Chapter 380: You Can Stay at My Place Tonight
Chen Fan's sudden appearance startled Wen Wan.
Before she could react, Chen Fan had already taken down those two men and grabbed her hand, running forward.
As they sprinted wildly, Wen Wan even forgot to feel scared or nervous.
She just stared intently at Chen Fan in front of her, her eyes filled with joy and her heart racing with excitement.
After running for an unknown distance, Wen Wan was completely out of breath, and only then did Chen Fan stop.
He cautiously looked around, then pulled Wen Wan into a dark alley nearby.
Wen Wan stared at Chen Fan, her face full of surprise and delight.
"You... how did you..."
"Shh..."
Chen Fan suddenly made a hushing gesture, leaning forward and pulling Wen Wan close against the corner of the wall.
His gaze remained fixed on the area outside the alley.
Soon after, that van drove by.
"Where are they?"
"We clearly saw them running this way."
"Damn, we lost them."
"Who the hell was that guy? Where did he come from?"
"How the fuck should I know? Could it be a bodyguard assigned by her agency?"
The van stopped on the road outside the alley entrance, and two men got out to search around.
One of them even walked a few steps into the alley, but unfortunately, it was pitch black inside and emitted a foul odor of garbage.
This guy covered his nose, waved his hand, and frowned as he retreated back out.
"Did you manage to get any footage?"
"Footage my ass, that guy smashed both the camera and the voice recorder."
"All the stuff we shot before is gone."
"Shit, we took a big loss this time."
The two men cursed for a while, but in the end could only get back in the van and leave, grumbling in frustration.
Wen Wan and Chen Fan were pressed tightly together, leaning against the corner of the wall.
Chen Fan kept watching the situation outside, while Wen Wan's thoughts were in chaos, her heart pounding.
This was the first time they had been so close, and she could clearly feel the masculine aura emanating from him and Chen Fan's strong heartbeat.
Soon, a blush appeared on Wen Wan's face, feeling hot.
"Damn it, what am I thinking?"
Wen Wan quickly shook these embarrassing thoughts out of her head, her face red.
At this moment, the van outside had left, but Chen Fan didn't move. Instead, he cautiously waited for another two minutes before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
"They should be gone this time."
Looking down, he realized he was almost face to face with Wen Wan.
Especially since he had been too nervous earlier, forgetting about the propriety between men and women, he had practically pushed her against the wall.
"I'm sorry..."
Chen Fan quickly took a step back, coughing dryly and scratching his head in embarrassment.
Wen Wan didn't say anything, but asked with a red face: "You... how are you here?"
"Didn't you say you couldn't come out earlier?"
"It's a long story," Chen Fan smiled bitterly. "A manager from our club got injured, so I escaped to visit her in the hospital."
"I see..."
Wen Wan lowered her head, her emotions unreadable, as she nervously adjusted her clothes that had been wrinkled earlier.
"Do you know who those two guys were?"
Wen Wan looked up, "They should be reporters from tabloid magazines."
Chen Fan: "Weren't you supposed to leave Yunhai for the movie promotion tour?"
Wen Wan explained: "The first stop tomorrow is in Beijing, so I just need to fly over in the morning to meet up with the crew."
Chen Fan frowned: "Why are you wandering around alone late at night?"
"I've warned you before, you're famous now, you're a big star. Every move you make will be noticed by people. You can't wander around like before."
Wen Wan suddenly looked like a mischievous student caught by a teacher, explaining somewhat embarrassedly.
"I... I just felt like since I'm leaving tomorrow, I wanted to come out alone tonight for a walk, to see this city one more time..."
"I... I didn't expect to be recognized..."
Hearing this, Chen Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.
"It seems you still don't have a clear understanding of your current fame. Your company should know better too. How come they haven't assigned you a manager and driver at a time like this?"
Wen Wan quickly explained: "They actually did arrange a manager and driver, but I... refused."
Looking at the slightly nervous Wen Wan, Chen Fan took off his sports jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
"Put this on to avoid being recognized."
As he spoke, Chen Fan pulled the hood up over Wen Wan's head.
He examined her for a moment.
"Not bad."
"Let's go. I'll take you home."
Wen Wan was about to say something, but Chen Fan had already started walking towards the alley exit without further discussion.
Looking down at the sports jacket draped over her, Wen Wan hesitated for a moment before putting it on.
Walking on the street, Chen Fan tried to lead Wen Wan through areas without streetlights.
He also reminded Wen Wan to be wary of those intrusive paparazzi in the future.
"By the way, do the paparazzi know where you're living now?"
Wen Wan thought for a moment and shook her head.
"They probably don't know yet. I've rarely gone out these past few days."
Chen Fan nodded, "I guess you won't be able to stay there much longer. Now that you're famous, you won't be short on money either. I suggest you buy a house to live in. It's best to choose a neighborhood with good security conditions, at least for safety guarantees."
Wen Wan lowered her head, silently committing everything Chen Fan said to memory.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Wan asked in a low voice: "Did you... go see the movie?"
Chen Fan smiled: "I just climbed over the wall tonight, and I've just returned from the hospital. Where would I find time to watch a movie?"
Wen Wan originally wanted to say that she had time now, and ask if they could go watch the movie together.
But Chen Fan had already spoken.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely watch it when I have time."
"Actually, it doesn't matter much whether I watch it or not, because I wrote the script. No one understands the plot better than me."
Wen Wan thought to herself that he was such a big dummy.
Did he really think she wanted him to watch the movie? She just wanted him to see how well she acted in it.
In her heart, a thousand praises from others couldn't compare to one word of praise from Chen Fan.
After all, this movie was almost entirely Chen Fan's effort from start to finish.
She no longer saw Chen Fan as a student now.
She saw a very special charm in Chen Fan.
The more she interacted with Chen Fan, the more curious she became about him.
For example, Chen Fan not only had a talent for business, but was also a well-known online singer.
He said he would help her get out of her predicament, and then immediately produced a movie script.
After that, everything seemed to go according to Chen Fan's plan, including his suggestion that Director Zhang should direct this script... everything seemed to have been arranged by Chen Fan, proceeding entirely according to his plan.
He also told her that the role she played would definitely make her an overnight sensation and a huge star.
At the time, Wen Wan didn't quite believe it, after all, it was just a third-tier female role.
But unexpectedly, Chen Fan's prediction came true once again.
She really did become famous overnight.
She inexplicably went from being a down-and-out woman playing violin in a bar to the current hot new star.
The transformation happened so quickly that even now, Wen Wan still felt a sense of unreality, as if in a dream.
She wanted Chen Fan to go see the movie, to see the character she played.
Even if Chen Fan just commented afterward that she acted well, Wen Wan would probably be happy for half a day.
Thinking about these random thoughts, they arrived at the neighborhood where Wen Wan rented her apartment.
After escorting Wen Wan to the building entrance, Chen Fan shrugged.
"Alright. You're home safe. Go on up."
Wen Wan didn't move.
Looking at Chen Fan, her eyes showed hesitation before she suddenly bit her lip and spoke.
"Are you... going back to school tonight?"
Chen Fan took out his phone and checked the time.
"At this hour... even if I could successfully climb over the wall, the school dormitory doors would probably be locked."
"I guess I'll just stay at a hotel for the night and figure it out tomorrow."
Wen Wan suddenly said: "If you don't mind, you can stay at my place tonight."
