377: chance encounter on the road

After seeing the content Nguyen Thi Trinh off, Li Qinghe was invited to Two Rice Grains' place.

With the same attire and the same eagerness to learn, Two Rice Grains had already adopted a serious attitude towards studying.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh

How much you learn isn't important; what's important is that your attitude towards learning must be proper.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh greeted Li Qinghe with a smile.

"Brother, I'm not learning how to stir-fry dishes; I want to learn akalin stir-fried Rice Noodles. Everyone says akalin stir-fried Rice Noodles has a soul. Please teach me."

"A Ying, I have to give you a big thumbs up for this choice. Although stir-fried Rice Noodles are simple, they are absolutely indispensable to us akalin people."

"Brother, what's the difference between this akalin Rice Noodles and our Vietnam Rice Noodles?"

"Of course there's a difference. Most of Vietnam's Rice Noodles are boiled, but our akalin Rice Noodles only get their smoky flavor from being stir-fried."

"You must first open yourself up so that knowledge can enter better."

"For akalin stir-fried Rice Noodles, you first need to soak the noodles in warm water. It's better if they're a little firm when you put them in to stir-fry. If you're boiling them, it's best to rinse them with cold water afterwards to make them chewier and more elastic..."

"When stir-frying noodles, you must stir-fry the ingredients separately first, and then combine them with the noodles at the end. You need to be quick when stir-frying..."

The steps for stir-frying noodles were not simple, but Chau Pham Thuy Anh absorbed every step very seriously... In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

When Li Qinghe woke up, Chau Pham Thuy Anh and Nguyen Thi Linh were experimenting with akalin stir-fried Rice Noodles. They decided to make it for breakfast.

Diligent people tend to learn things more deeply.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh and her companions quickly grasped the essence of stir-fried Rice Noodles.

A large basin of stir-fried Rice Noodles was cooked to perfection, both in color and taste.

Nguyen Thi Linh and the others gave most of the stir-fried noodles to Li Qinghe, only eating a small bowl themselves.

They knew that Li Qinghe had put a lot of effort into teaching them how to cook last night, so they wanted him to eat more.

After a breakfast that tasted like home, everyone had to go their separate ways to school.

Since Chau Pham Thuy Anh had ridden back with Li Qinghe yesterday, Li Qinghe continued to drive her to school today.

Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh, meanwhile, rode their scooters to school, beaming. Li Qinghe's return had made their lives much more comfortable.

"Brother, let's go quickly. We only have morning classes today, so I can spend the afternoon with you."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh was very excited sitting in the passenger seat.

This afternoon, Li Qinghe would belong to her alone.

"Are you going to stir-fry noodles this afternoon? Can you finish it all by yourself?"

Li Qinghe teased her with a smile.

"I don't care! I just love stir-fried noodles. Even if I can't finish it, I'll force it down."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh declared fiercely, completely disregarding whether her stomach could handle so much food.

"Alright then, if you can't eat anymore this afternoon, just tell me. Don't blame me if you overeat."

Li Qinghe started the car and drove Chau Pham Thuy Anh to Hanoi National University of Education.

Halfway there, Li Qinghe saw a familiar figure ahead.

Looking closely, it was Doan Thi Xuan, the one who had hitched a ride yesterday.

At this moment, she was sitting on the back seat of a man's motorcycle, whispering something.

The man was riding the motorcycle while stroking Doan Thi Xuan's fair legs.

"Brother, that's my classmate, the one who hitched a ride yesterday."

Chau Pham Thuy Anh also saw Doan Thi Xuan ahead and reminded him.

"I saw her a while ago. Let's pass them..."

Li Qinghe responded calmly, pressing the accelerator and overtaking the motorcycle carrying Doan Thi Xuan.

Li Qinghe saw Doan Thi Xuan leaning close to the man's ear, whispering something, in the rearview mirror.

In a flash, the motorcycle was left far behind by Li Qinghe.

After dropping Chau Pham Thuy Anh off at school, Li Qinghe sat in the classroom and accompanied her for one class.

Perhaps it had been a long time since they had seen Li Qinghe, and upon seeing him again, the female classmates in Chau Pham Thuy Anh's class were all very enthusiastic towards Li Qinghe.

They couldn't bring themselves to ignore Li Qinghe.

Look at Chau Pham Thuy Anh last semester, then look at Chau Pham Thuy Anh this semester.

They say a good boyfriend can change a person's life.

Last semester's Chau Pham Thuy Anh, though still fashionable and beautiful,

still had a very significant difference compared to this semester's Chau Pham Thuy Anh.

Because as time went on, Chau Pham Thuy Anh accumulated more and more luxury goods and exquisite daily necessities.

She rented a high-end apartment near the school and became increasingly generous with her spending.

She transformed from an ordinary pretty girl into a wealthy young lady with the aura of a socialite.

Many people knew that this was all due to the boyfriend she found and the changes he brought.

So, upon seeing Li Qinghe, who brought about Chau Pham Thuy Anh's transformation, the girls naturally approached, hoping to leave a deep impression on Li Qinghe.

However, they also knew the saying that 'haste makes waste,' so they behaved relatively reservedly in front of Li Qinghe.

In just one class break, Li Qinghe added at least a dozen Instagram accounts.

Chau Pham Thuy Anh didn't stop him; she just smiled as she watched Li Qinghe interact with her female classmates.

She had already mentally prepared herself for Li Qinghe's romantic nature.

Some things are better managed by guiding rather than blocking; simply forbidding or crying won't solve the problem.

Moreover, given Li Qinghe's circumstances, not changing partners every day was already being very considerate to everyone.

And after his experiences in Singapore, Li Qinghe felt that these university students in Vietnam were still relatively innocent.

So many people only saw Chau Pham Thuy Anh's good fortune, but they didn't know the hardships she had endured, which was a very tough process.

Li Qinghe accepted everyone's account requests without discrimination.

Unfortunately, in Li Qinghe's eyes, this group of sophomore girls didn't even have a single 'white strip' (a term for attractive women).

Indeed, no matter which country you go to, it's always 'first come, first served.'

Those who act first eat the meat; those who act later wash the pot.

But for undemanding guys, as long as there's meat to eat, even a sophomore's 'green strip' (a term for less attractive women) is delicious.

However, this principle did not apply to Li Qinghe.

Because his current stage had moved beyond solving basic needs; he was beginning, and it was also necessary, to enter a quality life.

Main meals satisfy hunger, fast food satisfies cravings.

It was a rare visit for Li Qinghe, so he directly ordered a cup of milk tea for everyone in Chau Pham Thuy Anh's class, both male and female.

With the arrival of the takeout, he immediately became the most popular man in the class.

After ordering milk tea for everyone, Li Qinghe left Chau Pham Thuy Anh's classroom.

But he didn't go far; he just went downstairs and sat in a secluded corner outside the teaching building.

He looked like he was scrolling on his phone, and in fact, he really was scrolling on his phone.

Actually, most of Li Qinghe's attention was on the future smart camera.

He felt that Doan Thi Xuan had a big problem.

So he pretended to leave the classroom first, then used the future smart camera to monitor Doan Thi Xuan's every move.

He believed that as soon as he left, Doan Thi Xuan would quickly make her move.

As expected...
