My sister never calls me brother.

"I said you and me..." Zhou Han was about to repeat himself when he was startled.

Because Sun Qi suddenly raised the baseball bat and hit it with all his might.

Zhou Han reacted quickly, catching it with his bare hands. His expression turned cold, his eyes fierce, and he said, "Just playing petty tricks..."

"Impressive! You really are impressive! It seems your eyes still hold the light from back then; you're not dead after all…" Sun Qi said with a sinister grin—

"This is getting more and more interesting!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine Like a Madman

"I heard you joined a club, and you seem to be taking it really seriously." Sun Qi paused, licked her lips, and said, "Childish games with friends, do they make you that happy?"

"It's my choice, I don't think I need you to interfere, do I?" Zhou Han retorted.

“I’m your friend!” Sun Qi shrugged and said, “No one knows you better than me. This kind of childish game is really not suitable for you. You should be like me, surrounded by a group of subordinates, parading around in the streets with a retinue of followers, teaching a lesson to anyone you don’t like. That’s how you should be.”

"We're not friends! Don't pretend you know me so well!" Zhou Han said angrily. "I shouldn't have bothered with you in the first place; I should have just let you continue to be bullied!"

"You bastard!" Sun Qi's expression twisted.

Sun Qi charged forward, swinging his baseball bat. Zhou Han dodged to the side and threw a punch, hitting Sun Qi in the face.

Sun Qi, who had been hit, staggered back a few steps, wiped his mouth, and looked at his blood with a blank expression.

When Sun Qi's henchmen saw their leader being beaten, they all grabbed their weapons and rushed over.

Zhou Han took a few steps back. Due to his illness, he felt weak in his limbs, making it difficult to fight so many people. He called out in his mind, "Xiao Yi!"

But there was no response.

Zhou Han felt something was off, and after checking her pockets, she realized she hadn't brought her phone. She thought, "Oh no..."

"Get out of my way!" Sun Qi shouted. "This is between him and me! You are not allowed to interfere! Otherwise... don't blame me for turning on you!"

Upon hearing Sun Qi's order, the crowd surrounding Zhou Han had no choice but to make way.

"Hmph!" Zhou Han snorted coldly and said, "Fine! I'll play with you!"

“I’ll wake you up…” Sun Qi pointed at Zhou Han with a baseball bat and said, “I’ll show you how stupid your current way of surviving is!”

Sun Qi ran towards Zhou Han and slammed the baseball bat down on him.

Zhou Han dodged to the side, raised his fist, and prepared to repeat the scene from before.

But then something unexpected happened. Sun Qi released the baseball bat, letting it spin twice in the air, then grabbed it again, swinging the bat through the air and aiming it at Zhou Han once more.

Zhou Han was stunned; she hadn't expected Sun Qi to be able to use the baseball bat in such a creative way.

"Hmph!" Sun Qi snorted coldly and punched Zhou Han hard in the stomach.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, at an extremely fast pace, with the plot reversing in an instant.

Zhou Han knelt on the ground, feeling nauseous from the blows; the stick had hit her squarely in the stomach.

"Hahaha! What's wrong?" Sun Qi tapped his shoulder with a baseball bat and said, "Are you getting old from being so addicted to playing games with your friends? What a disappointment..."

Miyazaki Airi looked at Zhou Han nervously, hoping that nothing would happen to him. Although she usually beat and scolded him, she couldn't help but worry in this critical moment.

Lin Nianwei was still reading, but her slightly furrowed brows indicated that she wasn't really absorbed in it. Unlike Miyazaki Airi, she wasn't worried about Zhou Han's safety; instead, she was worried about what would happen next. She had already foreseen something...

Zhou Han turned her head and spat out a mouthful of saliva, then stood up. She was now somewhat outwardly strong but inwardly weak, as the fatigue from her illness was becoming increasingly severe.

"You asked for this!" Zhou Han pulled out a baton from behind her back, swung it sharply, and shouted, "Don't come crying to me later!"

"Haha, finally getting serious?" Sun Qi made a highly provocative gesture at Zhou Han and said, "The more serious you are, the more excited I get!!!"

Zhou Han leaped into the air and swung his baton down hard. Sun Qi raised his baseball bat to block, deflected the blow, and then pushed the baton away.

With a turn, he swung the baseball bat and hit Zhou Han on the chin.

Zhou Han fell to the ground, nearly fainting, feeling that she had lost all feeling in her chin.

"Heh, you're really too weak now..." Sun Qi sneered, looking at Zhou Han on the ground, "Now do you know how foolish your partner game was? What 'chosen path'? Even I can easily trample on you. In every sense, you don't belong here. You and I will always be the same!"

Sun Qi sighed and said softly—

"You and I are both standing on the opposite side of youth."

Zhou Han's consciousness is somewhat blurred now, and the weakness from a cold is coming on like waves.

Sun Qi slung the baseball bat over his shoulder, turned around, and started to leave. "Let's go!"

The students from Zhongqing No. 8 Middle School followed behind Sun Qi.

Miyazaki Airi looked at Zhou Han lying on the ground, somewhat anxious. She gritted her teeth and shouted into the crowd, "Idiot! Get up! You passed out from such a small injury! You have no manliness at all!!!"

Lin Nianwei stared blankly at Miyazaki Airi, speechless.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Han regained some clarity. He quickly shook his head, got up, and glanced at Miyazaki Airi in the crowd.

"Who's the idiot! Don't be so disrespectful to me!" Zhou Han snapped at Miyazaki Airi.

Airi Miyazaki paused, somewhat bewildered, thinking, "What is this?! Is he scolding me?! He dares to scold me?!"

"Don't go!" Zhou Han called out to Sun Qi.

“I’m sorry,” Sun Qi turned around and said with a hint of disdain, “I don’t want to play with you anymore…”

Sun Qi frowned, and before he could finish speaking, Zhou Han rushed up and threw the baton in his hand.

Helpless, Sun Qi raised his baseball bat to block, and with a "ding," the baton was bounced away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Han leaped up and tackled Sun Qi.

"What!?" Sun Qi was a little confused.

Zhou Han pinned Sun Qi down and punched him repeatedly in the face—

"What opposing force?! I've never even tried to make an effort!"

"You bastard!" Sun Qi gritted his teeth as he was beaten.

Zhou Han showed no mercy, punching Sun Qi in the face repeatedly.

"Don't always act like you know me so well. What do you know about me! Even when I'm ostracized, I've never given up on myself like you!" Zhou Han waved her fist.

"No..." Sun Qi was about to speak when he was interrupted by a fist.

"Do you think you're so powerful now? Do you think those who bullied you back then were powerful too? Huh!?" Zhou Han's blows became heavier and heavier.

Sun Qi was beaten black and blue, with blood streaming down his face.

Xie Peng had been watching from the sidelines for quite some time. He wasn't Sun Qi's subordinate; he was only there because he was forced to. With his back to Zhou Han, he started making his own calculations...

If I knock Zhou Han unconscious, I should be able to get Du Jun's reward back, right? Xie Peng thought to himself.

Having made up his mind, Xie Peng came up behind Zhou Han, raised the iron rod, and beat Zhou Han hard.

Zhou Han suddenly stopped beating Sun Qi and lowered his hand.

Has she fainted? Xie Peng wondered.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Han stood up, staring fiercely at Xie Peng, blood slowly flowing from his head, obscuring his face and making him look even more ferocious.

Airi Miyazaki gasped and covered her mouth.

Lin Nianwei also showed some worry this time.

Xie Peng was somewhat intimidated and took a few steps back. It was the first time he had ever seen such a person; he was extremely terrifying.

Zhou Han grabbed Xie Peng by the collar and slammed her head against Xie Peng's face.

Xie Peng screamed, clutched his nose, and collapsed to the ground.

Who is this person?! Why won't they fall? Are they a monster? Xie Peng thought in terror—

No... he's practically a madman!

Chapter Seventy: Barriers

After defeating Xie Peng, Zhou Han went back and continued to beat Sun Qi.

For some reason, Zhou Han is now particularly fixated on teaching Sun Qi a lesson.

"I'm not like you!" Zhou Han kept punching Sun Qi. "Don't just categorize me into your camp!"

Sun Qi's underlings were dumbfounded; it was the first time they had ever seen their boss being ridden and beaten.

"I never intended to be your friend! Take a good look at yourself!!!" Zhou Han shouted angrily.

Sun Qi, lying on the ground, was stunned. He had been beaten by Zhou Han to the point of being unable to speak. He felt his body was somewhat numb, but he was still barely conscious.

Xie Peng sat on the ground, swallowing hard in fear, and shouted, "What are you doing?! Your boss has been beaten up, why aren't you helping him?!"

Sun Qi's henchmen suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, and stepped forward with sticks in hand, pulling and hitting them, but to no avail.

Even though many people were hitting Zhou Han, he showed no sign of stopping and continued to attack Sun Qi relentlessly.

"Zhou Han, stop..." Lin Nianwei appeared out of nowhere, her brows slightly furrowed, her voice somewhat unsettled.

Sun Qi's henchmen all stopped what they were doing and looked at the beautiful girl.

Upon hearing Lin Nianwei's voice, Zhou Han stiffened, his fist hovering in mid-air.

"That's enough, isn't it..." Lin Nianwei lowered her voice.

Zhou Han looked at Lin Nianwei, then at Gu Bai and Feng Jiarui lying on the ground in the distance, and resolutely swung his fist, hitting Sun Qi hard in the face, without stopping.

Lin Nianwei was somewhat disappointed and stopped talking.

"Bam—!"

The school security guard broke down the door and entered the gymnasium.

"Stop!" the security captain shouted.

School security guards stopped the students from Zhongqing No. 8 Middle School, and Zhou Han was also pulled away.

The students of Class 3, Grade 2 finally saw the arrival of the school security team and all breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people spontaneously took care of Gu Bai and Feng Jiarui.

Zhou Han was also covered in bruises, but no one cared about him.

Zhou Han glanced at Gu Bai lying on Wang Qianqian's lap, hesitated for a moment, and then limped over to him.

"Um..." Zhou Han reached out her hand, wanting to check Gu Bai's injuries, "Are you... alright?"
