Chapter 153, Seeking Advice
Originally, her desire to buy a house was just a passing fancy; she simply wasn't used to living with her parents. But now, it seems to be getting interesting.
After hanging up the video call, I thought for a moment and then sent a WeChat message to Li Donghao.
Zhang Youyou: What good advice do you have for buying a house?
She thought he was probably too busy to reply, but she received a reply in less than half a minute after sending the message.
Lee Dong-ho: You want to buy a house?
"Do you have to be so smart?" Zhang Youyou sighed helplessly, but still obediently replied: "That's what I meant."
Li Donghao: Now is not a good time to buy a house. I'll talk to you when I get back.
Zhang Youyou sent him a disdainful emoji. What's the big deal? We have to wait for him to come back. By the way, when did he say he'd be back? Never mind, it's better to rely on yourself than others. She'd better figure it out herself.
Zhang Youyou lay on the bed, idly browsing local housing information. She fell asleep in less than ten minutes; the information was just too boring.
Li Dongshuo told his brother about Zhang Youyou's desire to buy a house. His brother didn't say anything, only that he should keep an eye on Zhang Youyou. Li Dongshuo complained while accepting the situation.
Actually, part of the reason why Li Dongshuo has always given in to Zhang Youyou since they were young is because of his brother. There's nothing he can do about it; his brother is very protective of his own.
The night before, she was asking around about buying a house, but she forgot about it the next day. When her mother asked her if she wanted to go out to buy New Year's goods together, Zhang Youyou felt that staying at home was boring, so she agreed.
After a long time, the mother and daughter went out together.
Although online shopping is very convenient now, it's also nice to try on clothes in stores. You're just killing time anyway, so take a look and you might find something that suits you. However, Li Donghao can't enjoy this kind of fun because many of his clothes are custom-made.
Ugh, why did I suddenly think of him while I was shopping?
She regretted it as soon as she spat it out. After all, he was already on the "testing period" for being a potential romantic partner, and saying that to him seemed a bit inappropriate. But she didn't know what to do. Oh well, she decided to just look at clothes instead.
It turns out that choosing clothes is easier than choosing people. When you choose clothes in a store, you can try them on and ask people around you for their opinions. Online shopping also has a seven-day no-reason return policy. But it's much harder to choose people.
If it's just about being friends, then you can see if you share common interests, what kind of person they are, and if you get along well, you can continue the relationship. But if it's about being romantically involved, it's much more difficult. You'll have to consider a whole host of things, including their character, interests, values, abilities, family background, and so on. From feelings to reality, from the individual to the family, from the past to the present to the future, you have to think everything through. Not only that, but you also have to constantly get to know and adjust to each other in daily life. It's actually a very long process. Some people may live together for a lifetime and still not understand each other, while some people are truly destined for each other. I wonder which category she and Li Donghao belong to?
After changing her clothes, Zhang's mother wanted to ask Zhang Youyou's opinion, but she didn't respond after calling her several times. Thinking that she was tired and had changed again, she took her to a nearby milk tea shop to rest. Zhang Youyou also wanted to ask her mother about relationships, so she followed her.
It was a rare moment when the mother and daughter could sit face to face and drink milk tea in peace. Zhang Youyou hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question.
"Mom, how did you and Dad meet?"
Ms. Zhang didn't expect her daughter to ask this question, but judging from her expression, she guessed that her daughter was having relationship problems, and answered without hesitation, "We were classmates in junior high and high school."
Zhang Youyou's eyes widened. "You two were dating a long time ago?"
Zhang's mother glanced at her and said helplessly, "We were classmates in junior high and high school, but we only officially became a couple after graduating from university."
Zhang Youyou: ? ? ?
To prevent her daughter from overthinking, Zhang's mother had to recount her love story with Zhang's father, but she omitted everything that could be omitted.
