Chapter 126, Initiative
Regarding that unrequited love that ended without fruition, apart from mentioning it briefly to Lee Dong-seok when she was drunk, she hadn't told anyone. Now, because of Lee Dong-ho's confession, that painful memory resurfaced, and Jang Yoo-yo became timid.
"I don't know," Zhang Youyou managed to say, finding her voice amidst the chaos.
With her emotions calming down a bit, Zhang Youyou continued, "I have never considered you as a marriage partner, and I don't know how to answer your question now."
Li Donghao didn't press her, but gently kneaded her hand and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, you can think about it slowly."
It was rare to see him so gentle, and Zhang Youyou was even more at a loss for what to do. She could only look down at her clothes, while Li Donghao watched as a smile gradually appeared on his face.
I went downstairs to look at cars, but now, before I've even finished looking at the cars, I've received his confession. I'm still in a daze even after I get home.
"I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!" Zhang Youyou said subconsciously as she walked towards her room.
Seeing that she was about to go into the room, Li Donghao called out to her. Zhang Youyou stopped and turned around, only to be embraced tightly by someone, feeling a warm breath on her neck.
"I'll give you time to think it over. Don't keep me waiting too long."
Zhang Youyou was stunned. Before he could let go, she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips. Before he could react, she let go, turned around, went into the house, and closed the door.
The door separated the two people, but it couldn't separate their rapidly beating hearts.
Zhang Youyou finally came to her senses. Leaning against the door, she trembled as she waved her hands in front of her eyes. She didn't know what had gotten into her. Why had she kissed him on her own initiative? She had said she needed to think it over, but now she really needed time to figure out how to face him.
Li Donghao was equally confused. Although he had confessed, Zhang Youyou hadn't given him a clear answer. Even though her behavior had been quite obvious, he wouldn't feel at ease until she gave him a definite answer. Moreover, winter break was approaching, and she would be hanging out with Li Dongshuo again after she went back home. Although Li Dongshuo didn't have feelings for her, no one wanted to see the girl they liked with another man.
To be honest, he envied Lee Dong-seok, who had been with her from kindergarten to high school. If he hadn't had other plans, they probably would have even gone to university together. If that had happened, he was afraid he would have had no chance at all. He was suddenly very glad that Lee Dong-seok hadn't come.
I stood at the door for a while, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, so I turned around and went back to the study. But when I sat in front of the computer, I didn't know what to do. My rough fingertips gently stroked the lips she had kissed, feeling both happy and satisfied.
Zhang Youyou didn't sleep half the night because of what happened last night. His words and his own actions kept replaying in his mind. After replaying them so many times, he stopped regretting it. He just doubted whether his kissing skills were good or not.
Pulling the blanket over her face, Zhang Youyou finally experienced the feeling of shyness.
Zhang Youyou had thought that as long as she was in the late stages of her illness, she wouldn't run into Li Donghao who was going to the lab. However, she was surprised to see Li Donghao busy in the kitchen when she went to the bathroom.
The door opening was probably too loud, because Li Donghao, who was busy at the time, turned around and smiled when he saw her.
"woke up?"
Because of what happened yesterday, Zhang Youyou hadn't figured out how to deal with him. Now that he had caught her, she had nowhere to hide and could only stand there waiting for his judgment.
Zhang Youyou finally realized that no matter how willful she was, she always felt somewhat inferior when facing Li Donghao.
The one who falls in love first is always the most humble.
"You didn't go to school?"
"I'm off today." He smiled at her, "I'll keep you company!"
Zhang Youyou gasped, turned around abruptly, and went into the bathroom.
What kind of horror story is this? It's so scary this early in the morning!
