The greatest selfishness is assuming others aren't selfish.
Li Kai suddenly recalled that phrase. He couldn't remember where he'd heard it—maybe from some guy playing guitar at a youth hostel years ago.
He now fully realized that Brother Chu might have actually done him a favor by serving as a touchstone for women.
Take Teacher Meng, for example. She was usually a stand-up, straightforward girl—not high-maintenance like other women. Plus, she was self-disciplined, hitting the gym every day. In her relationships, she was relatively prim and proper, especially given the vibe of their social circle. When they went out to eat, she always kept things fair and paid her way…
That was the general impression Li Kai had of her.
To be fair, a girl like that is pretty rare these days.
That was why, for so many years, the halo he saw around her had never faded.
Now, though... that impression wasn't completely shattered, but the light had certainly gone out.
