Picking Someone Up at the Airport, Three New Roommates (7,000-Word Real-World Chapter) (Continued)
Qin Lang suddenly said, "Do you think that if we lose this battle, we'll never see this kind of scenery again?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, realizing the problem, and the relaxed expressions on their faces gradually turned serious.
Then, their gazes involuntarily fell on the young man in the wheelchair.
Shen Xing was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's do our best. As Elder Wang said, the survival of a world is never determined by any one person, but requires the joint efforts and sacrifices of everyone."
"From the current perspective, Blue Star is not without a chance."
Everyone nodded and stopped discussing this somewhat heavy topic.
"Whoosh—"
The Hippogryph flapped its wings, carrying them swiftly along the way.
It took them thirteen minutes to reach their destination.
From afar, you can see the runway and waiting hall situated on the flat ground.
Shen Xing directed the Fried Chicken to land in the parking lot, and then they headed together to the exit area.
Along the way, their group attracted the attention of countless newcomers.
With her Yu Feifei was like a moving jewel, shining wherever she went.
Although Xu Jiayi is shorter than average, she has very fair skin.
Especially after consuming the Thousand-Year Lotus Seed, the person seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, with a faint glow on their skin.
If she was previously at a mid-to-high level of 6, she is now at least 9 or higher.
Needless to say, Qin Lang, with his massive build, stands out from the crowd.
With Shen Xing in a wheelchair added to the mix, it's hard not to attract attention.
Moreover, compared to the other three, this young man in a wheelchair attracted more attention.
Passersby all stared at his face, seemingly lost in thought.
Some people even took out their phones, took pictures from a distance, and then compared them.
"We'll be there in five minutes. Let's send a message to Wanyin," Qin Lang suggested as he pushed the wheelchair.
The other three nodded, ignoring the stares of their surroundings, and continued straight ahead.
Xu Jiayi posted a message in the discussion group.
A moment later, Xia Wanyin also sent a voice message: "The plane is landing, and I'll be there soon. Please wait a little longer."
Next, the four of them stood in the most conspicuous spot at the exit, so that they could see the person coming out immediately.
What they didn't notice was that, as time went by, more and more people were gathering in this direction.
Among them was a fan club for a certain celebrity, who had originally prepared to welcome their idol.
Upon seeing those figures, they also gathered around.
At first, Shen Xing and the others didn't notice, assuming it was someone else waiting to approach like themselves.
When the four realized what was happening, they found themselves surrounded by layers of people.
Turning my head, I immediately saw pairs of wide eyes, filled with doubt, surprise, and curiosity.
Just then, someone shouted something.
"It's confirmed, it's Shen Xing, number one on the leaderboard!"
In an instant, the crowd erupted in cheers!
"Holy crap! It's actually real! My luck is incredible, I've run into the real number one player on the entire server!"
"Come over here! Our Blue Star is here!"
"Shen Xing! Shen Xing! I'm your biggest fan, let's take a picture together!"
A cacophony of shouts erupted around them, and a group of people, unable to control their emotions, charged forward.
In an instant, the four were engulfed by the crowd.
A few minutes later.
A young woman in a white dress arrived at the exit area, guided by a staff member.
With her eyes closed, she excitedly took out her phone and sent a voice message: "I'm here! Where are you guys?"
However, half a minute later, there was still no response from the discussion group.
The female staff member next to her looked at her and asked curiously, "Miss, hasn't your friend arrived yet?"
"I don't know," Xia Wanyin said, puzzled. "They mentioned it a few minutes ago, why hasn't anyone replied to me?"
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in the female staff member's eyes. "It is indeed strange. In the past, there were always many people at the exit every time a flight arrived, but now there are hardly any."
"And with a celebrity on this flight, it should have been packed."
Not far away, a man dressed in a custom-made suit, wearing a hat and sunglasses, walked out surrounded by a group of security guards.
He carefully hid behind the crowd, seemingly afraid of being recognized by fans.
When he saw the sparsely populated exit area, a look of astonishment immediately appeared in his eyes, as if he was very puzzled.
"Liu Rui, didn't I tell you to leak my flight information in advance?"
The man in the suit looked at a woman in business attire beside him and asked, "Why isn't anyone here to pick us up?"
The woman also looked bewildered, and was frantically scrolling through various group chats on her phone.
At the same time, Xia Wanyin's phone vibrated, and a voice call came in.
After answering the call, Shen Xing's voice came through. "Sorry, Wanyin, we've run into a bit of an unexpected situation. We'll be there soon."
Although Xia Wanyin was puzzled, she still smiled and replied, "It's alright, I just arrived. You all have things to take care of first, no need to rush."
Just then, Shen Xing's voice came again. "We've arrived."
The next second, a violent gust of wind blew up from above.
A massive Hippogryph descended from the sky and swiftly landed in front of the girl in the white dress.
"Wanyin, hurry up and get on, we're about to run away." Shen Xing, sitting on the back of the Fried Chicken, waved to her.
"Ah?"
Xia Wanyin looked puzzled.
Before she could react, Xu Jiayi had already jumped down, taken her hand, and led her onto the back of the Hippogryph.
"Huff—"
The Fried Chicken suddenly flapped its wings, carrying everyone into the air, and flew out of the hall.
Below, on the ground, followed a large group of Fervor figures.
They chased each other frantically, shouting nonsensical phrases, just like in a zombie movie.
The people on the Hippogryph's back were on high alert, each one as if facing a formidable enemy.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they flew out of the hall and soared into the vast sky.
"What... what happened?" Xia Wanyin also sensed the large group of auras from before, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are those people chasing you?"
Upon hearing this question, the three exchanged a helpless glance.
"What else could it be?" Yu Feifei said irritably, "That person is too famous, we were recognized as soon as we stepped out, and a bunch of people surrounded us."
"Some Fervor pounced on him, wanting nothing more than to strip him naked in public."
"We were so scared that we immediately took off on flying mounts and fled. We only turned back after you arrived."
Xia Wanyin nodded in realization, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hehehe, I see." She said with a laugh, "Indeed, being too famous isn't good either."
"Shen Xing is a big celebrity now, so remember to protect your privacy when you go out, or you'll be swarmed by a bunch of female fans."
"Come on," Shen Xing said speechlessly, "If it weren't for picking you up, I wouldn't leave the house for half a year."
"Is that so?" Xia Wanyin said with a smile, "I'm truly flattered to have our server's number one player personally greet me."
"Oh, right, Mr. Shen, can I get your autograph? I'm your number one fan!"
As the girl spoke, she conjured a notebook and a pen from who-knows-where and handed them to Shen Xing.
"An autograph? I'll get one too." Xu Jiayi said cheerfully, "I'll sell it on Xianyu later, maybe I can even make a small profit."
"I want some too! I want some too!"
Qin Lang and Yu Feifei echoed this sentiment.
Shen Xing rolled her eyes at them speechlessly. "Go to hell."
Everyone laughed.
After Xia Wanyin's teasing, the atmosphere on the Hippogryph's back became much more relaxed.
At this moment, they couldn't help but turn their attention to Xia Wanyin and scrutinize her.
She seemed to have dressed up carefully before going out, with light makeup on her face.
She wore a white dress, white socks, and white shoes, and had a small white flower hair clip on her head.
Add to that her pale eyes and the faint smile on her lips.
Like a peony that has weathered many storms, it blooms with unparalleled brilliance.
"Wow, so beautiful, even more beautiful than in the game," Yu Feifei exclaimed in admiration.
"Indeed." Xu Jiayi nodded in agreement. "Even a true fairy wouldn't be much different."
Even Shen Xing couldn't help but sigh, this person's temperament and appearance were truly exceptional.
Hearing everyone's praise, Xia Wanyin lowered her head shyly and said softly, "No... Although I can't see, Jiayi and Feifei are definitely prettier than me."
The two exchanged a glance, and a strange smile appeared on their lips.
Then, realizing something, they each snorted coldly and turned their heads to the side.
Next, the group chatted idly on the back of the Fried Chicken as they drove towards the center of Jiangcheng.
Soon, it flew to the vicinity of the White Dragon River and landed in the front yard of the villa.
Qin Lang pushed Shen Xing and went to open the door first.
Xu Jiayi held Xia Wanyin's hand, Yu Feifei helped push the suitcase.
Soon, the five of them returned home.
Xu Jiayi helped Xia Wanyin to sit down on the sofa, and then said, "It's rare for everyone to get together like this, and it's Wanyin's first time here too."
"Then I'll cook a meal for everyone myself today."
"No way," Yu Feifei immediately refused, "Your cooking is too strong in flavor; Wanyin definitely won't like it."
