The Face-Blind Peeping Tom at the Noble Academy

[Face-blind, earnest, spacey bottom x self-restrained, proper, homophobic top] I'm writing this next! If you're interested, please add it to your favorites O(∩_∩)O

In books, there is often a crowd of side characters serving as catalysts for the leads' romance.

Thanks to his love and devotion to stories about elite academies, Xin Xin was quickly chosen by the System.

System: Want to ship couples up close? Want to witness the dazzling finale of a story that got canceled halfway through?

Xin Xin: What are we waiting for? Let's go!

The System made him a character: an underling to one of the F4's lackeys. He had low status and was so far removed from the action that, in theory, he couldn't even get the latest gossip.

But! Xin Xin's 80K ultra-HD camera is at your service.

Whether it's a lovestruck (sunburned and flushed) face, the hint of bashfulness (annoyance) beneath slightly fluttering eyelashes, or the perfect kissing (cheek-kissing) angle, capture it! Capture it all!

If there's nothing, he'll make something up. If there's already something there, he'll pile on the special effects and juicy details.

Ship them! I want everyone shipping them hard!

With the System's background-character buff and perception-blocking buff, Xin Xin began living his school life however he pleased (running wild and wreaking havoc).

Until... the System finally finished its other tasks and came back to check on this poor little guy.

It watched as Xin Xin added layer upon layer of suggestive filters to the photos he'd taken that day, then wrote up a whole melodramatic story and posted it on the forum's 4K-level board.

System: [Wait! What are you doing?!] Chicken-screaming.jpg

Xin Xin, baffled: “Helping the leads get together.”

The System said wearily: [The bottom hasn't even enrolled yet...]

Xin Xin: !!!

[The new-character buff only lasts one month...]

Xin Xin was completely stunned. In a daze, he heard someone knock at the door.

There's a weirdo on the forum lately, taking pictures of the F4 every day. The shots do have a nice atmosphere, but is this person face-blind or something?

Yesterday Meng Chenyu was F1, but after changing clothes he turned into a delicate little flower?

The most ridiculous one was the “soulmates” scene where two Meng Chenyus gazed at each other with deep affection.

Even an idiot wouldn't put on an act like that.

The post gets updated every day. Gradually, people stop arguing with the idiot and start admiring his resolve and persistence, following it like a TV drama and a joke. Some even start asking for updates.

But then... the post is suddenly locked, and the same account opens a new thread.

The peeping Tom has changed targets. A delicate hand, soft as boneless, is covered in mottled red marks. The person in the photo seems nervous, their fingers gripping the bedsheet so tightly that it wrinkles.

Ooh, looks like he got caught.

Reader's note: The blurb plays up the joke on purpose. The actual story isn't this unhinged. Because Xingxing is face-blind, he counts as one of the “cold and aloof” types, so the contrast is maximum.
