Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

“I think I’ve met Fei Zhen before,” Lu Yang lay down with one of her arms resting on her forehead. Her other hand held her phone close to her ear. “When my grandfather was a doctor at Borderless, he saved a soldier who turned out to be Fei Zhen’s father.”

“Oh, there’s such a connection?

“That’s their generation’s matter now. Fei Zhen is a businessman and always comes out on top. It’s hard to tell if he’s a friend or foe.”

“Yeah, that’s true. What about Pei Yiwu?”

“She doesn’t have any ill intentions. No need to worry.”

Ye Cixing opened her mouth and ate the strawberry Sheng Yu handed to her. “What about Jiang Yanzhou?”

Lu Yang stared blankly at the ceiling, remained silent for a while, and then stated, “He’s going crazy.”

“What?”

Ye Cixing sat up in shock, bumping her head into Sheng Yu’s chin. Seeing him wince and touch his chin in pain, she leaned over, blew on it absentmindedly, and went to another place to make a phone call.

Sheng Yu was at a loss for words.

Ye Cixing asked, “Is he really crazy or just pretending?”

Lu Yang let out a slow breath. “I think it’s real.”

She noticed that his restless thoughts were becoming even deeper.

“I’m going to Yonkers now!”

“Huh? What for?”

“To protect you. A madman can bite people, and I can’t have you get hurt.” Lu Yang smiled. “You’re my bodyguard?”

“Don’t laugh. This isn’t something to laugh about.” Ye Cixing said dispiritedly, “Whatever he’s planning, just don’t mess with my Lu Yang. Whoever messes with my military advisor, I won’t tolerate it!”

There was a new incoming call, and Lu Yang squinted her eyes to see that it was Sheng Yu. She teased, “Your childhood sweetheart is coming to hunt me down again. You can go and confront him. Bye.”

Lu Yang’s thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that moment when their fingers were interlaced firmly. In fact, when she told Jiang Yanzhou about her situation, it wasn’t to reject him, but to tell him–

He was different from Gu Liye. She would tell him about her own matters but wouldn’t tell Gu Liye.

Just as Lu Yang was about to put down her phone, she realized that Dr. Qian Xi from the urology department had sent her a message.

Qian Xi texted: “Dr. Lu, I have some free time today. You can bring your friend over.”

She had been so busy lately, juggling her work at the hospital and dealing with her brother’s matters that she had forgotten about the appointment she had made for Jiang Yanzhou.

“Since it was your suggestion, it wouldn’t be right to let someone else see it.

After all… you understand my body better than anyone else.”

Remembering Jiang Yanzhou’s words, Lu Yang decided it would be best to continue sleeping.

Numbness took over.

After another minute of paralysis, Lu Yang sat up, replied to Dr. Qian’s message and called Jiang Yanzhou.

On the other side, Jiang Yanzhou had just finished shooting for the day and couldn’t help but feel delighted when he saw Lu Yang calling him.

“Do you have free time today?” she asked dryly.

“Yes.”

“Didn’t I tell you last time that I made an appointment with a male urologist? Dr. Qian is available today. If you want, you can go alone, or should I come with you?”

Within 24 hours of learning the truth, Jiang Yanzhou coldly glanced at the culprit. Zhao Yanshu, unable to believe it, widened her eyes and said, “What are you looking at me for? Who let you be constantly overshadowed by Lu Yang? Anyone would suspect that something is wrong with you, okay!?”

“I’ll come to see you,” Jiang Yanzhou picked up the car keys from the table and headed out. “Are you at home?” “Yeah, I’m at home.”

“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yang yawned, ran her hand through her hair, and slowly got out of bed.

Jiang Yanzhou arrived quickly. The doorbell rang a few times, and Lu Yang went to open the door, fully awake after washing her face.

He brought food with him, and she ate some casually.

As the year-end concert approached, Lu Mingyu became busier and busier. Lu Yang occasionally went to see his rehearsals, and he sometimes made time to have a meal with her.

Watching Lu Mingyu work hard, Lu Yang was also happy.

“Yanzhou, I heard that Mingyu wants you as a guest at his concert,” Lu Yang asked.

“Yeah, do you want me to go?” Jiang Yanzhou replied.

“It’s your decision regarding your matters,” Lu Yang said agreeably, sipping some soup before asking again, “Do you want to go see Dr. Qian by yourself, or should I accompany you?”

“Right here, help me with the examination.”

Lu Yang was utterly shocked. “Right here? You want me to examine you now?”

Is he really crazy? She couldn’t agree to such an unreasonable request right now.

Jiang Yanzhou’s tone was quite calm. “I’ll pay for the medical expenses.” Lu Yang was baffled.

“Anyway, you don’t have any evil intentions towards me. I trust you to examine me.” His gaze gleamed with an eager attitude. “Let’s see Dr. Lu’s medical skills.” Lu Yang threw him a strange look.

Enough pretending. They had already ignited a passionate flame, and it was unstoppable. But in the tug of war between their gazes, he deliberately kept his distance, firmly determined to become her soulmate.

While Lu Yang was bowing her head to eat, her hair kept falling down. Every time she tucked it behind her ears, it would fall again shortly after.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanzhou calmly stood up and, under Lu Yang’s gaze, walked towards her step by step. His hand brushed through her hair, his fingertips lightly tracing her neck and ears. Lu Yang felt a bit ticklish and tilted her head slightly, staring at him with a hint of a glare. “What are you doing?”

Jiang Yanzhou showed her the hair tie in his hand and spoke in a commanding tone, “I’m tying your hair. Don’t move.”

His fingertips occasionally brushed against her scalp through the gaps in her hair, his touch gentle and skillful. He tied her hair quickly, neither too loose nor too tight.

As Lu Yang was still surprised by how he had a hair tie and was so proficient in tying hair, he leaned down, and his warm breath unexpectedly landed on her face. It felt like a scorching brand, causing her dark lashes to instinctively tremble.

“Lu Yang, you said that it’s easier for people to let their guard down at night, and most of what they say is impulsive.” Jiang Yanzhou glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s currently 3:15 in the afternoon, still several hours away from evening. I am sober, and you are too.”

He was extremely close, his pupils reflecting her appearance. Lu Yang met his gaze, and even her breathing became heated. Their eyes met in the air, like two intertwined spiraling lines, entangled and indistinct.

“No matter when you appear, I belong to you alone.”

The man’s voice was like an electric current, each word stirring her sensitive nerves.

“Lu Yang, I like you.”

By the riverside, the wind brushed against century-old trees, and the dry yellow leaves lost their stickiness one after another, falling rustlingly. Several unique leaves drifted with the wind and landed on the river’s surface.

On the river, there was a leaf carrying heartfelt emotions, sparkling with shimmering waves, radiating a brilliant light.

A beam of light illuminated the leaf, revealing its intricate veins.

Lu Yang was overwhelmed by the heat, wanting to escape from the scorching gaze of the man. But he stopped her, and in that moment of eye contact, his feelings were displayed before her like a complete oil painting.

“Give me the rightful position to embrace you.. Will you be my girlfriend?
