Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

“The dull and lengthy life, just like reliving the same day countless times in this remote snow-covered town. How can it be changed? The answer given by the movie is – to love others.”

Lu Yang usually doesn’t watch many movies. Previously, when she went to the movies, it was always with Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu watched her being born, watched her grow up, accompanied her through every important moment in life, and carefully took care of her feelings. His inner world was more sensitive than many others.

His heart was like a marshmallow, melting at the slightest touch. Even while watching a comedy like “Toy Story” with frequent punchlines, he could associate it with her growth and start worrying about her future.

Half of Lu Yang’s face was cast in shadow, while the other half was illuminated

by light. Jiang Yanzhou looked at her and asked, “Do you agree with this viewpoint?”

“I neither agree nor disagree.”

Lu Yang got up from him, raised her hand and pressed her neck, and casually said, “Philosophy, rather than being ‘love of wisdom,’ is better described as ‘facing pain.’ Love is not a feeling, it is a sensation of pain.”

Jiang Yanzhou rested his hand on the back of the sofa, playfully twirling a few strands of her hair. Upon hearing her words, his gaze flickered, and the uncontrollable movement of his hand increased in intensity as his fingertips glided across the skin on the back of her neck.

A tingling electric current instantly rushed through Lu Yang’s brain nerves, causing her mind to go blank for a brief moment.

Jiang Yanzhou’s mind was in chaos for two seconds. He moved his arm away from the sofa, took hold of her hand—his hand much larger than hers—and easily clenched it.

Jiang Yanzhou’s lips curved slightly, and he called out softly, “Lu Yang.” Lu Yang didn’t react, so he held the back of her head and pulled her into his embrace.

“We won’t go back tonight, ” Jiang Yanzhou lightly bumped his chin against her shoulder and said, his warm breath brushing against her neck, slightly scorching. “Is that okay?”

He had just finished taking a shower, and his whole body exuded a pleasant fragrance.

The warm embrace and the faint scent made Lu Yang feel even more relaxed.

“Why not go back? What would we do?” She comfortably closed her eyes.

“You’re afraid of needles, and I can’t give you acupuncture.”

Jiang Yanzhou chuckled softly, his laughter gentle and incredibly pleasant, stirring one’s heart.

“Be your male model for your research,” he said.

Lu Yang suddenly became spirited, opening her eyes. Her pair of bright black eyes were dazzling. “Really?”

“Really.”

Within seconds, Lu Yang became sluggish again and said languidly, “No, your mind is too normal; it’s not attractive.”

Jiang Yanzhou: “?”

“Come find me when you’re not normal one day.”

Lu Yang pushed him away, preparing to get up and put on her shoes, but he scooped her up in his arms.

“No need for research. It’s time to sleep,” he said.

She was surprised for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning against his chest, listening to his reassuring and strong heartbeat.

After he put her down and covered her with the blanket, Lu Yang finally realized that she was in his room.

Jiang Yanzhou took a poetry collection, lifted the blanket, and lay down beside her.

Lu Yang blinked her bright eyes, looked at him, and asked, “Didn’t you say you like to sleep without clothes?”

Her question always had a way of surprising people.

Jiang Yanzhou smirked and said, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself. ”

He was afraid she would want to dissect him.

Today, Lu Yang was truly exhausted from encountering too many things.

Jiang Yanzhou extended an arm for her to hold onto while he held a book with his other hand, flipping the pages skillfully with one hand.

Lu Yang gazed at the book, recalling the soothing and melodious voice from her dream. Lost in thought, she murmured, “So it wasn’t a dream.” “You’ll sleep here tonight, and I’ll go to the guest room once you’re asleep,

Lu Yang’s eyes roamed over his face for a while before she said, “You’re quite peculiar.”

“What’s peculiar about it?”

“You went through all this trouble to bring me here, but you’re going to sleep in another room alone.”

Everything was meticulously selected.

“But it doesn’t make people feel out of place.

Jiang Yanzhou lightly scratched her hand and honestly spoke his mind, “It was just a polite remark earlier. I don’t plan on leaving this room tonight.” Sitting beside her, watching her sleep was also a great pleasure.

Lu Yang: Jiang Yanzhou, you’re really a bit perverted.”

Jiang Yanzhou chuckled, “I accept that with pride.”

Lu Yang:

He took pride in it.

In the comforting male voice, Lu Yang entered a deep sleep.

Jiang Yanzhou gently brushed aside the hair on her cheek and looked at her face, unable to help but smile.

Lu Yang seemed to have always trusted him, but she also understood the dynamics between men and women.

It could be said that only the ignorant were afraid.

Jiang Yanzhou stared at her trembling eyelashes and recalled her words from earlier, causing a warm current to flow through his body.

Those were the words he had once told her.

Even if she didn’t remember, she could recite them word for word.

He had influenced her, and she had influenced him.

Jiang Yanzhou lowered his voice to a whisper and said, “Even if you travel through time and space, even if you temporarily become a god, if your state of mind doesn’t change, life will still be empty.”

He said that love is a sensation of pain, and to love someone is to face that pain.

She said that love should change a person’s state of mind.

The two of them grew up in completely different environments, but their souls unexpectedly matched perfectly.

As the dawn broke, Lu Yang woke up and received a call from Lu Mingyu.

Due to the time difference, he had heavy panda eyes, looking comical.

“Brother, did you go steal bamboo again last night?” Lu Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “You have such dark circles.”

“Not everyone has the opportunity to take our national treasure to the world.” Lu Mingyu propped up his chin and played with his bangs, “Don’t idolize me too much, I’m just a national treasure.”

Lu Yang burst into laughter.

Whoever heard of a national treasure being so self-obsessed.

But then again, he was a Kung Fu Panda, while her own brother was a silly panda.

A panda version of a dog.

Seeing his sister laugh, Lu Mingyu’s entire face lit up. But soon he realized that Lu Yang wasn’t in the riverside house or at their family’s home.

Lu Mingyu became cautious, “Yangyang, aren’t you at home?”

Lu Yang turned her head and happened to see Jiang Yanzhou changing his clothes in front of the wardrobe, his bare skin captivating and eye-catching.

‘…Brother, I’m at someone else’s house.”

Lu Mingyu: “Did you tell Jiang Yanzhou? You should inform him to ensure your safety.”

Lu Yang didn’t hide anything, “Brother, this is his house.”

Lu Mingyu sighed in relief, “That’s good. I thought you ran into trouble.”

Lu Yang:

Why did her silly brother trust Jiang Yanzhou so much?

Regarding this, Lu Yang still hadn’t figured it out.

“Brother, go to sleep quickly.” Seeing Lu Mingyu yawn, Lu Yang urged, “If you don’t sleep soon, you’ll turn into a black cat.”

“Chief Black Cat, present!” Lu Mingyu reacted quickly, “Yo yo, Chief Black Cat!

Hey!”

Lu Yang:

“Not wanting to be a Chief Black Cat isn’t being a good chief!” Lu Mingyu confidently declared, “Not wanting to be a panda’s brother isn’t being a good brother!” Lu Yang:

Going insane.

Lack of sleep could easily lead to a mental breakdown.

Her brother was the perfect example..
