My sister never calls me brother.

“It’s done. I’m the embodiment of beauty and wisdom…” Zhou Han tossed her hair narcissistically and said, “As long as I take action, all problems will be solved naturally.”

"Great! A great start, a good omen." Song Mingyuan gave a thumbs up. "Lin Nianwei must have given us a lot of advice. It's so great to have her around."

“Well… I also put in a lot of effort, and even offered my face.” Zhou Han raised her hand to indicate.

"Bringing Lin Nianwei into the group was truly the best decision I've ever made in my life..." Song Mingyuan sighed.

"Hey hey hey, can you please pay attention to me for once..." Zhou Han was speechless.

"I didn't expect that while I was away, Lin Nianwei and Miyazaki managed to keep the club afloat, even with the help of a certain incompetent teammate. Congratulations! Congratulations!" Song Mingyuan said to himself, completely ignoring Zhou Han.

"Senior, can you please stop ignoring me?" Zhou Han said pitifully.

Airi Miyazaki sighed, not wanting to get involved at all.

"However..." Song Mingyuan changed the subject, "Why are you two wandering around the streets so late instead of going home?"

“We…” Zhou Han and Miyazaki Airi exchanged a glance.

The two suddenly realized a serious problem: they had gone home together and had been discovered by Song Mingyuan, an acquaintance!

"Is that so? I see, I understand now..." Song Mingyuan looked enlightened.

"Big brother, what do you know? Don't make wild guesses!!!" Zhou Han sensed something was wrong.

"Do I even need to guess? I saw you two acting really close in the club, and you weren't going home this late, just wandering around the streets. Isn't that a date?" Song Mingyuan said, surprising everyone.

"Pfft—!" Zhou Han was startled. "We're working on a case, that's why we're not home this late. What are you guessing?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Miyazaki Airi was also getting a little exasperated. "A date...a date...a date...I can't go on a date with this idiot!!!"

"Tch!" Song Mingyuan looked at Zhou Han angrily and said irritably, "Although her breasts are a bit small, they're not bad. It's like a foreign flower stuck in cow dung!"

"Hey! You're getting more and more outrageous. Why don't you just listen to what we have to say?" Zhou Han was exasperated.

"You shut-in, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to hit you!" Miyazaki Airi's anger level was already at the breaking point.

Song Mingyuan patted Zhou Han's shoulder earnestly and said meaningfully, "There's a hotel 300 meters to the east. That's all I can do for you. No need to thank me. My surname is Lei!"

After saying that, Song Mingyuan jogged away, waving his hand as if he had done something incredibly good.

"I really want to hit him." Miyazaki Airi frowned.

“Me too…” Zhou Han looked embarrassed.

The two were in a mess on the street—

The next day, the guitar club.

The club leader, Han Ying, was holding a guitar and playing a newly written piece.

Liu Yue walked in without warning.

Han Ying paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're here really early today..."

Liu Yue lowered her head and remained silent.

Han Ying realized something was wrong and asked cautiously, "What happened? If you don't mind, you can tell me."

“Senior Han…” Liu Yue hesitated for a moment, paused, bit her lip, and mustered her courage to say, “I have decided to quit the club.”

Han Ying suddenly remembered the request Lin Nianwei had made to her yesterday morning.

"May I ask why?" Han Ying asked calmly.

"No... there's no particular reason, probably..." Liu Yue made up a reason casually, "maybe I was just bored..."

Boring!? Han Ying didn't react for a moment.

"Then I'll be going. Thank you for taking care of me." Liu Yue bowed, turned to leave, and just as her hand touched the doorknob.

"Wait a minute!" Han Ying called out, wondering if Lin Nianwei's guess was true after all.

Liu Yue turned to look at Han Ying.

"You..." Han Ying looked directly into Liu Yue's eyes, her aura as a senior student pressing down on her, "You actually can't sing, can you?"

Liu Yue was startled. She opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to retort and continue pretending, but then she remembered her conversation with Zhou Han last night and decided not to continue pretending. Today's purpose was to say goodbye to her past self.

Liu Yue lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, I sing terribly."

"I knew it. I was wondering why you were always reluctant to sing..." Han Ying sighed, thought for a moment, and continued, "I only have one question for you now: Do you like the guitar club? Even if it's just a little bit?"

"I...I..." Liu Yue frowned. She didn't know if she should tell the truth now, but she did have a deep attachment to the guitar club.

"Don't feel pressured, just tell the truth." Han Ying smiled.

"I really enjoyed my time in the guitar club..." Liu Yue decided to tell the truth and express her truest feelings.

"Really..." Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That makes things easier."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yue asked, puzzled.

Han Ying didn't answer. Instead, she took out her phone, plugged in her earphones, and said, "Come here, I'll let you hear something."

Liu Yue walked over with a puzzled look, put on her headphones, and couldn't help but frown.

The reason for my frown was that a girl's solo performance was playing in my headphones. It was so awful that she couldn't find the right tune and kept screaming.

"How is it?" Han Ying asked.

"It sounds awful," Liu Yue said truthfully.

"Haha, I knew it." Han Ying laughed out loud. "Actually, this is a song I used to sing."

"Ah!?" Liu Yue was so surprised that she couldn't speak. "No way, Senior Han, you're not joking, are you? We've all heard you sing, and you sing really well."

"It's true," Han Ying said earnestly.

"This...is this really you singing?" Liu Yue said in disbelief.

"Yes!" Han Ying nodded. "Singing badly can be improved. As long as you practice hard, I will teach you if you need it."

Liu Yue lowered her head, unsure of what to say, and could only say, "Thank you, Senior Han."

"No need to thank me." Han Ying smiled. "Remember, if anything happens in the future, don't keep it to yourself. Speak up, because how will I know if you don't tell me?"

"Thanks……"

Qingxue Office——

"Look over here! Look over here!" Song Mingyuan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"What are you doing? What kind of trick are you up to now?" Zhou Han said irritably.

"Ahem—!" Song Mingyuan coughed lightly and said, "Our first commission has been completed perfectly! Under my brilliant leadership, our club got off to a great start. This is inseparable from my handsome appearance, intelligence, and unique foresight, so let's give me a round of applause!"

"Oh," Zhou Han and Miyazaki Airi responded coldly.

Lin Nianwei kept looking up from her book.

"Tsk!" Song Mingyuan clicked his tongue, making no mention of his absence from the commission. He said with dissatisfaction, "Just cooperate with me a little, or I'll be treated like a nobody."

"Oh," Zhou Han and Miyazaki Airi continued to respond indifferently.

Song Mingyuan sighed, clapped his hands to himself, adjusted his glasses, and said—

"Awesome! I'm so handsome! 24K super handsome! There are still two more commissions left, let's keep up the good work!"

Zhou Han and Miyazaki Airi remained expressionless.

"Oh."

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle to Protect My Sister

After a week of torment, Zhou Han finally had his weekend. Logically, he should have slept until 11 a.m., as is customary...

However, at this moment, he was wearing a gray hoodie, sunglasses and a mask, sneaking around behind Miyazaki Airi, perfectly blending into the image of a stalker, completely disregarding the surprised looks of passersby.

Why did he do that?

Let's go back to the morning and see what exactly happened—

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Han lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. It wasn't because he had something on his mind, but because he was woken up by the urge to urinate.

I was hesitating whether to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't bear to leave my warm and cozy bed.

Finally, Zhou Han gave up, opened her eyes, and muttered to herself with a worried expression, "I should have known better than to drink so much water last night..."

He sat up, scratched his disheveled hair, went to the bathroom, and just as he came out, he bumped into Miyazaki Airi coming out of her room. She looked like she had dressed up carefully.

Airi Miyazaki wore a black mini skirt and a white chiffon blouse today, and her fair legs were almost dazzling against the black mini skirt.

Zhou Han's eyes were uncontrollably fixed on Miyazaki Airi's legs, and he looked at them several times.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Miyazaki Airi frowned and shrank back. "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll poke your eyes out."

"Yo yo yo..." Zhou Han said in a strange voice, "Dressed up like a little vixen, where are you going? On a blind date?"

"Watch your mouth! What I do is none of your business!" Miyazaki Airi was exasperated.

“Why can’t I care? I’m your…” Zhou Han was about to say “I’m your brother,” but then he remembered that the girl wouldn’t acknowledge him, so he had to change his words and say, “She lives in my room and sleeps in my bed, so I have to care.”

"Why do I feel like you're taking advantage of me with that statement?" Miyazaki Airi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Zhou Han scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said again, "You're staying in my sister's room and sleeping in my sister's bed, so I have the right to know. What are you trying to do?"

Miyazaki Airi glanced at the time, not wanting to waste any more time talking to this idiot, and sighed, saying, "I'm going to the mall to buy some clothes."

"Oh, take care then." Zhou Han said and went back to her room.

Miyazaki Airi watched Zhou Han's retreating figure, feeling conflicted. She had wanted to ask Zhou Han if he wanted to come with her, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She knew he definitely wouldn't go even if she asked, which was good. It would be much quieter without that idiot around, Miyazaki Airi comforted herself.

Zhou Han returned to her room like an eel, snuggling into the blankets, ready to enjoy a comfortable nap.

The phone on the table flashed with golden light, and Elizabeth waved her golden data cicada wings, flying to Zhou Han's head and circling around.

"Is it really okay to let her go by herself?" Elizabeth said quietly.

"Go away, go away!" Zhou Han waved her hand and covered her head with the blanket. "It's just going to buy some clothes, what's there to worry about? Don't disturb my nap."

Elizabeth was annoyed by Zhou Han's persistent behavior. She hovered around Zhou Han's head twice in a huff, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and smiled mysteriously.

"Oh dear, this is really difficult..." Elizabeth sat suspended in mid-air, crossing her legs, looking troubled. "There are so many bad people in society these days: perverts stalking pretty girls, gropers on buses, tentacle monsters in fitting rooms, thugs who lust after women..."

"What a tragic fate it is for a beautiful young woman to be killed by a villain on her way to buy clothes..." Elizabeth recited the poem with deep emotion, her tone filled with heartbreaking sorrow.
