I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 207 This is the most down-to-earth celebrity I've ever seen.

When Ye Xian was queuing to board the plane, he was wearing a hat and a mask, and not many people paid much attention to him.

When Ye Xian boarded the plane and finished putting away his luggage, preparing to bend down and sit down, a tall young man next to him was also putting away his luggage.

As the young man raised his hand, his elbow accidentally touched the brim of Ye Xian's hat, causing the hat to fall to the ground.

The young man quickly apologized, picked up the hat, and stood up to hand it to Ye Xian.

"Holy crap—you're Brother Xian?"

Ye Xian was also stunned for a moment. His hat had fallen off, but he was still wearing his mask. How could you recognize him at a glance?

The young man glanced at Ye Xian's side again: "Is this the blind war god? Aunt Qiu? Commander Sun Li?"

Ye Xian immediately understood; he had encountered a fan.

He was about to stop the other person and tell them to keep their voice down when several girls nearby stood up from their seats: "Brother Xian? Where is Brother Xian?"

"Ahhh, there it is!"

Several girls started snapping photos with their phones. Ye Xian quickly bent down to sit down, but the young man had already brought his face and phone close: "Brother Xian, let's take a picture together?"

Ye Xian looked helpless, having forgotten that he was already a celebrity.

There's a saying that goes something like this: Even if you get plastic surgery and a completely different face, paparazzi and fans will still be able to recognize you!

Ding Zhan was also helpless. The time was too tight. How could the Sixth Princess give such a last-minute notice for an event? It was a miracle that the group of people could even get on the same plane.

No matter how capable he is, he can't solve the airfare problem.

The Tang Dynasty Peony Festival is a grand event of the Tang Dynasty, and tomorrow is the opening ceremony. Therefore, many young people are taking overnight discounted flights, partly to save money and partly for a special forces-style tour: arrive tonight, walk 80,000 steps tomorrow, and then take a discounted flight back tonight.

Evening plane tickets are much cheaper than high-speed rail tickets, so young people make up the majority of passengers on this flight.

More and more people realized they were on the same plane as Ye Xian, a currently very popular star. Many people stood on their seats and looked in their direction, and some young people started crowding around, wanting to take a photo with Ye Xian or snap a picture of him.

Ding Zhan could only stand in the passageway outside Ye Xian to block everyone from crowding in, but the plane seats were open in both directions, and everyone in the seats in front and behind stood up, making this side even more crowded.

The flight attendants also noticed the commotion and rushed over to maintain order.

This trip is different from the one to Haizhou. Back then, we were in a square, and we could run around in all directions. Now, on the plane, Ye Xian is stuck in his seat and can't go anywhere.

Left with no other option, he stood up and said, "Everyone, please don't crowd over here. The plane is about to take off. For everyone's safety, please return to your seats. If you want to take a photo with me, you can take as many as you like after we get off the plane at our destination. Is that alright?"

The flight attendant loudly reassured everyone, "Please everyone return to your seats. Don't delay our takeoff; any delays will affect everyone's time, right?"

With the flight attendants in charge, many young people stopped crowding around and instead took short videos from their seats, posted them on Kuaishou, and then sat down.

However, one or two young people still ignored the warnings and squeezed through.

Ye Xian knew he couldn't agree at this moment, otherwise more people would crowd over. He patted Ding Zhan, who opened his arms wide. Qiu's mother and Sun Li also opened their arms wide to block the young people.

The flight attendant was very experienced; she immediately went up to them and threatened, "If you don't cooperate, we have the right to ask you to get off the plane!"

The young people then reluctantly returned to their seats, filming short videos as they walked away.

The plane hadn't taken off yet, and the flight attendants hadn't asked anyone to turn off their phones, so the short videos everyone was filming were immediately uploaded to Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform).

#Ye Xian sits in economy class

Before the plane even took off, Ye Xian suddenly appeared on the trending list.

Many fans of the late-night snack group were laughing hysterically because many people knew that Ye Xian rushed to the capital overnight to participate in the performance, but no one expected that he would take an economy class flight.

This is Ye Xian, a rising second-tier star who is currently very popular.

His Weibo post was met with unanimous ridicule from the late-night snack group.

[Hilarious Auntie: Hey Xian, you're a big star, you know! You should have some class when you go out, right? Can't you afford business class? Oh, I forgot, you just pulled through the brink of bankruptcy.]

[Martial Arts Master: Tsk tsk tsk, this is the most down-to-earth celebrity I've ever seen! Can't even afford a business class ticket when he travels! Next time you can't get a business class ticket, just let me know, we have a private jet!]

[Ugly people should read more books: I thought Brother Xian always flew first class, but it turns out he flew economy. Now that you mention it, I'm not much different from a second-tier celebrity!]

[Han Jiajia: Another waste of public resources! As a celebrity, causing a disturbance in the airplane cabin—such a disgraceful artist should be banned!]

[Humanity knows no bounds: Whose dog ran away? Oh, it's Han's army! Haha, does your Han-ge always travel by private jet? By the way, how was Xian-ge's graduation song last time? Why haven't you followed up? Our Xian-ge is waiting for your Han-ge to make his move, why don't you dare to accept the challenge?]

[Han Family's Strategist: Bullshit! It was our Brother Han who mentored Ye Xian, this junior. The little junior is ungrateful, taking advantage of our kindness and releasing several more songs to ride on the coattails of one. He has no shame whatsoever.]

[Splitting a durian with bare hands: Just a passerby, I want to say something fair. If you're so capable, show us your songs; if not, shut up.]

……

Ye Xian had no idea that his simple act of flying economy class would unintentionally become a trending topic, nor did he know that some trolls were taking advantage of the situation. At this moment, he was being harassed by a young man.

The other passengers were persuaded to go back by the flight attendant. The young man's seat was in front of Ye Xian's. He leaned on the seat, taking pictures of Ye Xian and asking him questions.

"Brother Xian, are you going to Beijing for a performance this time?"

"Hey Xian, why didn't you buy a business class ticket? Are there no seats available?"

"Brother Xian, are you really only 20? I bought your 'Abridged Dream of the Red Chamber,' it's a really good book, but it feels a bit like a diary entry. When will the complete version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' be released?"

"Brother Xian, is Qiu Qing really your childhood sweetheart? How come we've never seen her come out? We don't even know what she looks like!"

……

Looking at this talkative fan, Ye Xian felt exhausted. He turned on the service light and said to the flight attendant who rushed over, "Excuse me, could you please find me a different seat? I'm really sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. If not, I can move to the last row. I'm afraid everyone won't get enough rest here."

The flight attendant nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and discuss it with the chief flight attendant."

A few minutes later, Kongjian returned: "Hello, Brother Xian, the business class seats are all booked, but there are some empty seats in the last row. Let me change your seats for you and your assistant."

Ye Xian quickly expressed his gratitude, but the young man was displeased: "Brother Xian, we haven't taken a photo yet! You haven't answered my question."

Ye Xian lowered his head and apologized, "Can we take a group photo after we get off the plane? Let's not disturb everyone now."

The young man angrily sat back in his seat, getting angrier the more he thought about it. He casually posted the short video he had just filmed on Kuaishou: "I didn't expect Ye Xian to be so poor that he couldn't even afford a business class ticket, but he's so good at throwing his weight around."

He refused to take photos with fans, wouldn't answer their questions, and insisted that the flight attendant change his seat. If you have so much money, why don't you buy a first-class ticket? You're just acting like a big shot by buying an economy ticket.

Sigh, a minor celebrity is just a minor celebrity. Even if they're popular for a while, if their foundation is too weak, it won't last.

Ye Xian was unaware that the young man had posted the short video. He and Ding Zhan followed the flight attendant to the last row, which was a reserved seat, so no one was sitting there. Ye Xian, Ding Zhan, Qiu's mother, and Sun Li occupied four of the six seats.

The flight attendant and the stewardess breathed a sigh of relief.

Before takeoff, the flight attendants usually check the passenger list to see if there are any special passengers. However, their focus is on business class and first class. Moreover, Ye Xian has only recently become famous. The flight attendants fly around every day and don't know much about him. If someone hadn't called out Ye Xian's name just now, they wouldn't have known that there was a big star sitting in economy class.

This is actually quite normal. Celebrities usually fly first class. Even if they know Ye Xian is a celebrity, if he's mixed in with the economy class passenger list, they would generally assume he's just someone with the same name. It's not surprising that they don't recognize him.

Sometimes, what people fear most is encountering newly popular celebrities or idols who act like divas and do endless silly things.

Fortunately, the big star named Ye Xian was very easygoing and took the initiative to switch seats to reduce the pressure on the flight attendants, which made the entire crew very grateful.
