My sister never calls me brother.

"Then let's proceed according to plan!" Song Mingyuan cheered.

There were hardly any people on the way to the library, because it was after school and not many people would go to the library.

Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei walked one after the other on the way to the library.

Neither of them spoke. Lin Nianwei walked ahead, carrying her copy of "Jane Eyre," giving off an unapproachable vibe. Zhou Han, with her head in her hands, appeared quite lazy, silently following behind Lin Nianwei, looking out the window and pretending to admire the scenery around her.

The distance between the two remained the same, neither too close nor too far.

Zhou Han glanced at Lin Nianwei sideways. This was the first time in five years that he had looked at her so quietly, even though it was just her back. Normally, in this spot, she would have been surrounded by boys.

Compared to when she was a child, she's grown quite a bit taller, and her figure has become more slender. She used to be a bit chubby as a child... Zhou Han laughed out loud.

Lin Nianwei turned around and glared at him in surprise.

Zhou Han quickly looked at the dome, whistled, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Lin Nianwei glanced at Zhou Han from head to toe, said nothing, and continued walking towards the library.

Zhou Han let out a long breath, feeling for a moment that he had been seen through, which made him very uncomfortable.

Lin Nianwei lowered her head, thinking to herself, "Compared to when I was a child, I've changed a lot, but I'm still a fool."

The two of them quietly arrived at the library.

Lin Nianwei began looking for books on chocolate making, with Zhou Han following behind her and helping her look around.

After searching for a while, Lin Nianwei, being more observant, discovered a book about chocolate making on the ceiling.

However, for Lin Nianwei's height, it's a bit too tall.

Lin Nianwei looked at the book above and thought for a while. Actually, she wanted Zhou Han to help her, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.

After much hesitation, she decided to do it herself.

Lin Nianwei stood on tiptoe and reached out to grab the book on top, but she was just three centimeters short.

Zhou Han was completely bewildered. She wondered, should she help? If she did, would it seem like she was meddling? If she didn't, it would look like she was just watching a show, deliberately trying to make a fool of herself...

Even with such a trivial matter, Zhou Han was caught in an awkward internal struggle, unable to make a decision.

Lin Nianwei still refused to give up, her body taut and seemingly trying her best, but those three centimeters seemed like an insurmountable chasm, and she just couldn't reach them.

Just as Lin Nianwei was about to give up, a strong hand appeared from behind her and helped her take the book down.

Zhou Han handed the book to Lin Nianwei.

Lin Nianwei looked up at him, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back, silently took the book, and continued searching.

The two of them remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

One book isn't enough; two books would be better, so we can read them side-by-side, Lin Nianwei thought.

Before long, Lin Nianwei discovered a book about chocolate on the top shelf, with a ladder next to it. This time, she didn't need to bother Zhou Han; she could get the book herself.

Lin Nianwei walked to the bottom of the ladder and climbed up step by step to get the book.

Zhou Han watched her from behind, just in case anything happened; this time, he had no intention of helping.

However, when Lin Nianwei climbed to a certain height, Zhou Han was afraid to look.

Because Zhou Han, who was below, had a clear view of Lin Nianwei's skirt from above.

Zhou Han blushed and quickly turned his head away, because he knew better than to look at something indecent, and he didn't want to offend Lin Nianwei again.

However, it seemed as if the girl's skirt had a huge attraction. Even though Zhou Han turned her head away, her eyes couldn't help but keep looking up at Lin Nianwei's skirt.

Zhou Han sighed inwardly—

Oh my God!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Housekeeping Skills Max

Zhou Han blushed, looking embarrassed. She thought, "Oh my god! She's flashed me! Should I tell her? But if I tell her, wouldn't that mean I saw everything under her skirt? If I don't tell her, wouldn't it seem like I'm being unfair..."

This fool is once again caught in a dilemma, finding it difficult to make a choice.

The worst part is that Zhou Han can't control his eyes anymore. He can't help but keep looking up at Lin Nianwei's skirt, his eyes swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

With a "smack," Zhou Han slapped her face to clear her mind and prevent herself from losing control of her eyes.

Lin Nianwei picked up the book about chocolate making, looked at it, and then heard a strange "snap" sound.

She looked back at Zhou Han below and saw him blushing and turning his head to the side.

Seeing Zhou Han's strange expression and noticing the height difference between their positions, Lin Nianwei instantly knew what had happened.

She blushed and quickly covered her skirt, but this series of actions caused her to lose her balance on the ladder, slip, and fall down.

Zhou Han opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at the girl who had fallen from the sky. Her flying hair obscured her eyes, and the sunlight streaming in from the window shone on her, making her feel as if she were in a dream.

Lin Nianwei didn't make a sound. She knew she was falling, but she didn't know how to react. Scream? She didn't like doing things that weren't worthwhile.

"Danger—!" Zhou Han shouted and rushed forward in a flash.

He caught Lin Nianwei as she fell in a princess carry.

All of this happened silently; only that shout from just now brought the library back to deathly silence.

Lin Nianwei never imagined that such a plot, which only appears in youth dramas, would actually happen to her.

Zhou Han breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't possibly stand by and watch his childhood sweetheart die. He hadn't even thought about it before his body moved on its own. But all that was beside the point. Now he felt the atmosphere was getting a little awkward...

The two looked into each other's eyes, and their faces turned red.

Lin Nianwei lay in Zhou Han's arms, feeling incredibly awkward. She placed her hands on her chest like a startled rabbit. She wondered, why is he blushing? Is it because I'm too heavy?

Zhou Han looked embarrassed as he felt the light and warm body of Lin Nianwei in his arms. He didn't know what to say. He thought to himself, "Why is she blushing? Is she going to hit me? I guess I was just being nosy!"

The two remained silent for five or six seconds in an awkward silence until Lin Nianwei finally spoke first.

"Um..." Lin Nianwei lowered her head, paused, and said, "Could you put me down first?"

"Oh! Okay!" Zhou Han's reaction was as if she hadn't woken up yet, her mind short-circuited. Before Lin Nianwei's feet even touched the ground, she pulled her hand back in a flash.

Lin Nianwei felt empty beneath her, having lost her support.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, falling directly to the ground.

Lin Nianwei sat on the ground, her chest heaving, looking very angry. Her face was hidden by her hair, so her expression was not visible.

Zhou Han felt ashamed and realized how stupid he had been. The atmosphere was already awkward, and now it was even more awkward. He thought to himself, if I explain now that I didn't mean to drop her, will she still believe me?

Lin Nianwei raised her head, staring at Zhou Han with a dark face. She was clearly in a terrible mood, cursing Zhou Han as an idiot in her heart. This resentment was deeply ingrained in her mind.

Zhou Han broke out in a cold sweat under Lin Nianwei's gaze; he could already feel the immense resentment emanating from her.

To make amends, Zhou Han reached out to help Lin Nianwei up, but she brushed him away.

Lin Nianwei stubbornly stood up. Thinking about what had just happened still made her heart flutter. She said shyly, "You saw everything, didn't you?"

"No, no!" Zhou Han was startled and shook his head like a rattle drum. He didn't expect the interrogation to come so suddenly. Although he denied it outright, his next words inadvertently revealed his crime.

“White… no! It was all white, I couldn’t see anything clearly…” Zhou Han explained in a jumbled manner.

When Lin Nianwei heard Zhou Han mention white, her face turned even redder, and she nervously clutched the hem of her skirt.

Seeing Lin Nianwei's nervous expression, Zhou Han thought to himself, "It's over! It seems explaining is pointless now..."

Lin Nianwei lowered her head, walked up to Zhou Han, hesitated for a moment, and then extended her hand.

Zhou Han glanced at her, then closed her eyes helplessly, thinking, "It seems this slap is unavoidable. Sigh..."

Lin Nianwei did want to slap Zhou Han, but when she saw Zhou Han close his eyes and look like he was waiting to die, she hesitated.

Her heart softened, and she couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she clenched her fist and gently punched Zhou Han's chest as punishment.

Zhou Han opened her eyes and touched her chest, thinking to herself, "This is nowhere near as strong as Miyazaki Airi's..."

He glanced at Lin Nianwei, who was picking up books from the ground, and suddenly realized something important—to apologize for what he had done as a child!

Now it's just her and me here, isn't this a golden opportunity? If I apologize, maybe I can get her to forgive me, Zhou Han thought.

After picking up the book, Lin Nianwei left the art gallery without even saying goodbye.

“Um…” Zhou Han swallowed, looked at Lin Nianwei’s retreating figure, paused, and said, “I’m sorry…”

Lin Nianwei stopped in her tracks, didn't turn around, and said calmly, "No need to apologize. Let's just forget about what happened earlier..."

“That’s not what I meant…” Zhou Han quickly retorted, continuing, “I was talking about things from when I was a child…”

Before Zhou Han could finish speaking, Lin Nianwei interrupted him.

"If we don't hurry, Senior Song will start to get anxious." Lin Nianwei said this with her back to Zhou Han, so her expression was not visible.

Zhou Han opened his mouth, but couldn't utter any words of apology. He licked his lips and said, "That's true..."

Lin Nianwei left the library directly.

So she didn't want to accept his apology at all... Zhou Han laughed self-deprecatingly.

Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei arrived at the cooking classroom as planned.

As soon as I entered, I heard Song Mingyuan complaining.

"You two are so slow..."

"There are so many books in the library, but it's not easy to find one about chocolate!" Zhou Han explained helplessly.

"Thank you for your help! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!" Yao Xiaorui bowed repeatedly in apology.

Zhou Han was completely baffled, unable to understand why Yao Xiaorui had to apologize.

"Really because you have too many books?" Song Mingyuan said with a meaningful smile. "You didn't steal a moment from your busy schedule to enjoy some time alone together, did you?"

Lin Nianwei remained expressionless and offered no opinion.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Han said angrily.

"Forget it! Forget it!" Song Mingyuan waved his hand. "Let's hurry up and make the chocolate!"

After a while, Lin Nianwei closed the book about chocolate; she had finished reading it.

"How is it?" Song Mingyuan asked impatiently, "Can we start teaching now?"

“I already know how to do it, but…” Lin Nianwei paused and said, “But I want to try it once first.”

"Great! We'll be in charge of the taste test." Song Mingyuan said with a sly grin, "I never thought Lin's first time would be given to us, we've really hit the jackpot, hehehe..."
