Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

Lu Mingyu’s persona and the words he spoke were incongruous, making it hard to connect the two. Pei Yiwu was utterly taken aback. Being aloof was merely his protective facade; it was his cunning that was his lethal weapon. Pei Yiwu thought it best to lay low and avoid his novel ideas. “Alright then,” she replied cautiously.

Lu Mingyu wanted to shake hands to signify a pleasant conversation, but ended up wincing in pain as he touched his wound. Pei Yiwu thought to herself, “Is he really that delicate?”

The night sky was slightly chilly, the stars flickering like they were trying to escape the clutches of the dark clouds and fall to earth. As their eyes met, Lu Yang’s eyes sparkled in the darkness like tentacles lightly prodding Jiang

Yanzhou’s heart. She quirked an eyebrow and asked, “Guess what?”

Without missing a beat, Jiang Yanzhou smiled faintly and whispered, “A female scammer.”

She was like a butterfly that could stir up a whirlwind in his heart with just a slight flutter of her wings. When Jiang Yanzhou had leaned in earlier, Lu Yang had been too focused on her brother to hear what he said. But now, she had heard clearly. He had called her a female scammer.

Female…scammer…

Lu Yang silently repeated the words, subconsciously swallowing hard. Why did it sound like she had deceived him in some way…?

Jiang Yanzhou extended his slender fingers and lightly brushed her eyelids. Suddenly speaking to himself, he said, “I’ve never been in love.”

“What?” Lu Yang was momentarily stunned. When she looked up to meet his gaze, his eyes were fixed on her with a strange glimmer, though he had tamed the tiny sparks in their corners.

“I’m just stating a fact,” Jiang Yanzhou repeated. The first time he spoke, his tone was casual and natural, but when he repeated himself, his words took on a regular cadence, as if he was seeking her response.

“I once read a sentence in a book,” Lu Yang said calmly, her heart beating like a frightened bird. She lifted her face to meet his gaze, but her eyes were calm. “Chastity is a man’s flower. So-called natural talent, heroism, and other virtues are just its fruit.”

She spoke slowly, and every word was full of meaning. “Continue to cherish it.” Chastity is precious. Keep it up, and don’t fall in love.

“I’m just stating a fact,” Jiang Yanzhou replied, his expression and tone carrying an unusual connotation. “Why do your words sound like you’re rejecting my confession?”

Lu Yang’s thoughts came to a screeching halt, and she silently looked away, focusing her gaze on Lu Mingyu and Pei Yiwu, who were approaching.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu immediately revealed a gleeful expression and raised his hand, using a certain tone that was both righteous and confident to say, “Yang Yang, the wound has reopened.”

Lu Yang:

Noticing the abnormal expression that her younger sister failed to hide, Lu

Mingyu couldn’t help but vent his grievances with a reprimand, “Jiang

Yanzhou, you wicked hippie, did you make Yang Yang angry!?”

Jiang Yanzhou surprisingly admitted, “Yes.”

Lu Yang: ?

Did he think that she was angry because he didn’t say he liked her again?

With a resolute “Yes,” Lu Mingyu was completely stumped. After pausing for a moment, he urged Jiang Yanzhou, “Quickly apologize to Yang Yang!”

Once again making eye contact with Lu Yang, Jiang Yanzhou’s voice inexplicably carried a hint of indulgence as he coaxed her, “Don’t be angry.”

Lu Yang:

These two men were giving her a headache.

Lu Mingyu generously said, “Since you sincerely apologized, Yang Yang and I will forgive you.”

Pei Yiwu was puzzled.

Jiang Yanzhou made Lu Yang angry, and he apologized to Lu Yang, so what was the point of rushing to ask for forgiveness?

Mount Fuji could not keep the falling cherry blossoms, and she couldn’t guess Lu Mingyu’s thought process either.

Suddenly, Jiang Yanzhou’s chest trembled, and he coughed heavily. Lu Mingyu: “Are you having an episode?”

Jiang Yanzhou looked towards Lu Yang and said, “…My chest feels uncomfortable for a moment, but it’s nothing.”

Lu Mingyu reached out and pressed on Jiang Yanzhou’s chest through his clothes, saying, “It feels pretty comfortable.”

Everyone:

Everyone: .

He even remembered to invite Lu Yang to feel it too.

Lu Mingyu said to Jiang Yanzhou, “Relax, with your sister here, any difficult problems can be solved.”

Lu Yang:

Her brother’s way of speaking was really fragmented, and each segment of his meaning seemed to sound different to other people..
