147: Revenge out of rebellious psychology

"A Mei, some things, once they're in the past, let them go. If you can't let them go, then try looking back."

"Brother He, I don't want to look back! Why should I break up just because he says so? And then, when he gets dumped, I'm supposed to forgive him if he comes back to me? No, I won't!"

Le Xuan Mai's voice rose, and she drunkenly waved her arms, but her shouts were barely audible in the bar.

"Brother He, do you think such a good thing exists in this world? I, A Mei, am not unwanted. What right does he have to want me when he wants, and break up when he doesn't?"

Le Xuan Mai picked up the cocktail in front of her again and took a large gulp: "This taste really matches my current mood. Good drink."

Watching the girl's increasingly wild expression, Li Qinghe smiled and also picked up a cocktail, taking a large sip.

"There's an old saying in China: 'Don't dwell on the path you've taken, nor question the path you're returning to.' Since you don't want to be entangled with him, then forget the past and completely ignore him."

"Brother He is right, I'll ignore him. Whatever happens to him in the future has nothing to do with me."

Le Xuan Mai suddenly stood up, took a step, and sat in Li Qinghe's lap.

"Brother He, you're really good at comforting people."

Le Xuan Mai, nestled completely in Li Qinghe's embrace, rested her head on his neck and whispered in his ear: "Brother He, I've figured it out. Do you think I'm pretty?"

"Very beautiful, and your figure is great too."

Li Qinghe affirmed her with a hand around Le Xuan Mai's waist.

Le Xuan Mai suddenly sat up straight in Li Qinghe's arms, reached out, and pushed Li Qinghe back against the sofa cushion of the booth. She turned her head, picked up a cocktail, took a sip, and leaned forward to kiss Li Qinghe.

The moment Li Qinghe opened his mouth, a stream of alcohol flowed in.

"Hiss, this Miss is good."

How could Li Qinghe tolerate such a provocation? He also sat up abruptly, and their positions of offense and defense reversed.

After forcefully pouring a large gulp of alcohol into Le Xuan Mai, Li Qinghe directly picked her up and walked out of the bar under the curious gazes of others.

He didn't return to the Pullman Hotel but found a high-end hotel nearby and booked a room.

At 3 million vietnamese dong a night, the Miss at the front desk was not surprised by Li Qinghe carrying a beautiful woman.

She had seen even more eager couples, almost getting intimate while checking in at the front desk.

Ultimately, they started their 'battle' as soon as they entered the elevator, drawing numerous teasing glances from the lobby security guard.

As soon as they entered the room, Le Xuan Mai struggled to get out of Li Qinghe's arms: "Brother He, I need to take a shower first. Wait for me, okay?"

Li Qinghe watched the short but incredibly alluring Miss as she walked towards the bathroom, leaving a trail of clothes on the floor.

Li Qinghe noticed the room's service card, which indicated a valet laundry service.

The fee was 250,000 vietnamese dong, equivalent to 68 dragon country currency.

He directly took off his own clothes, threw both his and Le Xuan Mai's clothes into a laundry bag from the closet.

He put on a bathrobe, called for a waiter to collect the clothes, and the laundry fee would naturally be added to the room charge.

The sound of water in the bathroom continued for a long time, as if Le Xuan Mai was wrestling with something.

Li Qinghe lay down on the lounge chair by the bed, waiting patiently.

By the time Le Xuan Mai emerged from the bathroom, Li Qinghe had almost fallen asleep on the lounge chair.

The Miss came out wrapped only in a bath towel, the alcohol seemingly having worn off a bit.

She gripped the towel tightly: "Brother He, it's your turn to shower."

"I thought you were planning to sleep in the bathroom tonight," Li Qinghe said with a smile, taking off his bathrobe in front of Le Xuan Mai.

Le Xuan Mai's gaze swept around, then her eyes widened, and her small hands covered her mouth.

The bath towel naturally slipped.

Hmm, her figure is really good. Although she's not tall, she has golden proportions.

Li Qinghe entered the bathroom with a satisfied swagger.

A few minutes later, Li Qinghe emerged from the bathroom, toweling his hair, and saw Le Xuan Mai curled up at the head of the bed.

"A Mei, do you know the best way to forget someone?"

"What is it?"

"Have someone else squeeze into your heart and push him out."

"Brother He, then you help me push him out. Don't let him leave any trace in my heart."

"The hearts I squeeze will only bear my image."

"Whatever it takes..."

...The next day, when they opened their eyes, it was almost 10 AM.

"Morning, A Mei, how do you feel?"

"My mood is refreshed, and my whole body feels clear."

Le Xuan Mai smiled and snuggled into Li Qinghe's arms.

Last night, in the process of helping Le Xuan Mai forget her ex-boyfriend, Le Xuan Mai still felt a bit indignant and called him directly.

At first, the other party apologized sincerely, attempting to reconcile.

Le Xuan Mai just softly called out: "Brother He, go for it!"

Li Qinghe, experiencing this kind of operation for the first time, felt his blood boiling.

He directly let Le Xuan Mai continuously curse into the phone, not stopping even when her throat was dry, cursing for so long that the ex-boyfriend on the other end became completely withdrawn, not even knowing when the other party hung up.

This cathartic cursing thoroughly severed any possibility of reconciliation.

"Brother He, your method is really good. Now there's no trace of that person in my heart at all. Now it's your image that remains inside, filling my heart completely. Even when I close my eyes, I see you."

Le Xuan Mai lay on Li Qinghe's chest, looking utterly content. She finally understood what it felt like to be completely full.

Just as it seemed they would combine breakfast and lunch, Le Xuan Mai's phone suddenly rang.

Le Xuan Mai exclaimed "Ah!" and suddenly jumped out of Li Qinghe's arms: "Okay, I'll be right there."

Li Qinghe looked at Le Xuan Mai, who was frantically searching for her clothes, in surprise. He got up, wrapped a bath towel around himself, opened the door, and quickly dragged a laundry basket inside.

Both his and Le Xuan Mai's clothes were clean and neatly folded inside.

"A Mei, your clothes are here."

Le Xuan Mai, completely naked, jumped over, hooked her arms around Li Qinghe's neck, and gave him a deep kiss.

After releasing him, she frantically started putting on her clothes, explaining the reason for her rush to Li Qinghe as she dressed.

They had classes this morning. Her roommate had helped her check in for the first two classes.

But the next class was with a very strict professor, one who would call out names to verify attendance. If Le Xuan Mai wasn't there, she would fail that subject for the semester.

Her roommate knew she hadn't returned to the dorm last night and secretly called to remind her, worried she might oversleep.

So, Le Xuan Mai had to rush to school to repay the favor.

Fortunately, Li Qinghe, finding it troublesome, hadn't returned to the Pullman Hotel last night and had stayed directly in the city center. This hotel was very close to Da Nang University.

It was a two-minute motorcycle ride away.

So, while Le Xuan Mai was getting dressed, Li Qinghe had already called a Grab motorcycle to wait downstairs.

Watching the Miss, after getting dressed, throw out a "Brother He, I'll call you!" and then dash out like a little bird, it was clear how formidable that professor's reputation was.

Li Qinghe closed the door and went back to the bathroom for another shower. He hadn't cleaned up promptly last night; they had just embraced and fallen asleep. Now, feeling sticky was quite uncomfortable.

After slowly and methodically washing up, Li Qinghe got dressed and went to the front desk to check out. It was still not yet 11 AM.

Chen Yuyingqiong sent him a message inviting him to the Da Nang Pink Church and told him there was a delicious seafood noodle shop next to the church.

Every day, the seafood in the shop was freshly caught by fishermen from the sea that morning.
