My sister never calls me brother.

"I'm such an idiot for asking you that question," Miyazaki Airi said, rubbing her forehead. "How could someone like you possibly have a girlfriend...?"

Airi Miyazaki shook her head, went back to her room, and closed the door.

What's with that condescending attitude?! So what if I'm single? Zhou Han could only curse Miyazaki Airi in his heart.

After cursing in her heart, Zhou Han's anger subsided considerably. She glanced at the curry that Miyazaki Airi had left uneaten...

As the saying goes, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated." Just think about Miyazaki Airi's arrogant attitude just now. She actually thought I would bow down for a pittance. She really underestimated me! Zhou Han thought to himself.

I stared at the curry for a while longer...

However, wasting food is not a good thing. I'm not just envious and will only take one bite. I'm going to use a gourmet's eye to criticize her cooking and belittle it to the point of being worthless!

Having finally found a reason for himself, Zhou Han pulled the curry that Miyazaki Airi had left over in front of him and took a bite...

"Delicious!" Zhou Han covered his mouth, not expecting to blurt it out unconsciously. He looked back at Miyazaki Airi's room, and only when there was no movement did he feel relieved. If she knew that he had succumbed to her cooking, he would lose face! He had to protect his last remaining dignity.

Zhou Han began to wolf down her food quietly, completely forgetting the table manners expected of a gourmet. Judging by her eating habits, she might even lick the plate clean...

Airi Miyazaki was tidying up her things in the room when she heard Shiri snoring and someone eating outside, which made her feel a little helpless.

She smiled gently, shook her head, put on her headphones, and started listening to music.

Late at night, Zhou Han was hiding under the covers in her room, secretly doing something...

"Ahhh... Not bad, wow! It's so big! Looks like I'll have to speed things up and shoot more seriously..."

Zhou Han's blankets began to shake violently, and after a while, a comfortable groan was heard.

After pulling back the covers, Zhou Han, covered in sweat, glanced at his phone and muttered to himself—

"What?! A grand prize of 10,000 yuan?! They made me complete a game of airplane battle before I could claim it. The internet company is really twisted..."

Zhou Han continued to look at her phone, wondering if there were any other unreasonable requests.

The image suddenly shattered, and several beams of white light formed a white egg in the center of the screen.

What kind of game is this? Is it a simulation game next? Zhou Han scratched his head.

"Congratulations on receiving a gift from the Creator, Elizabeth, the spirit who governs the network. Please take good care of her for three days and let her hatch."

Zhou Han remained expressionless for three seconds before frantically uninstalling the program.

"Protect my sister! I only care about the ten thousand yuan prize!" Zhou Han said angrily.

The chat box reappeared halfway through the uninstallation process.

"Can you really bear to uninstall it?"

Zhou Han clicked "OK" without hesitation.

"Can't you have a little patience? Are you sure you want to give up?"

Zhou Han's face darkened; he found the software's uninstallation process incredibly annoying! He clicked "OK" again.

"It can hatch into a beautiful girl, are you sure you want to uninstall it?!?"

Zhou Han was struck dumb and immediately clicked cancel, fearing that she might accidentally uninstall it.

Then I quietly took care of the egg, using the tools under the screen to patiently protect it, keeping it warm and playing music for it.

"Sigh..." Zhou Han sighed, and said shamelessly, "I am truly a kind-hearted and extraordinary man."

Unbeknownst to Zhou Han, the mysterious egg actually looked embarrassed...

The next morning, students gathered from all directions in front of Jinteng Academy.

This academy is one of the key high schools in Zhongqing City. It uses wisteria as its school flower, and every year on May 28th, it celebrates the academy's anniversary, which is also the time when the wisteria flowers are in full bloom.

The 500-meter-long wisteria grove in front of the school gate attracts a large number of tourists when it is in full bloom, and is one of the most beautiful attractions in Zhongqing City.

However, it was July, just after the summer vacation. Although the wisteria flowers were still blooming, they were showing signs of withering. The new second-year students of Jinteng Academy were also facing the life choice of choosing between arts and sciences and being reassigned to different classes.

As for Zhou Han, he had neither the talent of a liberal arts student nor the mind of a science student, but he still chose to study science because he was afraid that if he studied liberal arts, his father would make him follow in his footsteps and go down the path of archaeology.

The information about the reassignment of classes was posted on the bulletin board on campus, where the results of each school-wide exam were also published.

At this moment, students dressed in black British school uniforms crowded around the information board, chattering incessantly as they looked at where they had been assigned. There were always some happy and some sad about the results.

The crowd seemed to have parted at some point, automatically making way for each other. The girls were somewhat dissatisfied, while the boys acted quickly, as if trying to show off.

A long-haired girl, wearing brown leather shoes and black over-the-knee socks, slowly walked towards the information board.

The girl looked down at the book "Jane Eyre" in her hands, seemingly used to reading while walking, neither looking up at the road nor being disturbed by the people around her.

The pristine white expanse between the knee-high socks and the plaid skirt has undoubtedly attracted the attention of countless boys.

She stopped in front of the information board, looked up at her own name, her eyes flickered, and then seemed to look at someone else's name before turning back to look at her book and leaving.

The open passageway remained open for a long time because many boys' eyes were still fixed on the girl.

Zhou Han picked his nose and walked towards the information board, where he ran into the girl face to face.

Upon seeing her, Zhou Han's expression stiffened for a moment. She hesitantly extended her hand, as if remembering to say hello, "Ah..."

To everyone's surprise, the girl completely ignored Zhou Han, and the two passed each other by.

"The weather is so nice today! Haha..." Zhou Han scratched his head with his outstretched hand, instantly defusing his embarrassment.

Several boys in the distance began to mock them.

Zhou Han's face contorted with rage, and she glared at him with sharp eyes.

The mocking boys all looked at the distant scenery, pretending nothing had happened.

It seems that Zhou Han's bad reputation is still deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Zhou Han glanced back at the girl, who seemed lost in thought, then lowered her head to check where she had been assigned.

This mysterious girl is named Lin Nianwei, and she and Zhou Han have a little-known relationship—

Chapter Four, Class 2-3

Lin Nianwei comes from a very well-off family; both her parents work for the government, and it is little known that she is the daughter of an official.

However, in the eyes of the male students, Lin Nianwei was unusually popular, while in the eyes of the female students, she was a thorn in their side.

Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei are very similar, but they are at opposite ends of the spectrum: one is so clumsy that she has no friends, while the other is so outstanding that she has no friends.

The two seem to live in different worlds and should never have anything to do with each other.

But the truth is that the two were childhood friends. Due to some events, Lin Nianwei transferred schools, and the two said some very hurtful things when they parted.

Zhou Han had always wanted to apologize to Lin Nianwei, but when the two met again five years later, they acted like strangers. Despite being in the same school, they had never spoken to each other in a year, and this was not the first time they had brushed past each other like this.

Lin Nianwei has become somewhat unfamiliar to Zhou Han now, even though she was much more cheerful when she was younger.

After seeing where she was assigned, Zhou Han went to the door of Class 3, Grade 2.

"Is this my new class? I hope I don't run into anyone from my old class."

Zhou Han prayed silently, but things didn't go as planned. As soon as he opened the classroom door, a golden light blinded him.

A handsome young man was surrounded by a crowd, exuding an aura of sainthood, perhaps even surpassing that of missionaries from the West.

Why is he in this class too?! Zhou Han wondered, feeling frustrated.

This boy, who is popular with both men and women, is named Gu Bai. He is not only an all-rounder in both academics and sports, but also a very handsome guy. He is the kind of person who makes girls turn their heads to look when he walks down the street.

As for why Zhou Han was so averse to Gu Bai, it's because they were classmates before, and their former homeroom teacher always talked about them—

"Look at Gu Bai, Zhou Han, and look at yourselves! What have your parents paid you to do? You're good-for-nothing! You're just loafing around!"

Every time Gu Bai finished speaking, Zhou Han disliked him even more. Despite her dislike, Zhou Han still thought Gu Bai was a good person because Gu Bai would wake her up with a smile every time she overslept after school.

This surprised Zhou Han. She was clearly the most disliked person in the class. Someone as popular as him should avoid dealing with her. At first, Zhou Han thought that Gu Bai was putting on a show for others, because pitying her would make his own brilliance shine even brighter.

But Zhou Han was just overthinking it. When no one was around, Gu Bai would still wake her up when she overslept and chat with her happily. This made Gu Bai the person she interacted with the most during her year of high school, but even though it was the most, they only exchanged a dozen or so words.

Zhou Han couldn't understand why someone like Gu Bai, a god-like figure, shouldn't be portrayed as wicked and petty in novels? Instead, he was perfect inside and out.

Therefore, Zhou Han could only dislike Gu Bai, but it didn't escalate to the point of hatred.

It seemed Gu Bai was the only person Zhou Han recognized. She scanned the classroom... wait a minute! That was...

Out of the corner of Zhou Han's eye, she saw Lin Nianwei sitting by the window, still quietly reading her book. A group of boys surrounded her, but no one bothered her. Because so many boys had been turned away, they had learned to behave themselves and just watched from a distance.

She's in this class too... Zhou Han felt embarrassed. No wonder Gu Bai's brilliance had dimmed considerably; it turned out that Lin Nianwei had stolen a lot of his limelight.

Zhou Han lowered her head and quietly walked into the classroom. She randomly found a place to sit, since it was fine to sit anywhere before the seats were assigned.

"Good morning, Zhou Han!" Gu Bai greeted Zhou Han with a smile, radiating his charming aura. "You're really late."

"Ah...oh..." Zhou Han didn't even turn her head, thinking, "Don't talk to me! You're drawing everyone's attention."

"Gu Bai, do you know this person?" a girl with dyed red hair and wearing earrings asked curiously, looking quite stylish.

“We know each other; we were in the same class before,” Gu Bai said with a smile.

"Really? Someone so lame is in the same class as you? You should have met me sooner..." The girl teased Zhou Han while simultaneously elevating herself.

"That's right, that guy looks like a loser, haha!" The boy with dyed yellow hair also chimed in, taking a jab at Zhou Han.

"Those two bastards!" Zhou Han gritted her teeth. If she weren't in a new class and didn't want to reveal her true nature so early, she would have already started a fight.

"Don't say that, Zhou Han is a very outstanding person." Gu Bai quickly told them to stop talking.

This is why I don't want to talk to Gu Bai. Every time I finish talking to him, I get inexplicably attacked online. Zhou Han sighed.

"Hmph, only the weak seek comfort in huddling together. A strong person like me has long since learned to enjoy solitude."

Zhou Han frowned upon hearing the strange lines and saw a boy on her right with bandages wrapped around his hand, an eye patch on his face, and a school uniform draped over his shoulders, looking at Gu Bai with disdain.

What the heck? Chuunibyou?! Zhou Han was completely confused.

"Tch! Why isn't the teacher here yet! This nagging is so annoying!" A girl with a fiery temper slammed her foot on the table.

Zhou Han was startled and turned her head to look. She saw that the girl had a high ponytail, colorful wristbands on her wrists, and was hugging her arms. She looked like she was in a very bad mood.

What caught Zhou Han's attention was her ample breasts... oh wait! It was the backpack containing her guitar next to her.

Are all musicians this hot-tempered these days?! Even more so than me... Zhou Han thought to himself, "Looks like there are quite a few weirdos in the new class..."

The classroom door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses hurriedly walked in.

"Sorry! I was delayed a bit on the way." The middle-aged man paused. "I'm your homeroom teacher, my name is Zhang Qiang. First of all, welcome everyone to Class 2-3..."

The homeroom teacher, Zhang Qiang, began a ten-minute welcome speech, painting a rosy picture of the future and ending with some inspirational words.
