I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

Of course, this is only the first stage of all of their lives, far from the so-called ending or end, and it can even be said that it is still far from over. But compared with their previous lives, they have indeed completely put an end to what they carried in the past.

"eggplant--"

With this thought in mind, Chen Junqian, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle, raised the two front paws of the pure white kitten that his mother had specially brought from home to pick him up for the exam, and together with everyone, he gave the camera the best smile.

For him, this is the best romantic comedy.

Although they encountered Chinese-style parents, they still managed to create a romantic comedy.

Yes, a Chinese-style romantic comedy.

PS2: There should be one last chapter in the main text of this book, and then, like the previous two books, there will be a personal epilogue. However, I will first write a closing statement about the specific plans. The CCB segment of the younger group that wasn't covered in the previous book will also be included in the epilogue, so how Mu Mu infiltrated the younger group...

Chapter 59: The Final Chapter - I Turned Reality into a Romantic Comedy

Chen Junqian still remembers checking his college entrance exam results in his previous life at his old home in the countryside. His grandparents sat behind him, and the three of them dared not utter a single word. They could only listen to the news reports on TV to find out this year's admission scores while anxiously waiting for the final results to be announced.

The final score was within my normal range, neither exceptional nor below average, and was about ten points above the first-tier university admission line. I ended up applying to a university in my province for Chinese Language and Literature, and then I plunged headfirst into the pit of children's books, never to climb out until my rebirth.

This time, however, it was completely different. Chen Junqian's living room was almost full of people, but the atmosphere was quite quiet. Apart from the ticking of the second hand of the wall clock, there was almost no other noise. Chen Jun was still out of town and had not returned, so Wang Hongling sat in the middle of the sofa with Chen Xi's mother. "They clearly gave birth to a brother and sister who were in the top three in their grade," but the two mothers looked nervous. Even the other relatives next to them did not dare to speak. On the contrary, the two people who were about to announce their college entrance examination results were leisurely playing games with Gu Linguo.

"Is it time? Can we check our scores now?"

After hearing his mother's question, Chen Junqian calmly switched out of the game, opened the score checking website, entered his personal information but still saw a blank page, so he skillfully switched back to the game screen:

"Mom, it's not out yet. Have some water first. Why are you so nervous?"

"That's the college entrance exam after all, and your mom has already boasted that you'll at least be the top scorer in the city."

As a top student who dominated Guoning for six years starting from junior high school, never once losing his position as the top student in his grade or even the city, Wang Hongling often felt that her expectations for her son were not as high as those of other people in Guoning. In fact, decades ago, Guoning, a small county, also produced a provincial champion. However, because it was so long ago, everyone still hoped that while securing the city champion title, they could also make a breakthrough in the provincial rankings and be admitted to the top universities.

After all, Guo Ning hadn't been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University for a while. Not only the schools, but even Chen Junqian knew that the property management of his residential community had already prepared celebratory banners and was planning to put them up.

"What's there to panic about? The exam papers were submitted half a month ago, and the scores have been sitting in the server database for a long time. Panicking now won't give you an extra point, and not panicking won't make you lose a point. So just do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"really."

The younger sister next to her nodded in agreement. She felt that she had performed normally in the college entrance examination, so she didn't feel nervous at all. In fact, she was already thinking about the graduation banquet afterward.

Will I be hosting the event with my brother? When they're being taken around by their parents to toast guests, won't it feel a bit like a newlywed couple at a wedding?

"It's time to check."

As the time finally arrived at exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the parents hurriedly urged him again, so Chen Junqian had no choice but to switch to the score checking website again. However, due to the massive influx of hundreds of thousands of candidates and parents across the province at the same moment, the originally smooth webpage also froze instantly. A slowly rotating waiting circle appeared in the center, and the brother and sister entered their personal information, one using a computer and the other using a mobile phone.

"Ah, mine is out."

Before Chen Junqian could react, his younger sister had already seen the specific score:

Name: Chen Xi

Candidate Number: XXXXXXXXXXX

Registration Location: Senior High School Department, Guoning Middle School, Guoning City, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province

Exam Category: General (Liberal Arts)

Chinese: 121, Mathematics: 142, English: 145, Humanities: 258.

Total score: 666 points, provincial ranking: 23

"What an auspicious score!"

"Quickly take a screenshot and send it to the family group chat."

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Xi's score. They couldn't even wait for her to take a screenshot herself; instead, they all raised their phones and started taking pictures of her screen. Chen Xi's mother even called her husband, eager to spread the good news as soon as possible.

"But I was surprised that all 23 cases in the province could be detected. I thought it would be temporarily blocked like in those TV dramas."

"Those usually have to be in the top ten in the province. This is mainly to avoid hyping up the top scorer, but in fact, the hype still has to be done every year, just like the imperial examination in ancient times."

While answering Gu Linguo's questions, Chen Junqian refreshed the page again, and his information appeared. However, just as everyone's eyes instinctively moved down, eager to find the specific numbers and rankings for Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Comprehensive, and the total score, they all found nothing.

In the center of the grade table, which should have been filled with densely packed numbers, lay a neat blank space. At the very top of that blank space was a system notification box marked in bold red font, size 2:

[Note: According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Admissions Committee regarding further standardizing the release of college entrance examination scores, your ranking is among the top in the province. Specific scores and rankings will not be released to you individually at this time. Please wait for further consultation from relevant universities.]

In fact, given Chen Junqian's outstanding performance over the years, Wang Hongling was aware of the concept of academic performance masking. However, when she actually saw that this person was "among the top in the province," coupled with the statement that "only the top ten usually receive this treatment," she froze completely, her mind going blank as if countless dazzling fireworks were simultaneously blooming in the night sky.

"Top ten in the province, that should be enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, right?"

After a long while, one of the aunties finally murmured something like this: "It just goes to show how terrifyingly deep the obsession of Chinese parents with Tsinghua and Peking University is." However, this remark broke the silence, and everyone immediately started chattering away.

"That's definitely enough, and someone might call Junqian soon."

What call?

"The admissions office, haven't you seen it in TV dramas? Some students are begging to go to university, while some students are begging to go to university, especially those who are top scorers in the province."

"They haven't said he's the provincial champion yet, have they?"

"I'm confident. Xiaoxi is already in the twenties, and Junqian's grades have always been better than hers, haven't they?"

Chen Xi herself had no objection to being used as a stepping stone and having her limelight stolen. After sharing her achievements in the group, she quickly saw other people's screenshots.

This year's cutoff score for liberal arts majors was 550, a full 35 points higher than last year. Fortunately, everyone still managed to surpass the cutoff. Even Xu Youwei, who had the worst grades, scored 563. Lin Mu approached 600, with a final score of 596. As for Zhu Wenjun, whom Chen Xi was most concerned about and whose grades were closest to hers, she didn't show up for a while. After a while, she finally posted, "I've been blocked too."

It can only be said that after a whole year of not devoting herself to writing a new book and instead turning most of her energy and time back to studying, the literary girl has shown her dominance. Considering that she also has the bonus points from the New Concept Writing Competition, she is already a candidate to enter Tsinghua or Peking University.

After waiting for a while, just as Chen Junqian had expected, calls came in from the admissions offices of various prestigious universities:

"Are you Chen Junqian from Guoning Middle School? I am Li, the deputy head of the admissions office of Peking University in charge of liberal arts admissions in your province."

"Hello, Teacher Li, I am Chen Junqian."

Upon hearing the person's voice on the other end of the phone, Teacher Li's tone noticeably rose an octave, her enthusiasm almost overflowing from the receiver:

"Oh my! Junqian, congratulations! That's wonderful news! First of all, on behalf of Peking University, I extend my warmest congratulations to you. Did you see the system notification? Was it completely blank? Hahahaha!"

"Yes, Ms. Li, I just saw the notification."

"Junqian, system blocking is the rule, but our admissions team has the core roster that the provincial examination authority just declassified. I can now give you some definite information with absolute certainty—"

"This year, there are 175,000 liberal arts students in the province. Your score is not only in the top ten in the province... you have left everyone else behind you. You are the top liberal arts student in the province this year, a true champion in liberal arts in Anhui Province!"

Provincial champion!

First place in the entire province!

Wang Hongling felt a wave of dizziness and slumped backward. Fortunately, her relative caught her just in time. Compared to how much money she made, the impact of giving birth to a top scholar was far greater on her mother's worldview, whose education level was less than junior high school.

"Junshuo, my friend, you can choose any of the liberal arts programs at Peking University. As long as you agree, our admissions team's car will be on its way from Hefei to your city of Guoning right now. We can be downstairs today, and we'll sign the agreement tonight! What do you think?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Junqian's phone suddenly beeped with a call waiting notification. Another Beijing landline number popped up on the screen. Chen Junqian glanced at it and said with a hint of unease:

"Teacher Li, I just received a call. Let me check it first."

Before Teacher Li could even yell in a panic, "Don't answer! That's Tsinghua University next door!" Chen Junqian had already switched the call. Sure enough, just as the other party said, it was Tsinghua's admissions office. Then came a barrage of calls. At first, he was a little excited, but in the end, he simply handed them all over to his enthusiastic mother.

The same was true for Zhu Wenyun. In fact, if it weren't for Chen Junqian being the top scorer in the province, she would have been the absolute star of Guoning's college entrance examination this year, with an even more dazzling aura. A day later, the two of them finally received their specific scores and rankings.

Chen Junqian scored a total of 705 points, with 131 points in Chinese, 150 points in Mathematics, 149 points in Foreign Language, and 275 points in Humanities. She ranked first in the province, and what's most impressive is that she left the second place by nearly 30 points. Zhu Wenyun, who ranked third in the province, had a total score of 677 points, and the second place had one more point than her.

The news spread quickly, after all, Chen Junqian's name was too familiar to the local residents of Guoning. Occasionally, someone would not remember him for a moment, but the person next to him would remind him that he was the kid who had always been the top student in the grade.

What if I still can't remember?

What about the "Three Fierce Xus" that started locally and became a nationwide bestseller? What about those overused background music tracks that I keep hearing on social media lately? What about Wen Mei, the romance novelist whose name is always on my lips in bookstores? What about the Chinese Character Dictation Competition that was once a nationwide sensation?

For the people of Guoning, Chen Junqian is the most familiar child who has lived here since childhood. Everyone has seen him on their way to and from school, on the ridges of the fields in the countryside, at the stalls in the vegetable market, or on TV reports. And once you meet him, you will have a deep impression of him.

In a sense, he is a legend here.

In the classrooms of high school freshmen, sophomores, and even junior high students who were still in class and hadn't started summer vacation, Gu Linguo would puff out her chest with a bit of pride when the homeroom teacher talked about Chen Junqian. Suddenly, she realized the appeal of those idol characters in anime romantic comedies. Hehehe, so this is the kind of personality and image you all have of him? He's completely different in front of me.

The next step is to fill out the college application form.

Because he had already made a promise with Shen Nianqiu and genuinely wanted to study at a university in Shanghai, Chen Junqian ultimately "brought up" everyone's expectations. Even Zhu Wenda and Chen Xi felt the same way. However, the school wanted a Tsinghua or Peking University student mainly for publicity, and in that respect, the title of provincial champion was already enough. Therefore, although they felt somewhat regretful, they still accepted Chen Junqian's idea, since they couldn't really force him to fill out the application forms.

Xu Youwei and Lin Mu both applied to local schools in Shanghai. Compared to things like career prospects or school reputation, everyone was more concerned about the geographical distance. After all, according to Lin Mu, she hoped to rent a house outside. However, Shen Nianqiu immediately added that she had already taken care of it, giving Chen Junqian a strange feeling that even in college, this romantic comedy would continue.

"Now I can finally focus on writing my new book. Junqian has been preparing materials for so long, and I feel like it will be a super long novel."

After stretching lazily, Zhu Wenyun rested her chin on her hand and cast an inquiring glance at Chen Junqian:

"Is there anything else you'd like to add regarding this new book?"

"Hmm... then let me specify the final title."

"Okay, so what book title comes to mind, Junqian?"

To this question, Chen Junqian smiled and gave the answer he had already thought of.

"I Turn Reality into a Romantic Comedy"

PS2: More words will be saved in the ending remarks later. In short, the main story ends here. Thank you all for your company over the past year and five months. Thank you so much.

Author's Closing Remarks

I suddenly realized that the last time I wrote a closing statement was two or three years ago. The main reason is that I have only written three books in the past few years, including this one. I haven't written a closing statement for the "Real Teaching" book because I haven't been able to write the extra chapters yet. In order to prevent this situation from happening again, I decided to write one this time.

Without a doubt, this book is the one I regret writing the most in my creative career so far. If you had read it from the beginning, you would know that the situation at the beginning was quite difficult. It was completely rejected during the trial phase. However, because I had thought about this subject matter a long time ago and it had special significance for me, I still wrote it in the end. The final result is enough to satisfy me. I am really grateful to the many people who liked and supported me, which made me persevere.

Although the timeline of the final volume progressed very quickly, for me I had already finished writing all the main plots and outlines I wanted to write. Of course, I could expand on it to write many side stories and daily life, and it would be easy to expand the book to three million words in the end. However, two million seven hundred thousand words is already an absolute long novel for this genre and track of online novels, so I decided to speed it up a bit.

Actually, I mentioned when I started the book that one of the inspirations for this book was Huang Quan's "Entering the Love Game After Revision". Many people said they couldn't see it, but it should be quite obvious in the last volume. In the end, it was successfully revised. This will also be explained in more detail in the extra chapter.

However, this book is still the main story, and like the previous two, it will have additional personal side stories added later, since there are still some characters whose stories haven't been written yet (not specifically referring to any childhood sweetheart who ran away at the last minute). There will also be an "if" storyline side story, which I mentioned in the group before. It's about Chen Junqian in his second playthrough encountering the female protagonists who are also in their second playthrough (or should I say third playthrough?). At the beginning of the book, while someone is complaining to the system that reality is not a romantic comedy at all, his achievement list starts flashing with achievements in a humorous world.

So for the next period of time, I will basically be writing the side stories of this book and the "Real Education" book, and also preparing for the new book. I have already thought of the theme and inspiration for the new book. It will still be an original harem work with an urban theme, but this time the male protagonist will start as a college student. This is one of the reasons why the book does not start with college. I will also tell everyone in the book when it is released.

In conclusion, thank you all for your continued reading and support. I wish you good health and all the best in the days to come. If this book has brought you even a little bit of memory or happiness, I will be happy enough.
