Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

After settling Jiang Jinshi and Lu Mingyu, Zhao Yanshu and Chen Su walked down the open-air garden and saw the two people hugging each other from a distance.

Zhao Yanshu abruptly stopped, blocking Chen Su’s steps. “Wait!”

Chen Su asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

His gaze drifted over, and he immediately understood, feeling even more anxious. “Hurry over quick! Your precious best actor is about to have some intimate moments!”

Zhao Yanshu muttered, “Oh my, they finally embraced. The heavens have blessed us.”

Chen Su urged, “What are you saying? Quickly go and stop them. Women who fall in love are all tigresses!”

Zhao Yanshu intercepted him. “Those who fall into the tiger’s den don’t resist. Stop being excited and go home and get some sleep!”

Chen Su wanted to say something more but was forcefully dragged away by

Zhao Yanshu.

Jiang Yanzhou released her and his low voice, tinged with a hint of hoarseness, chuckled. “If you say it’s not, then it’s not.”

Lu Yang was baffled.

The shadow on the ground became faint, and the man in front of her had a sense of arrogant paleness.

In this brief silence, a touch of displeasure crept into Lu Yang’s expression. This displeasure didn’t dissipate because her brother intoxicated him.

He gave her a feeling of indebtedness.

She didn’t like this feeling.

Although there was indeed a debt—both she and Lu Mingyu wanted to use him to protect their loved ones—this current sense of indebtedness was different from before.

The displeasure was apparent, yet he was the one who got drunk because of her brother.

Forget it.

Someone had to clean up the mess left by her brother.

Lu Yang spoke with an almost inaudible sigh, “I’ll make you a bowl of soup to sober up.”

Jiang Yanzhou’s lips curved into a helpless arc.

He knew that she wasn’t someone who only cared about emotions.

Her passion was all poured into medicine.

This passion occasionally bewildered others, but in his eyes, it was pure. Jiang Yanzhou was worldly-wise without losing her innocence.

“I’m not drunk.” Jiang Yanzhou’s voice carried a hint of a smile, and her tone was affectionate. “You’re here as an honored guest, not as a caregiver. Do you want to have a late-night snack?”

Lu Yang looked up, and from this angle, she could see the drifting clouds and the bright moon in the sky. He had a detached air about him.

She said in an unquestionable tone, “Have a bowl of noodles with me.”

Although Jiang Yanzhou had drunk quite a bit, he had a good tolerance for alcohol, and the alcohol content wasn’t high. He quickly regained his sobriety.

Lu Yang didn’t have the habit of assisting someone in the kitchen. He took the initiative to cook, and Lu yang sat obediently to the side, occasionally glancing at his busy figure.

While waiting, Pei Yiwu called her on a voice call.

Pei Yiwu: “Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Darling Yangyang!”

“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.” Hearing the sweet and not cloying voice, Jiang Yanzhou smiled lightly.

“Ah, I’m not happy at all. I read a novel today that made me even more nauseous than the lousy mooncakes this year.”

“What happened?”

“Just imagine, the male lead proposed to the female lead by putting the ring on his tongue, passionately kissing her, and then pushing the ring onto her tongue. It’s absolutely disgusting,” Pei Yiwu exclaimed, taking deep breaths. Jiang Yanzhou agreed, “It’s definitely nauseating.”

“Yeah!” Suddenly, Jiang Yanzhou’s voice came through, saying, “Give me five minutes.”

Pei Yiwu blinked rapidly in surprise and asked, “Wait, that voice doesn’t sound like your brother’s, does it?”

“No, it’s Jiang Yanzhou’s,” Lu Yang replied truthfully.

“So, you’re spending the Mid-Autumn Festival together!” Pei Yiwu exclaimed.

“Yeah, along with my brother and a few others, including our manager,” Lu Yang confirmed.

Pei Yiwu suddenly raised her voice, “Blue face, blue face, add some yellow and it turns green!”

Lu Yang was puzzled, “What are you talking about?”

“Isn’t Jiang Yanzhou your blue face?” Pei Yiwu said, “If you’re with Jiang Yanzhou, then Jin Yao’s head will turn green, won’t it?”

Lu Yang was confused.

“That’s what everyone says online, that Jiang Yanzhou is your adult blue-faced confidant, while Jin Yao is your crush from your youth,” Pei Yiwu explained.

The long silence made Pei Yiwu immediately realize that everything said online was false.

“I just heard it from others,” she turned over, burying her face in the pillow, her voice muffled, “But, Lu Yang, did you really not date anyone in high school?”

“Why would I have dated someone early on?” Lu Yang asked.

“For example, a good-looking top student helping a silly girl with her homework, or a boy getting jealous when he sees a girl asking other boys for help and arrogantly saying, ‘Don’t get too close to other guys, am I just a decoration? If you have any questions, ask me!’ And then they end up together.” Pei Vinni exnlained-

Lu Yang felt that her brother and Pei Yiwu would get along well, one deeply immersed in dramas and the other completely engrossed in novels. Lu Yang said, “Someone did say something similar to me before.”

Pei Yiwu eagerly asked, “And then what happened?”

“And then, I gave them some competition problems, and they realized it was too difficult and gave up,” Lu Yang replied.

Pei Yiwu was speechless.

It turns out Lu Yang was the genius who would say, “Am I just a decoration?

Ask me!”

Love died a premature death.

A message popped up on the screen, and Pei Yiwu clicked on it and glanced at it. “Speak of the devil, the devil has arrived.”

Lu Yang asked, “Huh?”

“Jin Yao just tweeted a post. Let me show you,” Pei Yiwu said.

Lu Yang didn’t intend to open it, but Pei Yiwu sent a screenshot, so she could see it without opening the picture.

@Jin Yao: Every year at this time, I feel like this bottle of grape juice is more romantic than any moon. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my dream.

The accompanying picture showed him sitting in an off-road vehicle, holding a bottle of aged grape juice.

Immediately after, Pei Yiwu sent a few comments she had captured.

“It’s that time ofyear when Jin Ye’s heartache comes again!”

“In the past few years, Jin Yao only used to post grape wine. Now he’s actually posting grapejuice! Is he reminiscing about his youth?!”

“Damn it, I checked, this beverage bottle is from many years ago and has long been discontinued. Jin Yao actually kept it until now!”

“Yangyang, Jin Yao is definitely confessing to you!” Pei Yiwu asked curiously, “Did he express anything tonight?”

. No,” replied Lu Yang.

Jin Yao somehow found her contact information and sent a friend request, but she anticipated that he would be too noisy, so she didn’t accept it.

Pei Yiwu, who had been practicing extreme sports for so many years, had few admirers, and Jin Yao was one of them. Despite his wildness and lack of manners, he was indeed skilled in racing.

Jin Yao was daring and fearless, and the excitement of racing was comparable to top-level experiences.

Seeing that Jiang Yanzhou was ready, Lu Yang said, “I’ll eat first, we can talk later. ”

Pei Yiwu snapped out of it and said, “Okay!”

They had two bowls of simple tomato noodles. Lu Yang wasn’t very picky, and her stomach was a bit hungry, so she enjoyed the meal.

Jiang Yanzhou brought up the topic. “I won’t participate in the upcoming variety show.”

“Yeah, I heard,” Lu Yang said, taking a bite of the tomato, which was sour with a hint of sweetness, and tasted good.

Jiang Yanzhou smiled and asked, “Aren’t you curious about the reason?”

“I’m more curious about how you’re so good at cooking,” Lu Yang said. “You don’t look like someone who can cook.”

It’s not easy to make simple tomato noodles taste delicious.

One time, her brother made tomato noodles and just put three whole tomatoes in without cutting them.

It was both laughable and exasperating.

Jiang Yanzhou gazed at her and said, “If you like it, I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”

“I’m going home for the holiday tomorrow,” Lu Yang glanced at him and explained, “We usually celebrate on the 16th of August.”

After a pause, she added, “We have a variety show recording the day after tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhou jokingly said, “Are you indirectly rejecting my goodwill?”

Lu Yang suddenly couldn’t find the words.

Smart people should be aware of the unspoken and not break through it.

But he was too straightforward.

After finishing supper, Jiang Yanzhou walked her to the door and bid her goodnight. This was the third time Lu Yang entered the guest room next to the master bedroom.

She went in and immediately noticed a large gift box.

She was a bit puzzled.

Lu Yang approached and slowly opened it. There was a toy polar bear lying in the box, looking at her with its shiny black eyes.

She only liked two types of toys. One was the penguin pillow that Lu Mingyu gave her, and the other was the polar bear.

When she was little, Lu Mingyu used to say that she was a penguin, and he was a swan. Together they would sing “Goose, Goose, Goose” with their heads held high. Over time, she accepted her silly brother’s comparison of herself to a penguin.

As for why a polar bear, perhaps it was a rebellious streak.

Polar bears are in the Arctic, while penguins are in the Antarctic. She simultaneously liked them, just like simultaneously liking two contradictory things.

It was unfathomable.

In a dazed state, Jiang Yanzhou’s call came through.

Lu Yang answered and heard a voice with a faint smile, “Holiday gift.”

“Are you sure you didn’t mix up my childhood gift?” she gently said, “But the toy is nice, and it suits your temperament.”

“I didn’t mix them up. You can think of me as a polar bear.”

His voice came through the receiver, incredibly clear.

“The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and the polar bear is thinking of the penguin again..”
