Chen Fan’s expression at this moment was quite disdainful.
He hadn't felt anything at first, but with the man’s arm slung around his shoulder now, his expression instantly soured.
Did this guy want to use him to pick up girls?
Yao Hui looked at Xu Daming before her, a hint of awkwardness on her face.
However, she was still well-mannered and didn't say anything overtly, merely offering a smile to ease the tension.
Over on the other side, Bai Zhannian also noticed.
Yao Hui had no interest whatsoever in this so-called Xu Daming. At this moment, the one she truly had her eye on was Chen Fan beside her.
Although he wasn't sure why.
But at this very moment, Chen Fan was her target.
“Chen Fan, this woman isn't here for anyone else, she's here for you!” Bai Zhannian whispered.
Chen Fan’s expression remained unchanged.
When Yao Hui first appeared and wanted to talk to him, Chen Fan had quickly realized it.
Such a beautiful woman was a focal point in any group, and it had always been that way before, with countless men vying for her attention.
Yet, Yao Hui had maintained a very rational distance, showing no inclination to get close to anyone. Instead, she chose to chat with Chen Fan at this moment, and even after being rejected, she didn't leave.
This was inherently strange.
Of course, Chen Fan was confident in his own abilities; he knew he possessed a unique charm.
But at this moment, he had to be extra cautious about this matter.
“Chen Fan, if you have time to chat later, you can find me. I believe we'll have a lot to talk about!”
“Miss Yao, I… I can chat with you about many things. If you like, I can tell you stories from all over the world.” He looked at Yao Hui before him with excitement, wishing he could pull the woman to a quiet spot right then and there to discuss life.
Seeing his excited expression, Yao Hui ignored him and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan made no move.
“Brother, you’re not joking, are you? Miss Yao, a beauty like her, would be interested in you?” Xu Daming turned to look at Chen Fan, unable to understand what was so special about this seemingly ordinary youth.
Compared to himself, this youth was nothing.
He knew he had experienced so much before, and he even had many loyal fans online.
The fact that Shalu could be his fan proved many things.
There might not be many such people globally, but such fans definitely existed.
Xu Daming had always considered himself impressive. If people knew his identity, they would flock to him, especially women like Yao Hui.
But who would have thought that Yao Hui this time would show no interest in talking to him at all, choosing instead Chen Fan before him? This was too strange.
Looking at the expression on the man’s face.
Chen Fan chuckled helplessly.
It would be too ridiculous if he took this matter seriously at this point.
“I don’t know what Miss Yao is thinking, and it’s certainly not my concern. I can only be myself,” Chen Fan said with a smile.
At this moment, Xu Daming glanced around. His previously amicable expression instantly changed.
“Chen Fan, is it? I’ll remember you. Now I’m warning you, maintain some distance from Miss Yao. I don’t know what you have that makes people pay attention to you, but to me, you are nothing. If I see you dare to go near Miss Yao again, I will make you pay!”
He threatened Chen Fan, as if his words held some significance.
Chen Fan looked at Xu Daming. The cause and effect of this matter had already been made clear.
He had no intention of getting involved with Yao Hui in any way.
Instead, this man before him was being overly aggressive in this matter.
Hearing his words now, Chen Fan showed no signs of nervousness.
He simply smiled and shook his head, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but nothing will happen between Miss Yao and me.”
“Hmph, it’s good that you’re sensible. To tell you the truth, I’ve seen plenty of people like you. If I wanted to, I could make you disappear from this world without a trace. After all, in the Libyan desert, who knows what might happen!”
After issuing his threat, Xu Daming turned and left, heading in the direction of Yao Hui.
Even though Yao Hui was unwilling to have any connection with this guy.
He was utterly unwilling to give up right now.
Chen Fan shook his head.
How boring.
It was just a woman, and this man was making such a fuss. These things were insignificant to him at this moment.
Bai Zhannian smiled and shook his head.
Shalu also looked utterly bewildered, “Is that Xu Daming? He’s completely different from the man I knew before. Was he just threatening Chen Fan?”
“It’s normal. Everyone on the internet wears a mask of pretense. How can you truly understand what kind of people they are? Many people have gone through experiences like yours!”
Chen Fan said with a smile, not finding the matter strange at all.
At this moment, Xu Daming’s attention was entirely focused on Yao Hui. This was actually quite good.
If Yao Hui truly had any issues, being targeted by a man like this would certainly bring her a lot of trouble.
The group continued to move forward with the caravan.
After walking for half a day, they decided to stop and rest. In front of them appeared a small lake, with some greenery around it.
The elder of the group was responsible for navigation and thus led them to this spot.
Chen Fan sat down, leaning against his pack.
Bai Zhannian whispered, “Do you suspect Yao Hui too?”
“Although there's no evidence, in our line of work, we must always maintain such a mindset!” Chen Fan didn't deny it. When the woman had approached him earlier, he had already found it strange.
If there were no other reasons, why would such a beautiful woman so easily choose to approach a man?
It was inherently strange.
“There's a possibility, but we can't be sure yet. We just need to be careful from now on! If there’s really a problem, they’ll eventually reveal themselves!”
Chen Fan said faintly, feeling a bit weary.
