I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 557 (Yan Shixian)
It's another offseason. Yan Shixian, who led the team to defend the NBA championship last season, entered the sage time and boarded a plane to China.

As soon as he entered the business class, he had already attracted a lot of attention. Even though he was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask, his tall stature and unique temperament could not be concealed.

There is no one who doesn’t like the new generation of NBA superstars—except professional haters.

And for the flight attendants, he is an "diamond bachelor" that cannot be ignored. It is hard not to be moved when they get close to him.

Last year, his salary income alone was as high as 4800 million U.S. dollars, and his income from advertising and commercial endorsements exceeded 9500 million U.S. dollars, with a total annual income of a staggering 1.38 million U.S. dollars.

He will be the highest-paid player in the NBA league according to the Forbes list to be released in October this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will set a new record for the annual income of NBA players. This is the strength of being a top Chinese star.

With the support of the entire Chinese market, Yan Shixian is currently the NBA star with the highest commercial value, no doubt about it.

With such a high income, Yan Shixian could have bought a private jet long ago. In fact, he did so and had signed a contract to buy one, and asked his assistant to pick it up for him.

But this June was special. Yan Shixian, who was eager to return home, could not wait for the private plane procedures to be completed, so he returned by civil aviation in advance.

The reason why Yan Shixian rushed back in such a hurry was to attend someone's graduation ceremony.

Because he didn't want to cause a sensation, he kept his itinerary very confidential and low-key.

It's just that he was so popular, and it's so hard to keep secrets in the world of the Internet, so that when he was still on the plane returning home, the information about his flight had already been all over the Internet.

As soon as he got off the plane, ground staff informed Yan Shixian that there were thousands of fans gathered inside and outside the airport to pick him up, and that security had been arranged for him in case of any accidents.

Yan Shixian smiled helplessly, expressing his understanding. Being in this position, he has become accustomed to the enthusiasm of the fans and his emotions did not fluctuate.

It’s just the flight information being leaked, he is used to it.

Yan Shixian pushed the luggage cart out of the VIP passage in a dashing manner. The noisy voices immediately pierced his eardrums, and a surging crowd came like a tidal wave.

Yan Shixian was specifically asked by the ground staff not to wave to the fans to prevent a stampede. So he took off his sunglasses, not even his mask, nodded to the crowd, and left quickly, just getting on the business car that the life assistant arranged for him.

But the road out of the airport is really difficult to walk on, it is almost as difficult as crossing a swamp jungle.

In the chaos, someone grabbed the baseball cap on Yan Shixian's head, and even his T-shirt was pulled a few times, causing him to smile bitterly under the mask.

If it weren't for the bodyguards and airport security blocking the way, the crowd would have been even crazier.

They say that star-chasing girls are crazy, but that's because they rarely have the opportunity to see fans. Whenever a superstar comes to China, the crazy fans can blow the roof off the roof, and the star-chasing girls can't even catch up.

When Yan Shixian finally got into the car after overcoming all difficulties, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The enthusiasm of the fans was indeed hard to resist.

He took out his cell phone, looked at the familiar avatar and name in the WeChat dialog box, but finally couldn't resist sending the message.

Although the other party may see from the news that he has returned to China, they may not know that he will appear on campus.

It's the time when the phoenix flowers bloom again, and the annual graduation ceremony is coming. Xia Qingdai, who completed her studies a year ahead of schedule, graduated today.

Xia Qingdai, wearing a doctoral gown, was arranged to perform piano on stage.

The song she played was "To Xia Qingdai", a piece Mozart gave her. This was also the first song that made her bank account balance reach seven figures.

Three cameras filmed her 360 degrees. Xia Qingdai had a smile on her face and performed calmly without any stage fright.

After the graduation ceremony, it was time for free photos.

Xia Qingdai walked through the crowd and just as she stepped out of the door, she found the man waiting under the phoenix tree outside the auditorium.

Du Zhong, who has regained his black hair, is actually a little different from Owen, who was respectful to Xia Qingdai in the 18th century.

A person who has integrated the memories of two centuries looks much older than Xia Qingdai, a truly young person.

He just stood far away under the phoenix tree and watched Xia Qingdai smile. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on his head, creating a halo. He was so handsome that it was earth-shattering.

Xia Qingdai waved to him happily and was about to run over when she heard another voice in her ear.

"Qing Dai!"

Xia Qingdai paused and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a man holding flowers, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, walking out from behind a pillar in the auditorium.

The next second, the other party took off his mask and showed a sunny smile. "Ah, classmate Yan, it's you, you're back?" Xia Qingdai, who didn't care about the hot searches on the Internet, was busy with the graduation ceremony these two days and had no idea that the news about Yan Shixian's return to China was all over the Internet.

"Well, I'm back." Yan Shixian walked towards her with a smile, "Congratulations on graduating early. Great!"

"Thank you." Xia Qingdai stood there and thanked him with a smile on her face.

Yan Shixian was about to hand over the flowers when a figure who was not to be ignored came in and nodded and smiled at him: "Hello, nice to meet you. I am Qingdai's boyfriend, Duzhong."

Yan Shixian's smile froze, and his eyes quickly swept over Xia Qingdai and Du Zhong, finally landing on Xia Qingdai's eyebrows.

"Well, I don't think I've mentioned this to you yet. He's my boyfriend, haha. I don't know if you still remember him. We're both alumni of Jiangda University, haha."

"Oh, Brother Du from the medical school. I remember him. Nice to meet you."

Yan Shixian smiled again, but the joy in his eyes had completely faded. He presented 99 pink roses decorated with lavender: "Congratulations."

Not everyone understands the flower language of waiting for first love.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to go visit the teachers." Yan Shixian put on his mask silently, nodded to the two of them and was about to leave.

Before Xia Qingdai could even open her mouth to invite the other party to have lunch together, she was interrupted by a group of people who suddenly squeezed over from the side.

"Ah! Hello... hello, may I ask, are you... are you Yan Shixian?" A girl with a flushed face stood excitedly in front of Yan Shixian.

Yan Shixian paused for a moment, took off his mask, and smiled openly: "Yes."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"It's really Yan Shixian!"

"Ahhhhh, Yan Shixian you are so handsome, I love you!!!"

There were screams all around, and people confessed their love, both men and women. Yan Shixian, who was originally alone, was instantly drowned in the crowd. Du Zhong pulled Xia Qingdai back several steps to avoid being trampled by the fanatical crowd.

"Well, should we go and help him? Can he still get out?" Xia Qingdai said worriedly while looking in the direction of Yan Shixian.

Du Zhong said calmly: "He is a basketball star and is used to being surrounded. Besides, this is Jiangda University, there won't be too fanatical fans, you don't have to worry. Let's go, if you want to make an appointment, you can contact by phone."

"Ok."

Xia Qingdai was just talking. She couldn't really squeeze into the crowd to pull Yan Shixian.

When Yan Shixian was just a young lotus, she didn't dare to get too close to him on campus, let alone now.

The two held hands and walked farther and farther away from the crowded crowd. Xia Qingdai, holding the flowers, suddenly found a necklace decorated with flowers.

She picked it up, looked at the huge gem glittering in the sun, and said in surprise: "Is this a diamond?"

Du Zhong took it and took a closer look, then said calmly, "It looks like it."

"Oh my god, such a big diamond necklace is placed in the flower." Xia Qingdai was shocked, "Why are you so generous? How can I return the favor?"

She had just used the money to pay off the mortgage on her new house together with her brother.

Du Zhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay it back."

Xia Qingdai tilted her head to look at him, and smiled without being polite: "Okay."

A large part of little Owen's money originally belonged to her!

Yan Shixian's gaze passed through the bustling crowd, looking at the backs of the couple leaving together. His heart ached and a look of loneliness appeared on his face.

After all, it was too late.

Fortunately, I didn’t buy red roses, otherwise today would be even more embarrassing.

Goodbye, my love.

May you be happy.
