Chapter 164, Purchase
Zhang Youyou has many hobbies, but eating is the most prominent one.
"Hmm, this sweet and sour pork is pretty good!" Zhang Youyou commented while eating.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Li Donghao ordered winter melon meatball soup, but Zhang Youyou didn't care at all what he ordered, only caring about her appetite.
"Eat slowly, no one will take it from you." Li Donghao ladled out some meatball soup for her and placed it aside.
Zhang Youyou's cheeks were bulging from eating, making her look like a little hamster. She couldn't answer at all. Li Donghao was happy to see her eating so happily. He wanted her to gradually lower her guard and accept him little by little.
Zhang Youyou, who had eaten most of her rice, noticed that the other person had been taking care of her without eating anything, so she asked curiously. Li Donghao said that he was there to serve her. Zhang Youyou glanced at him, her ears quickly turned red, and she buried her face in her bowl.
After finally finishing her meal, Zhang Youyou was drinking soup from her bowl, her eyes glancing at Li Donghao every now and then. Li Donghao just stared at her, and Zhang Youyou choked.
He had only meant to tease her, but it backfired. Li Donghao patiently patted her back and gave her water when she felt better.
Zhang Youyou took a big gulp and finally felt better, but when she saw his face so close to hers, she couldn't help but push him away. Li Donghao knew she was shy and accepted it happily.
The two stayed at the restaurant for a while, and Li Donghao asked her what her plans were. Finally, a topic of conversation was brought up, and Zhang Youyou immediately changed the subject to the Spring Festival decorations. Li Donghao nodded and said that he would leave everything to her. Zhang Youyou was shy, but stubbornly huffed.
As they walked and looked around, Zhang Youyou didn't really have any ideas. She just saw her mother buying some Spring Festival couplets and flowers and thought she should decorate Li Donghao's house like that too.
"What are your plans?" Zhang Youyou asked.
The two were quite different in height, and with people coming and going around them, it was difficult for her to hear clearly, so Li Donghao had to bend down and ask her to repeat herself.
"I mean, do you have any ideas for the decorations? Like, what flowers to buy? What 'Fu' character to put up?"
"I have no opinion, I'll do whatever you say!"
Zhang Youyou, feeling playful, tilted her chin up and asked, "Can your wallet handle it?"
Lee Dong-ho's lips curled up. "Barely!"
Zhang Youyou couldn't suppress her smugness as she watched his profile recede into the distance.
Zhang Youyou pulled him along to choose Spring Festival couplets and the character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune), and then picked out a few more small lanterns.
"Oh, right, and the lucky bucket too!" Zhang Youyou said, and Li Donghao immediately followed.
The shopping cart was full in no time. Zhang Youyou looked at the pitifully small number of flowers and decisively chose the flower market.
When I was shopping, I realized that he only comes home when he's on vacation. Who takes care of him the rest of the time?
"We can ask Auntie to come and water them!" Li Donghao said matter-of-factly. Zhang Youyou suddenly realized that she no longer had to hold back and could plant roses, hydrangeas, and kumquats all at once.
When they returned, Li Donghao's car was completely full.
Zhang Youyou was very satisfied with her spoils, but she wasn't so happy while carrying them.
"I'll open the door for you!" Zhang Youyou rushed towards the elevator carrying a small bag, and Li Donghao smiled helplessly.
After carrying the last two potted plants upstairs, Zhang Youyou finally collapsed on the sofa, exhausted. Li Donghao smiled as he watched her breathing heavily and went to pour her some water.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Should I cook or order takeout?"
Zhang Youyou took a small sip, looked at him with a pitiful expression, and said, "I want to eat the pasta you make!"
I had mentioned wanting to eat pasta before, and now I want to eat it again. Luckily, they bought some.
"Okay, I'll make it for you in a bit. But shouldn't you call home?"
"Why are you making a phone call?" Zhang Youyou sipped her food, her big eyes looking at him innocently.
Lee Dong-ho leaned closer and pressed his cheek against hers, saying, "Of course I'm telling your mom I'm not going home tonight!"
The sudden closeness made her heart race, and the cup in her hand almost flew out of her grasp, but luckily Li Donghao caught it in time.
"Li Donghao!" Zhang Youyou yelled at him angrily. Li Donghao smiled, took the cup, and took a sip of water.
