nThe class leader laughed with a scoff and her gaze towards me was filled with contempt.

n“I was wondering what you wanted to say! You think my brother is the panty thief?”

n“I didn’t say that Shu Zhe is the panty thief…”

n“I knew even you wouldn’t dare to speak nonsense! According to eye witnesses, the panty thief is a strong person who can climb walls with his bare hands, but Shu Zhe can’t even do half a chin-up.”

nShe said while she held her chin with a thinking pose.

n“But you can do chin-ups easily…”

nJudging from her tone of voice, that wasn’t a compliment, but rather a suggestion, that compared to her brother, I would be a much better fit as the perverted panty thief.

n“Forget it, you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the truth.” I embarrassedly said, “Can Shu Zhe even pass physical examinations with such a weak constitution?”

nShu Zhe excelled at all classes and mastered multiple instruments, the only issue was physical education. Once I mentioned it, the class leader couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

n“He doesn’t like sports and I can’t force him…”

n“Why can’t you force him? You’re just too soft!”

nI patted my chest with my guarantee:

n“If you hand him over to me, I’ll definitely put him through Sparta training. I’ll turn him into a new person and give him a fresh start with less than a month of time!”

n“No way!” The class leader immediately refused without a second thought, “You’ll injure him! You’ll probably push all your dissatisfaction for me onto him!”

nEh? In your mind, how petty and narrow-minded do you think I am!

nDon’t look down on others! I’m a man and I’ve always believed that one must bear the consequences of their own actions, I would never vent my anger on an innocent party! Next time the class leader offends me, I’ll take revenge on her.

nThere would be tons of ways to take revenge, why would I act out on Shu Zhe?

nOf course, if it’s not a serious problem, if you kneel down like Xiao Qin and apologize (“Ye Lin, I’m sorry I was wrong”) I would forgive you!

nThe train arrived at the first stop. There were more people that got on than those who got on, so the carriage became more and more congested.

nThe class leader had to stand closer to me because she moved to give space to three elementary school kids.

nAlthough it wasn’t to the extent of Xiao Qin throwing herself in my arms, we were still shoulder to shoulder and we could hear even hear each other’s breath.

nThe class leader was taller than Xiao Qin, she also had longer arms. She could hold on to the subway rings properly and she doesn’t need to rely on me to keep balance like Xiao Qin.

nI felt a bit of regret. But even if the class leader couldn’t reach the rings, she probably wouldn’t hold on to my arms.

nMoreover, with so many people here, will the pervert who harrassed Xiao Qin appear?

nBut there’s nothing to worry about, if he dares to reach out his lecherous hands, the righteous class leader would definitely stand up against him. If he decides to use violence, I could use the chance to give him a beating.

nMy wrist already healed after a few days of rest anyway.

nThe time I take to heal is much faster than normal people. Maybe it’s because I was always bullied by the Little Tyrant as a child and it’s a form of natural selection.

nI don’t really consider it a special function. I’m not happy in the least since I could only recall terrible memories.

n

n

nAnyhow, I’ve never had a chance to inspect the class leader’s face at a close range.

nThe bridge of her nose was tall and straight and she had bright eyes full of expression that gave her a heroic look.

nHer pale pink lips were like two flower petals slightly pursed without a smile. It was as if she smiled she would break her solemn and earnest facade.

nAt this moment, she slightly lowered her head and shifted her gaze downwards like she was attracted to the chat between the elementary school kids.

nDid she think of her brother when he was younger? I had no interest in what Shu Zhe was like as a brat, but I would love to see the loli version of the class leader in her photo albums.

n“What are you peeking at?”

nThe class leader’s face didn’t move. She only shifted her pupils and fiercely stared at me out of the corner of her eye.

n“Obviously I’m just staring at air! Did you think I was looking at you? Don’t think so highly of yourself!”

nMy excuse didn’t seem that believable. The class leader turned her face and I could only see a full head of her hair.

nHer long hair reflected the lights inside the train. It appeared dark and shiny like a waterfall of petroleum.

nI suddenly wanted to reach out the feel it.

nGood thing I held back, otherwise she would have been angry.

nEven if she doesn’t get mad, she would laugh at me.

nI realized a bit earlier that when the class leader got more familiar with our distance, she got more relaxed. She didn’t act like normal girls who acted coy and shy, every one of her movement was calm and composed.

nOn the other hand, I became more nervous. I’m letting my imagination run wild and I appear childish.

nCould it be that the class leader is slowly treating me as her brother, so she’s becoming more relaxed?

nAnd I’m nervous because I don’t know how to get along with an older sister?

nWhy do I have to be the younger brother! My birthday is February 17th, so I was born on the first month of the lunary year, were you born even earlier than me?

n“Mwahahaha” I began to laugh evilly.

n“Class leader, when’s your birthday?”

n“Why are you asking that?”

n“Hohoho, let’s make a bet? If you’re younger than me, then you’ll call me ‘older brother’, how’s that sound?”

n“Boring!”

n“What, are you scared? If I lose, I’ll call you ‘older sister’!”

nBased on my experience, you have to give some sweet reward to entice someone into a bet. I’m confident that I would win anyway.

n“Will you really call me that?”

nThe class leader asked while reaching into her bag to find something.

n“Of course, I always keep my promises…”

nThe class leader didn’t even wait for me to finish my sentence and took out her student ID. She took it out and placed it right in front to show me.

nI noted with astonishment that under the birth date, she was born in the same year, but she was born on February 16th.

nNo way! The class leader was born on Lunar New Year’s Eve! Although the Lunar New Year’s Eve special program gets worse each year, you should at least wait until they finish watching it before you pop out!

nAfter she showed me my student ID, she told me to take mines out.

n“I didn’t bring it, also I was born on January 1st, so I’m older! Call me big brother!”

nI shamelessly lied.

nThe class leader mischievously looked at me and her eyes seemed to say “You want to trick me?”

n“You were born on February 17th, right? I remember it clearly!”

n“Why do you remember my birthday?”

n“Because I’ve sorted student profiles before! Some girls in our class are really interested in horoscopes and according to them, our signs are pretty special, so I remembered it.”

n“What’s so special! According to the Zodiac signs, aren’t we just Aquarius? There are tons of people who are Aquarius!”

nThe class leader slightly revealed a puzzled expression, “I don’t really understand Zodiac signs, but apparently there are 48 ways to split the stars and according to that, those born between 2.16 and 2.22 belong to the Aquarius-Pisces cusp.”

nWhat kind of bull** distinction is that! They clearly just put the two sign together! Why are you making it look like something that’s wedged between two signs!

n

n

nThe class leader continued to say: “According to them, the Aquarius-Pisces cusp takes after the combined features of the two signs. First, they are competitive and they put their careers first. Sometimes they would be a bit overbearing, and other times they would be melancholic and moody.”

n“I don’t really want to hear about it, Zodiac signs are all lies!”

nI was still in a deep state of loss.

nThe class leader ignored my protest and continued to explain:

n“They also said that people who belong to this sign won’t tolerate provocations, they would always put up a fight. As for me it’s shown becuase I care about other people’s safety; as for you, it makes you constantly fight every day…”

nWhat the hell! If we’re both the same sign, why would we have different traits? Clearly they’re just judging us based on who they think we are! They are clearly taking advantage of horoscopes to compliment you while ridculing me.

nI stopped speaking and turned away in anger.

nThe class leader hit me with her elbow.

n“What are you doing!?”

nI asked in a bad mood.

n“Call me big sister.”

nIt was an ordinary manner of speaking and didn’t sound like an order. It’s like she didn’t have any expectations for this victory.

nNonsense! You already knew that you were older! This is fraud!

n“What’s there to be proud of! You’re only older than me by one day! Why should I call you big sister!”

nI had no choice but act like I never lost.

n“Hey, the days we differ by aren’t normal days!”

nThe class leader proudly stuck out a finger.

n“I was born on Lunar New Year’s Eve, and you were born on Lunar New Year’s Day. So according to the lunar calendar, I’m not older by a day, but by a year!”

nI couldn’t refute her claim.

nBut a man’s dignity can’t be trampled so easily.

nI used fraud as an excuse to never call her big sister.

nThe class leader didn’t really insist and once we reached ourt stop we all got off the train.

nScared me, I thought that from now on I would be treated the same as Shu Zhe.

nIf I won, I definitely would have forced her to call me big brother.

nIf you belonged to the competitive ‘Aquarius-Pisces cusp’, why are you going easy on me?

nIt seems like Zodiac signs are completely unreliable!
