Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
An awkward atmosphere suddenly rose around them. It was subtle and awkward.
âI came to touch you.â
These were such ambiguous words.
Realizing that she had said the wrong words, Lu Yang took a step forward and closed the distance between them. She muttered apologetically, âIâm sorry, Iâve been rude again.â
Jiang Yanzhou avoided her gaze without a word.
âItâs fine.â
Lu Yang explained, âI like to study the human bodyâs structure. The last time I shook hands with you, I felt your veins popping out. I was a little carried away by the blood vessels.â
Other people were blinded by beauty, but she was blinded by blood vessels.
It was rude of her to say that she had touched his hand in public. He didnât make things difficult for her and even agreed to her request.
Now, she had said such words again.
If it were someone else, they would have thought that she had gone crazy and would have thrown her away with a round of scolding.
Hearing her words, Jiang Yanzhouâs lips curled up into a faint smile, and he said meaningfully, âItâs not the first time either.â
âHuh? â Lu Yang didnât hear him clearly.
Jiang Yanzhou continued, âEveryone has a little hobby that no one knows. I understand.â
His hand was like a willow leaf, slender and clear, slowly stroking the edge of the phone.
Lu Yang thought for a while and looked away from his hand. She raised her eyebrows and asked straightforwardly, âDid we see each other before?â
This sentence was like saying that she wanted to touch his hand. It was easy for people to think that she had ill intentions toward him.
But she still asked after thinking about it.
Because the first time she heard his voice, she felt that it was familiar.
It was as if she had heard it in a dream.
Jiang Yanzhouâs clear eyes had a bewitching light, and their gazes met again.
âYou want to touch me, so you made up a reason?â he asked.
His answer seemed to have an underlying meaning, but it also seemed to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two deliberately.
Lu Yang suddenly chuckled.
This was indeed the conclusion that could be drawn from these few things.
Lu Yang trying hard to find an excuse to touch him.
His joke swept away all the thoughts in her mind.
Lu Yang had to admit that Jiang Yanzhouâs few words were enough to suppress her doubts.
This person was much smarter than her brother. No wonder he was the most popular actor in the entertainment industry.
He was dedicated to his career and took care of his reputation. He didnât speak much, but his words were impactful. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Yangâs lips curved into an amicable smile. Her expression was calm and natural.
âOur familyâs hereditary illness is engraved in our genes. If my brother has done anything wrong, Iâm here to apologize to you.â
Jiang Yanzhou had most likely gone to visit Lu Mingyu because Lu Mingyu had used some means to threaten him. Such a smart person would definitely not let others threaten him.
The superior blood vessels were important, but her brother was more important.
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly added, âBefore you touch me, I need to make it clear to you.â
âWhat is it?â Lu Yang blinked.
âIâm not married. Iâm single.â
âWhat?â
Jiang Yanzhou reached out to her, his smile hidden in his eyes. âYou can touch me to your heartâs content. Thereâs no need to worry.â
Lu Yang was amused by him. âYouâre so thoughtful.â
She was so focused on the veins on the back of his hand that she had almost forgotten that he was a man.
Jiang Yanzhou was still a good-looking adult man.
However, all of that was not important. The most important thing now was that he was really willing to let her touch him.
The two of them stood face to face. Lu Yang lowered her eyes and focused on the back of his hand. She reached out and stroked his veins with her fingers.
Her movements were delicate, like a feather scraping on a personâs heart.
She was like a pair of calliper rulers, accurate to the millimeter. She had no intention of touching the parts of his body that were not covered in blue veins.
Lu Yang didnât even spare a glance for other parts.
Infatuated, but she did not lose her sense of propriety.
Jiang Yanzhouâs gaze fell on the black bracelet on Lu Yangâs left wrist.
The bracelet was decorated with a silver skull, and the eyes of the skull were embedded with amethyst, which glowed with her movements.
He narrowed his brown eyes and started a topic. âYour bracelet looks nice. Why didnât I see you wearing it last time?â
Lu Yang glanced at it. âI left it at home. I didnât have time to go back to get it when I was on a variety show. I just wore it yesterday.â
Her gaze fell on his hand again and realized that there was a small mole on the ring finger of his left hand. It was very light and moved slightly with his fingers.
She had only been paying attention to his blood vessels and had only noticed his hand now.
His fingers were long and slender, his joints well-proportioned, and there was nothing between his fingers.
It looked pretty good.
But the blood vessels still fully had her attention.
Jiang Yanzhou sharply noticed that her gaze had stopped for a moment and asked, âIs it ugly?â
âItâs nice.â
Lu Yang felt that her words were a little underwhelming. She thought for a while and found a comparison. âItâs slightly better than my brother.â There was no doubt about the winning part: Blood vessels.
The corners of Jiang Yanzhouâs mouth curled up silently. A slight joy was hidden under the shadow of his eyelashes.
Lu Yangâs nose was filled with the cold fragrance of the person in front of her. She was quite happy to touch his hands, but she didnât know if he would feel bored.
âIf you want to cover it but donât want to remove it, you can wear an accessory. You wonât be able to see it if you wear it,â Lu Yang suggested.
âWhat accessory?â Jiang Yanzhou chatted happily.
Lu Yang thought about it for three seconds. âA ring.â
âlâne only tmng sne could tmnK or to make It 100K goocl on ms nnger was a ring.
âI donât have a ring. Do you have any recommendations?â
Lu Yang raised her eyes and met his gaze. She pondered for a moment before saying, âIâll go back and ask my brother. He has many accessories, so he should be more familiar with them.â
She thought of something and beamed.
âEvery time my brother puts on a ring, heâll show off in front of the mirror and then hate himself for only having ten fingers and not forty.â
âHow many fingers do you like to wear?â Jiang Yanzhou asked.
Thinking that he was asking how many Lu Mingyu would like to wear, Lu Yang replied without thinking, âIt doesnât matter how many, as long as my brother is happy. â
Her brother was the kind of stupidly cute and silly handsome man. If you didnât let him wear it, he would wrinkle his nose and stare at you with resentment like a dog venting its dissatisfaction.
She could only go along with him. In less than two days, he would get tired of it and choose not to wear it.
Jiang Yanzhouâs gaze swept past her lips, and his knuckles curled up unnaturally.
Lu Yang didnât seem to notice it and continued to ask naturally, âThereâs something that Iâm curious about.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
Lu Yang raised her head and looked at him. She inquired seriously, âWhen you were young, did the nurses and doctors in the hospital rush to give you an IV drip?â
Jiang Yanzhou was speechless.
After Zhao Yanshu was done with the discussion, he returned with a smile on his face. However, he seemed to have seen something that caused his eyes to widen, and he stopped in his tracks.
The surroundings were empty, and no one was walking around. It was very quiet, except for the two people standing there intimately, hand in hand.
Thatâs right.
They were holding hands!
