I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

However, if Zhu Wenyun herself could hear such a long declaration, she would probably tilt her head in confusion, indicating that many of the things mentioned were indeed things that the two of them had already done.

So, to be honest, what she's doing now is just paid content for the epilogue. It's because someone's romantic comedy heroine development plan started too early. She's only just reached the age where most romantic comedies begin, but someone else's love line is already smoothly heading straight to the end.

As it turns out, reality is not a romantic comedy, and Chen Junqian is not exactly a typical romantic comedy protagonist. At least at this moment, he couldn't maintain his wooden composure and keep the gun under control like many of his predecessors. The setting that was originally created to achieve the romantic comedy plot has now undoubtedly become Zhu Wenyun's helper. In this misty, watery place, many boundaries seem to have become blurred.

"...It still didn't work."

Just as Chen Junqian himself felt that compared to the male protagonist of a romantic comedy, he should be throwing himself into the arms of the male protagonist of an old-fashioned online novel and not get hung up on the question of whether he was a beast or worse than a beast, Zhu Wenyun seemed to have calmed down first and even comforted his good brother.

Hmm, thinking about it carefully, this should be the third female protagonist to achieve a layup while dribbling the ball.

"What's wrong?"

Although he really wanted to say something like a domineering male lead, "Woman, you've stirred up my fire, do you think you can just run away so obediently?", Chen Junqian's mind calmed down a bit at this point, and he began to realize their current ages. Actually, he didn't care about it because of psychological reasons, but he felt that the woman should indeed be an adult.

"I feel like if this continues, I won't be able to write a new book."

"why?"

"It's not that I can't write it, but more accurately, I can't publish it. After all, I'm sure I'll be unable to resist writing about what we did today in the book, and then Lulu will slap me shut it down. Then I'll say that this part is the essence and absolutely cannot be deleted, and in the end, we'll break up."

"Please think about your readers, I remember the last survey said that most of them were middle school students."

"High school students aren't at an age where they don't understand anything, and this applies to both boys and girls."

"...I'm really sorry if I don't understand girls."

"How could Junqian say something like that? I feel I've already informed you clearly enough."

"Please don't remind me of those messy memories."

"You're doing something inappropriate to me right now."

"Aren't you the one who's been treating me well?"

"But this one isn't in Pipilu's or the 419 Deadly Sins; on the contrary, it is."

“If Pipilu knew you were mentioning him while doing this, he would definitely cry.”

"I would sincerely thank him for bringing us together. How about we play them in this series next time? By the way, my favorite is the remote-controlled teacher and the invisible man in the classroom. A horror role-playing game would also be good."

"You better apologize to Mr. Zheng Yuanjie right now...!"

Chen Junqian didn't finish his sentence because his mouth was gagged again.

Her long hair, which had been wrapped in a towel, finally broke free from its restraints due to the continuous vigorous movements. Her black hair flowed down like water, covering her entire shoulder under the hot water, and then fell straight down.

It's already up to my waist.

"What is Lin Guo doing now?"

If there's one benefit to Chen Xi and Gu Linguo from Chen Junqian finishing his high school entrance exam early and leaving Guoning, it's probably that they can openly occupy each other's bedrooms. They can sit or lie down wherever they want, whether it's the bed or the chair. However, compared to Chen Xi, who is relatively peaceful because she comes more often, Gu Linguo has a personality that makes her want to open the closet every three seconds if she's not looking, so the former has to keep a close eye on her at all times.

"Didn't Senior go out with Sister Wenyun this time? So I'm wondering what she's doing with her senior right now."

"What else can we do? Work is just like in the movies, everyone dressed in suits to negotiate contracts and deals, and there might even be some business battles involved. But my brother said that if all goes well, we might have a chance to see Wen Yun's novel adapted for the screen next year."

"That's definitely a good thing, but Xiaoxi didn't understand what I meant. I was wondering what my brother would do with the literature girl?"

"Literary girl?"

"Yes, just like Xiaoxi's attribute is that of a younger sister, a literary girl will also have interactions that are unique to her own role, like what I am doing now."

As she said this, Gu Linguo took several books directly from Chen Junqian's bookshelf. They were all novels written by Zhu Wenyun, and you could even find Zhu Wenyun's autograph on the title page when you opened the cover.

"Let's say I'm asking Sister Yun right now, and then the senior suddenly walks over, I would do it like this."

After explaining the specific scenario, Gu Linguo immediately got into character, as if she really saw Chen Junqian walking towards her. Her petite figure suddenly shrank, and the whole book was "snap" into her arms, pressed tightly against her chest, as if it were not a book made of paper, but a hot iron plate, or a miniature suit of armor that could isolate her from the outside world.

Then, she buried her face in the hollow formed by the spine of the book and her arm, leaving only her eyes showing. She glanced at him quickly for half a second, then lowered them again, like a reflection shimmering on the water's surface, clear and slightly trembling, before quickly sinking back to the bottom.

"This action is a big plus. When a girl feels shy, blushes, or doesn't want the male lead to see her emotional expression, she will subconsciously raise the book in her hand to cover half of her face, only revealing a pair of eyes full of complex emotions."

“If you don’t explain, I’ll actually think it’s better; if you do explain, it will seem like you’re being deliberate.”

"But the senior is the kind of person who is moved even if he knows it's intentional, or rather, he was intentionally pursuing these things."

Gu Lingguo responded with a grin, but immediately suppressed her smile.

"Okay, from now on I won't talk anymore. I'll show you how a literary girl communicates. Xiaoxi, just talk to me normally."

Although she wasn't sure what Gu Lingguo was up to, Chen Xi knew that her brother genuinely enjoyed things she couldn't understand, so she maintained a serious learning attitude and started talking as requested:

"Um, have you eaten?"

It has to be said that this is a truly versatile opening line, and at least in terms of its effectiveness as a starter, it should be more reliable than "Are you there?"

Gu Lingguo didn't speak, but just kept turning the pages of the book. Then she stopped at a certain page and pointed to a sentence with her fingertip. Chen Xi leaned over and subconsciously read it aloud:

When someone begins to be missed, whether they are missed or not, they are already being held in the arms of the one who misses them.

"...What the hell is this?"

The other person continued flipping through the book:

If you ask someone a question and they give an irrelevant answer, that's already an answer, so there's no need to ask again.

Are all literary girls riddle solvers?

"The main problem is that I can't find the most suitable passage right away either, but I think Sister Yun can do it herself, since she wrote all these books."

Gu Lingguo, who finally broke down, also looked very frustrated. She felt that this way of communicating was much harder than holding up a pillow with "yes" or "no". The literary girl with no personality should really not exist in reality.

"Actually, communicating through sticky notes is the same thing. Essentially, it's about showing that the child isn't good at talking and communicating with people, or what's more endearing about it."

"But Wen Yun doesn't seem to have that kind of personality."

"I was just talking about the literary girl, not asking about Sister Yun. Just like Xiao Xi, although she is the younger sister, she has never really done anything like a younger sister or said any lines like a younger sister. But she has improved compared to before. If this continues, you will be the younger sister that senior likes the most."

"...You're making it sound like my brother has a second sister."

"Damn it, the childhood sweetheart route is definitely a dead end. My sister is one of a kind, and I don't allow her to brag about this in front of me!"

Seemingly still not having forgotten her role as a literary girl, Gu Linguo spoke while picking up the book "Dearest Forever" that was placed beside her, with the spine facing outwards, and gently tapping the head of a squirrel plush toy on the bed. The force was as light as a feather brushing against it, yet it carried an undeniable sense of 'you're talking nonsense again'.

"Please don't touch my doll, okay?"

"It was just a light touch, and Xiaoxi, you were the one who brought the doll up here."

"Because I want it to sleep here in place of my brother, so that I can come and wake it up every morning. Isn't there a saying that it takes many days to form a good habit, but it might only take a day or two to forget it? It's very difficult to stick to something."

"Heh, I feel like I should just blush, look away, and say, 'N-I didn't mean to wake up Onii-chan.'"

"...2D".

After muttering this to himself, Chen Xi suddenly became sullen again, leaving Gu Lingguo, who was standing next to him, completely baffled.

"What's wrong?"

"If my brother were here, he would definitely retort to me."

"So when is he coming back? Before May Day?"

"Probably, once Wenjun finishes her work."

As soon as the name "Wen Yun" was uttered, Chen Xi was once again left bewildered as she watched Gu Lingguo's fingers suddenly tremble and the pages of her book flip rapidly.

What's wrong with you now?

"This is the reaction a literary girl would have when she hears the male protagonist is with other girls. Xiaoxi, have you learned it?"

"Didn't you just say I'm your younger sister?"

"It's alright. 'Literary Girl' is just an additional sub-attribute. Of course, the combination of 'literary girl' and 'literary girl' can exist. In fact, any attribute can be suffixed with 'literary girl.' Besides, Xiao Xi loves reading, so after rounding up, she's also 'literary girl' and 'literary girl'."

"Or you could just call me a talented woman... but I certainly don't qualify, and the term 'talented woman sister' sounds like the type who's sickly and about to cough up blood."

After making that comment, Chen Xi collapsed back onto Chen Junqian's bed behind her, as if all her strength had left her, and hugged the squirrel plush toy lying obediently in the blanket next to her.

"I hope my brother can come back before May Day. It's fine if he's in school, but he has to come back to be with me during the holidays."

"Yes, yes."

Gu Linguo nodded in agreement, but her hands were still flipping through the book so fast that it was almost blurry.

really.

Now, I can no longer recall making plans with the other person in advance to go to Wuhan, a neighboring city, for an animation and cultural festival during the May Day holiday.

P.S.: Thank you for reading and subscribing.

Chapter 88: Memory Molding (Two Chapters Combined)

As it turns out, just like a certain literary girl might stroke her chin and fantasize, "Do you mean that after I finish writing a chapter today, a childhood friend and soulmate will secretly message me and ask me to meet them privately, sitting next to me in a seaside hotel with a serious face and saying, 'Wenyun, your novel is so good, I've always been your fan, so please go out with me,'" almost every anime-loving boy and girl will have similar unrealistic fantasies about anime conventions at some stage in their lives.

However, Chen Junqian was not surprised by this idea. After all, compared to having to approach people on the street, the environment at anime conventions, where you can basically get a response as long as you are willing to talk to them and ask for a photo, is already extremely friendly to otaku.

Although the atmosphere in these places hasn't quite turned into the wonderful ecosystem of everyone calling each other "teacher" and "Rolls-Royce," it's not far off. Generally speaking, as long as you're willing to muster up the courage to strike up a conversation, you'll get a response, and you might even receive some freebies. After all, cosplayers want to be seen and get feedback when they cosplay characters.

"So, the situation like last time will definitely not happen again. Besides, my brother promised me last year, and now that you've basically graduated, you should keep your promise."

Faced with the invitation that Gu Lingguo had extended before he and Zhu Wenyun left, Chen Junqian thought for a while and finally agreed. After all, he had indeed promised her this before, but he had been putting it off since last year. Coincidentally, an animation culture festival in another city had extended a commercial cooperation invitation to their Bilibili accounts, so it was indeed a good opportunity to go during the May Day holiday.

Mainly, he was genuinely curious about what the so-called big comic convention was like, since all of the information above was just Gu Lingguo's own opinion, originally intended to encourage him to attend.

It was precisely because of this that after Chen Junqian hurriedly accompanied Zhu Wenyun back from out of town, he barely rested for two days before embarking on his second long-distance trip in recent times.

However, unlike the spontaneous trip with Zhu Wenyun, Gu Lingguo's family still needed to make arrangements in advance. After all, this wasn't a short trip where they could leave in the morning and return in the evening without informing their parents. Although it was only a two-day, one-night trip, for a girl of this age, spending a night away from home was still a huge deal.

However, largely due to the fact that the system's elbow strike against the world's will had gained an absolute advantage, Chen Junqian could clearly feel that Gu Lingguo's mother's god-like value was decreasing. In addition, with the help of the other party's father, this trip was inexplicably disguised as a secret study tour training summer camp and passed smoothly.

Gu Linguo herself said that the best way to deal with her mother was to bring up these keywords, the more mysterious and impressive the better. Anyway, the next day, Chen Junqian heard the other party bragging about Gu Linguo attending a summer camp at some famous university downstairs in the community. He didn't seem to realize that it was still May.

Just like in romantic comedies, the female leads always get more screen time than the characters who are "only used to show the darkness of XX's family" and make people exclaim, "How could the adults be so mean?", in fact, when it came to taking Gu Linguo out, Chen Junqian obviously encountered less resistance from her parents than he did from his sister.

"So what exactly did my brother do to get Xiaoxi to agree to let the two of us go out alone?"

Faced with Gu Linguo's question beside him, Chen Junqian nodded very seriously:

"To put it simply, if this were a history textbook, it could probably be written with the sentence, 'The signing of this treaty officially marked the beginning of my transformation into a half-sister-complex, half-independent older brother.'"

"Huh? So my brother wasn't a complete siscon before?"

"I can only say that was my initial answer, and Xiaoxi's answer was, 'Maybe psychologically, but definitely not in action.' Anyway, you know I made a huge sacrifice."
