Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 156 155. The young couple are both tough guys ( words please subscribe)

“Crack…”

A string of five thousand firecrackers went off at the doorstep of Lin Jianping's house.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Every household in the village finished their dinner and fell into a quiet and peaceful rest.

Every household was startled when they heard the sound of firecrackers.

They came out one by one to spy, then followed the sound and smoke to lock the direction, and then began to eat melons in a lively manner.

"Who's setting off firecrackers?"

"It must be Xiuping's house, the lights in her yard are still on!"

"Yes, yes. I heard her say yesterday that today is Lin Xiao's birthday!"

"Lin Xiao is already thirty?"

"No way! Twenty-eight!"

"Why are you setting off firecrackers on the twenty-eighth? It's not the New Year's Eve! Burn them!"

"Hey, he's now the deputy mayor, a very important official, how can't I have a birthday party?"

"That's right. If my Baoping can become a village chief in the future, I will set off three boxes of big fireworks for him on his birthday!"

"Oh, there's no comparison!"

"Xiuping is so lucky. She is not outstanding in any aspect, but she gave birth to such a promising child. This is a blessing that she has accumulated over several lifetimes!"

"Tsk, being the deputy mayor is great, but you still can't get married!"

"He's just being picky. Who is like your Zhenfeng? He met 800 people but no girl liked him!"

"..."

A string of firecrackers from Lin Jianping's house sparked a lot of discussion in the entire Linjia Village.

However, their family had no time to pay attention.

It was already past eight o'clock, and we rarely had dinner so late at home.

Han Xixi was already full from eating all kinds of snacks.

However, he is the protagonist of the night.

She still had to sit at the dining table and accept the family's feeding and attention - even though today was Lin Xiao's birthday and he should be the protagonist.

"Xixi, drink the chicken soup. This is from an old hen that I have raised for three years!"

"Xixi, you eat this pig's trotter...it's a little fat, can you eat it?"

"Xixi, this is the choy sum you saw this afternoon. It's all grown at home, without any pesticides or fertilizers."

"..."

Han Xixi sat at the dining table, and before long, Zhou Xiuping had sold her all the dishes on the table.

But it was just a promotion, no one put their chopsticks on it.

At most she would just ask Lin Xiao to pick up some food for her.

Lin Xiao couldn't bear to reject his mother's enthusiasm, and seeing his wife's embarrassment, he deliberately came out to help: "Mom, do you remember that today is my birthday? Why are you only thinking about inviting others to eat?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Xiuping's face immediately turned stern: "What are you talking about! You brought Xixi back without even telling me in advance, and left the family with nothing to prepare!"

Han Xixi was shocked.

Looking at the three layers of bowls and plates stacked on the round table, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Auntie, there are so many dishes, it's quite rich!"

"What's so great about abundance? It's just a random number!"

Zhou Xiuping became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She glared at Lin Xiao again and said, "If he had told me in advance, I would have asked you what you like to eat and prepared the food according to your preferences. I don't even know if you like these or not!"

Han Xixi felt warm in her heart and her eyes were smiling like two crescent moons.

"Auntie, I'm not picky about food, I like everything!"

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Zhou Xiuping smiled kindly and kept calling out, "Xixi, eat, eat... Lin Xiao! Just take care of yourself! Pick up some food for Xixi, she can't even get any from here!!"

Lin Xiao had just put a pig's trotter into his mouth and hadn't even chewed it twice.

I was speechless when I heard my mother scolding me: No, are you sure it’s my birthday today? !

……

Because Han Xixi appeared suddenly.

Zhou Xiuping and Lin Jianping were obviously not mentally prepared, so at the dinner table they could only keep asking her to eat. They didn't dare to ask anything else, and they didn't know whether they should ask or not.

However, Han Xixi's cold temper quickly warmed up when he saw the old couple's warm attitude.

While eating, he took the initiative to talk about his situation.

For example, he and Lin Xiao were introduced by his mother, and his age, education background, and his identity as a singer.

Lin Jianping and Zhou Xiuping were surprised and stunned when they heard this.

The surprise was because he was sure that the girl in front of him was the daughter of the leader that Lin Xiao had mentioned before, and the leader had introduced her to him on his own initiative.

I was so confused that I couldn't understand what kind of profession a singer was. Could he be a normal person?

However, although they had doubts, the two did not show it.

Now she is still immersed in the joy of her son having a girlfriend. Apart from nodding her head and saying "OK", she can only let her eldest son pick food for her. At the same time, she punches her youngest son on the head: "You only know how to eat, and you don't even talk to your sister-in-law!"

Lin Yu was numb.

I was staying at school well, and just as I was about to go to dinner after class, the teacher called me over and said that my father had come to the school to pick me up.

I thought something had happened at home and ran to the school gate in a hurry.

The result was just to be told: My brother brought his girlfriend back!
Lin Yu was speechless. What's so strange about having a girlfriend? It's not like he hasn't seen one before!

But I still went home obediently.

As a result, he had to wait from five to eight o'clock for dinner and was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.

Fortunately, his sister-in-law was the same one he met last time, which made him feel good.

What makes me feel even better is that this sister-in-law can also drop gold coins, which can be as much as 10,000 yuan at a time.

But finally.

Under my mother's forceful suppression, the money was returned!
Lin Yu deeply experienced the feeling of "drawing water with a bamboo basket" and could only turn his grief and anger into appetite.

As a result, I couldn't even eat in peace.

My mother used it just to liven up the atmosphere, hitting it again and again, just to cheer up my brother and sister-in-law.

Lin Yu was numb!
In the end, I had no choice but to succumb to my mother's tyranny, calling her sister-in-law and taking the initiative to introduce my poor academic performance.

You know what, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became relaxed and lively.

Lin Yu’s inner thoughts: This family still depends on me!
We had dinner until almost nine o'clock.

Han Xixi looked at the time and gave Lin Xiao a look.

Lin Xiao understood and said quickly: "Mom and Dad, it's too late, I'll take Xixi back!"

After hearing this, Zhou Xiuping blurted out: "You're going home so late, just stay at home..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Jianping suddenly pulled his arm.

Zhou Xiuping then realized that this was not a New Year's Eve reception, but the first time her daughter-in-law came to visit.

She quickly changed the topic: "Xixi, I'm so sorry for today. Next time, let Lin Xiao tell Auntie in advance so that she can prepare something delicious for you!"

Han Xixi had a very happy day today.

At this moment, the smile is sincere: "Okay Auntie, I will come back when I have time!"

Zhou Xiuping felt very comfortable seeing that she was natural and not pretentious.

Send them downstairs.

When Han Xixi was about to get in the car, she took out two thick red envelopes from her pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

Han Xixi was surprised and refused twice in panic before accepting it at Lin Xiao's nod.

The car started and drove onto the road.

Another string of firecrackers went off, and the sound didn't stop until the car drove away for a long distance.

Han Xixi sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little depressed.

Lin Xiao frowned and asked her: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy with your dinner?"

Han Xixi grinned and said, "No, I'm very full! Your parents are very nice and take good care of my feelings. Your brother is also very cute!"

Lin Xiao thought the first part of the comment was quite fair, but the last part made him lose his temper.

cute? !
That bald boy, he can't even fart even with three sticks, what does that have to do with being cute?

"Then why are you so depressed?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Well...I don't want to leave. It's so comfortable here!"

"?"

This answer surprised Lin Xiao.

He laughed and said, "I see. If you want to live in our newly renovated house, I'll turn around now!"

Han Xixi was shocked: "Oh, no!"

Lin Xiao suppressed his laughter: "Don't you want to leave?"

Han Xixi grumbled, "That doesn't make sense for me to stay at my boyfriend's house the first time I go there... How will your mother see me?"

Lin Xiao said loudly: "Why can't you stay the first time you go? The first time I went to your house, I stayed there directly!"

Han Xixi rolled his eyes at him.

"You only moved in the second time, and that time, I told my parents that we got the marriage certificate. It's completely different from now!"

"Oh...we are not divorced now, right?" Lin Xiao asked back.

"Ok?"

"You are married now. Tell my parents that you are our legal daughter-in-law. Why can't you live here?" Lin Xiao said.

Han Xixi was stunned by what he said, and then her face turned red.

"Who is your wife..."

"you!"

"..."

Han Xixi had long discovered that he could not win an argument with this shameless man on such matters, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

There was silence in the car for a while.

Lin Xiao laughed: "It's true that my house is uninhabitable right now. It's still under renovation and the house is a mess. When it's finished, I'll give you a new bed and a new quilt. You can come back and stay as long as you want!"

These words made Han Xixi's face turn even redder. She felt like she was officially married into the family.

She wanted to deny it outright.

But the atmosphere tonight is much warmer than I expected, even more comfortable than at home.

At home, mom and dad are busy with work.

There are not many opportunities for a family of three to get together for a meal.

After finally getting together, the two leaders were either talking about work or explaining things to her or talking about future life plans. She didn't have a chance to interrupt at all.

Of course, when I was young, I was ignorant and always resisted my parents' teachings.

Now that she has entered society, everything her parents taught her over the years has come in handy, and she has finally understood her parents' good intentions.

However, this did not prevent her from liking the atmosphere in Lin Xiao's home, that pure, simple, family atmosphere.

The car got on the highway and drove into the night.

Lin Xiao noticed her loneliness and reached out to hold her hand.

Maybe it was because of the chicken soup, the little girl's palms felt warm for the first time.

The two looked at each other and smiled tenderly.

"Oh, my red envelope!"

Han Xixi suddenly remembered something important.

He quickly took out two red envelopes from his pocket, poured out the red bills, put them together, and then counted them very carefully.

"One, two... ninety-nine, one hundred!"

Han Xixi was so excited that her eyebrows danced with joy, "Wow, uncle and aunt each gave me 5,000 yuan!"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "You are a big star, your appearance fee is hundreds of thousands per minute, do you care about ten thousand yuan?"

Han Xixi rolled his eyes at him: "What do you know! Money is different from money!"

Lin Xiao was even more speechless: "They are all RMB, what's the difference?"

Han Xixi wanted to explain, but glared at him: "I'm too lazy to tell you!"

Then he carefully put the money away, happy as a little money-grubber.

Lin Xiao saw how cute his wife was and couldn't help smiling.

……

The young couple was very happy.

On the other side, the Lin family kitchen was filled with gloom and sadness.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi had been gone for about ten minutes.

The remaining family of three were still sitting at the dinner table, none of them saying a word.

Lin Yu originally wanted to go back to his room, but seeing how depressing the atmosphere was, he felt that his brother needed him now.

So he sat still.

After a long while, Zhou Xiuping finally spoke: "When I first saw Xixi, I felt that she looked familiar. Later, when I heard her say that she was a singer, I remembered the program on Mango TV. It was called...what was it?"

"Singer!" Lin Yu added.

"Yes, yes, 'Singer'! Oh my god, isn't Xixi the person on TV?"

Zhou Xiuping had been suppressing her shock all night, and only at this moment did she dare to release a little.

Beside him, Lin Jianping frowned and said nothing.

Zhou Xiuping sighed: "Xixi can even appear on Mango TV, she is not just the little singer she said she was..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but reply: "Sister-in-law is now one of the most popular singers in the country..."

As soon as these words came out, the couple's faces became even gloomier.

Lin Jianping finally spoke: "People like us..."

He said half of the sentence and didn't continue.

But Lin Yu understood.

What my dad meant was that such a brilliant person was not something an ordinary rural family like them could possibly match.

Having said that, Zhou Xiuping no longer hid anything.

"Xixi is a very nice person, not at all squeamish, polite and sensible, pretty and sweet-spoken!"

She frowned and sighed, "But can a big star live a down-to-earth life? When I look at my phone, it says that this star is divorced, or that star is cheating... There is no one who lives a decent life!"

While Zhou Xiuping was sighing with emotion, Lin Yu was still gnawing on half a plate of braised chicken feet on the table - not because he was hungry, but because he wanted to fill his mouth so as not to reveal the fact that his brother and sister-in-law had already obtained the marriage certificate.

This matter is known to the whole Internet.

Mom and dad also watch Douyin, but because of the existence of information cocoons, the content they watch is completely different from that of young people.

This is why Zhou Xiuping recognized Han Xixi because she appeared on the show "Singer" instead of seeing her on her phone.

But this meeting tonight.

My parents should be able to see their daughter-in-law on TikTok soon, and they will know that their eldest son has already married a superstar.

As for the matter, the rice has already been cooked.

Lin Yu didn't care about it anymore, put down the chicken feet, and said calmly: "Whether you are going through life or not, it depends on the person, it has nothing to do with what profession you are in!"

The couple didn't expect their youngest son to join in the conversation, and they looked at him in surprise.

Then he nodded.

"Yes, divide the people!"

“There are also celebrities who don’t get divorced!”

"Young people nowadays have nothing to do and are always asking for divorce. Didn't your second aunt's grandson get divorced?"

"And the family next door, they fight every day, I think it will be over soon!"

"..."

Lin Yu continued to gnaw on the chicken feet, watching his parents self-improvement and hiding their achievements.

Zhou Xiuping raised a new point: "Oh, are our gifts too little? I said each person should get 10,000 yuan. In Xixi's eyes, 5,000 yuan won't make her think we are stingy, right?"

Lin Jianping had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Lin Yu spit out the chicken bones: "Did your sister-in-law come to your house for your little gift? Even if you give her your passbook, it's just a small amount of money in her eyes!"

The couple nodded in agreement again.

"Yes, yes, the girl is attracted to Xiaoxiao!"

"Her parents also like Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, how could a family like us get to know a girl like Xixi?"

“I think they have a good relationship!”

"If Xixi didn't want to be our daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have come!"

"..."

Lin Yu pricked up his ears to listen, he really couldn't eat anymore.

Zhou Xiuping had one last doubt: "It's not a big deal for two people to be so far apart! Lin Xiao goes to work on time, and Xixi runs around everywhere as a celebrity. How can they live like this?"

Lin Jianping's face was gloomy again.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "There are so many people in the village who go out to work, and they only come back once a year, but they still live like this, don't they?"

Zhou Xiuping's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, didn't we get here this way before?"

Lin Jianping nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yu added: "Sister-in-law is rich, Lin Xiao is rich, they can take any plane and meet whenever they want. You are just worrying about nothing!"

The couple nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply.

Then they glared at me with bulging eyes at the same time.

Lin Jianping glared: "You have no respect for your elder brother. You don't even know how to call me brother?"

Zhou Xiuping put her hands on her hips and said, "Yes, we are worrying about nothing! You can marry a wife yourself in the future, don't look for us!"

Lin Yu was shocked: It's like killing the donkey after it's done its job! After all, I took on everything!
……

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Lin Xiao sent Han Xixi back to Jili Garden.

The last high-speed train is at 10:40.

Downstairs, the two said goodbye. Lin Xiao turned around to leave but found that his clothes were caught on something.

Lower your head.

Under the dim light, a slender hand with distinct joints grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Follow the finger all the way up.

He saw Han Xixi's lowered forehead, with reluctance and shyness hidden on her cheeks.

Lin Xiao's heart softened.

He turned around, held the cute little girl in his arms, and gently stroked her back.

It is late spring and the weather is warm.

Xixi was not wearing much, and she could actually feel the straps of her bra on her back, which stuck out slightly against the soft fabric.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and his lower body also skipped a beat.

Han Xixi was not aware of any of this and was immersed in this warm embrace.

Lin Xiao endured it again and again.

He still couldn't help it, so he loosened his arms, lifted her chin and was about to kiss her.

However, the four lips only touched lightly, and before the body temperature could be exchanged, Han Xixi jumped away immediately.

Lin Xiao put his hands on his hips and said nothing: "Han Xixi, can you ruin the mood a little more?"

Han Xixi smiled tenderly: "Mr. Lin, this is only our second date, are you pushing it a little too far?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.

"You're pretty open-minded. You're going home with a guy to meet his parents on only the second date!"

"Humph!"

Han Xixi was not fooled at all. "Whatever you say, I can't kiss you anyway!"

Lin Xiao was angry: "Tsk! I don't really want to kiss you, it's not like I haven't kissed you before!"

Han Xixi smiled and said, "That would be great!"

This annoying little devil's face made Lin Xiao so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Request for acceleration!" he shouted. "Denied!"

"Why? Don't I have two more chances?"

"You have the opportunity to apply, and I have the right to refuse. Is there any problem?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was completely speechless, and his tone and his expression softened.

"It's my birthday today, can't you be flexible?"

Han Xixi didn't buy it at all. She stretched out her index finger and shook it, smiling playfully.

"No confession, no acceleration!"

"I confess, I like you, I really like you!"

“I can’t feel the sincerity!”

Han Xixi curled his lips and glared, "If you keep being so perfunctory, I'll give you a yellow card!"

Lin Xiao laughed in his heart: Yellow card? Take it away, it's just right for me to take it home!
Lin Xiao had a helpless look on his face. Now he had tasted the sweetness and sourness of being in love with a little girl!
Seeing his expression, Han Xixi showed no mercy and turned around and went upstairs.

However, just as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back.

"What's wrong? Did you drop something?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xixi shook her head.

With her hands behind her back, as if mustering up her courage, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, blushing, and lightly touched his lips.

A soft touch, just a taste.

The heels immediately fall back to the ground.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Lin~"

Han Xixi said this with his dark eyes flashing, then he put on a shy smile and ran upstairs.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a long while before he came back to his senses from this unexpected birthday kiss, and his mouth corners were almost broken from smiling.

He stood still and looked up at the second floor.

He didn't turn around until he heard the door opening and closing until he turned around and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to run around and left the community in a hopping manner.

Take a taxi directly to the high-speed rail station.

I successfully caught the high-speed train, and after arriving at the station, I took a taxi to the gate of Anyang No. 1 Middle School to pick up the car, and then drove home.

It was already 11: pm when I got home.

He was so tired that he washed up and went to bed.

Have breakfast at home the next morning.

His parents seemed to be hesitant to speak at the dinner table. In the end, they didn't ask anything, and he said nothing either.

After dinner, send Lin Yu to school first.

On the way, the boy recounted the conversation he had with his parents last night, emphasizing his ability to endure humiliation and turn the tide.

Lin Xiao nodded approvingly.

Now I understood why my parents could hold back from asking any questions.

After all, marrying a female celebrity is too shocking for ordinary people, and it is difficult not to express some opinions.

Only now did Lin Xiao realize that it was his brother who had sacrificed his life heroically last night and had already cleared the mines for him!
For the first time, Lin Xiao felt that it was not bad to have a younger brother.

I arrived at the school gate and waved my hand and transferred 5,000 yuan to my younger brother.

Lin Yu frowned when he saw the amount: "Sister-in-law paid 10,000, and you only paid 5,000... Songwriters don't make as much money as singers!"

"Hey!"

Lin Xiao got anxious and hit him on the back of the head, "You are still picking it up, don't give up on me!"

Lin Yu quickly got out of the car and ran away!

After running out two steps, Lin Xiao saw the transfer indication "Received" in the dialog box and couldn't help laughing.

Lin Yu ran to the classroom in one breath.

It was morning reading time, and the head teacher was staring at them at the back door with fiery eyes. He was let in after making a report.

When his deskmate Zhang Zihang saw him, he immediately gave him a curious look.

But I can only endure it.

The first class starts right after morning reading.

Zhang Zihang endured it until the get out of class was over, then he pulled Lin Yu aside and asked, "What happened to your family? Why did they ask you to go back? What happened?"

Lin Yu is an introvert and doesn't have many friends at school, but he and Zhang Zihang are close friends.

At that moment, he knew everything and said, "Nothing happened, my brother just brought his girlfriend home!"

Zhang Zihang's eyes were always.

"That's it?"

"Ok!"

"Your parents are so boring. Your brother brought his girlfriend home, why did they ask you to go back? It's not like you brought your girlfriend home!"

Zhang Zihang was full of disgust.

Lin Yu subconsciously glanced at Wang Lulu who was sitting at the table in front of him, and quickly looked away.

"Ugh?"

Zhang Zihang suddenly remembered something, "Did your sister-in-law give you a gift when she first met you?"

Lin Yu frowned.

Although I was not allowed to receive the ten thousand yuan due to my mother's pressure, it can still be considered as having been given, after all, the action of "giving" actually happened.

So he nodded.

Zhang Zihang suddenly became energetic and shouted excitedly: "Fuck, this is great, this trip was not in vain!"

Then he asked excitedly: "How much money did you get?"

Hearing this question, Wang Lulu and Zhang Min in the front row couldn't help but come over to listen.

Lin Yu didn't want to answer, but when he saw Wang Lulu's curious look, he stretched out a finger.

Everyone was shocked.

Zhang Zihang's voice became higher and higher: "Fuck, your sister-in-law is really generous, she gave me a thousand yuan!"

Lin Yu: "???"

"It's a treat, Lin Yu. It's almost Saturday. Let's have hotpot. Do you two want to go?"

Zhang Zihang asked the two girls in the front row with the attitude that everyone who saw it should be included.

Wang Lulu was a little moved.

Zhang Min said directly: "No, I have to go home and watch "Singer". I have been waiting for a week!"

Zhang Zihang looked disgusted: "What's so good about that crappy show? Besides, isn't it broadcast on Friday? What's there to watch on Saturday?"

Zhang Min said helplessly: "I don't have a day off on Friday, how can I watch it? My mom never lets me bring my phone with me! I can watch it online when I get home on Saturday!"

Then he touched the girl next to him and said, "Lulu, will you come home with me?"

Wang Lulu's home is not in the county town.

So I usually have one day off on Sundays and stay in school. I only go home during the monthly holiday.

But sometimes, she would go to Zhang Min's house and stay for a night, and the two of them would watch shows and chat about gossip.

When she heard Zhang Min's invitation, she was a little hesitant. In fact, she wanted to go eat hotpot with Lin Yu.

But he was afraid that Zhang Min would get angry, so he asked indirectly: "Don't you dislike Han Xixi? Why are you still watching her?"

Zhang Min smiled happily.

"She was eliminated last time, so I can continue to chase her!"

"Even if I'm eliminated, there will still be an encore performance, right?"

"That's okay. I'm not following the live broadcast. I can just skip it when the time comes!"

Zhang Min was very proud and asked again, "Wang Lulu, are you going or not?!"

This statement already has a coercive meaning!
Wang Lulu was very hesitant, and Zhang Zihang asked, "Isn't Han Xixi's singing very good? Zhang Min, why don't you like her?"

Zhang Min rolled her eyes.

"You have pig ears, don't you know how to appreciate it? What's so good about Han Xixi's singing? It sounds like a cat humming. I hate her the most!"

It wasn’t enough for Zhang Min to despise her alone, so she pulled Wang Lulu and said, “Lulu also hates her very much, right?”

Wang Lulu looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

Zhang Zihang was curious: "Wang Lulu, do you also think Han Xixi's singing is bad?"

Zhang Min interrupted directly, "Yes! We are both fans of Yu Anan. This Han Xixi, she bullied our Anan on the red carpet last time, and she hasn't apologized yet. She is so shameless! We at 'Yuwang' are irreconcilable with her, and Han Xixi will be black all her life!"

He shouted the declaration with gnashing teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu accidentally knocked over the water bottle on the table, and half of the bottle of water spilled on Zhang Min.

"what!!"

Zhang Min screamed, "Lin Yu!! What's wrong with you!!!"

Lin Yu said calmly: "I'm sorry."

Zhang Min stomped her feet, glared, and ran out of the classroom screaming. She must have gone back to the dormitory to change clothes.

Zhang Zihang knew what his best friend was thinking, so he didn't give up and asked, "Hey Wang Lulu, why don't you go eat hotpot with us? What's so great about this crappy variety show?"

Wang Lulu frowned slightly, very hesitant.

Before she could say anything, Lin Yu said directly: "Let's go to the same dormitory. It's inconvenient for girls!"

This sentence made Wang Lulu look a little embarrassed and she turned back.

Zhang Zihang was very surprised and thought Lin Yu was shy and was avoiding him on purpose.

Just as I was about to ask him, the bell rang and class started again.

……

At this moment, Ninghai.

Zhou Hui and Chen Jiajia came early in the morning. After having breakfast at Han's house, they drove Han Xixi straight to Xingcheng.

Tomorrow night is her last recording session on "The Singer".

It is not accurate to say it is the last time, because a month and a half later, there will be the eleventh resurrection match and the twelfth finals.

If the resurrection is successful, there will be two more chances to go on stage.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to participate in the resurrection match, and the initiative is in the hands of the singer himself.

But now is not the time to discuss this matter.

On the way, Zhou Hui said sternly: "Xixi, there is something special!"

Han Xixi was stunned and had a bad feeling.

"Ok?"

"Didn't you just finish recording the theme song of the same name for "Night Wind Flower" a few days ago?"

"what happened?"

"Originally, you were going to sing "The Magic of Love" for this encore performance, and the company agreed. You can use this last opportunity to promote your own song and also gain some goodwill in front of the Kalia Group. Maybe you can get an upgrade in your endorsement next time!"

Zhou Hui had a serious expression. "But now, for various reasons, the crew of Night Wind has decided to advance the release date of the show and it will be broadcast in a week. So the program team contacted the company and wants you to sing the theme song Night Wind at the encore performance tomorrow!"

When Han Xixi heard the title of the song, he guessed what it would be like.

But his expression remained grim.

"The company agreed?"

“I didn’t agree directly…”

Zhou Hui sighed and said seriously, "Although as the singer of the theme song, you have the obligation to cooperate with the crew in publicity, but it is limited to running publicity with the crew, and your personal business activities are not included.

"Especially since the 'Singer' stage is so big, it's another chance to show myself. Of course I have to bring out my best work and performance... The song 'Night Wind Bloom' is still a little bit lacking for singing on 'Singer'! So the company didn't agree directly!"

Han Xixi had more to say when he heard this.

"So...did the crew put forward any conditions?"

"Correct!"

Zhou Hui said seriously, "Yu Anan is the female lead in this drama, and the male lead is less famous than her, so she is the number one to carry the drama! Lixing Media has invested a lot of money to pave the way for her. This time, they asked you to sing the OST and they asked a high price, otherwise we would not agree!"

She paused and continued, "During the last red carpet interview at Weibo Scream Night, you slandered Yu Anan for plastic surgery and high-end fashion, which had a bad influence on her. This week, Yu Anan has been inciting fans to slander you in various ways. The trending search is still on Weibo, just to force you to apologize.

"Of course I've told the company that it was Yu Anan who hired the Internet trolls to discredit you first, and we will never apologize. But now that this matter has become so big, it's a lose-lose situation for both sides.

"Li Xing is taking the initiative to show goodwill, and they also want to shake hands and make peace. You can sing "Night Wind" in the encore performance tomorrow to warm up the show in advance. They will arrange for Yu Anan to speak up and say something good about you, and this matter will be over..."

Zhou Hui said this while observing Han Xixi's reaction.

Seeing her expressionless face, she felt uneasy - she didn't dare to offend this sister again!

"I think... this matter is not bad for us! After all, the red carpet yin and yang incident was our fault, and the weakness was in the hands of others. And as for Yu Anan hiring Internet trolls to throw dirty water, is there any evidence on the Internet? If we really confront each other, we will suffer the loss!"

Zhou Hui continued, "So, instead of both sides getting hurt, it's better to shake hands and make peace. After all, it's an encore performance, not a serious competition, and both "The Magic of Love" and "Night Wind" are your own songs. You can sing any one of them, right?"

Han Xixi said nothing, but he knew in his heart that Sister Hui's analysis made sense.

Although she hasn't been online recently.

But staying at home, I could tell how harsh the insults online were just from my mother’s increasingly serious expression.

Yu Anan is one of the four new young actresses. She is currently very popular and has a huge fan base.

When it comes to popularity, Han Xixi is not inferior to her.

However, talented singers do not follow the traffic circle, and the majority of their fans are passers-by, and their stickiness is not high.

She is completely different from the popular young actresses like Yu Anan.

So if there really was a war of words online, Han Xixi would not be at the advantage at all, especially since she was the one who was in the wrong last time.

The plan Zhou Hui proposed now was entirely for her benefit.

If "Night Wind Glory" is really a good song, Han Xixi doesn't mind shaking hands and making peace. Just as Sister Hui said, they are all his songs, and it doesn't matter which one he sings.

But in fact.

The theme songs of ancient idol dramas all have the same tone, with a soft and weak style and pretentious lyrics. They are pleasant to listen to when paired with the plot, but are very average when listened to alone.

The quality of the song determines the upper limit, which cannot be reversed by the singer's ability.

So, even though it’s still my own song.

But Han Xixi felt that the song "Night Wind" was just average. In any case, it was comparable to "The Magic of Love" which she and Lin Xiao co-created.

So there was only a brief hesitation.

She made a decision: "No need to change, just sing "The Magic of Love"."

Zhou Hui was not surprised to hear this answer, but she still sighed.

"What about the bad reviews online?"

"Go ahead and curse me. You'll get used to it after listening to it for a while!"

"..."

Zhou Hui was helpless.

From the perspective of an agent, she doesn't like artists who are too stubborn.

But from her own perspective, she particularly admires Han Xixi's character and feels that she is much better than those artists in the entertainment industry who have no bottom line.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

……

the other side.

After sending his brother off, Lin Xiao went to work. When he arrived at the office, he first called the county magistrate's secretary Jia Kai to inquire about County Magistrate Liu's response to the Laoyashan development plan.

The answer I got was just two words: No!

"Did he not read it, or did he not give the approval?" He did not give up.

"nothing!"

Jia Kai said, "I went to his office this morning, and the request had been pushed under the old documents. It was obvious that he would neither approve nor reply to it!"

Although Lin Xiao guessed the result, he still felt inexplicably angry.

It’s said that this is the result of several days of hard work by Chaobai Town and the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, but the leader just threw it aside without saying a word after reading it?
We can just say no, but we should be polite, right?

Hearing him breathing heavily on the phone, Jia Kai couldn't help but persuade him, "Forget it! Laoya Mountain has such a bad reputation, it's still unclear whether it can be successfully developed. Once the leaders sign, the risk is too great. If there is any negative impact on public opinion, it's not your fault!"

Lin Xiao knew that this theory was wrong, but he was speechless.

As the old saying goes, if an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Although the development of Laoya Mountain is not something that can be decided by the people, it can, at a minimum, develop a village and benefit thousands of villagers. At a maximum, it can boost the tourism industry of the entire Chaobai Town, and the town's 5 people will benefit.

This good thing that anyone with a discerning eye can see was blocked by the word "influence", which made Lin Xiao unwilling to accept it no matter how hard he thought about it.

Finally, I made up my mind.

We drove directly to the county compound and went straight to the county governor's office.

It just so happened that Liu Wang was discussing something with others.

Lin Xiao waited for a while, and when he saw someone coming out, he immediately knocked on the door and went in.

"Hello, County Magistrate Liu, I am Lin Xiao, the deputy mayor of Chaobai Town!"

"Oh, Lin Xiao!"

Liu Wang looked at him in a daze for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, having guessed what he was here for.

She motioned for him to sit down and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Since Lin Xiao was here, he was mentally prepared.

He immediately repeated the contents of the request for the development of Laoya Mountain in detail, emphasizing the role that the development of this scenic spot would play in driving the town's tourism industry.

The five-minute report was clear and well-reasoned.

Liu Wang couldn't help but admire it and nodded.

Then he asked, "You came to me directly to report. Did Qin Zhenggang agree to this?"

Lin Xiao choked.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to drag Qin Zhen into the water.

"I'm sorry, County Master Liu. I was impulsive and came to report to you without asking for permission from Qin Zhen!"

he said sincerely.

Liu Wang's smile was unclear, but he admired the speed with which he admitted his mistake.

"Okay, go back first. When your town has thoroughly researched it, let Qin Zhenggang come to report!"

"..."

Lin Xiao thought he had studied it thoroughly.

But I also know that Liu Wang’s words have two meanings: first, as a deputy mayor, you are not qualified to report directly to me; second, I do not agree with this!

The leader’s words are so straightforward.

No matter how courageous Lin Xiao is, there is no need for him to continue making suggestions. It will only kick away the way out left for him by his leader and completely eliminate the last possible possibility of this matter. There will be no benefit at all!

So he said calmly: "Okay, County Liu, you are busy, I will leave first!"

Smile, nod, take two steps back and turn around, then go out and close the door gently, making almost no sound.

After the door closed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Kai is in the office opposite.

Seeing his expression, I knew that the failure of breaking into the palace was completely expected.

Invite him to eat rice noodles outside at noon.

Jia Kai said helplessly: "Well, I told you not to go, it's just a waste of time!"

Lin Xiao calmed down and said with a smile: "Although it was not successful, it was not completely without gain. At least I know that the county is not strongly opposed to the development of Laoya Mountain!"

Jia Kai frowned: "If you don't even approve this request, it doesn't count as strong opposition, right?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "As long as County Magistrate Liu doesn't annotate the word 'disagree', there's still hope for this matter!"

Jia Kai was speechless.

I worked as a secretary for the county magistrate for more than a year, handling more than a dozen requests and reports every day, but I had never seen the word "disagree"!

Not approving or replying means disagreement. Do I still need to write it down?

Those are not three words, that's a slap!

"You still don't give up?"

Jia Kai was speechless and even laughed out of anger, "I really admire you, you are so stubborn! Now that the county doesn't support you, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If the county doesn't support it, then find a way to get them to support it!"

Jia Kai's mouth twitched, wondering if he had said something nonsense.
I wanted to just let him go to bed.

But look at this guy's face, he looks calm and confident of winning.

Jia Kai couldn't help but become curious about his next move...
