Chapter 79, Persuasion
The hot pot restaurant was bustling and warm in late autumn. The boiling soup pot emitted white steam. Li Donghao picked up some green vegetables and put them on a plate. Zhang Youyou dipped the cooled meat slices into the dipping sauce bowl in front of her before putting them in her mouth. Li Dongshuo, who was originally sitting opposite Li Donghao, had moved to the opposite side of Zhang Youyou without anyone noticing. His curious expression could not be hidden even by the steam.
"Zhang Youyou!" Li Dongshuo called out to her, then kicked her under the table again. Zhang Youyou frowned and looked at him.
"what?"
"Why don't you go to my brother's tonight? We can have a heart-to-heart talk. We haven't seen each other in so long, don't you miss me?"
"I'm wondering if you could transfer to F University?"
Lee Dong-seok chuckled awkwardly, "Youyou, we can't force someone to do something they don't want to do!"
"You call yourself a human?" Zhang Youyou raised an eyebrow, Li Donghao couldn't help but chuckle, and Li Dongshuo was helpless.
"Zhang Youyou, you've changed. You never used to treat me like this!" Li Dongshuo pretended to be coquettish, pouting and tilting his head, making Zhang Youyou almost vomit.
"Fine, I'll stay at the hotel with you." Zhang Youyou couldn't stand him like this, but she didn't want to live under the same roof as Li Donghao. Since he had booked a hotel for Li Dongshuo, she might as well go to the hotel.
When Li Donghao heard her say that, his eyelids twitched, and he changed his words, saying, "That hotel has single rooms with single beds, not enough room for the two of you."
Zhang Youyou said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we can just squeeze in."
"That won't do!" Lee Dong-seok understood Lee Dong-ho's thoughts and naturally wouldn't accept it, so he deliberately acted like a rogue, "I won't stay in a hotel, hotels aren't safe, I'm afraid of being filmed!"
Seeing Lee Dong-ho's furrowed brows, Lee Dong-seok changed his mind, "Let's go stay at his place. I've never been to his place before. Besides, staying at home is much more convenient than staying in a hotel, don't you think?"
Zhang Youyou looked at Li Donghao, and Li Donghao looked at her too. Zhang Youyou turned her head and asked, "So where do you live? In the living room? In the study? Are you sleeping on the balcony?"
“I can sleep in the entryway too!” Li Dongshuo complained, making Zhang Youyou laugh.
"It's not impossible!"
In the end, Zhang Youyou agreed to stay at Li Donghao's house. Li Donghao gave Li Dongshuo a meaningful look and silently served Zhang Youyou some food. Zhang Youyou didn't say a word to him, but simply placed her empty glass in front of him. Li Donghao got up to get some juice.
After Lee Dong-ho left, Lee Dong-seok finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a thumbs up.
"Zhang Youyou, you're really amazing! You've actually tamed my brother like a little follower!"
"He's the one who made me angry! Humph, what a jerk!"
Lee Dong-seok's eyes lit up. "Scumbag? My brother? Oh my god, did I miss something?"
Zhang Youyou looked up and kicked his shin hard under the table. Li Donghao gasped, "Zhang Youyou, are you even a woman?"
"If you say another word, I'll put the blame on you!" He might still have some consideration for Lee Dong-ho, but he had absolutely no consideration for Lee Dong-seok.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, you're the boss!"
A moment later, Li Donghao arrived and brought her a glass of grape juice. Zhang Youyou took it and placed it on her right, saying, "I want to eat fish tofu!"
Li Donghao served her fish tofu, and Zhang Youyou asked for vegetables, so Li Donghao patiently served her, even though he himself didn't eat much.
Lee Dong-seok couldn't bear to see his brother so humble, so he spoke up, "Zhang Youyou, didn't you say that eating too much at night would make you fat? You've eaten quite a lot, haven't you?"
"So what if I'm fat? Does that mean you won't marry me?"
One sentence startled Lee Dong-seok so much that he almost fell to the ground, and Lee Dong-ho, who had just picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks, immediately lost his appetite.
"No, no, please speak properly, I can't accept this!" Li Dongshuo pleaded repeatedly.
Zhang Youyou was very dissatisfied with this. "What, you don't like me? Or do you have someone you like?"
Lee Dong-seok shook his head vigorously, "Zhang Youyou, you should eat your vegetables!"
Zhang Youyou glanced at him suspiciously, then continued eating her meat.
Lee Dong-seok glanced at Lee Dong-ho sheepishly, then sat down and ate in silence.
