I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 107 The Girl with Contrasting Glasses

Chen Yan had noticed early on that Shu He had a certain inferiority complex.

In fact, many people are in this situation... After all, the vast majority of people are ordinary, without a wealthy family background, outstanding appearance, or any particularly outstanding abilities.

In this situation, apart from a few people with a particularly strong sense of self, it is difficult for others to be confident and to muster the courage to pursue what they want.

The life trajectory of the vast majority of such people is to attend a mediocre university, work for a mediocre company, enter the marriage hall through blind date, and then often not be very happy in the marriage. The happiest time of the day is the ten minutes they sit in their car after getting off work.

In interpersonal interactions, when faced with praise from others, these types of people often choose to deny it immediately.

In this environment, unless you are exceptionally outstanding, if you deny yourself, you can't expect others to recognize you.

Of course, when someone is so outstanding that their talent cannot be concealed, they are unlikely to feel inferior.

However, given Shu He's strong "basic configuration," it's quite puzzling that she's still so self-conscious.

……

Soon, Chen Yan arrived at an eyeglasses store located on the second floor of Wanning Mall.

Chen Yan brought Shu He here not only to get her glasses, but also because he himself was thinking about getting a pair... Although he wasn't nearsighted, sometimes a good pair of glasses can really enhance one's appearance.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to help Shuhe choose some good glasses, since those long and narrow ones are really too ugly...

Shuhe's original hairstyle was also quite outdated, which made the glasses less conspicuous. Now that she's changed her hairstyle, the glasses look like a rat dropping in porridge.

When it comes to choosing glasses, Chen Yan didn't give Shu He much choice.

Based on his understanding of Shu He's personality, she wasn't the type to be very independent. Having someone make decisions for her at crucial moments would actually make her feel more at ease.

Of course, this is all on the premise that it's not a bad thing...

As for the other reason, it's that Chen Yan doesn't trust Shu He's aesthetic sense... Anyone with even a slightly better aesthetic sense wouldn't have such a terrible hairstyle and outfit given such a strong "basic configuration".

When it comes to aesthetics, Chen Yan is absolutely impeccable; he quickly found a pair of large, square-framed black glasses for her.

"Here, try these on." Chen Yan handed the glasses to Shu He.

"Will this look good?" Shu He hesitated for a moment, then took off her original glasses and put on these large, round, black-framed glasses. She looked at Chen Yan, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation, "Does it... look good?"

Chen Yan did not answer immediately, but instead carefully admired Shu He.

It has to be said that his aesthetic sense is absolutely on point; these glasses are a perfect match for Shu He.

Shu He's eyes were already quite large, and those flat glasses always looked out of place on her. Now, with these large-framed glasses, not only has the beauty of her eyes been fully brought out, but they have also visually enhanced her face shape.

Not only that, her cheeks were already slightly flushed, and the flat glasses that used to make her look plain would have created a clever "chemical reaction" with the large-framed glasses, adding a touch of allure.

Alluring, gentle and serene... these two seemingly contradictory qualities appear in a clever proportion on Shu He, bringing a strange sense of contrast.

'Everyone says that girls with glasses have a strong contrast in personality, and I've seen it for myself today.' A picture suddenly flashed through Chen Yan's mind. ...

Chen Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

……

"It looks great." Chen Yan never hesitated to praise others, and casually put his arm around Shu He's shoulder, pushing her to the mirror. "See for yourself."

The moment Chen Yan placed his hands on her shoulders, Shu He felt as if she had been electrocuted; the tingling sensation quickly spread throughout her body from where they were in contact.

'He probably just didn't mean it.' Shu He pursed her lips, obediently walked to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and then...

She found herself unable to accept her former self anymore...

After cutting off that "level 3" hairstyle and changing those old-fashioned glasses, Shu He looked at herself now and instinctively didn't want to go back to the past.

"Then we'll take these. Go over there and get your prescription checked." Chen Yan released his hands and called out to a female staff member on the other side:
"Hello, ma'am, could you please take her to have her eyesight checked?"

"Hey, no need, my prescription shouldn't have increased, right?" Shu He shook her head, instinctively wanting to refuse.

Chen Yan didn't say much, but simply asked, "When was the last time you took your measurement?"

"Probably in the second year of high school."

"It's best to get your eyes checked once or twice a year." Chen Yan patted Shu He on the shoulder. "Go get it checked. It's a perk from the boss, so just take it. If all else fails, just be more careful when taking photos."

"it is good."

While Shu He went with the employees to get her eyesight checked, Chen Yan wasn't idle either; he started looking for his own glasses.

His goal was clear: from the very beginning, he headed towards the area with the gold-rimmed glasses.

He bought glasses to match his slicked-back hairstyle, to add a touch of maturity, and gold-rimmed glasses were definitely one of the best options.

After sweeping his hair back and using the [Hairstyle Modification] skill to fix it, Chen Yan asked the staff to bring him a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, and then looked in the mirror.

After using the beauty cream, Chen Yan is already a handsome guy. Even with a big bowl cut hairstyle, he doesn't look bad. Now, with a slicked-back hairstyle, he's still a handsome guy.

However, after changing his hairstyle and glasses, Chen Yan's temperament also changed quite a bit... Just a second ago he was a spirited young man, but now he has become a mature and steady business elite.

Especially when he laughs, his refined yet roguish charm reaches its peak.

If there's anything to criticize, it's his hoodie and sweatpants outfit. If he had worn a suit and trousers instead, it would have definitely enhanced his overall look.

"This one will do." Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction, and waited to pay for it along with Shu He's.
