I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

As he spoke, Gu Lingguo proudly showed Chen Junqian what was written on the note, then indicated that his performance was over and it was time for the other party to begin.

In response, Chen Junqian simply read aloud the contents of the note:

"I want Lin Guo to be the exclusive female lead in this romantic comedy I'm starring in."

"...Stop, stop, stop! This is definitely a confession, isn't it?"

"Is cross-server chat really that powerful? Now I understand why it's called a model opera."

"No more playing the wooden male lead in romantic comedies at this time!"

"That's because I had a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

Chen Junqian reached out and patted the head of the girl in front of him, who had high attack but low defense and flushed cheeks. It felt just as good as his sister's. Then he smiled at her.

"I promise you, because I also feel that if the two of us work together, we will be 100% compatible."

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

PS2: Because Kaguya-sama: Love Is War had a special episode, I went back and watched all three seasons of the anime again, and then I enriched the related plot of Lin Guo. There is still a lot of material that I can use. Kaguya-sama is a standard high-scoring romantic comedy, and the animation production is superb. So can you tell me if we can see the revised ending in the later episodes of the anime?

Chapter 18: The senior is someone who's happy to be called "Onii-chan" (5k5)

October 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday.

At a time when students are lamenting the end of their holidays so quickly and are being forced to frantically catch up on their homework, Gu Linguo, who had already finished all her assignments and completed all her pre- and post-study tasks, sneaked over to Chen Junqian's house early in the morning with practiced ease.

However, she didn't go straight to the other person's room. Instead, she stood in front of the mirror at the washbasin and examined her outfit.

Although it was called dressing up, it was actually just styling her hair in pigtails, which was different from her usual style, and then, under the pretext of altering clothes to make a cosplay outfit, she loosely put on the white shirt she got from Chen Junqian.

Having successfully implemented the 'Cross-Server Chat Replication Plan' the day before yesterday, Gu Lingguo plans to strike while the iron is hot today. If she were to give the plan a name, it would probably be the 'Sister Role-Playing Plan in Romantic Comedy'.

After silently reviewing her plan in her mind, Gu Lingguo suddenly felt that she was no longer fighting alone. At this moment, many younger sister characters appeared behind her. As one of the enduring classic character settings in romantic comedies, alongside the childhood friend, she was sure that the senior with certain chuunibyou symptoms who thought he was the male protagonist of a romantic comedy had never fantasized about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have coaxed and tricked Chen Xi, who was not from the two-dimensional world at all, into coming up to wake him up every day.

Thinking this, Gu Linguo gently pushed open Chen Junqian's door again. She didn't deliberately hold back like someone else before speaking, but instead, like a nimble kitten, she quietly climbed onto his bed.

The mattress, bearing the weight of both of them, sank slightly. Gu Linguo held her breath, carefully stepped over Chen Junqian's body, and finally adopted the most classic "riding awakening" posture in romantic comedies, kneeling on both sides of his waist and abdomen.

Because Chen Junqian's shirt was indeed quite large for her, as the girl bent down, the neckline naturally drooped slightly, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin and delicate collarbones, and even the style and color of the bra underneath could be vaguely seen.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Lingguo brought the two of them almost touching before speaking in a deliberately crafted new voice:

"Onii-chan."

The girl's voice sounded like it had been preserved in sugar, carrying a hint of languidness and stickiness as if she hadn't woken up yet, and her breath gently sprayed onto the boy's nose.

Chen Junqian's eyelashes trembled slightly.

As a seasoned master of pretending to be asleep, his biological clock had actually been awake long before Gu Lingguo came in. It was precisely because he didn't open his eyes or move that, before his sister arrived, another character pretending to be his sister entered the scene.

Seeing that he didn't react, Gu Lingguo smiled slyly, then stretched out her index finger and gently poked Chen Junqian's cheek, then slid it down to his Adam's apple, drawing circles.

"The sun's already high in the sky... If you don't get up and play with your little sister soon, I'm going to eat your brother up!"

As with the same pre-rehearsed segment, Gu Linguo's fingertip touched Chen Junqian's Adam's apple as he finished speaking the line, attempting to achieve a synergistic effect where one plus one equals more than two.

Chen Junqian finally opened his eyes.

However, he showed no panic or confusion, and his breathing remained perfectly steady. His dark eyes, which did not appear to have just woken up, calmly gazed at the girl hovering above him.

Although the two were less than ten centimeters apart.

"...Is today's character a younger sister type?"

Chen Junqian's tone was also quite indifferent.

Gu Linguo was stunned for a moment; this reaction was not right!

"Hey...brother, can't you see what's going on?"

Gu Linguo was getting a little impatient, and even her previously soft, girlish voice started to crack:

"I'm your little sister! The little sister who wears your shirt, rides on you, and wakes you up! Shouldn't your reaction as the older brother be blushing, flustered, and yelling something like 'Idiot, get off me!'?"

Chen Junqian blinked slowly, pulled his hand out from under the pillow, and rubbed his temples.

"It's probably because it's not the first time someone has woken me up like this."

As he spoke, his gaze slowly swept over Gu Lingguo's slightly open collar before calmly returning to her face.

"And your neckline is pulled up too deliberately. An unintentional glimpse is the most appealing, not like you, as if you want to write 'Look here!' on your collarbone. By the way, Lin Guo, with your current physique, you should be sitting at the kids' table in a romantic comedy."

"Brother H! Pervert! You lecher! You pervert! Die!"

It can only be said that as the female lead with the highest adaptability to romantic comedies as recognized by the system, even when faced with Chen Junqian's level of criticism, Gu Linguo was still able to perform the corresponding lines of the model opera with great dedication. However, just as Chen Junqian himself said, even if she crossed her arms and puffed out her chest, certain secondary sexual characteristics that were not yet mature would not appear against physiological common sense.

Chen Junqian was even certain that the current bulge was largely due to the bra. Don't ask, just know that he had actually taken detailed measurements of the girl's body.

"But it really feels like we're seeing less and less of these old-fashioned tsundere sisters these days. Come to think of it, I always felt that the tsundere characters used to have some violent elements. Now, this kind of character is really a bit outdated."

As Chen Junqian began earnestly analyzing the rise and fall of younger sister characters, Gu Linguo quickly switched to a softer, more gentle voice, even with a hint of a sob:

"Onii-chan, do you hate Junko now? You said when we were little that you loved your little sister the most and that you would stay with her forever."

As she spoke, she gently rubbed her cheek against Chen Junqian's chest, like a wronged little animal.

Then, Gu Linguo grabbed Chen Junqian's arm and secretly reached for the thin blanket beside her. She suddenly lifted the blanket and pretended to be pulled in by Chen Junqian, slipping into the blanket like a slippery fish.

"Don't tease me like this... I came to wake my brother up, boohoo."

Faced with Gu Linguo, who had clearly crawled in on her own but was acting as if he had been dragged in, Chen Junqian couldn't help but chuckle. Compared to him, the reborn person who was mistaken for a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, Gu Linguo was more like a chuunibyou of the right age, seemingly completely immersed in her own art and unable to extricate herself.

The bed was instantly filled with the scent of the girl's shower gel and shampoo. Her warm body pressed tightly against Chen Junqian's side, and Gu Lingguo's arms naturally wrapped around his waist. One of her legs was even draped over his leg in an extremely arrogant manner.

Narrow, claustrophobic, and warm—just like the wardrobe last time, this bed is also an extremely dangerous space.

However, Chen Junqian still had to say that he was not lacking in experience sleeping in bed with his sister. But just to cooperate with her hard work, he pretended to be a little nervous, deliberately breathing heavily and his heart was racing.

"Got you." Gu Lingguo cheered inwardly, but on the surface she still maintained that pitiful look, tilting her head up to look at Chen Junqian's chin in the dim light of the bed.

"Onii-chan, are you shy?"

"In this situation, it should be the younger sister who is shy."

Chen Junqian spoke again, his voice steady, even with a hint of lazy laughter. He then turned to the side, reached out a hand, and naturally put his arm around the other girl's shoulder, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Huh?"

Gu Lingguo didn't expect him to retaliate so decisively, and her face was forced to be buried in his chest, her nose filled with the boy's scent.

"Since you want to sleep, then go ahead and sleep. Anyway, it's a holiday today, and it's an essential part of romantic comedies for the younger sister and older brother to take a nap together."

Chen Junqian closed his eyes, his tone nonchalant:

"Although, Xiaoxi should be coming up soon."

Almost choked by Chen Junqian's words, Gu Lingguo hurriedly climbed out of bed, her previously tied-up hair now somewhat disheveled after the commotion.

"Ahem! Well... since Xiaoxi is coming soon, let's move on to the second part. Didn't you notice that I'm wearing your clothes today? Give me some reaction, give me some reaction, hey, this is my boyfriend's, no, I should say my brother's shirt."

As if to prove her words, or to avoid being criticized by Chen Junqian again, she even straightened her collar, but the oversized shirt still made her look exceptionally petite and charming.

Chen Junqian, who had just sat up in bed, rested his chin on his hand and looked at the other person. Sunlight shone on the girl's profile, making the fine downy hairs clearly visible. A hint of shyness could still be seen in her eyes, but Gu Linguo was still playing her role seriously.

To be honest, at this moment, Gu Linguo really does look like the female lead in a romantic comedy in real life.

However, the achievement "Boyfriend Shirt" had already been unlocked long ago. Chen Junqian remembered that the achievement's description included the line, "It's great if the clothes are too big and look loose, and it's also great if the clothes are too small and look tight. In short, they are both excellent and delicious." If Shen Nianqiu, who achieved this achievement for the first time, was undoubtedly the latter, then Gu Lingguo was the perfect embodiment of the former... No, considering that a certain childhood sweetheart might be able to show even more perfection, Chen Junqian quite carefully set aside his evaluation.

"But then again, there's a romantic comedy protagonist who said that his sister is the kind of person who wouldn't feel anything even if her underwear was placed in front of him."

"No, no, no, seeing underwear and wearing your brother's clothes are two different things."

Feeling that continuing to argue about this topic might lead to her good friend catching her red-handed, Gu Linguo quickly skipped the topic of her brother's shirt and continued to advance the plot:

"Breakfast is almost ready. If you don't get up soon, you'll be late. Honestly, you're so big and still so sloppy. I have to make your lunchbox every day. But at school, you're not allowed to say that I made your lunchbox, and you're not allowed to say that you're my brother, understand?"

Chen Junqian's lips twitched involuntarily at this sudden barrage of model opera moves:

"...Although, it still feels a bit like lines from a childhood sweetheart story."

"Because my younger sister is the ultimate childhood sweetheart, but I admit I can't cook, but neither can my older sister Lin Mu, so we're even. How about we act out childhood sweethearts next time? Even though both involve waking someone up, childhood sweethearts and younger sisters are different—"

Gu Lingguo, who naturally gets more and more excited when this topic comes up, seems to have completely forgotten about time. She even went back to bed, as if she was about to give another demonstration. However, a 'click' sound was heard immediately.

Then, Chen Junqian's room door was pushed open from the outside in a very natural way.

"rise,"

The girl's voice stopped abruptly after she saw what was inside.

After all, any normal girl would be stunned if she walked into her brother's bedroom early in the morning to wake him up, only to find him and her best friend, who was wearing her brother's shirt, in bed together, with the latter kneeling in front of him in a very ambiguous posture and wearing a smug smile on her face.

But a normal girl wouldn't go to her brother's bedroom every morning to wake him up, right?

"Um, actually I can explain."

Seeing that Gu Linguo, whose brain had shut down, was unreliable, Chen Junqian simply raised his hand himself.

"Actually, we are replicating the plot of a two-dimensional romantic comedy just like before. Today's part is a special feature on younger sister characters."

"...So my best friend is dressing up as me in my brother's room, is that right?"

"That seems like a valid interpretation."

Just as Chen Junqian was giving an awkward yet polite smile, Gu Linguo next to him put on a look of having figured it out, puffing out her chest with a straight face. If you ignored her loose men's shirt, she might look more like some kind of anime missionary.

"Xiao Xi! You've come at the perfect time!"

Gu Linguo walked up to Chen Xi in a few steps, and even deliberately tugged at the oversized shirt she was wearing, showing off the so-called selling point of the younger sister character.

"Look! This is what I want you to learn!"

"……what?"

As the younger sister who often receives comments from relatives such as "This child looks just like her brother, so mature," and who can still wake her brother up with a blank expression even after staring at his crotch, Chen Xi's expression management still faltered today, her eyes filled with loving concern for someone mentally challenged:

"What does Lin Guo want me to learn? How to trick my brother into wearing his clothes?"

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

Gu Lingguo simply held up one finger and shook it in front of Chen Xi, revealing a look of utter disappointment:

"Xiao Xi, I've always felt that as your younger sister, you have such a great set of advantages that so many female leads in romantic comedies envy, yet you don't know how to use them at all! It's such a waste."

She turned around, pointed at Chen Junqian who was still sitting on the bed, looking equally bewildered, and began to preach loudly:

"Look at my senior, even though he says things like 'real-life little sister is annoying,' 'I definitely prefer anime little sister,' and 'anime little sister and real-life little sister are completely different creatures,' what does he actually want? He still wants to be loved by his real-life little sister character, which is why he asks you to come and wake him up every day. Just now, I was wearing his shirt and riding on his back, calling him 'Onii-chan' a few times, and he became very happy. My senior is just that kind of person who says one thing but does another."
