I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

"It would be even better if Yin Qinqin could offer his blessings."

"If Youyou think this kind of mystical method can help with your mood, how about this?"

As he spoke, Chen Junqian led Xu Youwei around to the shelves near the cashier, where some small red rope pendants, pendants, or charms were hanging. They were simple in design and printed with auspicious phrases such as "May you pass the imperial examination" or "May you pass every exam" to bring good luck. They could be hung on pens or pasted on pencil cases and brought into the venue through inspection.

"Is Qinqin going to give me a present?"

"If you like, I can go back and make one for you. It's not difficult anyway."

Because the new house has the sewing tools that Gu Lingguo usually uses for making cosplay costumes, and with his own skills, he can easily make several of these little things.

"Okay, I'll have Qinqin, this academic superstar, protect me."

Clearly, Xu Youwei wasn't the type of girl who would ask questions like, "Is this just for me, or do all the other girls get one?" After receiving Chen Junqian's promise, she was already overjoyed. Looking at the bright and festive red items on the display shelf, she felt as if a cat had sneaked into a honey pot, making her feel incredibly sweet.

"Then I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After accompanying Xu Youwei to buy stationery, Chen Junqian went straight back to his new house. On the way, he made a phone call to Gu Linguo to ask where the other party's materials were. As soon as he arrived at his destination, Gu Linguo also arrived, seemingly wanting to see for herself what he was asking for.

"If you can't do it, brother, I can help you. I'm a professional in this area."

"Thanks, but since it's a gift I'm giving away, it's better to make it myself."

Soon, Chen Junqian proved the source of his confidence to Gu Linguo. The slender red thread flew between his fingertips and soon formed a Chinese knot. Each thread intertwined to create a perfect geometric beauty, and the center was perfectly sealed.

That wasn't all. Next, he planned to personally embroider the seven characters "Wishing Youyou success in the imperial examination" on a piece of red silk about the size of a thumb.

"My brother seems to have more skillful hands than girls. Did he learn cross-stitch before?"

"I guess so, but this is definitely the first time I've done this kind of delicate work."

With a smile, Chen Junqian answered Gu Linguo and picked up the sewing needle again. Suddenly, he felt a sense of déjà vu, as if the scene before him was also very familiar. Before he could react, along with Gu Linguo's unfinished words of concern, "Then brother should be careful...", the needle tip pierced his fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood instantly welled up.

really.

When it comes to hand-sewing or making gifts for someone, getting a minor injury is an inevitable part of romantic comedies. However, from the male protagonist's perspective, he should usually notice the subtle wound that the woman is trying to hide when he gives the gift the next day, and then grab her hand and start feeling sorry for her. But now it's him who gets injured...

However, could we use this mechanism to create a scenario where Mu Mu can fulfill her wish?

As Chen Junqian's mind was bursting with inspiration, he quickly moved his finger away, afraid that the drop of blood would stain the Chinese knot he had painstakingly woven. Before he could do anything else, the female lead in front of him, who was more knowledgeable about romantic comedies, had already reacted with a bright look in her eyes.

The next instant, he felt his fingertips enveloped by a moist, warm, and soft touch. The girl's lips gently took in the front half of his index finger, while her tongue sucked urgently, as if trying to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible and clean the wound.

Or perhaps she was simply licking it.

PS2: It is known that three female protagonists appeared in this chapter, and two of them successfully utilized the divine will mechanism. So who did not?

Chapter 101: Please (Part 2)

As it turns out, Gu Lingguo was not only the first to seize an opportunity to strike, but also a master of the art of the wicked accusing the guilty first. Just before Chen Junqian was about to speak with a slight frown and pull his finger away, she released his mouth first, then smoothly adopted a look of 'I really can't do anything with you':

"Hehehehe—actually, I already guessed it when I saw my senior say he was going to sew something, but it really hurts to actually prick yourself, right? If you really want a girl to suck her fingers like this, you can just tell me, there's no need to prick your hand like this. How is it? Has the bleeding stopped properly?"

"Or should I say 'I'll fly away in agony' again?"

It has to be said that Gu Linguo truly showed the skills of a veteran actress in her performance of being cute. After all, what she likes to study most is how to show the charm of the two-dimensional world in real life in a way that is not deliberate, nor too imitative or pretentious. This kind of one plus one is greater than two is her advantage over others.

"No need for that, the bleeding has completely stopped, it was just a very small wound to begin with."

It seemed as if someone was simply asked to achieve this scenario. When Chen Junqian examined the tip of his index finger, which had been pricked earlier, again, the needle mark had completely disappeared. Gu Linguo also leaned over to look at it again and again, even wondering if her saliva really had some kind of magical power.

Am I really some kind of church saint reincarnated, and then the next moment I'm going to encounter monsters and shout 'I remember now!' to unleash my powers, only to find out that my brother was actually my lover from a past life?

Unlike a certain male protagonist who pretends to be a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), it can only be said that Gu Linguo, who is at this age, is indeed a little bit involved in this aspect. After all, someone did fulfill her biggest chuunibyou fantasy by suddenly entering her life as a male protagonist and decisively changing everything. Girls who read romance novels can fantasize about this, so it's really hard for her not to fantasize about it too.

"Golden list, inscription, name, name, is this for Sister Lin Mu and the others?"

Gu Linguo read out the four characters that Chen Junqian had written one by one, and asked curiously.

“Everyone gets one. I’ll give you one when Lin Guo takes her high school entrance exam next year.”

"Okay, I'll remember that. I hope it will help me get into the top class at Ningzhong High School."

Gu Linguo's grades have always been decent, which is one of the key reasons why her family allows her to "mess around" like this. Although various miscellaneous things have taken up a lot of her time and energy, she has always kept her ranking above the admission line for Ningzhong High School. After all, being one year behind is a serious debuff, and the setting of being in the same school must be maintained.

"By the way! The video of my brother and I performing at the anime convention last time went viral on Bilibili, which boosted our accounts. Some fans even asked us if we planned to start live streaming in the future."

"Let's leave the live streaming for now. We can shoot a vlog when we go out sometime. Our main job is still making videos, so let's not put the cart before the horse."

"Okay! I know. My summer vacation is coming up soon, so I can be very productive then. By the way, what are your plans for this summer vacation, brother? I feel like you have a lot of scenes you want to see or wishes you want to fulfill. If you tell me, I can help you."

If Zhu Wenyun was Chen Junqian's most capable assistant and wingman in Guoning's grand project of "You Are All My Wings," then Gu Lingguo was undoubtedly the No. 1 in achieving success in romantic comedy. This was mainly because, firstly, she was a true veteran of romantic comedy, able to handle various plots with ease, as if she could do it on her own without being taught; secondly, she had a very good grasp of the nuances, completely different from Zhu Wenyun's tendency to start saying "Good strategy, but I want to make some modifications" while acting.

"Is that so? Let me think about it..."

"Personally, I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Besides, didn't my brother specially reserve an entire beach this time? In that case, even Sister Lin Mu should be able to let loose. Don't worry, senior, as long as you give the order, I can make her fall on you in her swimsuit right away."

Faced with Gu Lingguo's "Give the order, Kaka!" attitude, Chen Junqian couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and patted her head, asking:

"Stop asking me. Does Lin Guo have any scenarios she wants to achieve?"

"I don't recommend you ask me this question, because I want too much. I want you to play watermelon and volleyball with me, teach me to swim and take me boating, help me apply sunscreen or bury me in the sand, find my lost swimsuit, and eat all the BBQ meat I cook and feed you. If you can't do any of that, just walking on the beach with me is fine too. I'll be satisfied as long as I turn around and see two rows of footprints side by side."

"Okay, I understand everything."

If the system could still speak at this moment, she would probably casually pat Chen Junqian on the shoulder to show that there was no need to feel pressured at all, because she had already elbowed the world to the last step.

The world of romantic comedies is ultimately a world of comedy, and as everyone knows, just like the joke that the comedic characters are always the strongest, the world can be changed for the male protagonist if he so chooses.

There were only six people.

The system's database contains countless romantic comedy male protagonists whose number of wings exceeds this figure.

If you're willing, you can handle even dozens or hundreds of people.

It's not about dividing one portion of love equally into two, but about holding that extra portion of love equally in the hearts of everyone who receives it. This is the message that a senior named Rentaro Aijo wanted to convey.

Of course, the whole world will cooperate with you.

But miracles don't come cheap. After all, just like Pinduoduo's "cut one more 99% and you'll get a cash reward" promotion, in a world that still maintains its realistic side, achieving the wish to continue being in the same class as your childhood friend in high school requires genuine and unimaginable effort.

However, compared to before, there was another little gadget on Lin Mu's desk this time.

"Here, this is for Mumu."

The small gift that his childhood sweetheart had casually given him was something they had done countless times in their lives. However, this time, perhaps because he particularly liked the wish for "passing the imperial examination," Lin Mu carefully placed it in the most conspicuous spot on his desk.

To be honest, Lin Mu was a little dazed when she saw the Chinese knot pendant that Chen Junqian had embroidered and braided himself. She was also very skillful when she was a child, and she was good at folding origami cranes and embroidering mini cross-stitch. But now that she thinks about it, she hasn't done these things for a long time.

While I keep saying I don't want to grow up, I've been subconsciously giving up all the things I used to do as a child. I stopped practicing calligraphy last year after years of practice. All my hobbies have been giving way to the so-called "right path" of studying without me even realizing it.

Xu Youwei is still learning to paint, and Zhu Wenyun has not stopped writing.

It's not that she regrets anything. This was her own choice, and it's the only path she can stick to. Maybe it's because she's a girl who doesn't have many thoughts about the future. All she can see is the present, the simple wish of getting into a good high school, then a good university, and finally a good job. It's as if her life will suddenly begin after she accomplishes all of that.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with that. The happiest thing Lin Mu can think of right now is to pass the high school entrance exam in a few days and then be in the same class as his childhood sweetheart. So he just needs to work towards that goal and doesn't need to think about anything else.

If there's anything she's thinking about right now besides studying and taking exams.

That probably leaves only her childhood sweetheart.

On the day of the physical test, before Chen Junqian went to find Xu Youwei, the two of them actually spent quite a while in that place that could barely be called a 'medical room'.

She was fed a few sips of unpleasant sugar-salt water by the other person. The wind blew from the other side of the stadium. The two of them talked for a long, long time while being watched by medical staff, but she couldn't quite remember what they talked about now.

Then, a couple of days ago, when Chen Junqian gave her this pendant, the white curtains on the classroom window were swaying in the wind, sometimes obscuring his profile and sometimes sliding to the side. I remember later a girl said that this scene was just like a classic scene from the movie "Love Letter," but unfortunately, Lin Mu herself hadn't seen it, so she didn't think there was anything special about it.

To be honest, she had actually seen it a few years ago, and it was at night. He took her to the classroom at school to get the homework she had forgotten to bring home. The night wind made the curtains rustle, which startled her for a long time. Then Chen Junqian went over and closed the window tightly.

The final days of junior high school seem to have been accelerated, much like the opening lines students often use in their Chinese essays: "Time flies like an arrow, days and months pass like a shuttle." Regardless of their grades, everyone feels tired and numb from one exam after another, until finally everyone is looking forward to the high school entrance exam.

Chen Junqian still doesn't come to school every day. After all, he had already passed the special admissions process for Ningzhong High School. However, every time he comes, he will tutor her, just like before. Occasionally, he will also pay out of his own pocket to buy drinks and ice cream for his classmates at the school store.

Lin Mu, who had volunteered to be the last student on duty for the last day, thoroughly cleaned the now empty classroom one last time. The blackboard at the back of the classroom, which had been covered with various exam rankings and inspirational slogans in the past, was now empty. The blackboard at the front of the classroom had the homeroom teacher's last wishes and the students' signatures.

Lin Mu searched for a long time before finally finding Chen Junqian's name, but then she discovered that the area around his name was already filled with other names, some of the strokes even overlapping. The girl stood on tiptoe, pursed her lips, and used the blackboard eraser to erase them bit by bit until a blank space was cleared around Chen Junqian's name.

Even in terms of childishness, she might not be as good as Vivi.

If it weren't for Wen Yun's novel, Lin Mu would never have imagined that his good friend had already done something like writing their names on candy wrappers, walls, and snow when they were in elementary school, then eating them, leaving them, and burning them.

For the first time, she copied the other person and wrote her own name next to that name, then drew a circle on the blackboard with chalk to frame them together.

The sun shone brightly outside the classroom, and cicadas chirped all around, but Lin Mu neither found it dazzling nor noisy. He simply stood there quietly for a long, long time before wiping them all away.

The next two and a half days felt both as long as an eternity and as short as a fleeting dream.

Finally, as the final bell rang over the school, signaling the end of the English exam, the whole world seemed to be paused for a moment, followed by a deafening roar. Countless junior high students released all the pressure they had accumulated, cheering and celebrating the arrival of summer vacation, thus bringing a complete end to their three-year preparation for the exam.

The girl remained quietly seated, unlike the other students who excitedly threw their papers or shouted. Just a minute ago, she had carefully checked her answer sheet one last time, then took a deep breath and watched the invigilator collect the papers. She felt a sense of tranquility after being completely emptied out, followed by an indescribable feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction.

She was convinced that she had done her best.

She carefully put away her stationery, then held the Chinese knot pendant that had been with her for two and a half days in her palm; the red thread had become warm from her grip.

Stepping out of the examination building, the midday sun bathed the campus in a dazzling golden-red hue. Crowds surged toward the school gate like a tide. Lin Mu, backlit, searched for that familiar figure in the bustling sea of ​​people.

What exactly should I say to the other person?

I've graduated again.

They've grown up again.

Then, the next sentence.

I really, really hope that we can be together again.

Please.

PS2: The movie "100 Girlfriends I Love So Much," mentioned in this chapter, is a very interesting romantic comedy in recent years. I highly recommend everyone to watch it. I will also pay homage to it in some later plots.

Chapter 102: The First Time and the Eightieth Time (Combined)

The arrival of summer vacation was certainly something Chen Junqian was happy about, but soon he discovered a new problem that needed to be solved: how to wake people up for the next two weeks.

Because only the junior high school students who have just finished their middle school entrance exams are on vacation, Chen Xi and the others will have to wait until July for their summer vacation. The main reason is that June is already a long vacation for them. During the college entrance exam, they had to take two days off because they needed to make room for the exam venue, and during the middle school entrance exam, they had to make room for the exam venue again for three days. So, their summer vacation naturally has to be postponed by two days.

After all, with the graduation of their batch of students, Chen Xi and Gu Linguo have become the new batch of junior high school students. They are the kind of students who will definitely be severely disciplined by the school and their parents. It is already a blessing that they, the older generation, have not had to attend extra classes.

Faced with this mismatch between the time when the person responsible for waking up is still in school and the time when the person being woken up is already on vacation, someone quickly made a suggestion at everyone's graduation banquet or farewell dinner.

More precisely, the question above was originally raised by her.
