My sister never calls me brother.

"I have you by my side." Zhou Han smiled.

"Uh..." Elizabeth froze, quickly moving away from Zhou Han, trembling as she said, "Disgusting~"

"Is it disgusting to say what I really think?" Zhou Han was speechless.

"You're not... thirsty, are you?" Elizabeth shrank back, saying with disgust, "It's no use you having your eye on me. I'm just a collection of data, I have no physical form. You should just give up..."

Zhou Han was exasperated and said, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm such a despicable person?"

“I never thought that the evil master would finally take advantage of me and attack me. He actually attacked a bunch of data. I’m so pitiful, sob sob sob…” Elizabeth said, tears streaming down her face.

"Enough..." Zhou Han's face darkened, and she said, "I will never say such ambiguous things again..."

"Hey!?" Elizabeth flew onto Zhou Han's head, sat down, and said, "Wait! I was just a little touched. You finally realize how important I am to you. From now on, as long as you're filial to me, pamper me, spoil me, and indulge me, you'll get your share of the benefits, hehehe~"

"Shut up and get back to work..." Zhou Han said expressionlessly, glancing at the information on the projector.

"That wicked master can't take a joke, he really has no emotional intelligence..." Elizabeth shook her head and said helplessly.

Zhou Han didn't say anything, but slammed the electric drill onto the table with a loud bang.

“Eek—!!!” Elizabeth was startled; she hadn’t been threatened in a long time.

"I suddenly realize that working hard is a very good traditional virtue that everyone should learn. Master is wise and mighty, truly a model and example for us to learn from!" Elizabeth flattered enthusiastically, showing the projector with great effort.

Zhou Han was speechless and remained silent, not saying a word.

The two, one human and one elf, investigated for a long time and made some discoveries, but none of them were related to Fang Yong's request.

Zhou Han's eyes were bloodshot, she was very tired, and she was even thinking of giving up.

"After investigating so much information, nothing useful has been found?" Elizabeth asked, seemingly less tired than the data collector.

"No..." Zhou Han said wearily.

Elizabeth thought for a moment and said—

"Could it be that we've taken the wrong direction in our investigation?"

Chapter Ninety Little Star

"Wrong direction!?" Zhou Han intentionally or unintentionally recalled what Lin Nianwei had said—

"Fang Yong said this problem only arose close to the competition, so it's highly likely that it's related to previous matches."

"Tsk!" Zhou Han clicked his tongue, scratched his head, and thought to himself, it seems I have no choice but to follow her train of thought...

"You have a solution?" Elizabeth looked at Zhou Han with a puzzled expression.

"Get all of Fang Yong's official match videos." Zhou Han perked up.

"Yes, sir!" Elizabeth saluted in mid-air and snapped her fingers.

Rows of basketball game videos were projected onto Zhou Han's screen.

Zhou Han looked at Fang Yong's record and was speechless. To be honest, he was a little shocked because at first glance, he had almost no losses, all of them were green.

“This Fang Yong is really impressive…” Elizabeth exclaimed, then changed the subject, “However…”

Elizabeth moved her fingers out of thin air, and a match video instantly jumped to the first position.

“He lost this game, and I find it very strange,” Elizabeth said, puzzled.

"When is this basketball game?" Zhou Han asked.

“About two years ago,” Elizabeth replied.

"Two years ago..." Zhou Han pondered for a moment, thinking to himself. Two years ago was when Fang Yong was in his third year of junior high school. Come to think of it, I had never heard of any basketball games at school when I was in my first year of high school, so this game must have been...

"Let's play the video of this match..." Zhou Han requested.

“OK!” Elizabeth snapped her fingers.

The projected basketball game video began to play.

Zhou Han watched the video intently. The match was extremely intense, with the score difference being small, and the two teams taking turns leading the score.

This closely contested match lasted for more than two hours, and finally ended with a score of 109-110. Fang Yong's team unfortunately lost this fierce match by one point.

After watching the match, Zhou Han licked his lips and exclaimed—

"No wonder Fang Yong had problems so close to the competition; this match can be considered a stain on his life..."

Elizabeth sat on Zhou Han's head and nodded in agreement.

The night is still and quiet.

While everyone else was fast asleep, Zhou Han was working tirelessly on the club's commission and found it hard to fall asleep.

Some people, like Lin Nianwei, toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep because of their own feelings.

Lin Nianwei frowned, tossing and turning in bed, looking preoccupied and unable to fall asleep.

She saw Yao Xiaorui at the classroom door today, and for some reason, it made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the lunchbox Yao Xiaorui was holding behind her made Lin Nianwei feel a pang of pain in her heart.

Because she had never given Zhou Han a lunchbox, but Yao Xiaorui had done so before her.

It wasn't that Lin Nianwei hadn't thought about sending lunchboxes; she had. However, she lacked confidence in her cooking skills, and her proud personality made it difficult for her to send them out. So, she only fantasized about sending lunchboxes.

Lin Nianwei was indeed taken aback by Yao Xiaorui today, leaving the usually calm Lin Nianwei somewhat at a loss.

Lin Nianwei didn't know why Yao Xiaorui could deliver lunchboxes so easily. Perhaps it was because Yao Xiaorui was more courageous than her and could face her feelings directly, unlike herself, who didn't dare to say what she liked and could only keep it to herself.

"Maybe I should take the initiative myself. That way, I can change this strange stalemate of being more than friends but less than lovers," Lin Nianwei thought to herself, frowning.

Although Lin Nianwei thought so, taking the initiative was still quite a challenge for her.

Unable to sleep, Lin Nianwei sat up in bed and went barefoot to the balcony, wearing a white nightgown.

The evening breeze lifted the white curtains, making them flutter like flags in the wind and lifting a few strands of her hair.

Lin Nianwei looked up at the vast starry sky of late summer, which was like a deep ocean, unfathomable, and gave her an urge to dance with the wind.

She looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, smiled for once, and tucked a strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ear.

Lin Nianwei recalled her childhood encounter with Zhou Han, a secret she had always kept hidden because she believed it was Zhou Han's most romantic moment—

When they were young, Zhou Han and Lin Nianwei were in completely opposite situations.

Zhou Han had many friends because of her simple and honest personality, while Lin Nianwei was introverted and quiet, so few people paid attention to her. At that time, she was still a bit chubby.

Girls are generally more precocious than boys in elementary school, but most of them do not yet have the concept of romantic love.

Whenever everyone played together, Zhou Han and a group of people would go crazy, while Lin Nianwei would sit on the slide, reading a book. At that time, the two did not know each other and never thought that they would cross paths in the future.

When Lin Nianwei saw others playing together, she would unconsciously glance at them from time to time while reading her book.

She actually wanted to join, but being proud and reserved, she couldn't bring herself to speak, and even chatting was difficult.

Until one day, Lin Nianwei's eyes met Zhou Han's by chance.

Zhou Han stood there in the crowd for a moment, then ran over.

Lin Nianwei was a little nervous, so she quickly looked away and continued reading, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Want to play together?" Zhou Han asked loudly.

Lin Nianwei remained silent, looking down at her book.

"Hey~ Zhou Han, come here!" the friends shouted from afar.

"Oh! Coming right away!" Zhou Han replied, turning to look at Lin Nianwei and saying, "If you want to come along, then come on."

Zhou Han ran away after she finished speaking.

Lin Nianwei breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she wasn't good at dealing with overly enthusiastic people.

Lin Nianwei initially thought it was just an accidental encounter and that Zhou Han wouldn't come again, but the next day...

Lin Nianwei was still sitting on the slide reading a book.

Zhou Han suddenly sat down next to her with a smirk, looking at Lin Nianwei.

Lin Nianwei frowned, moved to the side, and wondered, why is he here again?

"What's your name?" Zhou Han asked.

Lin Nianwei remained silent.

"What book are you reading?" Zhou Han continued to ask.

Lin Nianwei remained silent.

"Why do you sit on the slide every day?" Zhou Han seemed completely unconcerned about Lin Nianwei's indifference.

No matter how Zhou Han asked, Lin Nianwei remained silent.

However, Zhou Han seemed to enjoy it immensely, constantly chattering away beside Lin Nianwei.

Day three...

Lin Nianwei continued reading on the slide.

Zhou Han came with his guitar today, which distracted Lin Nianwei a bit. When Zhou Han was little, he was short and dragged his guitar on the ground, which looked rather comical.

Zhou Han sat down next to Lin Nianwei with practiced ease and took out her guitar.

"You can play the guitar?" Lin Nianwei asked curiously.

Zhou Han paused, somewhat surprised, and said with a smile, "This is the first time you've spoken to me."

"..." Lin Nianwei blushed, realizing that she had been too forward, and quickly lowered her head to read her book.

Zhou Han scratched his head in confusion, plucked the strings to adjust the tone, and began to play.

The intro was familiar, like a children's song. The clever Lin Nianwei had already recognized it as the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

After the intro, Zhou Han began to sing, his voice youthful and deep—

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!

I've finally found my own star.

Hanging in the night sky, shining brightly.

The brightest light in my life must be you.
