270: Big Lobster Bar Darts Challenge

The bar was not small, and what made it very different from other bars was that a section of the main hall was specifically designated as a dart area.

In the dart area, several Westerners were competing in darts, with bursts of laughter erupting now and then.

Li Qinghe led Vu Linh Huong to this corner of the bar: "Good evening, everyone."

Besides Coach Ma and Coach Wang, there was one man and two women here.

"Come, let me introduce you to a genius in the kite surfing world, Li Qinghe, who broke the record for the fastest certification in history."

Coach Ma stood up and introduced Li Qinghe to the people at the table.

He then introduced the people at the table to Li Qinghe; they were all members of the Dragon Country Kite Surfing Team, or rather, coaches of the Beach Kite Surfing Club.

Li Qinghe had just learned that Coach Ma's name was Ma Yuxuan, and Coach Wang's name was Wang Zheyang.

The other male coach at the table was Zhao Zihao.

The two female coaches at the table were Lin Yutong and Lin Yuman; by their names, it was clear they were sisters.

They were wearing fitness tank tops and shorts, revealing their toned abs between their tops and waists.

Because of their many years of surfing by the sea, both female coaches were very tanned, appearing much darker than some Southeast Asian girls.

This kind of skin would be very difficult to whiten again without staying indoors for several years.

"Ma Yuxuan, are you deliberately embarrassing us sisters? Don't even mention Vu Linh Huong, even Li Qinghe is a whole lot fairer than us. You specifically brought such fair-skinned people to flaunt in front of us. Do you want to experience being buried in the sand?"

Lin Yutong and Lin Yuman were both very straightforward, like men. They laughed and threatened Ma Yuxuan while waving their fists.

Lin Yutong, Lin Yuman

"It's easy to get whiter! If you have time, come to Saigon. My family has a whitening product that works very well. Just apply a layer before exercising, and I guarantee you'll be several shades lighter in a month."

Vu Linh Huong, having seen the world, peeled back the veil of an ordinary bar and found it wasn't as dirty, messy, or bad as she had imagined. She regained her elegant, noblewoman demeanor.

In this environment, she believed Li Qinghe had enough strength to protect her safety.

Hearing Lin Yutong and Lin Yuman's playful remarks, she also stepped forward to chat, sitting directly next to the two girls.

With Vu Linh Huong initiating the conversation, the three girls—two dark-skinned and one fair-skinned—quickly became very chummy.

The two 'little dark-skinned girls' were genuinely envious of Vu Linh Huong's fair and delicate skin. Coincidentally, Vu Linh Huong was very knowledgeable about beauty, and she spoke to them until their eyes sparkled.

Judging by their expressions, they seemed eager to go to Saigon to experience what Vu Linh Huong called the "snow white" package.

Vu Linh Huong shared her WeChat number with them, telling them to call or message her when they arrived in Saigon.

Ma Yuxuan and the others nearby then learned that Vu Linh Huong actually owned several beauty salons in Saigon.

Without knowing Vu Linh Huong's background, she appeared to them as a quintessential 'fair, rich, and beautiful' woman.

Suddenly, their envy for Li Qinghe reached a new level; he was tall and handsome, and his girlfriend was also quite wealthy.

The girls gathered in a group, chatting animatedly.

The boys also gathered in a group, primarily because Zhao Zihao was somewhat skeptical that Li Qinghe had learned the content of 7 to 10 lessons in just two lessons.

It wasn't until Ma Yuxuan showed him the video clips taken that afternoon, where he saw Li Qinghe perform like a kite surfer who had been playing for several years, that he was completely convinced.

There are many ways for men to bond, and drinking is definitely one of the quickest ways to get acquainted. After just a few drinks, strangers from minutes ago can be arm-in-arm, calling each other brothers.

Well, the fathers of Li Mingyue and Li Mingxing were also won over this way.

"Come, let's all raise a glass. It's fate that we can gather together in a foreign land," Ma Yuxuan said, raising his glass and encouraging them to drink.

Ma Yuxuan was treating them today. He was a bachelor with no family and no girlfriend, and his income was quite substantial, so he tended to be a bit extravagant with money.

Meeting a genius like Li Qinghe today, he invited a few teammates for drinks, inevitably with a bit of a showing-off mentality.

This was his student; his name was on Li Qinghe's international surfing certification as the approving coach.

Wang Zheyang had taught with him that afternoon and personally witnessed the monstrous speed of Li Qinghe's learning.

After watching the video, Zhao Zihao's surprised expression greatly pleased Ma Yuxuan.

Although they were teammates, there wasn't much petty nonsense between them. Besides competing in surfing skills during sports, they also competed in their teaching abilities.

They held not only advanced athlete certificates from the International Kite Surfing Organization but also coaching certificates.

And teaching ability was one of the assessment criteria.

Seeing Li Qinghe's beautiful girlfriend chatting so animatedly with Lin Yutong and Lin Yuman, his desire to show off diminished considerably.

Without an audience to show off to, Ma Yuxuan busied himself with getting everyone to drink. This was the realm of Saigon beer and Mojito cocktails.

While the bars in Mui Ne didn't have as much fancy lighting and decoration, their close-to-nature, rustic style captivated countless tourists.

Li Qinghe's table in the corner was even quieter; apart from the bar's background music, their conversation wasn't too affected.

"Come, let's all toast again."

Ma Yuxuan raised his glass once more, inviting everyone.

"Cheers!"

The crisp, loud clinking of glasses echoed in this corner of the bar, causing tourists at other tables to turn and look.

The dark-skinned surfing coaches were mistaken for locals, and after a glance, people paid them no further attention.

While Vu Linh Huong, Lin Yutong, and Lin Yuman were happily chatting, Zhao Zihao got up and encouraged everyone to play darts.

The dart area in this bar had a game challenge: if you could clear 501 points in 3 consecutive rounds, you would win a 700ml bottle of whiskey.

This challenge has been a long-standing attraction at the Big Lobster Bar, with each customer having two chances to challenge it per night.

Every customer who wins the challenge receives the honor of having their photo displayed on the bar's wall.

Zhao Zihao was very obsessed with this, and he influenced Ma Yuxuan and Wang Zheyang. As regulars here, they were also regulars in the dart challenge area.

Ma Yuxuan was treating tonight, so everyone deferred to his opinion.

"Hey, tonight I'll let everyone see my dart skills, which I've been secretly practicing for a long time."

Ma Yuxuan rubbed his hands together. Life in Mui Ne was fulfilling yet monotonous.

During the day, he practiced kite surfing on the beach and also trained tourists in kite surfing.

Beyond that, there weren weren't many other entertainment activities.

Everyone could only go to the bar for a couple of drinks after work in the evening, and playing darts became something they were very passionate about.

After all, they were young people. These straight men and women had garnered many envious glances on the beach during the day, and they also wanted to be admired by everyone in the bar at night.

While passing the boring time, they hoped to hoist that golden bottle of whiskey amidst everyone's envious gazes.

Therefore, Lin Yutong and Lin Yuman were also dart enthusiasts.

With a shout, everyone put up a 'temporarily away' sign on their table, and Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong were also swept along to the dart area.

As Ma Yuxuan and the others walked, they explained the game rules to Li Qinghe, then lamented that no one had yet managed to win that bottle of whiskey.

Looking at the dart lane, which was only a little over two meters long, Li Qinghe playfully stroked his chin.
