I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

Although she nodded in agreement, Xu Youwei stood there, her face still flushed from running, but her eyes were bright and sparkling. The fatigue from the exercise did not diminish her spirit; on the contrary, it made her cheerfulness and efficiency even more vibrant.

Knowing the cat's temperament perfectly, Chen Junqian simply reached out and led her to the shady side of the trees.

But after a short rest, there was soon another 1,500-meter race. It was hard to find anyone to sign up for this kind of long-distance race at the annual sports meet, but Xu Youwei signed up every year. In her words, it had probably become a habit, and aside from anything else, it was actually quite good for building relationships.

However, it turns out that not everyone has superhuman physical abilities like Chen Junqian. The main reason is that the three of them really went all out last night, and Xu Youwei hardly slept at all afterward. So, although she is currently in a state of high spirits, she is indeed a little out of shape physically.

The moment she crossed the finish line, the immense inertia made it impossible for Xu Youwei to stop immediately. The dizziness and lack of oxygen after the extreme sprint of the middle-distance running surged in like a tide. Her legs felt weak and sore as if they were filled with lead, and she fell forward.

However, Chen Junqian, who was already waiting in the buffer zone, stepped forward, naturally and precisely opened his arms, and steadily supported her arms, dissipating most of the force from her forward-moving body.

Xu Youwei was half-hanging on Chen Junqian's arm, breathing heavily and rapidly. Her breaths were hot and heavy, and her fair cheeks were flushed with an unnaturally hot blush from the intense exercise, like a peach blossom in full bloom. This made Chen Junqian hallucinate the scene from last night again.

She didn't stand up straight immediately, but instead rested her forehead on Chen Junqian's shoulder somewhat coquettishly, silently venting her exhaustion after the extreme sprint:

"Ugh... I'm so tired... Qinqin, my legs are going to break..." This sounds even more like last night.

However, facing this girl who was so arrogant and fierce on the track just now, but who instantly lost all her sharpness the moment she crossed the finish line, revealing a clingy and coquettish side, Chen Junqian didn't have any complaints at all. He let her hang on him, while he steadily supported her arm with one hand, leading her to walk slowly in the buffer zone to help her catch her breath.

However, what he didn't notice was that their interaction had turned a girl who was following behind him into a gray stone statue once again.

apostasy!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Breasts!

"They look like their dreams have been shattered."

"...I haven't even asked you why you were following me yet. Oh well, never mind."

Seeing Gu Lingguo sit back down next to her with a defeated look on her face, Chen Xi recalled a time when Gu Lingguo kept saying she wanted to be her brother's sister. At that time, Chen Xi had seriously said that as long as she made great contributions, she could be granted the imperial surname. And if the contribution was even greater, her name could be changed at the same time. She even thoughtfully provided several common name options, such as Guozhong, Xianzhong, Quanzhong, Zhongxian, etc.

The other person definitely started liking my brother much earlier than I did.

Perhaps, as Zhu Wenyun wrote in her new book, there are children in this world who might fall in love with someone because of a trivial matter or detail that no one else would care about. Or perhaps that event was just an opportunity to get to know the other person. After getting to know each other better, they might one day, in order to highlight the weight and longevity of their feelings, openly say that they had already fallen in love with each other on that very day.

"If I had known, I would have signed up for a track and field event. Then I would have had the senior stand at the finish line to support me, and then I would have just dove over and fallen into his arms, achieving a perfect dribbling and charging man."

As a girl who firmly believes that her body shape will be out of character when she cosplays Yukino Yukinoshita and Eriri Sawamura, Gu Lingguo is very proud of her appearance. She thinks she should be on par with Xu Youwei, who just did a tumble. Unlike the average otaku, she is also quite active outdoors. After all, she doesn't believe in the saying that cosplayers don't criticize their looks. When cosplaying a character, one should always respect their appearance. Therefore, she has always been mindful of managing her figure.

"Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river... No, that's right, Lin Guo should still have a chance."

Before she could subconsciously think of complaining that her brother had probably been run over by an even bigger ball, Chen Xi suddenly remembered that her brother had come home late last night and had ridden his bike to take Lin Mu and Xu Youwei home together. In other words, the two Canghai classmates weren't around, or rather, compared to her childhood sweetheart, her best friend should indeed be Canghai, and that one should be considered as taking Xiao Mantou to hit someone.

From this perspective, it seems that the older brother did not show any particularly clear preference. Considering that the first person the other person dated was a certain ex-girlfriend, maybe his favorite is really Lin Guo.

Just moments ago, Gu Lingguo had been puffing out her chest, but after Chen Xi inexplicably glanced at her twice, she felt a little awkward and quickly leaned back slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Look, it seems my brother has already settled Xu Youwei in. Is Lin Guo going to go and dribble the ball and charge at someone now?"

"There are a lot of people around here."

"There were quite a few people around when Xu Youwei bumped into her just now."

"They were exhausted after crossing the finish line, at least that's their excuse. I can't just run over and crash into them, can I? That move isn't as simple as Xiaoxi thinks. One wrong move and you'll be outmaneuvered by the ball."

To her best friend, who was speaking so confidently but was actually incredibly naive, Chen Xi simply used the simplest, most direct, and straightforward approach to ask:

"So what is the meaning or purpose of this plot? What is Lin Guo's reason for doing this? Does she really want to replicate this interaction in reality? Or does she simply want to have intimate physical contact with her brother? If that's the case, she might as well just pull him aside and talk to him privately."

In fact, Chen Xi used to think this way too. For example, she thought it would be easier to get close to her brother in winter than in summer because the thickness of the blankets was different, and the sleeping posture of her brother would be different. She could easily use the excuse that she was also sleepy and cold to sneak in. But now, she realized that this was just an excuse. So she asked Gu Lingguo.

"You two are the ones who usually play those games together, so there's no need to act so innocent right now. And Lin Guo doesn't need to worry about what her brother will do. He's not a block of wood. If we're being honest, he's definitely your senior in that regard."

Perhaps out of a sense of disappointment, the younger sister, who usually occupied the top information position, decisively shared her perspective. This made Gu Linguo feel less hesitant. After all, thinking about it carefully, the boldest interaction she had ever had with Chen Junqian was that one kiss, and she hadn't even repeated it since.

It's been almost a year already!

"Yes, Xiaoxi is right."

There was a sense that her eyes flashed with unwavering determination for a moment, but Chen Xi nodded with considerable relief. Unlike Xu Youwei and Lin Mu, who were sharing their progress, she herself hadn't actually taken the initiative to get intimate with Chen Junqian. However, she knew that it was something she could take at any time. It was just that the look and questions her best friend had given her at the beginning of the year still left a mark. So, at least in this matter, her sister was willing to give her friend the most sincere blessings and encouragement.

My brother should be like Yao and Shun!

Hmm, I feel like that sentence is a bit of a misinterpretation, but Gu Lingguo has already gotten up and left again. This time, Chen Xi didn't play the stalking game again, but sat there alone and reconsidered her thoughts after hearing what had just been said.

She could understand why, when it came to this matter, Gu Lingguo would shrink back into her two-dimensional world as before. Just like in "My Sister's Life," which she had just finished watching with her brother in September, there was no description of this kind of plot. Twenty-six, twenty-seven, thirty years old, and then in the blink of an eye, she was eighty-seven years old, reaching the end of her life.

The brother and sister in the book only need to say to each other, "Can you give up everything important except me?" and "Something important except brother? Does such a thing exist?" for the reader to feel their relationship through the words. But what happens after that?

If I were to have such a conversation with my brother someday, I'd probably add "Prove it to me" the next second and then pounce on him. After all, words or sweet talk are just foreplay. Whether you're a boy or a girl, once you reach this age, you become a hormone monster that's not satisfied with just a few sweet words.

Ultimately, every morning, Uncle Chen and his sister would go together to wake their brother up.

He's dribbling the ball... and he's charging at someone.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. The radio station switched to soft pop music. After the loud symphony and whistle disappeared, the entire playground was immersed in a kind of sluggishness and laziness unique to the afternoon. The air was filled with the fragrance of camphor leaves being dried in the sun, as well as the aroma of food wafting from the direction of the canteen.

Students either go to the nearest cafeteria for lunch or leave the school to go home. Compared to the usual lunch break, since they don't have to save those three or five minutes to rush to take a nap, the students are all lazy and chatting and laughing as they walk home, discussing the morning's sports meet.

According to the schedule of his childhood sweetheart and younger sister, he should have gone home with his sister today. However, when Chen Junqian rode his bicycle to the alley where he usually met his sister at the school gate, he found that Gu Linguo was the one waiting for him.

"senior--"

As Gu Lingguo waved to him, she naturally raised her hands and untied her slightly loose bun. She bit the black hair tie between her lips, and her long, black hair fell down, cascading over her shoulders in the afternoon sunlight.

The girl tilted her head back slightly, tossed her hair like a cat, then raised her slender arms and tied her long hair up in a high ponytail.

As she raised her arms, she deliberately straightened her chest and tightened her waist and abdomen, trying to show off her slender waistline and delicate yet beautiful shoulder and neck lines.

Just like the tongue-out gesture that she had practiced countless times in front of the mirror, this routine of standing up straight, holding her hair tie, and tying her hair up is also a carefully selected action of an anime girl. After using this as an opening, she ran over in small steps, stood next to her, raised her hand, and smoothed a strand of wet hair that was stuck to her temple.

As we all know, due to the inherent requirements of the animation genre, as long as the budget isn't too tight, most of the female protagonists appearing on screen can't just stand still. It's like they have to suddenly turn around and then lean in for a smooth little combo while walking. They have to learn to confidently display their charm in front of the male protagonist and the audience. Gu Lingguo used to think that doing this whole thing in real life would be more like a hyperactive episode or being overly flirtatious, but now she doesn't care anymore. She'll just keep doing the combos.

"What's Lin Guo doing here?"

"Ah, because Xiaoxi went to the convenience store, she asked me to tell you to wait a moment. And if it's convenient, could you take me back at noon? I heard from her that your bicycle can seat two people."

Because it was the sports meet today, Gu Linguo refused her mother's offer to pick her up from school every day, saying that the class would eat in the cafeteria.

"Yes, of course, but you'll have to squeeze in a bit."

"It's alright."

As she spoke, Gu Lingguo seemed to suddenly feel the heat. She gently raised her left hand, pinched the slightly wide collar of her athletic short-sleeved shirt, and pulled it out a little, fanning herself. This action made the girl's fair and slender collarbone appear and disappear in the sunlight. Because she had just done some last-minute exercise before coming, there was still a thin layer of sweat on her slender neck and the hollow of her collarbone. In the interplay of light and shadow, she revealed a touch of the girl's unique tenderness and beauty.

However, Chen Junqian seemed completely oblivious to all of this. He parked his bicycle to the side, looked up in the direction of the convenience store, and appeared to be waiting for Chen Xi to return.

Gu Lingguo bit her lower lip, feeling a little unwilling, and decided to try again. She immediately walked over to Chen Junqian and sat down on the stone steps half a meter away. She sat with her legs together and turned to one side, in a posture that would make a female e-sports host report her if she sat like that ten years later. Her long, straight legs extended along the stone steps, outlining a smooth and beautiful leg line.

Then, she took out a pink dry towel from her pocket and, imitating Xu Youwei after crossing the finish line that morning, or rather, the mannerisms of countless anime sports girls, slightly raised her chin, tilted her head to one side, and instantly drew an elegant curve in her long, fair neck. Holding the towel, she gently slid it from behind her ear across her neck, wiping all the way to her delicate collarbone.

The girl wiped her sweat slowly and rhythmically, even squinting her eyes slightly. Her long eyelashes trembled gently in the sunlight, and she exhaled softly, as if relieving the heat in her body. After this action, Gu Lingguo picked up the bottle of chilled sports drink.

Click.

The sound of the cap being unscrewed was exceptionally clear under the quiet shade of the trees. Completely immersed in her role, Gu Lingguo took a deep breath, straightened her back slightly, her chest rising and falling with her breath, tilted her head back slightly to expose her long neck to the wind, then brought the bottle to her lips and raised the bottom of the bottle—

Glug, glug.

With a certain boldness yet a touch of allure, Chen Junqian turned his head and saw the other person swallowing water in large gulps. The cool liquid slid down her throat, and the girl's delicate throat undulated slightly. A clear drop of water slid down the corner of her tender lips, slowly dripping down her chin and onto the collarbone below her collarbone, leaving a small wet patch.

When Chen Junqian's gaze actually shifted to her face, Gu Linguo suddenly became a little flustered. She had been drinking water rather quickly, and instinctively choked. Chen Junqian quickly reached out and patted her back to help ease the discomfort.

"Are you alright? Don't drink water too quickly. What were you doing just now, Lin Guo? You're all sweaty. I don't remember you signing up for any projects, right?"

"That project, cough cough, is not fun at all, cough cough."

As if Chen Junqian's action had suddenly triggered some pent-up resentment, Gu Lingguo coughed and complained, then wiped her mouth, her actions carrying a sense of recklessness, but because of her deceptively pretty face and slightly reddened eyes, it also created a breathtaking charm.

"What do you mean by back-to-back dribbling... I want face-to-face games."

The other child had already snuggled up to her like a snake following a crook, even rubbing against her a couple of times, before tilting her little face up and continuing to ask:

"Can you feel it, senior?"

"what?"

“X…oppai”

Chapter Thirty-Six: One Step at a Time

Just like in 2026, when a man sees his name appearing widely in the comments section and bullet screen, he will surely recall the night twenty years ago when his parents named him Feng Fu. Whether it was due to the emergence of censored words or the existence of some kind of shame culture is no longer important. After all, every year new words are invented to refer to certain mysterious organs or immediate family members that people can't or can't say out loud. In this respect, Gu Linguo is actually doing the same thing right now.

Whether it's "teng de lei" or "yi mo duo," or even "ou pai" and "pang ci," these transliterated words named "song er" are indeed a rather interesting branch of the domestic ACG subculture. When he watched the April anime "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto" with Gu Linguo this year, there were also a barrage of comments saying "Poor you can't be as handsome as Sakamoto" at the end of the theme song. However, compared to this kind of "song er" that would make any casual listener think they were a level 10 Chinese speaker, the latter kind of clear reference that is highly related to the meaning of the words is more like slang within a small circle.

At least a long time ago, Chen Junqian had the idea of ​​tricking Zhu Wenyun into having some mysterious little conversations to trigger an achievement. He even found a real-world reference to it, a mysterious electric car brand called Oupai. Unexpectedly, a few years later, a girl actually used the word in its original meaning when talking to him.

However, it must be said that, just like the childhood friend who bluntly used "breasts" to criticize her figure yesterday, the anime girl who is shyly using Japanese words to refer to her today also seems adorable. Gu Linguo, who has rich theoretical experience but zero practical experience, is clearly always criticizing who in Muli has the most over-the-top voice acting for H scenes, but when she goes on stage herself, she is no better. Chen Junqian actually suggests that she learn from his own cat.

"Hmm, it's so close together, of course you'll feel something. So why is Lin Guo suddenly so concerned about this kind of thing? Has she suddenly grown up recently? Then we'll have to take her measurements again next time we make a cosplay outfit."

Being held so close by Gu Lingguo, Chen Junqian was reminded of the same hugging position he had been given by his childhood sweetheart last night, but from an even lower angle. Is it true that the more slender a girl is, the more she likes this kind of hugging position? But this could also be someone's personal fetish, after all, Lin Mu was also the female protagonist who triggered the achievement called "I want a mom this tall".

"I don't know...maybe a little bit, whew whew—I'm so nervous."

Hey, hey, hey, where did this innocent-looking character come from? Don't perfectly inherit the high-attack, low-imitation attributes into reality. And your arm doesn't seem to be relaxing at all.

Seeing that his younger sister hadn't arrived yet, Chen Junqian guessed that this was a trap set by the two of them. So he focused on staring at the girl in front of him. The girl's face did indeed show the nervous expression she had described. It proved that even without an artist drawing blush and red lines, the changes in the expression of a truly shy girl at this distance could still be clearly observed.

"Are you nervous already? I thought Lin Guo would do something like washing her face or something."

In response to Chen Junqian's joke, Gu Lingguo simply turned her head away, her gaze drifting towards the wall at the end of the alley, her toes unconsciously kicking the ground, before suddenly speaking:

"Then kiss me first."

Don't ask why there's been absolutely no progress since I confessed at the beginning of the year. It's because most romantic comedies end after the confession. As for Gala Gemu, after the male and female leads confess, they move on to their individual routes, and then there's a barrage of all sorts of H scenes. Can't we at least do something more gradual, something that's appropriate for teenagers of this age?

It was probably with this thought in mind that he hesitated all the way to today. As for Chen Junqian himself, he certainly had something to say. After all, 2016 was the busiest year he had ever had since his rebirth. If he didn't take the initiative with Gu Linguo again, Shen Nianqiu and Zhu Wenyun wouldn't wait for him.

"Ah."

Just as Gu Linguo had predicted, Chen Junqian had indeed grown into a man who could give her a good reason to say, "Why are you so skilled at kissing?" But at the same time, she could also find other equally good reasons to comfort herself.

You might not know this, but in our local area, these personal routes that can only be unlocked after you've conquered all the other female characters are generally called True Heroines and Te (Trueend).

Can anyone else do it?

Of course, in fact, after Chen Junqian's lips actually covered hers, Gu Linguo's mind went completely blank. She could only passively follow his rhythm. If her best friend was unable to resist her brother's head pats, then she felt that from this moment on, she would become addicted to kissing. No other description or words could describe the feeling at this moment. Even the concepts of the world and time seemed to become nothingness.

"Although the lunch break is indeed very long today, you two can't just keep kissing here forever."

Chen Xi, who had ostensibly gone to the convenience store but was actually hiding nearby, felt her legs were almost numb from squatting and finally showed up to call for a stop. Only then did Gu Lingguo reluctantly let go, and then, as if not satisfied, she pecked Chen Junqian's cheek and nose several more times before turning back with a grin.
