Chapter 20: Ploy

Shi Fan inwardly cursed himself for lately realizing his sister's ploy. He was about to leave the taxi and head to the store when his phone rang. To his surprise, the caller was actually and unexpectedly. His own sister.

"Brother!" Shi Jieun shouted at the phone not realizing her mistake.

"SHI JIEUNNNN! I SWEAR TO MYSELF TO NEVER ALLOW YOU TO USE MY CARD AGAIN. Come here promise I won't kill you that moment I see your face." Shi Fan angrily shouted at the phone.

"Brother my bags are too heavy come help me pleaseee..." the cute voice of Shi Jieun can be heard. What amazes Shi Fan is that she is actually pleading to him not realizing her mistake. However, Shi Fan didn't know that Shi Jieun is currently muting him.

He ended the call and muttered to himself. "I'll just kill him the moment we get home." he then bound his phone to the taxi and the car door unlocked. Binding your phone/ electronic devices is a common measure to avoid those people who take a cab and forget to pay. If they reached the destination without paying the taxi door automatically closes and the only way out is to pay, bind your phone or face imprisonment. Binding occurs when the last person in the taxi decided to temporary leave however they must bind it to ensure that they are not able to run anywhere within a hundred-meter radius.

Seeing as the taxi door was now unlocked he immediately dashed inside. The moment he got inside he can see a crowd of men gathering around and talking to someone.

"Come let me help you miss it must be heavy."

" Yeah, you bought so many things we should help you."

"Where do you live miss? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Shi Fan upon realizing what they are doing looked for his sister and to his surprise she was actually the person causing a commotion. Seeing as these "Good Samaritans" are only there to hit on her she immediately caught notice of her brother.

"Boyfie! I'm here!" Shi Jieun wave to Shi Fan sweetly as if they just met after a few weeks of not meeting each other. The group of men immediately turned around and can see a weak-looking youth awkwardly smiling and killing intent seems to gush out from them.

Shi Fan is a hundred and one percent sure what they were thinking.

"That darn girl is teasing me again." He stared angrily at Shi Jieun who is still busily waving at him. He immediately walked towards her direction and the group of men immediately parted Shi Fan's guard immediately tensed up to prevent any "surprise attacks". The moment he reached where Shi Jieun is his eyes grew wide in shock. There are actually 8 bags that were completely full of items. Shi Fan can even see a god darn Portable Fan in one of the bags. He cried inside silently as he remembered that almost 6000 credits went down the drain. He began to carry 8 of the bags and left. The people around them stared wide in shock at Shi Fan. After all, those bags are large in size and he alone carried 8 of them. Despite his weak looking body he is actually strong to the point he had no problem carrying them all that he is still even actually have the mood to scold her girlfriend. They immediately dispersed regretting their own selves for not being chosen by the cute girl from earlier.

They again entered the taxi. As a gentleman, Shi Jieun went inside the car first while he put all of the bags in front, then followed suit inside the backseat. With both of his hands, he immediately pinched both Shi Jieun's cheeks.

"JIEUN! I already told you a million times not to call me your boyfriend! I almost died back there if I actually acted as your boyfriend." Shi Fan couldn't help but shudder upon remembering that one past event in his life. Some time after when Shi Jieun jokingly said that her brother is his boyfriend there was actually one rich guy who noticed the similarities of the both of them it even got to the point he bribed the school nurse to get Shi Jieun and Shi Fan's DNA, as the school always take tabs of them for medical purposes. Luckily when the results came out Shi Fan was already on his way to Xenovia Planet. Otherwise, he will surely be beaten up for fooling them as they cannot blame Shi Jieun as she is too beautiful and too innocent that they concluded that Shi Fan was the one who started the plot. It was also one of the reasons he will not return to his former planet.

"Brother promise I'll pay you." Shi Jieun raised her snow-white hand like she was taking an oath. She actually ignored the warning of her brother completely.

"How will you do that huh as far as I know you are currently schooling so what are you doing here. Plus did father even know you are here?"

Shi Fan angrily said. He began dialing a number that connected after a few beeps.

"Father." he spoke in a respectful tone.

"Oh? Shi Fan what is it?" a warm-toned voice came from the phone.

"Where's Shi Jieun?" Shi Fan flatly asked.

"She's having a vacation. She didn't tell me whereas she said that she's now independent to go where she wants to go." Shi Fan's stepdad spoke in a proud voice. To Shi Fan, however, he stared angrily at the person pouting beside him.

"Okay then. Thanks, dad." Shi Fan respectfully said.

"Mhm. Take care always son." despite Shi Fan not being his real child he also wants to become a father to him. He ended the call after that.

"Brother let me explain." Shi Jieun immediately spoke the moment the call dropped.

"Did you intended that incident?" Shi Fan not giving her time to explain. Immediately questioned the legitimacy of the incident she has done. It was common practice, after all, how could she forget such a simple mistake.

"Hehe, I intended it. But I didn't know there was a spaceship about to leave." Shi Jieun said while softly laughing.

"Why? Do you know that father will find out if you did that?" Shi Fan scolded her again.

"But... I called you to pick me up. I have no other choice but to do that." Shi Jieun spoke in an apologetic tone then slowly pouted. Despite her teasing to Shi Fan, he is still her big brother whom she shared the same blood of their mother.

Shi Fan inwardly cursed himself when he remembered that his sister asked for him to pick her up but she ignored it thinking she was just joking. Her meticulous planning actually worked with amazing thinking about the pros and cons then he remembered again how intelligent his sister actually.
