Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

The last day of 2015.

When Chloe finished her tasks for the day, the library was completely deserted.

Even bookworms aren't spending New Year's Eve here.

Chloe closed her book, turned off her tablet, and stretched her aching body.

The thin beige sweater perfectly accentuated her slender figure, while her long legs, encased in jeans, stretched out under the table.

The person was lounging lazily in the chair, creating a beautiful scene, but unfortunately, no one was there to appreciate it.

Her crystal-clear blue eyes gazed at the night sky outside the window, her long, Barbie-doll-like eyelashes fluttering.

Logically speaking, these pretty young girls should be thinking about shopping and fashion, or idol worship and relationship gossip.

No one could have imagined that the girl was muttering these things to herself:

"There's a league match on January 2nd, and the Copa del Rey on the 6th."

"He has to play two games a week after the New Year, it must be very tiring."

"Hopefully, my teammates won't make me drink too much tonight for New Year's Eve, so I can get some rest when I get back."

"Why don't we give him a call?"

"Never mind... I'll wait until midnight, or send a blessing tomorrow morning."

I picked up my phone and hesitated for a long time.

Chloe eventually let it go.

It's already 23:43 PM, with only about ten minutes left until the end of the year.

Go back to your dorm, take a shower, and go to bed early.

It's just an ordinary day anyway, nothing special tonight.

Honey, there are so many handsome guys at the party!

I saw that senior from the business school!

He was asking about you! Why don't you come over and join the fun? I'll introduce you two!

【ASAP!】

Lyra sent several messages in a row, urging Chloe to hurry up.

She also posted a selfie, which shows that the party at her senior's house was indeed very lively.

The mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Leila, holding a beer mug, looked slightly tipsy.

Behind him was a typical handsome Western man, whose tall and strong figure resembled a young Klinsmann.

No girl can resist this kind of occasion.

But Chloe still smiled faintly.

I'm just glad you're having fun, I'm really not going.

Rather than rejecting the endless stream of flirtations at a party and being harassed by various people pretending to be gentlemen,

I'd rather lie in bed and watch Lu Xiao's show.

Sports1 will definitely release a detailed recap of the match that just ended.

Watching the hosts and guests lavish praise on Lu Xiao was much more interesting than a noisy party.

Chloe knows how to enjoy herself.

After packing her things, Chloe put on a fluffy pink fur coat and walked out of the library.

Snowflakes drifted lightly from the sky, and a cold wind blew in through her collar, causing the girl to shiver.

"It's so cold."

It's quite a long walk from the library to the dormitory area.

There are usually many people studying here, and the streetlights are very bright, so Chloe is naturally not afraid.

But on New Year's Eve, all the students went out to play, and the quiet and empty campus made people feel uneasy.

The girl tightened her coat, hurriedly left the library, and jogged towards her dormitory.

There were no pedestrians along the way, and the dim lighting did not bring any sense of security.

Chloe even had the illusion that there were faint footsteps following her.

"Could there be a pervert among them?"

hiss--

The more Chloe thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickened her pace, wishing she could sprint back to her dormitory.

Snap, snap, snap—

Who would have thought that I would actually hear clear footsteps following me!

The girl felt a chill run down her spine and her hair stand on end.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me…

Chloe, like a frightened little rabbit, ran around reciting prayers from the Psalms in the Bible.

I can feel the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Chloe realized that continuing down the road would make it easy for the "pervert" to catch up with her.

I gritted my teeth and turned left into the beer garden.

Next to the University of Munich is the city's largest park, the English Park.

Inside is a Chinese-style building designed and built by the German Joseph Frey, called the Chinese Pagoda.

The tower's design was inspired by the Porcelain Tower of Nanjing.

However, the main building adopts traditional Bavarian wooden craftsmanship, making it an authentic "German-style" Chinese pagoda.

It's like authentic Anhui beef noodles in Hebei.

When Chloe gets tired of studying, she often comes to the tower in the park, finds a patch of grass to sit down, and relax in the sun.

I don't know why,

In her panic, the girl instinctively ran towards the Chinese Tower, as if there was a protective barrier around it, and that she would be safe once she got close.

Logically speaking, at night, students would also be dating and strolling around the tower.

But on New Year's Eve, there was no one at all.

The girl, panting, finally reached the streetlight at the foot of the tower. Illuminated by the light, the tower, with its distinctly Chinese style, appeared solemn and majestic.

This put Chloe at ease a little.

Listening closely, the footsteps disappeared. They had probably shaken off the pervert, or perhaps they had misunderstood and there was just a passerby behind them.

call--

After being suspicious for a while, Chloe sat on a bench at the foot of the tower, panting.

"I guess he's just scaring himself."

Munich has a relatively good safety record and is considered one of the safest cities in Europe.

After calming down, Chloe laughed self-deprecatingly.

I was just about to pack my bag and leave.

As soon as I stood up, I caught a glimpse of a dark figure in the shadows, right up close!

Chloe's heart nearly stopped at that moment, and a chill suddenly rushed up and spread throughout her body!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The instant I instinctively pulled out the self-defense spray from my bag,

A hand reached out and grabbed her delicate wrist.

Finished!

"Take it all! Just don't hurt me!"

In her moment of crisis, Chloe only wanted the thugs to take the money and leave.

But the man held onto her wrist the whole time, standing quietly in place.

Just when the girl was in despair.

"puff……"

The other person seemed unable to hold back their laughter.

Eh?

Chloe then opened her eyes and, under the streetlights, saw the other person's face clearly.

He, whom I usually only see on screen and who occasionally pops into my mind, is now standing in front of me with a smile.

"you!!!"

boom--

"Wait a minute? Holy crap!"

Lu Xiao's vision went black.

Who would have thought that such a seemingly delicate girl would suddenly launch a headbutt attack?

I almost knocked myself unconscious.

Are you Zidane?

"Is it fun?"

At 170cm, she's considered tall for a girl, but she still looks half a head shorter than Lu Xiao.

The girl's exquisite and beautiful face was filled with anger, her cheeks flushed red.

I originally just wanted to give her a surprise.

Looks like things have gone too far.

Romantic scenes in TV dramas often fall short of expectations when implemented in real life.

Lu Xiao finally understood why it was romantic.

Without filters or background music,

Standing in the park on a chilly night, there's hardly any romance to it!

"Sorry, I wanted to surprise you, but I scared you."

The girl didn't speak, but stared intently at him with red eyes.

The atmosphere was a bit cold.

Lu Xiao, also inexperienced, was racking his brains for words to comfort her.

Chloe took another step forward.

However, this time it wasn't a headbutt, but rather the girl's slender, delicate body.

"Waaaaahh ...

"Du Bösewicht!! Nervt mich total!!"

Chloe's voice is usually soft enough.

The girl nestled in his arms was now complaining in an even sweeter, softer voice, with a hint of crying.

A tingling sensation spread from the soles of his feet throughout his body, and Lu Xiao couldn't help but reach out and hug her.

This is the first time I've met someone who speaks German so sweetly.

That last sentence was probably equivalent to "You're so mean, I hate you!" in Chinese.

On a cold winter night, a young couple embraced tightly beneath the deserted China Tower.

The scent of Chanel emanating from her, combined with the glistening sweat from her run, wafted straight into Lu Xiao's nostrils.

This moment seems to be just a fleeting instant, yet it also seems to be eternal.

After some time, Chloe probably realized she was being a bit pretentious. Slightly embarrassed, she pushed Lu Xiao away, took a small step back, and stared at the man again.

"W-What are you doing here? That shouldn't be possible, we just finished a match this afternoon."

"I flew here right after the competition ended, thankfully I made it in time."

He glanced at his wrist at the TAG Heuer brand he endorsed; the hands were almost at zero.

"Was it...specifically for me?"

The girl was stunned, her eyes brimming with disbelief as she stared at herself.

"Otherwise what?"

Lu Xiao looked at her with eyes full of tenderness.

As a result, the girl's eyes welled up with tears again, and the little pearl seemed about to fall out at any moment.

"Hey, don't... It's New Year's Eve, cheer up! Look what I brought."

Lu Xiao quickly pulled out the fairy wand she had prepared from her pocket.

I was thinking of buying some fancy fireworks, but they are banned in Munich.

After wandering around for a while, Lu Xiao could only buy some sparklers at the large German supermarket Lidl before the shopping street closed.

Flying from Madrid, and then going through all this trouble...

It's getting late.

Lu Xiao originally wanted to take her out for a candlelight dinner and find a romantic place to celebrate the New Year.

It looks a bit shabby now, like a poor student dating.

"It's a pity that these are all we have, but we'll have to make do with them."

The girl wiped away her tears, silently took the sparkler and lighter from Lu Xiao's hand, and lit them silently.

In the dimly lit park beneath the Chinese Tower, a light suddenly shone.

Amidst the colorful sparks of the sparkler...

She looked like a two-dimensional girl straight out of a comic book, radiating a dazzling smile that defies description.

Lu Xiao wished she could freeze this scene in her memory forever.

"I'm already so happy to have this!"

Just then, the church bells rang in the distance, their melodious sound echoing through the night sky.

Happy New Year, Lu.

"Happy New Year."

Though the flames before her eyes were gradually fading, the fireworks in Chloe's heart had already soared into the sky and exploded.

A riot of colors, vibrant and colorful.

Thank you, I will always remember this evening.
