Jiang Jinshi looked around cautiously, making sure no one was eavesdropping. He leaned closer to Lu Yangâs ear and whispered, âUncle Yanzhou has a sketchbook with pictures of you.â
Lu Yang was filled with doubts. âHuh?â
âUncle Yanzhou really likes you. He didnât have any pictures of you before, and he was afraid he would forget what she looks like. So, he stayed in his room for many days, constantly drawing. Mommy was worried that Uncle Yanzhou would die in his room, something called⦠called sudden death.â
âMommy doesnât let me talk about these things, but sister and I canât have secrets, so I can only tell you secretly. Sister Yang, please donât say anything in front of Uncle Yanzhou, or Mommy will get mad at me.â
Jiang Jinshi sighed and pouted, looking at Lu Yang with pleading eyes.
Lu Yang remembered the two sketch drawings she received. The paper seemed to be a bit old, but she didnât pay much attention to them.
She pinched his cheek and smiled brightly, promising, âI promise you that no one else will know.â
Jiang Jinshi smiled happily, remembering what Zhao Yanzhou had said, and he asked sincerely, âSister Yang, when did you start liking Uncle Yanzhou?â Lu Yang held back her smile and asked, âWhy do you ask?â
âUncle Zhao said you donât like my uncle. When you see me, itâs like seeing Uncle Yanzhou, and you subconsciously feel unhappy.â
Lu Yang was at a loss for words.
Jiang Jinshi sniffled, as if he was about to cry in the next moment. âUncle Zhao also said that if you like someone else, I canât see you anymore. Because when others see me and sister together, they would be mean to you. It will also make you feel bad.â
Lu Yang was baffled and mused, âZhao Yanshuâs primary job must be a storyteller, and his secondary job is being a manager. Look at how he deceived the child, making him cry with snot and tears.â
Jiang Jinshiâs parents must be very trusting to leave him with Jiang Yanzhou and let Zhao Yanshu take care of him.
Afraid that he would burst into tears the next second, Lu Yang quickly comforted him, âDonât worry. I wonât dislike you. Youâre so adorable, and I really like you.â
Jiang Jinshi wiped away his tears and returned a big smile, childishly saying, âI like you too!â
Lu Yang chuckled, âWell, letâs get ready to watch the show.â
That was a good way to calm him down.
âOkay!â
There would be an intermission after the recording of three programs, and Lu Mingyuâs performance was the third one. If Lu Yang wanted to watch his performance from the audience, she had to stay seated throughout.
The pre-recording of the program went smoothly, and the equipment was working fine. The official recording of the program began. The first performer was a female singer who sang a beautiful Cantonese love song, moving some people in the audience to tears.
After the first performance ended, the stage lights changed, and the large screen on the stage displayed movie clips.
The second song was the theme song of a movie Jiang Yanzhou starred in, and the stage backdrop mainly displayed selected scenes from the movie.
Looking at the people on the screen, an indistinct shimmer of light flashed in Lu Yangâs calm black eyes.
She studied the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system for a period of time. One of her research topics was exploring the
Lu Yang still remembered that before the formal research, she conducted a preliminary experiment on herself.
Normally, girls have more oxytocin than boys, and the act of love and embracing stimulates the brain to release oxytocin. So, itâs a normal scientific need for girls to want hugs.
Based on this, in her opinion, a forceful kiss doesnât make her heart flutter at all. On the contrary, an occasional unexpected hug, feeling each otherâs heartbeat, brings about a greater sense of happiness.
The previous conclusion was general, but the next one is not.
Compared to holding hands, grasping wrists makes Lu Yangâs heart flutter even more because when she holds his wrist and her fingers rest on his pulse, it feels like sheâs holding his beating heart.
Both hugs and wrist-grasping, Jiang Yanzhou does them just right.
Apart from his heart beating faster than hers, their interaction undoubtedly confirms her previous conclusion.
A flicker of a manâs figure in a dim and deafening darkness flashed through Lu Yangs mind. On the night of the power outage, she saw the contours of his muscular lines in the dim light.
The size was just right, not exaggerated, with distinct muscle groups, perfectly lean.
When it came into view, she had a brief flight of fancy, but she quickly snapped out of it. Later, though she said most of it teasingly, every word came from her heart.
His body was indeed perfect, at least the upper half was superior.
Lu Yang curled her lips and smiled cunningly.
When it comes to flirting and acting, she canât compare to him, but when it comes to teasing, itâs clear that she has the upper hand.
When Lu Mingyu took the stage, the stage layout changed, and the music was even more touching than before. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Mingyu came up on the lift and stood in the center of the stage, dressed in a black rock-style jacket, quite different from his usual style.
Jiang Jinshi saw Lu Mingyuâs figure, his mouth wide open in astonishment as he exclaimed, âSister, at first glance, Uncle looks so handsome!â
Lu Mingyu blended into the lights and shadows, exuding a kind of hazy transparency. In the dim environment, he shone like a torch.
The music prelude was not long, just over ten seconds. With the stirring accompaniment, Lu Mingyuâs singing voice rang out:
âDay or night, danger is always lurking, your weapon knows no boundaries, no borders.â
Lu Mingyuâs voice was distinct, pure, and vibrant, creating a special magnetic field when it collided with the lyrics, giving people a sense of purifying their souls.
His singing was powerful and filled with emotion, as if everything within his enclosure was shattered.
âThe enemy is hiding behind the screen, stop bombing me, itâs giving me a headache. â
When he reached the high notes that were full of excitement, Lu Yang faintly heard the audience next to her couldnât help but exclaim, âI didnât expect the live performance to sound this good. Lu Mingyu is simply the king of high notes, and his falsetto is incredible. He looks so cool in all black, so handsome, Iâm blown away!â
They continued to say something behind, but Lu Yang didnât hear it. The song was too exciting, and she couldnât focus or make out the words clearly.
The song ended, and there was an intermission.
Jiang Jinshi hadnât recovered from the performance yet, he was still in shock, and he asked Lu Yang again, âSister, was that really your brother just now?â âYeah!â Lu Yangâs eyes shimmered under the lights as she smiled and asked,
Jiang Jinshi nodded vigorously, âYeah!â
He doesnât look anything like a foolish uncle.
Xu Fu walked through the crowd and approached them, handing them the prepared drinks in advance. âDo you want to go find Mingyu now?â
Lu Yang adjusted Jiang Jinshiâs hat so that it would be more convenient for him to drink, then she politely said to Xu Fu, âYes, please lead the way.â Xu Fu knew that Lu Yang was easy to talk to and responded, âSure, follow me!â
There was only one rest area for the performing guests in the backstage, no special treatment, everyone was treated equally. Some artists who came to perform with a little fame would act like divas and demand a separate room, but Lu Mingyu was very open-minded. The most important thing for him to perform was to showcase the best performance, not some empty show. When Lu Yang and Jiang Jinshi entered, the dozen or so people in the rest area were curious and stared at the unexpected guests.
Lu Mingyu saw his sister and immediately stood up excitedly, and the first thing he said was to ask for praise, âYangyang, how was my performance?â
Lu Yang smiled lightly, her eyes shimmering like flowing light, bright as a galaxy, âYour stage presence was good, and your singing was stable.â Lu Mingyu flew his eyebrows in pride, not a bit modest, âOf course!â Chen Su was speechless and mused, âHeâs impossible to handle.â
âMingyu, you three dressed like a family today, Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother!â Xu Fu looked at the three of them with soft and gentle eyes, displaying the unique rigor and elegance of a doctor.
Love for medicine has driven them to madness, and it was pure love..
