153: Witnessed by roommates
Although her roommates didn't quite believe her, Chen Yuyingqiong was extremely happy.
The intensity of her roommates' comments reflected how stimulated they were.
She thought about the videos Li Qinghe had taken; once they were edited, she would send them to her roommates to show them how formidable the man she found was.
Chen Yuyingqiong was filled with the joy of successful revenge.
Li Qinghe watched Chen Yuyingqiong beside him with a smile, like a little fox that had stolen a chicken, secretly chuckling to herself.
The food here was served quite quickly; before Li Qinghe and the others had even finished two cups of tea, the clams and razor clams were already on the table.
From the occasional flashes of fire from the back kitchen, one could tell that all the dishes here were stir-fried over high heat, full of wok hei.
Li Qinghe picked up a razor clam and put it in his mouth; the spiciness bloomed on his tongue, and the sweet freshness that followed the heat was a flavor only fresh seafood could provide.
"The taste is really good, A Quynh, you should try it too."
Li Qinghe picked up a clam for Chen Yuyingqiong, and Chen Yuyingqiong also picked up a clam for Li Qinghe.
Coincidentally, Li Qinghe was right-handed, and Chen Yuyingqiong was left-handed. Chen Yuyingqiong happened to be sitting on the left, so when they sat together, their chopsticks didn't interfere with each other.
As more seafood dishes were brought to the table, both of them ate with great enjoyment.
It wasn't until the largest dish, garlic butter lobster, arrived that Li Qinghe discovered the servers here even offered a lobster-deshelling service.
And it was done very cleanly, not even missing the meat in the lobster claws.
Just as Li Qinghe and Nguyen Ngoc Anh Quynh were exchanging food, with him picking a sea snail for her and her picking a piece of curry crab for him, a surprised greeting suddenly came from behind them.
"A Quynh, so you're eating here!"
Li Qinghe and Nguyen Ngoc Anh Quynh both turned around sharply and saw a man and a woman standing not far away, the woman's face full of surprise.
Ruan Cao and her boyfriend.
"A Cao, so you came too."
Chen Yuyingqiong quickly stood up and pulled Li Qinghe over to introduce him.
"Brother He, this is my roommate Ruan Cao, and this is A Cao's boyfriend, A Jian."
"A Cao, this is Li Qinghe, Brother He."
She didn't explicitly introduce him as her boyfriend, but her actions clearly indicated that Li Qinghe was her boyfriend.
Li Qinghe walked up to them and noticed that Ruan Cao was probably around 1.5 meters tall, and her boyfriend was about 1.7 meters tall.
Since they were all young people, there was no formal handshaking; they simply acknowledged each other with a nod and eye contact, which counted as a greeting.
"A Quynh, the boyfriend you found is so tall! So what you posted on Zalo was all true."
Ruan Cao looked up at Li Qinghe's face, then turned to look at her own boyfriend, and suddenly felt a bit disappointed.
"A Quynh, you don't mind if I take a photo, do you?"
"Go ahead and take it if you want."
Chen Yuyingqiong knew what Ruan Cao wanted to do, so she subtly shifted a step and hugged Li Qinghe's arm.
Ruan Cao picked up her phone, took a photo of them together, and posted it in their dorm group chat.
She wrote in the group: "Witnessed with my own eyes, what A Quynh said is true, tall and handsome."
"A Jian, it's rare to meet, let's eat together."
Seeing Chen Yuyingqiong and Ruan Cao whispering together, Li Qinghe proactively invited Ruan Cao's boyfriend.
He chose not to invite Ruan Cao to avoid misunderstandings, as it was their first meeting.
"No need to be polite, Brother He, we've already ordered."
A Jian quickly waved his hand; the man in front of him had too strong a presence, and sitting with him, he would only be overshadowed.
He had keenly observed Ruan Cao's eyes when she saw the tall Li Qinghe approaching.
There was a flicker of curiosity and excitement in her gaze.
He certainly didn't want to finish a meal and lose his girlfriend; such things are never rational.
After Chen Yuyingqiong and Ruan Cao whispered for a while, Chen Yuyingqiong also invited them to join for the meal.
Ruan Cao was a little tempted; this was a 1.85-meter-tall guy! In their university with tens of thousands of students, you didn't see many men that tall.
But A Jian quickly pulled her away; if they chatted any longer, he worried Ruan Cao might leave with someone else.
Back at her seat, Chen Yuyingqiong happily scrolled through her phone.
"A Quynh, why aren't you eating? What are you giggling about?"
"My roommates all say you're so handsome. Hmph, let them show off every day."
After their afternoon conversation, Li Qinghe knew what made her emotional.
He echoed, "Yes, let them just look, they can see but not taste."
Li Qinghe's words amused Chen Yuyingqiong, and she lightly patted his shoulder.
"Brother He, you're so naughty."
"I'm on your side, you know. Or should I let them all have a taste of me?"
"No way..."
The two of them resumed their previous interaction of sharing food, and their feelings gradually warmed up through this interaction.
Perhaps knowing that Ruan Cao was nearby, Chen Yuyingqiong's actions became increasingly intimate.
She was planning to release all her accumulated emotions in one night.
Especially when the last dish, water spinach, arrived; the fresh and tender water spinach tasted very good.
After Chen Yuyingqiong fed Li Qinghe a mouthful of water spinach, she saw a long piece of it still hanging out, so she directly opened her mouth and sucked it in.
With a pout, the two of them shared a solid kiss.
The external assistance came so stimulatingly.
Li Qinghe calmly enjoyed Chen Yuyingqiong's affectionate advances.
To reach this point, he had also expended some energy and brain cells, hadn't he? Now was the time to slowly reap the rewards.
Li Qinghe and Chen Yuyingqiong had eaten almost all the dishes they ordered. Li Qinghe also had a bowl of rice, drizzled with some curry crab sauce, which tasted quite good.
The fresh sweetness of fresh seafood truly couldn't be compared to frozen seafood.
Li Qinghe thought the food here was indeed very good, and he could come back to eat a few more times during his stay in Da Nang.
Li Qinghe also noticed that, due to Da Nang's coastal advantage, apple snails, which were common in Hanoi, were rarely seen here.
Mostly, there were affordable seafood options like clams and razor clams.
Of course, perhaps Li Qinghe hadn't ventured into the small alleys to forage for food; after all, some things are hard to discover without delving into the local life.
After eating their fill, Chen Yuyingqiong took Li Qinghe to say goodbye to Ruan Cao and A Jian before leaving.
Li Qinghe rode his motorcycle, taking Chen Yuyingqiong to the hotel they stayed at last night; he had already paid for the extended stay that morning.
More importantly, at noon, Le Xuan Mai sent a message saying she wouldn't be coming over that night and needed a night's rest; she had sucked too hard on cocktails last night, and her lips were swollen.
With Le Xuan Mai out of the picture, they could continue staying at this hotel, as it wasn't too far from Duy Tan University anyway.
Because the central area of Da Nang isn't actually that large; if you're not in a hurry, you can even walk around it.
Li Qinghe took Chen Yuyingqiong to a convenience store first to buy a few cans of beer; he still remembered what happened at the beach bar last night.
He told Chen Yuyingqiong that drinking some alcohol could effectively relax her body and help her take more natural photos.
The Miss at the front desk showed no surprise at Li Qinghe bringing one girl yesterday and another today.
If a handsome guy like Li Qinghe found her attractive, she would be willing to join in too.
"Brother He, should I drink first or change clothes first?"
As soon as they entered the room, Chen Yuyingqiong eagerly asked, sounding very impatient.
