My sister never calls me brother.

“You’re not an expert on this. Let me ask you…” Song Mingyuan paused, then said seriously, “Where do people’s eyes look when lingerie models are walking the runway?”

“...underwear…” Miyazaki Airi stammered.

"That solves it! With more lingerie models showing, people stop looking at the exposed parts and start looking at the lingerie instead," Song Mingyuan shrugged and grinned slyly. "It's the same principle as erotic novels; if there's too much pornography, people will focus on the plot! Haha!"

Miyazaki Airi was speechless, her face full of black lines, and she thought to herself with frustration—

That makes perfect sense; there's no way to refute it.

Chapter Fifty: Birds of a Feather Gather

Song Mingyuan looked around the activity room and asked, puzzled, "Where's Zhou Han?"

“Uh…” Miyazaki Airi’s eyes darted away, and she hesitated before saying, “Maybe… in the infirmary…”

It was perfectly normal for Zhou Han to go to the infirmary after taking such a powerful tennis smash. Miyazaki Airi now felt that she had gone a little too far back then, and she only felt a tiny bit of guilt.

"He went to the infirmary again?" Song Mingyuan scratched his head and said, "Why does he keep getting injured?"

"Well..." Miyazaki Airi said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't know either..."

"Master!" Lilith stared at the shopping bag in Song Mingyuan's hand and asked, "What did you buy this time?"

"Hmph! The latest erotic novels, and my wife's figurines..." Song Mingyuan adjusted his glasses and held the shopping bag high.

"Oh!!!" Lilith's eyes were full of stars.

Lin Nianwei, who was reading a book, suddenly sighed, looked up, and said, "You've spent all the club funds again, haven't you?"

Song Mingyuan's expression stiffened, and he remained silent.

"Is that really true!?" Miyazaki Airi asked with a gloomy face.

"This...this..." Song Mingyuan broke out in a cold sweat under Miyazaki Airi's gaze, and finally nodded under the pressure, "I didn't spend it all, there's still...some left..."

"How much is left?" Miyazaki Airi's face darkened further.

"Uh...this...this..." Song Mingyuan's heart trembled with fear, and he finally stammered, "Seven...seven yuan...fifty cents..."

Airi Miyazaki stood up angrily and said, "What can seven and a half dollars buy?! That's club money! Can you please not use it as pocket money?! What if the club needs money for activities?!"

"That's easy!" Song Mingyuan gave a serious thumbs-up and said, "If we don't have money, we can do crowdfunding!"

"Crowdfunding my foot! Who would be so stupid as to pay out of their own pocket?!" Miyazaki Airi immediately launched into a吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism) mode at Song Mingyuan's eccentricity.

"Don't worry! Seigaku Club has a long history, so..." Song Mingyuan gave a thumbs up again and said, "We play on nostalgia!"

"What kind of sentimentality does a club need to play at! Only people without real ability would play the sentimentality game!?" Miyazaki Airi was furious.

"If we don't have the strength... can't we rely on you guys?" Song Mingyuan shrugged.

"In the end, it's still our burden that's being borne..." Miyazaki Airi's face fell, and she didn't want to waste any more words.

"Hey~" Song Mingyuan scratched his head and said with a grin, "Don't worry about the details, hehehe~"

Lin Nianwei shook her head, not wanting to say anything more, and continued reading her book.

"Master! Master!" Lilith couldn't help but interrupt them, saying, "Let me see the new book! I'm tired of reading all your old collections!"

Airi Miyazaki sighed, thinking helplessly, "Just how many erotic novels has she read? A perfectly good girl has been corrupted like this..."

Without a word, Song Mingyuan pulled out a pornographic book from his shopping bag, handed it to Lilith, and said generously, "Disciple! Take this and have some fun..."

"Pfft pfft pfft!" Lilith took the little yellow book, grinning with her little tiger teeth, and kept shaking her golden ahoge, looking very satisfied.

"Don't look!" Miyazaki Airi snatched the erotic book away and said to Lilith, "You're too young to look at things that are rated 18 or higher."

"How could this happen..." Lilith's face fell, deeply shocked.

"Let her see it, it doesn't matter..." Song Mingyuan said nonchalantly.

"No way!" Miyazaki Airi retorted immediately. "Can't you act like a senior? What kind of senior gives a junior dirty books?"

“Yes…” Song Mingyuan paused and said, “My senior, the former president of Seigaku Club, he gave me a lot of them, but they were all real-life ones, which I wasn’t really interested in…”

"Don't confuse your bizarre experiences with ours," Miyazaki Airi said with a dark expression.

"What's so weird about it?" Song Mingyuan said with a sly grin. "It's all just puberty! It's like how everyone secretly watches your country's AV..."

Miyazaki Airi raised an eyebrow, picked up the rolled-up little yellow book, and slammed it down on Song Mingyuan's head.

Song Mingyuan had a bump on his head and was lying on the ground.

"Miyazaki-senpai, why won't you let me see? It's not that..." Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously, "You want to see it secretly by yourself, right? Hehehe..."

Miyazaki Airi's expression turned cold. She glanced at Lilith, then raised the rolled-up little yellow book again and tapped it on Lilith's head.

Lilith also developed a bump on her head and lay on the ground.

"Birds of a feather flock together. I didn't believe it before, but now I do!" Miyazaki Airi thought to herself with a dark expression.

The master and apprentice lay quietly on the ground, gazing at each other from afar.

Lin Nianwei raised her head expressionlessly, glanced at everyone, and said nothing, remaining indifferent to worldly affairs.

Zhou Han, who had just come out of the infirmary, was covering her aching eyes and heading to the club activity room.

He has now transformed into a one-eyed pirate captain who roams the Caribbean Sea.

His eye socket was bruised and swollen after being hit by Miyazaki Airi's smash tennis ball.

He could barely open his eyes and could only see people with one eye.

Zhou Han frowned, thinking, "This brat is too ruthless! Now she has to maintain this childish, delusional behavior..."

Zhou Han, who was passing by, saw a mirror. He froze for a moment, then suddenly acted foolishly, covering his left eye and shouting—

"If God can't save this corrupt world, then I'll destroy it and kill this useless god along the way. The world-destroying power in my left eye is slowly awakening. Hehehehe, hahahaha..."

He seems...quite handsome! Zhou Han thought with delight.

Several students passed by Zhou Han, glanced at him, and chuckled.

Zhou Han blushed, looked at herself in the mirror, and muttered to herself, "Like a **..."

He shook his head and left.

When Zhou Han arrived at the entrance of the club activity room, she saw a boy acting suspiciously. He was none other than Xu Zheng, a former member of the news department.

Xu Zheng had been standing at the door for a long time because he was supposed to be conducting an interview, but he unexpectedly saw his goddess, Miyazaki Airi, outside the door. It seemed that she was a member of this club. Happiness came too suddenly, making his heart pound.

At this moment, Xu Zheng really wanted to run wildly, to release his uncontrollable excitement, to run around the earth, and then thank heaven! Thank earth! Thank his ancestors for their blessings, allowing him to see Miyazaki Airi again.

Xu Zheng used to not believe in superstitious beliefs about fate and destiny, but today!

He believed it! And he was convinced that his encounter with Miyazaki Airi was an arrangement of fate...

Zhou Han frowned, walked over, and asked—

"What brings you here at the entrance of our club?"

Chapter 51 Interview with the News Department

The activity room.

Airi Miyazaki held the erotic book high, preventing Lilith from reaching it.

Lilith clung to Miyazaki Airi like a koala, reaching out to grab the erotic book, but because of her short stature, she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.

Airi Miyazaki found it hilarious to tease Lilith like this, because it was the first time she had ever experienced what it felt like to be a giant.

"Miyazaki-senpai is so cunning! She's bullying us!" Lilith said, baring her little fangs in dissatisfaction.

"Who bullied you? Did I stunt your growth?" Miyazaki Airi smiled happily, thinking, "Hmph! Yesterday you said my chest was the same size as yours, but I'm much taller than you. Now you know how powerful I am, right? Was I a little too mean? Whatever! Haha..."

Although Song Mingyuan really wanted to speak up for his apprentice, he was pressured by Miyazaki Airi and decided it was best to play dead.

The door to the club activity room was pushed open, and Zhou Han walked in, covering her eyes, and saw Miyazaki Airi teasing Lilith.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Han asked, exasperated.

When Lilith saw Zhou Han arrive, she quickly sought help, running over and pitifully saying, "Senior Zhou, Senior Miyazaki is bullying me..."

"Huh!?" Zhou Han glanced at Lilith, who was clutching her clothes, and said to Miyazaki Airi, "Isn't that despicable? Bullying a junior schoolmate like that."

"Tsk, you believe everything she says?" Miyazaki Airi frowned, holding up the little yellow book in her hand, and said, "I'm doing this to prevent her from being further poisoned, it's absolutely a righteous act!"

Zhou Han stared blankly at the little yellow book in Miyazaki Airi's hand.

Lilith shook the ahoge (cowlick) on her head, realizing she'd been exposed, and awkwardly fiddled with her fingers, chuckling sheepishly as she started her usual idiotic act of "Who am I? Where am I?"

Zhou Han looked down at Lilith, feeling annoyed. "Why does this girl always try to use me as a pawn? Is she taking advantage of my lack of education?"

"Why are you covering your eyes?" Miyazaki Airi asked suspiciously, "Are you imitating Li Yang's chuunibyou?"

"Who's into chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? I don't have that hobby." Zhou Han removed her hand, revealing her swollen left eye, and said, "Now you know why I was covering my eyes?"

Lin Nianwei looked up at Zhou Han, who looked quite seriously injured.

"Haha, you can go rob people now, you don't even need to put on makeup." Song Mingyuan laughed.

"Pfft pfft pfft..." Lilith laughed heartlessly.

“You guys…” Zhou Han said helplessly, “You have absolutely no feelings for each other…”

"Hmm..." Miyazaki Airi thought for a long time but didn't know what to say, because it was she who did it!

Finally, all Miyazaki Airi could say casually, "It's great! Much cooler than before..."

"You're kidding me!" Zhou Han's face darkened.

"Who...who told you to be so shameless during the competition, humph!" Miyazaki Airi snorted coldly.

Zhou Han was exasperated and sighed, "Never mind..."

"You're smart enough to back down..." Miyazaki Airi refused to back down.

"Ah! Right." Zhou Han suddenly remembered the guy outside and said, "When I came in just now, there was someone outside the door who said he was there for an interview with the news department."

"Huh?" Song Mingyuan was startled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let him in!"

Zhou Han nodded and went outside to call for someone. Song Mingyuan quickly took the opportunity to fix his hair.

Xu Zheng followed Zhou Han in, his eyes glancing at Miyazaki Airi from time to time, his heart filled with excitement.

But being watched by everyone made him a little nervous.

Xu Zheng stood in front of everyone and introduced himself, "Hello everyone from Seigaku Office, my name is Xu Zheng, and I am a member of the News Department. I am currently in charge of the column on campus celebrities. For the first issue, I plan to do an interview with Seigaku Office. I hope you will cooperate."
