I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

It feels like similar conversations happened many times a few years ago.

After a moment's consideration, Xu Youwei could only honestly say:

"Height and frame are often related to genes. Exercise can improve posture, making people look taller and in better physical condition, but it may not necessarily change their original body shape."

Lin Mu fell silent. She looked up at the line of words she had left on the wall and suddenly felt a strange sense of confronting a dark chapter from six months ago:

"So Vivi means I'm hopeless?"

"That's not what I meant at all."

"That's what you meant; Weiwei just put it more tactfully."

Xu Youwei felt a little helpless under her gaze and couldn't help but laugh:

"Actually, Mu Mu isn't really skinny. How should I put it, for your height, your figure is very well-proportioned."

However, Lin Mu was not comforted at all.

"This is a good student's way of comforting Weiwei."

"What does Mu Mu want to hear?"

"I want to hear the secret."

"But I really don't have a secret."

Xu Youwei looked at Lin Mu, whose ears were practically drooping with disappointment, and finally sighed.

"Or...should we go and investigate?"

Lin Mu's eyes lit up instantly: "Investigate what?"

"Check the methods you mentioned for improving your figure, but let me make it clear first: many online remedies are unreliable and you can't try them randomly, especially eating strange things, dieting, or using random medications. These are absolutely not allowed."

"I know, I know, I'm not stupid."

Looking at her excitedly taking out her phone, Xu Youwei felt that the other person looked like a child who would be tricked by strange posts, and she couldn't tell that she was sickly half a year ago.

Perhaps because Xu Youwei was still there, Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before choosing to search for 'how girls can improve their posture' first.

The content that popped up was fairly normal, including things like standing against a wall, neck and shoulder stretches, core training, glute and leg strength, avoiding hunching over, tucking your chin in when walking, getting enough sleep, and a balanced diet.

Lin Mu read through each item one by one, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper:

"I know all of that."

"These are indeed useful."

"But it's too slow."

"It's never been particularly fast to begin with."

Lin Mu reluctantly typed "how to grow taller and more elegant in a month" back into the search bar. This time, the search results became incredibly diverse, ranging from doing a ten-minute handstand every day to drinking milk with some mysterious stretching exercise, to patting your calves a hundred times before bed to straighten them, and even a post that seriously stated, "Tell yourself three times in the mirror every day that you will grow taller; psychological suggestion promotes physical development."

"Sigh, I saw these answers seven or eight years ago... They haven't changed at all over the years."

Feeling there was no point in continuing to hide it, Lin Mu finally decided to change the search terms in front of Xu Youwei to the simplest and most direct: 'How can a girl make her breasts bigger?'

Before the search results even appeared, Lin Mu looked up with a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, as if he had anticipated Xu Youwei's reaction:

"Weiwei, you're not allowed to look at me like that!"

Xu Youwei immediately looked away, trying to make her tone sound normal:

"I do not have."

“You do have it, and that’s a very serious problem. It’s one thing that you’re not growing taller, but why is there no movement here at all? I eat well every day, I don’t pick at my food, I exercise, and I’ve been like this since I was a child.”

Xu Youwei didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. This kind of topic is not uncommon among girls, but it was still a bit overwhelming to bring it up like Lin Mu was a major scientific research project.

"This... is also related to development time, body fat, and genetics. Everyone's pace is different, and it can't be changed by a single movement."

"But aren't there lots of breast enhancement exercises online?"

"Didn't Mu Mu just say she wasn't stupid?"

Lin Mu angrily lowered her head again, looking at the search results page. The search results were even more varied than the previous question about growing taller in a month. There were suggestions to massage for ten minutes every day, drink more papaya milk, do chest expansion exercises, and some with exaggerated titles that were obviously not serious. Xu Youwei almost swiped the screen down quickly, her ears burning.

"Ahem, these are all fake, unreliable."

However, Lin Mu didn't seem to react much, and even said with great experience:

"Of course I know, but there's one thing I want to ask Vivi: if massaging yourself doesn't work, will it work if someone you like massages you?"

Having actual experience in this area, Xu Youwei wanted to say that having Qinqin massage her would make her area bigger, but hers wouldn't get bigger at all. However, she couldn't bring herself to say that, so she could only awkwardly look away.

"Mumu, would you like to give it a try?"

"Ah, you've already done it again."

"Hmmmm?"

"Just like our first kiss, Vivi only let me do it after she'd done it herself. Well, Vivi, just answer me honestly. Um, will it get bigger?"

Having been pressed to this point by her close friend, Xu Youwei had no choice but to answer concisely and directly, without mincing words:

"Uh, no."

Lin Mu then let out another deep sigh:

"So Vivi means it's about genes again?"

Xu Youwei hesitated for a moment, but still nodded honestly:

"To a large extent, for example, people like Wen Yun and Nian Qiu, and oh right, Chen Xi."

Upon hearing those three names, Lin Mu completely deflated. She leaned back on the sofa, like a small animal that had gone limp from the sun, her voice muffled:

"Why do genes always seem to come at times like this to attack me?"

Xu Youwei couldn't help but want to laugh, but seeing how really frustrated she was, she suppressed her laughter.

"Actually, Mu Mu doesn't need to worry about this too much."

Regarding her best friend's safety, Lin Mu merely glanced at her wistfully:

"Of course Weiwei can say that. You're not me, and you and Qianqian were still in elementary school when you were dating, right? Neither of you would think of it that way. Ah, how easy it is."

Xu Youwei felt a little helpless under her gaze, so she could only continue to explain:

"But bigger isn't always better. It's about being the right size or natural. And as I said before, this size is already very well-proportioned for Mu Mu's height."

Lin Mu looked down at the front of his school uniform, and after a long while, he whispered:

"But she has no curves at all when she wears clothes."

"You can also adjust your clothing and posture. For example, don't always slouch. Open your shoulders and straighten your back. You will look much better. Also, it is important to have the right bra size. If it doesn't fit, you will look tired and uncomfortable."

Xu Youwei looked at her friend and lowered her voice a little:

"Mu Mu really doesn't need to rush to transform herself into a certain shape. Everyone's body shape is different. You think others are better now because you're always focusing on the parts you don't have, but others may envy you."

"What do you envy about me?"

Sure enough, this is still the best way to comfort someone. Xu Youwei thought to herself, complaining inwardly, while continuing to praise Lin Mu like she was coaxing a child:

"I envy Mumu's slim waist, I envy Mumu's petite figure, I envy your sweet smile, I envy your energetic appearance."

"It sounds like you're coaxing a child."

"Do you want to listen?"

Lin Mu was silent for two seconds, and finally agreed in a low voice:

"want."

As she spoke, she lay back down on the sofa again:

"Actually, Qianqian has said something similar."

"He definitely wouldn't dislike or despise you because of this."

"I know, but knowing is one thing, whether I would think that way is another. Boys would definitely like that kind of girl, at least someone like Weiwei."

"Don't talk about me like I'm some kind of safety net, okay? I'm already at the average level for girls in China, okay? And Qin..."

She almost brought up some of the ridiculous things the two of them did during their first love. The scene from that time unconsciously floated into Xu Youwei's mind. She quickly tried to throw those romantic days out of her mind. At first, she was worried that Lin Mu would question her, but when she looked up, she found that he was staring at his phone.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just saw the news that 'We Live in Guoning' has officially started filming, and the theme song will be sung by the well-known online singer Yi Qiu."

Lin Mu put her phone aside again, curled up on the sofa with her legs crossed and hugged her knees, making her look even smaller. Suddenly, in a naive and innocent tone, like a child watching a TV drama where the male and female protagonists start kissing, she asked Xu Youwei:

What are those two going to do...?

Chapter 219: My Sister's College Entrance Exam Diary

On the morning of the first day of the college entrance examination, Lin'an experienced a brief rain shower.

The rain started just before dawn, beginning with a few drops that tapped sparsely on the hotel window. It gradually grew heavier, with fine rain threads sliding down the glass and casting a blurry golden glow on the streetlights across the street. The sky was not yet fully bright, and the whole city seemed shrouded in a damp, grayish-blue hue. Occasionally, a car would drive by in the distance, its tires crunching over puddles, leaving short, soft sounds.

Shen Nianqiu woke up very early; to be more precise, she hardly slept at all.

Around 10 p.m. last night, she had already closed the book, washed up, and gone to bed to prepare for sleep, as Chen Junqian had asked. However, it turned out that the sense of security she felt from him turned into a kind of intense restlessness as the distance between them suddenly closed. Realizing this, Chen Junqian took the initiative to book another room next door. The two of them said goodnight to each other on their phones, just like most of the time before, before Shen Nianqiu finally drifted off to sleep.

The words "Gaokao" (National College Entrance Examination) didn't feel as earth-shattering as people had imagined on the day it actually arrived. Today is June 7th. The exam is Chinese in the morning and Mathematics in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning is the comprehensive exam and afternoon is the foreign language exam. In Anhui, the Gaokao would actually end here after two days. However, in Zhejiang, there is an additional exam called "elective module" on the morning of the 9th.

This is an additional test for students who want to apply to top-tier universities, also known as key universities. The total score is 60 points. If you want to apply to key universities such as 985 and 211 universities, you must take this test. This is why the total score for the college entrance examination in Zhejiang is 810 points.

However, this self-selected module exam is only in its last year. It will be abolished after the new college entrance examination reform next year. As for the fact that the duration of the new college entrance examination can be extended from three days to four days, that's another matter. It can only be said that the college entrance examination policies vary from place to place.

As Shen Nianqiu pondered, she propped herself up on the bed, her hair slightly disheveled. The curtains weren't fully drawn, and sunlight streamed in through the gaps, illuminating her backpack zipper. Lost in thought, she heard two soft knocks at the door, as if Chen Junqian, sensing her awakening, sent his greetings from outside.

"Is my sister awake?"

Through the door, Chen Junqian spoke in a very low voice, as if afraid of startling her.

Shen Nianqiu paused for a moment before replying:

"Yes, I just woke up."

“Is it okay for me to go home?”
