Chapter 62: People like us can't afford to stay in a Five Star Hotel that costs five hundred euros a night.

From the moment the group gathered, the cameraman had already set up the live streaming camera.

Every move on the bus was under the scrutiny of fans.

Lu Siqi clearly understood this, so when Jian Li confronted him, he only changed his expression slightly and did not lash out directly, "Xiao Li, I just wanted to find an opportunity to explain some recent matters. Is it necessary to be so aggressive?"

Jian Li curled his lips, "No need to explain."

"Keeping your distance is the best explanation."

"You—!" Lu Siqi didn't expect him to be so arrogant and showed no restraint even in front of the camera, grinding his teeth in anger, "Fine, very well."

He walked to the other side and sat down angrily.

Let's see how long you can keep up this act!

Seeing the tension between the two, Lu Yuanhang felt secretly pleased but dared not show it. He was afraid that provoking Lu Siqi at this moment would backfire, so he cautiously took a seat at the front.

When the bus started, he passed a sandwich from his bag to the back, "Brother Siqi, you didn't have breakfast, right? I brought one for you."

Lu Siqi, with a sullen face, nodded and accepted it, "Thank you."

He had rushed back from another city early in the morning and had no time to eat.

Years of irregular work hours had led to frequent missed meals, causing him to develop a stomach ailment.

He couldn't go hungry for long.

Otherwise, the pain would be unbearable.

Lu Yuanhang remembered this, but Jian Li seemed to have forgotten?!

It was always him who used to bring breakfast!

As he brought the sandwich to his mouth, Lu Siqi suddenly paused,

How long has the 'Jian Li' I knew disappeared?!

The members of the Vendetta Squad on the bus were too lazy to watch the two bicker and mostly closed their eyes to catch up on sleep.

The host, holding a megaphone, tried to liven up the mood with some games to help the guests get to know each other better, but apart from the original residents responding enthusiastically, everyone else lay there like corpses, showing no reaction.

"It seems everyone was quite tired last night," the host tried to smooth things over, "Why don't I give a brief introduction of our itinerary after we arrive in Provence?"

"Like previous seasons, we will be traveling on a budget."

"We will use limited foreign currency to visit all the tourist spots."

"Of course, if the travel funds run out, the guests can earn additional money through various means."

"Every evening during dinner, there will be a mutual selection session where guests must state their reasons for choosing someone."

"If the mutual selection is successful, they can have a two-hour date the next day..."

The format of Sweet Journey is similar to other dating shows.

The only difference is that while other shows deliberately create dating opportunities, Sweet Journey requires the guests to earn them.

With limited travel funds, the guests are preoccupied with daily tasks and meals, leaving little room for romance.

It's already impressive that they haven't come to blows yet.

By the time the evening selection session rolls around,

Finding someone they like is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

At first, the fans were unhappy, flooding the comments with, "You call this sweet?! Are you kidding me?!"

But as the conflicts among the guests escalated, the tone of the comments suddenly shifted, "Damn! Who said love is sweeter than a good fight?! Keep it up, keep fighting!"

Thus, the sweet dating show took an unexpected turn and became popular.

So, the host, in his final remarks, repeatedly warned, "All guests must remain rational and follow the law abroad. Otherwise, being arrested and taken to the police station could involve the embassy!"

The audience laughed at this,

"Hahaha, what a joke about staying rational, host! Did you forget the name of the show is Sweet Journey?!"

"Suddenly reminded of last season, who pulled whose hair? It turned out to be a wig!"

"Hahahaha, I remember, I remember, someone had a receding hairline at such a young age! They flew out of the show overnight and became introverted for life!"

"Sweet Journey director, are you trying to ruin people's lives?!"

"Absolutely! You're ruining my heart! Watching the reruns every day feels so real!"

Soon, the guests arrived at the airport.

After waiting for half an hour in the VIP lounge, a famous actor finally arrived, politely apologizing, "Sorry everyone, I just finished an interview, so I'm late."

"It's Actor Huo!"

The original residents stood up excitedly, "Not late at all! It's great, I thought Actor Huo might be absent..."

We wouldn't have any couples to root for then!

The eyes of the older single woman, Nan Nan, shone like light bulbs, and she clapped with the energy of someone who had just been injected with adrenaline, "Welcome, welcome!"

"Does this sister have a thing for the movie emperor?!"

"No! I think her gaze is too similar to mine; it's like looking at a walking couple!"

"Did anyone notice? Lu Siqi's face looks like he swallowed a fly, how awful!"

"Haha, does he think that because Brother Xiao isn't here, he has a chance?! No wonder he insisted on sitting next to Brother Li!"

"How despicable!"

Just then, the announcement for the flight departure echoed overhead, and the guests tidied their luggage and boarded the plane.

Li Zimu stood hesitantly by her seat, holding her suitcase, looking troubled.

Yuan Feng, standing behind her, asked curiously, "You're blocking the way, how am I supposed to get through?"

"I can't lift the suitcase, could you help me..."

Before Li Zimu could finish her sentence, Yuan Feng snatched the suitcase and hoisted it up effortlessly.

Li Zimu smiled gratefully, about to thank him, but then heard his next words,

"So weak? You should practice your arm strength."

Li Zimu, "... Was I just mocked?!"

"Hahaha, damn, little brother Yuan Feng, you really are unteachable! Do you think all women are like Sister Hong, capable of splitting marble with their bare hands?!"

"She was showing weakness, and you took it as real weakness? Little brother, you're truly straight!"

Li Zimu sat down in her seat, bewildered, and then glanced up to see

Luo Xiaohong casually swinging her suitcase up with one hand.

On the other side, Lu Yuanhang spoke in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Qi, can you help me? I can't lift it."

Lu Siqi then took over, lifting the suitcase and stuffing it into the overhead compartment.

"..."

Damn, she was indeed mocked.

Li Zimu felt extremely frustrated.

As the plane took off, the live broadcast came to a temporary end.

A few hours later, the plane landed in Paris.

To get to Provence, they needed to take a train, but there were no more trains available, so they had to stay overnight.

The host, holding a megaphone, announced, "This season's travel fund is five hundred euros per person. It can be distributed now or entrusted to one person for unified expenses."

"Please make your decision quickly."

"Just five hundred?" Lu Yuanhang was the first to protest, "Not even enough for one night's stay!"

Before anyone else could speak, Jian Li extended his hand, "Let's distribute it."

"People like us, who are broke, can't afford a five-hundred-euro-a-night stay at the Five Star Hotel,"

"Others might not be the same."

"True to form, Brother Li, you start with a reverse roast!"
