I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

Are you two looking to get prescription glasses?

"It's not a prescription lens; it mainly serves as an accessory, like those non-prescription glasses."

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that two of his achievements involved mirrors, Chan Kwan-him would have been prepared to just accept the frames.

The store staff weren't particularly surprised by his request, as some customers do come in specifically for eyeglasses because they want them to look good. So they continued to ask:

"So, would you rather be paired with this handsome guy or the girl next to him?"

"she."

"Okay, you two come with me for a moment. You can try on the glasses over here."

He followed the shop assistant to a display case next to him, where the non-prescription glasses he wanted were displayed. However, Zhu Wenjun seemed more interested in the sunglasses on the counter next to him. After picking one up, she suddenly hung it on Chen Junqian's nose, then stood a couple of steps back, touched her chin, and commented while examining it:

"I can imagine quite a few scenarios based on this image."

"For example?"

"For the sake of the female lead, I would go out and fight with thugs. Actually, some readers have asked me why I haven't written any roguish male protagonists."

"I can't play that kind of role, but if it's a real fight, I can fight."

"Yes, I believe you."

Shaking his head, Chen Junqian took off his sunglasses again. He thought of his predecessors who were always smoking after being reborn. He suddenly felt that being chosen for a romantic comedy was not a bad thing. After all, the male protagonists in such movies usually don't have such scenes. They even have to strictly abide by the ban on drinking before adulthood, so all the slightly drunk scenes have to rely on the magical little prop, chocolate-covered liquor.

After admiring Chen Junqian's glasses, Zhu Wenyun also stepped forward and chose a pair herself. The black half-rimmed glasses had a small, streamlined design on the temples, understated yet elegant, exuding a simple, cool beauty.

To be honest, most of the classmates Chen Junqian encountered during his student life wore glasses. He himself had worn glasses for more than ten years, almost to the point of making them an extra organ. However, none of the six girls he met after his rebirth wore glasses. So, seeing Zhu Wenyun's glasses at this moment was quite a novel experience.

As it turns out, Zhu Wenyun's appearance is that of a typical literary girl. Her tall figure and long, straight black hair naturally give off a cool and aloof vibe, and the black frames of her glasses perfectly outline the contours of her eyes, making her already deep eyes even more intellectual.

"How about it?"

Without looking in the mirror first, Zhu Wenyun looked directly at Chen Junqian. After all, she wasn't wearing glasses for herself, but for him, so his reaction was the most important thing.

"Great, this one will do."

"So efficient."

"Because buying glasses is only the first step."

"Oh, so it was just the preparation of props beforehand."

After taking off his glasses and having the shop assistant pack and pay, Chen Junqian and Zhu Wenyun returned to their hotel. Night had completely fallen. After swiping his room card to open the room, Chen Junqian immediately went into the bathroom, running hot water in the bathtub and turning on the bathroom heater.

In no time, the bathroom was filled with rising steam, and the temperature began to rise visibly. Fortunately, it was already May, and Chen Junqian wasn't wearing much.

"Alright, Wenyun, you can put on your glasses and come in now."

Although she could pretty much guess what trick Chen Junqian was up to, Zhu Wenyun still cooperated by wearing her glasses and opening the bathroom door. The warm steam instantly condensed on her lenses, turning them into frosted glass, obscuring her entire vision with a white mist.

In this situation, Zhu Wenyun also subconsciously stopped, tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat at a loss, before gently hooking her fingers around the temple of her glasses and taking them off.

Without the obstruction of her glasses, her eyes, flushed and slightly moist from the evening breeze, were fully exposed to the warm yellow light. Perhaps because her vision had suddenly cleared, her eyes held a rare, slightly bewildered look. However, she didn't clear up quickly; instead, she deliberately maintained this hazy state, as if she had truly become unable to see anything clearly after taking off her glasses.

Zhu Wenyun first lowered her head, lifted the hem of the plaid skirt she was wearing, and hurriedly wiped the glasses with the soft fabric. Her long, black hair slid down her shoulders, covering half of her face.

"...I can't see clearly."

Without needing Chen Junqian's guidance, Zhu Wenyun, who was comparable to Gu Linguo in terms of getting into character, spoke softly. Her breathing seemed unsteady due to shyness and anxiety, with each exhale being slightly rapid, causing a bit of white mist to settle on the edges of her glasses.

However, given the indoor environment, no matter how many times she wiped them, the lenses of her glasses remained foggy. Zhu Wenjun had no choice but to give up on this pointless activity and began to carefully move forward. With a kind of bewildered look after losing sight of her surroundings, she pretended not to see Chen Junqian in front of her and approached the bathtub step by step. Then, she suddenly stopped and hastily took off her shirt.

"Stop, stop, stop—what are you doing?"

"Aaaaaaah, why is there a male voice coming from my bathroom?!"

"...Does this kind of dedication even apply here? And this isn't just nearsighted, this is completely blind! All I wanted was the feeling of confusion when my glasses fogged up and I had to take them off to wipe them, and the scene of not being able to see things clearly."

"Since the location was in the bathroom and you turned on the water, I naturally assumed you were going to take a shower."

"That's because it's summer now. If it were winter, it would have been enough for Wenyun to walk from outside the hotel to inside. Only this method can create a temperature difference to make the glasses fog up."

"Okay, but the fog is really thick in here. It feels like even without my glasses, I can't see all the details clearly, right?"

"...Why are you still taking your clothes off?"

"Hmm? I can see clearly now? The water's already filled; it does feel like I can take a bath now."

"I'm not blind, you know."

"Then put your glasses on."

"Isn't there an option for me to leave?"

"It's okay, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

Before the other person's last piece of clothing fell to the ground, Chen Junqian carefully put his fogged-up glasses on his nose, artificially adding a holy light filter to his vision.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he and Xu Youwei had even taken a bath together in the same bathtub before. Youyou is the kind of person who, upon seeing this, would be perfectly aware that the other person is still a student, so she can easily understand the responsibilities and boundaries. But Zhu Wenyun is completely different. She is now like a literary girl in a romantic comedy who has broken free from the constraints of braids and glasses. Her carnivorous aura is inexplicably strong.

Suddenly, he thought of the achievement of 'childhood sweethearts should have taken a bath together'. It can only be said that among Guo Ning's trio, he really did take a bath with Xu Youwei, and he is currently sitting in the closest seat listening to Zhu Wenyun take a bath. On the contrary, the childhood sweetheart herself, who should have achieved this achievement the most, has only reached the level of talking on the phone while taking a bath together so far.

"Now I think I understand the way Junqian and Lin Guo get along."

"...Our interactions wouldn't be like this at all."

"Well, because the relationship is different, and it was originally my decision to make it myself."

Hearing Zhu Wenyun's voice, Chen Junqian suddenly felt his right hand being pulled over again, as if she were placing it on his head. Her long hair, wet from the hot water, emitted a misty heat, carrying a heavy meaning as it wrapped around his fingertips.

"She also told me that you really like to pat heads, even though I've never seen that before."

"This is mainly because Wenjun has always been taller than me. Mumu doesn't like being touched on the head because she feels like it's a way of saying she's short. As for Youwei, I touch her head a lot, but Wenjun just doesn't see it."

"Aren't you taller than me now?"

"That depends on whether the person involved likes it or not, right?"

"Indeed, for me, I would much rather you touch my hair than pat my head. Washing, drying, tying, combing, and styling my hair are things that my sweetheart should do... Hmm, doesn't this sound like something out of an ancient Chinese literature novel?"

"I feel like I should help you wrap your hair up right now, since long hair isn't good for taking a bath."

"You even know that?"

"I know that, and the same goes for swimming."

Here's a towel.

With the sound of water, the other person seemed to have adjusted to a position with their back to him, so Chen Junqian took the initiative to reach out and touch the wet hair, tie it up, dry it, and wrap it up.

"Long hair is really troublesome."

"But you like long hair, right? Otherwise, Youwei wouldn't have grown her hair long."

"But Yun's hair is still the longest."

"Because I like you the most."

"So it wasn't because you've always had long hair and you've always been growing it out?"

This proves that I've always liked you.

"A literary girl would say something so blunt."

"It's cunning to always hide what you want to say in words, even if the other person can understand everything. Sometimes it's okay to be a little more direct. Phew—it really feels hot to take a bath in the summer. I'm sweating non-stop."

He heard what sounded like the other person getting up from the bathtub, and then Chen Junqian noticed a flicker of achievement in his mind.

In fact, just like the female protagonists have glasses, many of the male protagonists also have similar outfits, which allows you to unlock such scenes.

When do people take off their glasses?

When your glasses fog up and become unusable? When you're about to go to sleep? Or when you want to give your eyes a rest?

If we're talking about a romantic comedy, the answer would actually be "when you want to see the other person's eyes directly," which is why the moment of taking off glasses has become a classic scene for many female protagonists.

The same goes for the male protagonist.

[Take off your glasses, and then...]

To be honest, although she is a member of the legendary loser group, Ms. Sawamura Eriri's combo skills are actually not bad. If it weren't for the other female protagonist with explosive action standing next to her, and if her actions weren't too hesitant, she would definitely have left an indelible mark on the male protagonist's heart.

Of course, it was precisely because of her failure that she also left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

[Condition for achieving this: While wearing glasses, have any heroine with romantic comedy potential remove your glasses and then kiss them.]

The previously blurry vision suddenly became clear after the glasses were removed.

Then, a warm, even fiery, sensation was transmitted from the female protagonist's body.

Well, Chen Junqian, the male protagonist of a romantic comedy, has never actually seen a girl taking a bath. It has to be said that this is truly embarrassing for all the seniors who have been given a treat as soon as they open the door.

But what's happening now is even more exciting than the above-mentioned events.

Because he was hugged by a girl who was taking a shower, and then the unfinished business of a certain legendary loser, his glasses, which had completed their historical mission, were casually thrown aside.

This time, the softness that belongs to a certain place was conveyed well without needing to be proven.

Sure enough, he played a romantic comedy role-playing game with Zhu Wenyun.

...It's more than a hundred times more dangerous than Gu Lingguo.

Chapter 87: This isn't what a literary girl is like! (Two chapters combined)

That's not how a literary girl should be!

I should first come to the library or the arts club activity room after class because of my duty or to pick up something, and watch the faint light of the setting sun shine through the gap in the curtains onto the female protagonist who is concentrating on reading. Then the girl looks up from her book, habitually pushes up her glasses, and looks at the male protagonist with a cold and almost empty gaze. The air seems to stand still at that moment.

Then we go to the library bookshelf and reach for the same out-of-print book or popular new work at the same time. The slight touch of our fingertips will instantly make the atmosphere ambiguous. Or the girl may not be able to reach the books on the upper shelves, and the male protagonist will approach from behind to help her take them down, forming a kind of enveloping posture similar to a wall slam.

Moreover, in the library where silence is required, the two must be very close and speak in whispers, even when saying thank you, making this sense of taboo a catalyst for the atmosphere of romance.

Only then should you recommend your favorite books to me, to test whether I can resonate with you on a spiritual level. Then I'll find a delicate bookmark tucked inside the pages, or a handwritten note from a young girl reflecting on her reading.

After borrowing your books a few times and gradually getting to know you, I was able to discover your unexpected charm. You can be a seemingly aloof but actually sarcastic light novel author, or you can appear to be reading serious literature while actually indulging in wildly imaginative romantic fantasies, and even secretly write various R18 content.

Only then was I invited to join the literature department, which consisted of only you. The two of us would spend long afternoons in the small activity room filled with old books. Even without speaking to each other, just listening to the sound of turning pages felt warm and cozy. Then, you would casually take off your glasses or undo your braid, revealing the stunning beauty hidden beneath...

Okay, since the descriptions of the system and the achievements related to the literary girl were all quite long, Chen Junqian could only briefly reiterate its cry:

In short, that's not what a literary girl is like!
