Chapter 80: Back in School, Who Peeped at Me Showering?!

Chapter 80: Back in School, Who Peeped at Me Showering?!

The host’s face was a picture of distress, clearly still shaken.

He even raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye.

For a moment, a bizarre expression of grievance, panic, and fear intertwined on his face,

displayed before the camera.

The cameraman gave him a close-up.

Comments flooded the live stream chat,

“What happened during that nearly two-hour blank? Why does it seem like the host has been tortured to the point of despair?!”

“All we saw was a diving scene. Could it be that it was too hot, and Sister Hong and the others went for a swim?!”

“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but just now, a certain account on DSound released an internal message saying they intercepted the illegal transfer of over a billion assets abroad. Could this be related to them?!”

“It’s hard not to suspect that these people, who are all skilled yet participating in a dating show, have collectively disappeared, even from aerial shots......”

“Conspiracy theories? Don’t spread rumors without evidence, or you might get the cyber police on your tail!”

The director behind the monitor scratched his head vigorously, as if something were about to grow out of it,

“This generation of netizens must have read too many Sherlock Holmes stories?!”

“How can there be so many people with special identities?!”

“Didn’t we originally choose the lone warriors for their action skills? It’s just a coincidence......”

The more he spoke, the less confident he became. Suddenly, he remembered the blank file and felt a jolt in his heart. He turned to the assistant and asked, “Can we add some dishes for the Vendetta Squad members tonight?”

Assistant, “......They are on a budget trip.”

Director, “On my personal behalf......”

As a token of respect!

In the afternoon, they took a bus back to the city of Provence.

Zhou Nan found a rather unique restaurant where one could dine and drink coffee by the river, enjoying a very pleasant view.

The guests who did not participate in the date segment gathered here.

Before Lu Siqi even entered, he saw from afar that Huo Xiao and Jian Li were sitting together, their shoulders brushing against each other intentionally or unintentionally, looking very intimate.

What does this mean?

Just one date,

and they’re already getting cozy?

Is this deliberately to annoy me?!

Refusing to face reality, Lu Siqi, who could only escape into self-denial, quickened his steps and sat directly across from the two, speaking sarcastically,

“Was the date pretty successful?”

“The smile on your face is almost uncontrollable!”

Jian Li glanced at him sideways, “Why are you so good at guessing? It was quite successful. Brother Xiao and I were wearing swimming trunks, paddling a raft on the lake in the canyon,”

“Swinging and swinging, our feelings grew warmer!”

Lu Siqi’s face darkened, “Jian Li, my patience has its limits!”

“Ha, your patience is impressive, but why hasn’t it exploded yet?” Jian Li retracted his gaze and put the steak Huo Xiao had cut into his mouth.

“Exactly, I’m tired of hearing it. Can’t President Lu come up with something new?!”

“What’s this? Realizing the value of something only after losing it? When you treated Brother Li as a blood bank, what were you thinking?!”

“Not much, now seeing someone else’s successful date, you’re jumping like a dog in a hurry, how low is that?!”

“......”

Lu Siqi couldn’t bear to sit there any longer and changed seats.

Jian Li sneered coldly and continued his lunch. As he was about to finish the steak on his plate, a pre-cut portion was passed over,

“You think the date went well?”

“Huh?” Jian Li hesitated for a moment, “I just......”

to annoy that fool.

This last part he didn’t say under Huo Xiao’s intense gaze, turning his eyes away and speaking in a low voice, “It was okay.”

First time dating a guy, surprisingly, it wasn’t bad.

Maybe this is what being a face man is like?

Jian Li’s ears turned slightly red, spreading down his neck, a light pink flush appearing on his fair skin, making him look incredibly attractive.

Huo Xiao suddenly felt a bit parched and took a sip of coffee.

When is the movie going to start?

I can't wait any longer!

At the next table, Yuan Feng was about to stuff some food into his mouth when his phone suddenly vibrated. He jumped and raised his arm to reach behind him.

Luo Xiaohong, sitting opposite him, glanced at him expressionlessly. "Your phone is on the table."

"Ha, I forgot!" Yuan Feng chuckled awkwardly. "I thought it was still in my... pocket."

In the crack of his pants!

He nearly let it slip and quickly picked up his phone, walking aside to answer it. "What's up now?"

"Didn't I tell you it's two more days?"

"So what? The fridge is full, just cook for yourself."

"How old are you? Can't even take care of yourself?!"

"By the way, did you put the swimming trunks in my suitcase?"

"Are you crazy, putting a used one in there?!"

"Get lost, who wants to compare sizes with you?!"

"I'm filming right now, bye!"

Yuan Feng returned to his seat, looking annoyed. Luo Xiaohong smiled at him. "Nephew? Is he really your nephew? How's his physical condition? Better than yours?"

"Sister Hong," Yuan Feng became wary, "he's still a kid, don't mess around with him."

Luo Xiaohong pouted. "Oh, oh, oh, not really your nephew, and yet you're so protective?"

Yuan Feng didn't respond.

Indeed, he wasn't really his nephew.

His senior had died under mysterious circumstances, leaving the child without anyone to care for him.

He had helped attend a parent-teacher meeting once, and after that, the kid clung to him.

He thought living on campus in college would solve the problem, but the kid refused to move out.

Saying he would have nightmares without his brother?

How ridiculous,

When I'm not home,

Do you really think you can sleep hugging my clothes?!

Thinking about this, Yuan Feng cut his steak with great frustration. Raising a child these days is no easy task.

Especially a clingy one...

Wait, how did she know my nephew isn't really related to me?!

Yuan Feng looked up sharply, giving Luo Xiaohong a wary and probing glance.

Meanwhile, another pair of fellow disciples, seated face-to-face, were squinting at each other with intense gazes.

Suddenly, they spoke in unison,

"Want to go to the restroom?"

"Sure, let's go."

They stood up and walked toward the corner of the restaurant. The cameraman followed closely behind. Shi Huayi and Zhou Nan turned their heads simultaneously. "You're still filming during such private moments?"

Their overly serious expressions made the cameraman step back. "Ah, don't mind me,"

"It's just a professional habit,"

"I'll head back right away!"

Only after getting this response did the two relax and continue toward the public restroom.

After checking each stall to ensure no one was eavesdropping, they began to question each other.

"What mission did you receive?!"

Zhou Nan narrowed his eyes. "Why should I speak first? What about you? Did they give you more KPIs again?!"

"My mission must remain confidential," Shi Huayi said solemnly.

Zhou Nan curled his lip. "Ha, as if mine could be announced to the world."

Both fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Shi Huayi spoke again. "The leader promised me that after this job, I can transfer to the institute. Then we can openly acknowledge our relationship."

Hearing this, Zhou Nan's expression twisted. "What relationship? We're just alumni, right?"

"Is that all...?"

Shi Huayi suddenly became emotional and interrupted him, "Just alumni?"

"Back when we were in school, didn't you peek at me while I was showering?!"
