Marry a female star at a bargain price

Midday on the moon.

in the living room.

Liang Tian ate so much mooncake and fruit that she was stuffed, and suddenly stopped looking at the moonlight outside the window.

Lin Yu, who was fighting with Youzi, also stopped and looked at the moon outside the window along with her.

Not far away, the gossipy young couple Lin Xiao and Han Xixi were both peeking over with their butts sticking out.

Liang Tian and Lin Yu watched for a long time.

"Lin Yu," Liang Tian suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

"Look how beautiful the moon is tonight!"

She said suddenly.

Before Lin Yu could react to those words, Lin Xiao, who was peeking from ten meters away, was incredibly excited. He gasped and his hips swayed like a windmill.

Xi Xi, standing next to him, looked puzzled.

Afraid he would expose her, she quickly covered his mouth and whispered scoldingly, "What are you doing?"

Lin Xiao lowered his voice but couldn't hide his excitement: "A confession! Your sister is confessing to my brother!"

Han Xixi was completely confused.

"She just said 'The moonlight is beautiful,' what kind of confession is that? Did I mishear her?"

"'The moonlight is beautiful' means confessing your love!"

"Huh? There's such a saying?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was so anxious that he spun around in place, his buttocks twisting like a fan.

This is certainly a valid claim.

But then it suddenly occurred to him that this was Blue Star, not Earth, and there really wasn't such a subtle confession trope here.

Or rather, it's not this sentence, but rather a story or allusion.

Xixi, of course, had no idea, so she couldn't understand Lin Xiao's excitement at all.

Lin Xiao was both excited and helpless, experiencing the loneliness of a time traveler for the first time.

Although he believed that Liang Tian, ​​who had just uttered that famous line, did not understand its meaning, the fact that such a beautiful girl could utter such a sigh in this situation, under this moon and at this time, was enough to prove her feelings for the handsome young man next to her.

Although the plots are different, the sentiments are exactly the same.

Lin Xiao firmly believed this.

He was sticking his butt out and twisting anxiously, waiting to hear his silly younger brother's answer, hoping in his heart that he wouldn't disappoint him.

Then Lin Yu said blankly, "Uh... it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon must be beautiful!"

Lin Xiao: "???"

My vision went black, and I almost fainted.

This silly boy is hopeless, utterly hopeless.

Liang Tian wasn't exactly disappointed by Lin Yu's answer; she hadn't expected him to spout anything of substance anyway!
She turned her gaze away from the Moon Palace and looked across at the opposite side.

Lin Yu felt the burning gaze, looked over, and then shyly looked away.

"Lin Yu," Liang Tian called out confidently.

"Ah... ah?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Liang Tian asked seriously, "Is this considered an open secret?"

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi finally connected via Bluetooth and realized the girl's feelings for him, and they were both very excited.

However, opposite Liang Tian, ​​Lin Yu's face was flushed in the moonlight. After hesitating for a long time, he finally just scratched his head and asked, "Say...say what?"

Liang Tian was disappointed, and then got angry: "Fine, don't tell me then!"

After saying that, he got up angrily, stomping his feet loudly on the living room floor, using this rude sound to wait for the boy to stop him.

But nothing came of it.

Liang Tian got even angrier, went into the room, and slammed the door shut.

"Bang" sound.

In the living room, only Lin Yu remained, lost in thought.

After staring at Liang Tian's door for a long time, he finally looked away, broke off a segment of the peeled pomelo, and put it in his mouth.

"Ouch..."

His teeth ached from the sourness, and his facial features contorted.

not far away.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi pulled back and closed the door.

"Serves you right! I'll make you sick of sourness!"

Lin Xiao paced back and forth in the room in anger. The way he acted made it seem like he was the one who hadn't received a response to his confession, not Liang Tian.

Xi Xi laughed when she saw this: "No, why are you so excited?"

Lin Xiao retorted indignantly, "Did I get agitated?"

Xi Xi suppressed a laugh: "Aren't you excited? These young people are just tentatively testing the waters, nothing's happened yet, and you, an outsider, are singing and dancing like this... How can you be so shameless?"

Lin Xiao was speechless, having his secret exposed.

Xi Xi, however, was in a great mood.

She married a perfect husband, and he's always the one criticizing and mocking her from his moral high ground. Today, she finally got her chance.

She leaned closer and said with a mischievous smile, "Mayor Lin, that's not right of you. You're allowing officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people to light lamps?"

Lin Xiao frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xi Xi said, "How could there not be? Before, I was wholeheartedly trying to bring Xiao Yu and Tian Tian together, and you criticized me every day, saying that these things should be left to nature and let the parties involved resolve them themselves, and that outsiders shouldn't interfere. Now that I've changed my mind and don't care anymore, you're all concerned and anxious, and you're even here like a peeping tom. Isn't this a case of 'the magistrate is allowed to set fires while the common people are forbidden to light lamps'?"

Lin Xiao was speechless after his secret was exposed.

"Uh……"

"Uh what? I caught you red-handed!" Xi Xi was quite pleased with herself.

"of course not!"

"Huh? Still trying to deny it?!"

"Even if you're going to try to argue, you should at least try to argue first. My wife, would you like to hear my twisted logic first?" Lin Xiao smiled obsequiously.

Xi Xi sat down on the edge of the bed, her smile haughty: "I'll give you a chance, explain yourself!"

Lin Xiao sat down and, while massaging the old lady's legs, whispered in her ear, "The reason I didn't let them get too involved before was because the feelings between these two kids are still unclear. As family members, if we forcefully interfere, it's easy to complicate things. If they really like each other, that's fine, but what if they don't, or if we force them together and they break up later? That would be so awkward, wouldn't it? After all, even if they don't become a couple, their blood ties with us won't be severed, and they'll still be relatives. We'll see each other all the time during holidays... right?"

Han Xixi nodded and said, "I know that, and I listened to it, so I stopped getting involved in their affairs! But why are you so concerned now?"

Lin Xiao said seriously, "Things are different now. Their intentions are quite obvious; it's like two peas in a pod falling for each other..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched hard.

Xi Xi said disdainfully, "They are a handsome and beautiful couple, a perfect match. They could star in a teen idol drama together. How come you make it sound so awful?"

Lin Xiao slapped himself twice: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! What I meant was, the young people are obviously in love, they're just one step away from making it official!"

Xi Xi nodded, then frowned and said, "They have to come up with it themselves, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that someone else is!"

Upon hearing this, Xixi became interested but also very puzzled.

"Someone? Who else could it be but themselves?" "Guess!" Lin Xiao kept them in suspense.

"..."

Xi Xi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out who else could be more anxious than the parties involved and these two bystanders.

She couldn't guess what was going on, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She then reached out and pinched her husband's waist.

Lin Xiao screamed in pain.

"Speak up now!!" the tigress roared.

"Speak, speak, I'll tell you!"

Lin Xiao quickly dodged aside and hurriedly revealed the answer, "It's your aunt and uncle!"

This answer truly astonished Xixi.

"what?!"

"Um!!"

"You...you're kidding, right?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"..."

Xi Xi was speechless.

She looked at her husband, and he certainly didn't seem to be talking nonsense, but she just couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.

As parents of a girl, they should be very cautious, sensitive, and resistant to their daughter dating. So why did my aunt and uncle find a husband for their daughter so quickly, and even hope that they would get together sooner than the girls themselves?

Xi Xi didn't understand.

"How do you know what my aunt and uncle think?" she asked curiously.

"Your mom told me!"

"My mom?" Xixi was even more surprised. "How did my mom know?"

"nonsense!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and immediately pinched his wife's chubby cheek. "Of course, it was your aunt who told her!"

Xi Xi patted her forehead.

I was so shocked that I asked such a stupid question.

"No! This... how is this possible? My aunt and uncle have never met Lin Yu, have they?"

“How could I not have seen it before!”

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Just the month before last, Lin Yu and the others went to Jingzhou for several days at Liang Tian's invitation, and they stayed at Liang Tian's house."

Xi Xi remembered this and nodded in realization.

Then she realized that this was too far-fetched and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "So, my aunt and uncle only met Lin Yu once and spent a few days with him, but they decided that he was the one they wanted to be their son-in-law?"

Lin Xiao said helplessly, "Then what else do you want? Is that silly kid... really that hard to see through?"

Xi Xi was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed.

That's not hard to see through. This young man is the easiest person she's ever seen through in her life. He's simple, reserved, and kind, cleaner than a blank sheet of paper.

Seeing that his wife was completely dumbfounded, Lin Xiao stopped beating around the bush and said with a smile, "Let me tell you about your aunt and uncle's thought process!"

Xi Xi's eyes lit up as she sat cross-legged, listening attentively.

"Your uncle is very successful in his career. He is definitely middle class in Jingzhou. His family assets may not be over 100 million, but they are definitely tens of millions!"

Lin Xiao said earnestly, "Although they have another son, my aunt's husband is a doting father to his daughter. He once said in a casual conversation that the family fortune would be split equally between the son and daughter, and he would never let his daughter suffer a loss. You must have heard that before, right?"

Xi Xi nodded.

As an only child, she is keenly able to discern whether her parents' love for her is genuine or merely a facade.

Liang Bin, Liang Tian's uncle, absolutely dotes on his daughter from the bottom of his heart, not to mention his aunt Liu Lixia. The couple spoiled Liang Tian from a young age, giving her whatever she wanted.

Lin Xiao continued, "According to your aunt's husband's plan, this tens of millions of assets are intended to be given to Liang Tian as her dowry when she gets married. But there is a problem. What if Liang Tian finds an unreliable husband, or they get divorced later due to incompatibility? Wouldn't all the hard work that the two of them have put in for half their lives just go to outsiders?"
"So, my aunt's husband's criteria for choosing a son-in-law has always been: honest, reliable, and most importantly, genuinely like his daughter. Listen to these criteria, it's like they were tailor-made for Lin Yu. The key is that this young man is not bad-looking, and even more importantly, Liang Tian herself likes him... Tell me, how could your aunt and uncle not be secretly laughing under the covers and trying to solidify the relationship between these two young people?"

After hearing this explanation, Xixi finally understood.

Lin Xiao continued, "Besides, Lin Yu is my younger brother. If he and Liang Tian can get married, our two families will be even closer, which is great! Even if Lin Yu has any bad intentions in the future, I can take care of him without Liang Tian having to lift a finger. It's like double insurance for my aunt and uncle. If you were them, you would be willing too!"

Xi Xi nodded.

She might not have understood her parents' good intentions before, but now she is a mother herself, and the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy is also her precious daughter.

Although Ms. Lin Xiaoxi is not yet one year old.

But as a mother, Xixi had already planned out everything for her daughter's future countless times in her mind.

Parents who love their children will surely plan far ahead for them.

I had only heard this before, but now I truly understand its meaning.

Therefore, she fully understood her aunt and uncle's good intentions at this moment.

"Uh..." Xixi was too embarrassed to ask.

Lin Xiao understood and laughed directly, "You want to ask why your aunt and uncle don't look down on Lin Yu for being poor, right?"

Xi Xi scratched her head awkwardly: "That's not what I meant! I never use that to judge others, but in this society, most people still use family background as a rigid standard..."

Lin Xiao laughed and pinched his wife's cheek.

“I know you’re not that kind of person, you don’t need to explain so seriously.”

Lin Xiao sighed, "If you were the kind of person who only cares about the poor and loves the rich, you wouldn't have been with me in the first place. After all, you were already a big star back then, while I was just an ordinary civil servant. You didn't even know that I was a big shot in the music industry behind a mask!"

Xi Xi gets angry whenever she thinks about it; she was kept in the dark by this guy for a long time.

Lin Xiao said seriously, "According to our mother's retelling, my uncle's original words were: 'Looking at Liang Tian, ​​she's not the type to be ambitious in the future. We don't expect her to rise through the ranks or achieve great things. We'll just leave her a substantial fortune enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life.'"

"Correspondingly, you shouldn't look for a husband who is too ambitious. These days, the stronger the ambition, the worse it is. He'll lose money on every investment, and even the richest family can't withstand such extravagance. Marrying someone of equal social standing is utter nonsense!"
"With their wealth, any couple of similar social standing would either raise a playboy or a mama's boy, and my uncle wouldn't even look at them. Even if they did have someone of good character, they'd definitely be unwilling to settle for mediocrity and would end up starting a business that would wipe out their entire fortune. Why bother? It's better to find someone law-abiding and live a simple life than anything else!"

Xi Xi listened and wholeheartedly agreed.

My aunt's husband's idea surprisingly coincided with her own when she was thinking about potential marriage partners for her daughter.

This is what parents truly care about for their children.

At this point, she finally believed that her aunt and uncle truly approved of Lin Yu and agreed that the two young people should be together.

And now I finally understand why, when Liang Tian and Lin Yu were bickering and playing around at home tonight, the adults were just watching the show with a sense of amusement, completely without the tension, defensiveness, and embarrassment they had felt before.

It seems that everyone in the family, young and old, approves of their relationship and sincerely hopes that these two adorable children can confess their feelings soon and get together smoothly.

From this perspective, Liang Tian and Lin Yu are very lucky.

They haven't even officially confessed their feelings yet, but they've already received all the blessings from both sets of parents, relatives, and friends—it's practically a fairytale.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but envy his younger brother, marveling that he was truly a fool with good fortune.

Mingming's life for the first seventeen years was quite ordinary.

Now, he has a wealthy older brother who has gained both fame and fortune, a beautiful and lovely wealthy girlfriend who is infatuated with him, and he has also inexplicably won the hearts of his wealthy parents-in-law.

He did nothing and effortlessly possessed everything; he's an absolute winner in life.

As long as you don't do anything reckless for the rest of your life, it'll be like living the life of a god.

Lin Xiao thought about it and even felt a little envious.

The only problem now is that Lin the Fool himself is so stubborn about not breaking through this barrier.
Lin Xiao had previously thought that his younger brother was just experiencing his first crush and didn't know how to act.

But just now, Liang Tian's probing was so obvious that even a fool could understand what the girl was thinking.

Lin Yu didn't respond.

This made Lin Xiao realize that the problem was not simple.

"This little fool, there's definitely something fishy going on!" (End of Chapter)
