Chapter 13
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Everyoneâs stomachs were growling now because they hadnât eaten for a day.
The air was thick with the scent of sweet potatoes. While the others had dry food, Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng heated some water to consume.
Wen Jian and Qin Yitan both consumed food to fill their stomachs.
In the evening, the beautiful afterglow of the setting sun burned half the sky red, and the distant sea reflected golden shimmers.
People who were too stubborn were always inferior to tactful people.
Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan demonstrated this to the fullest.
Wen Jian asked Lu Yang to help her stabilize the tent. Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan were arguing about coconuts under the coconut tree.
âLu Yang, how did you come up with the idea of using the glasses to start a fire?â Wen Jian asked curiously.
âIâve read about it in a book,â Lu Yang said.
âIâve read about drilling wood to make a fire in a book, but Qin Yitan couldnât make a fire even after hours. Is it fake?â
âNo.â
âHeâs doing it wrongly,â Lu Yang said.
âHe was doing it wrongly?â Wen Jian mused and fell into deep thought.
Before she could ask any further questions, Lin Xinmeng ran over in a hurry.
âItâs bad! Something has happened!â
Wen Jianâs heart was in her throat. âWhat happened?â
On the other hand, Lu Yang was calm as she fixed the nail in place. She wasnât curious at all.
She was so calm that Lin Xinmeng began to doubt herself.
She had the illusion that she was the only one panicking instead of the one who should be.
âUh... Lu Yang, your brother and Senior Qin Yitan seem to be fighting over the coconuts.â
When Lu Mingyu was mentioned, Lu Yang exclaimed an ah and responded nonchalantly, âOh.â
Lin Xinmeng was speechless.
âOh? Thatâs it?â she thought.
The system had given Lin Xinmeng a new task. If she could successfully resolve the coconut conflict between Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan, she would be able to gain 100 points.
However, after much thought, Lin Xinmeng still wanted to get close to Lu Yang first.
Wen Jian frowned. âWhy donât we go and take a look? Itâll be bad if they start fighting here. â
Wen Jian had heard about how Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan could not get long at all.
After making a solo debut, this was her first variety show, and Wen Jian did not want it to end in failure.
This place had mountains, water, and trees.
This place was the filming location carefully selected by the program group.
The program team had secretly increased the supply not to mistreat the guests.
For example, there were coconuts.
The staffâs original plan was to knock down a few coconuts and place them on the ground for the guests to pick up, but the coconut trees were too tall, and they were helpless.
He had no choice but to go to the market to buy three coconuts and put them under the coconut tree, pretending that they had fallen by themselves.
With the systemâs help, Lin Xinmeng brought Zhou Moli two coconuts home in advance. Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan fought over the remaining one.
âI saw it first. The coconuts should be mine!â Qin Yitan said.
Lu Mingyu sneered. âWhat a joke. Do you think that what you see with your eyes is yours? â
Qin Yitan tried to argue. âYou canât generalize this hastily. Lu Mingyu, I know you donât like me, but weâre filming a show now. You have to be sensible!â
Lu Mingyu sneered. âEven if I wanted to be rational, it would have to be with someone with a conscience. Why donât you ask yourself if you have one? Oh, you donât even have a heart.â
People like Qin Yitan would distort the truth and not give up until they achieved their goals. Lu Mingyu had suffered many losses under his hands.
Qin Yitanâs eyes were red with anger. He gritted his teeth. Soon, he put on an innocent look.
âIf youâre still angry about me bumping into you at the annual Gala, I apologize. But I saw this coconut first.â
Showing weakness and acting pitifully was the most effective way to deal with netizens.
At the mention of the ceremony, Qin Yitan smiled triumphantly at a place where the camera could not see.
As for his provocative and evil face, it was the most effective way to deal with Lu Mingyu.
âHoho! The scene Iâve been looking forward to the most is here! Fight! Start fighting!â
âThe program team must have invited them to perform a two-person duel. I bet 50 cents that Lu Mingyu will win!â
âItâs obvious that Qin Yitan saw it first. The coconuts should be his. Lu Mingyu must be jealous of Qin Yitan for winning the best male singer of the year. Thatâs why heâs picking on him!â

âAh!â
In the studio, Zhao Yanshu held the pink and white Ultraman model and exclaimed.
âI forgot to give my present to Sister Yangyang!â
Jiang Yanzhouâs eyebrows twitched. âSister Yangyang? â
Zhao Yanshu replied, âThatâs right! Donât you men like to have a younger sister?â
...
Jiang Yanzhou glanced at him and repeated, âYou men?â
Zhao Yanshu sighed and smacked his head. âThe makeup artist led me astray. I almost forgot that Iâm a man.â
Thinking of something, Zhao Yanshu looked at Jiang Yanzhou sneakily. âBut what exactly do you have against Lu Mingyu? â
This was the first time he had seen this big boss compromise so much.
Zhao Yanshu placed Ultraman on the cabinet and pulled out a chair. After some thought, he said, âHe knows about what happened when you were young?â
After much thought, this was the only thing Lu Mingyu could use against him.
Jiang Yanzhou didnât comment.
Zhao Yanshu thought, âThatâs not right! Weâre not afraid of being exposed.â
Not many people knew about Jiang Jinshiâs existence, even though Lu Mingyu had met Jiang Jinshi by chance and mistakenly thought that he was Jiang Yanzhouâs illegitimate son.
However, this matter was not a threat to them at all.
Zhao Yanshuâs imagination started to run wild. âCould it be that you have a feud with the Lu family? Are you planning to use your sister as a hostage to control the Lu family? To take revenge on the Lu family?â
...
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.
âThatâs even more wrong. You donât have any grudges with the Lu family...â
Jiang Yanzhouâs long fingers paused on the screen, his feather-like eyelashes fluttering.
Zhao Yanshu stretched his neck and peeked at the phone screen.
News about the wilderness variety show:
âShocking news! A dart smashed the camera lens at the start of the game! How godly is Lu Mingyuâs sister, who is not in the industry?â
âAh... What kind of news title is this?â Zhao Yanshu thought to himself.
âWait, no. What is he looking at?â he continued thinking.
âDonât tell me youâre going to visit her at work just to have a sister?â Zhao Yanshu asked.
Zhao Yanshu raised his voice. âDo you men like having a younger sister that much?! â
Jiang Yanzhouâs finger tapped on the screen, and he looked up. âYou men?â
Zhao Yanshu was confusing his gender again.
âNowâs not the time to be thinking about my gender. Do you want to acknowledge Lu Mingyuâs sister as your sister? â
After Zhao Yanshu came back, he did some research on Lu Yangâs background.
He guessed that Lu Yang participated in the variety show to get Lu Mingyu to help her out, and Jiang Yanzhou was probably going to be used as a chess piece by the siblings to gain popularity.
After Zhao Yanshu told Jiang Yanzhou what he knew, his voice deepened. âAlthough Lu Mingyu saved you before, that was a few years ago. If his sister wants to debut, I can introduce resources to her. But if the resource is tied to you, I wonât recommend nor agree to it. â
âShe probably doesnât want to enter the entertainment industry,â Jiang Yanzhou said casually.
âSheâs not entering the entertainment industry? Then why did she participate in the variety show?â
âMaybe... to experience life.â
This time, Zhao Yanshu was rendered speechless.
âWas survival in the wilderness the same as experiencing life? Who would go to the wilderness to experience life? Wasnât that asking for trouble?â Zhao Yanshu thought.
