Chapter 143, Persuasion
During what should have been a pleasant meal, Ji Yuxuan ate without tasting it, Li Dongshuo was distracted, the boys were secretly pondering their own thoughts, only Zhang Youyou ate with great relish.
Lee Dong-seok looked at her, who hadn't eaten eight meals, and didn't know what to say.
It wasn't that Zhang Youyou was heartless, but rather that she felt it was unnecessary. Ji Yuxuan had come out with him, and she didn't seem to mind at all, which meant that she had a good relationship with the boy. There was really no need for them to worry too much right now. If they really wanted to know something, they would find out by tomorrow at the latest. However, this didn't stop her from sending a WeChat message to Ji Yuxuan.
Lee Dong-seok grew increasingly annoyed that she couldn't stop playing on her phone even while drinking water.
"Can you stop just playing on your phone?"
Sensing his frustration, Zhang Youyou finished sending a message, placed her phone on the table, and looked up at him.
"What else? Should I stay and watch them with you? That's insane!"
"What can we do? Are we just going to watch them sit there chatting and laughing?"
Zhang Youyou gave a gossipy smile, "Otherwise what? Are you going to run over and separate them? Who do you think you are, just randomly separating a couple of friends having dinner? Are you drunk?"
Lee Dong-seok looked at her in confusion, only to see her open her phone again and hand it to him.
"They are siblings, cousins, closer than you and me!"
When Li Dongshuo saw Ji Yuxuan's reply, "He is my uncle's older brother," he felt much relieved and handed the phone back to her.
"I... I knew it! Why would I be out having dinner with someone so late at night?" Lee Dong-seok gave an awkward explanation that was utterly unconvincing.
Zhang Youyou took the phone and put it aside casually, saying, "Yeah, why would an ordinary person go out to dinner with someone late at night? Especially a pretty girl like me!"
Lee Dong-seok lost his appetite even more.
After dinner, Ji Yuxuan came over to say goodbye and left. Li Dongshuo wanted to take them home, but Ji Yuxuan refused because they had also driven there. Li Dongshuo sat there dejectedly until their figures disappeared at the door.
Zhang Youyou knew what he was thinking. She called his name twice and waited for him to look at her before speaking, "If you like her, don't drag it out. She'll come to me tomorrow, and I'll create an opportunity for you to confess to her."
Lee Dong-seok couldn't help but chuckle at her earnest expression. "When did you become a relationship guru?"
"I'm not a relationship guru, I'm just worried you'll miss out on a great girl!" Zhang Youyou rarely showed such a serious expression, and Li Dongshuo remained silent.
"If you have feelings for Ji Yuxuan, just say it. Why torture yourself? I think Ji Yuxuan isn't indifferent to you either. Are you going to wait for her to confess first? What if she meets someone better? Besides, isn't this the reason we came here? Whether it works out or not, we'll be leaving in a couple of days. If it works out, you'll have a girlfriend; if it doesn't, you won't have to see each other. Isn't that great!"
Listening to her talkative tone, Lee Dong-seok finally couldn't help but ask, "Was this the same with my brother back then?"
Zhang Youyou's fist clenched instantly. She had kindly helped him pursue someone, only to be the subject of gossip herself—why bother?
"Since that's the case, then I don't care anymore. I'll send her a WeChat message right now and tell her she doesn't need to come tomorrow. I'm going home!" As she said this, she picked up her phone to send a WeChat message, but Li Dongshuo quickly ran over to stop her.
"Okay, Youyou, I was wrong, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
Zhang Youyou looked at him and ordered him to let go. Li Dongshuo shook his head repeatedly, afraid that she would send him a WeChat message. Zhang Youyou lowered her head and bit the back of his hand. Li Dongshuo had no choice but to let go. He didn't care whether they were in public or not, and said sternly, "Zhang Youyou, are you a dog?"
Everyone in the restaurant looked over at the same time. Zhang Youyou silently turned her head away, and the once lively restaurant suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Li Dongshuo realized the change in atmosphere and slowly turned his head. Seeing that everyone was looking at them, he nodded and apologized repeatedly. Finally, he pulled Zhang Youyou away.
