Chapter 82, Thoughts
In the end, the two of them each had a cup of ice cream and snuggled up on the sofa. To keep her warm, Lee Dong-seok thoughtfully brought her a blanket.
"Did you have a fight with my brother?" Lee Dong-seok tilted his head and asked Zhang Youyou, who was focused on eating ice cream.
Zhang Youyou lowered her eyes, focusing on eating her ice cream without saying a word.
"What, you're ignoring me too?" Lee Dong-seok nudged her with his arm, expecting her to explode, but she just stopped scooping ice cream and even sighed, which was rare for her.
"Lee Dong-seok, do you think I'm particularly annoying?"
"Huh?" Lee Dong-seok was taken aback by her question.
“He used to call me stupid, saying I was always causing trouble. I thought I could get away from him after I went to university, but he became our class’s teaching assistant. Not only am I being supervised in my studies, but as for dating, well, what kind of dating is this? We haven’t even defined our relationship yet.” Looking distressed, Zhang Youyou scooped up a big spoonful of ice cream and stuffed it into her mouth, seemingly trying to calm herself down with the ice cream.
"You really like that person?" Lee Dong-seok had never seen her like this before, and he was a little worried.
Zhang Youyou leaned back on the sofa, thought seriously for a while, and said, "I don't know."
Lee Dong-seok's eyelids twitched.
"What do you mean by 'don't know'? Don't tell me you fell for that person without knowing anything about them!"
Zhang Youyou thought about it seriously for a while and said, "I just think he's a nice person, very gentlemanly. You know, I've never wanted to listen to Grandpa's arrangements. Besides, you and Li Donghao shouldn't sacrifice your happiness for the rest of your lives just because of a promise they made. So if I can meet someone I like, maybe I won't have to continue with that ridiculous arranged marriage."
It turned out she was thinking of them too. However, Li Dongshuo glanced in the direction of the bedroom and then moved closer to Zhang Youyou.
Actually, I don't think you're that bad.
Zhang Youyou looked at him warily. Knowing him as she did, she knew he wouldn't easily say nice things about her.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft!
Lee Dong-seok's eyes darkened. "What do you mean? Isn't it good to praise you?"
Zhang Youyou resumed her original state and continued scooping up ice cream, saying, "Usually when you praise me, it's either to make me take the blame or to harm me."
As if remembering something, she continued, "When we were in elementary school, you broke Grandpa's favorite teacup. Not only did you make me wait at the tea table, but you also ran to Grandpa and complained that I almost got cut by the teacup, which made Grandpa think I was the one who broke it. In middle school, your brother helped with a parent-teacher conference, and someone who liked him asked you to pass on love letters. Afraid of being scolded, you stuffed all those love letters into my bag and asked me to pass them on. In the end, I got a terrible scolding. And in high school, some girls liked you and asked for your WeChat. You immediately showed them my QR code, and the teachers and parents all thought I was dating someone. I was dragged to the office and lectured for three hours... Lee Dong-seok, do you think I can still accept your praise?"
Lee Dong-seok silently curled up into a ball. He thought that Jang Yo-yo had always been the one tricking him, but he didn't expect that he had tricked Jang Yo-yo in the past. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of balance.
While maintaining his mental well-being is important, we still need to persuade him, otherwise he might not only be unable to come here again, but he might not even be able to go home.
"Hey, I was just joking with you, don't mind it, don't mind it!" Li Dongshuo patted her shoulder generously, but Zhang Youyou ignored him and continued scooping ice cream. She had already scooped out more than half of the ice cream, and felt a chill in her heart.
"Dongshuo".
"Um?"
"If, I mean if," Zhang Youyou bit her lip, as if she had made a great decision, and finally spoke, "if neither of us can find someone we like, would you be willing to marry me after graduation?"
"Huh?" With a tremor in his hands, most of the box of ice cream slipped from his grasp, hitting his leg and then falling onto the carpet, spilling a patch of icy coldness.
Zhang Youyou understood from his reaction. She turned her head to continue eating her ice cream, but her hand suddenly went empty as someone appeared beside her.
