223: Fear of heights needs to be overcome slowly

"A Xing is coming over too?"

Zhang Meiqi was a little surprised. She glanced at Li Qinghe and then realized, "So she wants to come over to see the view."

"The view from this Pullman Hotel is quite good."

"Yes, A Xing said she felt very strange last night, knowing that we were staying in a hotel thirty stories high, looking at Saigon's night view. She sulked all morning..."

Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue chatted idly across from Li Qinghe. The sofa was right in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, which didn't affect their view of the city outside.

Half the morning quickly passed in the casual conversation of the few people.

Li Qinghe also took this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the career views and working environment of young people in Saigon.

Overall, the economic environment here in Saigon is still on the rise.

And as an economy grows, more and more positions of all kinds are needed.

Young people have relatively more choices.

Therefore, Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue are relatively optimistic about the future, and being young, they feel that life is full of hope.

Just as Li Qinghe and the others were about to go for lunch, Li Mingxing finally arrived at the hotel.

Today, Li Mingxing was wearing a camisole, floral hot pants, and sandals, looking very youthful and vibrant.

"Brother Qinghe, you guys stayed in a tall building and didn't even bring me!"

Li Mingxing bounced into the suite, found Li Qinghe, and shook his arm, pouting playfully.

She felt that Li Qinghe looked even more masculine today, and she instinctively wanted to be close to him.

"I want to see the view here too," Li Mingxing expressed her thoughts directly.

"But you're injured," Li Qinghe glanced at the spot still wrapped in gauze.

"I just have a scrape, it's not like my limbs are broken."

Li Mingxing sat on the large bed, her mouth pouting so much she could hang an oil drum from it.

"Brother Qinghe, come on, take me to see the view. Like A-Yue, I'm a little afraid of heights and don't dare to get too close to high places."

Li Mingxing

Li Qinghe looked at Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue with a bit of difficulty.

The two of them sat on the sofa, smiling, watching the show.

"Brother Qinghe, go on, take A Xing to see the daytime view of Saigon," Li Mingyue also egged him on from the side.

Li Qinghe looked at Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue, who didn't seem to mind at all. He found this way of thinking a bit hard to understand.

But not understanding didn't mean he disagreed with doing it.

"A Xing, you must be tired coming from the Normal University, why don't we go to the hotel's Italian restaurant for lunch first?"

Li Qinghe made a suggestion.

"No..."

A camisole flew onto the sofa.

"You're forcing a man to stay..." Li Qinghe shook his head and strode forward.

"Brother Qinghe, let's go to the Cu Chi Tunnels to play..."

Li Qinghe held Li Mingxing's slender waist, carefully standing in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window.

Li Mingxing told Li Qinghe about a famous attraction near Saigon.

It turned out that it was one of the battlefields of the famous Vietnamese version of tunnel warfare.

Back then, the North Vietnam guerrillas fought the American army there.

From Li Mingxing, he learned that the tunnels in Cu Chi were dug very narrow, and slender people could move through them more freely.

A tall and strong man like Li Qinghe would have to crouch and squeeze through the tunnels little by little.

"Brother Qinghe, you have to squeeze into the tunnel like this..." Li Mingxing grimaced in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, demonstrating to Li Qinghe how to navigate the tunnels.

"There's no need to teach this. When it comes to tunnel warfare, Dragon Country People are the real experts. Look, like this, and this, you can squeeze in quickly."

Li Qinghe confidently displayed his talent for tunnel warfare. In this aspect, Dragon Country People are completely the ancestors of the Vietnamese.

Li Mingxing listened, dumbfounded, as Li Qinghe eloquently explained the tricks of tunnel warfare.

Finally, she was utterly impressed by Li Qinghe's vast knowledge.

What was particularly interesting was Li Mingyue; she also leaned on the sofa, showing a strange expression.

"Brother Qinghe, actually, the Cu Chi Tunnels not only have narrow tunnels, but there's also a shooting range where you can fire real guns," Zhang Meiqi added, informing Li Qinghe about a special feature of the attraction.

They saw Li Mingxing exclaiming loudly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window as she looked at the scenery of Saigon, remembering that they had only seen the night view there last night.

From this height and angle, they wondered what Saigon looked like during the day.

So, unable to resist, they also leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Indeed, Saigon looked completely different from here during the day. Before long, they, like Li Mingxing, also started exclaiming excitedly.

"Look, that's the Coffee Apartment..."

"That's the Post Office..."

"It turns out the church tower looks so tiny from here..."

Another hour passed... Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue also collapsed onto the sofa, feeling weak.

Acrophobia is something that is difficult to cure with one or two sessions of height exposure.

Therefore, the entire process of overcoming it requires gradual adjustment.

Seeing that these girls all wanted to continue experiencing the feeling of being so high up.

Li Qinghe could only painstakingly take them to the window one by one.

It took a while for everyone to recover.

Li Qinghe took them to the Italian restaurant on the 20th floor.

At noon, many foreign tourists gathered there to dine.

The vast restaurant was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of cutlery hitting plates.

Four people just filled one dining table.

Li Qinghe took the menu and ordered some classic Italian dishes.

After only a short wait, the waiter brought the dishes in order.

The appetizers were Parma ham with melon and scallops with creamy lemon sauce.

For the main course, Zhang Meiqi and the other three were served Ossobuco, braised veal shanks with saffron risotto.

As for Li Qinghe himself, he was served a Florentine T-bone steak, a 2-kilogram cut.

The waiter explained that it was Tuscan Chianina beef, imported directly from Italy. This breed, originating from central Italy, is the perfect ingredient for making Florentine T-bone steak.

The generous amount of meat made Li Qinghe very satisfied.

For the next course, an arugula salad was served, which nicely cut through the richness for everyone.

Finally, the dessert was lemon rosemary cheese crisps baked with Parmesan cheese.

Li Qinghe had never eaten Italian food before, but today's meal was quite acceptable.

Especially the T-bone steak, which left him very satisfied.

Zhang Meiqi and the other three also expressed great satisfaction, as they grew up in Saigon and, in addition to traditional Dragon Country People cuisine in District 5, had also eaten many Western dishes.

So they were very receptive to Western food.

He returned to the suite with the three girls, whose bellies were round from eating.

They would continue to enjoy the view here today.

Although the area inside the house was only 100 square meters, there was also a swimming pool of over 200 square meters outside.

This was the essence of this suite.

Li Qinghe also asked the suite butler to buy bikini swimsuits according to the body sizes of Zhang Meiqi and the others.

Now, Zhang Meiqi and Li Mingyue could go into the water, while Li Mingxing, having just finished admiring the view and still having wounds on her elbows and knees, could only sit by the pool and watch them play.

They would continue to stay here tonight and enjoy the night view of Saigon.

Tomorrow, they would rent a car and go to the Cu Chi Tunnels, about 40 kilometers from Saigon, for a tour.

Although Zhang Meiqi and the others grew up in Saigon, they had never actually been to the Cu Chi Tunnels.
