Chapter 21
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
âDonât forget your 180-degree apology too,â Lu Yang added.
Qin Yitan was speechless.
Other peopleâs song lyrics were about the angel of the devils, but she was the devil of the angels.
Qin Yitanâs face turned pale when he heard the word âapologyâ.
He had once apologized to Lu Mingyu at the suggestion of the public relations team. However, that apology was just a smokescreen to control public opinion.
This time, it was a real apology.
Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan looked quite similar, and their songs were similar as well.
They were rivals.
The task of Qin Yitanâs fans was not to collect data but to trample on Lu Mingyu.
Qin Yitan played a huge role in Lu Mingyuâs success.
Hence, Qin Yitan would not apologize willingly.
Lin Xinmengâs interaction with the system did not went well on the other side.
Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyuâs conflict had been resolved, but she did not have any points.
Lin Xinmeng asked, âCan points be given in proportion? A little bit would do.
The probability system replied: âDetected that the hostâs contribution to this mission has not reached 30%. No points will be awarded.â
Just as Lin Xinmeng was feeling dejected, she heard the systemâs voice again: âAnyoneâs favorability towards the host can be exchanged for points. Qin Yitan is no exception. It is found that there is resistance in his current emotions. Host, you will gain a favorable impression if you remove it.â
Hearing this, Lin Xinmeng felt that her days were filled with hope again.
She walked closer to Lu Yang and Qin Yitan and said, âAn apology is fine, but I donât think Senior Qin needs to do the handstand. Qin Yitan didnât mean to frame your brother. Lu Yang, do me a favor and let it go.â
As Lin Xinmeng spoke, she got closer to Lu Yang and held her arm affectionately.
It was as if their relationship was so good that they could touch each other at will.
The system announced: âQin Yitanâs favorability value is rising. Host, keep up the good work.â
Lin Xinmengâs excitement was beyond words. Just as she was about to shake Lu Yangâs arm, the latter silently retracted her hand.
Lu Yang opened her eyes. âI can do you a favor.â
Lin Xinmeng and Qin Yitan were overjoyed.
âBut⦠â Lu Yang pursed her lips and smiled. âLetting people fulfill their wishes is our traditional virtue.â
Lin Xinmengâs expression froze as she looked at Lu Yang in shock.
âApologizing while standing upside down is Senior Qinâs unique skill. He wanted to use this opportunity to show it, so how could I bear to refuse? This time, Senior Qin could be able to surpass a million views. As the saying goes, an opportunity canât be missed, and it wonât come back again. Donât you think so?â
The question was thrown to Lin Xinmeng.
Even though Lu Yangâs voice was as calm as water, it had an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
Lin Xinmeng didnât know how to refuse.
She was stunned on the spot, and she subconsciously nodded.âYes.â
Qin Yitan glared at Lin Xinmeng again.
She was just putting on a double act, making him mistakenly think that she really wanted to help him.
âEh? Why do I feel like Lu Yang is a little cunning?â
âThere is a girl who is a little rebellious and also a little crazy.â
âIf an apology was useful, why would he do a handstand? Inserts an amused face gif.â
Lin Xinmeng came to her senses and tried to grab Lu Yangâs arm again, but she missed.
She could only withdraw her hand timidly.
âLu Yang, Qin Yitan is a senior. Why donât we just forget about it?â
Lin Xinmeng persuaded persistently.
âSure,â Lu Yang replied.
Qin Yitan and Lin Xinmeng, who thought that Lu Yang would not give up so easily, were stunned.
He was overjoyed.
âAre you serious?â Qin Yitan asked.
âAre you sure youâre not joking?â Lin Xinmeng asked.
Lu Yangâs long eyelashes fluttered. âWerenât you the one who started the joke?â she asked.
When their eyes met, Lin Xinmeng seemed to have lost her voice. She wanted to speak, but her throat was choked with sobs.
In the face of absolute power, any schemes would be overestimating their own abilities.
After a few seconds of joy, Qin Yitan finally accepted the truth.
Just as he was about to walk over to Lu Mingyu to apologize, Lu Yang stopped him. âThereâs no need to rush.â
Qin Yitan turned around and looked at her in confusion.
âThereâs no wall here.â Lu Yang said, âIâm afraid itâll be difficult to stand upside down. â
Qin Yitan frowned and thought, âWhat kind of approach was this?â
âI heard that you like to apologize in your study room. You can record a handstand apology video and post it on Twitter when you get back. â
...
Although that was a kind and considerate comment, Qin Yitan detected a different connotation.
Lin Xinmeng seized the opportunity to step forward without delay and uttered gently, âLu Yang, thank you. I will remember this favor.â
She then looked at Qin Yitan and said considerately, âSenior Qin, itâs safer to do a handstand in the study.â
Lin Xinmeng was immersed in her own joyful emotions, but she did not know that Qin Yitanâs mind was in turmoil. His mood was complicated, and his heart was in a mess.
The netizens all knew that the background of Qin Yitanâs apology video to Lu Mingyu was always the trophy on the wall of the study room.
However, very few people knew that most of the honor was snatched from Lu Mingyu by Qin Yitan.
The former used them as the background, undoubtedly to repel the latter.
It looked like an apology, but it was actually a provocation.
âDid Lu Yang know about it?â Qin Yitan mused and couldnât help but guess.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty.
âI waited for so long just to see a handstand as an apology, but itâs just a teaser?â
...
âLu Yang is so impolite. As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, she doesnât even respect her seniors!â
âHow good can the sister of Lu Mingyu, the king of irritation in the entertainment industry, be? She still doesnât understand how to be grateful for favors!â
There was an endless stream of people scolding Lu Yang. They were the most conscientious in the vast comments.
Qin Yitan cleaned up the water stains in the tent. He had never done hard work before, so he was extremely annoyed when he tried doing some manual labor.
But, he couldnât show it.
In order to highlight Lu Mingyuâs irascible nature, he had specially created a character image for himself that had a good personality and was not calculative.
He couldnât let his character design collapse.
Qin Yitan set up his tent in a few positions. When the wind blew, the salt-like sand gushed into his tent.
On the other hand, Lu Mingyuâs tent, which was not far away, was as stable as a mountain. It was not affected by the environment at all.
Qin Yitan stood up, and raised his hands and chin. He shouted, âWind, go to the west!â
He hoped the wind would tear Lu Mingyuâs tent and embarrass him.
Wen Jian glanced sideways, staring at Qi Yitanâs superstitious manner, and replied, âThe wind says it prefers your side.â
Qin Yitan was speechless.
