My sister never calls me brother.

Feng Jiarui lay on the ground, unconscious, and motionless.

"Is this guy an idiot? He actually thinks he can reason with us." Sun Qi kicked the unconscious Feng Jiarui and said disdainfully.

The younger brothers chuckled, the students of No. 8 Middle School were unusually excited about being able to teach these arrogant bookworms a lesson.

Sun Qi, stepping on Feng Jiarui, said arrogantly, "I'll ask you one more time, where is Zhou Han?"

“He took leave and didn’t come to school,” Gu Bai replied.

"Don't talk," Wang Qianqian whispered from the side.

"Wang Qianqian is right." Liu Yue rarely agreed with Wang Qianqian.

"I know you're handsome, but there's no need for you to step forward now..." Li Yang said quietly in the crowd. He had already decided that if a fight really broke out, he would just lie on the ground and play dead to get away with it...

Gu Bai shook his head and walked out despite everyone's attempts to stop him.

"Who are you?" Sun Qi asked.

"My name is Gu Bai, and I'm the class monitor," Gu Bai replied.

"Oh?" Sun Qi leaned closer, circled around Gu Bai, and said, "You've got guts, haven't you? Plus, you have a handsome face."

Gu Bai didn't speak.

As Gu Bai walked out on his own, the students couldn't help but show expressions of worry.

Sun Qi noticed this perfectly.

"Oh? I see." Sun Qi said quietly, "Handsome face, perfect personality, aren't you the most popular person in the class? Very popular? You spend every day surrounded by everyone, you're actually... very happy, aren't you?"

“No…” Gu Bai retorted, without looking at Sun Qi.

“There’s no use arguing. The facts are right in front of you. Look at the expressions on the faces of those people behind you. Their worry is genuine. People like you are truly enviable. You don’t have to do anything. Friends come to you one by one, and they even take the initiative to play the supporting role. Do you think that’s fair?” Sun Qi said softly.

“How did you know about all the efforts I’ve made…” Gu Bai glanced at Sun Qi and said.

"You say you've tried?" Sun Qi laughed, a hint of malice in his voice. "Don't joke around. You're just born that kind of person. I've seen far too many of you. You always put on this sanctimonious act, but you actually think everyone around you is an idiot, don't you?"

“Don’t assume that about others. All of what you’re saying is just your subjective impression of them. I seriously doubt whether you’ve ever actually had a proper conversation with anyone. In the end…” Gu Bai paused, then said, “You don’t have any friends, do you?”

"Hehehehe..." Sun Qi suppressed his laughter, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha..."

Gu Bai was puzzled as to what Sun Qi was laughing at. Was what he said really that funny?

“You’re so funny, I really like you…” Sun Qi wiped away her tears of laughter and said, “I have friends, Zhou Han is my friend.”

"That's just wishful thinking on your part. You and Zhou Han are nothing alike..." Gu Bai looked into Sun Qi's eyes and said seriously.

Sun Qi was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he slapped Gu Bai across the face.

The students in Class 3 of Grade 2 exclaimed in surprise. They had never seen Gu Bai being beaten before, and they had never even imagined it.

Sun Qi grabbed Gu Bai's hair and said menacingly, "You answered wrong. Zhou Han and I are the same, exactly the same..."

Seeing Sun Qi's gritted teeth, Gu Bai smiled sympathetically.

Seeing Gu Bai's mocking smile, Sun Qi really wanted to tear his face to shreds, but then a plan came to mind.

“You just said you don’t treat the people around you like idiots. Even if that’s true, the people around you will still treat you like an idiot. Do you believe that?” Sun Qi smiled.

"No, it won't happen." Gu Bai answered without hesitation.

"Amazing! Amazing! You're such a good person." Sun Qi clapped his hands. "But let me tell you what's real. Relationships between people are deceptive. In reality, you have no one by your side. When you're in danger, none of those you consider friends will stand up for you..."

"Shut up..." Gu Bai showed anger for the first time, wanting to rush up and punch him, but was forced to the ground by his henchmen.

"Are you angry?" Sun Qi was slightly surprised and said, "So you know you're in the middle of nowhere. Well then, let me tear down this facade..."

"You bastard..." Gu Bai gritted his teeth in anger.

Sun Qi looked at the students in Class 3, Grade 2, and shouted—

"Everyone! Let's play a game!"

Chapter Sixty-Eight is getting more and more interesting!

Zhou Han, who was ill, was wrapped in a blanket and curled up in bed, feeling like she was going to die.

"It hurts so much..." Zhou Han muttered to herself, her face ashen.

Suddenly, the phone on the table flashed with golden light, and Elizabeth rushed out of it.

"Oh no! Oh no!" Elizabeth cried out in terror as soon as she came out.

"What's wrong? Don't make noise when I'm sick..." Zhou Han frowned, looking listless.

"Something terrible has happened! Someone from the school is looking for you, and they're even fighting with people in the gym!" Elizabeth looked very flustered.

"What happened?" Zhou Han struggled to sit up, trying to regain her composure.

"Snap!" Elizabeth quickly snapped her fingers, projecting a live feed of the stadium onto Zhou Han's screen.

Zhou Han stared at the image, her eyes widening, unable to utter a word.

Without saying a word, he grabbed his coat and ran out.

“Wait a minute…” Elizabeth was about to say something, but stopped.

Because Zhou Han had already run out of the house.

Elizabeth was struck dumb, and in shock, she clutched her face and screamed—

"You idiot master! Why didn't you take me with you?!"

Because the phone was too far from Zhou Han, Elizabeth was unable to speak into Zhou Han's mind.

Despite being ill, Zhou Han was running through the heavy rain, rushing to school. He had no idea that he had left his phone at home...

Inside the gymnasium of Jinteng School.

"Everyone! Let's play a game!" Sun Qi said with a seemingly kind smile. "Next, I'm going to use violence on your class monitor. Of course, you can save him, but there's only one way: come up here and take the beating in his place!"

Many of the students in Class 3, Grade 2 remained silent.

Sun Qi's gaze swept across the crowd, and many people took a step back. He clapped his hands and said, "It seems everyone has no objections, so... let the game begin!"

Gu Bai was dragged in front of his classmates by Sun Qi's henchmen and they started punching and kicking him. He could only endure the pain without making a sound.

Because making a sound would be like submitting to these people, he, as the class monitor, absolutely could not make a sound.

Sun Qi glanced at the students in Class 3, Grade 2 across from her and said with a sneer, "Is this really okay? Your class monitor has been a friend to all of you. Now that he's in trouble, isn't there a single person who dares to stand up for him?"

Although the students were very angry, no one stood up, and many looked away.

Li Yang, standing in the crowd, felt a sharp pain watching Gu Bai being beaten. He could only close his eyes, thinking, "I told you not to stand up for yourself, why were you so stubborn? You could have just waited for the school security guards to come..."

After fighting for a while, Sun Qi shook his head, clapped his hands, signaling his underlings to stop. He squatted down, grabbed Gu Bai's hair, looked at his scarred face, and said, "Now you know, right? You considered them friends, but that was just wishful thinking on your part. They were just using you. Being around you makes you feel like most people, so you won't feel lonely, invisible, or ignored. In reality, they just see you as an idiot!"

Sun Qi deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone could hear him. He successfully tore apart this hypocritical relationship, and many people lowered their heads in shame.

"You...shut...up..." Gu Bai replied weakly.

Miyazaki Airi, standing in the crowd, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Tch!" Miyazaki Airi wanted to go out and give Sun Qi a good scolding, but Lin Nianwei held her back tightly with her hand.

"Vi-chan!?" Miyazaki Airi found it hard to accept.

"Just wait for the school security guards to arrive. Don't do anything unnecessary. Do you want Gu Bai to get beaten up for nothing?" Lin Nianwei remained calm and focused on her book, not even looking up.

“But…” Miyazaki Airi frowned.

“He stood up for us. If you get hurt, as the class monitor, he will really be held responsible. It’s a matter of his dignity…” Lin Nianwei said calmly.

Miyazaki Airi suppressed her anger and glared at Sun Qi.

Looking at Gu Bai on the ground, Wang Qianqian felt an indescribable heartache. She frowned and took a step forward.

Liu Yue, who was next to her, was startled and stopped her, whispering, "What are you doing? Don't do anything stupid, the school security guards are coming back!"

"Let go!" Wang Qianqian pushed Liu Yue's hand away, walked out, and shouted, "I'll take the beating for him!"

Sun Qi was taken aback, not expecting that someone would actually dare to stand up.

When Gu Bai saw Wang Qianqian come out, he frowned in disappointment and sighed inwardly at how foolish she was...

Sun Qi dragged his baseball bat and strode towards Wang Qianqian, making everyone hold their breath.

"What...what did you just say?" Sun Qi asked, tilting her ear to the side.

"I...I...I said I'd take the beating in his place!" Although Wang Qianqian was terrified, she still managed to say it despite the pressure.

Sun Qi paused for a moment, then raised his baseball bat without hesitation, ready to strike.

"stop--!!!"

The gymnasium door was pushed open, and Zhou Han leaned weakly against the door, panting heavily. He hadn't caught his breath the whole way.

"Why is this idiot here? Is he all better now?" Miyazaki Airi asked, a little worried.

Lin Nianwei frowned; she sensed that something bad was about to happen.

"What are you doing here?!" Zhou Han glared at Sun Qi.

"Zhou Han!" Upon seeing Zhou Han, Sun Qi lost interest in Wang Qianqian and said with a smile, "It's been over a year since we last met, so I came all this way to see you!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Han walked in and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

"What's up? I want to catch up with you!" Sun Qi said with a smile, then told his underlings, "Go close the door. I don't want anyone else coming in while I'm catching up."

The underlings understood and locked the gymnasium doors.

"You're quite the big shot now..." Zhou Han chuckled dryly.

“Of course,” Sun Qi said, shrugging. “I’m not the same person I used to be.”

"Do you think I'm praising you?" Zhou Han frowned and said, "Since when did it become your place to bully others?! You weren't like this in junior high. Look at you now, you're neither human nor ghost, you make me feel disgusted!"

"Have you lost your mind...?" Sun Qi said expressionlessly, pointing to himself, "The fact that I can bully others now proves that I've become stronger! I'm no longer the weak person I used to be!"

"What did you say?! What you're doing now is no different from what those people did to you back then! You're exactly the same as them now!"

"Nonsense!!!" Sun Qi glared at Zhou Han, pointing at him and saying, "I'm clearly becoming more and more like you!"

“I’m sorry…” Zhou Han said earnestly, “You and I are nothing alike.”

Sun Qi approached Zhou Han and asked seriously, "What...did you say?"
