My sister never calls me brother.

Then many people stood up and berated Zhou Han; both men and women were present.

　 This is a great opportunity for them to show off, so why would they let it pass?

Zhou Han was being condemned by everyone, her chest heaving with anger. Ignoring the crowd, she stared into Gu Bai's eyes, trying to see something in his gaze.

Unfortunately, Gu Bai's eyes were like the unfathomable depths of the sea, revealing nothing.

Now, Gu Bai's image has been completely overturned in Zhou Han's eyes.

"What are you doing?!"

A girl burst into Class 3 of Grade 2, with her long, pear-blossom-shaped hair dyed a captivating wine red.

“She is…” Miyazaki Airi was stunned, thinking, wasn’t this the girl I saw at the entrance of the teaching building yesterday?

"You two! Stop it right now!" the girl said arrogantly.

"Huh!?" Zhou Han was in a terrible mood and her tone was very unpleasant. "Who are you!? Mind your own business!"

"Heh..." The girl sneered, flicking her red hair, and said arrogantly, "You haven't even heard of An Lan, the student council vice president? You really are ignorant..."

"Is the student council that powerful?" Zhou Han released Gu Bai, her tone unfriendly.

"Oh?" An Lan looked at Zhou Han with disdain, pointed at him and said, "You have a very aggressive tone. I don't know if you're good or not, but it's more than enough to punish a troublemaker like you."

"What did you say?!" Zhou Han was getting increasingly annoyed.

“I’m going to carry out the student council’s full authority right now.” An Lan looked at Zhou Han, tilted her head slightly, and said seriously, “Because you fought in class and violated school rules and regulations, I’m going to suspend you from school for three days now.”

"You!" Zhou Han was so shocked that she couldn't speak, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.

It's important to understand that Zhou Han is currently in the period of the bet to leave the group. Being suspended from school now is practically a declaration that he has already lost and can't afford to play this game.

"Hmph! I'll send the incident report to the Political Education Department soon." An Lan sneered, her tone condescending. "Did you understand what I said? If so, you can go home now..."

Zhou Han's face was pale. It seemed that she had already lost. This suspension punishment was too sudden and no one had expected it.

Lin Nianwei frowned as she looked at the book. It seemed that things were slipping out of her control, and she hadn't expected the student council to suddenly intervene.

With the student council's sudden intervention, the course of the incident became uncertain.

Zhou Han looked blankly at Lin Nianwei and Miyazaki Airi in their seats.

He turned and glared at An Lan, then shouted coldly, "Get out of my way!"

"Ah! You dare to talk to me like that..." An Lan was about to continue to suppress Zhou Han's arrogance, but she was frightened by his fierce eyes and swallowed the rest of her words, stiffly making way for him.

Zhou Han lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and stopped talking.

He stormed out of the classroom, defiant and resentful.

Gu Bai smiled as he watched Zhou Han's departing figure.

Airi Miyazaki looked worried.

After school—

Qingxue Office.

Song Mingyuan, Lin Nianwei, Lilith, and Miyazaki Airi all arrived on time and learned that the student council had suddenly intervened.

"What do we do now?" Miyazaki Airi asked Lin Nianwei.

Lin Nianwei's eyes flickered as she began to think.

Lilith shook the ahoge (cowlick) on her head, looking carefree.

Song Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, wondering if he should go to the student council to have a word with them.

After a while, Lin Nianwei spoke.

“Let’s proceed as planned, but…” Lin Nianwei paused, then added, “We need to deepen the second and third steps.”

"What do you mean?" Miyazaki Airi pressed.

"This..." Lin Nianwei whispered her meaning...

Jinteng Academy, Indoor Basketball Court.

This is a dedicated court allocated by the school to the basketball club.

As a prestigious club with numerous honors at the school, it always receives excellent treatment.

Fang Yong stood at the free-throw line and, in front of all the members, made his 100th free throw.

"All 100 will go in; it seems there's really no problem."

"I'm getting more and more excited for the official competition."

"The championship is just around the corner."

　 The members were overjoyed to see their leader back to normal; nothing could be more encouraging.

Fang Yong grinned, showing his teeth, and said nothing more than calmly, "Alright! Stop flattering me, the competition is about to start, everyone hurry up and practice!"

The clubs responded and began practicing.

Fang Yong wiped his sweat with a towel, intending to take a rest.

Just then, the tall Tao Yuanwu walked over and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yong, there are two girls outside looking for you."

Tao Yuanwu spoke without any pretense, and everyone could hear him.

The members pricked up their ears and started jeering at the same time—

“yooooooooooooooooo~”

Chapter 116 Giving a Reprimand

Fang Yong was a little embarrassed and said irritably, "Stop making a fuss! Stop messing with yourselves."

The club members smiled but didn't say anything, because quite a few girls usually came to see Fang Yong because of his reputation, and they always liked to tease him.

Fang Yong turned to Tao Yuanwu and asked, "Is something wrong with them?"

"I don't know, but they said they were from the Seigaku Office," Tao Yuanwu answered honestly.

“Seigaku Office…” Fang Yong stared blankly into space, threw down the towel, and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

"Is it okay to skip this little-known club? It sounds like a hobby group, a waste of time," Tao Yuanwu said seriously. With the competition approaching, he didn't want Fang Yong to waste time on other things; he should focus on practicing.

“They definitely need to be seen, and also…” Fang Yong stood up, saying with a half-smile—

"Don't underestimate this little-known club; there are many talented people in it."

The basketball club's reception room.

Airi Miyazaki sat quietly in the chair, thinking of what to say.

Lilith, on the other hand, was quite restless, looking around and poking at things. It was her first time here, and she was full of curiosity about the basketball club.

She felt that the environment here was much better than her own club environment.

Basketball club: massage chairs, large-screen TVs, ultra-soft genuine leather sofas...

Seigaku Office: Hard benches, drafty windows, not even a water dispenser...

The difference in treatment... is like heaven and earth, no! It's like the bottom of the earth.

Lilith felt a pang of regret, wondering if it was too late to betray the revolution.

She wasn't assigned any tasks and didn't have to do any work, but when she heard that Miyazaki-senpai was coming to the school's famous basketball club, she stubbornly followed along, claiming that—

See the world!

Airi Miyazaki ignored Lilith, who was acting out.

The second step that Lin Nianwei had explained to me yesterday flashed through my mind—

Lin Nianwei wrote the second step on the paper, then held up the white paper, on which was written...

"The second step is to create an external crisis."

Lin Nianwei looked up and explained briefly, "The second step, simply put, is to use the crisis to attract everyone's attention in the class, divert the hatred from Zhou Han, and use a more powerful external problem to cover up Zhou Han's own problems."

Miyazaki Airi understood Lin Nianwei's meaning and pressed for details, "How exactly will this be implemented?"

"We need to use Tao Yuanwu, the head of the basketball club, to have him use his reputation to incite his classmates to provoke our classmates on the basketball court and create conflict," Lin Nianwei explained the specific plan.

“Um…” Miyazaki Airi hesitated, then said, “Could this really create a crisis?”

“I’ve noticed that at lunchtime, the boys in our class like to go to the basketball court. They make up about two-thirds of the total number of boys. That’s enough to create a crisis, and…” Lin Nianwei tilted her head, thought for a moment, “Most of the boys in our class are… terrible at sports, aren’t they?”

------

Miyazaki Airi recalled Lin Nianwei's words and was determined to get Fang Yong to take action.

Furthermore, we must exacerbate the conflict and amplify the impact of this matter.

Lilith jumped onto the super soft sofa, lay on her back and rolled around, looking very happy.

"Wow~" Lilith squinted, shaking her ahoge (cowlick) on her head, feeling extremely happy, "I really want to betray them~"

She glanced at the display window next to her, filled with honors, certificates, and trophies, and seemed to have an irresistible urge to put them down.

"Miyazaki-senpai, come look!" Lilith sat up abruptly, exclaiming in amazement, "So many honors!"

“Yes, that’s right,” Miyazaki Airi replied indifferently.

"Tch~" Lilith pouted in dissatisfaction, very unhappy that Miyazaki Airi ignored her.

Airi Miyazaki is thinking about important matters and really doesn't have time right now.

Lilith secretly reached out and took a trophy, then ran to the water dispenser to get some water.

Then she returned to the sofa, crossed her legs, tugged at her knee-length white stockings, shook the trophy, and, feigning the posture of a medieval European nobleman, murmured, "Hehe~ Be elegant~ Don't be vulgar~ Pfft pfft pfft~"

Miyazaki Airi glanced sideways at Lilith and saw her playing with someone else's club's trophy. She couldn't sit still any longer.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Miyazaki Airi stood up, grabbed the trophy from Lilith's hand, and said irritably, "Don't play around with other people's honors, it's so rude! Can't you just behave for a moment? Put it back!"

"No~ I haven't had enough fun yet!" Lilith showed her little tiger teeth and refused to let go.

"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me now, or I'll... I'll grab your ahoge!" Miyazaki Airi said with a hint of annoyance.

"No!" Lilith said unhappily.

Both were exerting force, locked in a stalemate, when suddenly a beep sounded—
