Chapter 6
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Chen Su and Xiao Liu exchanged a few words in a low voice, occasionally casting glances at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang could guess that it had something to do with her.
She heard a flattering voice coming from within the room before she entered.
âTeacher Jiang, itâs an honor to have you here! If thereâs anything you need, donât hesitate to let us know!â
Before filming began, the program teamâs photography team arrived to interview Lu Mingyu. They did not expect to bump into Jiang Yanzhou here, so they called the director over right away.
Zhao Yanshu replied, âDirector, weâre here to visit the set in secret. You donât have to let people know. You neednât be concerned about us. You guys can go ahead.â
When Lu Yang entered, the director was greeting a man with a flattering smile.
The atmosphere was noticeably chillier as the man appeared to have no desire to speak.
The director stood at the side and kept quiet out of fear.
Lu Yang continued walking without pausing. She turned her gaze to Lu Mingyu, who was being interviewed not far away.
She did not plan to enter the entertainment industry. Lu Yang simply took part in this variety performance for her beloved brotherâs sake. She thus turned down all of these interviews and film projects.
âDid you make any preparations for the variety show? For instance, learning survival skills in advance?â
The staff member stood by the camera and posed the questions he had prepared in advance.
âYes.â Lu Mingyu answered, âIâve been reading recently.â
The staff questioned, âWhat are you reading?â
Lu Mingyu proclaimed confidently, âNovels.â
The staff member was speechless.
âWow. He must be really diligent and eager to learn,â he thought sarcastically.
âTeacher Lu, may I ask what advantages you have?â
âA good-looking face.â
The staff was at a loss for words once more.
The interview was over in a flash. When Lu Mingyu saw Lu Yang, he strode forward and smiled. âYangyang, Iâve got a surprise for you!â
âWhat surprise?â Lu Yang hesitated.
âItâs him.â
Lu Mingyu dragged Lu Yang to a spot in front of Jiang Yanzhou. Lu Yang then turned to face the person in front of her.
His eyes had a natural coldness to them, his nose bridge was high, and his features were clean and distinct. It had a certain frail beauty to it.
Even though she had grown up seeing such a handsome man as Lu Mingyu, she could not help but take a second glance.
âJiang Yanzhou, this is my younger sister, Lu Yang. My younger sister is also your younger sister.â
Lu Mingyu lifted his chin slightly and was in a good mood. âYangyang, call him brother.â
Lu Yang was speechless.
Jiang Yanzhouâs eyes flickered with a perplexing glint, and he made a faint smile that did not reach his eyes. âHello,â he said.
He spoke with a clear, pleasant voice that had a familiar feel. Jiang Yanzhou raised his tone slightly at the end, not frivolously or seductively, but more like a dragonfly skimming the waterâs surface.
Lu Yangâs pupils contracted unnoticeably, then she said slowly, âHello.â
Lu Mingyu tilted his head and asked in a lowered voice, âYangyang, I have brought your idol here to cheer you on. Are you happy?â
Lu Yang then remembered that in the two years that she was gone, this body had been frantically pursuing celebrities.
However, although âLu Yangâ was a fan of celebrities, she had a good eye. She only followed Jiang Yanzhou, who was regarded as the most attractive man in the domestic entertainment industry.
Jiang Yanzhouâs updates were all over her social media account, and Lu Yang didnât have time to delete them.
Lu Mingyu seemed to have specially invited Jiang Yanzhou to make her happy.
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and hinted, âJiang Yanzhou, youâre here to visit my sister at the set, arenât you?â
Jiang Yanzhou understood what Lu Mingyu meant and shifted his gaze to Lu Yangâs face. âIâm here to show my support for you.â
Lu Yang was speechless.
âAn idol supporting a fan? Thatâs absurd,â she mused.
âThank you,â Lu Yang replied with a fake smile.
Lu Mingyu responded, âWhatâs there to thank? This is the support team that Iâve specially got for you. Just accept it! Thereâs no need to thank me!â
Lu Yang gulped.
âMingyu, did you kidnap him?â
âIf he had really been kidnapped, he would have blinked for help.â
Lu Yang glanced at Jiang Yanzhou. She felt that such a perfect person should not be hanging out with her silly brother.
If he wasnât kidnapped, then her brother must have spent quite a sum to get him here.
âYangyang, just go for it if you want to work in the entertainment industry.â
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and continued, âJiang Yanzhou and I will be your right and left hands. Weâll protect you!â
Jiang Yanzhou didnât express his thoughts on this declaration. He glanced at Lu Mingyu coldly.
âGet ready to start filming!â Chen Su raised his voice and walked in, nodding slightly at Jiang Yanzhou.
âThe program team is ready.â Chen Su said, âWe can find another time later if you want to visit the set.â
...
Lu Mingyu still had some things to discuss with Jiang Yanzhou, so he asked Chen Su to bring Lu Yang away first.
Chen Su occasionally cast troubled and happy glances at Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Mingyu.
Lin Xinmeng, who was getting to know Zhou Wuli, caught Lu Yangâs attention.
Lin Xinmeng was the most beautiful girl in the film academy. She debuted after acting as the female lead of a campus drama adapted from a novel, so she was quite famous.
Lu Mingyu said, âYouâll have to come to visit me on set every three to five days to make sure that my sister will not be affected by my anti-fans before the end of the showâs recording. Iâll definitely give you the video after the variety show.â
âYouâre threatening me?â Jiang Yanzhou asked.
Lu Mingyu chuckled and said, âNo, no, no! This is called an equivalent exchange. Besides, my sister is also your sister. Isnât it a brotherâs duty to protect his sister? Weâre our sisterâs left and right arms!â
Jiang Yanzhou replied, âLeft and right arms? You can behave sillily yourself.â
âThen, you agree! Itâs not in vain that I saved you two years ago and missed my sisterâs 18th birthday.â
Lu Mingyu clicked his tongue and muttered, âYou donât know this, but my sister is very clingy to me. Just because I didnât celebrate her birthday, her personality changed drastically after that day. Sheâs unreasonable and not cute at all. However, itâs good that sheâs back to being cute again.â
Looking at Lu Yangâs back, Lu Mingyu sighed. âWho would have thought that a 20-year-old girl was only an 18-year-old teenager two years ago?â
...
Jiang Yanzhou was speechless and mused, âAny normal person will be able to think of this.â
The program teamâs staff came over to urge him. Lu Mingyu did not say anything more. He repeatedly massaged his left shoulder with his fist.
âYouâll have a sister in the future, so donât thank me too much!â
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.
Lu Mingyu used his sister to help him win Jiang Yanzhou when they played games previously. That was something that could be written into his glorious life story.
Lu Mingyu texted: âI have a sister. Do you?â
Jiang Yanzhou texted back: âNo.â
Lu Mingyu went on: âI have a younger sister whoâs still in school. Do you have one?â
Jiang Yanzhou responded: â... No.â
Lu Mingyu continued: âI have a beautiful sister. Do you?â
Jiang Yanzhou responded: â... No.â
Lu Mingyu went on exclaiming: âI have a younger sister who loves me. Do you?â
Jiang Yanzhou asked: âHow many sisters do you have?â
Lu Mingyu texted back proudly: âOne!â
Jiang Yanzhou was rendered speechless.
Nine questions in one game, and four of them were all about his sister.
When Zhao Yanshu walked over, Jiang Yanzhou was still in standing the same area. Zhao Yanshu stared at the casts not far away, and he could not help but click his tongue. âYou donât say. Lu Mingyuâs sister is really pretty.â
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yanzhou suddenly asked, âHave you seen her before?â
Zhao Yanshu did not expect him to ask this question and hurriedly said, âIâve never seen her before.â
Seeing that Jiang Yanzhou was silent again, Zhao Yanshu asked nosily, âDo you know Lu Mingyuâs sister?â
Jiang Yanzhou seemed to have thought about it carefully, and his voice was indifferent. âMaybe.â
Zhao Yanshu was speechless.
