, would you like to be with me?"
The underground parking lot was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, but in Zhang Youyou's heart, a huge firework display was exploding.
