Chapter 168: Chapter 168 My Life Is Given By Mingyu 1
Jiang Yanzhou’s hand on the steering wheel tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand became more prominent. He didn’t dare to look at her expression, as he was afraid to see an answer he wouldn’t like.
Lu Yang silently shifted her gaze away from his hand on the steering wheel.
Since Jiang Yanzhou expressed his feelings, she hadn’t dared to touch him recklessly, and now was definitely not a good time to hold hands.
The air grew heavy with silence.
After a while, Jiang Yanzhou restrained his trembling heart and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s late. Let’s head up and rest properly.”
The black short hair in front of the man’s forehead drooped, concealing the darkness in his eyes.
Lu Yang sensed a current of air bouncing back between her atrium and ventricle. Motionless, she stared at his profile for a long time before saying, “Gu Liye doesn’t resonate with me.”
The one who can truly resonate with her soul was the person who can bring her tranquility.
They were Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou.
One can make her lose control, while the other can make her calm.
There would not be another person in this world who can have such an influence over her.
“Senior brother, it can only be senior brother,” Lu Yang’s face looked weary, and her nerves relaxed. She turned her gaze to the window and let out an almost inaudible sigh before continuing, “But my brother is not just my brother. ”
Ye Cixing said he didn’t look into her and her brother’s affairs, so there were things she didn’t say and he didn’t understand the importance of her brother to her.
Jiang Yanzhou turned his head to look at her. Lu Yang leaned her head against the car window, gently closing her eyes, and said weakly, “My life was given to me by my brother.”
It was a fact that Lu Yang had poor health as a child. With her grandparents, she managed to take care of her body, thinking there were no major issues. However, one day, she was diagnosed with acute liver failure, which had a high mortality rate.
She had been critically ill to the point where she couldn’t take care of herself. Lu Mingyu said it was a fact that she couldn’t take care of herself.
Lu Yang clearly remembered lying in the hospital bed, weak and exhausted. When her eyelids became heavy and began to close, Lu Mingyu came running to her, panting, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Two days before Lu Mingyu’s college entrance examination, he learned that his liver was a suitable match for Lu Yang. However, she couldn’t wait for him to finish the exam.
On June 7th, Lu Mingyu rushed from the examination hall to the hospital. It was urgent. He had to transplant his liver to his younger sister.
Lu Yang would never forget that day. Before her brother entered the operating room, he told her a not-so-funny joke. He said, “Yangyang, do you know why Zhu Bajie likes to stand under the streetlight at night? Because it wants us to call it ‘Night Bright Pig’!”
When Lu Mingyu came out of the operating room, the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet, and his mind was sluggish. He told the joke again, and Lu Yang laughed once more.
Lu Mingyu excelled in his art college entrance exam, only lacking in academic scores to enter the coveted music school. The doctors said Lu Yang’s condition suddenly worsened, and she could wait for him to finish the exam, but Lu Mingyu didn’t believe it.
He couldn’t gamble on that.
Future opportunities may come again, dreams can be pursued elsewhere, but there was only one sister.
On June 10th, Lu Mingyu spent his eighteenth birthday in the hospital. He didn’t desire a prosperous future or a flourishing life. He made a promise:
Lu Mingyu would forever protect his sister.
Later on, he repeated a year and successfully entered the music school, gradually forgetting about this matter, but he never misspoke.
Jiang Yanzhou looked at her and noticed her eyelashes trembling slightly. His heart felt as if it was tightly squeezed by an invisible stone, and a tingling sensation ran through his heart like an electric current.
Lu Yang opened her eyes, and a thin layer of mist covered them. “I only have one brother. I can’t let him get hurt, nor can I let him miss out on his dreams.”
The people who truly love you feel more despair than you do when they see your dreams unable to come true.
“You’re tired,” Jiang Yanzhou interrupted her words, reaching out to cover her hand and said in a deep voice, “I’ll take you upstairs.”
With that, he got out of the car, walked around the front, and opened the car door for her.
As she got out of the car, he grabbed her wrist. Lu Yang instinctively flinched, trying to pull her wrist away, but in vain. She said, “I can walk on my own.”
Upon hearing this, the man released her wrist, but his knuckles moved down a bit, and his fingers instantly slipped through her interlaced fingers.
Their fingers intertwined, holding tightly.
Lu Yang’s heart skipped a beat as she stood still, looking at him in confusion.
Perhaps it was due to continuous days of non-stop filming, Jiang Yanzhou’s voice sounded deeper and huskier than usual, and the trailing tone carried a hint of a smile as it slipped into her heart.
“May I hold your hand?”
“Any request, whether reasonable or unreasonable, made by anyone, you have the right to refuse. It’s your prerogative..”
