Marry a female star at a bargain price

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi talked until midnight.

The couple decided to have a serious talk with Lin Yu and find out what he was really thinking.

Lin Xiao's previous attitude was to let things take their course, neither supporting, opposing, nor interfering.

The situation is different now.

The whole family hoped they would be together, and the two teenagers also had a vague and ambiguous relationship. They went through many hardships to study in the same city.

If this still doesn't lead to a happy ending, even God won't allow it.

Lin Xiao previously thought the young couple was fine and didn't intend to interfere, nor did he allow his wife to get involved.

Ultimately, matters of the heart are best resolved by the individuals involved themselves.

Moreover, the hazy and ambiguous feeling is the most beautiful part of a relationship, and some people enjoy that feeling of being pulled in different directions.

If someone else finds out, they might resent you for meddling in other people's business!

Lin Xiao didn't want to be a dog, so he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

But now, after so much time has passed, the younger brother Lin Yu still refuses to take any action, and the unspoken understanding between the two remains unbroken.

Lin Xiao realized that his younger brother wasn't just trying to pull him along; he probably genuinely didn't know what to do!
Lin Xiao then decided: He had to step in and intervene!
He wanted to ask his younger brother what he really thought.

Don't ruin a relationship blessed by both sets of parents and relatives because of a moment's hesitation.

After all, he's reached Lin Xiao's age.

He truly realized that love is simple, and marriage is not that difficult. The real challenge is to find someone who can truly satisfy and receive blessings from both sets of parents.

Lin Yu must have stepped in tons of dog poop to have such a stroke of luck.

Even Lin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.

We must make sure my younger brother seizes this opportunity, or it will be against all reason.

……

The next morning.

Han Xixi suddenly received a WeChat message from her best friend Xie Xiaowei, who said she missed her.

This gave Xixi a big fright.

Xie Xiaowei lives alone year-round. She always warmly welcomes her good friends to visit, but when they are not together, she never takes the initiative to contact anyone, always afraid of bothering them.

This was the first time Xiaowei had ever taken the initiative to send Xixi a WeChat message, so how could she not be scared half to death?

In that instant, Xixi thought of all the terrifying and dangerous things, but still couldn't figure out why.

She quickly called Xiaowei.

Fortunately, the call connected, and Xie Xiaowei's calm and gentle voice came through.

Xi Xi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked Xiao Wei what had happened.

Xiaowei said it was nothing, she was just checking in on her.

Xixi felt something was off.

Despite repeated questioning, Xie Xiaowei only gave the same answer, and after a few words, she hung up the phone.

Xixi became increasingly puzzled and couldn't help but feel anxious.

After much deliberation, I decided to go to Ninghai to see Xiaowei in person before I could feel at ease.

Lin Xiao wanted to go with her, but Xi Xi said no.

“You’re a man, so if Xiaowei really has something to say, she definitely won’t be able to say it in front of you.”

Xi Xi said earnestly, "Jia Jia can come with me, you don't need to worry. Since you're home, you can play with Xiao Yu and Tian Tian."

Lin Xiao thought about it and felt that this arrangement was also suitable.

Although Chen Jiajia has a loud and boisterous personality, she is very cautious and competent as a manager. She has accompanied Han Xixi all over the country recently without any problems. She can be trusted at all.

The couple agreed to this arrangement.

After breakfast, Xixi set off for Ninghai.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother Lin Yu, but Liang Tian enthusiastically suggested that she go to Xingguang Town, where her brother-in-law works.

Lin Xiao asked, puzzled, "What's so interesting about that place? It's just a small mountain town with no scenery to speak of!"

Liang Tian didn't believe it.

"How could that be? I watched 'Back to the Good Life' and the scenery in it is so beautiful!"

"Uh..." Lin Xiao looked embarrassed. "You're just a young guy, why are you looking at this?"

"Look how you and my sister are showing off your love behind our backs!" Liang Tian said with a mocking smile.

"..."

Lin Xiao was speechless. "What do you mean by 'behind your backs'? It's like your sister and I are some kind of shady business!"

Liang Tian waved her hand impatiently: "That's not important! What's important is, are you taking me or not?"

Lin Xiao smiled wryly, "Taking you there is no problem, of course. But let me tell you in advance, the scenery in Starlight Town is really just average. The reason it looks good in the variety show is because of the good filters. Besides, there are only a few good spots in the whole town, and they've all been shown on the show. You'll definitely be disappointed when you get there!"

Liang Tian said dismissively, "Brother-in-law, you think it doesn't look good because you work there every day. I want to go because Xingguang Town is super popular right now. My classmates know I'm in Nanzhou and they all want me to go to Xingguang Town to take photos for them, especially the three little houses where you filmed your 'Rebirth' program... I have to fulfill my mission!"

Lin Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

I knew I was popular, but I never expected it to be this popular, even my sister-in-law came to join in the fun.

Unable to persuade them, he had no choice but to obey and told the two to get in the car and head straight for Xingguang Town.

"Okay~"

Liang Tian was so happy she jumped for joy, and set off with her pink backpack on.

This joy vanished completely before they even left the county town.

堵！
The traffic is terrible!

Many locals who have lived in Mashan County for most of their lives couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never seen anything like this before!" upon seeing the bustling scene of the city during the National Day holiday.

I never imagined that this small county town nestled in the mountains would experience traffic jams, and that they would be so completely blocked.

Locals: Now who can tell the difference between Mashan County and Shanghai?
People said that the massive traffic jam that affected the entire city was much more interesting than any scenic spot.

Liang Tian was so stuck in the passenger seat that she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Looking at the driver's seat, Lin Xiao had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the window, looking very relaxed.

"Brother-in-law, the traffic is so bad, how can you be so calm?" Liang Tian asked, puzzled.

Why can't I stay calm?

Lin Xiao chuckled slyly, "You said it yourself, Starlight Town is all the rage online right now, and there will definitely be a lot of tourists from all over the country coming to join the fun during the National Day holiday. With so many people, the roads will definitely be congested, which is to be expected. I can't help but feel a little uneasy!"

Liang Tian looked dejected and complained, "You knew there would be traffic... and you still brought us out!"

Lin Xiao became even more smug: "Sis, it wasn't my idea to bring you out, you were the one who begged and pleaded to come. I tried to persuade you, but you wouldn't listen, what could I do?"

"..."

Liang Tian was speechless after being rebuked, her eyes narrowed, and she looked resentful.

Thinking to myself: I never expected my brother-in-law to be so cunning. My sister married him... What a pitiful woman!

Sitting in the back row, Lin Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Brother, why don't we go back? We can go this afternoon or tomorrow!"

Before Lin Xiao could answer, Liang Tian interrupted him, her voice filled with resentment.

"We're already out, why would we go back?"

She glanced sideways at the back of the bus and said irritably, "If you don't want to go, you can get off now. Nobody's forcing you to go!"

Lin Yu looked completely innocent, thinking to himself, "I'm speaking up for you!"

He didn't know why the girl was suddenly so angry, and he didn't want to argue with her, so he obediently shut up.

Lin Xiao could see it clearly: his sister-in-law was using this as an excuse to make a fuss, still resentful about not getting a satisfactory answer when she tried to probe Lin Yu the night before.

This emotion is quite normal.

After all, young people of this age value face more than anything.

Especially since Liang Tian is a girl who has been pampered since childhood and never had to ask for anything, she has basically never experienced rejection.

Now, having finally mustered the courage, she secretly confessed her feelings to the boy she likes, hoping he would bravely take that step.

The response I received was one of feigning ignorance and avoiding the issue.

How could Liang Tian not be angry!

She was just using this as an excuse to say a few words to him, which is nothing. In fact, given her fiery temper, it would be good enough if she hadn't pinned Lin Yu to the ground and beaten him up.

Lin Xiao saw through it but didn't say anything. Deep down, he felt that his younger brother deserved it and that he wasn't wronged to be scolded.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the car, he said, "Don't worry, the map shows that only this one kilometer is heavily congested; the rest is fine. Once we leave the county town, I know there's a small road connecting all the villages to Xingguang Town. We'll be there within an hour. I won't let you waste the whole morning in the car!" Hearing this, Liang Tian's expression improved.

"My brother-in-law is really amazing!"

Liang Tian praised him, then added in a sarcastic tone, "He's much better than some people who only know how to back down!"

Lin Xiao was completely numb.

I almost gave my sister-in-law a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Well said!" That was a double entendre; she's such a sarcastic person!
……

Once outside the county seat, the national highway leading to Xingguang Town remained congested.

Fortunately, it wasn't completely blocked, so it was still possible to drive through.

Entering the territory of Xingguang Town.

Seeing that the long mountain road ahead was blocked by a long line of iron, Lin Xiao, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, turned the steering wheel and drove directly into the orchard, taking a shortcut into the nearby village. He then drove through the village, across the fields, and over the mountains, and sure enough, he arrived at the entrance of Dafeng Village within an hour.

"See? I kept my word, didn't I?" Lin Xiao got out of the car, looking smug.

"You promised, you promised..."

Liang Tian got out of the car, looking pale and sickly.

She was too exhausted to argue with anyone anymore; the gravel, mud, and dusty roads she had traveled on had almost knocked her breakfast out of her mouth.

Liang Tian felt as if all her internal organs had shifted; she wanted to vomit but couldn't, and wanted to swallow but couldn't.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps...

The sight of the three houses at the filming location of "Rebirth" made her feel that all the hardships along the way were worthwhile.

As expected, the village was packed with tourists from all over the country who came to take photos.

However, Liang Tian didn't care at all. She immediately regained her energy and excitedly jumped up and down on the spot.

"Brother-in-law, can you take a picture for me?" Liang Tian said.

"I?"

Lin Xiao glanced at his scruffy younger brother beside him, then pulled his mask and sunglasses even tighter over his face and laughed, "You know why these tourists come to Dafeng Village, don't you? If they find out I'm here, just imagine what that scene would be like?"

Liang Tian thought about it and realized it made sense, which made her feel a little disappointed.

"Just let him take the picture for you!"

Lin Xiao bumped into Lin Yu, who looked completely bewildered.

Liang Tian gave him a disapproving look and said, "Fine, I'll just take the pictures myself!"

Then she stormed off in a huff.

Lin Yu looked completely bewildered and went back to his car to sit down.

Lin Xiao: "???"

He was convinced, truly convinced!

What bizarre parents! How could they give birth to such a bizarre person? Oh, it's my parents, never mind!

"No, brother!"

Lin Xiao was so angry he was practically possessed.

Lin Yu frowned: Big brother? You can't make ethical jokes!

"What are you still sitting there for? Aren't you coming over?" Lin Xiao urged.

"Why go over there? She won't let me take pictures of her!" Lin Yu said helplessly.

"You won't take pictures just because she tells you not to?"

"if not?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was utterly speechless; he felt like dying.

He immediately abandoned his intention to matchmake the young couple and instead wondered: Is Liang Tian blind? How could she fall for such an idiot?

Lin Xiao forced a smile and said, "There are so many tourists in the village. What if she, a young girl, gets robbed or stolen from, or gets into a fight with someone?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression turned tense.

He was stunned for two seconds.

"Then I..."

"Hurry up and go!!"

"Oh, oh!"

Lin Yu caught up a beat late, and after taking a couple of steps, he quickly started jogging again.

Lin Xiao shook his head from behind.

This silly younger brother, will he even know how to have children after he gets married...? He won't expect his wife to take the initiative, will he?
He was helpless.

Now that things have come to this, Mayor Lin said he had done everything he could, and the rest was up to fate.

So he got back into the car, reclined the seat, and leisurely started playing on his phone.

Forget about National Day or traveling; nothing beats the pleasure of quietly playing on your phone for a while!

We played for about an hour.

He sat up straight and stretched, just in time to see Liang Tian returning in the distance, huffing and puffing, followed by a helpless-looking Lin Yu.

Lin Xiao knew that the two of them had quarreled again.

"What's wrong?" he asked quickly.

"Ask your dear younger brother!"

Liang Tian was furious and got into the car.

Lin Xiao then asked Lin Yu, who was following behind and panting, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yu said awkwardly, "I didn't do anything... It's just that there's a place in the village that sells freshly squeezed orange juice, and she wanted some, so I bought a cup. She took two sips and then refused to drink any more, offering me some. I told her I didn't like orange juice, that it was sour, and that I should throw it away. Then she said I was being disrespectful to her... Sigh..."

Lin Yu's face was filled with confusion and helplessness, wondering "Why do girls do this?"

After hearing the whole story, Lin Xiao felt dizzy and his vision went black.

It's over, it's over.

With my brother's low emotional intelligence, he's destined to be lonely for the rest of his life!
Still pursuing girls, dating, and getting married?

You should get a dog as soon as possible!

"Brother, I really didn't offend her this time. Orange juice is just sour, and you know I don't like drinking it, right?" Lin Yu felt genuinely wronged and sought reason from his older brother.

Lin Xiao patted his shoulder, shook his head, and sighed.

"Brother!"

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I'll find you the most luxurious nursing home in the future!"

"Ok?"

Lin Yu looked bewildered. "Why would you need to find a nursing home?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said loudly, "With your cursed fate, why would you need to go to a nursing home!"

Lin Yu was completely bewildered and speechless after being scolded, so he dejectedly got into the back seat.

Liang Tian overheard the brothers' conversation outside the window, and when she saw Lin Yu looking dejected in the rearview mirror, her previously irritable mood immediately improved.

It’s time to say it or not.

She especially enjoyed seeing Lin Yu get his comeuppance, and she also enjoyed bullying him and seeing his helpless expression.

It really is... quite cute!
Liang Tian stopped being angry in a second, raised her head with a proud look, and looked at the travel guide on her phone, thinking about her next destination.

At that moment, Lin Xiao received a phone call from Ge Tao, the deputy mayor of the town.

"Hey, Lao Ge."

"Mayor, where are you?" Ge Tao asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Lin Xiao immediately realized something was wrong, and his body tensed up instantly.

"I'm in Dafeng Village! What's wrong? What happened in town?"

"It's not in town!"

Ge Tao said anxiously, "It's Old Dong! Old Dong has had an accident in the county town!!" (End of this chapter)
