"Okay—I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat."
This was something he had promised on the way. The main reason was that when they passed by the roadside night market stalls, the two of them were practically drooling. Students of this age who have just finished their evening self-study sessions can never resist a late-night snack. However, compared to roadside stalls, they would naturally trust Chen Junqian more in terms of both taste and health.
While Chen Junqian was busy in the kitchen, Xu Youwei plopped down next to Lin Mu. She continued asking about the previous topic, but unconsciously looked down at her chest. For some reason, she recalled what Lin Mu had told her when he asked her how to change his figure: "Even if someone touches him, it will only make his penis bigger, not his breasts."
"So? Does Qinqin like it? Does she react? What about Mumu? Does she feel anything?"
I have a feeling the next question is going to be "Is your married life going well?", but Xu Youwei says there's nothing she can do about it. After all, it's a win-win situation for both of them. She was the first female protagonist to unlock the mysterious CG, but she crippled herself at her peak and is just waiting for Mu Mu to awaken her. So naturally, she has to keep a close eye on it.
"I want to hear from Weiwei first, I want to hear about your experience in this area."
Well, in a way, Mu Mu is just like a fledgling bird who, after her first time, is very insecure and wants to ask her friends or check the average data online. After all, she is also worried about the situation of "Hahaha, so this is how Qianqian is on your side? It's completely different on my side." And this question can only be asked of Xu Youwei, since the rest of the people have either already crossed the finish line or haven't even started yet. It is only after her best friend held back for a year that she finally got to come over.
After all, the past had been put behind us, so when Lin Mu asked about it so bluntly, Xu Youwei didn't hold back anymore. In fact, she was quite impressed with her first initiative and even proud of it, since she had used tactics like feinting, deceiving the enemy, and dismantling the bridge after crossing the river.
"Well, I'll tell you—"
Chen Junqian, who was in the kitchen, was leisurely inspecting the ingredients in the refrigerator. During the year or so that he had been living alone, Youyou had also learned basic kitchen skills. She could cook noodles, steam dumplings, boil dumplings and heat buns. She could easily solve breakfast and late-night snacks. For lunch and dinner, the aunt hired by Xu Zhiling would come over and cook the meals in advance, so the kitchen was never short of various ingredients.
But it was already evening, and a late-night snack was just something to tide you over, so Chen Junqian decided to make a light bowl of noodles. He shredded various vegetables and arranged them neatly, his movements practiced and natural. Even the simplest steps, after his touch, gained a mysterious filter from the world of anime. After all, two seasons of "Food Wars!" had already aired, and his favorite anime, "Food Wars!", was a romantic comedy. However, the food he made wouldn't actually make girls explode...
The thought had barely crossed Chen Junqian's mind when he immediately heard the sound of running water coming from the direction of the bathroom. Taking a nice hot bath in this early winter was indeed a very enjoyable thing, but hadn't they just said they were going to have a late-night snack?
Somewhat puzzled, I walked out of the kitchen, only to bump right into my childhood friend who was busy taking off his entire school uniform jacket and shirt.
Even if the clothes really do rip off, we haven't even eaten the noodles yet, have we?
Coming to his senses, the petite girl, dressed only in close-fitting clothes, had already rushed up to him in a few steps. She raised both hands high and placed them on his shoulders, using them for support as she slightly hopped up on tiptoe, temporarily hanging on him. Her lips quickly pressed against his ear:
"How about we go take a bath together later, Qianqian?"
Just as the history teacher said, the colonial behavior of imperialism in colonies can objectively promote the development of the colonized areas. Similarly, the best friend's long-standing sneaking around can, in a sense, provide rich experience support for later generations. At least Lin Mu has clearly learned from the experience of her classmate Youyou, and even the bathtub is the same model as back then.
Incidentally, based on the actual experience, it was indeed proven that a bathtub big enough for two people to stretch out comfortably can also barely fit three people. However, it's still too cramped, so most of the time one person ends up showering on the side...
Memories from last night seemed to vaguely resurface before his eyes along with the misty steam from the hot water. Chen Junqian blinked again until he saw his sister's familiar face in front of him, and then he realized that it was another morning.
"Did your brother come home particularly late last night?"
The information was still obtained from Wang Hongling on the way here. With the quilt under her body getting thicker as the temperature dropped, Chen Xi felt that the information she could get from her brother's physical reactions was also decreasing. So she simply found a corner and put her hand inside, placing the cool quilt on his thigh.
"Yeah, didn't Xiaoxi see it last night? Mumu suddenly said she wanted to take Youyou home together, and then the three of us chatted at her house for a while. In the end, we also took Mumu home, so we got back late."
This was even after Chen Junqian had specially adjusted the flow of time. He really hadn't expected that the energy Lin Mu and Xu Youwei unleashed together would be no less than that of Zhu Wenjun and Shen Nianqiu. However, this could be considered a difference in style. Compared to the latter's simple, direct, and unrestrained style, the former was full of continuous shyness, intermittent boldness, long-term tug-of-war, and girlish blushing. It can only be said that time passed by unknowingly.
That means he still has to go to school today to participate in the sports meet, otherwise Chen Junqian would suspect that Lin Mu would call home and say that he wants to stay at Xu Youwei's place for one night.
Upon arriving at the school, the atmosphere of the sports meet was already quite lively. Members of the school's Youth League Committee were running back and forth carrying boxes of bottled water and disposable paper cups. Physical education teachers were standing by the track checking the timing equipment. The class formations were gathering in front of the teaching building, and the class flags were fluttering in the wind. Students from the broadcasting station were testing the sound in advance, and the intermittent background music mixed with the voices of the crowd drifted far away from the playground.
"Test, test—"
"Please have your class's sports representative sign in by 7:40. If you are not present, please contact your class teacher immediately."
"Students participating in the men's 100-meter preliminary round, please proceed to the check-in area for check-in. Please do not crowd."
Under Chen Junqian's control, the temperature and weather were just right today. The sunlight still carried a hint of morning coolness, and a thin layer of dew clung to the lawn of the playground. However, as more and more students arrived, the temperature in the air gradually rose.
Gu Linguo, carrying a stack of newly printed program booklets, ran from the teaching building to the temporary office area next to the podium, his forehead already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Chen Junqian!"
She called out across several folding tables. Chen Junqian was standing in front of the whiteboard, confirming the schedule for the morning's events with the physical education teachers. Hearing her voice, he immediately turned around.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Although she said that, Gu Linguo still raised her chin, looking like she wanted praise. Just then, Zhu Wenyun walked over from the other side of the stage. Today she was wearing a white volunteer jacket issued by the school's Youth League Committee, with a simple light gray tracksuit underneath. Her long hair was tied into a neat high ponytail, and her work badge was pinned to her chest. Her imposing aura made Gu Linguo want to think about those unattainable beauties again. How could there really be girls in real life who are good at studying, have a good figure, and have enough time to accompany you to club activities?
After mentally complaining like that, Gu Linguo didn't forget to continue praying.
Even so, she is a girl with superpowers, and as long as she keeps praying, her wishes will definitely come true!
The sun gradually rose higher.
The gunshots on the track, the cheers from the stands, and the constant announcements from the broadcasting station made the entire playground feel like a high-speed machine, but under Chen Junqian's direction, this machine ran exceptionally smoothly.
After several routine track and field events concluded, the background music from the broadcasting station suddenly stopped. The students on the field assumed it would be a regular halftime break, but the next second, the announcer's deliberately drawn-out voice came over the loudspeaker:
"Please note—Please note—"
"Next, we will move on to the most anticipated special segment of this year's Guoning Middle School Autumn Sports Meet!"
The students who were drinking water, chatting, and eating snacks in the stands all looked up at the same time.
"Fun activities are about to begin!"
"Students from each class, please proceed to the designated viewing area inside the football field in an orderly manner. Do not crowd or climb over the fence. The first event is a random two-person or three-legged race!"
Cheers erupted instantly from all directions.
"I'm coming!"
"It's finally here!"
"This year's draw is really random!"
"Hurry up, let's get a good spot!"
The order on the playground suddenly became tense, but the well-prepared volunteers immediately stood at the entrances of each passageway to guide students to move to the designated areas. Four sprint tracks had been marked with white lime lines on the inside of the football field, and four transparent lottery boxes were placed at the starting point, next to a large temporary screen.
Several large, eye-catching words were written at the top of the screen:
A random and fun challenge – three-legged race.
The rules are also displayed synchronously:
In the first round, eight participants were randomly selected and paired up into four teams.
Partners may be from different classes or grades.
Each pair of people needs to complete the strapping and securing and have a brief conversation within two minutes.
The race is a 50-meter round trip, and points are awarded based on the order in which the finish line is reached.
If a participant is unable to participate due to health reasons, a substitute will be randomly selected by the system.
"Eight people in a round!"
"How many rounds will we have to draw?"
"At least four wheels, right?"
"Oh my god, I'm a little nervous."
"You might not even get to draw one."
"What if?"
More and more students gathered in the stands. The homeroom teachers were initially worried that the scene would get out of control, but when they saw that the school's Youth League volunteers had clearly divided the area and that physical education teachers and Youth League teachers were standing on the periphery to maintain order, they gradually felt relieved.
The host quickly walked to the center of the football field. Today, the two students in charge of the fun activities were a boy and a girl, who were the best at creating a lively atmosphere at the broadcasting station.
"Class, the random fun challenge that everyone has been waiting for is now officially starting!"
"First event, three-legged race – please look at the big screen!"
The screen behind the host lit up, displaying a dense scroll of student ID numbers. Strings of numbers, like dancing stars, flashed by from the first year of high school to the third, among students of different classes and names. Everyone in the stands instinctively held their breath. Four student ID numbers and their corresponding names quickly came into view, and among them was indeed a name that everyone was all too familiar with:
[Chen Xi, Class 1, Grade 11]
As the only student in the entire school to skip a grade in nearly ten years, Chen Xi has finally shed the label of Chen Junqian's sister. Now, if you say that, people can even refute you. They've already said they're not biological siblings, but godparents, and godparents who were betrothed as children. But when the person in question saw the name, she looked utterly hopeless and was even prepared to go to the check-in office to ask for leave and quit.
But one of the last four names that appeared in the second round made her change her mind.
[Chen Junqian, Class 1, Grade 11]
The students in Class 2 of Senior Three almost all stood up, their shouts rising in waves. Students from other classes also joined in the commotion, and many even began to discuss who would be his random partner.
"Alright! All eight contestants have been selected! Next, the random pairing system will determine their partners!"
As the host began speaking, the animation on the screen flashed by rapidly, finally freezing after a few seconds:
"Chen Junqian - Chen Xi".
Gu Linguo, who was standing next to him, simply tilted her head and blinked.
God of romantic comedy! What are you doing?!
P.S.: Thank you for reading and subscribing.
Chapter Thirty-Three: I Won—
Although it was two months ago, Chen Xi still clearly remembers her feelings when she read a certain passage in "My Sister's Life," which described the younger sister's thoughts after learning that her brother had a girlfriend but broke up with her because of her:
I hugged my brother tightly—a torrent of emotions surged within me at those words, the intense feeling pounding in my wrists and neck, as if my pulse itself carried my breath. A torrent of regret and passion pounded against my heart like drumsticks, and deep within me lay the most profound and powerful emotions:
Even though we say that family is always one family, everyone knows that most people will eventually leave home and start their own families. Siblings will naturally separate and start their own businesses. However, most romantic comedies never go that far or reach that age. Therefore, the story always takes place in the family you were born into, which is why the younger sister character always seems strong.
If things really go to the second step, most couples probably wouldn't accept that their partner has a close sister by their side. This is the root cause of the brother's breakup with his girlfriend in the book. So, the life dilemma here is probably just replacing the mother in the water with the sister, and then letting the male protagonist choose to save the sister or the girlfriend.
However, Chen Xi had already been thinking about and preparing for this step for a long time.
I will spend ten years cultivating my brother's favor, ten years developing my own career, and finally ten years achieving a happy family and reaching the pinnacle of life!
Although the last emperor who mentioned this died young...
"What's wrong? If Xiaoxi really doesn't want to participate, she can withdraw now."
Seeing his younger sister's blank and absent-minded expression, Chen Junqian asked her in a low voice with concern. After all, Chen Xi had never liked to join in the fun, and most of the time Gu Linguo would take her along. Moreover, what they were doing now was a sport that she hated the most.
When Chen Junqian asked her question, the younger sister, having regained her senses, shook her head and refused:
"No need. It's quite a coincidence that I'm grouped with my brother. Besides, three-legged races aren't a particularly strenuous activity. My brother can just carry me and run with me."
Was the verb used at the beginning "hug" or "hey"?
While Chen Junqian was complaining in his heart, he subconsciously glanced at Zhu Wenyun, who had gone back to work as a staff member after not being drawn. He knew very well that Chen Xi's request for a hug was, in a sense, because of Zhu Wenyun's new book.
The last time he participated in a three-legged race at a sports meet was five years ago, in 2011 when he was in sixth grade. His partner was naturally his childhood sweetheart, Lin Mu. Therefore, the literary girl who recently wrote the book "Starting Today, We'll Be Childhood Sweethearts" naturally paid tribute to this plot or included this passage in the book, which left a deep impression on Chen Xi himself.
After all, if we only look at height, excluding Mu Mu who is used to being at the bottom, she is actually the second to last girl. Above her are Gu Linguo and Xu Youwei, and at the very top are Shen Nianqiu and Zhu Wenyun. But even Zhu Wenyun, who is the tallest of the six and is now over 1.7 meters tall, can be clearly seen standing next to Chen Junqian with a height difference of about 10 centimeters. Naturally, the difference between her and Lin Mu is even more obvious.
That's why, since the older brother could carry Lin Mu when the height difference and childhood friendship weren't so obvious back then, there's no reason why the older brother can't carry her now. Moreover, she would definitely be more cooperative with him than Lin Mu was back then. Chen Xi knew that person's personality back then. Asking her to show their intimacy in public was harder than asking her to eat three plates of green vegetables.
Before they officially stepped onto the starting line, the referee came over and handed them the blue straps.
Chen Xi originally wanted to reach out and take it, then bend down to handle it herself, but Chen Junqian took it first.
