The Wen family's long-lost daughter has returned! It’s rumored that the real heiress ranked last in every school exam and even went around deceiving people, promoting feudal superstitions. Ev...
The travel guests arrived in Pounga at 6 p.m., when it was already getting dark.
The rooms arranged for everyone by the production team for this night were the same as before, a two-story villa with three bedrooms.
As soon as they arrived at their lodgings, the director told them that they would be staying in Pomga for the next seven days.
The city is very large, second only to the capital of Y country. In addition, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the city's roads are lined with palm trees. A gentle breeze carries the salty scent of the sea.
No wonder the director personally scouted the location.
The director gave everyone a break, and then announced early the next morning that everyone would take turns being the tour guide.
When Li Chaoran heard the news, her face instantly turned ugly.
In the previous episodes, the guests automatically elected the team leader. The director suddenly announced that they would take turns being the tour guides, which is not hard to guess because of what happened before.
Li Chaoran felt wronged, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
The guests naturally noticed it too, but no one paid any attention.
She was just there to be on a variety show, so she should have done her homework beforehand. If Li Chaoran wanted more screen time, she should have had the ability to do so. Instead, she ended up feeling wronged after something went wrong.
Si Suyao rolled her eyes again when the live stream camera couldn't see her.
Seeing that no one came to comfort her, Li Chaoran felt resentful and aggrieved.
The tour guide announced that Su Heng would be the tour guide for the first day, and left after paying the tour fee.
Li Chaoran sat alone on the sofa with red eyes, while the others went about their business, since they still needed to figure out how to get to the tourist attractions later.
Li Chaoran was crying her eyes out, and no one was comforting her. This was a good point of conflict for the production team, so both the main camera and the camera specifically for Li Chaoran were filming her.
The viewers in the live stream were furious.
"Seriously, are these guys blind? Can't they see their teammate is crying?!"
"If it weren't for the live broadcast cameras, I wouldn't believe that anyone would dare to bully our Sister Ran."
"I went on vacation to relax, but I ended up being bullied by the other members."
"It breaks my heart. What's wrong with the other five? My sister has been crying on the sofa for over ten minutes, and no one has come to comfort her. Even if there's discord within the group, there's no need to show it like this."
"Li Chaoran's fans, come on, don't you even look at what your idol has done along the way?"
"It's that serious, what's the UN saying?"
"Haha, don't be so abstract, but to be honest, I don't understand what Li Chaoran is so aggrieved about either."
"Li Zhaoran initially wanted to be the team leader, so she should have taken responsibility. Instead, she insisted on going to a fancy restaurant and made Ji Qionglian, who is almost sixty years old, walk for more than an hour in the freezing cold. In the end, she missed the only bus of the day. And to put it bluntly, if she had kept that money to fly, the whole trip would have been much better."
"Li Chaoran is so self-righteous. She claims to have painstakingly planned her trip, but all she did was follow the guides from bloggers on Xiaohongshu the day before, without using her own brain at all. Otherwise, how could she not know that there's only one bus a day?"
"If I had a teammate like that, I'd want to strangle her."
"I don't know why Li Chaoran is upset. Instead of crying here, she should hurry up and pack her things. Otherwise, she'll just drag the team down again."
"They've lost face and are feeling down, so why don't you just let them off the hook, hahaha."
The live stream wasn't just filled with Li Chaoran's fans; most netizens saw things very clearly.
So when everyone had finished tidying up, Si Suyao came out of the room and saw Li Chaoran still sitting there crying. She immediately exclaimed, "Why are you crying?"
Li Chaoran had almost cried all her tears when someone finally paid attention to her. She lowered her eyes slightly, and her thick, long eyelashes trembled like butterflies.
Si Suyao's concerned expression almost crumbled.
Then Li Chaoran wiped away her tears and said in Wen Li's soft voice, "I dragged everyone down with me before."
Si Suyao thought to herself, "Why didn't I apologize already?"
It's only a two-hour flight from Fairy Tale Town to Pompeii, you could apologize anywhere, but why wait until the tour guides have changed before you start apologizing?
Li Chaoran was unaware of what the other person was thinking. When she saw everyone come out, Si Suyao's tears immediately poured down like a burst dam. She cried out about her feelings along the way and apologized for holding the team back.
She had read the comments about herself on Weibo while she was crying. Apart from her own fans, she had inadvertently offended a lot of strangers.
Her agent messaged her, saying that if things continued like this, she wouldn't be eligible for the foreign film nominations at the beginning of the year.
Therefore, this apology must be made.
Li Zhaoran truly lives up to her reputation as a film queen; even though she was unwilling, she controlled her emotions perfectly.
If Wen Li hadn't been able to read faces, she might have actually believed it.
After Li Chaoran apologized, things finally calmed down for a few days. Wen Li visited different tourist attractions every day. Apart from Li Chaoran occasionally trying to dig a hole for herself, the other guests did not have any ill intentions towards her.
On the day Wenli was to be the tour guide, she prepared a travel itinerary well in advance.
Although she wasn't very fluent in English, Wen Li felt that as a tour guide, it wasn't appropriate to rely on Sheng Yu and Su Heng to translate for her all the time. So, she used her broken English or translation apps on her phone to get through the day perfectly.
Because the trip ended relatively early, everyone prepared to go out and explore properly after returning to their accommodation from the scenic area.
Wen Li still had the money left over from the fortune-telling a few days ago. Compared to the guests who were struggling to make ends meet in other seasons, they were much wealthier this season.
