Chapter 146, Differences
After changing her clothes, Zhang Youyou grabbed her phone and bag and was about to leave when she remembered something. She called Li Dongshuo to ask about the room key, and Li Dongshuo said it was with him. Zhang Youyou then closed the door and went downstairs.
Zhang Youyou chose the restaurant recommended by Ji Yuxuan. She originally planned to eat barbecue, but since no one would grill it for her, she had to give up. She then looked around and found a nice private kitchen nearby, so she decided to give it a try.
As soon as she got off the elevator, she took out her phone to navigate, but bumped into someone and almost dropped her phone. Zhang Youyou politely apologized, but was blocked from continuing to walk, which made her a little impatient.
"Didn't I apologize?" Zhang Youyou was stunned when she looked up and realized it was Ji Yuxuan's brother. She hadn't expected him to still be there.
"Is there something you need?" Since they were acquaintances, she didn't need to stand on ceremony.
"I've been waiting all morning, may I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?" Ji Huai'an asked with a gentle smile.
Zhang Youyou shrugged dismissively, walked past him for a couple of steps, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Can you grill meat?"
Ji Huai'an hadn't expected her way of thinking to be so strange. Just because she knew how to grill meat and make hot pot, she thought they could have a meal together. But this girl seemed to be spoiled. She actually complained about the cold weather and insisted that he drive his car to the door to pick her up. His sister always went to get the car with Li Dongshuo! The difference between people is just too great!
Even so, he still obediently got his car to pick her up, and Ji Huai'an even waited for him to open the car door.
Once in the car, Zhang Youyou rubbed her nose and said with disdain, "The perfume in your car is too strong."
It's been less than half an hour since we met, and she's been nitpicking. Is it intentional or just her true nature? If it's intentional, then he'll have to carefully consider whether he agrees to Ji Yuxuan dating Li Dongshuo. If it's just her true nature, then he'll definitely stop her.
"Really? This is the flavor that Xuanxuan likes."
Zhang Youyou glanced at him and snorted disdainfully, then laughed, "You're not talking about Ji Yuxuan, are you? You're supposed to be her brother, haven't you noticed she never wears perfume?"
This answer was unexpected for Ji Huai'an; he hadn't imagined that this nitpicking woman would have such a meticulous side. His curiosity, which had finally subsided, resurfaced.
"You share a dorm room with her?" Only her roommates would know her that well.
"Of course not, you'll know once you've been around her a few times. Most people apply perfume behind their ears or on their wrists, or at most, just a sliver of fragrance on their clothes. But when you're around her, do you smell a strong perfume scent? It's mostly on her clothes or her hair. That faint perfume scent either comes from her roommate or from your car, and it dissipates after a short walk."
She managed to rave about something so simple—she's really something to be reckoned with.
"You're very smart!"
"Of course!" Zhang Youyou accepted without hesitation. "How could you get into F University if you weren't smart?"
She was indeed no ordinary person, and Ji Huai'an's curiosity about her grew even stronger.
When they arrived near the hot pot restaurant, Ji Huai'an looked for a parking space. Zhang Youyou did not offer to get out of the car until they stopped. Only then did Zhang Youyou unbuckle her seatbelt. This time, she did not wait for him to open the car door for her and opened the door herself to get out. Before getting out, she did not forget to put on her hat.
The two arrived at the barbecue restaurant. Zhang Youyou found the decor to be quite nice and there weren't many people inside. Before she could speak, Ji Huai'an took the initiative to ask for a private room, but then suddenly felt it wasn't a good idea and changed their mind and went back to the main hall.
The waiter found them a quiet place, and the two sat down. Zhang Youyou put down her bag and said to him, "It seems you often take girls to private rooms."
He took the tea brought by the waiter, poured her a cup himself, and said with a smile, "I was afraid of neglecting you!"
Zhang Youyou glanced at the tea in front of her, then gently touched the inside of the cup, the warm breath bringing a touch of comfort to her skin.
"No, that's not true. It's already a favor that you're having dinner with me."
