Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Heading to France!
Finally, after an eleven-hour flight, the group arrived at their destination. The hotel’s car was already waiting for them. Lin Feng got in and chatted with the driver in fluent French. The driver even gave them roses as a warm welco.
Outside, the night was enchanting. It was now two in the morning, and the streets were almost empty, illuminated only by the dazzling neon lights. Not far away, the glittering Eiffel Tower could be seen.
Upon reaching the hotel, the staff handed a room key to Xiao Wen, who was on the sa floor as Lin Feng. Using fluent French, Lin Feng asked the staff to prepare so food and send it to his and Xiao Wen’s rooms. Zhang Yuxi had originally booked a double room, but after Lin Feng arrived, he changed it to a family suite.
Lin Feng led the drowsy, exhausted children to their room. Zhang Yuxi was awake, and the couple, along with Xiao Wen, got the children settled in.
Lin Feng whispered to Zhang Yuxi, "Honey, I’ll take Xiao Wen to his room first."
"Okay!"
After finding Xiao Wen’s room, Lin Feng said, "The staff will be here with your al soon. Call
if you have any problems."
Xiao Wen nodded. "Okay, Uncle. You should get back, too."
Just as they were speaking, a staff mber arrived with a al cart.
Lin Feng asked, "Has room 8019 been served yet?"
The staff mber replied, "Not yet."
"Then don’t bother. I’ll eat here as well."
After the two of them had a simple al, Lin Feng returned to his suite. The sight of Zhang Yuxi approaching as he opened the door startled him.
"Honey, what took you so long?"
"I ended up having a al in Xiao Wen’s room."
「The next morning.」
The children woke up to find they had already arrived at their destination. They had been too groggy the night before to rember much. All they recalled was drowsily following Lin Feng into a car; the rest was a blur.
Rubbing his eyes, San Bao was surprised and delighted to see Si Bao and the others. "You guys are here?"
"Yeah!"
After a full night’s sleep, the children’s spirits had revived, and they were all full of life again.
Lin Feng woke up punctually, as befitted a man with a System. Miao Lang and Max were in another room. Lin Feng texted Xiao Wen, telling him he was going to buy so food and would bring it back for him. He told him to stay in the room and not to go out. After all, they were in France, where everyone spoke French.
Thankfully, Zhang Yuxi had learned so French from Lin Feng over the years, so, like the children, she could manage simple communication. She could understand the gist of what people were saying. Otherwise, the trip would have been anything but relaxing.
Lin Feng went to a bank outside the hotel to exchange money, then took his wife and children out for breakfast.
Mmm, perfect timing! Since they didn’t normally eat breakfast, this was the perfect ti for them to have their first al of the day. The nearby restaurant was very considerate, providing nus with pictures for foreign tourists. Mmm, this was all food the children liked.
After breakfast, they brought so food back for Xiao Wen and began to plan the day’s itinerary. San Bao was nearly ready for his performance, so he could relax and have so fun beforehand. Lin Feng’s plan was to visit the Louvre during the day and take a boat ride back.
And so, they got ready to set out.
The weather here was not much different from that in Yangcheng. The thought of visiting the world’s foremost museum excited everyone.
It wasn’t until they arrived that they realized how lucky they were. The museum had a vast collection. Its six wings were only fully open on Mondays and Wednesdays. On the other four days, they opened on a rotating basis, and on Sundays, only half the museum was open. Furthermore, the items currently on display represented only 1/3,990 of the total collection.
And as luck would have it, today was Wednesday.
Xiao Wen pointed to a spot and said, "I know this place. A movie was shot right here, sothing about a Mary being underneath."
Lin Feng walked over. "I know. This is a filming location from ’The Code.’"
I rember seeing young part-tirs at other museums. I wonder if there are any here. Lin Feng didn’t see anyone around. He turned and said, "Xiao Wen, Yu Xi, keep a close eye on the kids. I’m going to buy tickets!"
It was crowded today. After buying the tickets, Lin Feng ca back and let out a long sigh of relief. He frowned as he looked at the long line of people at the Pyramid entrance.
At that mont, a young man approached them. "Hey, need so help?" he asked in English.
Lin Feng replied in fluent French, "What is it?"
The young man probably hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s French to be so flawless, and his deanor imdiately beca more professional. "Do you need so help? I can be your guide! Here’s my ID! But you’ll need to buy
a ticket and also pay for my services."
Lin Feng didn’t want to seem too easygoing, so he asked, "How much?"
The price didn’t really matter to Lin Feng. Without a point of comparison, he had no way of knowing if the guy was quoting an exorbitant price.
Lin Feng’s aura was palpable. The young man pursed his lips and stated a price. Seeing that Lin Feng remained silent, he lowered it. "It can’t get any lower! This price is already very low!"
Lin Feng began to doubt the young man’s professionalism, but the youth quickly pulled a student ID from his pocket. He claid to be a history student who knew a lot.
The most important thing is that he can speak our language.
The young man assured them it wasn’t a problem; he studied languages as well as history. When he spoke their language, his accent was unnatural, but he was understandable.
Lin Feng ultimately agreed. If I’m not satisfied, we can always co back another day and hire a professional. He gave the young man money to go line up and buy his own ticket.
"Co on, follow !"
The youth led them through a convoluted route. Zhang Yuxi grew a little worried. Have we run into a scamr?
Lin Feng was also a bit apprehensive but outwardly soothed his wife. "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Lin Feng’s family and Xiao Wen followed the young man to the Porte des Lions entrance, where only a few people were waiting in line.
The young man explained, "You tourists generally don’t know about this entrance! It’s very hard to find."
After their tickets were checked, they entered the Louvre.
The young man confidently said, "Let’s go this way!" As he guided them forward, he explained, "We have six main exhibition centers: the Art Museum, the Treasure Hall, the Painting Gallery, and the Sculpture Gallery, among others. The Painting Gallery has the most exhibits and covers the largest area. You could spend a whole day, or even two, and still not be able to appreciate all the rare treasures. However, if you want to see the main attractions all at once, I can take you to the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa, and the like."
Upon arrival, Lin Feng’s family and Xiao Wen were all awe-struck by the magnificent halls.
"That’s not necessary," Lin Feng said, responding to the guide’s earlier offer. "We can go at a normal pace."
The youth said with a smile, "No problem!" He noticed the four curious children and the gossipy look in their eyes. They probably want to ask if they’re quadruplets. But he didn’t ntion it.
His professional knowledge was indeed impressive. Occasionally, when he and Lin Feng discussed history, the guide would be astonished. "I can’t believe you know that! That’s a pretty obscure piece of trivia."
Lin Feng simply smiled. "I enjoy reading."
Xing Yun said in French, "My daddy is super, super aweso! He knows everything!"
This was the first ti the youth had heard the children speak French. "Indeed, your dad is impressive! And your French is very good. Are you guys, um, quadruplets?"
Xing Yun nodded. "Of course! Just look at how similar we are!"
The youth’s mouth hung open for a few seconds before he swallowed his surprise.
"You’re right. You do look very much alike!"
