My sister never calls me brother.

Airi Miyazaki wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, buried her head under the pillow, and shut herself off from the world.

"Grandma, I was wrong! Stop calling me that! If you keep calling me that, I'm dead..." Zhou Han quickly begged for mercy.

“Okay…” Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction.

Zhou Han wiped away her cold sweat, truly exasperated by her. Suddenly remembering Elizabeth's theft of her privacy, she became intrigued and asked...

"By the way, how did you manage to steal my privacy in that split second just now?"

"That's nothing! I'm an elf. From emails and phones to surveillance cameras and nuclear weapons control systems of various countries, there's nothing I can't interfere with if I want to. Checking what you've been up to lately is just a small test."

"Oh," Zhou Han replied indifferently, clearly not believing Elizabeth's words. Controlling the world with nuclear weapons was simply a fantasy. If she could really do it, wouldn't she have been arrested by Pentagon agents long ago?

"You wicked master, your tone is truly unpleasant. Do you not trust me?" Elizabeth said, slightly annoyed.

"You're exaggerating too much, I can't believe it. I've seen your ability to steal other people's privacy, but controlling nuclear weapons... tsk tsk tsk..." Zhou Han clicked his tongue in disdain.

“Your dismissive attitude is an insult to me. How can I prove that I wasn’t exaggerating?” Elizabeth crossed her arms, ready to accept the challenge.

"Let me think about it..." Zhou Han stroked his chin and pondered. After a while, he smiled lewdly and said, "If you can show me a video of Teacher Dong or Wang Yue emerging from the bath, I'll believe you."

"impossible."

"You rejected me without even thinking about it!" Zhou Han found it hard to accept.

“I won’t do anything shameless for you. Forget about it, you wicked master.” Elizabeth showed a look of disgust.

"See! You can't even handle such a small matter. You were just bragging!" Zhou Han insisted.

"What a despicable provocation! Fine..." A flash of golden light appeared on the phone, and Elizabeth floated in mid-air. "I'll show you my power. And let me give you a piece of advice—"

"Don't believe what you see with your eyes; the truth is often covered by a layer of falsehood."

After saying that, Elizabeth closed her eyes, and a waterfall of starlight data swept through the entire room in an instant. Strange numerical codes and bizarre, unfamiliar characters resembled the engravings of an alien civilization, both eerie and mysterious.

Elizabeth's pure white ballet dress fluttered without wind, her shiny silver hair floated, and the golden data cicada wings on her back expanded, instantly emitting an unbearable light!

"Aaaaaah—!" Zhou Han was stunned by the intense light, covering her eyes and screaming, "My 24K titanium alloy eyes!!!"

Zhou Han waited a while until the dazzling sensation subsided before secretly opening her eyes, instantly stunned by the sight before her—

Zhou Han found himself outdoors, seemingly sitting high in the sky. The city below looked somewhat familiar, but too small. The azure sky seemed within reach, and the blinding sunlight made it impossible for him to look directly at it. The massive clouds moved slowly like a raging flood, and everything seemed so real.

Just seconds ago, Zhou Han was in his own room, but now he is inexplicably sitting on a cloud!

"Waaaaah—!"

Zhou Han fell in terror, but miraculously, he didn't fall, as if there was an invisible ground supporting him.

"Calm down! You wicked master..."

"Little Fatty!?" Zhou Han was stunned for a moment. "Where are you?"

"You're the fat girl! All the women in your family are fat girls! This is a direct communication in our minds! No need to speak, just think it through!"

"Is that amazing? I'll try it..." Zhou Han said, then began to imagine—

"Trash phone pets, trash phone pets, trash phone pets."

"You're the trash, okay?"

"We can really communicate! It's amazing!" Zhou Han looked around, his head hanging high in the air, making him feel completely unsafe. "Where am I!?"

"It's 11 a.m. here, 6000 meters above Zhongqing City. But don't worry, there's no danger. This is my specialty: deceptive projection. Everything you see is an illusion created by data. In reality, you're still in your room. Remember to thank me properly. Ordinary people can't see these things because a normal person would have died from lack of oxygen at this altitude."

"You're saying what I saw was all an illusion, and that I'm actually still in the room?" Zhou Han asked tentatively.

"Of course, now you believe in my great power, don't you, you wicked master?"

Zhou Han groped around and took a few steps until she finally found her room door out of thin air. She opened it and walked out. The whole process was like performing a pantomime, as the door was not visible at all.

"Wow, that's amazing! It looks so real!" Zhou Han walked step by step, with clouds occasionally brushing past her. Looking at the tiny city, she finally understood the feelings of the tightrope walkers. It was so exciting.

"Hmph! Who do you take me for?" Elizabeth said proudly.

Zhou Han felt herself touching another doorknob, thinking it was the kitchen, and opened it without hesitation.

But as soon as he opened the door, the clear sky instantly lost its color, and everything around him turned into color data. In the blink of an eye, the data receded like a tide, and Zhou Han realized that, just as Elizabeth had said, he was still at home.

"What's wrong?!" Zhou Han asked in surprise.

"My phone's dead. Looks like I'll have to put it to sleep for the night and let it charge quietly. Goodnight, you wretched owner!"

"Huh!? I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Zhou Han scratched his head. It seemed that Elizabeth had really gone into hibernation. He looked around helplessly and was immediately filled with doubt.

This room looks so familiar... Isn't it my younger sister's room? But the decorations seem a little different...

Zhou Han inadvertently saw Miyazaki Airi sitting on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, hugging a pillow, staring at him with hostility.

Zhou Han froze instantly. Oh no! How did she end up in Miyazaki's room without even realizing it?! This deceptive projection is just too much!

"What are you trying to do, coming to my room so late at night?!" Miyazaki Airi asked warily.

Zhou Han nervously swallowed and said, "I... I said I walked in by accident, would you believe me?"

The two stared at each other in silence for three seconds—

"No way! You just finished playing adult games and then came to my room. What were you thinking? Even a fool could see it!!!" Miyazaki Airi roared in anger.

"What...what was I thinking?" Zhou Han asked awkwardly.

"You bastard, get out of here!!!"

Airi Miyazaki threw the pillow hard at Zhou Han.

"Whoa—!" Zhou Han was knocked to the ground.

After this incident, Miyazaki Airi gave Zhou Han a cold look the next day, staring at him with eyes full of hostility, vigilance, and deep wariness, as if he were a pervert.

"Your stepsister now completely sees you as a pervert."

Elizabeth's voice echoed in Zhou Han's mind.

"Shut up! It's all your fault! From now on, you're not allowed to talk to me without my permission!" Zhou Han frowned.

"Okay, but speaking of which, you're really doing terribly at school. Almost no one pays any attention to you, except for that chuunibyou guy, oh right! There's also a really handsome guy named Gu Bai. If I had to choose a master, I'd definitely choose him!"

Zhou Han raised an eyebrow. "How much do you look down on me? I have my merits too!"

"For example, which ones?"

"I'm a really good fighter!"

"Okay, one more drawback: violent girls are all annoying." Elizabeth noted it down.

"I...I'm really good at making instant noodles!"

"Okay, add two more flaws: I'm clumsy and can't do housework. Girls hate sloppiness."

"I'm... honest and kind? Now I have an advantage!" Zhou Han found a good adjective.

"Okay, three more flaws: to put it bluntly, he's stupid. Girls hate guys who don't understand romance."

"Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Zhou Han's face darkened.

"Oh, no, I'm just worried about you. You might end up alone in the future, hehehe..."

Elizabeth's laughter lingered in his mind. Zhou Han was speechless, thinking to himself, "Is this guy a little cunning?"

"Students, do some warm-up exercises! The boys will be tested on the 1000-meter run, and the girls on the 800-meter run," the PE teacher shouted.

"Aaaaaah—!"

"We finally have a PE class, let's not have a test!"

"I suddenly want to go back to the classroom to study."

As soon as the PE teacher finished speaking, a chorus of complaints erupted from the students.

This was a physical education class, and the students had all changed into their sportswear. They thought they would be dismissed for free time after running two laps, but they never expected to receive such terrible news.

"Stop complaining," Gu Bai said with a smile. "It's flu season now, so exercising is good for you. It would be troublesome if everyone got sick."

"Here it comes! Gu Bai's health mini-lecture!" Feng Jiarui interjected.

"Don't joke with me." Gu Bai chuckled and scratched his head.

The students all laughed, and their complaints about the test vanished.

Gu Bai is really amazing; he got everyone excited with just a few words… Zhou Han watched him from afar, thinking to herself—

If I were a girl, I wouldn't be able to resist giving myself to her.

(shame)

Chapter Fourteen: 10,000 Points of True Damage

The PE teacher clapped his hands.

"Students, please do some warm-up exercises in pairs. The test will be held soon!"

In the blink of an eye, a group of people surrounded Gu Bai, all volunteering to be in his group.

Gu Bai chuckled awkwardly, pulled Feng Jiarui to his side, and said, "I've already decided to team up with this guy!"

Upon hearing this reply, those around couldn't help but complain.

"I've hit the jackpot today! I hope no one gets angry and beats me up." Feng Jiarui chuckled dryly.

"No, it won't happen." Gu Bai waved his hand.

"Does Miyazaki-san have a partner?"

"Miyazaki-san, let's be in the same group!"

"Miyazaki-san..."

Faced with numerous invitations, Miyazaki Airi felt a little embarrassed, finding it difficult to refuse their kind invitations.

What should I do...? I want to be in a group with girls, but what's with all these boys? Just as Miyazaki Airi was worrying, she saw Lin Nianwei in the distance, also looking at her book with a cold expression, ignoring the boys' invitations.

"I have a partner, sorry!" Miyazaki Airi apologized and ran to Lin Nianwei, extending her hand.

"Lin Nianwei, would you like to be in my group?"

Lin Nianwei looked up at Miyazaki Airi without saying a word.
