It had to be said that Koreans placed a lot of emphasis on family. They were used to seeing society as a big family, so men and women would address each other as if they were relatives.
The first thing Koreans asked when they met was their age. Many Westerners who did not understand Korean culture would think that Koreans liked to ask about other people's privacy, but in fact, they asked for age so that they could choose how to address you.
Li Xu was not used to the strict etiquette of Koreans. Of course, when Choi Sungkyu called him Oppa, he felt quite good.
"Eunjung is a very easy person to get along with. We have a lot in common."
Li Xu suddenly understood. Zhao Eunjung had been a host before, so she was naturally very good at interacting with people. No wonder Lin Yuqing felt like old friends at first sight.
After eating two big pieces of barbecued meat, Li Xu picked up a kimchi and put it into his mouth.
Kimchi was a must at the Korean table. It was very important in the hearts of Koreans.
During the Vietnam War, the United States funded the production of kimchi, which greatly improved the morale of the Korean soldiers.
During the war, the Korean Prime Minister Chung Yikwon told the United States President Lyndon Johnson that when he was traveling, he craved kimchi more than he wanted his wife to return to Korea. This showed how much Koreans loved kimchi.
Korean kimchi tasted very good. It was a different flavor from Sichuan kimchi. However, to Li Xu, who was used to eating Sichuan kimchi, this scary chili sauce was not as good as throwing two kimchi peppers.
Li Xu suddenly remembered the news he saw on social media. "Did you see the picture that Kang Soo Hee posted? Big Dumb fought with another dog, and his front leg was fractured. He's wrapped in layers and layers of bandages. I bet this cheap dog will either be bitten to death by another dog or be stewed by someone. "
Lin Yuqing was speechless. "You're still angry with a dog? Why are you cursing it? "
Li Xu: "Haha! Why would I be angry with a dog? Tsk tsk! When it arrogantly peed on my shoes, I knew that this day would come. This dog bullies the weak and fears the strong. One day, it will meet a tough opponent. I heard that it was beaten up by a Bull Terrier. It must have bullied its small size. In the end, it was chased all over the place. "
In Lin Yuqing's opinion, Li Xu was sometimes like a child. He could hold a grudge against a dog for years.
Seeing that Li Xu was still gloating and mocking 'big idiot', Lin Yuqing hurriedly interrupted, "Alright, alright. Are you used to life in the club?"
"Life is so-so, but fortunately, I can often go to your place to eat."
Li Xu began to blow his own trumpet. "Did you see it today? Look at how popular I am. Everyone is cheering for me. Look at how many signs with my name on them. You can see how popular I am now. "
Lin Yuqing rolled her eyes at Li Xu. "I saw it. There's also a name on the board. It's Kim Minna."
Li Xu choked. "That was just an accident."
"Miss Kim Minna is very beautiful."
Li Xu did not answer and changed the topic. "Huh? Where's the support board I made? Did you lose it? I spent most of my time drawing it. But it's fine if it's lost. I can draw it again at any time. "
"Let me tell you. Yesterday, I met a celebrity at the cafe next door. Hmm ~ What's her name again? Forget it, I can't remember. If only I met Sun Yizhen. "
At the dinner table, Li Xu began to chatter again. Lin Yuqing did not interrupt him and listened quietly.
Time passed in Li Xu's endless chatter. It was almost 10 pm when they finished the dinner.
The two of them left after dinner. Even though it was already very late, the entire commercial street was still brightly lit. There were pedestrians everywhere. Li Xu and Lin Yuqing walked slowly among the bustling crowd.
Last night, it was the same street. It was the same bustling crowd. He walked aimlessly and looked! There seemed to be a kind of expectation in his heart. It was like he always wanted to see something ordinary and touching.
But in the end, until Cui Chengqi's call, he felt an indescribable loneliness. Perhaps everyone was lonely.
Li Xu turned to look at Lin Yuqing. The light shone from the other side. Li Xu could only see the delicate outline of her face. But he felt inexplicably at ease.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing was puzzled.
"Do you want to go in and sit for a while?" Li Xu saw the cafe called "Xiao Zhu" that he came to yesterday.
"Forget it. It's too late today. Remember to wake up early tomorrow. It will take half a day to get to Busan Road."
"Okay." Li Xu was a little disappointed. But anyway, it was unlikely to meet Sun Yizhen now.
Lin Yuqing stopped a taxi and opened the door. "Then you go first. Your dormitory is not far from here. I will go back by myself."
Li Xu insisted. "No, it's so late. I will be worried if you go back alone. Didn't you see the domestic news? There are many cases of women being killed by online taxi drivers. Maybe this driver is a pervert. "
Lin Yuqing was helpless. Li Xu followed and sat beside Lin Yuqing.
"Where are you going?" The driver asked in Chinese. It was not very clear, but there was no doubt that it was Chinese.
"Ah, I'm sorry. My friend didn't mean to." Lin Yuqing quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you can understand Chinese." Li Xu also apologized.
The driver in front was speechless. F * ck, even if I don't understand Chinese, you are too much to say that in front of me! Do I look like a pervert?
There were not many Koreans who could understand Chinese. Maybe it was because of his profession, but this taxi driver should have learned some Chinese and could communicate with Chinese tourists.
It was relatively easy for Koreans to learn Chinese. Although some Koreans could not read, they could recognize the commonly used traditional Chinese characters.
Before the Korean script was invented, Koreans used Chinese characters. It was not until 1446, when King Sejong of Korea invented the Korean script, which gradually replaced Chinese characters.
But in Korean and Japanese, there were many words that sounded the same and could not be distinguished. For example, in Korean underground projects, the words "waterproof" and "water" were written in the same way. But once the meaning was wrong, it would be troublesome.
So until modern times, many important documents in both countries were recorded in Chinese characters.
Now, Koreans' ID cards were marked with traditional Chinese characters. Of course, after some evolution, some of the Chinese characters were no longer the original Chinese characters.
The driver was very magnanimous and spoke in his half-baked Chinese. "Haha! It's fine. Your friend is also worried about you. But our Korea's security is very good. "
Li Jiu chuckled. 'If your security is good, there won't be so many real-life crime movies.'
"Sir, where did you learn Chinese from? Your Chinese is very good."
Li Jiu was just spouting nonsense. He could barely make out the meaning of this Chinese that sounded like kimchi.
But the driver replied proudly. "I had taught myself to improve the service quality! There are many Chinese tourists in Seoul. "
After that, Li Xu started to chat with the driver in Chinese.
