My sister never calls me brother.

She puffed out her cheeks angrily, stomped her feet, and looked like she had no intention of giving up.

From the moment Zhou Han accepted Yao Xiaorui's chocolate.

She suddenly found herself falling in love with this seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted young man.

Back home, Yao Xiaorui couldn't stop thinking about Zhou Han. It was the first time in her life she had received praise from a boy her age, especially since it was said so earnestly.

Perhaps Yao Xiaorui has really fallen for a boy this time?

Unlike Du Jun's situation, she didn't know what it was like to like someone at that time, so she seemed particularly passive.

However, after realizing that she liked Zhou Han, she felt an urgent urge to understand him, which kept pounding in her heart. So this time, she wanted to take the initiative, even though she was very shy.

Maybe Zhou Han will fall for me, even if it's just for a moment.

She always held onto a sliver of hope.

Yao Xiaorui took two days off for Zhou Han and learned a lot of knowledge online, mostly about tips on how girls should dress themselves, and then applied them to herself.

After persistent efforts, she finally learned it, and the results seemed quite good, as could be seen from the looks of those around her today.

At first, she was a little nervous facing other people's gazes, but when she saw no malice or contempt in their eyes, she felt relieved and became more confident.

Although Yao Xiaorui had heard bad rumors about Zhou Han, she didn't seem to care, perhaps because girls in love tend to have lower IQs.

But Yao Xiaorui, that silly girl, only knew one thing—

Once you fall in love, you just fall in love...

Zhou Han ran back to the classroom, panting. Thankfully, Yao Xiaorui didn't chase after him. He wondered to himself, "What did I do wrong? Why is she treating me like this? She's practically pushing me into a fire pit! She's actually using sex as revenge! I didn't expect it to be so ruthless..."

Unaware of the truth, Zhou Han still believes she is a victim, and has even imagined Yao Xiaorui's scheme—

"Hmph, you think you can run away after offending me? Once I stick to you, you'll be roasted to death by a bunch of boys! Hahaha..." Yao Xiaorui covered her mouth and laughed sinisterly.

Zhou Han shook her head, shaking off her wild imaginings. A chill ran down her spine as she thought, "What a vicious scheme! It's practically a ploy to kill me, to make me suffer a terrible death! But what did I do to offend her? Why is she trying to kill me like this…?"

Zhou Han, with his blockheaded mind, just couldn't understand it.

"Hey! Zhou Han, having a good chat?" Gu Bai greeted her meaningfully.

"I'm not happy at all..." Zhou Han said with a dark face, not wanting to talk to Gu Bai in class, because it would cause a lot of trouble.

"What are you two talking about? I don't understand," Feng Jiarui asked, completely bewildered.

"A code word?" Wang Qianqian couldn't understand it either.

"No." Gu Bai waved his hand and continued, "It was Zhou Han outside the school gate who seemed to be entangled by a very pretty girl."

Feng Jiarui and Wang Qianqian were both stunned, clearly thinking they had misheard.

"Zhou Han has a girlfriend!!!" Feng Jiarui shouted in shock.

"Oh no, I didn't say that!?" Gu Bai said it without any malice, but the people around him immediately misinterpreted his meaning.

Zhou Han glared at Feng Jiarui, his face darkening. He thought to himself, "What are you trying to do, you little blondie?! Are you trying to kill me on purpose?"

Upon hearing Feng Jiarui's shout, all the students in the class stopped what they were doing, the air in the classroom momentarily froze, and then exploded—

"Zhou Han has a girlfriend!?"

"It's impossible that Zhou Han is no longer single!?"

"How is this possible? Am I dreaming?"

The male students were clearly unable to accept it, because Zhou Han represented the bottom line of dignity for many people. Even he had a girlfriend, while they were still single. Didn't that prove that they were worse than Zhou Han?

Therefore, many people were unwilling to accept reality and glared angrily at Zhou Han.

Zhou Han was pinned against the wall by everyone's malicious gazes; if looks could kill...

Zhou Han is probably already experiencing the feeling of being hit by a hail of arrows, which is not a pleasant experience.

"Ahem!" Zhou Han coughed, lowered his head, and squinted his eyes, pretending not to hear anything right under everyone's noses...

"Today...the weather is nice..." Zhou Han responded to everyone with his clumsy words. Originally, he just wanted to avoid the main issue and get by.

When everyone saw Zhou Han make a fool of himself inexplicably when faced with questioning gazes, they all assumed he was covering up the truth.

It seems that Zhou Han having a girlfriend is... true! Everyone was a little disappointed and lost all interest in copying homework.

Zhou Han secretly observed everyone's reactions and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking to herself, "So having a girlfriend is such a big shock to you guys?"

This is probably due to a very strong sense of inferiority. Zhou Han's failure was an encouraging boost for many people in the class.

Because no matter how useless or unsuccessful they are, there is always Zhou Han, who is an even worse example, giving them the illusion that they are no worse than Zhou Han.

Many people harbor a dark psychology: feeling inferior and cowardly and being unable to bear seeing others succeed.

If Zhou Han had a girlfriend, it would be a significant psychological blow to the male students in the class.

Zhou Han had clearly discovered this, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable. He thought resentfully, "Since when have I become a scapegoat for my classmates' failures? Can't I have some ambition? Why does my dejected state give them so much sense of superiority?!"

The more Zhou Han thought about it, the angrier he became, because he suddenly realized how ugly the human heart can be, ugly to the point of being morbid. Because he was humble and cowardly, he would suppress everything that was better than him, until it became as humble as himself, or even more humble, before he would stop...

Zhou Han angrily pulled out a chair and sat down. Fortunately, he had a bad reputation, so his classmates didn't dare to come up and cause trouble. They could only whisper among themselves and continue to belittle Zhou Han to vent their anger.

Miyazaki Airi glanced at Zhou Han from a distance, thinking to herself—

Does Zhou Han have a girlfriend?

Impossible!

What girl would like him...?

Airi Miyazaki smiled and shook her head. As for this matter, let whoever wants to believe it believe it; she certainly didn't, and even wanted to laugh out loud.

Chapter 46 Entertainment Tennis Match

"Are they telling the truth?!" Li Yang turned around and asked incredulously.

"No! It's not what you think..." Zhou Han said, covering her face. "I was just getting revenge on by a girl!"

"I see..." Li Yang patted his chest, relieved, and said, "Then I can rest assured..."

"What's with that relieved look on your face?" Zhou Han's face darkened as she continued, "Can't I have girls who like me?"

"I didn't mean anything by it." Li Yang waved his hand, covered his left eye, and said in a childish tone, "If all the henchmen of the Holy See have partners, and I, as the strongest commander of the Demon Clan, still don't, my subordinates will laugh at me, hmph hmph hmph..."

Zhou Han turned his face away, not wanting to talk to this chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), nor wanting to explain the matter anymore. It was originally a misunderstanding, but it only made him receive more disdain in private.

How could any girl possibly like me? Zhou Han thought to herself, and then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

For Zhou Han, attending class was truly the most boring thing.

After a quick break, it was afternoon, and then came physical education class.

At this moment, Zhou Han was rubbing his hands together with great interest, because the PE teacher said that there would be a recreational doubles tennis match today.

Since it's an entertainment match, the rules have been modified accordingly. Not only has the match time been shortened and a best-of-three system been adopted, but because of the uneven skill levels among the participants, the same person is allowed to serve and hit the ball multiple times. In short, this means that if you are strong enough, you can win the match on your own.

Of course, this isn't allowed in official competitions, but the point is to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

The group assignments remain unchanged; Zhou Han and Li Yang are on the same team.

Zhou Han gripped her tennis racket, looking full of enthusiasm, thinking, "Finally, it's time to show my skills again! If I win another championship, will my popularity among the girls skyrocket?"

The narcissistic Zhou Han was lost in his own fantasies, unaware that he had already been blacklisted by the girls and had no chance of ever getting out of prison.

"Hmph!" Li Yang touched his racket, which he had deliberately decorated extensively and even had the words "Great Demon King" written on it. He then said to Zhou Han in a childish, chuunibyou tone, "I never thought this king would one day have to cooperate with you..."

"Oh," Zhou Han replied indifferently, glancing down at Li Yang's racket and frowning. "Why is your racket so fancy? Is it for a beauty pageant?!"

"The people of the Vatican are still so stupid. This is a divine artifact from the Dark Continent, called the Universe Super Invincible Thunderbolt Unparalleled Unique One of a Kind, in short, extremely powerful... tennis racket." Li Yang said with a serious expression.

"Enough..." Zhou Han covered her face and said helplessly, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. Just tell me how well you play tennis..."

"In the Dark Continent, I'm known as..." Li Yang stylishly tossed his hair and said, "A man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Nadal!"

"Oh, so that's really impressive?" Zhou Han asked.

"I'll be modest, it's about 50/50," Li Yang said with a sly smile.

Zhou Han looked at Li Yang suspiciously, wondering, "Is it true?"

Ignoring Zhou Han's suspicions, Li Yang turned his gaze to the group of girls in the distance and exclaimed, "The girls are all dressed so revealingly today, their white thighs are dazzling! But the athletic skirts are disgusting, they've thwarted my ambition to see their underwear..."

"Hey! That's enough..." Zhou Han was speechless.

Gu Bai and Feng Jiarui also seemed to be well prepared.

"How are the preparations going?" Feng Jiarui asked.

"It's alright," Gu Bai replied.

"Haha..." Feng Jiarui chuckled, lazily tapping her shoulder with her tennis racket, and said, "Anyway, you're the one stealing the spotlight, I'll just be a quiet spectator..."

"Don't say such embarrassing things..." Gu Bai smiled.

On the other side, the girls were also getting ready.

Wang Qianqian looked at Gu Bai in the distance, and then she devised another plan in her mind. She would deliberately lose the competition with Gu Bai to arouse his sympathy and make him comfort her. She had even imagined the scene in her mind.

"I lost, I'm so useless, sob sob sob..." Wang Qianqian kept sobbing.

Gu Bai took Wang Qianqian's hand and said affectionately, "My sweetheart, don't cry. Your tears are making my heart ache. Winning or losing doesn't matter to me. You are the most important person!"

The two gazed at each other with deep affection...

Wang Qianqian was so engrossed in her own imagined scenarios that she couldn't tear herself away, accompanied by bursts of silly laughter.

Looking at Wang Qianqian, Liu Yue shook her head helplessly, wondering what she was thinking about all day.

Lin Nianwei and Miyazaki Airi were doing their preparatory activities.

To make it easier to move around, Miyazaki Airi put her hair up in a bun, while Lin Nianwei styled her hair into a long ponytail.

"Vi-chan, are you ready?" Miyazaki Airi asked.

Lin Nianwei was lost in thought and did not answer.

"Wei-chan!?" Miyazaki Airi turned around and looked at Lin Nianwei, noticing that she seemed preoccupied.

Lin Nianwei tilted her head as if waking from a dream, "Hmm?"

“You weren’t even listening to me…” Miyazaki Airi frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? You look preoccupied.”

"It's nothing..." Lin Nianwei replied casually, but she was actually thinking about what happened between Zhou Han and Yao Xiaorui this morning.
