212: Everyone is chatting

Returning from District 5 to the high-end apartment in District 3.

Li Qinghe discovered that Hoang Dang Minh Thu had not come over to sleep. He opened his phone and found a message from her: 'Brother Qinghe, I can't attend to you these few days, sleep by yourself.'

The message was followed by many heart symbols.

Li Qinghe looked at the message on his phone, then at the empty apartment. What was Minh Thu doing? Was this considered 'hit it and quit it'?

But last night had indeed been a bit intense. However, Li Qinghe couldn't be blamed for that; she was the one who got excited thinking about Vu Linh Huong coming.

Li Qinghe compiled the process of getting to know Zhang Meiqi, Li Mingyue, and Li Mingxing today, their shopping trip, including the historical explanations of several temples in District 5 they visited.

He edited a long video and posted it on Kuaidou, titling it 'Saigon's Dragon-descendant Sisters, Each Can Enter Your Heart'.

On TT, he edited a concise version, focusing on introducing the customs and culture of District 5 in Saigon. He titled it 'If You Have a Dragon Country Stomach, Don't Miss These Shops in Saigon'.

He included clips of that lamb hotpot restaurant and the roast meat shop, even giving the coconut milk coffee shop a special feature, indirectly giving them some advertising.

With Li Qinghe's current follower count of over 700,000 on TT, the effect of this advertisement would be incredible. People would definitely make special trips to taste the food at these shops.

He worked out shirtless in the apartment's gym for a while, sprayed some water droplets on his body, and used the future camera to shoot a multi-angle video posted on TT and YouTube.

Foreign video platforms emphasize simplicity and directness. Unfortunately, the taste of the system-bound Kuaidou was somewhat different from external platforms, so Li Qinghe still needed to keep exploring.

400,000 followers were already within reach. Would 500,000 be far behind?

After finishing all this, he chatted with Vu Linh Huong for a bit. The noble lady was still working overtime, striving to come to Saigon for their romantic rendezvous, so the video call ended after just a few words.

He made a video call to Nguyen Thi Linh, only to find the three of them happily sitting at home eating hotpot.

Ever since Li Qinghe took her to Haidilao, Nguyen Thi Linh had developed a liking for the taste of sesame sauce. She specifically went to a Dragon Country supermarket and bought a lot of imported sesame sauce to store in the refrigerator.

Tonight, the three of them bought beef, lamb, chicken, and vegetables and were gathered in the living room having a late-night snack.

With Li Qinghe not at home, their table had more vegetables and less meat; it was practically a vegetarian feast per person.

A Ying even got Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh to drink beer with her.

It was clear that the few of them living together got along quite harmoniously.

However, the large plush toy on the chair opposite Nguyen Thi Linh indicated that this girl had remembered the habit of not sharing a table with three people. The toy was her last stubborn defiance.

But this seemed to be slowly changing when Li Qinghe was at home, showing that habits can change with the environment.

Since they were at their own home, all three were dressed very lightly. Sitting around the hotpot, they gave off a strong 'Hotpot Beauty' vibe.

A Ying could prove with the 'conscience' almost bursting out from under her apron that they were indeed dressed very lightly.

The two sisters Li Mingyue and Li Mingxing, whom he met today, were also like A Ying, having secretly drunk homemade rice wine since childhood.

Do all Dragon-descendant sisters have a hobby of stealing alcohol? Thinking of A Ying's alcohol tolerance, Li Qinghe mentally upgraded the alcohol tolerance of the Li Mingyue and Li Mingxing sisters by several levels.

Seeing A Ying still sober at the table while Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh were already a bit tipsy, Li Qinghe smiled and told A Ying to let them drink less.

It seemed today's cleanup duty would fall to A Ying alone.

After finishing the call with Nguyen Thi Linh and the others, Li Qinghe made a video call to Tran Ngoc Anh Quynh in Da Nang.

It was evident this bespectacled girl was very happy that Li Qinghe took the initiative to contact her. Sitting on her dorm bed, she smiled like a flower.

They chatted about recent happenings. Knowing Li Qinghe was currently playing in Saigon, Tran Ngoc Anh Quynh expressed real-name envy. She wanted Li Qinghe to accompany her on a trip to Thailand when he had time.

Li Qinghe agreed first, but couldn't fix a time. They'd have to see both their schedules.

After chatting for a while, amidst her roommates' chattering discussions, Tran Ngoc Anh Quynh blushed and hung up the phone.

Li Qinghe then made a video call to Le Xuan Mai. This girl was also already lying in her dorm bed, looking like she had been asleep for a while.

Seeing it was Li Qinghe's call instantly perked her up. Sitting up in bed, Le Xuan Mai didn't mind at all her 'spring scenery' being exposed on camera.

Li Qinghe had already seen everything there was to see, so she had nothing to hide, presenting herself openly.

After chatting with Li Qinghe for a bit, the girl mysteriously put a finger to her lips in a 'shh' gesture in front of the camera, then switched the camera direction.

Before Li Qinghe appeared several girls wearing only bras and panties, their fair, tender skin very eye-catching.

At first glance, it was quite stimulating. But upon closer look, it was just so-so. Mainly because Le Xuan Mai's roommates weren't as good-looking as her, nor did they have her figure.

For Li Qinghe, he wasn't necessarily interested in looking unless the girls had distinctive features. Subconsciously lowering the detection glasses on his head, a sea of deep green health bars instantly killed his interest.

But then Li Qinghe discovered something amazing: the detection glasses could actually detect through the screen.

It seemed using these to browse short videos, one could tell at a glance whether those seemingly pure, holy 'little sisters' were genuinely innocent or just acting.

Seeing Li Qinghe's eyes light up initially but then his expression turn indifferent, Le Xuan Mai turned the camera back. Seeing her roommates hadn't noticed her, she quietly showed him a mahjong tile.

A satisfied smile reappeared on Li Qinghe's face. Le Xuan Mai was still the better one to look at, pleasing to the eye.

It seemed that while playing around was fine, the plants that needed watering still had to be watered from time to time so they could grow better.

After making video calls to everyone in a round, Li Qinghe finally lay contentedly on the huge round bed.

Although he couldn't wake up on a bed spanning tens of thousands of square meters every day, one covering over a dozen square meters was achievable.

He soaked in the jacuzzi for a while. Li Qinghe, for once, slept a 'vegetarian' night alone.

A night without dreams...

As soon as the sky brightened a little, Li Qinghe got up full of energy. The downside of having an overly strong body was that, whether after a 'meaty' or 'vegetarian' night, every morning he was a man standing tall and firm.

He could only quietly stand in his stance, willing the steel to turn supple.

In this condition, he couldn't even practice Tan Tui because it would pull uncomfortably. Applying a bit too much force might risk pulling tendons and... other things.

After washing up in the bathroom, Li Qinghe put on a long-sleeved, long-pants casual outfit. He planned to go out early to District 5 for Cantonese morning tea.

He could have breakfast and then meet up with Zhang Meiqi. Although it meant backtracking, Li Qinghe didn't mind for the sake of good food.

Yesterday, while chatting with Zhang Meiqi and the others, he had already asked about the best morning tea place in District 5. He had also confirmed the shop's location on the way back from the mall.

Li Qinghe shouldered a small bag and went out. Most of his things were in his spatial storage; the small bag was just for cover.

He rode his bike, reaching the morning tea shop in District 5 in less than half an hour from District 3.

This morning tea shop was in a small alley, serving breakfast starting at 6 AM. According to Zhang Meiqi and the others, the shop owner went to purchase fresh seafood and vegetables in the early hours every day to make the dim sum.

If you went too late, even the dim sum might be sold out.
