Chapter 355
“Well—I’ll say ‘thank you’ then I guess,” said Lu Bai as he passed her the lightest bag in his grip .
They headed to the carpark and placed their groceries in the back of the car .
Lu Bai looked at her eyes inside the rear mirror, “Sorry for troubling you again, madam from downstairs . If you have any problems, you can always come to me . ” He sat at the backseat with his legs closed .
Madam? Do I look that old?
“Well—my name is Lu Zhaoyang, you can call me that from now onwards, by the way,” said Zhaoyang wryly .
“Are we talking about the same ‘Lu’?” The surname caught Lu Bai’s interest .
“Is your ‘Lu’ the one that means ‘the land’?”
“Yup,” confirmed Lu Zhaoyang promptly as her eyes all focused on the road . She could hear the very soft gasps from the excited young man however .
“That’s my surname too! I’m Lu Bai . Bai as in snow-white . ” The little home-hogger had hardly encountered any human being . It was the first time he met someone with the exact surname as his . Akin to Columbus’s discovery, if you ask me .
“Mmmmmmhmmmmmm,” responded Lu approvingly, “That’s—a good name . At least it fits you . ”
Yup, name your child after their skin color . Very liberalistic parents .
“How do I word your name, Zhaoyang?”
“The morning sun,” answered Lu promptly .
“OH! That explains! No wonder you have such gorgeous smile! I still can’t believe we both have the same exact surname . Maybe we were families ages ago!” Lu Bai was sure excited as he leaned forward towards her, “So, is there anybody else in your family?”
Very good question! How should I summarize this? Can anyone in the comment section tell me?

“My father passed away when I was very young and my mother joined another family . ”
“Oh…” Lu Bai was a little stunned, “Well, both my parents passed away and I am all alone . It sounds like you’re alone too and we both share the same surname . I’m 23 this year . It shouldn’t be a problem if I address you as my elder sister, right? Sis?” Gleefully he said, with lovely dimples on his cheeks .
He is the typical handsome, young and sweet fellow one would see on Korean dramas these days . You know, the one who would hold your hands gently, make you lunchboxes and carry you when you broke your feet on your heels?
Imagine if Su Cheng sees it . Maybe he’ll be on KBS World or my Netflix’s news feed next month .
Especially when he’s so ‘sociable’ . What a way in getting yourself an elder sister .
“What’s with the silence, sis?” Lu Bai thought Zhaoyang did not like the new salutation at all, “Well—I’ll promise not to call you that anytime, anywhere, if that’s the case . ”
“It’s totally fine . I’m older than you anyway . Call me ‘sis’ then . ”

“Okie dokie . ” And Lu Bai finally went back to his seat .
They arrived by the apartment and went upstairs . Lu Bai was behind Zhaoyang, with a smile of a boy next to an ice cream truck .
“So, you stay alone?”
“… Sometimes . ” A safe answer from Zhaoyang, considering how the devil would show up from the underground at almost any second .
“Oh—my house is sort of occupied…” He wanted to say that he had guests at his place but he realized he should not tell that, “… by myself . Yeah, I’m staying alone too . ”
“I can see that . ”
Like if he does have guests over his place from time to time, he would have at least known it’s 4 degree Celsius today .

Zhaoyang could not help but snicker at his apparel .
“Sis—I have a request . Can I visit you whenever I’m free?” Asked the boy before she entered her accomodation .
“Well, weekends, yes . Weekdays, no . I’ll be working . ” She somehow liked the boy . At first she thought he might be a suspicious criminal on a runaway or something . However, the more she looked at him, the more he appeared to be a simple, even clumsy, adorable boy in his young adulthood .
“Alright then, see ya . I’ll be heading upstairs . ” Zhaoyang waved him goodbye before vanishing in her apartment as the young boy continued hitting the stairs above with the large bags .
His smile remained bright as ever as he pushed the door open, only to be swarmed by a scream from the inside, “HELLO BAI! Took you forever to get home, did you get hit by a bullet too? I just picked out mine . I’m weak . I need food . NOW!”
Wen He was on the bed with bandages over her arm . She might have appeared weak as a lamb, but her voice still packed a volume .
“Be quiet or starve to death,” said Lu Bai as he stormed into the kitchen .
“Ugh…” Wen He got up from the bed and dragged her body to the kitchen, “What’s with all these groceries? I only asked for ONE meal . I swear any bride in your home will be angered to death . Geez, do you know how saving works?”
