I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

A small, oval-shaped porthole formed the grandest and cleanest backdrop behind the girl. Ten thousand meters above the ground, the boundaries between heaven and earth disappeared. Large, fluffy white clouds stretched out below the wings, and above them was a flawless, crystal-clear blue sky. Sunlight streamed in through the double-pane glass, dancing on the wispy hairs on her forehead and outlining her profile with a soft, pale gold ring.

She happily turned to a page in her diary, but did not get up. She remained in that lazy and somewhat dependent prone position, raising her face slightly up an inch from her arms, her nose tip flushed pink from being pressed down.

[July 1, 2015: The middle school entrance exam results are out!]

[I can finally say that line I've wanted to say to Qianqian for so long.]

From the airport to the plane, nothing romantic actually happened, but Chen Junqian still felt that the scene in front of him was more exciting than any specific plot.

"We'll be together for all three years of high school."

As if to make sure he could understand, she exaggeratedly slowed down and enunciated each syllable, and when she said the last three words, she wrinkled her nose slightly and her eyes curved into two cunning crescents, revealing a childlike mischief and stubbornness that she only dared to show in front of him.

Time and space folded together in the girl's silent declaration.

Chen Junqian looked at her gently for two seconds, without saying a word, but only mouthing the same words silently in the golden light:

"It's always been here."

Chapter 110: Then let's share a room (Two Chapters Combined)

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere on Chen Junqian's side, the atmosphere in Xu Youwei's row was obviously much more subtle. Zhu Wenyun, the only one sitting alone in the back row, had been observing the interaction between the three of them since boarding the plane, looking quite interested.

After all, in her opinion, if Chen Xi were to reveal the true nature of her relationship with Chen Junqian one day, the people most likely to be affected by this would be the two girls sitting next to her. Lin Mu, sitting next to her, probably wouldn't think it was a big deal at all, and would feel that it could be easily overlooked.

But Xu Youwei and Gu Lingguo are different.

The main reason is that the way the two of them interact with Chen Xi is almost entirely based on the underlying logic that she is Chen Junqian's sister. That's why the former can bicker with each other without actually making the relationship too bad. Even when faced with the former's threat of "telling my parents if you dare to have a relationship too early," they only think it's because the other party is just a casual acquaintance and they don't think about her feelings for Chen Junqian.

The latter is even more so. Don't be fooled by her constant jokes about younger sister characters in romantic comedies. If you were to actually let her know that the two of you are just siblings on the surface, she would probably be the first to panic. This would be like suddenly removing a constraint that she thought existed for someone, making everything she had done before seem like aiding the enemy.

Moreover, Gu Linguo is a girl who values ​​her public image a lot.

Zhu Wenyun still remembers that for a long time after Chen Junqian rescued her, the other person did not rashly choose to contact her. Instead, she hid in the stairwell on the floor below the teaching building and listened to her and Chen Junqian's conversation during breaks. If the two had not unexpectedly become neighbors later, this behavior, which could not be an exaggeration to call it stalking, would have continued for who knows how long.

Although both girls were saved by Chen Junqian during that stampede, Chen Xi could use the incident to establish a closer relationship with him, since she was the younger sister. This inherent persona and identity probably drove Gu Linguo crazy with envy more than once, otherwise the child wouldn't often call Chen Junqian "brother".

However, whether it's 'brother', 'senior', or any other strange title, in Zhu Wenyun's eyes, Gu Lingguo is essentially trying to use these terms to emphasize the relationship between the two of them, as well as her current identity and persona.

When exactly will it be revealed?

Zhu Wenyun rested her chin on her hand, completely oblivious to the situation of Chen Junqian and the other two sitting in front of her. Xu Youwei, on the other hand, had a much clearer view and was currently watching Gu Lingguo whispering something to Chen Xi.

"Xiao Xi, look over there."

As it turns out, Chen Junqian's gossip was always more interesting than the clouds outside the window. After the initial novelty wore off, Gu Lingguo quickly noticed the commotion in the other row and immediately moved closer to Chen Xi, lowering her voice to speak:

"I feel that Nianqiu, who is sleeping while leaning on her senior, is a good match for him, but Lin Mu, who is chatting with her brother while lying there, is also very cute. What do you think, Xiaoxi?"

Xu Youwei, sitting on the other side, also perked up her ears to this topic. Just as Zhu Wenyun had analyzed, in Chen Junqian's small social circle, the only one who could be considered neutral by everyone was probably Chen Xi. Therefore, when it came to romantic relationships, everyone would want to get the other person's opinion.

"Yeah, I think it's all good. But my brother is pretty amazing too. He can chat and laugh with another girl on his shoulder while one of them is asleep. Hmm, it seems like they're looking at something together, a diary?"

“It does seem so. I think Mumu took it out of her bag herself just now.”

Hearing this, Xu Youwei also went over to take a look. She was indeed a mature wingman now. After experiencing so much, she didn't feel any particular fluctuations in her heart when faced with this level of interaction between Chen Junqian and Lin Mu. She even felt a little emotional. After all, Lin Mu could indeed feel a great boost in his self-confidence after the high school entrance exam scores came out.

In that case, it seems like her plan is just around the corner?

Let those who fall in love first inspire those who fall in love later, and eventually everyone will fall in love together!

Seeing Xu Youwei suddenly join the conversation, Gu Lingguo raised the corners of her mouth again and asked in a teasing tone:

"What does Sister Youwei think?"

"Um, me? It's nothing. Mu Mu was indeed quite tired recently. It's not easy for everyone to get together for a trip, so it's normal for her to be happy and lively."

"That's true. Lin Mu's high school entrance exam results must have come from super hard work. It's really inspiring me. I'm going to start working hard next semester too!"

"If you can stop using the excuse of work to drag my brother to play games and watch anime a couple of times, I'll consider it an effort on your part."

"But the senior really likes it, and only I can accompany him on this kind of thing, just like only he can talk to you about topics you are interested in."

Seemingly realizing that there was no point in arguing with Gu Linguo any longer on this topic, Chen Xi sighed and then turned her gaze to Xu Youwei beside her. She suddenly felt that Xu Youwei had become much more agreeable lately since she wasn't as prone to getting angry. Moreover, the experience of being gradually surpassed and ultimately left behind academically by a friend was indeed unpleasant, so she still managed to ask her a question of concern:

"You've been quite quiet all day. Are you still recovering from the high school entrance exam, just like Mu Mu?"

"I don't think so. And don't make it sound like I did terribly on the test. This time, my results were just my normal performance. I got into a regular class, saving my family tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan. I definitely achieved my goal, since I never planned to go to the special admission class with Qinqin in the first place."

"You really didn't plan this in the first place, did you?"

"Okay, okay, of course I've thought about it. It's just that I'm not capable of doing it, alright?"

"But at least we're still in the same school and in the same grade, right?"

Faced with Xu Youwei's pouting complaint, Chen Xi perfectly demonstrated that the best way to comfort someone is not to praise them for being great, but to tell them that there are people who are worse off than them, sitting there shaking her head:

"I'll have to go to and from school by myself in the second half of the year."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make me sound like I'm not human."

Gu Lingguo muttered a complaint in a low voice, while Xu Youwei muttered something else:

"Isn't it strange that a little sister who's so old is still clinging to her brother? She's almost in high school, what happened to her rebellious phase?"

"Huh? What rebellious phase?"

"It's the rebellious phase. Some girls I know liked their older brothers when they were little, but by the time they were fifteen or sixteen, they would stop calling them 'brother.' They would either call them by their first names or call them 'feeding' or 'heying'. They would even walk down the street with their friends and not want to say hello if they saw them."

"...I can't imagine it."

For Chen Xi, the closest thing he has ever done to this situation was probably changing the title "brother" to the single character "哥" for a period of time, but then quickly changing it back.

"I think this is normal. After all, even family members only live together for the first ten or twenty years of their lives. Later on, everyone will still have to form their own small families."

Xu Youwei spoke with conviction, after all, her house was already prepared, and she had essentially broken away from Xu Zhiling's new family. Now she was just waiting for a few years to come.

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense."

To her surprise, Chen Xi actually nodded and agreed with her idea.

Therefore, the best strategy to overcome this kind of life is to first be a member of his original family, and then a member of the family he forms, that is, to be a sister first, and then a wife.

completely fine.

The plane landed smoothly at Sanya Phoenix International Airport. The slight jolt caused by the friction between the landing gear and the runway completely broke the tranquility inside the cabin.

The moment the cabin door opened, unlike the humid heat of Nanjing trapped in reinforced concrete, the tropical heat, carrying abundant moisture and salty sea breeze, enveloped everyone like a huge, soft net.

Wow—it's so hot!

As soon as Lin Mu stepped onto the covered bridge, she couldn't help but fan herself. She had been running very fast, but the heat wave forced her to take a half step back, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on the tip of her nose.

Chen Junqian followed from behind, casually pulled out an unscented wet wipe, and accurately smeared it on Lin Mu's face. His voice was exceptionally clear in the slightly noisy corridor:

"Didn't the announcement say when we got off the plane that the ground temperature here is 37 degrees Celsius? You're still wearing this coat. Take it off."

"Um... thank you, Qianqian."

Lin Mu mumbled indistinctly through the wet wipe, then obediently took off the coat she was wearing and handed it to Chen Junqian. She immediately felt full of energy again, like a wound-up little fox, and rushed ahead to find the luggage carousel.

The hotel shuttle that Chen Junqian had booked was waiting outside the arrival hall early in the morning. It was a spacious black stretch Lincoln with the air conditioning on full blast and a faint scent of white tea filling the air.

During the half-hour drive towards Haitang Bay, the girls hardly left the car window, including Chen Junqian himself, who pressed his face against the dark bulletproof glass, looking at the straight ring road, the vast expanse of lush tropical vegetation, and the occasional glimpse of dazzling blue through the gaps between buildings.

In contrast, Zhu Wenyun appeared much quieter. She sat on the other side of the back row, not even glancing out the window more than a few times. Instead, she looked down at her phone, her fingertips quickly swiping across the screen.

"What are you investigating?"

Chen Junqian sat between them and handed them a bottle of chilled mineral water.

"Look at the temperature these past two days, thirty-eight, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, it's incredibly hot."

"It's okay, we can just go for a dip in the sea. Can you swim, sister?"

"No, can you teach me?"

"no problem."

At 1:30 p.m., the black car smoothly pulled up in front of the lobby of a luxury resort hotel.

The lobby manager personally greeted them and, after verifying their identities, did not have them queue at the front desk. Instead, he led them directly to the VIP elevator, swiped their cards, and pressed the button for the top floor.

With a soft "ding," the elevator doors slid open to both sides.

Chen Junqian didn't book a regular sea-view room. Instead, he booked a full sea-view presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. When the butler pushed open the heavy double walnut doors, even though the girls had prepared themselves mentally on the way there, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison with a long "Wow!"

The suite spans over 400 square meters, and the extremely high-ceilinged living room features unobstructed 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the magnificent ocean view of the entire bay without reservation.

The azure sea, rolling white waves, and golden sands resemble a giant, living oil painting. A soft Persian carpet is laid in the center of the living room, and a white grand piano even sits in the corner. Sunlight streams freely across the gleaming marble floor, and the cool indoor air intertwines with the perfect scenery to create a mesmerizing contrast.

"Mr. Chen, this is your suite. The master bedroom and two secondary bedrooms are on the right side of the corridor, each with a private viewing terrace and an infinity pool. Is there anything else we can prepare for you?"

The butler respectfully handed over the room key.

"That's all for now, thank you."

Chen Junqian smiled and took the room key, then began to look at the specific rooms himself.

When asked how many rooms seven people should book for a hotel, Chen Junqian's solution was quite simple and straightforward: he booked an entire presidential suite that could theoretically accommodate up to ten people, and let everyone choose their preferred rooms upon arrival.

Besides the benefits of spacious comfort and facilities such as a private bathhouse and swimming pool, living under the same roof makes it easier to trigger the dark forest theory, making every girl who wants to make a night raid worry about whether her actions will be seen by others, turning his room into a surveillance-type secret room.

But this perfect plan went wrong in the very first step.

Faced with Chen Junqian's instruction, "Everyone, go and choose your favorite room. You can sleep alone or with someone else. The beds are all very big," Shen Nianqiu, who had been sleeping the whole way, yawned and uttered a remark that made people wonder if she was still half asleep. This caused Gu Lingguo, who was originally excitedly preparing to drag Chen Xi to choose a room, to freeze in place for a moment:

"How about the two of us share a room?"

Chapter 111: The Male Protagonist Only Does What He Wants to Do (4k5)

In the description of a romantic comedy achievement that Chen Junqian achieved a long time ago, titled "Only one room left," it was mentioned that in the world of romantic comedies, when each male and female protagonist goes to a hotel for various reasons, they usually only get a straightforward "Sorry, there's only one room left" from the front desk, and then are forcibly crammed into the same room.

I remember his thought at the time was 'another achievement that is easy to achieve when you are young but difficult when you grow up.' It can only be said that Chen Junqian, who had just been reborn not long ago, did not have any expectations or experience in this regard.

Reality is not a romantic comedy, and that's precisely why, when one party's feelings naturally reach this stage, the person involved often takes the initiative to make the invitation, without needing any divine intervention or assistance, just like Shen Nianqiu's words.

However, Chan Kwan-him's response to this was quite simple:

"But I refused; I want to have a room by myself."

In fact, before this summer trip, he had already set the overall tone for the trip on a personal level. It was not like what Gu Lingguo thought, that he wanted to get everyone together for a grand summer beach camping event. He was just simply going out to have some fun.
