Chapter 37

As the cherry blossom petals danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Li Yuhao stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him. Pan Yi waved her hand in front of him, bringing Li Yuhao back to reality. "What were you thinking about? Why did you get so lost in thought?"

Li Yuhao subconsciously replied, "I was thinking about you..." Before he could finish his sentence, the members of Girls' Generation interrupted him. Li Yuhao's words made Pan Yi's face turn red in less than two seconds. Xu Xian, sitting nearby, also blushed at Li Yuhao's straightforward words...

The other members all exclaimed, "Ah~~~ Seriously... Why did you suddenly confess?"

Li Yuhao was about to explain, "I..." but was interrupted again, "Eh~~~ That's really too much. Everyone is here, can't you two talk privately? Why do you have to say it in front of everyone... It's so embarrassing, I'm getting goosebumps."

"I..."

"Ah... I can't stand it. To say such things in front of so many people. Tsk tsk tsk... Impressive."

Li Yuhao saw Pan Yi, who was completely embarrassed and couldn't even lift her head, so he raised his voice and said loudly, "I... Can you all listen to me? It's not what you think..."

"Eh~~~ Why explain so much? We all understand. Over the past two months, Pan Yi and you have been in close contact... I've been suspicious about you two."

Li Yuhao, hearing this, patted his chest in frustration, "Ah... I'm so frustrated, I'm so angry. I'm really frustrated... Can you let me finish my sentence?"

"Okay, go ahead. Don't worry. If you two are dating, I'll keep it a secret. We can even cover for you two..."

Li Yuhao, hearing the women's teasing, was completely frustrated. "What are you talking about? Pan Yi and I really have nothing. Actually, what I was thinking about was... writing songs for you. Besides, Pan Yi is sitting right next to me, do I need to imagine her in my head? Really..."

Sunny's eyes lit up at Li Yuhao's words, "Songs for us? Do you mean you've agreed to write songs for us?"

"I don't have time recently. I still need to prepare for my own stage. Once the album is released, I'll enter the promotion period, and I'll be very busy. You know what it's like when you release an album."

The members of Girls' Generation nodded in agreement. They understood what the promotion period meant—each day had at least three schedules, and there was hardly any time to sleep. Every day started with a schedule, and they usually returned to the dormitory around 2 or 3 in the morning. Sometimes, after just a few hours of sleep, they had to get up again for the next schedule.

Yuri then asked, "When do you plan to write songs for us?"

"Let's wait until I have some free time. Don't rush. Besides, I need to have your company and my company talk. Do you think I'll write songs for free? CCM offered 35 million won for a song from 'D**ICHI.'"

YoonA was also surprised by Li Yuhao's words, "3... 35 million won?" She meant that Li Yuhao was still a newcomer, yet CCM had offered 35 million won for one of his songs. She knew that once Li Yuhao's album was released (since all the songs were written by him), his songwriting skills would be recognized in the music industry, and the price of his songs would naturally rise.

"Um... That was the price CCM offered two months ago. I think after my album is released... the price might go up... hehe." Li Yuhao smiled and nodded at YoonA.

The members of Girls' Generation thought Li Yuhao was showing off, and they all pouted. Taeyeon also pouted and said, "You guys chat, I'll go cook. Let's have Korean barbecue tonight. Xi Li Yuhao brought a lot of Korean beef and pork belly."

Sunny also smiled at Li Yuhao, "Korean beef? Xi Li Yuhao, you're quite generous, hahaha..." Suhyun also smiled and agreed, "Yeah, we haven't had beef in a long time. Thank you so much..."

"Um." Li Yuhao didn't know how to respond, so he just scratched his head and smiled.

Sunny also smiled and stared at Li Yuhao, "Xi Li Yuhao, what do you think of our Pan Yi?" After saying this, Sunny raised her eyebrows at Li Yuhao, and everyone understood her meaning.

Li Yuhao pretended to be clueless, "Pan Yi? She's great."

Seeing Li Yuhao act like he didn't understand, Sunny tilted her head and smiled at him, "Eh~~~ You know what I mean, why are you being so shy? Let me ask you this, would you be willing to date our Pan Yi?"

Sunny's words made Pan Yi extremely embarrassed. She immediately pounced on Sunny, "Ah~~~ Li Sun-gye~~~ Don't talk nonsense here, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Li Yuhao, also embarrassed, asked Xu Xian, "Xi Xu Xian, do you all have Taeyeon cook in the dormitory?" Xu Xian looked at Li Yuhao seriously and shook her head, "No, we use a rice cooker to cook..."

When Xu Xian said this, Pan Yi and Sunny stopped their playful fight, and everyone looked at Xu Xian in surprise. Li Yuhao also nodded seriously, "I see, so the rice cooker cooks for you. By the way, Xi Xu Xian, do you have any good books to recommend? I want to find some meaningful books to read recently."

Li Yuhao deliberately brought up books to chat with the studious Xu Xian, as only the topic of books could interest her. "I don't know what kind of books you like, but if you want recommendations, for example..." Xu Xian listed a bunch of famous book titles.

"I'll remember them. When we have time, let's go to the bookstore together. I also have a book to recommend to you, 'Silent Spring' by Rachel Carson. It mainly talks about how chemicals have changed humans, and how humans will be affected by chemicals..."

"Think about pesticides, the most common chemical product. Pesticides are used to kill insects, but when the insects mutate and the pesticides can't kill them, the pesticides are improved to kill the insects... but in the end, the vegetables end up in our mouths." Li Yuhao and Xu Xian started discussing the dangers of food, and Xu Xian listened with great interest.

Kim Hyo-yeon immediately stopped Li Yuhao, "Xi Li Yuhao, don't harm us. In Xu Xian's eyes, eating a hamburger can be fatal. If you let her read about the dangers of chemicals... won't we end up eating sweet potatoes every day?"

"Unnie, hamburgers are really..." Xu Xian started her hamburger theory again, and everyone's heads started to hurt. Li Yuhao couldn't stand it either; Xu Xian's 'hamburger theory' was like Tang僧 reciting the Tightening Spell...

The members of Girls' Generation, facing the serious Xu Xian, had no choice but to give in, "We understand, we understand, we won't eat hamburgers anymore."

Li Yuhao successfully diverted the topic of 'matchmaking' with Xu Xian. Seeing that he had successfully shifted the topic, he cautiously smiled. However, everything was noticed by the observant Yuri, "Li Yuhao is really smart, using Xu Xian to divert everyone's attention. He not only resolved the awkwardness between him and Pan Yi but also went unnoticed. But I've been watching him... Hmph. You want to hide? I won't let you."

Yuri then spoke, "Xi Li Yuhao, you've always said you're a fan of Girls' Generation, right?"

"Right, I'm a super fan of all of you." Li Yuhao thought to himself, 'I've watched all your variety shows countless times.'

Yuri smiled, "Then... there are nine of us in Girls' Generation. Who is your favorite?"

"Um... I'm a fan of the entire group. I like all of you very much. No matter who it is, as long as it's Girls' Generation, I support them." Li Yuhao certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to 'name' his favorite, as that would offend others.

Seeing that Li Yuhao wasn't falling for it, Yuri quickly added, "Okay, then who among the nine is your ideal type?"

Li Yuhao's head started to hurt, "You are all my ideal type. Taeyeon's kindness, Xi Jessica's beauty, Xi Sunny's cuteness, Pan Yi's cuteness, Xi Hyo-yeon's sincerity, Xi Yuri's health, Xi Suhyun's kindness, Xi YoonA's agility, and Xu Xian's purity. Sigh~~~ If I really have to choose one, I can't. Because you are all my ideal type."

Hearing Li Yuhao's response, Pan Yi laughed, "You're really good with words, not offending anyone. No wonder you're a top student from Seoul National University, hehe..."

"I'm speaking from the heart. Each of you has your own unique charm. Honestly, I can't just pick one from among you... so you are all my ideal type!!!"
