    Chapter 180 The Ice Queen


    Michelle gave a whimper that reminded one of a puppy, eximing, “Zachary, you’re so kind.


    You’re like my real brother!”


    Zachary responded with a yful groan, “Cut it out, with you as my sister, I’m going to be worked to


    death.”


    Michelle pouted in response, “Am I really that terrible?”


    Without missing a beat, Zachary shook his head, “Being terrible and being strenuous are two


    different things.”


    “All right, let’s forget about it then. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you,” Michelle said as she


    turned around, calling out to a group of boys who were deeply engrossed in their game on the


    basketball court. “Calvin-”


    At the sound of her voice, Calvin immediately turned his head to look in her direction.


    With a bright and cheerful smile, Michelle yfully beckoned him over with a wave of her finger.


    The boys around him exchanged knowing nces, nudging and pushing Calvin towards her while


    teasing him. “Calvin, you sure move fast, already meeting the parents, huh!”


    “Who’s that stunningdy? She has an icy beauty about her,” one of themmented.


    Calvin replied, “That’s Michelle’s older sister.”


    “Ah, your future sister–inw!” another joked.


    One of the boys hooked an arm around Calvin’s neck, teasing, “Hey Calvin, does your sister–inw


    have a boyfriend? If not…”


    Calvin pushed him away with a look of disgust. “Get lost, Michelle mentioned that her sister was


    already


    married.”


    “Hahaha, what’s with that look, Zeke? Isn’t the brother–inw standing right here? What are you


    thinking? Be careful, or he might just give you a good thrashing!”


    Zeke shot back, “Can’t I even ask a question?”


    Amidst the teasing, Calvin was coaxed over by the group, but the youngds trailing behind him


    seemed intent on witnessing the scene unfold. They all stood about a step behind, clearly ready to


    enjoy the spectacle. As Calvin approached, his hands rubbed together nervously, his smile a bit stiff


    as he greeted, “Hello…”


    Michelle, ever the free spirit, quickly introduced the two. “Calvin, this is my sister, my biological


    sister! The one I’ve told you about, a straight–A student and a genius, a legend in our area!”


    The confident boy from before now seemed unsure of himself. He nodded at Lysander in a


    deferential manner, almost like a grand greeting.


    Michelle then stuffed the clothes and bottled water she was carrying into Calvin’s arms and


    excitedly grabbed Lysander’s arm, introducing him with a yful tone, “Lysander, this is my


    boyfriend, Calvin. He’s the captain. of our school’s basketball team. Isn’t he handsome?”


    Lysander, observing her younger sister’s yful and teasing demeanor, indulged her with a smile, “I


    suppose he’s quite handsome.”

    Michelle, clearly delighted by the acknowledgment, nudged Calvin. “What are you standing there


    for? Greet them.”


    Calvin, still somewhat reserved, managed a hesitant introduction, “Hi, I’m Calvin. We caught a


    glimpse of each other once before, outside of cram school.”


    Lysander nodded with a smile, remembering the encounter. “Yes, I remember.”


    “Right,” Calvin responded, relieved.


    “Your bow was executed quite perfectly,” Lysander added.


    Whoosh!


    At this, about ten boys behind them, who had been closely watching the interaction, burst into a


    wave ofughter.


    As theughter continued, Calvin felt increasingly ufortable and out of ce.


    Noticing his difort, Lysander took the initiative to break the ice, addressing the group behind


    him, “Are these young men part of your basketball team?”


    Calvin confirmed with a nod, “Yes.”


    “They are all quite handsome,” Lysander remarked as her gaze swept over the back row.


    Moments before, the group had been clutching their stomachs,ughing so hard at Calvin that they


    nearly fell over. However, as soon as they caught Lysander’s sweeping gaze, they suddenly grew


    quiet and stood still, some even blushing as the color crept up their necks.

    With a dismissive wave of his hand, Calvin said, “Ignore these people, they’re all lunatics.”


    Lysander then asked Calvin, her tone casual yet inviting, “Are you free now? I’d like to have a chat


    with you, is that okay?”
