Chapter 8: The Marriage!
Lin Yi arrived at the living room on the first floor, where his parents were chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man with a square face.
"Haha, Third Brother, it's been two years since we last met, hasn't it? Let Xiaomei cook, and we'll have a good drink tonight."
Lin Zhidong laughed heartily, and it was clear that he was genuinely happy.
Sitting next to her, Xu Mei smiled and nodded repeatedly, handing the peeled peach to the girl next to her third brother, Xu Guojun. The girl accepted it with both hands politely, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guojun laughed heartily, "I've spent the past two years celebrating the Lunar New Year in the wilderness and haven't had a chance to come back. This time, I finally managed to come back with the team leader, so I came to visit."
"Don't let Xiaomei do anything, let's go out to eat, it's on me."
He patted his fanny pack, feigning smugness, and said, "This trip was quite fruitful; I'm not short of money!"
His smug look made Lin Zhidong and Xu Mei burst into laughter again.
Just then, Lin Yi came downstairs. Xu Guojun saw Lin Yi, his smile widened, and he waved to him.
"Look, the Lin family's prodigy has finally appeared! Xiao Yi, come here and let your third uncle take a good look at you."
Lin Yi felt a natural affinity for his third uncle, who had often taken him to play and bought him treats when he was a child, and quickly walked over.
"Hello, Third Uncle. Hello, Cousin Xingyue."
Although his third uncle was not his biological uncle, but an abandoned baby adopted by his maternal grandfather before the Great Nirvana, Lin Yi was closest to his third uncle among his mother's relatives.
Xu Xingyue stood up gracefully and greeted her cousin Lin Yi.
Xu Guojun patted Lin Yi happily, then turned to Lin's parents and said with emotion,
"Good, good. Back then, you two were too proud and refused my arrangements for you. Now that Xiaoyi has made something of himself, you two have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
When their son was mentioned, Lin Zhidong and Xu Mei both showed a proud smile.
Lin Yi is their pride.
Looking at the wrinkles on his parents' faces from their smiles, Lin Yi felt a pang of pain in his heart and thought to himself, "It's time for my parents to get some rest."
"I'll check later to see if there's any potion that restores youth. Once I'm stronger, I'll get some herbal spirits for my parents."
……
In the end, she didn't eat out. Xu Mei still insisted on cooking at home, sticking to her long-standing habit of saving money. She prepared a table of home-style dishes, and the taste was no worse than that of restaurants.
After the meal, Xu Xingyue helped Xu Mei clear the dishes, while Lin Zhidong accompanied Xu Guojun to drink tea in the living room.
"Zhidong, I've come here this time to ask you for a favor."
Xu Guojun took the teacup from Lin Yi and slowly began to speak.
Lin Zhidong, oblivious to the slight seriousness on Xu Guojun's face, readily agreed.
"Third Brother, you're being too formal. What's the matter?"
At this point, Lin Zhidong glanced at Lin Yi, who simply nodded with a smile.
Clearly, Lin Yi gave Lin Zhidong a strong sense of confidence.
Xu Guojun raised his chin and nodded to Xu Xingyue, who was busy in the kitchen.
"Xu Xingyue is getting older, and I'd like to entrust her to you two."
"You all know my profession. I've been risking my life for years to make a living. If something happens to me one day, I can go find her mother with peace of mind..."
Lin Yi's gaze sharpened as he looked at Xu Guojun and interjected,
"Uncle, have you encountered some trouble?"
Xu Guojun gave him the feeling of entrusting his children to someone on their deathbed, as if he had a premonition that his life was coming to an end.
Xu Guojun looked at Lin Yi, smiled slightly, and shook his head. "Xiao Yi, you are now a martial artist too. I won't hide it from you. When martial artists venture into the wilderness, in addition to being careful of hidden monsters, they must also be careful of humans."
"Human nature is treacherous!"
"My third uncle has been venturing into the wilderness with our team over the years, and it's inevitable that he's made enemies. Who knows when something might happen to him..."
"I'm all alone, and my biggest worry is this daughter. I just want her to grow up safe and healthy..."
Lin Zhidong, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Third Brother, stop talking. From now on, Xingyue is my daughter. As long as we have food, she will have a share."
Xu Guojun nodded gratefully to Lin Zhidong, then called over Xu Xingyue, who was busy in the kitchen, and pointed to Lin Zhidong and Xu Mei, saying...
"Xingyue, quickly call for Mom and Dad."
Before Lin's parents could speak, he pointed at Lin Yi and said to Xu Xingyue,
"Call me husband!"
As soon as Xu Guojun finished speaking, Lin Yi and his parents jumped up, their faces filled with shock.
"Third Brother, don't mess things up," Lin Zhidong said.
Xu Guojun firmly stated, "Xu Mei and I are not blood-related siblings, and Xingyue is not Lin Yi's cousin either. How can this be considered a breach of ethics?"
Lin Yi, who was stunned, immediately realized what was happening and said urgently, "Uncle, you mustn't be joking like that."
Xu Guojun looked at Lin Yi, "You look down on Xu Xingyue?"
Looking at Xu Xingyue, who stood there blushing and at a loss, Lin Yi simply couldn't bring himself to say the word "disdain."
"My dear mother and uncle, this matter is settled."
Xu Guojun's attitude was unexpectedly persistent and tough.
"Your third brother has never asked for anything before, but this time, I'm begging you!"
As he spoke, he actually tried to stand up and perform a grand salute!
Upon seeing this, Lin Zhidong and Xu Mei's expressions changed drastically. They jumped to their feet and helped Xu Guojun up, saying, "Third Brother, we accept Xingyue as our wife!"
After saying that, Xu Mei pulled the bewildered Lin Yi and said urgently,
"Xiao Lin, aren't you going to come and greet your father-in-law?"
……
Early the next morning,
Lin Yi was awakened by a slight noise.
Before her eyes was a slender, fair-skinned figure, Xu Xingyue was changing out of her bathrobe and getting dressed.
Their eyes met.
"Ah~!"
Xu Xingyue blushed crimson, like a steamed crab.
Last night, at Xu Guojun's insistence, Lin Yi and Xu Xingyue slept in the same room.
But Lin Yi wasn't a beast, and Xu Xingyue was not yet 18 years old; they simply slept in each other's arms.
Now, although we are husband and wife in name, last night's sleep, while not "meat-eating," was definitely not "vegetarian."
But I still can't stand being completely honest with someone.
"You can sleep a little longer. I'll have someone buy you some breakfast outside."
Lin Yi took the initiative to break the awkward silence and got up to go downstairs.
Xu Xingyue watched Lin Yi go downstairs with her beautiful eyes, then patted her delicate chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she and Lin Yi were very familiar with each other, they had previously been like cousins, but now they were husband and wife.
Although I don't dislike this cousin, the change is so drastic that it's hard to adapt to for a while.
……
Lin Yi went downstairs and learned from his parents that Xu Guojun had left behind 1 million Chinese yuan and left in a hurry last night.
"It seems my third uncle might have gotten himself into a lot of trouble."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then went to the study, fiddled with the documents, and left a message for Zhuge Tao, asking him to keep an eye on whether his third uncle, Xu Guojun, had gotten into any trouble.
Although he had only met Zhuge Tao once, Lin Yi believed that with his status as a super genius junior general, Zhuge Tao would be willing to help him within his power.
Even if Xu Guojun married Xu Xingyue to him, Lin Yi would definitely lend a helping hand if Xu Guojun encountered trouble.
As expected, Zhuge Tao readily agreed to help with the investigation.
Lin Yi felt relieved.
With Zhuge Tao, one of the three giants of the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall, stepping in, it's believed that the trouble caused by Xu Guojun, who only has the strength of a junior warrior, is not a real problem.
