Chapter 90, The Secret
In the silence, Zhang Youyou suddenly turned her head, smiled wryly, and said to him, "Want a drink?"
The Li family has strict rules; they don't allow their children to drink alcohol before they reach adulthood. Even after Zhang Youyou became an adult, she was still required not to drink. However, adults have their own judgment, and besides, Zhang Youyou had never drunk alcohol before. She had only ever seen others drink to vent when they were annoyed, frustrated, or tired. She had never done it herself, but today, she wanted to try.
Lee Dong-seok didn't know what she was up to, but judging from her expression just now, she probably wanted to vent her frustrations by drinking. In that case, he would go home. At least she would be safe at home, and he would be safe too.
"Okay, but not here."
Although Zhang Youyou was the host, Li Dongshuo still had to pay for everything. Not only that, he even paid for the alcohol they bought at the supermarket. Li Dongshuo quietly put away the receipt, intending to have his brother pay for it, since he was only going along with Zhang Youyou's crazy behavior because of his brother.
The two bought a dozen cans of beer and a dozen bottles of beer, and even bought peanuts to create a lively atmosphere.
After leaving the supermarket, the two took a taxi home.
Li Dongshuo watched Zhang Youyou skillfully unlock and open the door, and inwardly laughed at their childishness.
"Won't my brother scold me if I drink in the living room?" Li Dongshuo probed.
"No, if he insults you, I'll beat him up for you!"
Well, I'm already drunk before I've even had a drink.
Zhang Youyou sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaning against the sofa. Li Dongshuo moved the coffee table outwards and went to the kitchen to find a bottle opener and a cup. As soon as he came out, he saw that Zhang Youyou had already opened a can and started drinking.
Good heavens, he's a little drunkard.
"This isn't convenient. Here, pour it into a cup!" Li Dongshuo coaxed her.
"No! This feels better!" Zhang Youyou said proudly, her face already flushed.
Fearing he wouldn't be able to maintain the situation, Li Dongshuo sent Li Donghao a WeChat message just in case, saying they were drinking at home and asking him to come back early if it was convenient for him, and then deliver the phone to the dining table before Zhang Youyou threw it away.
"This wine tastes awful," Zhang Youyou complained after drinking more than half a can, and Li Dongshuo agreed.
"Yes, that's why many people don't like alcohol." Li Dongshuo dared not drink too much; he still had to serve Miss Zhang.
“But a good drink can wash away all sorrows, who can say that wine is bad?” Zhang Youyou was already a little drunk, her words were somewhat slurred, and her face was red, but her consciousness was not completely blurred. She leaned close to Li Dongshuo and whispered in his ear, “I’ll tell you a secret, but don’t tell anyone else.” After he hummed in agreement, she continued, “I’ve drunk wine before.”
Li Dongshuo looked at her in surprise, while Zhang Youyou smiled smugly. "You don't know, do you? Back then, your brother had a female classmate he was very close to, and I was so jealous of her. Everyone said they might be dating, and he even brought her home. I was so angry that I ran away and moved back home. I even hid a can of beer when my parents weren't looking, and then I drank like the heartbroken people on TV. I ended up drinking too much and falling asleep, spilling the rest of the beer on the bed. My mom thought I wet the bed. Haha, how could that be? I'm a teenager, how could I wet the bed? I would just cry secretly..."
Lee Dong-seok thought he knew her inside and out, but he didn't expect her to have such a past. But who was that female classmate she was talking about? He didn't remember her at all.
The drunk Zhang Youyou didn't notice Li Dongshuo's change. She took another small sip and continued, "I cried for a long time. Later, I thought that since he doesn't like me, I shouldn't like him either. Anyway, you're not bad. Being with you is much easier than being with him, so I gave up, I gave up..."
The sound grew weaker and weaker, and the mind became increasingly unclear. The only thing he did was habitually raise the hand holding the beer and take a big gulp.
When Lee Dong-seok heard “You’re not bad either,” a row of black lines instantly appeared on his face. But when he saw her, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Although they grew up together, he had never noticed her changes. Perhaps he wasn’t observant enough, or perhaps she had kept it well hidden. But now, he knew about his brother and her secret. What should he do?
"Dongshuo!" Zhang Youyou leaned against him, and Li Dongshuo immediately reached out to protect her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Youyou's speech was already very slurred, and her mind was not clear, but her remaining consciousness still supported her to finish the sentence, "If, if Grandpa insists that I marry one of you, would you, uh, marry me?"
