They don't actually think I like them, do they?

They're all respectable people, why can't they get along peacefully?! At the very least, they shouldn't let it affect them personally!

The more Lin Han thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed, and the more he thought about it, the more his head felt like it was about to explode.

Just then, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.

and many more......

Since you're a creative person, why can't you create some works to "advise" them?

Let the girls know that this matter is not so complicated, and that there is another possibility besides pure love.

Simply writing a song might not have such an outstanding effect. Coincidentally, Lin Han had an idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and now, taking advantage of this situation, he decided to act on it ahead of time!

Lin Han opened the [Shop].

Fortunately, the product listings haven't been updated; they're the same as last time.

The "Writing Skills Card (Advanced): 100000" is prominently listed.

I originally wanted to save up one million Honkai Indexes to exchange for one hundred million in cash, but now the Honkai Indexes I get from writing songs are too limited, so I can only exchange them for some skill cards and do some side jobs in advance.

Lin Han clicked to purchase.

[Collapse Index: 384891 → 284891]

Lin Han guessed correctly; it was the same as the music skill card. When the notification appeared that the writing skill card had been equipped, all the literary works Lin Han had read in his past life memories were greatly enhanced.

For example, he had only read "Dream of the Red Chamber" once before, but now he can recite it from memory.

For example, he can still recite all the lines from all the action movies he's ever watched, even though most of them are just "ah~" or "um~".

This skill is great! Now I can watch movies in my mind anytime, anywhere. It's like Lin Han has developed another skill: the ability to adjust his emotions at any moment.

After assembling the skill cards, Lin Han quickly turned on his computer and created a TXT document.

Then, he wrote down the name of his first work—

How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

Lin Han is willing to call this work the culmination of the anime/manga genre. It may not be the best, but it is certainly the most representative of harem anime. Just like "Lovely Woman," it's not Jay Chou's best song, but for people who "hate love songs," it's the most disgusting one.

In this work, you can see the shadows of countless harem anime, such as the "blonde tsundere" and "black stockings upperclassman" settings, which are all classics.

But in this era, where everyone is still reading "Memoirs of a Veteran" and "Lu Xun's Drifting Life," it's incredibly ahead of its time.

Therefore, Lin Han was not sure if this work would become a hit, but if it did, its impact on the world's aesthetics would be extremely astonishing, possibly even surpassing that of love songs.

Thanks to the [Writing Skill Card], Lin Han wrote 16,000 words in just two hours, his keyboard practically smoking from typing. He also had to thank the [Piano Skill Card] for providing finger strength and hand speed.

With such incredible typing speed, Lin Han originally planned to start writing after fulfilling the betting agreement, but now he suddenly feels that being a musician while also working as a writer isn't so difficult after all.

After finishing the opening, Lin Han glanced at the moonlight outside the window, lay back in his chair, and yawned.

That's all for now. It's getting late, and I have to catch a flight tomorrow.

Let Mangzi take a look at this opening before we comment.

......

The next day, Jinchuan Third-rate Airport.

The last time I came here was during my trip to Hokkaido in April, but now the scorching sun in August is almost deadly.

Lin Han rubbed his dark circles and lazily dragged his suitcase off the bus.

"Lin Han!"

The moment Lin Han saw Mangzi, he straightened his back and his eyes widened.

Today, Mangzi is wearing a super cool summer dress, revealing her beautiful collarbones and shoulders, and her two slender white legs look delicate and fragile.

Ah, just like her.

However, unlike usual, Mangzi did not tie her hair into braids today, but instead let her two yellow pigtails flutter in the wind.

For a moment, he even resembled a certain anime character.

Mangzi placed her hands on the front of her skirt, revealing a shy smile, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Lin Han walked up to Mangzi and placed his hand on her head.

"Listen to me, braid your hair."

"Why??"

......

On the plane, the two chose the cost-effective economy class as always. Mangzi sat by the window, happily humming the tune of "Rice Fragrance" while playing on her phone. When she's in a good mood, she's actually quite normal.

It seems that last night's events did not dampen Mangzi's spirits, which relieved Lin Han.

"Lin Han."

Mangzi suddenly put down her phone and tilted her head to look at him.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you say you'd explain what happened last night? Can you tell me now?"

"Uh." Lin Han scratched his head. "Sigh!"

Thinking of this, Lin Han's face turned red, and his desire to perish together with the system that assigned him the cross-dressing task grew stronger.

Lin Han sent a message to Yan Yuli as soon as he got up this morning.

After several tugs of the gun and the girl's hesitant tone, Lin Han finally understood what was going on.

She actually thought she was gay!

Whose problem is it?

First, we can rule out ourselves, and then it can't be Miss Yan Yuli, right?

Clearly, this is Xu Hui's fault!

To ease Yan Yuli's embarrassment, Lin Han used the most direct method: he gave Xu Hui a good scolding, telling him to behave himself in the future, and then sent a screenshot to Yan Yuli.

131. How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

Xu Hui, bewildered by the insults, was just about to unleash his fury and show Lin Han what a true online writer was. Soon, Lin Han told him...

“Even though your mother is gone, this is making Yuli take the blame. If you don’t acknowledge it, she’ll be stuck with this for the rest of her life.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui finally gritted his teeth in great pain and accepted it!

"Thank you, Brother Hui," Lin Han said gratefully. "Now she won't feel ashamed for kissing me anymore, and you, my friend, you are a true hero!"

"Lin Han, I'll fuck you!!!"

"..."

With Xu Hui's polite greetings, the matter was finally put to rest in Yan Yuli's hands, at least on the surface.

However, both of them tacitly chose to remain silent about their feelings during the kiss and why Lin Han cooperated so readily.

Lin Han briefly recounted the matter to Mangzi, omitting many details, but conveying the main point.

"What kind of novel plot is this?"

Mangzi glanced at Lin Han with disdain, his face full of disgust.

"So, in order to make you realize your mistake, Yan Yuli is going to kiss you? What kind of lewd nonsense is in that woman's head? Is she doing this on purpose?"

Lin Han scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know either, but we all agree that it's my classmate Xu Hui's problem. He just looks gay, and there's no girl around him!"

Now that the blame has already been shifted, Lin Han decided to make it as thorough as possible.

After hearing Lin Han's explanation, Mangzi, though still chattering on and on, finally felt relieved.

When Mangzi saw Yan Yuli at Lin Han's house and even said she'd kissed him, she truly lost her composure. She had originally thought that Lin Han and Yan Yuli's relationship had progressed to the point of "being lovers in name only"!

Now that I realize it, they're both pretty much the same; Lin Han is still that unpredictable virgin. With this psychological gap, Mangzi doesn't find the whole thing so unbearable anymore.

"I do have a vague recollection of your friend named Xu Hui."

Mangzi thought for a moment, "Was it the one sitting next to you at the talent show? He even said he was my fan."

"Yes, that's him."

"That's strange. Isn't he pretty good-looking? He's fair-skinned and tall. Surely no girls want to hang out with him?" As a campus idol who went off to sing halfway through her studies, Mangzi was particularly interested in this kind of campus gossip.

"Uh, well, it's hard to say. Some people are just like that—insecure and pessimistic. Whenever they confide in you, all their topics are negative. They're also a bit crazy among the guys. Would you like to hang out with someone like that?"

"Oh, he's quite pitiful."

"What, are you going to introduce him to a woman?"

"Everyone in our group is single. Isn't he a fan of our group?"

"Forget it, he's not good enough for me."

"really."

"Why don't you give me a rebuttal?" Lin Han couldn't help but complain.

Mangzi has a kind heart, but not much.

Before we knew it, the topic had drifted off course.

Lin Han took out his laptop from his bag and placed it on his lap.

"Why are you taking this on your trip?" Mangzi asked, her bright eyes wide.

“I can create anytime, anywhere,” Lin Han said. “Speaking of novels, I have something to show you.”

When did you first bring it up?

"Recall it yourself!"

Lin Han placed the computer in front of Mangzi. "The novel I wrote is just the beginning. Can you take a look and give me your feedback?"

"You can write novels?!"

Mangzi's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed an excited expression as she took the computer. She really wanted to see what kind of novel a musical poet like Lin Han would produce.

On the screen, a line of bold text catches the eye—"The Daily Life of Raising a Boring Girlfriend".

“I recognize every single word here, but why don’t I recognize them when they’re put together?” Mangzi asked, puzzled.

"This is a light novel."

What is a light novel?

"Well, you can think of it as fantasy novels for otaku. It's normal that you don't know about it; this genre is just starting out online."

Why does it sound so strange?

In fact, Mangzi considers herself to have read quite a few online novels. For a period of time, she particularly enjoyed reading the currently popular war-themed online novels, finding them very immersive.

Mangzi often corrects the author's mistakes in firearms knowledge and combat common sense in the comments section, although he is often called a keyboard warrior by other readers.

The title "Lin Han" seems to have nothing to do with war, no matter how you look at it.

"Let me guess, could she have been an ordinary girl picked up on the street, taken in and trained by the army, and eventually became a legendary mercenary?"

"The one you're talking about is called Violet."

In fact, because the pace of "Passerby" was too slow, many highlights were not so prominent at the beginning. Lin Han did not copy it completely, but made some minor modifications based on his own understanding, and used a more popular and easy-to-understand approach in terms of narrative structure and details.

Therefore, Lin Han believed that as long as people looked carefully, they would be able to fully understand it.

He could no longer bear it and pressed down on Mangzi's fragrant shoulder.

"Look!!"

Mangzi finally pouted and began to read, looking rather dejected.

This book tells the story of Aki Tomoya, a hardcore otaku, who decides to create a bishoujo game after encountering a beautiful girl on the street.

After reading less than two thousand words, Mangzi sensed something was wrong.

"Just because he saw a beautiful woman on the street, he wants to go back and make a game about a beautiful woman? This protagonist is too perverted!" Mangzi couldn't help but say.

"You don't understand, this is a dream."

"A protagonist whose dream is to create a game featuring beautiful women—this is the most low-class and perverted novel protagonist I've ever seen."

Lin Han was speechless.
