My sister never calls me brother.

Someone tapped Zhou Han on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Gu Bai smiling at him.

"Good...good morning..." Zhou Han stammered in response.

"You look very tired, but you're surprisingly early today." Gu Bai said with some emotion. It was quite rare to see Zhou Han walking ahead of him so early in the morning.

"Really..." Zhou Han replied with a blank expression. He didn't want to mention that Miyazaki Airi had thrown a large ladle at his face this morning.

Blame Zhou Han's alarm clock for waking up Miyazaki Airi at 5 a.m.

It wasn't that Zhou Han set the alarm by accident; rather, she deliberately set it very early, and this had been going on for a week.

Actually, Zhou Han was a bit cunning. The alarm clock was no longer able to wake him up, so he used a roundabout way to get himself out of bed.

The alarm clock won't wake you up? No problem! Just wake up Miyazaki Airi. She'll definitely be unable to stand it, kick open Zhou Han's door, turn off the alarm clock, and give Zhou Han a good scolding. Then Zhou Han will be woken up and successfully get out of bed.

Zhou Han thought his method was particularly clever. To amplify the volume, he placed a megaphone next to the alarm clock, but of course, he wouldn't point it at himself; instead, he pointed it towards Miyazaki Airi's room.

Every time the alarm rings, Miyazaki Airi can't even get her ears to work by wrapping herself in the blanket. She can only open her bloodshot eyes, grumpy from waking up, and confront Zhou Han.

Zhou Han, thinking she had saved money on a new alarm clock, was quite happy about it.

But who knew that today, Miyazaki Airi had finally lost her temper. She pushed open the door, and without saying a word, threw a large ladle at me. The feeling was absolutely exhilarating.

Just now, Zhou Han threw the broken alarm clock into the trash can. He dared not play with it anymore; if he continued, his life might be in danger.

"I heard you recently joined a club?" Gu Bai asked.

"Huh!?" Zhou Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I've joined..."

"How does it feel?" Gu Bai asked with a smile. "Isn't it interesting?"

"It's just so-so..." Zhou Han said vaguely.

"I was quite surprised when I heard you joined the club, but I quickly came to terms with it..." Gu Bai said in a kind tone.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Han asked, puzzled.

"You've changed a lot since you were in your first year of high school. You've started trying to join groups, which is a good sign," Gu Bai said with a smile.

"I didn't do anything so pointless, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Han's eyes darted away.

“I know, I know…” Gu Bai patted Zhou Han on the shoulder.

Zhou Han looked at Gu Bai and sighed, thinking to herself, "Only when those people aren't around Gu Bai can we have a proper chat like this, right?"

Suddenly, a beautiful girl walked past them. Her gentle and elegant demeanor, as well as her graceful figure, instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Who is that pretty girl?

"Transfer student?"

"It looks somewhat familiar."

People around started talking about it.

Zhou Han also felt that the face looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

The girl saw Gu Bai and Zhou Han by chance, was surprised for a moment, and waved in their direction.

Zhou Han was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously quickly distanced herself from Gu Bai, because no matter how you looked at it, the pretty girl should be looking for Gu Bai, so Zhou Han wisely stepped aside.

The girl smiled brightly and greeted them both, "Good morning!"

Gu Bai looked puzzled and didn't respond.

Zhou Han couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Hey! What are you doing? Someone's greeting you! You should respond!"

Gu Bai also answered softly, "I don't know her..."

Zhou Han's face darkened. She thought, "Oh my god! Could it be that the girl Gu Bai abandoned has come knocking on my door? Thank goodness it has nothing to do with me... Wait a minute! Would Gu Bai really do something like that?"

While Zhou Han was filled with questions...

The girl realized that her greeting was a bit abrupt, and then, blushing, she said, "Good morning! Zhou... Zhou Han..."

"What—!?" Zhou Han was struck dumb, utterly bewildered. "She greeted me? Are you kidding me? Do I even know you?"

"Oh~" Gu Bai said to Zhou Han with a smile, "It seems she came to see you. You're quite popular now..."

"Are you mocking me?" Zhou Han said with a dark face. "I don't even know her."

"Looks like I'm not doing too well here. Good luck to you!" Gu Bai winked.

"Hey! Don't misunderstand..." Zhou Han was speechless.

Gu Bai ignored the explanation and quickly left, concealing his merits and fame.

The girl walked over, looked at Zhou Han, and hesitated to speak.

"Who...who are you?" Zhou Han asked疑惑地, "Do we know each other?"

"Me!?" The girl pointed to herself and said with a smile, "I'm Yao Xiaorui."

"Pfft—!" Zhou Han spat out her drink, finding it hard to accept reality. She thought, "This...this is Yao Xiaorui?! We just met two days ago, how did she become like this today?! Did they change actresses?! Or did she go to Korea?!"

"Doesn't it look strange?" Yao Xiaorui touched her hair.

“This…” Zhou Han paused, then said, “It’s…it’s quite beautiful…”

Zhou Han did tell the truth, because he knew Yao Xiaorui was very sensitive and easily hurt.

"Is...is that so..." Yao Xiaorui blushed. "As long as you think it looks good..."

"Huh!? What does this have to do with me!? Your lines are easy to misunderstand!" Zhou Han said, embarrassed.

"It's nothing! It's nothing!" Yao Xiaorui hurriedly waved her hands repeatedly in a panic.

Zhou Han's mind was practically exploding with questions. She thought, "What's going on?! Something feels off. Is there some misunderstanding...?"

“Let’s go together!” Yao Xiaorui took Zhou Han’s arm, her face still flushed. It seemed she had tried very hard to encourage herself before making such a bold move.

"Ah!?" Zhou Han's head exploded, and she quickly pulled at his arm, "Let go! Let go now!"

An Audi parked at the school gate. Lin Nianwei got out of the car and saw Zhou Han and Yao Xiaorui pulling and tugging at each other, the atmosphere was very ambiguous.

Lin Nianwei remained expressionless, revealing no emotional fluctuation, but—

The book in her hand inexplicably fell to the ground.

Chapter Forty-Five: Rumors Spread

Mr. Lin noticed that something was wrong with his daughter outside the car, so he slowly rolled down the window.

"Daughter, what's wrong?" Lin's father asked curiously.

Lin Nianwei picked up the book, dusted it off, and said, "It's nothing, my hand slipped..."

Lin's father glanced at his daughter strangely, and inadvertently saw Zhou Han and Yao Xiaorui pulling and tugging at each other in the distance.

That boy… Lin’s father thought with a puzzled look, he seemed somewhat familiar…

Zhou Han tried to pull his arm away quickly, but Yao Xiaorui wouldn't let it go. He couldn't be violent towards the girl, so the two were at an impasse.

Yao Xiaorui knew that her behavior was too bold, but now she was in a dilemma and had no choice but to continue to hold Zhou Han's arm.

What's wrong with her? Why is she clinging to me like this? I don't remember ever offending her. If this continues, people will definitely misunderstand... Zhou Han thought to herself with a dark expression.

“Let go…” Zhou Han said seriously.

“Let’s go together…and…it doesn’t really matter…” Yao Xiaorui said, blushing.

"Let go first, there are more and more people around, they'll misunderstand..." Zhou Han frowned and said softly.

"I...I don't care!" Yao Xiaorui said stubbornly.

Zhou Han raised an eyebrow, smeared some lipstick, and thought with horror, "Surely, I must have offended her somehow? She's willing to ruin my reputation just to settle scores with me. How vicious..."

"Let's not beat around the bush, what do you want from me to let me off the hook..." Zhou Han said with a stern face.

Yao Xiaorui was stunned, completely failing to understand Zhou Han's meaning, and even misinterpreting it. Her face flushed, and she said shyly, "This... how can a girl like me say something like this..."

Zhou Han's eyebrows furrowed in frustration, their thoughts moving in completely opposite directions.

Yao Xiaorui hugged Zhou Han's arm tightly, subconsciously pressing her chest against him, without even realizing it.

Zhou Han's head buzzed loudly, her mind went blank, and although there was clothing between them, the soft feeling was surprisingly real.

Zhou Han, a seventeen-year-old virgin, had never experienced such a shock before. Normally, no girl would want to approach him. But today, he touched a girl's chest, and his face turned red instantly.

Zhou Han had never felt his body so heavy, stiff as a robot. He felt that his arms were no longer his own, and for a second he experienced the emptiness of the great swordsman Yang Guo.

"Chest...chest..." Zhou Han stammered, trying to remind Yao Xiaorui.

"Hmm?" Yao Xiaorui asked, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"You even asked what's wrong?! How utterly oblivious are you?! Even if you're going to get revenge on me, you don't have to humiliate yourself like this!" Zhou Han felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind, her emotions were far from calm.

Lin Nianwei, carrying her schoolbag, glanced at Zhou Han and Yao Xiaorui indifferently, said nothing, and left directly.

Zhou Han opened her mouth as if to explain something, but hesitated, and Lin Nianwei had already walked away.

"Oh no..." Zhou Han's face fell, and she thought with utter despair, "When did Lin Nianwei arrive? I hope she won't overthink it..."

Zhou Han shook her head, trying to stop thinking about it. Turning back with a pained expression, she said, "Let go..."

"I don't want to!" Yao Xiaorui shook her head desperately.

After a struggle, Zhou Han still couldn't shake off Yao Xiaorui, and then he had a sudden idea.

"Look! A UFO!" Zhou Han pointed to the sky with a look of surprise, his expression perfectly conveying the emotion.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in UFOs and I don't want to see them," Yao Xiaorui said with a smile.

Zhou Han was exasperated, her mind a jumble of thoughts. She cursed inwardly, thinking that these kinds of tropes in movies and TV shows were all lies, treating the audience like fools...

Helpless, Zhou Han licked his lips, then suddenly looked behind Yao Xiaorui and said in a panic, "Du...Du Jun!?"

Upon hearing the name, Yao Xiaorui was startled, paused, and turned around abruptly, looking at it. This name had a significant impact on her.

As soon as Zhou Han saw that Yao Xiaorui was distracted, he seized the opportunity and ran away at a speed of eighty miles per second.

Heaven rewards those who persevere, and he finally succeeded!

In the short time it took Yao Xiaorui to turn her head, Zhou Han had already disappeared.
