My sister never calls me brother.

"Tch!" Zhou Han curled her lip in dissatisfaction, thinking to herself, "It's just caring about a girl, right? I could do that too if I wanted to..."

“You should… ignore the girls and even laugh at those who don’t have umbrellas. That’s more like you.” Miyazaki Airi looked very serious.

"I wouldn't do that!" Zhou Han retorted angrily, thinking to herself, "So she's always thought of me as a scumbag..."

Zhou Han didn't want to argue anymore and wanted to take off her shoes and come in.

"Wait a minute!" Miyazaki Airi stopped Zhou Han from coming in, saying, "Wait a moment."

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

Miyazaki Airi took off her apron, went to the restroom, brought back a towel, and handed it to Zhou Han, saying, "Clean yourself up before you come in. Show some respect for my hard work."

"This is such a hassle..." Zhou Han took the towel and dried her hair.

"Just shut up and do as I say, even though you don't do any work yourself..." Miyazaki Airi frowned and complained.

Zhou Han blushed and retorted, "Don't make me sound like I'm just a lazy bum. I've shared the housework."

"Huh!?" Miyazaki Airi looked disgusted and said to Zhou Han, "What kind of housework have you ever done?"

"Washing dishes? Don't I always wash the dishes?" Zhou Han said seriously.

"Is this even considered? Isn't this what you're supposed to do since you're eating and drinking for free?" Miyazaki Airi didn't hesitate at all, tearing away Zhou Han's last fig leaf.

Zhou Han raised an eyebrow but did not refute it, because it seemed to be true.

“The glass has been too dirty lately, affecting the light. You’ll be in charge of cleaning it in a while,” Miyazaki Airi stated her intention directly.

"What?!" Zhou Han was startled and said awkwardly, "This is the eighth floor! The eighth floor!!! People will die here..."

“Perfect!” Miyazaki Airi said with a smile. “Without you, I feel that life is much easier.”

Zhou Han swallowed hard in alarm and said, "I think we should hire professionals to clean the windows..."

“That’s even better!” Miyazaki Airi smiled and said, “You pay for it!”

Zhou Han paused for a few seconds, then said seriously, "I think self-reliance is a great habit. Professionals just have an extra rope around their waist compared to me. I can do just as well with the rope!"

"Tch!" Miyazaki Airi rolled her eyes at Zhou Han, tied on her apron, and went back to the kitchen.

Zhou Han dried her hair and body, then prepared to return to her room.

"Remember to take your medicine! Don't catch a cold..." Miyazaki Airi's voice came from the kitchen. She continued, "I'm not saying this out of concern for you. If you catch a cold and then infect me, it'll be troublesome. Don't misunderstand..."

Zhou Han was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "I'm perfectly healthy! How could I catch a cold from just getting caught in the rain?"

In the kitchen, Airi Miyazaki remained silent for a moment, then said fiercely, "Do whatever you want!!!"

Zhou Han was startled, scratched her head, and thought to herself, "Do I look that weak?"

In the end, Zhou Han, who thought he was in good health, still didn't take the medicine.

result--

The next day, Miyazaki Airi had already finished breakfast, but still hadn't seen Zhou Han.

In the past, whenever it was mealtime, Zhou Han would shamelessly come over and freeload.

But today was a bit unusual; he didn't even come out of his room.

Miyazaki Airi glanced at Zhou Han's tightly closed room and looked puzzled, muttering to herself, "Did he oversleep again?"

Left with no other choice, Miyazaki Airi got up and went to Zhou Han's door. She was about to knock politely when she stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then kicked the door hard.

"Hey! Aren't you up yet?! I won't be responsible if you're late!" Miyazaki Airi kicked Zhou Han for a while, but Zhou Han still didn't react.

"Is she fast asleep?" Miyazaki Airi wondered to herself, pressing her ear against the door to listen—the room was completely silent, as if no one was there.

Completely bewildered, Miyazaki Airi pushed open Zhou Han's door and went inside.

“Uh…” Miyazaki Airi looked at Zhou Han wrapped in the blanket and was speechless, because he looked haggard and had snot running down his face.

"Ah..." Zhou Han glanced at Miyazaki Airi, wanting to say something, but felt too lazy to speak.

"You have a cold?" Miyazaki Airi asked, frowning.

"Yes..." Zhou Han replied weakly.

"Didn't you say you were in great health?" Miyazaki Airi said sarcastically.

"..." Zhou Han didn't say anything, feeling that she had been slapped in the face in an instant, which was really embarrassing.

"Sigh..." Seeing Zhou Han's expression, Miyazaki Airi didn't want to provoke him with words, so she asked, "Aren't you going to class today?"

"Yes, I took leave..." Zhou Han said dejectedly.

"Is that so..." Miyazaki Airi went out for a while, came back with the medicine, put it on Zhou Han's desk, and said, "Take your medicine later..."

"Thank you..." Zhou Han forced a smile.

"Hmph!" Miyazaki Airi raised her head and said arrogantly, "I just don't want to be infected by you!"

"I know..." Zhou Han, wrapped in the blanket, was speechless.

After Airi Miyazaki left home, the house became quiet.

Zhou Han was drowsy.

Behind the Jinteng College office building.

There is a small gate here that leads the academy to the outside world, a place sparsely populated.

It's still raining today, but not as heavily as yesterday, though it's not light either.

Under the dim and gloomy sky, Du Jun, carrying a hammer, sneaked over with an umbrella, the raindrops hitting the umbrella and making a pitter-patter sound.

Du Jun arrived at the small door, looked behind him, and seeing no one following, he secretly felt relieved. Suddenly, he raised his hammer and smashed the lock on the small door.

The small door was slowly opened by Du Jun, like Pandora opening her box; no one knew whether you were releasing disaster or hope.

A group of more than twenty people, dressed in the red uniforms of Zhongqing No. 8 Middle School and carrying sticks and other weapons, rushed in. Each of them wore a mask to cover their face.

The crowd parted automatically, and Sun Qi, wearing smoky eye makeup, walked in, followed closely by Xie Peng, who held an umbrella for her.

After entering, Sun Qi looked around the entire Jin Teng Academy and said with a smile, "So this is Jin Teng Academy... It's really beautiful. It's practically tailor-made for those kids who are just playing house. How disgusting..."

Everyone chuckled, except for Du Jun. He looked at the students from No. 8 Middle School holding sticks and felt somewhat worried.

Du Jun only wanted to get someone to beat up Zhou Han, but he didn't intend to use weapons, as it could easily lead to trouble.

“Um…” Du Jun hesitated for a moment and said, “Aren’t you going to take weapons… a bit too ruthless?”

Sun Qi glanced at Du Jun without saying anything, then waved his hand, and his underling handed him a baseball bat.

"What...did you say?" Sun Qi asked, tilting her ear.

"N-nothing..." Du Jun swallowed.

Sun Qi raised the baseball bat and struck Du Jun hard in the mouth, causing blood to splatter everywhere and his front teeth to fly out.

Du Jun collapsed to the ground, covering his mouth as blood streamed down his face. He lay prone, sobbing and convulsing, the rain washing away the blood, which flowed toward the fallen umbrella to the side.

Xie Peng, who was holding an umbrella for Sun Qi, still had injuries on his face. He looked at Du Jun with sympathy.

"Sorry, I heard what you said, hahaha..." Sun Qi laughed wildly.

The henchmen around him also laughed loudly.

"Brothers..." Sun Qi slung the baseball bat over his shoulder, looked at the overcast sky, and said menacingly—

"Let's cause a huge ruckus!"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Let's Play Games!

Inside the gymnasium of Jinteng Academy.

Class 3 of Grade 2 chose to have their physical education class here because it was raining outside.

"Everyone! Let's split into two teams and play together!" Gu Bai called out, holding a volleyball.

“Okay! Okay!” Wang Qianqian came over, took Gu Bai’s arm, and said, “I’ll be on your team…”

"Uh, this..." Gu Bai was embarrassed.

"Gu Bai, you're shining brightly today too," Feng Jiarui exclaimed.

"Since you've extended such a sincere invitation, I, in my great mercy, will accept!" Li Yang said smugly, covering his left eye. Zhou Han wasn't here today, so he had no partner and felt rather invisible.

"If you're going to play, hurry up and stop being so wishy-washy!" Liu Yue, with her fiery temper, said with a frown, thinking to herself, "How long is it going to take to get everyone's opinion?"

Many people responded to Gu Bai's call and gathered there.

Perfect people often attract many people because personal charm is a powerful weapon. Gu Bai may have a naturally attractive personality, but he doesn't seem to care about it.

Outside the crowd, Airi Miyazaki was doing warm-up exercises, eager to try her hand at volleyball.

Standing next to her was Lin Nianwei, who seemed uninterested in Gu Bai's call to action, looking down at her book.

"Do you know why Zhou Han didn't come?" Lin Nianwei asked suddenly, looking at her book without looking up.

"Huh!?" Miyazaki Airi was stunned for a moment, then said, "He has a cold and took the day off."

"Really..." Lin Nianwei frowned slightly, wondering if it was because he lent her his umbrella yesterday?

Lin Nianwei felt a little guilty and hesitated whether she should go and visit him.

Just as everyone was responding to Gu Bai's call, the gymnasium door was kicked open.

A group of people dressed in the red uniforms of No. 8 Middle School, carrying sticks, surged in.

The students of Class 3, Grade 2 all stopped what they were doing and looked at this group of uninvited guests on this rainy day.

Sun Qi, sporting smoky eye makeup, dragged a baseball bat to the front. The heavy bat scraped against the ground, making a sizzling sound, like the low groan of a demon.

"Where is Zhou Han?!" Sun Qi shouted menacingly.

Class 3 of Grade 2 was completely silent. They were all focused on their studies and had never seen anything like this before.

"Are you all scared to death, you bunch of bookworms?" Sun Qi asked the unresponsive Class 2-3 students with a puzzled look.

Sun Qi's henchmen burst into loud laughter. The sound was jarring.

Hearing the bursts of laughter, Feng Jiarui could no longer contain herself and stepped forward, saying, "This is Jinteng Academy, you can't come in..."

"Huh!?" Sun Qi was stunned for a moment, then tilted her ear and asked, "What...what did you just say?"

“I said…” Feng Jiarui was about to repeat himself when Sun Qi knocked her to the ground with a baseball bat.
