Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Yang was not one to procrastinate.
If someone confessed their feelings to her today, and she would not wait until tomorrow to reject them.
Just now, she did not immediately reject Jiang Yanzhou, which meant that she still had some feelings for him.
Whether it was taking advantage of the situation or pushing too far, Jiang Yanzhou did not consider himself a gentleman, and he would not allow her to be confused alone.
Jiang Yanzhou raised his hand and brushed her hair away from her forehead. Lu Yang did not retreat.
âI have been tormented by this ambiguous and uncertain feeling.â His voice dropped, carrying a few tangled emotions. âLu Yang, when can we be together?â
Lu Yang pursed her lips, unable to control her anxiety. âJiang Yanzhou, donât joke around.â
Jiang Yanzhou said seriously, âI wonât force you to make a decision immediately. You can consider it slowly, but before I get an answer, I need to collect some interest.â
âWhat interest?â
As Lu Yang looked up, he lightly pinched her chin, and a shadow fell over her. The light in Lu Yangâs eyes dimmed a bit.
Jiang Yanzhou pressed his thumb lightly on her lips, lowered his head, and kissed her through his fingers. Then he slowly pulled away, looking at her closely, his voice carrying a lazy sense of satisfaction:
âVery sweet.â
The next day, at dawn, Lu Mingyu came to Laneway.
This time, he was quite well-behaved, parked his car at the door, and waited for her to come down.
Perhaps rushing to catch a plane, Lu Mingyu looked tired, and Lu Yang didnât chat with him, letting him rest.
After Lu Mingyu had enough sleep, he woke up and asked, âYang yng, can Jiang Yanzhou live until next year?â
âWhy do you ask that?â Lu Yang asked.
Lu Mingyu said indignantly, â1 just had a dream that it was your birthday, and he didnât give you a gift! Itâs so annoying. How could a brother not give his little sister a gift on her birthday, unless heâs dead.â
Lu Yang wanted to knock him out, but she couldnât bear to, and could only helplessly say, âMingyu, heâll live a long life, donât worry about whether heâs alive or dead.â
Lu Mingyu sighed, âJiang Yanzhou has lovesickness, seeking death and life. How can he live to be a hundred?â
âSeeking death and life? Lovesickness?â
âYeah,â Lu Mingyu said, âDo you remember the time when I forgot to give you a birthday present?â
Lu Yang nodded.
There was indeed such a thing.
âThat day, I drove to the airport and witnessed Jiang Yanzhouâs car accident on the way. The scene was really shocking, but luckily, your brother was there and managed to rescue him before the car exploded.â
Just like what Jiang Yanzhou said.
âI heard that he had a car accident because he was trying to chase his girlfriend. Donât be fooled by Jiang Yanzhouâs usual cold appearance. In fact, heâs really sentimental. Heâs a big fool for love.â
âDoes he have a girlfriend?â Lu Yang was surprised.
âYeah,â Lu Mingyu said, âIf he didnât have a girlfriend, how could he have a son?â
Lu Chen was not at home, and Lu Yang didnât stay at home for long either. In the afternoon, he went to Jainex Hospital.
The Lu residence was very peaceful, the hospital was orderly, everything was normal, but it was not peaceful in Laneway.
Zhao Yanshu looked at the big lump on Jiang Yanzhouâs forehead, scrutinized it, and couldnât help but exclaim, âWow, youâre brave for love, to get hurt like this!â
Jiang Yanzhou remained calm and denied it, âNo, it was an accident.â
âIt was an accident, and you still havenât put any medicine on it yet!!â Zhao Yanshu said anxiously.
Jiang Yanzhou replied, âGo to the hospital.â
Zhao Yanshu was stunned, âDo you want me to take you to the hospital to find Lu Yang?â
âIâll go by myself. The credibility is not high.â
âYou did it on purpose!â Zhao Yanshu exclaimed.
Lu Yang had just sent Jin Yao out of the hospital when Zhao Yanshu rushed in frantically.
âYangyang, help me!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Lu Yang scrutinized him. âYou seem fine.â
âNot me, itâs Jiang Yanzhou. Heâs in trouble. Come with me and save him!â
Lu Yang wanted to ask more questions, but the situation was critical, so she had no choice but to follow him to the rest room, where they found Jiang Yanzhou, alive and well.
Lu Yang wanted to turn around and leave, but she calmed down and didnât leave immediately.
âYou know heâs very well-known, and itâs easy to be recognized. But the injury is serious, so we had no choice but to find you. If we had been a few minutes later, it would have been a disaster!â Zhao Yanshu said.
Jiang Yanzhou took off his mask and cap, revealing a bruise on his fair forehead.
âIâll do a CT scan for you to see if thereâs any nerve damage,â Lu Yang said.
âNo need,â Jiang Yanzhou replied. âItâs not that serious.â âYour body, I understand it better than you do.â
Assistant Yu Chengâs ears instantly turned red.
Zhao Yanshu stared at Jiang Yanzhou with wide eyes and thought, âWow, this is progressing very quickly.â
Jiang Yanzhou succinctly burst their bubble, âShe has my physical examination report.â
Zhao Yanshu was utterly bewildered.
Lu Yang held a tube of ointment and a cotton swab to apply medicine to Jiang Yanzhouâs wound. He sat while she stood, and as he tilted his head slightly upwards, their eyes met and the scene from last night gradually appeared in his mind.
Lu Yang seemed to have already forgotten about what happened last night as her voice was clear and light, âIâll apply the medicine for you. If it hurts, just tell me.â
âOkay,â Jiang Yanzhou replied. Zhao Yanshu, who had been leaning against the side, silently gave a thumbs-up. âYouâre still so skillful, you can get that close to someone with an injured forehead,â he thought to himself, âPoor brother with a broken bone for the sake of love.â
Suddenly feeling like he was superfluous, Zhao Yanshu stood up straight, âIâm going out to make a call.â Lu Yang glanced at him and politely replied, âOkay.â
Zhao Yanshu looked at Jiang Yanzhou, gestured with his eyes, and said to Lu Yang, âThis call will take a while. You guys take your time applying the medicine.â
Lu Yang was at a loss for words.
After Zhao Yanshu left and closed the door, only the two of them remained in the room. Jiang Yanzhou raised her eyebrows, her emotions half-clear and half-ambiguous in her eyes. She could feel the warmth of his breath.
âHave you thought about it?â He asked her.
âMy brother said you have a girlfriend,â Lu Yangâs tone was not unusual, but it sounded different to Jiang Yanzhouâs ears.
He chuckled and asked, âGirlfriend, isnât it you?â
A light breeze blew in from the window, carrying the light of dusk. Lu Yang paused while holding the cotton swab.
When Zhao Yanshu came back, Lu Yang had already finished applying the medicine. She said, âTry not to press the brim of your hat too tightly. Itâs not good for the bruise to spread out.â
âBut if he only wears a mask, he will be recognized,â Zhao Yanshu worried.
Lu Yangâs gaze fell on Jiang Yanzhouâs peach blossom eyes, and after two seconds of silence, she said, âWait for me for a moment.â
Five minutes later, Lu Yang came back with a certain fishermanâs hat. It was similar to an astronautâs helmet.
âThis is what I promised to give to Xiaoshi. Wear it and give it to him.â
Zhao Yanshu looked at the man wearing the fishermanâs hat and couldnât help but burst into laughter as soon as Lu Yang left the room. âI didnât expect you to wear a cute hat! Letâs take a picture to remember.â
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words..
