Chapter 140, Departure
Grandpa disagreed with the idea of the two of them going on a trip as soon as they got home. After all, they hadn't seen each other for half a year, and it would be a lie to say he didn't miss them. But when Zhang Youyou secretly told Grandpa that she was going to take Li Dongshuo on a date, Grandpa's eyes widened immediately, and his voice even rose a few octaves.
Zhang Youyou persuaded him with a mix of genuine and feigned pleas, and Grandpa finally agreed. He reminded them to go and come back early and to be careful. Zhang Youyou immediately agreed. Li Dongshuo didn't know how she talked to Grandpa, but since Grandpa agreed, that was the best thing. So that night, the two of them got together to book a hotel, contacted Ji Yuxuan, and packed their things.
"So, what did she say?" Li Dongshuo, who had just booked the hotel, leaned over, but Zhang Youyou immediately turned her phone away so he couldn't see it.
"secret!"
Lee Dong-seok was furious. "You took me on a date and now you're telling me a secret? Am I supposed to go or not?"
"Of course I'll go! And I'll leave as early as possible!" Zhang Youyou said seriously, then took out her phone to show him the chat history, "See? She has classmates inviting her to dinner, and they're not even the first ones to invite her after she got home!"
Zhang Youyou patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Keep it up, my friend! If you're any later, the duck that's already in your mouth might fly away!"
Lee Dong-seok took the phone and scrolled through their chat history. The more he read, the uglier his expression became, completely ignoring Zhang Youyou's choice of words.
Zhang Youyou didn't mind and leaned on his shoulder, looking at her phone screen, saying, "I told you she's very popular!" After saying that, she asked him which hotel he had booked. Li Dongshuo handed her his phone directly. Zhang Youyou looked through it and found that he had actually booked two rooms, so she immediately denied it. At this point, Li Dongshuo had no choice but to look at her.
"Is it appropriate for the two of us, a single man and a single woman, to book two rooms?"
Lee Dong-seok blinked, clearly unable to understand the sentence.
Holding up her phone, Zhang Youyou explained, "I'm a girl living alone in a strange city. Is it safe for me? What if something happens? Who will be responsible?"
“We live next door, so I can hear whatever’s going on your end.”
"It'll be too late by the time you hear this. No, cancel this and order again!"
Li Dongshuo asked her which one she wanted to choose. Zhang Youyou flipped through the pages and pointed to a two-bedroom suite, saying, "This one, this one is the best!"
Li Dongshuo's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the price. Although his family was well-off and he had plenty of pocket money, he had just bought a house and still hadn't bought some things. He didn't want to be extravagant, but seeing Zhang Youyou's expression and hearing his brother's advice, he had no choice but to accept. Zhang Youyou was still saying that she chose an apartment for his own good: firstly, so they could take care of each other; secondly, it was safer; and finally, they could invite Ji Yuxuan over so it wouldn't be awkward. Listening to her explanation, Li Dongshuo could only think that her shamelessness had improved considerably.
Once everything was ready, the two went back to their rooms to pack their things. It wasn't much; they just needed to take two sets of clothes to change into.
After Li Dongshuo left, Zhang Youyou took two sets of clothes and, after thinking for a moment, transferred some money to her phone.
Because they were going out the next day, the two packed their things and went to bed early. As for the car, the family driver had already filled it with gas, but when the two set off, Grandpa still repeatedly reminded them to be careful.
Last night, after checking the route, the two of them set off in their car. Although both of them had driver's licenses, Zhang Youyou's driving skills were really not good, and she barely passed the test, so neither the Zhang nor Li families allowed her to drive. On the other hand, Li Dongshuo learned to drive from his family's driver after finishing his lessons, and now his driving skills are pretty good, but he has never driven a long distance before, and today was his first time.
It was Li Dongshuo's first time driving a long distance, and he was quite nervous with a driver sitting next to him who couldn't drive. Fortunately, he had asked the driver the day before, and the driver said that he could just drive as usual. So Li Dongshuo kept encouraging himself, and Zhang Youyou didn't have any worries, which made him feel very at ease.
