My sister never calls me brother.

The finish line is in sight.

No! We're going to lose if this continues. We need to use a surprise attack! Zhou Han made up her mind.

He jumped three meters from the finish line, stuck out his tongue, and charged toward the finish line.

"No!!!" The girls screamed in despair, never expecting Zhou Han to be so tenacious.

"What?!" Feng Jiarui had never expected Zhou Han to have this trick up his sleeve. The last-ditch counterattack left him with a deep sense of defeat.

Serves you right! Even a salted fish has dignity; even if it dies from sunburn on the beach, it can still struggle a few more times! Remember that! Zhou Han smiled proudly.

"Ouch—!" Zhou Han fell to the ground and screamed.

The PE teacher paused for a few seconds, then announced, "Zhou Han is one tongue ahead, making him first, and Feng Jiarui is second."

"Hahaha!" Zhou Han jumped up from the ground. "We won!"

The girls' faces darkened, and a powerful resentment erupted within them—Die! Die! Die! Die…

Zhou Han, seeing the girls' gazes, wasn't scared at all; instead, she felt a little smug...

"I just can't do anything with girls..." Zhou Han casually tossed his hair, looking incredibly dashing. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, they saw my handsome and dashing appearance during the competition and started giving me flirty looks. Those eyes are so piercing!" He felt their affection deeply, but alas, he was a lone wolf in the desert, how could he be tempted by them? Hehehehe...

Miyazaki Airi watched Zhou Han, who was smugly pleased with himself, from afar, feeling utterly exasperated. She thought to herself, "What's that idiot so happy about? Doesn't he know he's already on the girls' blacklist?"

"Ah!" a girl exclaimed, "Look what the class monitor is doing!!"

Chapter Sixteen: Lilies Are Infinitely Good

The mirage-like projection in front of Gu Bai's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye. He patted his head, feeling puzzled, wondering if he had been working too hard lately.

When he looked back, he saw that Zhou Han and Feng Jiarui had already crossed the finish line. He sighed helplessly, realizing that he had lost to Zhou Han again.

Gu Bai prepared to return to the finish line. No matter what the result was, he had to go back to get a result.

"Whew... I'm exhausted..."

Gu Bai heard someone breathing heavily and complaining. He turned his head and saw Li Yang kneeling on the ground not far away, sweating profusely.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't run anymore. PE class is my biggest nemesis, ugh—" Li Yang's face turned pale, and he covered his mouth, "Phew, I almost threw up my lunch..."

Li Yang was pondering what excuse to use to give up this physical test when a slender hand appeared in front of him.

"Huh?" Li Yang looked up in surprise, only to see Gu Bai's sunny smile, and a warm and happy feeling washed over him.

"Do you need any help?" Gu Bai asked.

"I...I..." Li Yang stammered, still somewhat afraid to speak to someone as dazzling as Gu Bai.

He was the most popular person in the class, surrounded by many people, while he was just a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patient who was ridiculed. Li Yang felt somewhat inferior.

“If you can’t run anymore, I’ll carry you.” Gu Bai smiled. “We’ve come this far, it would be a bit of a shame to give up now.”

This is... such a dazzling person... Li Yang was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Gu Bai radiated a saintly aura, instantly annihilating Li Yang's childish pretense without leaving a trace.

“Gu Bai, classmate…” Li Yang blushed inexplicably and took Gu Bai’s hand.

"Let's go!" Gu Bai pulled Li Yang up, and the two ran towards the finish line together.

The students spontaneously burst into enthusiastic applause.

"I never expected Gu Bai to have such a gentle side..." Wang Qianqian said, blushing.

"Although it's a bit fussy, it's actually done quite well," Liu Yue said, arms crossed.

"As expected of Gu Bai! He's so kind and touching today!" Feng Jiarui said in an exaggerated tone.

Wow, that's amazing! No wonder everyone adores him. Miyazaki Airi clapped along with everyone else. She glanced at Zhou Han, thinking, "Compared to Gu Bai, this idiot is really...tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhou Han thought to herself with a dark expression, "Hey!!! If I remember correctly, I should be in first place! Why isn't anyone cheering for me? Isn't that weird!"

"You idiot master, you won the competition but lost the hearts of the people!" Elizabeth complained in Zhou Han's mind.

"how so!?"

"Your emotional intelligence is far inferior to that handsome young man's. His emotional intelligence is as high as outer space, while yours is almost as low as the Earth's core," Elizabeth said helplessly.

Zhou Han's face turned pale. She felt completely drained and her heart was heavy with pain!

The competition among the boys came to an end, and it was no surprise that the biggest winner was Gu Bai, who gained both fame and fortune. The least popular one was Zhou Han, who, despite winning first place, received no respect and was even disliked by the girls.

The subsequent 800-meter test for girls was not as competitive as the boys' and ended quickly.

Surprisingly, Miyazaki Airi won by a landslide, taking first place. The hot-tempered Liu Yue came in second, and Wang Qianqian, who seemed to work harder than anyone else, only managed to get third place. Our literary beauty, Lin Nianwei, also came in first place, but she was last.

Zhou Han wasn't surprised at all that Lin Nianwei came in last place, because he knew that Lin Nianwei had been extremely athletically challenged since childhood.

"Is that all? I haven't even warmed up yet..." Miyazaki Airi was a little annoyed, not even having broken a sweat.

"That's too arrogant! How good are your athletic abilities?!" Zhou Han looked at Miyazaki Airi in shock.

"Really?! This is the first time I've ever lost to someone..." Liu Yue gasped, looking at Miyazaki Airi, who looked like a monster.

After finishing her run, Wang Qianqian squatted on the ground, sullen and silent. Zhou Han thought she was just exhausted, but what she was thinking was—

Ah... they tried so hard, but they still couldn't beat those two monsters. They could have bragged to Gu Bai if they'd won first place, maybe even gotten some praise. Now it's all gone. Liu Yue, that cow, carrying such a heavy load on her chest, how could she run so fast?! I'm so unwilling to accept this...

Lin Nianwei looked like she had really used all her strength to finish the run. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. She was holding her chest and panting heavily. She looked at Miyazaki Airi next to her, who looked relaxed. She didn't say anything, but she was secretly admiring her. She looked like a weak little girl. Although she seemed to have a very energetic personality, she didn't expect her to be so strong in sports!

Lin Nianwei felt weak all over and wanted to lean on something for a while, but she couldn't lean on a boy. She looked at Miyazaki Airi and leaned on her as if possessed.

Because in Lin Nianwei's eyes, someone like Miyazaki Airi, whose athletic ability is comparable to a monster, gives her a sense of reliability and seems easy to talk to. When people feel helpless, they will subconsciously seek protection, which is perfectly normal.

"What...what are you doing!?" Miyazaki Airi was startled. Why was Lin Nianwei, who was usually so aloof, suddenly leaning against her so warmly? Could it be a trap?

"So tired..." Lin Nianwei said breathlessly, her face flushed. "Please let me lean on you for a while."

"I...I really can't do anything with you! I'll...reluctantly let you lean on me for a while!" Miyazaki Airi said, blushing and full of arrogance.

Miyazaki Airi looked down at Lin Nianwei in her arms, a look of enjoyment on her face. She thought to herself, "This girl looks quite cute right now. It would be better if she wasn't so cold usually. She looks just like my old cat. When she gets bullied outside, she runs back to me and tries to act cute like this. Hehehe..."

"Is it...comfortable?" Miyazaki Airi asked tentatively.

"Um, thank you, but..." Lin Nianwei hesitated, noticing Miyazaki Airi's flat chest.

"But what?" Miyazaki Airi asked in surprise.

"So hard..."

"Uh..." Miyazaki Airi froze instantly, feeling as if her heart had been shattered into pieces by Lin Nianwei's words, bleeding profusely.

Is this guy doing it on purpose, or is he just naturally like this? He keeps stabbing me in the heart, making me feel really conflicted! Miyazaki Airi thought to herself, feeling a bit stifled.

After school, Zhou Han and Miyazaki Airi, keeping their promise to senior Song Mingyuan, began participating in club activities, preparing to contribute to the establishment of the Seigaku Office.

Of course, Zhou Han's motives were impure; he just wanted to use the club as an excuse to occasionally visit the beautiful teacher, Dong Yingxue, in her office.

"Excuse me!" Miyazaki Airi greeted them, pushed open the door and went inside, with Zhou Han following closely behind.

As soon as the two entered the club activity room, they saw Song Mingyuan sitting in a chair, and Lin Nianwei sitting opposite him was reading a book!

"Wei-chan~" Miyazaki Airi was overjoyed and pounced on Lin Nianwei, hugging her tightly.

"Don't call me by that ambiguous name." Lin Nianwei blushed.

"I'm so happy to have you here~" Miyazaki Airi chuckled.

"Let go, it's hot." Lin Nianwei frowned, whether from genuine discomfort or shyness, it was hard to tell.

Zhou Han was also quite surprised. Lin Nianwei's presence here today meant... she had agreed to join the Seigaku Club?

"You agree to join this club?" Miyazaki Airi released Lin Nianwei.

"Yes." Lin Nianwei nodded. "I simply accepted Senior Song's request to help revive the Seigaku Club because..."

Lin Nianwei looked up at Zhou Han and said calmly, "It's inevitable to worry if we hand it over to certain people."

Song Mingyuan adjusted his glasses, smiled without saying a word, and looked very profound.

Huh? Zhou Han was stunned. Was the "someone" they were talking about referring to me?!

“That’s true! Some people are stupid, oblivious, and can’t read the room.” Miyazaki Airi immediately recognized that Lin Nianwei was talking about Zhou Han.

"Oh dear..." Zhou Han breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought someone was me just now! But now that I hear that, they're so stupid and oblivious, it definitely wasn't me! Hahaha!"

Zhou Han immediately excluded himself from the discussion, proceeding smoothly and without hesitation.

Lin Nianwei held her forehead, lost in thought.

Miyazaki Airi looked at Zhou Han with a disgusted expression.

"Uh, you guys were just... talking about me!?" Zhou Han pointed at herself in surprise and said with dissatisfaction, "Who's stupid! Who's oblivious?"

"Heh," Miyazaki Airi sneered. "What do you think?"

Zhou Han's face darkened, as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Alright! Alright! Stop arguing." Song Mingyuan stepped in to smooth things over. "Let's get ready for club activities!"

Zhou Han, feeling sullen, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Miyazaki Airi.

"Tch! Stay away from me! Don't sit within a meter of us! Idiots are contagious..." Miyazaki Airi made a disgusted expression, which was quite vivid.

"You..." Zhou Han was about to argue with Miyazaki Airi, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't act like he was very familiar with her, so he had to hold back.

"You're making it seem like I'm the one who wants to come closer." Zhou Han pulled up a chair and sat about two meters away from the two of them. "Don't come within a meter of me! I find you annoying!"

“Oh, I couldn’t be happier!” Miyazaki Airi said with a cold laugh.

Zhou Han felt heartbroken...

"Senior Song, let me ask you this: have you promoted the newly established Seigaku Agency?" Lin Nianwei asked.

"Of course we'll advertise!" Song Mingyuan gave a thumbs up, saying confidently, "Trust me! We just need to sit back and wait for our clients to come to us!"

Lin Nianwei looked unconvinced.

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Miyazaki Airi was also a little skeptical. Song Mingyuan didn't seem like a very reliable person at all!

"I don't believe it either..." Zhou Han said, picking his nose.

"Shut up! It's not my place to talk to you!" Song Mingyuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Han and continued, "Don't worry! The people are extremely satisfied with my work!"

"Okay." Lin Nianwei opened the book and started reading.

However, an hour passed—
