Chapter 37, My Younger Sister
As the two were about to leave the phone store, they encountered two girls coming in. One of them, with long, loose hair, was holding a pink phone case and had a matching pink bag hanging from her arm. Upon seeing them, she immediately came over, stood in front of Li Donghao, and greeted him. The other girl, with her hair in a bun, followed them.
"Anqi, what are you doing here... Hey, senior, what are you doing here?" The girl with her hair in a bun had her eyes light up when she saw Li Donghao, while the girl next to her with long, straight black hair hadn't taken her eyes off Li Donghao since she came in front of them.
Zhang Youyou glanced at Li Donghao beside her, then suddenly pulled his arm and intertwined their fingers. She asked in a high-pitched voice, trying to sound gentle, "Donghao-gege, who are they?"
He was initially pleased when she hugged his arm and held his hand, but when he suddenly heard her speak like that, Li Donghao was so startled that he got goosebumps all over. However, based on his understanding of her, Li Donghao quickly recovered, naturally pressing his palm against hers, his eyes filled with affection, and gently pinching her chin, saying, "They are my lab classmates, and also your seniors. This is Anqi," Li Donghao said, pointing to the girl with long, straight black hair, then turning his hand to the girl with a bun, saying, "This is Xizhu!"
Zhang Youyou smiled even sweeter and politely said, "Hello, Senior Anqi! Hello, Senior Xizhu!"
Anqi saw their fingers intertwined, their nails digging so tightly into their palms that they were almost drawing blood. Xizhu, however, saw a smile on Zhang Youyou's face and asked with a gossipy look, "Are you just ordinary brother and sister?"
Her question was ambiguous, and before Li Donghao could speak, Zhang Youyou explained, "Of course, Donghao and I have known each other since we were little, we're childhood sweethearts!"
Seeing Anqi's burning hatred, Zhang Youyou felt extremely smug.
"Are you two senior sisters here to buy a phone? You can take a look at this brand. Donghao and I just bought the same model!" Zhang Youyou seemed to be venting all the grievances she had suffered over the past two days. She became more and more proud as she spoke, and Li Donghao did not stop her.
Having known each other for a long time, he knew Anqi's feelings. Although she had rejected him several times, both openly and secretly, she never gave up. Now that Zhang Youyou had said these words, he hoped to make her back down and also to spread rumors about himself and Zhang Youyou, so that neither of them could date anyone else at school. Incidentally, it would be even better if they could make it happen. Unfortunately, Zhang Youyou didn't mean that. She simply disliked Anqi.
Just as Anqi was about to speak, Zhang Youyou looked up at Li Donghao and said, "Donghao-gege, the phone case I bought will arrive in a couple of days. Remember to sign for it for me!"
Anqi was grinding her teeth to powder. What exactly was their relationship? Why was her package sent to Li Donghao's house? And why did she need him to sign for it?
Xi Zhu stood there with her hands clasped together, her eyes full of longing. She had already imagined a 100,000-word tale of a domineering CEO falling in love with her.
“You have other deliveries to make, so stay at my place for the next few days!” Li Donghao said calmly. Anqi felt like she had been struck by lightning, and Xizhu’s mouth was practically agape. How could she possibly listen to this?
Zhang Youyou glanced at the expressions of the two people opposite him and pretended to be hesitant, saying, "Okay! But I want to eat your sweet and sour fish!"
“Okay, let’s go buy it in a bit!” Li Donghao was very cooperative. Before Anqi could even feel dizzy, she heard Li Donghao say to them, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now!” As he spoke, he loosened his grip on Zhang Youyou’s hand, picked up the things with one hand and put his other hand on her shoulder, leading her away. Anqi turned around to call out to him but was stopped by Xizhu.
"Haven't you realized yet? Senior likes this girl!" Although she was enjoying the romance just now, Xizhu still advised Anqi to let it go when she returned to reality.
Anqi stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, covered her face, and left through another door after walking around the counter. Xizhu had no choice but to chase after her.
