Chapter 39 The Tangled Name
"Little Lu Chen, where are we going now?" As he nibbled the bread and fruits that Lu Chen handed her, Sharon was so jealous that he could only find the topic to divert his attention.
"It's my first time going out. Of course I listen to you, but I don't want to go back the same way. Find a direction and go straight through the forest to go to the college. Also, at your age, you are not allowed to add the word "small" to my name in the future." Lu Chen said very toughly. It was fine before, but he still called it like this now. In the future, he would have to be a smaller section than her when he arrived at the college. That would be of no benefit to picking her up.
"Haha, I like it, I want you to care. But your name is really too difficult to pronounce. It's even more unpleasant to add the word "small". Lu Chen... If you have it, I will call you Chenchen and Xiao Chenchen in the future. How about this name? Haha, Xiao Chenchen, well, it's quite easy. By the way, Xiao Chenchen, what's your surname?" When it comes to the title, Sharon was excited. If this person she liked had a good surname, it would be easier to get along with the two of them, otherwise some of the noble flies surrounding her would annoy them.
Lu Chen was already unable to speak. His mind was repeatedly playing the scene where Sakuragi gave Mitsui Shou in "Slam Dunk" "Miss, Shoushou..."
"Haha, it's okay to call you Chenchen, right? Tell me your last name quickly." Sharon looked at Lu Chen with a happy look. In fact, she didn't want to call him Xiao, as that wouldn't be very good for her future plans.
"Okay, Chenchen is Chenchen. Anyway, that's a nickname, and it's also someone else's nickname for you. If you want to call me, just call me. When you get used to calling me, see if I'll take you that one." Lu Chen thought evilly in his heart for a while, and then replied: "Lu is my surname, Chen is my name, and in my hometown it means ~ like a dragon."
"Long, haha, just your little body, haha..." Despite Lu Chen's little face that was almost green, Sharon continued to say after she had laughed enough: "Well, I have heard of the single surname, but I have never heard of the surname Lu. Good Chenchen, you didn't lie to me? Is Lu representing Long in your hometown?" Based on the powerful reason that Lu Chen didn't even know what the teacher's name was, Sharon was very suspicious of what he said, but was afraid of hurting him, so he didn't dare to ask him directly, "Do you have a surname?"
Not everyone in this world has surnames. Surnames are only available to people with identities. They are inherited by honor, pride, dignity, etc. Some are inherited from the family itself, some are given surnames, some are inherited from a certain teacher, and a few are also established by themselves after becoming famous. All are for the purpose of continuing a certain inheritance. Of course, there are also special circumstances in which a certain surname will be hidden. Most of these situations are caused by someone who inherits the surname and feels that they are not worthy of it, so they hide it and dare not expose their surnames, fearing that they will humiliate their ancestors' surnames, and some common ones are to avoid disaster.
After a moment of speechlessness, Lu Chen suddenly realized that it was very laborious to explain Chinese names in another world, but for the sake of the beauty he had decided in front of him, he could only waste his saliva and continue to explain: "Chen has the meaning of an ancient dragon, and Lu Cai is homophonic... Forget it, it's not interesting to say it now. Ask me your surname, will people be looked down upon if there is no loud surname in this world?"
Lu Chen is not stupid. He once read in books when he was bored that in the pre-Middle-Ages where technology was underdeveloped, how much impact a good surname had on life, especially in Western culture, surnames were basically only available in ancient large families, so he was already prepared to use local surnames.
After all, I have already reached this other world. Even if I can go back, it is not something that I can do at the moment. Then it is necessary to integrate into this world and give up some of the original things, otherwise I would probably not be able to live well. Just like I was deliberately trapped by the five people in a dead trap, if I had escaped without caring at that time, Lu Chen believed that he could have left safely.
Seeing Lu Chen looking at him who was indifferent and helpless, Sharon was a little panicked when he asked this question: "No, no, I have no meaning at all. My surname was added by my mother to let me study in the college. I don't know if it was made up. If you don't mind, just use the same as me... Well, 'Lu Chen' can be your first surname." Seeing Lu Chen looking at her with a strange look, Sharon quickly added, she didn't want Lu Chen to misunderstand that he looked down on him.
Lu Chen looked at Sharon in panic with a little amusing. Although he didn't know whether the world had the concept of marriage, he was asked to use her surname, and the ambiguous relationship between the two now was a hint. However, Lu Chen was not sure about the customs of this world. If he really wanted to inherit a surname, it should be the teacher. But now he was embarrassed and didn't know what the teacher was named, nor did he know whether the teacher would like to let him use his surname.
"Okay, then, what do you call your noble surname?" Seeing Sharon's face getting worse and worse, his panic was changing to grievance, Lu Chen agreed in a joking tone. He knew that she really cared about him, maybe because he was afraid that he would be bullied at school, so he kindly wanted to share her surname with him.
"Hate, there is no noble place. My full name is Luosali, Sharon Sales, you name it..." Sharon immediately became happy when he heard Lu Chen agreeing, but he couldn't continue to say it halfway. The surname can be first, second, or even the ninth, but no one said anything about you. After all, most of the surnames that can be passed down represent glory, and the large number can also indicate the family's longevity. However, if Lu Chen is regarded as the first surname, his name will be gone.
"Hahahaha..." Lu Chen had thought of it for a long time. He was waiting here and when he saw her embarrassed look, he immediately smiled.
"...You are deliberately laughing at me, aren't you?" Sharon was so angry that he felt so angry that he felt so angry that he saw Lu Chen's hateful smile.
Seeing that Sharon had the urge to come up and take a bite, Lu Chen reluctantly restrained his smile and said, "No, haha, I just thought of it. It is indeed a bit troublesome to use my name in school. Since you gave me your last name, just think of a name for me."
"Hmph." Sharon didn't believe his words. She found that the guy in front of her was very bad, and she dug holes everywhere and waited for her to jump in. She must have to count the money for him even after he sold her. However, she still started to choose a name for him because she liked it.
"Matt, Matt, Knight, Ai Fan, Sean, Saiodo... Um~ Do you have anything you like? Don't just look at me." Sharon said with dissatisfaction when he found Lu Chen looking at him foolishly.
Lu Chen was indeed a little stupid. He didn't expect Sharon to report a series of names casually, as if he was naming a pet. He felt a collapse in his heart: "Then ~ Jay, Erwin, Angus, Diff, Divi, please try to choose one for me."
"It seems that it is really difficult to decide." Sharon was also confused now. She felt that these names that could be thought of immediately were indeed not very good.
“…”
"Luheen Sales. I'll use this name when I get to school. It's time to leave. It won't be fun if the lion and ape beast catches up." Seeing that Sharon finished his breakfast and had almost rested, Lu Chen reported the name he planned to use. After all, he will face this other world in the future, not a few people. The original Chinese name is really not suitable, but he still has a bit of obsession with using "Lu".
"Luheen, Luheen Sales... Bad guy, have you thought about it long ago? I didn't say anything, I've wasted so much energy. Hello, don't leave, I'm going to add interest to what you owe me to show punishment, have you heard..." Sharon shouted fiercely behind Lu Chen, and rushed up in a hurry.
"Hmm? I've thought about what I've long ago. Didn't this be called for me? I just made a homophonic sound, and added my original surname. After all, that name is not suitable for use outside. Now it's hidden. Don't you allow me to change it a little? It's too arrogant." Seeing Sharon coming up, he quickly pretended to be stupid. Anyway, there would be nothing missing, and he could make her happy.
"Is that? I got it? Ah, it was changed from 'Shaun'. Hehe, this is almost the same, it feels very good, but I still think 'Chenchen' makes a good cry. Now, I'll only use this to call you in the future, okay?" Sharon unconsciously held Lu Chen's hand and begged a little coquettishly.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes wildly, and he was already planning to bury it, but he didn't expect that this silly girl would ask again. "Forget it, just call it whatever she likes. It's a nickname anyway, and it seems more intimate." He ignored her, tightened her hand, carried the sun rising to the left and continued to walk with big strides.
Seeing his depressed expression, Sharon knew that he had agreed. He felt happy in his heart. He felt that the other party held him back and held his other hand. He grabbed Lu Chen's hand with both hands, as if he was afraid that he would run away. His face was filled with smirks of small thoughts. He didn't know that she was actually the "liar person".
Still not encountering any monsters along the way, Sharon became nervous again, thinking he was lost, and ran into the territory of some powerful monsters. Lu Chen turned around and smiled mysteriously at her, then wrapped her in his arms and hugged her, so that she could feel at ease, saying that he didn't need to worry too much, as long as he didn't get the general direction wrong.
After Lu Chen took advantage, Sharon felt much more relaxed. Although he was very dissatisfied with Lu Chen's mysterious secret, he didn't know where to start and forced him to confess, so he could only continue to follow him resentfully. Fortunately, the forest was not too dense, and it was confirmed based on the sun and time that they were still heading west without much deviation.
Lu Chen dared not tell Sharon that there would be deaths in his left eye, and even if the two of them were truly united in the future, they would not be disclosed, otherwise they would have become blind heroes in another world.
But to be honest, Lu Chen is still a little confused about the ability of his left eye. To summarize it, he can only see far points like a telescope, not blocked by surrounding light and fog. Instead, he is more useful in the illusion, and can see through and record the skills of those strong people.
