Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

Zhao Yanshu’s words were still stuck in his throat when Jiang Yanzhou preemptively spoke. “I’ll go get something and let Zhao Yanshu keep you company for a while.”

Lu Yang replied, “Okay.”

Zhao Yanshu immediately politely said, “What do you need? Shall I go get it?”

“Sure.” Jiang Yanzhou agreed easily and ordered, “Bring the shoes and socks from the trunk.”

Zhao Yanshu was speechless and mused, “Damn it, I’m being used!”

But he still had to put on a smile for Lu Yang.

Zhao Yanshu happily handed the coffee in his hand to Lu Yang. “Warm your hands, warm your stomach.”

Lu Yang took it. “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Zhao Yanshu glared at Jiang Yanzhou and whispered, “You don’t deserve it!”

A scheming man doesn’t deserve to have coffee!

Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Yang were baffled.

As Zhao Yanshu left, Jiang Yanzhou pulled over a chair, held her wrist, and let her sit down. Then, he squatted down, assuming a half-kneeling position, and lowered his head, looking at her feet.

Lu Yang’s eyes were misty as she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yanzhou reached out and untied her shoelaces, slowly taking off her shoes. “You didn’t even notice that your shoes were wet.”

With no one else around, Jiang Yanzhou no longer concealed his feelings. He lifted his chin and looked at her, saying, “Lu Yang, when will you start taking care of yourself?”

His tone lacked reproach and was filled with helplessness.

When they left the hospital today, a sudden heavy rain poured down from the sky. Her shoes and socks were soaked by the rainwater.

She noticed it but wasn’t in a hurry, planning to change them when she got back.

Jiang Yanzhou’s sturdy palm cradled Lu Yang’s foot, giving it a slight squeeze that was barely perceptible. Lu Yang was startled and tried to retract her foot, but he didn’t let go.

At this moment, she suddenly felt at a loss for words. Even her rarely blushing earlobes began to redden and gradually warm up.

“Don’t move,” Jiang Yanzhou whispered. Lu Yang pursed her lips and allowed him to remove her other shoe as well.

The man’s fingers pressed slightly on the soft bone between her foot and ankle, teasingly applying a bit of force, as if playing with something.

Lu Yang’s pupils trembled, and her foot involuntarily trembled for a moment.

Then, she hesitated and said, “Jiang Yanzhou, stop playing around.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yanzhou’s tone contained a smile, and although he verbally agreed, he didn’t let go of her hand.

Her sensitive spot was just as well hidden as the person herself.

“Have you been busy lately?” Jiang Yanzhou casually started a conversation.

“Not really,” Lu Yang absentmindedly replied.

“Why haven’t I seen you then? Don’t you want to see me?”

Lu Yang’s mind was focused on the foot he was holding. She lowered her gaze, appearing in a trance-like state.

“You’re in a bad mood, and I came here to cheer you up, but you rejected me,” Jiang Yanzhou said. “Heartless liar.”

Lu Yang had been pondering a surgical case for the past few days, fully absorbed in her thoughts, feeling a bit down. To cheer her up, Lu Mingyu had made every effort to make her laugh.

Thinking of her silly brother who cosplayed as the Prince of Tennis, Lu Yang couldn’t help but smile. “I’m not in a bad mood, and besides, whether I’m happy or not, apart from my brother, no one cares.”

“I care.”

He stared directly into her eyes and repeated, “I care.”

For a moment, Lu Yang felt that he was not holding her foot, but her heart.

It was as if something had pulled at the depths of her soul, not a forceful tug on her arm, but a subtle tug.

Not far away, a pair of eyes had been watching them intently for a long time.

Zhao Yanshu’s return broke the strange atmosphere.

“Hahaha!” Zhao Yanshu didn’t expect to see such a scene, but he guessed right: the gentle one was Jiang Yanzhou, not Lu Yang.

“I put the shoes and socks here,” Zhao Yanshu glanced a few times at Jiang Yanzhou, who was focused on wiping Lu Yang’s feet, and said, “I’m going to talk to the director about the upcoming shooting.”

Jiang Yanzhou: “Okay, thanks for your hard work.”

Lu Yang tried to pull her foot back but to no avail. She said to him, “I can put them on myself.”

“I took them off,” Jiang Yanzhou said earnestly, “so I should be the one to put them on.”

Lu Yang hesitated to speak.

But she didn’t stop him from taking off her shoes and socks either.

Gu Liye was looking for Lu Yang and happened to run into Zhao Yanshu. “Hello.”

Zhao Yanshu looked surprised and asked, “Where is Dr. Gu going?”

“To find junior sister.”

“Jiang Yanzhou is helping Lu Yang change her shoes. You can wait for a while before going in. It would be awkward to go in now. I feel like a huge third wheel.”

Zhao Yanshu treated Gu Liye as Jiang Yanzhou’s love rival. A good manager had to help his own actor eliminate love rivals..
