Chapter 63: Wake Up, Sexual Orientation!

Chapter 63: Wake Up, Sexual Orientation!

Although every season has its share of drama, it's rare for the conflict to start so early.

After all, everyone wants to make a good first impression and avoid being left out during the first night's selection.

The host was visibly nervous, but the fans were outright excited,

"It’s a budget trip, didn’t I tell you? Still complaining about the lack of money?! If you want luxury, don’t join a reality show!"

"Brother Li is right; we’re all broke. We can’t afford a 500-euro-a-night hotel. Go ahead if you can, no one will stop you!"

"Is Lu Yuanhang here just to get trolled? Who came up with such a stupid character?!"

"Should we discuss this further? After all, there are discounts for groups, and going out alone isn’t cost-effective." The host tried to ease the tension.

Lu Yuanhang also realized something and cleared his throat, "Criticism is fine, and it’s a budget trip, but I’m just not used to it yet."

Having grown up in luxury, the sudden change felt like being thrown into a survival show, and he naturally had complaints.

It was clear that Lu Siqi thought the same way, pursing his lips and inwardly dismissing the 500 euros,

But he had the sense not to say it out loud.

"Let’s entrust it to one person; I have no problem with that," Lu Yuanhang added, trying to appear rational.

"That’s great," the host said, relieved, "Everyone working together to overcome difficulties..."

"If you keep dawdling, we’ll miss the last metro," Jian Li interrupted.

Though he had come from another world, it was a parallel one with similar development and design.

Before being blown up, he had been on a mission in Paris.

This city of romance wasn’t as safe as it seemed, with frequent explosions, thefts, robberies, and protests...

What was that mission again?

Jian Li recalled,

Oh right,

It was to take down a terrorist who had hijacked a bus.

"The travel funds are in this envelope. Who should keep them?" the host waved the envelope.

Lu Yuanhang quickly answered, "My brother Siqi speaks French well; let him handle it."

The host nodded and turned to the other guests, "Any objections?"

Yuan Feng raised his hand, "Yes."

"There are plenty of people who speak French. Why should Lu Siqi be in charge? He and his brother have no idea what real life is like. They might spend all our money!"

Lu Yuanhang sneered, "Is boasting fun? Who can speak French better than my brother?!"

"I may not be much, but I can speak a bit," Zhou Nan stepped forward, a staff member of the intelligence agency proficient in seven languages, "I know a little."

"Hmph," Lu Yuanhang didn’t believe it, "Talk is cheap."

Zhou Nan then walked over to a blonde woman and spoke fluent French.

A few minutes later, he returned, "Did you hear that? No communication barriers."

Lu Yuanhang was a bit stunned and turned to Lu Siqi, "Brother Siqi, how was it?"

Lu Siqi’s face darkened, "Not bad."

There were a few obscure dialects he didn’t understand, indicating that Zhou Nan’s French was indeed good.

Jian Li rolled his eyes impatiently, snatched the envelope, and handed it to Zhou Nan, "Are you coming or not? Didn’t you hear? The foreigner said it’s the last metro. If we miss it, we’ll have to take a taxi."

"How much would that cost with all of us?!"

"Anyone who keeps whining, don’t blame me if I leave you behind!"

He grabbed his suitcase and headed toward the metro entrance.

The Vendetta Squad followed immediately.

Lu Yuanhang stood there, pouting, "Pretending like you understood! Just act cool!"

A translator nearby whispered, "Brother Li is right; it’s the last metro. We need to catch up."

Lu Yuanhang glared at him, "Do I need your input?!"

After all the commotion, even the locals could tell who was at odds and who held more power and influence.

Nan Nan picked up her suitcase and hurried after, "Zhou Nan? Brother Nan? We have the same name! Your French is really impressive. I’ve studied here for years and still can’t match you."

"You study here?" Zhou Nan was surprised, "Since when? I worked here too!"

"Since 2008."

"Coincidentally, me too!"

"We’re around the same age; it’s really a coincidence!"

"......"

Yuan Feng sensed something was off and stared at Shi Huayi for a long time, "Brother Yi, are you okay?"

Shi Huayi snapped out of it, "Huh? I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Yuan Feng’s gaze dropped, "Use a bit more force, and the suitcase handle will break!"

"Really?!" Shi Huayi belatedly looked down and noticed the crack on the handle, "Damn, it's brand new!"

"There's something wrong! Absolutely something wrong!"

"Is this jealousy? Can't stand seeing Zhou Nan and Nan Nan together?!"

"Awaken, sexual orientation!"

"So many couples, can't keep up with all of them!"

Zhou Nan took out euros to buy a subway ticket and managed to get the last one.

While distributing the tickets, he explained,

"Since I'm more familiar with Paris's geography, I took the liberty of choosing our accommodation for tonight,"

"A single apartment, clean and tidy, only forty euros per night."

Nan Nan immediately chimed in excitedly, "I know this place,"

"It's similar to youth hostels in our country, where everyone stays together and it's very lively."

"What do you mean?! Not individual rooms?!" Lu Yuanhang immediately questioned, "Only forty euros, do we really need to be this frugal?"

No one responded to him.

Jian Li and Huo Xiao were the first to take their subway tickets and prepare for security check.

The other guests did the same.

Only Lu Yuanhang and Lu Siqi remained standing in place.

Zhou Nan walked over, "How about I give you two the money back?"

Lu Yuanhang was about to ask how the forty euros already spent would be handled when he heard a nonchalant remark,

"I've heard he's difficult, but didn't expect him to be this bad."

Lu Yuanhang tiptoed to look over, "Who are you talking about?!"

Nan Nan turned around, her lips curling, "Guess who?!"

She wasn’t from the entertainment industry and had no such qualms. Last season, she would lash out without hesitation, labeling a female star as a "green tea" and bullying non-celebrity guests.

With Lu Yuanhang, Nan Nan wasn't holding back either.

After all, she had long found him annoying.

The other guests paid no attention to what was happening behind them and went through security one by one.

Li Zimu suddenly picked up her suitcase and walked to Yuan Feng, lifting it a few times with effort.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Feng was taken aback.

The long-haired lolita girl looked serious, "Actually, I'm not weak! I have strong arm strength!"

It's just that the agency insisted on setting up a pure and innocent girl image,

which she damn well didn't like!

"What's going on?! Is this a grudge from the plane, still remembering after a few hours?!"

"Ha ha ha, quite a grudge holder!"

"You know, carrying a suitcase in a long dress has its own charm!"
