You Are More Suguoi

"Are we driving to the airport or taking a cab?" Lu Yun asked.

"We're not driving today. I called a few ride-hailing cars and they've already entered the neighborhood. They should be at the gate in about two minutes. Let's go."

"Alright, make sure everyone has all their belongings. Don't forget anything, or it'll be a hassle," Meng Wenzhou reminded them.

"Got everything."

"Good, let's head out!"

The eleven of them, each dragging a suitcase, walked out of the villa and soon arrived at the main gate.

Just as they reached the roadside, four ride-hailing cars drove over from a short distance away.

Eleven people didn't actually need that many cars, but Su Yang called four considering they had quite a bit of luggage.

After the cars pulled up to the entrance of Villa No. 6 and turned around one by one, everyone got in.

At 7:40, the four cars sped toward Haicheng International Airport.

Half an hour later, at 8:10, they arrived at Terminal 3.

The procedures for international flights were slightly different from domestic ones. After completing all the necessary steps, they went to the business class lounge to wait.

Their luck wasn't great this time; the flight was delayed, and they had to wait an extra forty minutes.

However, it was the perfect time to grab some breakfast. Not long after they finished eating, the announcement for boarding echoed through the speakers.

"Let's go, brothers and sisters. Time to board."

"Let's go." Everyone got up in high spirits and headed toward the boarding gate.

Soon, Su Yang and the others smoothly boarded the flight to Dongjin. Because Su Yang had bought two different types of tickets, they couldn't all sit together.

But no one minded. Under the flight attendants' guidance, they quickly found their seats and settled in.

Su Yang, Meng Wenzhou, Pan Ning, Jiang Xiaotang, and Lu Yun sat in first class, while the others were in business class.

The flight attendants on today's flight were as beautiful as ever, though the chief purser wasn't quite as stunning as the one they had met on their previous flight from Modu to Haicheng. She was a bit older, but her service was excellent and highly professional.

She went around to each first-class passenger, carefully explaining the basics of flying to Dongjin. For those traveling abroad for the first time, she earnestly answered any questions they had.

Soon, at 9:55 AM, the plane finally taxied onto the runway and accelerated into the air.

It wasn't long before they soared into the clouds, heading toward the Island Nation.

Once the flight leveled out, the flight attendants began distributing arrival cards, which they would need upon landing at the Dongjin airport.

Meng Wenzhou, Pan Ning, and a few others had been abroad many times and were very familiar with the process, quickly filling out their forms.

Su Yang and Lu Yun, however, were traveling internationally for the first time and weren't quite sure about some of the details.

Meng Wenzhou and Pan Ning respectively explained to them how to fill out the forms.

It wasn't complicated anyway, and they finished filling them out shortly.

After that, everyone leaned back in their seats to rest.

The direct flight from Haicheng to Dongjin wasn't a long one, taking only about three and a half hours.

After a short nap, the plane began its gradual descent.

Su Yang opened his window shade and looked out. Far below was an endless expanse of urban scenery. They had arrived in Dongjin.

At 2:30 PM Island Nation time, the plane landed safely at Chengtian International Airport.

After disembarking, they followed the signs and soon arrived at the Foreigners lane. They lined up to present their visas and related documents, then scanned their fingerprints at a machine, and finally went to the manual counters to submit the arrival cards they had filled out on the plane along with their passports.

With that done, they officially entered the country and went to claim their luggage. After getting their bags, there was just one final step: going to the electronic customs declaration kiosks to make their customs declarations.

At this point, all the entry procedures were fully completed.

Meng Wenzhou was quite reliable, though. Since they were now in the Island Nation, things were a bit different.

Although some domestic SIM cards could be used in the Island Nation, they required international roaming to be activated in advance, and the internet speeds were often unstable. So, he took the group to a telecom counter in the airport to buy and swap in local SIM cards.

After finishing up, the eleven of them dragged their suitcases out of the airport.

The Aman Dongjin Hotel that Su Yang had booked yesterday provided an airport pickup service. As soon as he walked out, he spotted an Island Nation woman holding a pickup sign not far ahead.

People from the Island Nation were quite easy to distinguish, especially their women, who really liked wearing dresses.

The girl who came to pick them up was wearing a navy blue dress. She was about 1.6 meters tall, slightly chubby, with very fair skin, a round face, and short, dark brown, slightly curly hair.

She had the standard look of an Island Nation girl. Looking at her from a distance, Su Yang's mind involuntarily drifted to the female leads of the Island Nation movies he had studied in the past.

Damn, what am I thinking? Su Yang chuckled and took the lead, walking toward her.

"Hello, beauty." He spoke in English.

When the girl saw Su Yang, she froze for a second, then immediately smiled and said in somewhat heavily accented Chinese, "Hello, excuse me... are you Mr. Su Yang?"

Su Yang nodded, smiled, and replied in the Island language, "That's me. You don't need to speak Chinese with me; I can speak the Island language."

"Oh? Honto ni (Really)?" the girl asked in surprise.

Su Yang smiled, "Really."

"Sugoi!!" The girl's eyes widened as she gave a thumbs-up.

"Haha, you're more sugoi."

Hearing this, the girl burst into laughter. When she smiled, two little canine teeth showed, which was actually quite cute.

"Su-san, you don't have an accent at all. Have you lived here before?"

Su Yang shook his head. "No, I taught myself."

"Wow, super sugoi!"

"By the way, beauty, what's your name?"

"My name is Shoko Honma."

"Then I'll just call you Shoko."

As they were talking, the others hurried over from behind.

Seeing Su Yang chatting with the Island Nation girl, everyone finally realized that they were now in a foreign country. The language barrier was no small issue. Although most of them had decent English, not everyone in the Island Nation spoke it.

Originally, after learning they were coming to the Island Nation, they had planned to buy translators, but everyone had completely forgotten. While their phones could translate, it was often inaccurate.

Fortunately, many of the written characters in the Island Nation were basically the same as in China, with very similar meanings, so they could still understand signs and street names.

Listening to Su Yang effortlessly communicate with the Island Nation girl in fluent Island language, everyone was stunned.

They only knew Su Yang spoke English; they had no idea he knew the Island language, let alone that he could speak it so fluently.

"Holy crap, Brother Yang is constantly refreshing my understanding of him. He even knows the Island language."

"He sang an Island Nation song before, but I thought he just knew how to sing it. I didn't expect this," Meng Wenzhou laughed.

"Brother Meng, do you know any?"

"Me? Yeah, I do."

"You do too?"

Meng Wenzhou nodded with a smirk. "I know Yamete, Soka, and stuff like that."

"Ya—damn, I know those too."

"Haha, knowing English is fine too. It's the international lingua franca, after all. Under normal circumstances, you can communicate just fine, unless the other person doesn't know it."

"But my English isn't that great either."

Meng Wenzhou rolled his eyes. "You gotta learn, Fatty. How can you not even know English?"

"I... you make it sound like everyone else knows it. I don't buy it." Liu Bo said, turning to look at the girls. "Beauties, how's your English?"

Su Qingci smiled. "I'm an English major."

"Get outta here. What about the rest of you?"

Meng Qianyu smiled. "I went to school abroad since I was little, Bro Fatty."

"You get outta here too."

Pan Ning said mildly, "I know a little, enough for normal conversation."

Tang Ziyun chimed in, "My English is passable, but if they speak too fast, I probably wouldn't understand."

"Damn? That's still pretty good."

"What about Mengli and Xiaotang?"

Zhuang Mengli and Jiang Xiaotang nodded with smiling faces. "Same as Sister Panpan, enough for normal conversation."

"Holy crap? What about Xiaolu and Lingxi?"

Lu Yun shook her head with a smile. "My English isn't very good."

Ren Lingxi said, "I'm only half-baked at it too."

"See, I told you. I couldn't be the only one who doesn't know it. Now I feel much more balanced."

"Even if they don't know much, they're definitely still better than you. Just stick to using your phone to translate." Meng Wenzhou patted Liu Bo on the shoulder and walked toward Su Yang.

"Old Su, what's the situation now?"

Su Yang turned his head and said, "Nothing much. I just chatted with her for a bit. We can get in the cars and head out. They've prepared two Alphards to take us to the hotel."

"Sounds good, let's go then."

"Everybody, get in."
