Chapter 180 The Ice Queen

Michelle gave a whimper that reminded one of a puppy, exclaiming, “Zachary, you’re so kind. You’re like my real brother!”

Zachary responded with a playful 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 playfully beckoned him over with a wave of her finger.

The boys around him exchanged knowing glances, nudging and pushing Calvin towards her while teasing him. “Calvin, you sure move fast, already meeting the parents, huh!”

“Who’s that stunning lady? She has an icy beauty about her,” one of them commented.

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

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

One of the boys hooked an arm around Calvin’s neck, teasing, “Hey Calvin, does your sister–in–law 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–in–law 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 young lads 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 playful 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 playful 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 of laughter.

As the laughter continued, Calvin felt increasingly uncomfortable and out of place.

Noticing his discomfort, 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, laughing 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?”
