Why Don't I Just Date Your Brother's Match Instead?

Developing a world all by himself meant facing countless difficulties and challenges. The thought of notifying Guo Jia flashed through Li Yang's mind, but it vanished just as quickly.

Guo Jia was good, and he loved her too, but... come on.

Li Yang chuckled and cast the thought aside. He stopped dwelling on it, merely thinking over what he might need next. Before long, the three had finished riding the drop tower and run off to line up for the next attraction.

The afternoon passed quickly. Li Yang kept his distance from thrilling roller coasters, so he spent about eighty percent of the time resting alone somewhere cool. Meanwhile, Liu Lili, Chen Qian, and Liu Lili's younger brother Liu Wu were having the time of their lives.

Before they knew it, the park was closing. The only unpleasant moment in between was Liu Wu mocking him for not even daring to ride a roller coaster, asking whether he was really a man. Other than that, nothing much happened.

But as far as Li Yang was concerned, this so-called blind date was over.

He could have overlooked it if Liu Lili had apologized on behalf of her younger brother, considering Liu Wu was her blind date's brother. But Liu Lili had shown no reaction at all, as if she had not heard it. Combined with how she had behaved all day, Li Yang's interest naturally faded away.

Once they walked out of the amusement park, he knew that whatever fate they had together ended there.

Before hailing a taxi, Li Yang glanced at Liu Wu and thought that if this brat ever dared bark at him again like he had today, it would not end so easily.

"Wait here for me a moment. I'm going to talk to him about something."

They had only been standing by the roadside for a short while when Liu Lili suddenly turned to her brother and Chen Qian, the girl in red who was on a blind date with her brother. After waving at them, she pulled Li Yang off to one side.

Li Yang raised an eyebrow. What did she have to say at a time like this?

But after thinking about it, he figured it was probably a rejection. As it happened, he felt the same way, so he followed her without caring much.

And why did he assume it was a rejection? Obviously, if a normal girl liked you, would she ignore your feelings all day like that?

After pulling Li Yang more than ten meters away, Liu Lili turned back to make sure the others could not hear them. Only then did she stop and release his hand. Nodding at him, she said, "I'm fairly satisfied with your performance today, but what happens in the future will depend on how you behave from now on. If your family wants us to get married soon, that's not impossible. But after we get married, you can't sleep in the same room as me without my permission. Does your family own any property?"

Li Yang: "?"

"I'm not talking about a house in the countryside. It doesn't have to be in Linhai City either, but it has to be in Heyang City. Your family needs to provide two homes and two new cars worth over two hundred thousand each. One home will be in my name, and the other will be in my brother's name."

Liu Lili seemed not to notice the question marks all over Li Yang's face. She calmly and confidently laid out her demands. "Did you see the girl beside my brother? Her requirements are one home in Heyang and one car. They've only just met, so they need that kind of material foundation to maintain their relationship."

"I think it's perfectly normal for me, as his older sister, to prepare a home for him. So when we get married, your family has to provide two homes and two cars. The homes must be in a good location in the new district, and the cars can't be too cheap either—two hundred thousand minimum. Otherwise, it won't look good to others."

"Of course, I mainly want these things to see your attitude, not because I want money. I hope you can show some responsibility and understand how difficult things have been for me."

Li Yang: "???"

"Oh, right. I want a bride price of six hundred thousand. I don't really care about it myself—if there's a home and a car, two hundred thousand for me is enough. But my brother and his blind date have only just met, and they need a material foundation to maintain their relationship, so there has to be two hundred thousand as a bride price, plus one hundred thousand for everyday expenses. My parents have worked hard all these years. As their daughter, I should show them filial respect, so give them one hundred thousand to subsidize their living expenses. You can understand that, right?"

Liu Lili stated every one of her demands. When she saw that Li Yang's expression remained utterly unchanged, she frowned. "You're not that great, but I can put up with it and accept you. Whether things work out in the future will depend on your own awareness and attitude."

"After all that, do you meet my conditions?"

Having said that, Liu Lili looked Li Yang up and down, her gaze full of doubt.

"..."

A bride price of six hundred thousand, plus two cars worth at least two hundred thousand each—that was one million.

Two homes in Heyang, in prime locations in the new district, cost around 1.2 million each. Two of them came to 2.4 million.

Altogether, that was 3.4 million.

Good grief. She was not here for a blind date—she was here to dream.

"The conditions really aren't much..."

Li Yang's expression was quite something, but for the current him, it really was not much.

But here was the problem: what were you to me now?

What gave you the right to ask me for so much?

Even if I had it, why should I give it to you?

"Sis, are you done talking?"

Li Yang had barely gotten halfway through his sentence when Liu Wu loudly interrupted from the other side. Liu Lili's eyes lit up, and a hint of a smile flashed through them. "From the way you dress, you don't look like you lack those conditions. Just as I thought—what kind of useless trash in their twenties doesn't have more than three million these days? Fine, you have my WeChat. Since you meet the conditions, you can contact me again tomorrow. As long as you behave well, I won't look down on you~"

Without waiting for Li Yang to finish the rest of his sentence, she waved her hand and turned to walk back to Liu Wu.

Li Yang's mouth twitched as he watched that freak leave, inwardly roasting her. You want one home and one car, and your brother's blind date wants one home and one car, and you're putting the whole bill on me?

So going on a blind date with you meant becoming some poor sucker?

If that was the case, why didn't I just date your brother's blind date instead? Then wouldn't both cars and both homes be mine?

At that thought, Li Yang looked at Chen Qian, the girl in red over there. His gaze swept over her fair legs and collarbone, and his eyes suddenly turned strange.

Maybe that wasn't impossible?

As if she sensed Li Yang's gaze, Chen Qian brushed the hair beside her fair ear back into place. Looking at Li Yang, she gave him a sweet smile.

Li Yang returned the smile, gripped his phone, and watched them leave. Then, without looking back, he hailed a taxi and headed to the residential complex where he lived.

Rather than give it to you, I might as well date your brother's blind date directly... The thought kept flashing through Li Yang's mind on the way back. He kept thinking of Chen Qian's fair cheeks, her collagen-filled legs, the blue socks on her slender ankles, and her little white sneakers, whose soles had been scrubbed spotless.

When the ride-hailing car reached the entrance to his residential complex and he returned to his room, he finally could not resist sending her a message: "Are you there? Do you have time to come out and chat alone? We can talk about the blind date 😁"

After sending the message, Li Yang had not expected to receive a reply immediately.

Chen Qian: Sure. Where?
