I turned reality into a romantic comedy

She also had her own little selfish motives.

On this point alone, Zhu Wenyun and Chen Junqian shared similar thoughts.

No matter how wonderful other people's stories are, they are still other people's stories. What she should write next is her own story with him.

As for the one that has been published now.

Consider it a gift for Lin Mu.

After all, without the two hundred yuan the other party had lost, their story would never have begun.

----------------------------------

As we enter the last two months of the year, time seems to fly by even more, especially when nothing major happens.

However, ever since he became Xu Youwei's deskmate, Chen Junqian has become the first victim of her strange little toys, whether it's a small device disguised as Wrigley's gum that produces an electric shock when pulled, or fake teeth that look like vampire teeth when worn in the mouth.

For a long time, meeting Xu Youwei every morning felt like a Martin morning; I was almost looking forward to seeing what new gadgets she would pull out this time.

Outside of school hours, the two also made the most of their long time after school.

Chen Junqian wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Xu Youwei had suddenly become much wealthier since the start of this semester. Before, when the two of them went to the park to play water polo, they would have to haggle with the hut manager for ages over the price. Now, when they went to ride bumper cars together and enjoyed a private experience, they paid without batting an eye.

While Chen Junqian and Xu Youwei's relationship was growing closer, Zhang Xinghuo's work was also in full swing.

Thanks to Chen Junqian's advice and help in recruiting others, his journey in this timeline is even smoother than in the original timeline.

In November 2010, just before Taobao's second Double Eleven event, Kekeguo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhan's Group and the first direct-sale nut store in Guoning, which had been in preparation for nearly a year, was officially approved and launched on Juhuasuan. While achieving nearly one million yuan in sales in one day, it immediately started to implement ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) based on the real-time situation, and began to adjust and improve various modules of e-commerce operations, striving to continue to grow and strengthen the online store model in 2011.

Just as Lin Mu's father was watching with great interest how far e-commerce, which had been initially proven to be feasible, could go, and Chen Junqian's uncle, having tasted success, was determined to continue following Zhang Xinghuo to the end, Chen Junqian's father also underwent a personnel change.

"During the annual meeting, Chairman Xu approached me privately."

As he said this, Chen Jun unconsciously glanced at his good son, his tone a mixture of joy and hesitation:

"He said that the company plans to open a branch factory in Tangshan, Hebei next year through a joint venture with a company there. He asked me if I would be willing to take on more responsibility and become the person in charge there as the deputy factory director. He also asked me to be transferred to an office as an accountant."

Although it may seem like a transfer to another place at first glance, in fact, the salary and benefits and professional titles are far better than now. Moreover, if you make achievements, you can probably be promoted to a senior management position in a few years after you come back.

If Chen Jun hadn't known that his son had an unusual relationship with Chairman Xu's daughter, he would have really thought that some kind of pie had fallen from the sky and landed on his head. He could only say that he never expected that after working diligently for more than 30 years, the first time he would have to rely on connections was through his own eleven or twelve-year-old son.

"I think it's a good thing."

Chen Junqian was the first to raise his hand in agreement. After all, he had long wanted his parents to change their positions. In their previous life, the two of them had died in a production accident at a factory. Now, changing their positions to management or office work would be a good way to avoid the accident that happened two years later.

Although Wang Hongling was quite tempted, she still hesitated and asked her husband one more question:

"But if you go to Tangshan, it seems like you won't be able to come back more than a few times a year, right?"

"Yes, I expect he'll be very busy, and he is indeed far from here. I guess he can only come back during the Chinese New Year. But if you and your son miss me, you can come and stay for a few days during the summer vacation. Chairman Xu said he can approve the leave."

In fact, Chen Jun himself certainly wanted to advance further in his career. Anyway, his son's relationship was still a relationship, and since he had this opportunity, he was determined to seize it, just like how he was able to become a workshop director more than ten years later when he entered the factory penniless.

"Then you go."

After all, they had been married for over ten years, and Wang Hongling naturally understood her husband's meaning, so she stopped trying to dissuade him.

"You don't need to worry about things at home. Our son is very sensible, and I will take good care of our parents. You can just focus on your work outside."

"Okay, then I'll talk to Chairman Xu about it tomorrow. We should be heading to Tangshan after the New Year."

After watching his parents discussing specific matters for a while, Chen Junqian glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall next to him.

2010 is coming to an end.

The influence of his butterfly wings is visibly growing, and many people and things around him have already changed.

However, at least for now, everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

How many more good years like this will we have in the future?

Like a child eagerly anticipating the New Year, he felt a genuine sense of happiness from the most ordinary of things.

(End of Volume 1)

A list of achievements in Romantic Comedy in Volume 1

1. Childhood Friend: As we all know, a childhood friend is always an indispensable character in romantic comedies. Since it's become a fixed trope that the childhood friend easily loses to the newcomer, having the childhood friend consistently win becomes a counter-trope?

(Condition for achievement: Successfully establish a childhood friendship with a female protagonist who is suited for romantic comedies)

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

2. Agreement (約束, Yakusoku): The so-called childhood agreement is that it will inevitably be gradually forgotten by one party in the years to come. At the same time, all the past memories of the other person will fall into the black hole of time. Every word and every sentence, the memories you cherished, will be nothing but the bones left by time when only you remember them, worthless.

Of course, they usually reappear at some point as the last straw or the last boomerang that a drowning person grasps at.

(Condition for achieving this: Make an important childhood promise with a female protagonist who is suited for romantic comedies)

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

3. [Time to get up!]

As everyone knows, a childhood friend who can't wake up her childhood friend isn't a good loser, especially when the male protagonist hasn't been beaten to the punch by his sister who lives closer. She can even smoothly launch a series of moves while saying, "Oh dear, what would I do if XX-kun didn't have me?" while starting to make breakfast. This is truly a classic lesson that every childhood friend must learn.

Achievement conditions: Being woken up by the female protagonist who is recognized as your childhood friend, achieving key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., all count as completing one achievement.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

4. [Don't be so sloppy!]

After waking the male protagonist up, it's time to go to school. Helping him get dressed and straighten his tie is also a must-do for childhood sweethearts. Even after getting to know each other, some close physical contact can still make your heart flutter occasionally.

Achievement conditions: The female protagonist, who is recognized as your childhood friend, carefully tidies her clothes before going out. Reaching key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., will count as completing one achievement.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

5. [The Library's Telepathic Connection]:

[I'm daydreaming again, imagining that deep within the library, there's always a literary girl with an ancient book tied to her with a red string, softly reciting Heian period waka poems and smiling at me. Our eyes meet again and again in the gaps between the spines of the books on the shelves, until our fingertips and souls are inadvertently intertwined because of the same book.]

[Condition for achieving this: Touch the same book three times simultaneously in the library with a heroine who is suited for romantic comedies]

This was first achieved by Zhu Wenyun.

6. [Can you hear of a palm strike that descends from the sky?]

The head pat, a classic scene in romantic comedies with a near 100% screen time, has almost become a standard action for every male protagonist in a romantic comedy. After all, who can resist the super positive feedback of a blushing and heart-pounding heroine just by gently placing their hand on the other person's head?

Achievement conditions: Pat a female protagonist with romantic comedy suitability on the head for at least three seconds. Reaching key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., will count as completing one achievement.

This was first achieved by Hsu Yu-Wei.

7. [“Come on…ah—”]

Whether it's feeding play or being fed play, it's always been an indispensable classic element in romantic comedies. If chopsticks or a spoon are used, it usually involves a further mysterious contact called indirect kissing. If hands are used, the accidental touch between fingertips and lips can also make your heart flutter. I recommend hard, long cookies like Pocky.

Achievement conditions: Engage in feeding or being fed play with a female protagonist who is suited for romantic comedy. Reaching key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, or one thousand times will count as completing one achievement.

This was first achieved by Hsu Yu-Wei.

8. [Essential for lovingly prepared bento boxes]

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. In romantic comedies, at least one of the female leads always seems to have cooking skills, and she'll hand over the bento box while saying classic lines like, "I didn't make this especially for you, I just bought extra ingredients."

Of course, even those seemingly dark or simple bento boxes contain the precious sentiments of the female protagonists. After all, who would dislike a girl who is willing to wash her hands and cook for them?

Achievement conditions: Being given a handmade bento by the female protagonist who is suited to romantic comedies. Reaching key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., will count as completing one achievement.

This was first achieved by Zhu Wenyun.

9. [The Scarf Entanglement Incident]

Winter is always white... cough cough, the most classic season for romantic comedies, loneliness and liveliness, cold and warmth, the contrast is always an element that makes people's hearts flutter.

Whether it's through passing objects or direct skin contact, it always manages to make the male and female protagonists blush and their hearts race at some point. So try sharing a scarf with the girls, using the subtle height difference to wrap the shorter female protagonists into a warm-looking dumpling, and then be forced to walk close together. Believe me, this is how to start a romantic comedy in winter.

Condition for achievement: Share the same scarf with the heroines who are suited for romantic comedies once.

This was first achieved by Hsu Yu-Wei.

10. [Secret Encounters at the Cinema]

As a classic setting where one can engage in innocent one-on-one flirting or playfully engage in public displays of affection, movie theaters have always been a frequent venue for romantic comedies. After all, who doesn't enjoy a little bit of physical contact, intentionally or unintentionally, in such a dimly lit yet crowded place?

Whether it's the fingertips accidentally touching each other in the same popcorn bucket, the tissue wiped away when the female lead cries over the movie plot, or legs pressed together, restless feet, you watching the movie and me watching yours, these are all the most innocent yet real heartbeats of youth.

Conditions for achieving this: Watch a movie together with the heroines who are suited for romantic comedies and achieve any of the above scenarios.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

11. [A matching umbrella for rainy days]

Sharing an umbrella with someone, or "ai ai ga sa" (相合), has always been a classic element in romantic comedies. After all, the area under the umbrella is usually considered private space, and allowing others to share private space is itself a form of recognition or tacit acceptance of an intimate relationship.

Moreover, in rainy or snowy weather, the umbrella itself becomes a symbol of protection. Sharing an umbrella with someone else means providing shelter to them or receiving shelter from them.

Of course, most importantly, if the person holding the umbrella isn't carrying a large double umbrella, there's often not enough space under it. So whether it's trying to get as close as possible to avoid getting wet and achieve direct physical contact, or thoughtfully tilting the umbrella brim towards the other person, these are all quite blush-inducing romantic comedy scenes.

Condition for achievement: Share an umbrella with the heroines who are suited for romantic comedies on a rainy or snowy day.

This was first achieved by Hsu Yu-Wei.

12. [Please give me your socks!]

As you know, socks are always one of the most important cute attributes of a cute girl. Whether it's ankle socks, short socks, folded socks, knee-high or over-the-knee pantyhose, or long black and white stockings with suspenders, each choice of socks can make their charm unique, and matching them with all kinds of shoes is the finishing touch.

That's why romantic comedies are never short of interactions in this regard. So whether you want to put her socks on or just watch her take them off, feel free to say, "Give me your socks!"

Conditions for achieving this: Say the above lines to the heroines who are suited for romantic comedies, and actually get her socks from her hands.

This was first achieved by Hsu Yu-Wei.

13. [Headphones for listening together]

Just as romantic as sharing a scarf with your partner is sharing an earphone. After all, just like a scarf, earphones are never designed for two people to each listen to one side, so their length will always be a bit of a constraint.

That's why, through this action itself, it's natural to achieve physical closeness and even contact between the two parties. Try pressing your face close to theirs; a girl willing to share her headphones with you won't refuse.

Condition for achievement: Share the same headphones with the female protagonist who is suited for romantic comedies.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

14. [Blow-drying hair is an advanced version of patting someone's head.]

It turns out that, compared to other parts of the body, the sensitivity of the heroines' heads in romantic comedies is always surprisingly high. Usually, just touching their heads is enough to make them blush, their hearts race, and they become so shy that they can't utter a single word.

Therefore, as an advanced version of patting the head, drying the heroine's hair has always been an indispensable part of romantic comedies. This is because the fact that this scene occurs means that she has just taken a shower in front of you, and that you have already reached this level of trust, so please don't hesitate any longer.

Condition for completion: Help a female protagonist with romantic comedy aptitude blow-dry her hair.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

15. [Facial Cleanser]

As an important fan service element in romantic comedies, face wash has always been a favorite among viewers. It is usually initiated by the female lead, who is unaware of her own hidden weapon, by hugging her. Whether intentional or unintentional, it is hoped that the male lead can say a line from a model opera, "I can't breathe," to show his respect.

Of course, in order to end the war between the flat-chested and large-breasted factions, we have thoughtfully prepared different achievements for the heroines who possess these two attributes.

Conditions for achieving this: Be held tightly in the arms of a female protagonist who is suited for romantic comedies, and complete the above actions intentionally or unintentionally. The dialogue is up to you.

This was first achieved by Shen Nianqiu.

16. [A Starry Sky for Two]

The stars shine so that one day everyone can find their own star.

The starry night sky is always the perfect backdrop for romantic comedies. It can be a precious memory shared with you, or a treasure that you once kept in your heart but now want to share with you.

If you understand constellations and astronomy, then reach out and point out the names of those stars to her, tell her about the Summer Triangle formed by Altair, Vega, and Deneb, and tell her that the brightest first-magnitude star, Spica, is actually a close binary star system that shines together.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand these things, because you can still point to this entire dazzling starry sky and say to her:

This is all I have, and now I'm giving it all to you.

Condition for achievement: Lie hand-in-hand with the heroines who are suited for romantic comedies, under the starry sky and watch the stars.

This was first achieved by Shen Nianqiu.

17. [The straw we drink from together]
