I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

PS2: Speaking of which, for a while, my only motivation for going to comic conventions was to play stage games, which gave me a real taste of what it meant to "kick the Beihai Kindergarten"... It seemed like everyone who dared to go on stage to play games was a kid.

Chapter 91: So Don't Go to Comic Con Alone (5k)

To be honest, although geographically speaking, Chen Xi and Gu Linguo were indeed the two girls closest to Chen Junqian in recent years, the truth is that apart from Xu Youwei, the others didn't pay much attention to or be wary of these two, and even Zhu Wenyun herself was the same.

After all, her biggest imagined enemy had always been Lin Mu. If it weren't for the fact that she had talked to Gu Lingguo a few times during this period, and had paid more attention after learning about Chen Xi's identity, the way the two of them interacted with Chen Junqian had always been a blind spot in Zhu Wenyun's understanding. So when this scene appeared in front of her, and after thinking about what Chen Xi had just said about 'occasionally imitating lines and behaviors,' she suddenly felt that the development of the situation might be a bit beyond her expectations.

Chen Xi, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed by Zhu Wenyun's misunderstanding, quickly explained:

"It's not like that between my brother and me. It's just a normal wake-up call."

"No, no, no, I've always felt that normal siblings wouldn't go to their brother's room every day to wake him up. Besides, didn't Xiaoxi just say that she would occasionally indulge him? Speaking of which, does Junqian really like this type of personality? I never really could tell from his usual behavior."

"That's because he himself feels ashamed to say it, and I don't know what my brother is thinking. If you really want to talk about it, look, Lin Guo always acts much better than me, but he still makes me wake him up every day. So I am the most important person. This kind of thing is just icing on the cake. Otherwise, I wouldn't cooperate with him occasionally."

"Indeed, it sounds exactly like some kind of romantic little thing between lovers."

"Yes, yes, my brother said something like that himself."

After a brief test, Zhu Wenyun stopped paying attention to Chen Xi, who was nodding rapidly like a chicken pecking at rice, and turned her attention back to the live stream. The streamer she had directed with gifts and comments had become her eyes, clearly showing everything on stage.

Undoubtedly, for her, a complete outsider to the industry, the first impression of animation as a medium was its exaggerated performance style and dialogue. If Chen Junqian really liked this style, she could occasionally learn such techniques. Recalling the way Chen Junqian talked about the 'school trip' when they went out together before, she began to feel tempted.

The male protagonist of a romantic comedy, far away in Wuhan, was unaware that his performance with Gu Linguo was being watched by two girls from Guoning. Chen Junqian, who had been paid to be a guest, was working very hard, mainly because Gu Linguo, who was standing opposite him, seemed to be deeply immersed in her role, and he had to keep up with the pace.

As an informal amateur voice actor, Gu Linguo's level is certainly not professional, but it is still outstanding among ordinary people. Chen Junqian, who also has a solid foundation of basic knowledge, is not bad either. In fact, with his good voice, even if he reads the lines with intonation, the effect will not be too bad. In the end, the dubbing segment with Gu Linguo was a great success.

Chen Junqian also took the opportunity to advertise the two's Bilibili accounts, but immediately a female tourist in the audience shouted, "Why are all the videos female voices after I followed their Bilibili accounts? Can you release a male supporting role next time?" Before she could answer, Gu Linguo pushed her back to her seat in the guest area.

The main stage activities lasted for about two hours before coming to an end. The second half would be in the afternoon, and the guests would also change. Chen Junqian and Gu Linguo, having finished their work, were essentially freed and finally had time to explore the exhibition as ordinary tourists.

Frankly speaking, no matter how large the anime convention is, it is generally limited to a few large venues. It doesn't take much time to walk from one side to the other and back. So Chen Junqian soon heard people from the side who were obviously outsiders who had been brought there by friends say, "It's just walking around in this area, it's not interesting at all."

He himself neither agreed nor disagreed with this, and even had the same thought. After all, once the initial novelty wore off, you would find that there were only so many places, and the same goes for the booths and stage. After seeing so many people coming and going, you would feel tired. And with the rest area already full, the corners of the venue or the walls next to the entrance were also filled with cosplayers and tourists. It would indeed suddenly make you feel a sense of 'how boring'.

"Huh? I think it's because my brother had too high expectations for the anime convention. Don't many people get bored when they go on vacation? The tour guide points out that this rock looks like a dog and that rock looks like a monkey, and then everyone rushes to take pictures with it. I think that since you're out here, you should find something to have fun on your own."

When Chen Junqian told Gu Lingguo about his thoughts, Gu Lingguo, who was also attending the comic convention for the second time, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She then took Chen Junqian to the main service desk, which he would never have gone to alone. She politely took a booklet from the staff, which showed the blank stamping spots for more than a dozen different booths in the venue. If he collected all the stamps, he could go to the service desk in the evening to draw a big prize.

"Ta-da! The stamp collection event is so much fun, isn't it? Brother, you need to learn to treat the real world like a game. These are tasks. You can get rewards by completing them, and they can also improve your relationship with your teammates. It's a classic RPG, so don't say it's boring, understand?"

After being told those words by Gu Linguo, Chen Junqian perked up again and began to think about why he had been thinking about this and that while he was with Gu Linguo today. Indeed, just as she said, when he went out with others, he spent a lot of time simply waiting and accompanying them, such as when he accompanied Zhu Wenyun to the book signing event a few days ago.

Perhaps it really is as the other person said, that his expectations were too high? He always felt that the comic convention he imagined was not like this, but if he really had to say what it should be like, Chen Junqian felt that he probably couldn't say it, much less organize it.

Let's put that aside for now. Since we've already come here with Gu Lingguo, all we should do now is have fun and cheer ourselves up, since she has indeed been looking forward to it for a long time.

After clearing his mind of all these random thoughts, Chen Junqian followed Gu Linguo, who was skipping and hopping towards the first checkpoint using the map in her hand, and squeezed back into the crowd.

The various stamp collection points marked on the roster are divided into two categories: those set up by the organizers themselves, which are mainly various mini-games. You can get a stamp after completing a game or participating in the game; and those set up by other exhibitors, which are basically related to their themes. For example, you can try out a game or answer two questions related to the IP. Overall, they are all quite simple activities, and you can easily collect them all with just a little time and effort.

As they pushed through the bustling crowd, the first check-in point appeared before them: the Haikyuu!! themed interactive exhibition area. The entire area was decorated to resemble the Karasuno High School gymnasium, complete with realistic wood-grain flooring and even a standard volleyball net. The backdrop displayed the slogan that ignites the passion of countless fans: "Fly!"

"Welcome to the Karasuno High School tryout area!"

An NPC wearing a staff armband greeted them warmly and handed them two black stickers with chibi-style crows printed on them.

"Hello, everyone! The rules for this stop are very simple. See that scoreboard on the wall with height markings? Just jump with both feet and stick the crow sticker in your hand to an area above two meters to get a stamp from this stop!"

Gu Linguo first looked down at the sticker in her hand, then looked up at the towering scoreboard, and then looked down at her pretty but rather complicated dress and the round-toed leather shoes with bows on her feet with a sense of despair.

"Two meters? If I were wearing sportswear, I might be able to compete, but in this outfit today, I feel like I'd have trouble even jumping ten centimeters."

Gu Lingguo tugged pitifully at Chen Junqian's clothes, her lips slightly pouting.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Chen Junqian deliberately adopted a serious, spectator-like posture:

"It's alright, this is just a test of passion. Hinata Shoyo is 1.62 meters tall and he can fly, so Lin Guo can definitely do it too. Go, Pikachu!"

"Screw you!"

Gu Lingguo rolled her eyes at him, but still gritted her teeth and walked to the starting line. She very ladylike pressed down on her skirt with both hands, took a deep breath, and jumped up with great effort, then slapped the sticker on the wall with a "smack".

When Chen Junqian got closer, he saw on the scoreboard that it read 1.61 meters, just a little above Gu Lingguo's head.

"Pfft—is that a long jump or a high jump? You can't even reach the bottom of the net!"

Gu Lingguo turned around angrily, her little face flushed red:

"If you can do it, then you do it! If you can't get to the highest level, you have to treat me to a late-night snack! If you do, then I'll treat you."

"Lin Guo, you said it yourself."

Chen Junqian readily agreed, then deftly took off his outer jacket, leaving only a close-fitting white short-sleeved shirt, naturally revealing the smooth and firm lines of his arm muscles.

He took the sticker and walked to the starting line. As he slightly bent his knees, his gaze instantly became focused and sharp. Then, with a dull thud, he sprang up like a spring.

In that instant of suspended motion, his slender body stretched out to its fullest extent in mid-air, and his arm slammed the sticker onto the very top of the scoreboard—2.6 meters!

Wow!

The tourists queuing around, both men and women, couldn't help but gasp in surprise, followed by applause.

Chen Junqian landed steadily, turned around and raised an eyebrow at Gu Lingguo, his eyes revealing an undisguised smugness:

"So, is Lin Guo treating us to this late-night snack?"

"Okay, I'll treat you."

Gu Lingguo was just about to take the booklet to the staff for stamping when she saw the other party beckoning her over. As soon as she walked to the scoreboard, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist. Chen Junqian's hands had naturally but firmly gripped her slender waist. Before she could react, his arms suddenly exerted force, lifting her high above his head.

As the best-suited female lead in a romantic comedy, selected by the system, Gu Linguo quickly recovered after a brief moment of stunned silence. A huge cheer and screams erupted around her, and some sharp-eyed fans even recognized them and started snapping photos frantically. This made her subconsciously slow down her action of taking a picture of the sticker she was holding in her hand.

"Hey, if you keep doing this, I'm going to put you down."

Chen Junqian looked up at Gu Lingguo, who was so close to him, and realized that she was slowly delaying her actions. Her warm breath seeped through the gap in her skirt, making her face turn red to her ears. She hurriedly reached out and slapped the sticker in her hand onto the 2.4-meter mark.

Upon seeing this, Chen Junqian gently lowered Gu Lingguo down, his movements so tender he was afraid of damaging her skirt. The girl, whose feet touched the ground again, felt as if she were floating on clouds, and even her gaze towards Chen Junqian was tinged with a watery filter, all of which was captured by a nearby livestreamer's camera.

"Can we stamp it now?"

Chen Junqian looked at the staff without blushing or panting, a triumphant smile on his lips.

The staff member NPC, who had just been given a mouthful of unspoken dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), nodded frantically and quickly stamped the Haikyuu!! stamp on the two's booklet:

"That's great! You two have such a good relationship!"

Gu Lingguo snatched the booklet, her face flushed, and turned to walk towards the next exhibition area, muttering to herself as she went:

"This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing! There are so many people taking pictures of us."

"I wasn't this embarrassed when she announced her boyfriend on stage just now."

What if someone I know sees us?

"If we run into Guo Ning's acquaintances in Wuhan, then we can only say that we have indeed traveled into the set of some romantic comedy."

As we walked and chatted with Chen Junqian, we headed to the next place, which was a DIY craft experience area. The task we had to complete was to "print our own exclusive badge".

On the table sits a heavy, purely mechanical manual printing machine. Visitors need to send the photos they want to print to the staff via Bluetooth on their mobile phones. After the photos are printed on specific round photo paper, visitors can operate the machine themselves to press them into a unique tin badge.

Chen Junqian, unaware that this thing would one day be renamed 'smack' and densely covered on ita-packs, could only ask a profound question:

"...Another badge. I feel like this is the most impractical kind of merchandise. It's not as practical as eyeglass cloths, wall hangings, calendars, or acrylic items. You can't exactly wear it on your clothes, can you?"

"You can collect them. For example, if you arrange them neatly on the bed, it'll actually look quite impressive. Speaking of which, what kind of pictures should we print? How about we use that photo of the limited edition Hatsune Miku figure we just took?"

"It's no fun printing other people's badges. Since it's a personalized badge, it should have something meaningful to commemorate it."

Chen Junqian scrolled through his and Gu Linguo's fan group, where fans who came to the comic convention today had posted a lot of photos of the two of them. After looking around for a while, he found a candid photo of the two of them looking at each other when he suddenly lifted Gu Linguo up high in the Haikyuu!! exhibition area.

It has to be said that this fan's photography skills are really good. The dim background of the venue is blurred in the whole photo. Chen Junqian looks up at her with a focused and gentle gaze, while Gu Linguo in mid-air has a red face and pursed lips, looking like a little girlfriend. The composition is quite perfect.

After sending the photo, a round photographic paper was ejected. Gu Lingguo leaned over to take a look and nodded in satisfaction.

"It really looks good, I look good too, and you look good too, but I don't know when we can take it out. How about we just stick it on our backpacks?"

"That's up to you, as long as Lin Guo isn't afraid of Xiao Xi seeing it."

As Chen Junqian answered, he picked up the photographic paper and the metal base, and carefully placed them together into the heavy machine mold.

"Come on, you have to press the last step yourself for this chapter to be considered complete."

Then, he stepped back half a step, making room for him.

Gu Linguo stepped forward, grasped the metal control lever, and pressed it down forcefully.

However, because this machine was pressing sheet metal one-to-one, the resistance was extremely high. When Gu Lingguo was halfway through pressing, the rod got stuck and he couldn't press it down any further.

"Hmm...why is this thing so heavy?"

Just as Gu Linguo was about to ask for help, Chen Junqian was already ready. He stood directly behind Gu Linguo, his arms wrapped around her sides, and his large, warm hands gently covered Gu Linguo's fair and delicate hands.

Then, he slowly began to exert force with both hands, guiding Gu Lingguo's hand, and steadily and smoothly pressed the control lever to the bottom.

With a crisp "click," the mechanical meshing sound rang out, simultaneously locking this tender and sweet flutter in their hearts and solidifying it thereafter.

Well, Chen Junqian still thinks that comic conventions are not very interesting.

But perhaps all activities in the world are like this, and all feelings only change depending on the person.

Just as every everyday experience with someone you love can be considered a miracle, everything you do with someone you love will feel romantic.

PS2: I just found out today that the members of the book club formed a King of Glory team called "Guoning Mumu is Super Playful". They even included "Guoning", which means the number one team in Ningguo City. They are so dedicated to their favorite characters.

Chapter 92: Concept God Health Version of Kaori Miyazono (5k1)

Chen Junqian received Zhu Wenyun's call after returning to the hotel that evening. Around the same time, Gu Lingguo, who had returned with him, also received a call invitation from her best friend. The two of them went to the balcony and the end of the corridor outside, respectively, and started answering their calls.

"How was your day? Did you have fun?"

It seemed like just a casual greeting, so Chen Junqian replied in the same ordinary way that he was very happy. Unexpectedly, the other party immediately brought up the matter of the live broadcast.

"Actually, I don't really care, but Xiaoxi seems a little angry. In her own words, it's like she was saying that you two weren't like this when you took her to the comic convention last time."

"Then I can only say that the two anime conventions were completely different in scale, and that was so long ago."

Chen Junqian was a little surprised that his younger sister had watched the whole live stream. He quickly recalled what he had done that day, and then glanced at the corridor outside the door. He suddenly became curious about what Gu Linguo's phone call was about.

"I don't know much about the relationship between the two of you, but I am indeed quite curious whether Junqian really likes that so-called, uh, anime/manga culture? It's not just the enjoyment of being an audience member, but a desire to replicate it in real life, like cosplay, but a bit more advanced than cosplay?"

As one of the people who actually acted in the 'short drama' with Chen Junqian, and combined with the information she got from Chen Xi today, Zhu Wenyun suddenly realized that the boy she liked seemed to be keeping a secret that she didn't know. It was like a puzzle that she thought she had finished had an extra piece suddenly appearing. She felt uneasy if she didn't find out the truth.
