章 42: 029 Yuanxi

"Buzz... buzz..."

Next to the pillow, the cell phone vibrated continuously, waking the sleeping person on the bed.

Lu Ran, with bleary eyes, fumbled beside the pillow and finally picked up the phone, murmuring, "Hello?"

"Sis!" On the other end of the line came a sweet voice.

"Who is it?" Lu Ran sat up, feeling a pounding headache.

Why did I feel more tired the more I slept?

"My silly brother!"

On the phone, the girl's voice came with dissatisfaction, "I already called you 'brother,' who else could it be?"

"Yuanxi," Lu Ran slapped his forehead, "I was totally confused."

Qiao Yuansi, Lu Ran's younger sister by one year, took her mother Qiao Wanjun's surname.

Though their parents' divorce had them living apart since childhood, it didn't affect their close bond.

And when Lu Ran was 13, his mother took him back to Beijing, where he and his sister lived under the same roof for three years, fostering a strong relationship.
