I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 484 Farewell
After the National Day holiday, a few cold waves swept in and the weather became colder day by day.

Xia Qingdai had already changed into new autumn clothes. For her, life had been going on as usual during this period, without much change.

However, in the 18th century, as she had expected, the map of the old base, Fucui Villa, was completely submerged by the sea as time went by, and she could no longer go to the castle.

The British mission to the Qing Dynasty had been sailing on the sea for more than half a month and was now approaching the Strait of Gibraltar. This meant that Owen was already very far away from Fucui Villa in the English countryside.

The changes in the glass tank landscape box proved one thing: the maps of the eighteenth century were indeed closely related to Owen. He was Xia Qingdai’s living navigation in the eighteenth century.

When he is far enough away, his base camp, Fucui Villa, will also disappear.

Before this incident happened, there were only a few clothes in Xia Qingdai's modern cloakroom, and most of them were kept in Fucui Villa.

Later, seeing that the map of Fucui Villa in the glass tank was getting smaller and smaller, she moved some of the Empire dresses she wanted to sell to the modern cloakroom, immediately filling up the space.

Once these modern empire dresses are sold out, her private wardrobe store on Xiaohongshu may have to close down. Fortunately, there is no mortgage at home, so money is not tight.

The money from selling her skirts, plus the money left after paying off her mortgage from selling songs, left her with a total balance of 156520 yuan, enough for her daily needs.

Of course, Xia Qingdai also made extra preparations just in case.

Before Fucui Villa disappeared, she took the sculpture by Jean-Antoine Udon, the most famous sculptor in the 18th century, to the modern room and put it in a delicate glass box as a desktop ornament. She thought that if her family needed a large sum of money urgently, she could sell it as a miniature sculpture to make money.

If that's not enough, she also has a complete version of Mozart's Requiem and a never-before-seen serenade by Mozart.

There are many babies at home, so I feel safe.

In addition to the treasures she had taken from the eighteenth century, her brother Xia Shanglu had also become a millionaire with the copyright fees and royalties from his detective novels. Judging from the current development, he would probably become a multi-millionaire in a year.

Although money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done. The Xia family, which has escaped poverty and become rich, now has a strong ability to resist risks.

Both siblings now have money in their pockets, they are not worried, and their lives are getting more and more comfortable.

Xia Shanglu's sideline business was thriving, and his main business was also thriving. In mid-October, he received a third-class merit medal.

This medal was mainly won for rescuing a suicidal person in Qiantang River. Xia Qingdai also won a title of bravery awarded by the city, as well as a bonus of 5,000 yuan.

Compared to Xia Qingdai, it is not easy for Xia Shanglu to get any medal. This year's two third-class merits were both earned at the risk of his life.

However, if we ignore the thrilling process and only look at the results, it is still good. Xia Shanglu, who is less than 30 years old, has already won three third-class merits, and his future promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

If there was any major change in Xia Qingdai's routine life, it happened on a day in early November.

That day, when Xia Qingdai came out of the teaching building, she suddenly received a call from Yan Shixian, asking her to have dinner together.

Xia Qingdai originally wanted to decline. After all, on Friday nights when she didn't have night classes, her favorite thing to do was to go home and watch Owen's sea voyage.

But Yan Shixian said he had something very important to say, and when asked what it was, he refused to tell her over the phone, so she had no choice but to accept the invitation.

The place they met was a French restaurant that Xia Qingdai had been to twice. It was also the most upscale restaurant nearby.

"Actually, if you have something to say, you can just say it in the school cafeteria. Why bother to come here? You even specially booked a private room. It looks like your wallet is going to be drained tonight." When Xia Qingdai walked into the restaurant, Yan Shixian had already sat in the private room.

The French restaurant's private room costs at least NT$5,000, while the lobby only costs a little over NT$300 per person.

"Xiao Qian. I'm leaving, so I want to treat my savior to a good meal before I leave." Yan Shixian smiled, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity." "Ah?" Xia Qingdai asked in surprise, "You're leaving? Are you going to training again?"

Yan Shixian shook his head: "No, I am leaving Jiangda. I will go to American University next year."

"Oh! Are you going to play in the college league over there?" Xia Qingdai asked, "Have you picked a school?"

"Yes." Yan Shixian smiled faintly and told Xia Qingdai about the situation of the school over there and his future plans.

After playing in the college league, if nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to stay there and play in the world's top NBA.

This is a holy place for every basketball player. It is not surprising that Yan Shixian would take this path given his outstanding basketball talent.

"So, you're leaving next spring?"

"Yes, I'll apply for a visa this month."

"Oh, congratulations. I think it's great to be able to go out." Xia Qingdai raised her glass and clinked it with Yan Shixian's. "Then I should treat you to a meal today, as a token of my appreciation for you."

Yan Shixian curved his eyebrows and smiled, "No need. How about you treat me when I'm really about to leave?"

"Okay, no problem." Xia Qingdai agreed immediately. After all, Yan Shixian was her good friend, so it was only right to treat him to a meal before leaving.

Since moving to the new home, she has been taking a ride with Yan Shixian almost every week.

However, there was something strange about today's dinner for Xia Qingdai. She felt that Yan Shixian seemed to be hesitant to talk, and when she asked him, he avoided the question. She had no idea what he was doing.

After dinner, it started to rain. Fortunately, Yan Shixian's car was parked directly in the basement of the mall. Although the two of them didn't bring an umbrella, they were not afraid of getting wet.

"The cold front is coming again." Xia Qingdai said as she looked at the rain outside the car window, "If you go to the United States at this time, it should be very cold there, right?"

"Probably. I haven't learned about the climate there yet." Yan Shixian answered half-heartedly, seeming to be troubled.

Xia Qingdai tilted her head to look at him, paused, and asked, "You today..."

"Ok?"

"Oh, nothing. I just feel like you have something to say."

"Haha, well, I'm just saying goodbye to you. It might be a little sad." Yan Shixian laughed twice. "Will you miss me after I leave?"

"Haha, I guess so." Xia Qingdai also laughed, "But communication is so advanced nowadays, we can still keep in touch."

"Well, you are right."

After saying this, Yan Shixian fell silent and drove back to the community in silence.

Before getting off the car, Xia Qingdai waved to Yan Shixian and said, "I wish you a safe journey."

Yan Shixian smiled at her calmly with mixed emotions: "Okay, thank you."
