Chapter 5

Chen Su hurriedly walked three meters away to take a call.

Lu Yang could plainly hear everything since it was less crowded here and because Chen Su had raised his voice out of frustration.

“Reporter Zheng, this is not very kind of you! Lu Mingyu scolded Qin Yitan at the music festival, and you’re in a hurry to dig out what happened between them like decades ago. You added oil to the fire by saying that Lu Mingyu bruised Qin Yitan’s nose and Qin Yitan slapped Lu Mingyu in the face.”

He continued, “What kind of joke is this? How could Lu Mingyu be jealous of Qin Yitan? We all know how much of this year’s music festival is fake. We don’t have to be jealous of a fake!”

...

Lu Yang was dead bored as she listened to Chen Su’s conversation. She had a rough idea of the dispute between Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan.

The two of them were competitors. Qin Yitan knew he could not outshine Lu Mingyu in his work, so he switched to dealing with social connections. Qin Yitan often insulted Lu Mingyu secretly to provoke him into taking action.

On the one hand, Qin Yitan was riding on Lu Mingyu’s popularity. On the other hand, he was trampling on Lu Mingyu.

Thanks to Chen Su’s efforts in controlling the flow of the entertainment industry, Lu Mingyu could survive with his music as one of the few top celebrities.

Chen Su was “communicating” with the reporters and didn’t notice that Lu Yang’s eyes were locked on Qin Yitan, who was a hundred meters away, instructing his assistant on his massage.

“Sir, how’s the strength?”

“Didn’t you eat? Use more strength!”

“Yes, yes.”

Qin Yitan was lying on a chair with his sunglasses on, enjoying the sunlight. He had no idea that danger was approaching.

Lu Yang walked behind Qin Yitan and smacked the back of his head.

Qin Yitan was caught off guard. His upper body bent at a 90-degree angle, and his sunglasses fell to the ground. He touched the back of his head and gritted his teeth, but before he could say anything, he saw Lu Yang covering her mouth with both hands and speaking in fear, “Oh no! I thought you were my brother, Lu Mingyu.”

Qin Yitan widened his eyes in disbelief. “Huh?! Do you not know what your brother looks like? Also, what did you eat while growing up? You’re powerful!”

“Isn’t this the chair that the staff assigned to my brother? Also, the back of your heads looks so similar.”

Qin Yitan was furious. “What do you mean by the back of our heads looking alike? Who would believe this kind of bullshit! I wouldn’t have snatched Lu Mingyu’s seat if I had known earlier. F*ck! It hurts!” he mused inwardly.

Lu Yang reached out her hand to rub his head and said innocently, “I’m sorry. It hurts, doesn’t it?”

“Don’t mess up my hairstyle!”

Qin Yitan was upset, but there were too many people around. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only clench his teeth. “I’m fine.”

“Are you okay?” Lu Yang asked with concern.

“I already said I’m fine!”

Qin Yitan waved his arms to prevent Lu Yang from getting close, but he was pushed away by Lu Mingyu, who appeared out of nowhere.

“Qin Yitan, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Qin Yitan snarled, “Why don’t you ask your sister what she has done!”

Lu Mingyu was displeased. “You’re a man. Why are you acting like you’re severely injured after my sister barely touched you? Are you made of mud? You’re so dramatic.”

“I-I... You...”

Qin Yitan couldn’t say anything and stammered for a long time. When he realized that more and more people were looking at him, he could only give up and leave.

He did not want to be laughed at by others for bawling loudly after being hit by a weak girl.

After Chen Su was done with the call, he saw Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan quarreling. Lu Yang was also beside them. He shrieked like a groundhog in his heart and quickly walked over.

Looking at Qin Yitan’s back, Chen Su’s eyes darted back and forth between Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu in confusion. “Why does he look like he had just suffered huge injustice?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. Chen Su hurriedly urged Lu Mingyu, “It’s time for the live broadcast. Hurry up and get ready!”

“Yangyang, I’m going to do a live broadcast now. You...”

“Leave your sister to me. You can go now.”

Lu Mingyu was pulled away by his assistant. He examined Lu Yang’s expression, frowned, relaxed, and furrowed his brows again. He asked curiously, “What happened to Qin Yitan?”

“I accidentally hit the back of his head,” Lu Yang replied casually.

Chen Su’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Accidentally?”

“Yeah.” Lu Yang grinned.

“Well done!” Chen Su slowly raised his thumb.

He had wanted to beat Qin Yitan up for a long time but never had the chance to.

An unusually burning gaze fell on her. Lu Yang suddenly raised her eyes and saw a man staring at her without blinking.

His body proportions were perfect, with broad shoulders and long legs. It was a pity that he wore a mask covering his face. There was some distance between them, so she could not see his eyes clearly.

This man’s temperament was excellent, and his looks couldn’t be bad either. Lu Yang guessed.

Lu Mingyu was live-streaming, and his handsome face was on the screen.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Lu Mingyu. Today is the first day of filming for the wilderness. I’ll bring some benefits to everyone in advance. I’ll be live-streaming for ten minutes. I’ll be filming with my sister, Lu Yang, for this variety show. My sister has been weak and sickly since she was young, so she can’t take care of herself. Please be more forgiving toward her.”

Comments started filling the chat.

“It’s finally Lu Mingyu’s live broadcast! Our baby, fly bravely! Mommy will always be with you!”

“Ahhh! He’s so handsome that my heart is pounding!”

“Your sister is my sister too. Your sister is so cute. Why would we attack her?”

“There goes another one who brings his family to a variety show. How lame...”

“Is she here to cause trouble by coming here with a frail constitution? Is she a skilled fraudster?”

“Weaklings shouldn’t go on variety shows. Hurry up and go home to drink milk!”

...

Lu Mingyu, who was chatting happily, saw the door open and a familiar figure walk in. It was just about time for the scheduled time. He ended the live broadcast and stood up.

“I thought you would stand me up.”

Jiang Yanzhou took off his mask, revealing a pair of amber eyes. “Where’s the thing?”

“Why are you talking about that? It’s unnecessary to talk about that with our friendship. You’re here to visit my set, and you’re not here to take anything.”

Jiang Yanzhou glanced at him and said coldly, “It’s most necessary to talk when it comes to relationships.”

Lu Mingyu blabbered on and on, then lifted his chin and said to his assistant, Xu Fu, “Go and bring my sister here. Tell her that I’m going to give her a surprise. A big one!”

Jiang Yanzhou was too lazy to care and prepared to put on his earpieces to make things quieter.

Lu Mingyu tapped on his screen and placed his phone in front of Jiang Yanzhou. With pride, he exclaimed, “Take a look. This is my younger sister.”

Jiang Yanzhou was about to put on his other Bluetooth earpiece when he heard Lu Mingyu’s words. He somehow paused and raised his eyes. His gaze landing on a naturally beautiful, flawless face on the screen. Her delicate features were so beautiful that they were dazzling. Her eyebrows were slightly arched, expressing a strong sense of joy.

Jiang Yanzhou briefly ceased speaking as he lowered his eyes in reflection on what he had just witnessed.

She had an innocent appearance, but there was a sense of sharpness hidden within her eyes.

...

“Is she the rumored younger sister?” he wondered.
