Chapter 171, Happy New Year
Zhang Youyou slept until noon; if she hadn't been hungry, she probably would still be sleeping.
She had planned to go downstairs to find something to eat, but she overheard people chatting downstairs. She asked a passing maid and learned that someone had come to pay New Year's visits. So, she wisely hid in her bedroom, but asked the maid to bring her some food.
Every year during the Spring Festival, many people would come to wish Grandpa Li a Happy New Year. When she was little, she would always listen to Grandpa and the uncles and aunts who came to greet him. As she grew up, she didn't like these flattering and polite gestures, so she and Li Dongshuo would mostly stay in the bedroom.
I'm using the same old trick again today, but I'm getting a little bored being here alone.
She sat in a chair, looking for shows on her phone, but complained that the screen was too small. She wished she had a projector, but unfortunately, she didn't have one in her room.
She sat listlessly at the table, scrolling through mindless idol dramas, her stomach starting to rumble. She wondered if the maid even knew what she liked to eat.
Zhang Youyou was almost asleep when the knocking came. She immediately jumped up to open the door and saw Li Donghao standing there with a tray, his smile warm. Zhang Youyou felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Why don't you come downstairs?" Li Donghao asked curiously, sitting to the side watching her eat with her head down.
"Too many people," Zhang Youyou replied vaguely.
"You don't want to meet them?"
"I don't know them, why should I meet with them?"
As expected of Zhang Youyou, Li Donghao nodded with a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" After taking a big gulp of milk, with milk stains still on her lips, Li Donghao reached out to wipe them off for her.
"It's nothing, I just think you're cute!"
Zhang Youyou snorted dismissively.
Feeling full and bored, Zhang Youyou dragged him to play chess.
Actually, Zhang Youyou is terrible at chess, but she really has nothing else to do, so she can only play chess. Li Donghao also wants to spend more time with her, so he patiently plays with her.
"No, no, I don't want to go down here!"
"Oops, I made a mistake again!"
"No, you can't do that!"
Throughout the game, Li Donghao didn't make many moves; it was all arranged by Zhang Youyou. Fortunately, Li Donghao didn't mind and instead paid close attention to her expression and state.
After talking with Lee Dong-seok yesterday, Lee Dong-ho realized that he still didn't know enough about her. There's nothing he can do about it, since he's older than her and they're a bit afraid of him. Fortunately, she's accepted him now, which is a good thing.
"I'm going back to school on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. When are you going back?"
Zhang Youyou, who was studying the chess pieces, suddenly looked up when she heard this.
"So early?"
"It's already pretty good to have such a long vacation. You still haven't answered me when you're going back?"
My chess skills were already poor, and now I'm even less in the mood.
"I don't know." I've received excellent care both in terms of daily life and emotional support during the past few days I've stayed with him. Now that he's leaving, what am I going to do?
Seeing that she was in low spirits, Li Donghao put down the chess piece in his hand, lowered his head and asked her, "Why don't you come with me?"
Zhang Youyou slowly raised her head and looked at him curiously.
"Anyway, they have everything there, so I shouldn't be too busy lately."
"Not too busy" means I'll have time to spend with you. Zhang Youyou hesitated somewhat at this temptation.
Not wanting to give her any more time to hesitate, Lee Dong-ho made a decision directly.
"Come with me! I'll take good care of you!" Li Donghao said, holding her hand.
Zhang Youyou stared into his eyes for a long time before finally nodding, and Li Donghao happily hugged her.
It might not be that difficult to get her to open up and accept him, but that's okay, he has plenty of patience.
Zhang Youyou told her mother about returning to F City on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Her mother understood, since she was about to start school. The only thing she was reluctant to leave behind was Grandpa Li, since she hadn't spent many days with her since she came back. However, when she heard that she was going to stay with Li Donghao, she accepted it. It was a good thing to give the young people more time to spend together. After that, Grandpa Li talked to Li Donghao a lot.
She didn't bring much back this time, and it was easy to go back. Her only worry was the flowers at Li Donghao's house. Zhang Youyou instructed the maids to take care of them on time and to record videos and take photos for her. The maids felt a great responsibility.
