Chapter 19
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Lin Xinmeng said, âItâs windy here at night. Maybe the wind blew your tent to the beach. â
Qin Yitan didnât believe her at all. âWhy did the wind only blow mine?â
Zhou Moli, who had been silent all this time, interrupted, âYou woke up before Lu Mingyu. Logically speaking, he shouldnât be able to touch your tent.â
âHow do you know he didnât drag my tent into the sea last night?â Qin Yitan asked.
âYou wouldâve screamed last night if Lu Mingyu did it. You wouldnât have waited until this morning.â
Lin Xinmeng raised her head to look at Zhou Moli, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.
She thought, âWas he trying to help me out just now? Is he speaking up for me?â
As they tried to reason with each other, Wen Jian suddenly exclaimed, âLu Yang, you went to pick coconuts?â
Everyone turned to look at Lu Yang, only to see her carrying two coconuts. In that instant, the joy in Lu Yangâs eyes faded and returned to normal.
Lin Xinmeng stood between Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyu, while Zhou Moli stood behind Lin Xinmeng.
There was no need to ask to guess what had happened.
Meeting Lu Mingyuâs eyes, Lu Yangâs heart was filled with emotions. She mused, âMy innocent brother has the center of conflict again in the blink of an eye.
âYes,â Lu Yang replied.
The crowd looked at Lu Yang in disbelief as their eyes widened.
Yesterday, they had tried climbing up the tree to pick coconuts, but they had slid down after climbing less than a meter and couldnât touch them at all.
The question was, how did Lu Yang get the coconuts?
Lu Mingyu strode in front of Lu Yang and reached out his hands. âYangyang, let me help you take them.â
Naturally, Lu Yang would not reject the offer of someone wanting to do physical labor.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The picture of a pair of harmonious siblings stirred unsettledness in somebodyâs eyes.
Qin Yitan turned around and looked at Lu Yang. âIf itâs not Lu Mingyu, then itâs very likely to be Lu Yang, who woke up earlier than everyone else.â
âThatâs impossible!â Lu Mingyu denied his accusation.
âWhy is it impossible?â
Qin Yitan was furious. âYouâre in cahoots with your sister. Itâs not the first time youâve tried to drag me into this.â
Lu Yang turned her head and saw that Qin Yitanâs tent was still submerged in the water. As time passed, it was getting closer to the center of the ocean.
Someone commented,
âFloat! Float to the center of the ocean. Shake down the zipper and quickly sink the tent!â
Lu Mingyu said impolitely, âTsk! Youâre saying we tried so hard to drag your tent into the water? Are you a carp or a grass carp? Even a salted fish is more useful than you.â
Lu Yang liked to hear Lu Mingyuâs scolding, but this matter still had to be resolved.
Lu Mingyu, who could not resort to using violence, started scolding again.
âYouâre saying that I pushed your tent to the water and wanted you to drown?â Lu Yang turned her head and asked Qin Yitan.
She didnât upset anyone because of her serious demeanor and sincere tone.
However, Qin Yitan was shaken up by her words deep inside.
It was her intention for the audience to believe that Lu Mingyu wanted to take his life with her comments. However, he was still inexplicably terrified when he realized Lu Yangâs words hit the nail on the head.
Lin Xinmeng was flabbergasted. Who would have thought that Lu Yang would be so direct?
Probability system: âHost, please keep your mission in mind at all times.â
The systemâs voice pulled Lin Xinmeng back from her thoughts. She smiled and relaxed her facial muscles. She said, âLu Yang, youâre such a joker. Thatâs not what Qin Yitan meant. He just wants to know the truth. He doesnât have any ill intentions.â
âLu Yang must be overthinking things. How could she think that Qin Yitan is such a vicious person?â
âQin Yitan was last yearâs male singer of the year. Lu Mingyu is nothing! Donât try to leech off the popularity!â
âLetâs not talk about other things. Just based on popularity alone, isnât Lu Mingyu the one who completely outclassed Qin Yitan?â
Wen Jian, who had received Lu Yangâs help, chimed in, âLu Yang was just asking. Our top priority now is to get Qin Yitanâs tent back. Otherwise, we wonât be able to get it back if it floats away.â
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Qin Yitanâs tent drifted toward the center of the sea.
Wen Jian, âAh, this...â
Everyone was at a loss for words.
âWen Jian!â Qin Yitan gritted his teeth.
âItâs not my fault,â Wen Jian replied innocently.
âHahahahaha! Wen Jianâs jinx was caused by the wind.â
Lu Yangâs clear voice sounded. âThe reason why your tent is in the sea is obvious. You havenât chosen a good place to set up your tent.â
âThatâs nonsense!â Qin Yitan pointed at Wen Jianâs tent and tried to explain, âI set up Wen Jianâs tent too, and the location is the same. Sheâs lighter than me too, so why is her tent still intact?!â
Lu Yang replied as if she was answering a teacherâs question, âThatâs because her tent has been stabilized for the second time. â
Wen Jian, who was mentioned, turned her gaze back from the tent frantically and nodded. âI felt the tent was a little crooked, so I asked Lu Yang to help fix it.â
At that time, Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyu were fighting for coconuts, so they naturally did not notice.
Qin Yitan, who knew the truth, was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide.
He finally knew what it felt like to have to go for wool and come home shorn.
âIâm back! Guys, I went to watch last nightâs live broadcast at twenty times the speed and finally saw the truth. Qin Yitanâs tent was indeed blown away by the wind. It wasnât Lu Mingyu or Lu Yang who did it.â
...
âEh? Iâve already edited the Twitter headline for Lu Mingyu, and youâre telling me this?â
âI watched this show to find Lu Mingyuâs scandals, but where the f*ck is his scandals?â
