I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

She had already planned it out. When that day came, she would just find some excuse not to go, leaving the stage to the two of them, just like the year before last.

"I'll definitely go if I can. The main reason is that my sister will be coming this year, so I need to settle things with her first, and then we'll see what to say."

Unlike last year, Chen Junqian wants to keep Shen Nianqiu at Guoning for a little longer this year.

It wasn't just because of the other person's family situation, but also because of his own selfish motives.

On February 28, 2015 (the tenth day of the first lunar month), the animated film "Big Hero 6," produced and distributed by Disney, will be released in mainland China.

Chen Junqian certainly wanted to go to the cinema with Shen Nianqiu to watch the premiere of this animated film, but his gaze also shifted to Xu Youwei's face next to him.

For a long time after his rebirth, Chen Junqian preferred to play the role represented by the nickname his sister had given him in his previous life, rather than the male lead in a romantic comedy. This nickname had warmed and inspired him for a long time after his sister disappeared.

A robot that wakes up whenever it hears someone cry out in pain, with a face structured in a straight line and a body as soft and white as cotton candy, then it says to the person in front of it:

"Hello, I'm Big White, your personal health consultant."

...Although it's not just one person anymore.

P.S.: Thank you for reading and subscribing.

PS2: Both Frozen and Zootopia, which were released before and after Big Hero 6, had sequels, but this one hasn't, which is a bit of a shame.

Chapter 47: This is how you pass the ball to Mu Mu (4k6)

The winter sun always carries a unique, dull warmth. Although it doesn't bring much definite warmth when it shines on people, it unconsciously makes them feel lazy. Combined with the leisurely holiday and the lively atmosphere before the New Year, the pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the street are almost all in a very relaxed posture.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Junqian was able to easily sense Xu Youwei's tension.

It's strange, really. When they were still in a secret relationship, Xu Youwei always looked carefree whenever they went out together. But now that they've broken up, she's become unusually nervous, almost like a frightened bird.

However, Chen Junqian could understand Xu Youwei's thoughts. Rather, as the most senior cat owner of this cat-like girl, he had already thought of her reaction after reading Zhu Wenyun's book. Or perhaps, more than a year ago, when she couldn't help but confess, the current ending had already become one of the options for the future. It didn't even matter whether he was the male protagonist of a romantic comedy or not, but rather it was determined by the relationship between the three of them.

As for this classmate Youyou, Chen Junqian, who can be considered half the instigator, naturally has to take responsibility and become her personal health consultant, which in a sense can be considered a return to the relationship between the two of them at the beginning.

As for the specific treatment method, Chen Junqian has temporarily named it 'desensitization therapy'.

Although it was quite a novel experience to occasionally see the soft and tender form of Youwei, Chen Junqian decided to officially intervene, considering her mental health. After all, he wasn't some medical robot rigidly programmed to only appear when a patient cried out in pain. It was best to intervene and resolve such psychological issues as early as possible.

With this in mind, after wandering around aimlessly and buying some delicious, pretty, and fun little trinkets, Chen Junqian led the two back to his home, explaining that he needed help cleaning at the end of the year because Chen Jun would be returning from Tangshan in a couple of days, so it would be better to tidy up in advance.

There are only the three of them at home now. His younger sister and Gu Linguo are going to tutoring classes as usual. It can be said that mastering everyone's tutoring schedule has always been one of Chen Junqian's essential skills, so there is no need to worry about someone suddenly appearing.

As usual, Chen Junqian, the tallest of the group, was in charge of cleaning the windows. Lin Mu stood next to him and helped him with his stool. But after a while, Lin Mu suddenly seemed to remember something and started laughing to himself for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Junqian paused what he was doing and looked down at Lin Mu.

"No, no, I just suddenly remembered something about our cleaning duty in elementary school. Remember that time I was cleaning the windows? Qianqian was sweeping the hallway outside and talking to me through the window. I almost fell off the windowsill, but Weiwei caught me."

Following Lin Mu's question, Chen Junqian's gaze once again subtly fell on the figure in the corner.

Xu Youwei was squatting in front of the bookshelf, mechanically wiping the bottom edge of the glass door. Her back was still very tense, like a fully drawn bow. It seemed that even the slightest sound could startle her. However, when Lin Mu mentioned her speech so close to her, she seemed not to hear it and shrank back as if she hadn't heard it.

As a private health consultant, Chen Junqian has always felt that the image design of Baymax is quite perfect. He is gentle and inclusive, and looks dull but is soft. However, the person who first gave him this nickname can no longer use this therapy, but the person in front of him is quite suitable.

After wiping the windows, Chen Junqian went to the sink to wash the rag in his hands, then walked over to Xu Youwei and stood next to her, clearly dividing the tasks and starting to wipe the upper areas that she couldn't reach, instantly reducing the distance between them to the closest they had been since they met that day.

"……what?"

"What, what are you doing?"

Pretending not to understand what the other person meant, Chen Junqian neither stepped back nor moved any closer. He simply stood there, steadily wiping the dust off the top shelf of the bookshelf with the rag, his tone as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Don't be like a frightened rabbit, jumping away as soon as I get close, or stuttering when I talk to you. We're not breaking up, and isn't it your own words that we should go back to how we used to be?"

Lowering his voice to a level only the two of them could hear, Chen Junqian paused, but his hands didn't stop. He wiped the bookshelf until it gleamed, and also took down a music box that was on it, placing it together with other items that had been temporarily removed from the bookshelf for cleaning, such as glass bottles and small figurines.

"If you keep saying that, Mu Mu will only think that we've had a fight, or that we're hiding something and feeling guilty. That's the last thing you want to see, isn't it?"

These words acted like a tranquilizer, precisely targeting Xu Youwei's chaotic cerebral cortex.

She stared blankly at Chen Junqian. Although she thought what he said made perfect sense and the logic was flawless, she still felt that behind such logic was the unique concern that the other party had noticed her abnormality.

Well, even knowing that this line of thinking is still based on the old concept of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Xu Youwei still felt a sense of peace that she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Besides, I also help Lin Mu with chores. She can't even wring the mop properly, so I always have to go and help her. If Youyou wants to go back to, or even just temporarily go back to, the way we used to be, but doesn't know how, just look at Mu Mu. Don't keep trying to distance yourself from her. Mu Mu has never misunderstood our interactions. I don't know who influenced her, but now she thinks that the interactions between childhood sweethearts are perfectly normal. She even consciously wants to try things she hasn't experienced before."

As if to echo his words, Lin Mu on the balcony suddenly shouted:

"Qianqian, come help me with this."

Chen Junqian raised an eyebrow at Xu Youwei, seemingly indicating that she should take a good look, then turned around, agreed, put down the rag, and walked over.

Lin Mu, who volunteered to experience cleaning windows again, stood in front of the chair. Chen Junqian held the chair steady with one hand and gently lifted her with the other, helping her onto the chair. He then stood there and reached out to support her back. Lin Mu, without saying a word, hummed a song as she cleaned the windows. When she got off, she even playfully jumped, only to be caught by Chen Junqian, who was already prepared, and landed smoothly on the ground.

Even though she was watching the person she liked interacting intimately and tenderly with another girl, Xu Youwei felt no jealousy. Firstly, this was Chen Junqian demonstrating to her the social distance that childhood sweethearts could maintain in front of others. Secondly, it was because the other person was Lin Mu.

After realizing this, the thorns in Xu Youwei's heart that were originally sharp and ready to hurt her miraculously softened a little.

indeed.

Even at the height of their secret relationship, Chen Junqian's attitude towards Lin Mu during their three-person gatherings remained the same—a natural and unwavering care and tolerance. Lin Mu, in turn, always took it for granted and never found it strange.

A little while later, Wang Hongling, who had been out shopping, returned home. Seeing her son cleaning the house with his two daughters, she quickly cut a plate of fruit in the kitchen and brought it over, her face beaming with the loving smile typical of an elder.

"Come on, kids, take a break. These tangerines are super sweet. I just bought them. Try them!"

"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

Compared to Lin Mu, who was already used to dealing with Wang Hongling, Xu Youwei's reaction was obviously a beat or two slower, but she still quickly replied:

"Thank you auntie."

"Speaking of which, when Qianqian eats oranges, he always has to painstakingly peel off the orange pith for a long time, but he doesn't peel them when he eats tangerines in winter."

"Is it possible that these oranges are so small that there's no need to peel them? I just eat them one bite at a time. Wow, they are indeed quite sweet. Mom, which store did you buy them from? I'll buy some next time too."

"The fruit shop downstairs in our building."

"Okay, I understand."

After popping a whole tangerine into his mouth, Chen Junqian reached out and peeled another one, but this time he didn't eat it himself. Instead, he handed it to Xu Youwei next to him.

The desensitization therapy must continue, and the current test is to have Xu Youwei confirm the actual social distance between the two of them in the presence of Lin Mu and her mother.

Of course, this was also a personal concern of his.

"Give."

It can be summed up in one word: clean and straightforward, open and honest.

Xu Youwei froze again.

She looked at the hand extended in front of her, at the tempting orange, and then at Lin Mu, who was still acting coquettishly with Wang Hongling beside her.

"What are you standing there for? Take it."

Chen Junqian's voice rang out at just the right moment, breaking down her psychological defenses. His tone carried a perfectly balanced mix of disdain and familiarity.

"I've already peeled the skin for you. Do you want me to feed you myself, Yoyo? My mom can do that if she's not here."

"Go away, go away. You're already complaining about me as soon as I get back, huh? Fine, fine, I'll go to the kitchen to cook and won't bother you kids anymore, okay? Mu Mu and You Wei are staying for dinner tonight. I'll let your family know in a bit."

Wang Hongling waved her hand dismissively, making the decision for the two children with remarkable ease.

If the pain index is from one to ten, how do you feel right now?

Chen Junqian once again recalled the original line from the movie that Shen Nianqiu had said during their conversation in his previous life. What he needed to do now was to gradually lower this index, even if Xu Youwei herself was unaware of it.

Take it, it's okay.

Sending this signal through her eyes, Xu Youwei finally reached out and touched the cold orange flesh with her fingertips.

The instant she received it, she instinctively looked at all the referees in the arena.

But as far as she was concerned, Lin Mu, whose mouth was already stuffed full, simply swallowed what she was eating after hearing Chen Junqian's words, and muttered with a pout:

"What about mine? What about mine?"

Here, yours.

"Hehehe."

Seeing that Wang Hongling had already gone to the kitchen, Lin Mu no longer needed to pretend to be particularly proper in front of the adults. He simply leaned over and bit her with his mouth before lying back down on the sofa, completely satisfied.

Nobody thought anything was wrong.

No one was perceptive enough to analyze why she had paused for a moment.

But it wasn't until Lin Mu was chewing the fruit that Xu Youwei slowly put her own into her mouth.

sweet.

With its slightly cool juice, it has a refreshing sweetness.

Sugar can indeed bring people the most primal pleasure at the genetic level, and she felt that the suffocating feeling that had been weighing on her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Indeed, she never needed to turn herself into a cold, unfamiliar stranger.

She can still be taken care of, and still enjoy his kindness, as long as all of this is filtered through a soft lens called friendship, and then she can quietly wait for Lin Mu to fall in love with Chen Junqian.

The setting sun outside the window painted the horizon a warm orange-red.

"How is it? Isn't it sweet, just like I said?"

After feeding Lin Mu a piece of the fruit with a soft "ah-woo," Chen Junqian turned back to the girl in front of him, who had been the first to trigger the achievement titled "Come...ah—" and asked her softly.

Xu Youwei raised her head, a little bit of glistening juice on the corner of her mouth.

The carefully constructed defensiveness that I displayed when we first met today has mostly melted away, revealing the soft core beneath that still loves me.

"Mmm...it's very sweet."

"Eat more if it's sweet. I'll go buy more when I'm done. Nobody's going to take it from you."

Xu Youwei lowered her head, took another one, peeled off the skin without looking back at Lin Mu's expression, and then offered it to Chen Junqian's mouth as a return gesture.

As expected, nothing happened.

Turning around, I saw Lin Mu already engrossed in playing on his phone.

Although Xu Youwei wanted to be thankful for the other party's slowness at this moment, on the other hand, if Lin Mu continued to have this kind of atmosphere, then she really didn't know when her plan would be realized.

As the only person who successfully confessed her feelings, Xu Youwei knew very well that Chen Junqian was actually a guy who was easily swayed. Although he could always reject confessions from strangers he had barely met, he would definitely not be so decisive if it was someone he cared about, such as girls like Zhu Moumou and Shen Moumou.

All I can say is that after realizing this, Xu Youwei once again felt a strong urge to "V you fifty, let me play this hero by hand" after a long time.
