HU496。

Hainan Airlines' direct flight number from Seattle to Beijing

Almost the fastest route connecting two countries across the ocean.

Yang Yiming took this flight and returned to the land of the motherland for the first time after nearly 9 months of wandering abroad.

The capital is Beijing.

Terminal T3.

Security checks, border posts. The passage of Chinese citizens is long and straight, and compatriots are rushing out. Compared with the winding "foreigners" next door, I don't know how much smoother the passage in the queue. As soon as I set foot on the land of the motherland, I saw this scene, which undoubtedly made people feel good.

Yang Yiming dragged the boarding suitcase and backpack on his back and walked to the border inspector in his passage. The other party didn't look up, only took the passport and bowed his head and said:

"Hello, please take your hat off."

Yang Yiming remembered that he was still wearing a baseball cap, and quickly wiped it off his head.

The border inspector was a young man, he looked up and swept Yang Yiming from top to bottom, then neatly stamped his passport and handed it back from the small window.

"You can put your hat on."

"Huh?" Yang Yiming didn't understand the intention of the border inspector's words.

"Welcome back to China, Mr. Yang Yiming." The young man at the border inspection glanced at Yang Yiming and a smile appeared on his face. He had obviously recognized Yang Yiming a long time ago, but he kept a serious expression and did not expose himself until the end.

It's a pity that he kindly thought that by wearing a hat, he could block the crowd that identified him for Yang Yiming, but he didn't expect that the exit where T3 arrived had already been surrounded by Yang Yiming's fans, and there was no chance to escape at all.

Security at the capital airport and the local police station at the airport had to send special manpower to maintain order. Male fans, female fans, shouting male fans, and screaming female fans all blocked the exit and flocked to the small circle formed by the hands of the security guards and the police. Although Yang Yiming is tall and burly, he is still like a lonely boat in the sea under the squeeze of the crowd, lost his way, and can only go with the flow.

"Yang Yiming is awesome!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and the others immediately echoed it.

"Awesome".

"Rockets are champions."

Fans in the capital seem to have moved their slogans to the airport against their home team. The female Yang Yiming fans over there were not convinced, just like a fight, someone took the lead and pulled his throat: "Yang Yiming is so handsome!" ”

The screams of echo instantly overwhelmed the male fan on the other end.

"Handsome."

"I love you."

The female fans became more and more courageous with the sound, and quickly found a breakthrough from the northeast corner of the crowd. Female fans took advantage of their gender advantages, dexterous figures, and unswerving determination, like a flood that burst the embankment, and they were about to rush to Yang Yiming, who was alone.

It was too late, and a muscular figure emerged from the southwest corner of the crowd. She held aloft the poster of Yang Yiming's serious expression captured when he took the free throw, and put it in her post-processed pink heart-shaped frame, seeing that she was hopeless to break through the fence with little strength, she was in a hurry, lowered her head and bit the back of the security officer's hand. The security guard screamed in pain, and couldn't help but withdraw her hand to cover it, she took the opportunity to break through, like a defender in football who was determined to strangle the quarterback, and rushed towards Yang Yiming.

shouted in his mouth: "Yiming, I want to give birth to you..."

It's a pity that the word "child" hasn't been shouted yet, and the police who make up for the defense are like real rugby players, and the two of them stopped her and hugged her and pressed the sturdy female fan to the ground.

The surrounding crowd suddenly made way for an open space like dominoes that had been toppled.

"Let go of me! Don't stop me! I'm going to sue you! You can't do that to me..."

The female fans who were knocked down still did not give up, slamming the ground and splashing on the ground, fully accusing the people's police and security personnel of the "atrocities". Everyone was attracted by the sudden dramatic episode of this scene, and they took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to conquer the major platforms of Moments, Weibo and Douyin. Yang Yiming took advantage of the female fan's "sacrifice for righteousness", and was diverted from attention, and he was finally able to take the opportunity to get out and successfully escape.

It was raining in Beijing on the 11th.

It is said that this rain in the capital has been falling all day and will continue to fall. In some places, flood control warnings have even been issued in advance. Originally, after arriving, Yang Yiming had a meeting with college students as soon as possible, but it was temporarily canceled due to weather changes. After a brief discussion with Yu Xiaochun, he decided to change his plan and go to the Beikong men's basketball base on the shore of Yanqi Lake in the northeast of the city.

A Mercedes-Benz van, much like the one he used in the United States, carried them from the airport all the way north.

The rain in the evening was not small, and coupled with the traffic out of the city during the evening rush hour in Beijing, Yang Yiming and his car stopped and stopped, and they could not drive.

The huge city of Beijing has now turned into a ticking waterline outside the window. The view was blocked by rain and fog, and the red taillights of the vehicles traveling on the road flickered and faded, like a cloud of red ink. Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun looked at each other like this, feeling the motherland that had been separated for a long time.

This rain, even the humidity in the air, is very affectionate.

It's not at all like the dry climate of the Texas desert, which is so hot that the loess is flying. Houston has a river running through the city, but it still can't withstand the drought weather across Texas, which can make people breathless like a dog with a tongue sticking out.

Yang Yiming is from a rainy mountain town. The weather in Beijing is naturally very different from that of the mountain city, but he prefers the time when it rains in the capital. Most of the time they train at the base in Yanqi Lake, and he has not been in the team for a long time, only one summer, but a few times he went to the city to play friendly matches with other teams, and then took the bus back, just in time for the rain in Beijing. When the rain flooded the sky and the sky and his vision was blurred and blocked, his teammates fell asleep because of fatigue, and he seemed to suddenly forget that he was in a foreign land.

It's so familiar that you don't have to think about the future.

Don't think about where this road will take him.

Although in the end, fate suddenly took Yang Yiming to make a sharp turn and turned into the fast lane, so fast that he didn't have time to hesitate. But when this familiar feeling of security hits, he can still be like a "small team member" when he was not famous, curled up in the corner of the bus, enjoying the moment peacefully.

At that time, the NBA was still like a distant dream, hiding behind the rain curtain somewhere that could not be seen clearly.

Yu Xiaochun, who was next to him, was also from a rainy city in the south. They didn't know each other at the time.

I wonder if he had similar expectations when it rained in that city. A glimmer of hope in stability.

Yang Yiming was thinking about it, and their car finally drove out of the traffic and turned onto the highway to Yanqi Lake. Within ten minutes, the car drove to the gate of the base of the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team.

It's back here again.
