At seven o 'clock in the evening, after having dinner in the cafeteria, Li Xu declined Teddy's company and left the training base. He strolled alone on the streets.
The streets and alleys around Hongda University were filled with colorful murals filled with trendy elements. Under the brilliant lights of the night, they spoke of the passion and unrestrained spirit of this place.
Cafes decorated with bourgeois decorations, free and open street performances, lively and interactive games, trendy shops by local Korean designers, all kinds of bars, a dazzling array of gourmet shops, and a variety of themed nightclubs made the entire area around Hongda University seem unusually lively.
Lights intertwined on both sides of the street. Amid the bustling crowd, Li Xu inexplicably felt a little lonely.
Milan，Milan，soioconte
Milan，Milan，semoraperte
An excited ringtone sounded, and a number that he hadn't called in a while appeared in front of his eyes.
The call went through, but the other side didn't speak.
Li Xu said, "Chenggong?"
After a long time, a slightly hoarse female voice came through. "Brother Li Xu, where are you?"

Half an hour later, at the corner of Hongda University's commercial street, a café called "Xiaozhu."
The café was spacious and bright, with a bright yellow wooden table for two and a single wooden chair placed opposite each other. The entire space had an arc-shaped layout, and in the middle of it was a slightly raised wooden stage. In the middle of the stage was a white piano. An elegant young man sat there, his fingertips dancing, and gentle notes drifted in the café.
Customers sat in groups of twos and threes, talking in low voices. Accompanied by soothing music, it was warm and relaxing.
Li Xu looked at the girl sitting opposite him. Her eyes were red, and her beautiful face revealed an unconcealable haggardness.
The two of them sat in the corner of the café, and there were only two other customers at the table next to them.
In Korean universities, especially those in Seoul, student dormitories were extremely limited. Almost only master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral students could apply for on-campus dormitories, so most students could only rent their own dormitories outside.
Li Xu vaguely remembered that two years ago, when they first met in his rented apartment. This optimistic and cheerful girl knocked on his door, respectfully bowed and called him "senior." She also gave him a specialty of her hometown, "croaker."
Li Xu, who grew up in a big city in China, had a vague idea of what a "neighbor" was. In Seoul, most Koreans didn't have much of a concept of neighborhood.
Choi Chenggong's, a girl from the poorest part of Gangwon Province in the northeast of Korea, retained the most simple concept of a neighborhood. She personally sent her blessings every holiday, and every time she went home, she would bring some local specialties for Li Xu.......... and she would even cook some local delicacies's a's food for Li from time to time....
Li Xu was not a thick-skinned person. Of course, this was what he thought. He would often return the favor by giving Choi Chenggong some Sichuan specialties. Of course, ever since she received a bag of insanely spicy hot pot base from Li Xu, Choi Chenggong became more cautious with her gifts to Li Xu.
It was because of this girl's appearance that the few people who had been neighbors for two years became familiar with each other even though they hadn't interacted with each other before.
Li Xu was not bad in his studies, but he was definitely not bad. But he was not the best either. Choi Chenggong was the top student among the top students, the kind who took all the scholarships she could get. She was one year younger than Li Xu, and would be graduating next year. She was studying at Ewha Womans University's music department.
That's right, she was in the same school as Li Ge's dream girl, Zhao Enjing, and in the same department.
Li Xu looked at the girl in front of him with some pity. In the past, she always had an infectious smile on her face.
"So, you've been dumped?"
Li Xu explained to Kim Minna. Sometimes, he did not use his brain before speaking.
"Cough, cough!"
At the neighboring table, Kim Jin-hee who had unintentionally overheard the conversation was shocked by Li Xu's words. There was actually such a man who did not know how to speak!
"Sister Jin-hee, are you alright?" The girl opposite her looked at Kim Jin-hee puzzledly.
Kim Jin-hee shook her head. She had unintentionally overheard the words of the delicate girl beside her, and it was as if she had seen herself in the past.
Li Xu raised his head and looked at Kim Jin-hee at the neighboring table. She was a pretty girl, but! Didn't she know that eavesdropping was immoral?
The reason for Choi Chenggong's current state was very melodramatic. She had fallen out of love.
As for her previous lover, Li Xu had seen him twice. He did not have much of an impression of him. He only remembered that he was a fair and clean boy. His specific appearance had long been blurred.
Choi Chenggong was unwilling to say the reason why she had fallen out of love. From what Choi Chenggong said, it seemed that the boy had fallen in love with someone else?
Sure enough, scumbags were the most popular among women. Li Xu was also very helpless.
Choi Chenggong was a little choked up. "I don't understand. Why did things come to this point?"
Li Xu could only comfort her. "The crux of the problem is not you. This man is so easily swayed. He does not really love you. A lover who can be snatched away is not a lover."
Although Li Xu did not know the reason, after two years of living with Choi Chenggong, he understood Choi Chenggong very well.
This kind girl was always considerate of others. She would never get angry with others. Everyone in the neighborhood liked this optimistic girl from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Xu did not have a sister. He had also fantasized about how good it would be to have a biological sister like Choi Chenggong, so he could not help but put himself in the role of an elder brother.
It must be because of that scumbag!
Choi Chenggong obviously did not listen. "Ever since we started dating, I feel like I am not myself. I always think about everything for the other party. I think about what he likes and what he doesn't like. But now, everything seems to be superfluous."
Seeing that Choi Chenggong was about to cry, Li Xu panicked. "Hey! Don't cry! There are other people here. If you cry, I can't explain it clearly. "
Choi Chenggong had a look that said, "You don't understand my sadness" and sobbed softly.
Li Xu suddenly raised his voice. "Hey! Girl! What's wrong with being single? It's neat and tidy to be alone. Look at me. Ever since I've been single, I've become more energetic. I've saved on phone bills and my heart doesn't hurt anymore! "
"Pfft!" Kim Jin-hee, who pricked up her ears, could not help but chuckle. The girl opposite her lowered her head and stared at the coffee in the cup.
Choi Chenggong was startled by Li Xu's suddenly raised voice. Her face turned red. She wiped the corners of her eyes and whispered, "Brother Li Xu, you don't have to be so loud. I can hear you!"
Li Xu took out two pieces of tissue and handed them to her. "Remember, no one is worth your tears. The one who is worth it won't make you cry."
Choi Chenggong carefully took the tissue. "Thank you, Brother Li Xu. But I remember that you have always been single."
Li Xu was speechless. Girl, I'm comforting you. You don't have to stab me with a knife!
Kim Jin-hee, who was at the next table, lowered her head and slowly stirred the spoon in her hand. She looked like she was listening to a story. Her shoulders trembled slightly. This person talked for a long time, but it turned out that he was only an armchair strategist.
