"I'm going to eat, too. Goodbye!"
After leaving these words, Liu Xin'an didn't reply to Bae Juhyun's message anymore.
Bae Juhyun didn't even respond to that message, after all, her objective was already achieved, and by not replying now, she could return the favor of Liu Xin'an's read-but-ignored message, killing two birds with one stone!
As for what Liu Xin'an decided to eat that night... well, that was none of her business~
"Juhyun, do you want to watch a movie?"
"Oh? What movie?"
The call from her younger sister outside the door made her sit up in bed. One of the benefits of being back in the dormitory was that she no longer had to endure a boring life.
Having someone to watch TV and chat with was definitely better than zoning out alone at home!
Well... that was if her mood wasn't so EMO; otherwise, having company was pointless.
Nevertheless, since the group had five members, and although Park Sooyoung was still on the set for a TV drama shoot today, the dormitory would still have four members at home.
Finding a movie that satisfied all four tastes was not an easy task.
Bae Juhyun didn't ask for the movie title because by the time she came out, it had already started playing.
Bae Juhyun followed the sisters watching the movie for a while before she stood up.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll go sit on the balcony."
For Bae Juhyun, who had the habit of viewing night scenes, not going out to feel the chill of the night at this time would make her uncomfortable.
"Now? It's really cold outside."
"I'll be fine if I wear a coat."
Indeed, it was very cold, but it was precisely the coldness outside that made her more alert.
Similarly, the night sky of the deep autumn was exceptionally beautiful.
Just looking at it was enough to make her feel uplifted.
After rejecting her members' persuasion, Bae Juhyun went to sit on the balcony and stared blankly at the star-studded night sky.
The layout of the dormitory was entirely different from that of her home.
Not to mention anything else, the balcony here was merely a place for them to hang clothes and didn't offer much space for Bae Juhyun to sit comfortably.
She missed the balcony at home, which was not so cold and allowed her to lie down comfortably.
But the familiar night sky still managed to relax her, no matter how the environment changed, the beautiful night would always accompany her.
After looking up for a long time, Bae Juhyun couldn't help but think of Liu Xin'an, who had been accompanying her to look at the night view these past days.
She took out her phone from her pocket and, without realizing it, opened up the chat with Liu Xin'an.
The response-less chatbox made her snort quietly.
She had thought that guy would also send her a picture of his dinner.
With nothing to do, Bae Juhyun clicked on Liu Xin'an's profile picture.
Since he hadn't actually started using this app, his profile picture was still the default one chosen at registration.
Bae Juhyun pouted, casually opened a social media platform, and typed in the three characters "Liu Xin'an."
Well, of course, she found no news about him.
After all, he was a foreigner, and even with over 4 million followers, that was on a video website in China.
Not understanding Chinese, and not knowing the video website Liu Xin'an had shown her, searching for his news using her country's language was impractical.
But for some reason, she suddenly really wanted to watch that guy's videos.
Maybe it was because Liu Xin'an sort of counted as a colleague of hers?
And because she was very curious about the job of a video blogger?
Bae Juhyun herself had thought about venturing into this field. Well... initially, she thought if she couldn't salvage her reputation, she would break her contract with the company and become a video blogger.
After all, she needed a way to make a living, as an artist who dedicated all her youth to the company, it would be really hard to earn money without that identity.
But the complexity of making videos made her hesitate, and she gradually lost interest in that idea.
However, now she had met a professional video blogger, so the thought started to reignite in the back of her mind.
Yes, she was considering a backup plan, so that was why she wanted to watch Liu Xin'an's videos.
It definitely wasn't because she was just bored!
She told herself that.
With this not-an-excuse excuse in her mind, Bae Juhyun suddenly felt energized.
She didn't think about whether to pay back the favor of leaving a message unread, but rapidly typed a message after finding Liu Xin'an's chat interface.
"What video app do you use in China?!"
```
"What's your Huaxia ID? Send it to me, please. I'm really interested in being a video blogger, can I learn from you?"
One minute...
Two minutes...
As Bae Juhyun watched the message she sent turn into "read" in an instant, yet received no reply from Liu Xin'an whatsoever, her breathing grew heavier and heavier.
Shrinking into her thick coat, feeling its warmth, Bae Juhyun's heart was also blazing.
Ugh... from anger.
She was angry that the bastard had done it again—read but did not reply—and that she couldn't keep her own composure at all!
"He's doing it on purpose, isn't he? Ah!! So infuriating, that bastard!"
Grumbling to herself in annoyance, she glared at the wall on her dormitory balcony as if Liu Xin'an were living right next door.
She had no idea that leaving his phone aside with the auto-lock feature turned off was just Liu Xin'an's habit.
How could there possibly be someone in this world who could completely ignore their phone thrown aside without even glancing at it!
Impossible!
So she simply assumed that the bastard was purposely not replying to her message.
Trying to pique her interest?
Being a nonconformist?
Foul personality?
She thought all of these were possibilities!
———
As for Liu Xin'an, who Juhyun was speculating about with such malice,
He was actually just wearing headphones, sitting in front of the computer, watching a TV show and eating.
Being alone, he naturally couldn't order a massive amount of food like Juhyun did.
Um... a side note, from the photo Juhyun sent to him, it was clear that she was hanging out with friends.
He was able to sense Juhyun's low spirits, and now, with friends by her side, she should feel a bit better.
It was because of this thought that Xin'an didn't feel upset about Juhyun sharing photos of gourmet food with him.
Um... of course, there was also the reason that they weren't very familiar with each other.
Try sending a photo like that to Li Chenglu and see, he would remember it for years!
After swallowing the mouthful of curry he had, Liu Xin'an tidied up the takeout containers, placing them neatly into a trash bag, and stared at the bag with a headache.
Ever since he had arrived here, he hadn't had much authentic local food, with today's lunch of bibimbap barely qualifying.
But, talk about cuisine... in this respect, moving from Huaxia to here was definitely like going from heaven to hell.
The distinctive foods here are really rare.
He had believed that most of what he heard about this place back in the country was just stereotypes.
But once he actually came here, he found out... it wasn't just non-stereotypical, the reviews back home were too mild.
It really was a gourmet desert, and Liu Xin'an finally understood why Snow Cat chose to become a food blogger here.
If she had to eat here every day, she would break down too.
But cooking was definitely out of the question for Liu Xin'an, so he could only try to vary his diet as much as possible to satisfy his palate.
After eating, Liu Xin'an opened up a search engine that worked in the area.
He knew his mom was from Seoul.
But as to which district specifically, that was completely beyond him.
Though he did hear bits and pieces from his aunt.
"Yongsan..."
Yongsan is a district in Seoul where he currently was.
You have to admit, people here are really strange.
Seoul, such a tiny place, and yet it's divided into dozens of districts.
Does walking down the street count as crossing into another district?
After briefly flipping through introductions about Yongsan, Liu Xin'an supported his chin with one hand, a headache looming.
Just from this bit of information, how could he possibly deduce his mom's background?
Liu Xin'an sighed, set down the mouse, leaning back into his gaming chair, lazily squinting his eyes.
So annoying, he just wanted to give up.
