Chapter 264 The Story Writer
"Is he still following?"

"Still following."

Han Yi glanced back, and Fiamu Derwig was hanging diagonally behind him, not far away.So, he tilted the phone screen towards the Albanian bodyguard so that Barbara could see it.

"Hi, Fiamu!"

"He can't hear you."

Han Yi tapped his neatly worn headphones and smiled.

"What does it matter? Look, he can see it."

Feiyamu, who always paid attention to his employer, immediately spotted the familiar face waving to him on the screen.The big man smiled kindly and nodded to Barbara.

"When shopping in Nice, it doesn't matter whether there is security or not... just don't wander around the train station alone late at night, other places are very safe."

Barbara Pavin was lying on the sofa, eating instant carrot slices as a snack, as leisurely as if she was watching a live travel variety show.She raised her chin and said:
"Look at the people walking by you, every one of them is a tourist. No locals would hang out by the pier in such a hot afternoon. And even locals are not in danger. Half of the people living here are Retirement, half of it is to open a restaurant or hotel, and the money is too much to pick up... In fact, apart from small villages and towns, I think the safest place in the big city is Nice."

"I can tell." Han Yi smiled and nodded at each other with an old couple passing by him. Just by looking at the large Old Navy sweatshirts they were wearing, he knew that these two people were from the United States. They were most likely in Montana or A sunset tourist enjoying his retirement life in a remote town in South Dakota.

"But it's his job...I can't say no."

In fact, Han Yi only told half the truth.

first half sentence.

The poor public security in France is a fact known to the world, just like the proliferation of guns in the United States.Airport security inspectors unboxed zero-dollar purchases, luggage was lost on the high-speed train, bags were groped under the tower, and even white paper bags were snatched away by speedsters after they came out of a luxury store. Such reports have become the subject of major media reports. and French traditional repertoire.

This trip to the yacht show was Han Yi's first visit to France. He was highly nervous and would never let Feiyamu leave him even half a step before he understood the situation clearly.

The reason why he brought Fiamu Dervish instead of Kian Griffin was also very particular.The specific reasons were the same as the last time he went to Ibiza and London.In the United States, it works well for African Americans, and in Europe, it works well for Albanians.Be it Spain, England or France.

The Roma engage in petty theft, while the Bangladeshis exploit loopholes in the law. Only these two-headed eagle gangsters take on big things.Arms trading, drug trafficking, illegal immigrant smuggling, pirated sales of famous brands, whatever makes money.To the west of Israel and to the east of South America, Albanian crime families have basically formed a monopoly.

Therefore, in Europe, when you meet Roma people, you can shout "Attenzione Pickpocket", and it doesn't matter if you meet Bangladeshis and curse a few words. As long as you see Albanians, you have to walk around as much as possible.

Coincidentally, Fiamu Derwig has a double-headed eagle tattooed on his right shoulder, which is the mark he left in the Special Operations Regiment.

Cover it with clothes at ordinary times and show it when needed. It is more effective than a gun.

"Haha, don't worry, next time..."

Barbara originally wanted to say, "I'll help you get rid of him next time. I have a hundred ways," but when the words came to her lips, she finally swallowed them.

Because she knew very well that the probability of actually traveling to Southern France with Han Yi was very slim.

At least, that's what she's been trying to avoid.

Today, everything that happens across the mobile phone screen is just a hypothetical drama that can be terminated at any time.

"You will know next time when you have experience. This is a city worth... putting down all your vigilance and experiencing it with your heart."

"Yeah, I can see that."

Han Yi glanced at the rows of brightly colored six-story apartment buildings on the other side, as well as the obviously modern and luxurious villa complex halfway up the mountain, and then turned his attention back to the various restaurants and cafes beside him.Like Monaco today, the weather in Nice is so sunny that it looks like it has an unreal lake-blue filter. Turn on your phone and take a random photo, and it will give you a look that would only appear in other places after careful editing. Prominently colorful.

Europeans love outdoor experiences. As long as it doesn't rain, there will only be two or three scattered tables inside a restaurant, while everyone else is crowded into the open-air area opened by the store occupying the sidewalk.Nice is no exception. After landing from the pier and walking along the seawall, wherever there are seats, there are people crossing their legs and leisurely sipping coffee or cocktails.

A seaside city is crowded with tourists, which means it must have a pleasant climate, picturesque scenery, convenient transportation and developed commerce.At the same time, if you can still see million-dollar mansions scattered all over the mountains and plains, it means that its livability will not be low. It is not a tourist trap, but a paradise on earth that can truly stand the test of time.

Judging by these two indicators, Nice is indeed worthy of the nickname "City of Wonders".

"Where have you been now?"

"I don't know. I just got off the boat from the dock and walked around in a circle. In front of me is... I can't tell what it is."

"Turn the camera around and let me see it."

Han Yi did as he was told.

"Ah, we are still on the street of Laubacappet Pier. Walk up for 2 minutes and you will immediately see the embankment and the old town of Nice."

"Do you still remember the name of the pier?" Han Yi was a little surprised, "How many times have you been here?"

"After entering this industry, I come here every year...well, not just Nice. Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, and all the way to Marseille. Many brands will choose the Cote d'Azur for their activities and shootings, don't you think? It’s hard to get familiar with it.”

"Then you were only... 13 years old when you first came here?"

"No, I...maybe I expressed it incorrectly. I should say that since I entered this industry and achieved some success, I have been coming to Nice every year." Barbara Pavin wrinkled her nose and smiled, "When I was 13 years old But no, when I was 13 years old... I was still living in Japan."

"What?!"

Han Yi's voice was so loud that he was startled. He quickly covered his mouth and apologized to the tourists passing by.

Generally speaking, Europeans are not used to video chatting with others in public, but Han Yi's method of wearing headphones without disturbing other people is fine.More importantly, Nice is a tourist destination that receives 500 million tourists every year. It is a common phenomenon for locals to open Facetime or other video communication software to share the beautiful scenery with family or friends.

But all this must be based on the premise of not interfering with each other. Han Yi's exclamation just now was obviously a bit rude.

However, the passing family didn't take it too seriously. Instead, they smiled and waved hello to Barbara on the screen.The somewhat balding middle-aged man who was obviously the father of the four people did not forget to stop, patted Han Yi on the shoulder, and added:
"Why don't you come with your boyfriend? He looks like he gets scared easily."

Typical dad joke.

"Why didn't you come with me, Barbara? You clearly know that I don't dare to go out alone."

Han Yi found it interesting, so he simply unplugged the headphone plug connected to his mobile phone and asked.

"I can't stand this embarrassment." Barbara rolled her eyes and said to the four temporary spectators who gathered around her. "Last time we went out for Halloween, he was so scared that he crawled into my arms... We went to Disneyland. Passing by is Mickey Mouse’s Wonderful House.”

"That's not fair, honey...who wouldn't be scared by a talking mouse?"

Han Yi is a person who is very good at making jokes. If he can make fun of others, he can also make fun of himself.He added another piece of firewood to the family's joyous laughter after encountering strangers. Then he said "I wish you have a good day" to the four people, and continued to head towards the embankment with Barbara on the phone. .

"Why didn't I realize you were a natural improviser before?" Han Yi plugged the headphones back in and sighed with a smile.

"You're not bad either." Barbara was so happy that she was kicking her legs on the sofa. Today's Facetime video was the most casual, relaxing and interesting thing she had done in recent times.

"Seriously, have you really lived in Japan?"

"Yes, after shooting a set of inside pages for Spur magazine in 2006, I became somewhat famous in Japan and Asia. In order to find more job opportunities, my manager at the time arranged for me to stay in Japan. There is no need to fly back and forth. I will go there in the summer, in the winter, and any vacation time will pass. Later, the shooting tasks increased, and I even stayed there for seven or eight months a year."

"Then you... transferred to Japan?"

"No, how is that possible? My English was not good at that time and I couldn't speak a word of Japanese. If I went to school there, I would be doomed." Barbara covered her mouth and snickered. "The school allows me to take leave, as long as I have the year-end exams." "It's hard to keep up, isn't it?"

"It's extremely difficult! My friends will help me take notes and send them to me to read... But you know, how can a person in a foreign country read the things in school?"

"The habit of watching anime was formed at that time."

"Absolutely. In Japan, we all lived in apartments arranged by the company. At that time, I signed a contract with Icon. They were in Tokyo...I don't know where. They rented two apartments facing each other. There were about seven or eight girls living there. There, coming and going.”

"Then you should go out and play more often."

"They are all from different countries, and half of them can't speak a few words in English. And I am the youngest among them... Although everyone is very small, I was really exaggeratedly small. When I went to Japan for the first time , yes, that’s 13 years old.” Barbara breathed a long sigh of relief and recalled, “I couldn’t go anywhere, and I didn’t dare to go anywhere. For me at that time, going out alone to buy things at 711 was a big deal. A terrible thing.”

"why?"

"There will really be people chasing me all the way, even following me home to see where I live."

"No..." Han Yi originally wanted to say that an international city like Tokyo would not be so curious about foreigners, but looking at Barbara Pavin's face, all doubts disappeared with the wind.

The reason why she is being looked at has nothing to do with whether she is a foreigner or not. It is simply because she looks so in line with Asian aesthetics.

The 23-year-old Barbara would be considered to be only 13 or [-] years old, full of youthfulness. One can only imagine how destructive [-]-year-old Barbara is to the Japanese who have always loved juvenile aesthetics.

No wonder her modeling career started in this far east island nation.

"I can understand that this may be the first time they have seen fairies in comics come to life since they were little."

"There's no one in the comics who looks like me."

Since becoming a model, especially since stepping on the Victoria's Secret stage, Barbara has heard countless compliments on her appearance and has developed a strong immunity.But even so, when Han Yi praised her, many dense and sweet pink bubbles would still pop up in Barbara's heart.

She liked Han Yi's straightforward way of describing and complimenting without any emotional fluctuations, which made people feel that this was his truest inner thoughts and the irrefutable reality in his eyes.

"However, they do like to put on some... very cute makeup on me, and put on multiple layers of foundation for every photo shoot, as if they think I'm not fair enough."

"That's how it is in East Asia." Han Yi nodded, "But I still like you better the way you are now."

"What's it like now?" Barbara put her hands on her neck, lay on her side on the sofa, raised her eyebrows, and asked.

"Sports, health, and nature." Han Yi carefully looked at the Hungarian girl who occasionally froze on the phone, "You now... feel more tanned than the first time I saw you."

"Work requires it." Barbara rolled up her sleeves and showed Han Yi her arm muscles. "Sports Illustrated wants me to have a darker skin color so that it looks better with my swimsuit... The most important thing is that they don't want me to do it yet." To lose weight, I hope I can maintain a natural body shape. This is the first time I have heard such a request since my debut."

"But it is true that a natural body shape is better. It is more beautiful and has more tension."

"You've seen it, right?"

"I see the embankment!"

"What about you?"

"Wow, the color of the sea water here... no wonder it's called the Jelly Sea!"

Han Yi was determined to pretend to be deaf and dumb.He switched to the rear camera to share his first-person view with Barbara.

There is a castle hill between the port of Lampia, where Han Yi took a transport boat ashore, and the old town of Nice.Tourists must make a J-shaped circle along the seawall to reach their respective destinations.At this moment, Han Yi stood at the beginning of the J-shaped hook, looking at Angel Bay beyond the embankment.

Baie des Anges, this is the romantic name given by the Nice people to the Mediterranean Sea they own.

Indeed, as holy and pure as an angel.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Han Yi would never have imagined that there was such a clear sea in this world.The place closest to the coastline is a light blue that is almost azure, extending slightly outward, it changes into a layer of turquoise-like Turkish blue.The boat has to sail two or three hundred meters toward the sea before the sparkling waves beneath it turn into a charming and deep Persian blue.

This is the pebble beach in Nice. After being washed by the water, the fine particles fall off the rocks, are suspended in the water, and then diffuse the light through the Tyndall effect, creating a unique spectacle.

A magnificent view that is difficult to see on other beaches.

In addition, the City of Nice requires that the water quality and hygiene levels of all beaches within municipal jurisdiction must comply with EU standards.In particular, all beaches west of Port Lampia will have to be closed for rectification if they cannot pass monitoring and obtain a "good to excellent" water quality rating.Therefore, in addition to public beaches being supervised by the city government, private beach owners will also actively maintain sea surface cleanliness and seawater quality to ensure that tourist reputation and business hours will not be affected.

Especially during the peak tourist season from June to September every year, the entire Angel Bay undergoes environmental testing once a week to ensure that the water quality will not decline due to the sudden increase in tourists.

Strict control measures prevent the intensive visits of millions of tourists from affecting the purity of this sea area.Standing under the Nice War Memorial with a wrought iron cross as the main structure, Han Yi was at least dozens of meters away from the sea, but even so far away, he could clearly see all the details of the seabed.

Maybe Han Yi, who was born in the inland, has little knowledge, but this is indeed the first time he has seen such a clean and transparent ocean with his own eyes.

The Jelly Sea is well-deserved.

"Yes, the jelly sea, a very vivid metaphor." Barbara couldn't help but hold her breath as she looked at the blue and even dazzling Angel Bay on the screen.

"Actually, Hungary also has such beautiful waters. Lake Balaton, I told you before, is also very clean and beautiful. But... it feels different."

"For me, Lake Balaton is... home. It's a place where when I'm tired, I take a boat to the middle of the lake and sit for a day, dazing under the mast."

"But Nice, Nice is different. Here...haha, I don't know why, it gives me a very expensive feeling."

"Very expensive?" Han Yi looked at the old city of Nice not far away, with uniform brown-red roofs, almost the same height, and occasionally one or two buildings that were obviously more beautiful than the forest, either a bell tower or a church, similar to those in Ibiza and Ibiza. Lisbon, or most European seaside cities, is no different.

"Don't you think pebble beaches are like luxury goods? They allow you to enjoy all the beauty of the ocean without getting covered in fine sand, which is difficult to clean and can get into your shoes if you're not careful. Take it home with you in your clothes or hair.”

"If you want to say so, it is true."

"Moreover, if you go further into the city, you will know that no one will drive a luxury car and wear a luxury watch to Nice for vacation. It is completely incomparable with Monaco or Cannes, but... some things cannot be hidden, such as the seaside The seats under those umbrellas... each seat costs [-] to [-] euros, not counting the cost of drinks. If you want to sit in the first row, you will have to queue up at [-] or [-] in the morning to wait for a seat. Otherwise, you have to be one of their VVIP customers, so in advance Reserved.”

"So is the hotel... Have you seen the largest and tallest building on the coast? The one with the dome."

"No...ah, did you see it? The dome is brownish-red, a little faded?"

"Yes, that's it, Hotel Negresco, the oldest and most luxurious five-star hotel in Nice."

"It does look like it's old, this exterior wall." Han Yi frowned, taking a closer look as he stepped forward.It was indeed too far away to even focus without paying full attention.

“That’s where I stayed when I first came to Nice.”

"That was the first time I... experienced what real money and power are. The first time I got close..."

"Your circle."

　Disclaimer: Don’t think wrongly, it is not the kind of understanding and closeness you think.Don't worry, this book doesn't have that kind of poisonous point.
