Morning Star

"Hey, you little brat." Chu Chengyu cursed angrily, and then looked at Yang Wanqing, "Listen, honey, he blames me."

So Yang Wanqing immediately glared at Chu Shiyi: "I gave birth to you just to be a foil for your father, what's wrong, is there a problem?"

She raised her neck as if she was going to slap him in the face if he dared to say no.

How could Chushi dare to do that? He quickly lowered his head and pouted his lips in grievance, saying, "No problem, you are right."

He subconsciously glanced at Chujiu, and sure enough, he saw her gloating, her mouth almost breaking from laughing.

So he added: "So, I am just a foil for mom."

Yang Wanqing was stunned for a moment.

Chujiu didn't feel wronged at all, but was proud: "I am willing to be a foil for my mother."

It's like punching cotton.

Chushi rolled his eyes at Chujiu and stopped talking, because if he continued to talk, he would be beaten.

Bai Yue'er looked at the faces of several people. After this commotion, she also figured out the personalities of Yang Wanqing, Chu Chengyu and Chu Shisan.

She glanced at the storage box that Chu Chengyu had placed on the table, intentionally bringing the topic to that.

But when he spoke, he looked as if he had just remembered something: "By the way, Wanqing and Chengyu, I forgot to introduce you earlier. This box is called a storage box in our place."

After her guidance, everyone present turned their eyes to the storage box.

Chu Chengyu, Yang Wanqing and Chu Shisan all looked curious.

After seeing Bai Yue'er's current form and the situation on Chujiu before, and after their favorable impression of Bai Yue'er and her son skyrocketed, they already felt that this box held a secret.

Bai Yueer continued: "Although it is small, it can hold a lot of things. And the things put inside can be preserved forever and will not go bad."

Chu Chengyu took a breath and explored: "Is it really so magical?"

Bai Yueer smiled and said, "I'm saying this, but you definitely can't understand it. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel it deeply. Why don't you open it and take a look?"

she asked tentatively.

Chu Chengyu looked at Yang Wanqing beside him and hesitated for a moment. He picked up the box only after getting Yang Wanqing's consent.

The moment the box was opened, a gentle white light slowly lit up. They felt that they saw a lot of things, and the vision inside was wide, which seemed completely inconsistent with the actual size of the box.

There were many boxes inside the box. They wanted to see what was in the boxes, and then the next second the boxes opened automatically as they wished.

There are all kinds of jewelry, gold, silver, medicinal herbs, elixirs, spiritual weapons, etc., and even clothes.

It's a bright and shining sight.

However, when Bai Yueer saw those clothes, her eyes twitched.

This silly son, how can you give clothes as a betrothal gift? Wouldn't it be better to just count it as betrothal money?

"Oh my god, has my brother-in-law emptied out all the family assets?" Chushi sighed as he looked at the boxes of things in front of him.

I have a rich brother-in-law, he's so wealthy.

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Chengyu and Yang Wanqing: "I didn't know what to give as a betrothal gift, so I took whatever I could."

After a pause, he said seriously, "I know that these are far less than the efforts my father-in-law and mother-in-law have put in to raise Jiuer, so I will prove that I am worthy of my father-in-law and mother-in-law entrusting Jiuer to me."

After Chu Chengyu looked at the contents of the box, he put the box back on the table without closing it.

He sighed, sat up straight, and put on a serious expression.

In the end, it all comes back to this.

Mo Xinglan was always nervous. He had only relaxed a little when Bai Yue'er was talking to Chu Chengyu and Yang Wanqing. But now, seeing Chu Chengyu suddenly become serious, he became nervous again.

Compared to him, Bai Yue'er seemed much calmer. After all, she had lived for hundreds of years and had seen many times more things than him.

Yang Wanqing also sat up straight, and her expression became slightly more serious.

He looked at Chu Chengyu.

The couple have been together for so many years that they understand each other's thoughts without having to say some things.

Yang Wanqing thought for a moment, looked at Mo Xinglan, then looked at Bai Yueer and said gently: "We are quite satisfied with Xinglan."

Hearing this, Mo Xinglan finally let go of the worry in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Bai Yue'er remained in the same mood and smiled slightly: "Yes, I know."

She didn't hear it wrong. What Wanqing just said was "quite satisfied". The word "quite" has more meanings.

As expected, Yang Wanqing looked at Mo Xinglan and said, "Xinglan, let me ask you a question."

Mo Xinglan lifted up what he had just put down. The up and down movement made his nerves tense, causing his head to ache and feel dizzy, and his chest to ache.

But he hid it very well, took a breath slowly and then exhaled slowly: "You say."

There was nothing unusual in his voice, but his hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly. He could not control the cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was pale.

In the eyes of Yang Wanqing, Chu Chengyu and Chu Shi, this seemed to be caused by being too nervous. But Chu Jiu and Bai Yue'er knew that it was caused by his injuries.

Bai Yue'er saw it and felt pain in her heart but she didn't say much.

If you want to win the beauty, you have to pay something. It is impossible for Bai Yue'er's son to be unable to bear this.

But Chujiu didn't think so. He opened his mouth to ask Mo Xinglan to come over and sit down, but before he could say anything, Yang Wanqing took the lead.

"How old are you... this year?" Yang Wanqing asked this question in a soft voice.

But the meaning of the words is obvious.

Mo Xinglan heard it, his lips trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes: "I will be twenty years old in eight months."

Chu Shi, who was standing by, gasped after hearing this. It was incredible, she was actually a few months younger than him.

Chu Chengyu and Yang Wanqing couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this. They were prepared, but they still couldn't accept the answer after knowing it.

Bai Yue'er saw everything and sighed secretly.

There is really no way to do this.

And for Mo Xinglan, every second of these few seconds of silence was like a fish on a chopping board, which was extremely painful.

Chujiu didn't feel much better after hearing this.

Finally, in the torment of the two, Chu Chengyu couldn't help but speak: "That means you are only nineteen years old now."

Mo Xinglan's body trembled slightly: "...Yes."

Yang Wanqing sighed and said softly, "Xinglan, do you know how old men and women have to be to get married here?"

"...I know." He replied softly.

The hands at his sides were clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.

What can he do?

Yang Wanqing nodded, thought for a moment, and looked at Chu Chengyu.

Chu Chengyu received the gaze and remained serious: "Although I don't know what it's like in your place, you are here now. Here, at your age, you are still a college student like Xiao Shi, and you are still a child."

"..."

He lowered his eyes and pursed his pale lips.

He is no longer a child.

Bai Yueer was slightly stunned after hearing this, and lowered her eyes. The smile she had been maintaining gradually faded.

Yes, Lan'er, you are still a child.

At his age, he is considered a child in this world, and is just a baby in Hualing or even in the Demon Realm.

Seeing that he was silent, Chu Chengyu asked, "Do you know what marriage means? Do you know the responsibilities on your shoulders?"

Mo Xinglan raised her drooping eyelashes slightly, her eyes firm: "I know. Although I am a little young, I know what it means to get married, and I also know the responsibilities I have to bear."

After a pause, he added: "I also know that words are not enough. I will prove it with actual actions."

Chu Chengyu and Yang Wanqing's expressions finally eased a lot.

Proving with actions is more effective than making any promises.

Seeing that the two were finally persuaded, Chujiu struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, Mom and Dad, there is still plenty of time. If you are worried about him, you will get to know him during this time. Besides, he is not the kind of person who makes promises casually. He always keeps his word."

What kind of personality is she? As parents, what don't Chu Chengyu and Yang Wanqing know? Naturally, they knew that she took the opportunity to say it. But in their hearts, they really felt that she was right.

Chu Chengyu looked at Yang Wanqing beside him, then at Mo Xinglan: "Young man, let me tell you, although you and Xiaojiu are already married, you can't just marry my daughter. Now, it depends on whether you can pass this test."

After hearing this, Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment, and finally he let go of the worry in his heart and looked much more relaxed.

Bai Yue'er smiled slightly and felt relieved.

Mo Xinglan was afraid that Chu Chengyu would not agree if he was slow to react, so he nodded quickly: "I will definitely perform well to satisfy you and my mother-in-law."

"Yeah." Chu Chengyu nodded.

At this time, Yang Wanqing smiled and said, "Okay, don't stand there. Sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to say."

"Yeah." Mo Xinglan replied and walked towards the sofa.

But once this person relaxed, all kinds of bad things happened. He just took a step and felt dizzy. His chest hurt as the world spun, and a familiar sweet taste came out of his mouth.

"Lan'er!"

"Star!"

Chujiu was right next to him. Seeing him fall, he reflexively hugged him and slowly slid down to the ground.

Bai Yue'er flew to the two of them, her eyes full of worry.

This also scared Chu Chengyu, Yang Wanqing and Chu Shi.

"what happened?"

Chu Chengyu reacted quickly and asked first.

When he saw the blood on the corner of Mo Xinglan's mouth, his heart trembled. He quickly picked up the phone and punched in the numbers while muttering, "Call 120."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yang Wanqing reacted.

Chushi came over and tried to help Chujiu lift him onto the sofa, but then he heard Chujiu say, "Don't hit me!"

Just kidding, his body is different from that of ordinary people, and the injuries he suffered are not something that doctors can cure. Moreover, his blood is sweet, which can easily cause trouble.
