Chapter 185

Viviana rubbed her forehead with one hand, her voice tinged with weariness. "Didn't you notice? There are a lot of cars parked outside. Those are paparazzi who followed me here."

"I really didn't notice."

Han Fei shrugged and said truthfully, "There's a lot of traffic outside, I really didn't bother to distinguish which ones were paparazzi."

"If there really isn't one, that would be good."

Viviana couldn't help but sigh, "These people often appear and disappear unexpectedly, and they like to ask some really tricky questions, which really annoys me."

"This time too, they somehow found out where I was and blocked the door, preventing me from leaving normally."

After saying that, she glanced at Han Fei and softened her tone. "You don't seem very surprised, which is rather unexpected for me."

"Uh, you're overthinking it."

Han Fei scratched his head. "I was just a little confused as to why the famous Candle Knight would be sneaking around here. It seemed very strange, so I came to check it out."

"Now that you know the reason, do you still find it strange?"

Viviana didn't doubt why Han Fei knew her; she was a highly popular competitive knight with a large fan base in Kazimierz, and the promotion and hype surrounding her had never stopped.

It can be said that her image has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds through various forms of publicity.

"How could that be? Your reasoning is perfectly valid," Han Fei said. "I understand."

Upon hearing this, Viviana simply smiled and said softly, "Anyway, thank you. If you had shouted just now, I would definitely have been harassed by paparazzi again."

"It's nothing."

Han Fei pushed up his sunglasses. "What haven't I seen? There's no need to make such a fuss."

Upon hearing this, Viviana simply smiled and didn't respond, saying, "Don't I look a little strange right now?"

"Well enough."

Han Fei shrugged. "Like I said, once it's explained clearly, that's enough."

Viviana extended her hand to Han Fei and said, "Anyway, thank you very much. I still don't know your name?"

Han Fei extended his hand and shook hands briefly with Viviana, the touch lasting only a moment. "I'm Han Fei, an ordinary tourist."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Han Fei," Viviana said. "Well then, have a wonderful time in Kazimierz."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Han Fei smiled and nodded, then asked, "So what are you planning to do next?"

"As for me, I'm afraid I'll have to wait here for a while."

Viviana looked towards the exit. "I'll wait for my team to come and meet me. Otherwise, I'll have to stay hidden here, because I really don't want to face those relentless questions."

"Looks like you've had a tough time too."

Han Fei asked, "Are these kinds of situations common on a regular basis?"

"It was alright before."

Viviana tilted her head. "This has happened before, but it's never been this troublesome."

"But as the Knight's Championship progressed, the paparazzi became increasingly frenzied."

"After all, you're a very popular knight," Han Fei said. "A lot of people like you. With so many fans, paparazzi are naturally eager to pry into your private life. After all, high popularity means high sales, and more money."

"Yeah?"

Viviana blinked, then suddenly said, "But you don't seem to act that way."

"Ha?"

Han Fei was somewhat surprised, wondering why he had been dragged into this.

Viviana said, "You see, you didn't ask for a photo with me or an autograph."

As she spoke, she carefully examined Han Fei with her beautiful eyes, and then said, "Actually, from the beginning, I was prepared."

"Uh, is it too late to do it now?"

Han Fei was speechless; he had truly forgotten about that.

Because of his past experiences, he was destined not to be a fan of Viviana, and naturally he wouldn't think of taking photos or asking for autographs.

Just kidding.

Viviana chuckled and explained, "I was just saying, don't take it seriously."

Even so, Han Fei still explained, "I've never actually idolized anyone. I'm just enjoying watching the Knight's Championship; I'm not here for any particular Cavalier."

"I see."

Viviana nodded slightly and said softly, "If all the viewers were like you, then those businessmen in the Commercial Union would probably go crazy. After all, only fans are willing to spend a lot of money to support their favorite idols."

I understand what you mean.

Han Fei chuckled lightly. "The fan circle, you know what I mean."

Finally, he glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, I'll be going now."

He hadn't forgotten that Texas and Theresa were still waiting for him.

"Okay, please take care."

Viviana responded and was about to watch Han Fei leave.

Han Fei intended to leave directly, but as soon as he lifted his foot, a rather daring idea popped into his mind.

Then he turned to Viviana and said, "If I may ask, Miss Viviana, are you busy today?"

"Me? I've finished what I needed to do for today," Viviana said softly. "Theoretically, I don't have anything to do for the rest of the day."

"Since that's the case, would you mind being my tour guide for once?" Han Fei said.

"Huh?"

Viviana was stunned; clearly, she hadn't expected this turn of events.

Surprised, her gaze towards Han Fei changed, now filled with bewilderment and astonishment.

She was surprised by Han Fei's boldness; they had only known each other for a short time, yet he dared to make such a direct invitation to her.

Surprised as she was, Viviana didn't lose her mind. She immediately shook her head and softly refused, "Please forgive me for refusing, but if I get too close to you and we're discovered, it won't do either of us any good."

Han Fei naturally understood what she meant. There's a difference between men and women. If a popular knight like Viviana were simply walking down the streets of Kazimierz with him, it could easily cause a scandal if they were discovered.

It's complicated to explain, and it's not necessarily effective.

So Han Fei explained, "You misunderstood. I'm not the only tour guide; I also have two female friends with me. So, theoretically, there shouldn't be any bad news."

He didn't really expect it to work out; he was just taking a chance, no matter what.

Having arrived in Kazimierz and met Viviana, it wouldn't be right to just chat for a few minutes and then say goodbye.

If we part ways like this, who knows when we'll see each other again?

However, it wasn't to the point of being relentless; it was merely an attempt based on my past experience as a Doctor.

Volume 1: Chapter 213 onwards

Han Fei did not urge her; he patiently waited for Viviana's reply.

Putting aside the Doctor's relationship with him, there is another crucial factor that led him to suddenly strike up a conversation with Viviana.

Viviana and Russell have a good relationship.

This is currently Han Fei's only chance to connect with Russell.

Who knows, it might just earn Russell's endorsement?

Although the probability is slim.

After all, Russell really has no reason to accept this now.

But whether there are any opportunities or not, we should still try our luck.

If all else fails, we can take Wild Mane and Sona and run away to the Babel.

Viviana's eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Han Fei.

It's no exaggeration to say that this was the first time Viviana had ever encountered such a situation.

She wasn't unfamiliar with tourists; as a popular competitive knight, she encountered being recognized by tourists from foreign countries far too often.

But most tourists just take a photo or ask for an autograph, and that's it.

Only the bolder ones would ask someone out for a meal or something.

As for directly appointing her as a tour guide, this is truly a first.

Surprised as she was, Viviana shook her head and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."

That's a real shame.

As Han Fei said this, he didn't feel particularly disappointed.

Anyway, it's all about taking the plunge, whether there's a chance or not; if there's no chance, that's to be expected.

Seeing this, Viviana assumed he didn't know where to go, so she said softly, "If you don't know where to go, I can recommend some interesting places."

"These are all places I've personally visited, where you can experience the purest Kazimierz knight culture."

"If you'd like to experience local delicacies, I also know some great little shops that are very affordable and taste delicious."

Han Fei chuckled and agreed, saying, "Sure, I haven't really experienced the culture of Kazimierz yet."

He wouldn't throw a tantrum just because someone rejected him—that would not only be rude, but also a sign of weakness. He wasn't that easily angered.

So Viviana gave Han Fei a very detailed introduction to the places suitable for travel.

Viviana certainly has a lot of experience in this regard, for the simple reason that she is not a native of Kazimierz, but happened to have lived there for a long time.

When it comes to tourism, locals sometimes don't actually recommend the best destinations.

Many places are attractive to outsiders, but are quite ordinary to locals.

After explaining the unique features of each place in detail, Viviana thoughtfully added, "These places are not hard to find. If you really can't find them, just ask any passerby, and they can all give you directions."

"Good."

Han Fei nodded and readily agreed, "Then, I won't bother you any longer."

Take care.

Viviana said softly, "Have fun with your friends."

"OK."

Han Fei waved his hand and left the underground parking garage.

Han Fei's attention was focused on the security of the Commercial Union, so he naturally didn't notice the situation on the roadside.

It was only after Viviana's reminder that he noticed there were indeed some dogs acting suspiciously by the roadside.

These guys are really easy to spot; they're paparazzi at first glance.

That's probably why the Commercial Union's security didn't try to expel them.

After all, these paparazzi might just be employees of some Commercial Union.

Han Fei ignored the paparazzi and went straight back to the coffee shop to meet up with the girls.

At that moment, Texas and Theresa were resting in the coffee shop. When Han Fei returned, they stood up and said, "You're back."

"Um."

Han Fei responded, "Let's go first, we'll talk on the way."

The two had no objections, and after Han Fei paid the bill, they left the coffee shop together.

After walking some distance and finding few pedestrians nearby, Texas asked with concern, "Are you alright? You seem to have been delayed quite a bit."

"It's nothing much, I just met someone on the way and chatted with her for a bit," Han Fei explained casually.

"You have a lot of acquaintances."

Theresa remarked with a touch of wistfulness, "It feels like I'm running into old acquaintances of yours everywhere."

Han Fei raised an eyebrow, didn't deny it, and said, "It seems that's really true."

However, this is normal. The operators of the Congee are so widely distributed, all over the country, and he is not a Potato Mine, so it is not surprising that we meet.
