Li Yuhao deliberately pretended to be surprised as he looked at Li Julei, "I know your profile says you're from Goyang. I thought it was just a joke for your fans. I figured you idols would live in Seoul, right? I didn't expect you to live in Goyang. Haha... Actually, I live in Goyang too."
"Really? You live in Goyang? You're not just saying that to drop me off, right?" In their eyes, the wealthy usually lived in places like Cheongdam-dong. But this rich young man in a luxury car said he lived in Goyang, which seemed a bit like a lie. Li Yuhao smiled, shook his head, and pressed the intercom button, then put down the receiver and said, "Uncle, what's our address? I can't quite remember the number."
"Goyang City XXXXX..."
Li Julei then smiled awkwardly, realizing she had overthought it. He really did live in Goyang, and the address he mentioned, XX-dong, was only a five-minute drive from her home in XX-dong.
The uncle in the front seat dropped them off at their apartment complexes one by one according to the addresses they gave. Finally, only Julei and Su Yan were left in the car. As the number of Tara members decreased, the atmosphere in the car gradually became as cold as the winter night. Su Yan didn't speak, and Li Julei didn't either. Since only the two of them were in the car, it would have been a bit much to just talk to each other and leave Li Yuhao out, considering he had kindly offered to drive them home.
So, Li Julei and Su Yan both remained silent, just looking out the window at the bustling street scenes. It was past eight in the evening, and Seoul was lively for the New Year. Wherever Li Yuhao's limousine went, it attracted a lot of attention.
Sitting by the car door, Li Yuhao also looked out at the ordinary couples huddled together for warmth in the cold. Perhaps they felt that huddling together made them warmer and more affectionate. "I really envy them, walking freely on the streets like that..." After saying this, Li Yuhao pressed the intercom button. "Uncle, find a café and buy us some hot coffee. Oh, and call home to prepare some dinner for me; I haven't eaten enough."
"Sure, young master."
The car soon stopped outside a Starbucks. The uncle got out to buy coffee for Li Yuhao and the two girls. As the car stopped by the roadside, Li Yuhao rolled down the window and said softly, "It's snowing, the first snow of the year. I'll get out and have a cigarette. You don't like the smell of smoke, right? Haha... Singers need to protect their voices. With my broken voice, I can't be a singer, or I would definitely be very popular. Hehe..."
Li Yuhao rolled up the window and got out of the car, leaning against the door and lighting a cigarette. He didn't care about the looks he was getting from outside. A luxury car and a handsome young man were a deadly combination for women. The more developed the city, the more practical women were. Romantic love that could survive on just water was for novels and TV shows. In reality, to pursue a woman or be pursued in a developed city, a man needed to meet three primary conditions: a car, a house, and money. Only with these three conditions could you have a girlfriend.
So, when Li Yuhao appeared by the luxury car, he immediately caught the attention of passersby. His handsome appearance, stylish clothing, and the luxury car made it clear he was from a wealthy family.
Seeing Li Yuhao smoking outside, Su Yan whispered to Li Julei, "He's so showy. He's definitely a playboy."
"Whether he's a playboy or not, it doesn't matter to us. People like him and our world are different. Let's not say much. It's better to go home and get a good night's sleep. Since he's willing to help us, we don't have to deal with those disgusting people at the TV station. At least he's been very polite and hasn't taken any advantage of us."
"Onee, why don't you get out with me? I'll have Wu Zhonghe send us back. It's not safe with him. And you're so beautiful; didn't you see the way he looked at you? It's like he's about to fall into your beauty."
"Let's not. It's not right. Since I said I live in Goyang and he does too, I'll let him drop me off. Besides, I think he's a decent person. Don't worry, he's not that kind of person."
"Okay, then, if there's any problem, call me."
"Got it..."
After Li Julei finished speaking, Li Yuhao opened the car door and handed them the coffee. "Here, take it. The one in the separate package is mine; you can't drink it. I don't like sugar." The coffee was packed in a square carrier, with two rows of two, and one was in a separate package.
"Okay." Li Julei, sitting by the door, took the coffee. However, when she took it, one of the slots in the carrier was empty. After she took the coffee, the arrangement in the carrier became a triangle, with one coffee touching two others, and the other two being separate. This made her hesitate. She gave the safe slot to Su Yan and took the risk herself.
She picked up a coffee and held it in her hand. At this moment, Li Yuhao threw away his cigarette butt and got back into the car. He picked up the remaining coffee. "It's so cold outside. I couldn't even finish one cigarette. If I had let you take a taxi, you would have turned into popsicles. Well, who knows, women are more resistant to the cold, especially celebrities. I saw you walking the red carpet at the end of the year in such cold weather, wearing so little. You were freezing but still had to force a smile and greet everyone."
"Ha ha ha..." Su Yan and Julei, who had low laugh points, were amused by Li Yuhao's light teasing.
"What are you laughing at? Haven't you felt the same? I've seen your red carpet photos. And it was raining. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me cold. Especially when you get out of a warm car, the outside feels even colder."
Su Yan shook her head in frustration. "We can't help it. Everyone dresses up beautifully. Should we have worn down jackets? The red carpet only lasts a few minutes; we just have to grit our teeth and get through it."
Li Yuhao immediately gave a thumbs up. "Impressive. That's why women are more resistant to the cold. Drink your coffee. It's warm, and it will make you feel better in this snowy weather." As he said this, Li Yuhao looked out the window. The snowflakes falling from the sky seemed to appear and disappear as the car moved, and a sudden sense of melancholy came over him. "Yes, the world can be cold, but nothing is colder than the human heart. Perhaps there are one or two people who can truly warm our hearts."
The moment of sentiment was broken by Li Julei's exclamation, "So bitter~~" She covered her mouth, her eyes and eyebrows wrinkled. She had lost the bet and taken Li Yuhao's bitter coffee. She hadn't even thought to check the lid before drinking. Her coffee with sugar and milk would have a different color, but who would open the lid of a takeaway coffee?
Li Yuhao laughed. "Ha ha ha... Looks like you got mine. Here, I haven't drunk this one yet. Let's switch. Drink something sweet to balance it out." Li Yuhao and Li Julei exchanged their coffees and then removed the lids. "Let's switch the lids too, so you don't think I have ulterior motives. I'm not a germaphobe, by the way."
With Su Yan's help, Li Yuhao and Li Julei switched the coffee lids. Li Yuhao then took a sip of the unsweetened, black coffee. As he drank, Li Julei watched him, thinking, 'How can he drink something so bitter?'
After taking a sip, Li Yuhao frowned, thinking, "Damn, this coffee is even more bitter than I imagined. What a failure to show off! Well... Bitter medicine is good for you. I'll endure it!!"
Ten minutes later, Li Yuhao's car arrived at the apartment complex Su Yan had mentioned. He stopped the car. "Su Yan, do you really not need me to drop you off inside?"
"No, really, it's not necessary. It's just a two or three-minute walk. I'll jog over. Li Yuhao, thank you for driving me home."
"You're welcome. It's an honor to drive you Tara members home. If I posted on a website, 'I rode in a car with Tara,' I bet many people would be envious. Ha ha ha... Tara, Fighting!! I hope you return soon. I won't drop you off inside."
"Okay, thank you today. Next time, we'll all treat you to a meal."
"Sure, I'll remember that. Don't trick me; my heart is made of glass."
"Ha ha ha, I won't. Our lady is in your hands. Please take her home safely." As she said this, Su Yan gave Li Julei a look, a signal to 'call me if there's a problem.'
"Don't worry, I'll make sure she gets home safely, not a hair on her head will be harmed."
"Thank you. I'll go now. Thank you."
Su Yan opened the car door and got out, standing near the door to watch Li Yuhao's car leave. But as soon as she got out, the cold wind hit her, and her simple dress and thin jacket were no match for the cold. She rubbed her arms...
