Indirect kissing is an indispensable element in romantic comedies, and straws are one of the most commonly used props. There are innocent types who unknowingly bite the same straw and only realize it later with blushing and a racing heart, thinking, "I think I indirectly kissed the other person." There are also scheming types who deliberately bite the straw their crush used when the crush is not around.

Of course, both of them are cute.

Condition for achievement: Share a straw with the female lead who is suited for romantic comedies.

This was first achieved by Shen Nianqiu.

18. [Summer is the perfect time to wear sunscreen!]

[Without a doubt, summer is the season with the most fan service (fan service) scenes in romantic comedies, and there are naturally many different kinds of play derived from this, with applying sunscreen being one of the representative works.]

Whether it's applying sunscreen to the heroine's back as she lies on the beach untying her bra strap, or watching her accidentally squeeze the milky white liquid of sunscreen onto other parts of her body, leaving a slightly sticky feeling, the moment warm hands combined with the cool, damp sunscreen touch the skin is the perfect way to capture the most wonderful expressions. Go try it!

Condition for completion: Actively apply sunscreen to the female lead who is suited for romantic comedies once in the summer.

This was first achieved by Shen Nianqiu.

19. [You smell so good]

As we all know, the male protagonist of a romantic comedy is sometimes like a human aphrodisiac. This is not only reflected in how they can easily win the favor of the female protagonists just by patting their heads, but also in the scent they exude.

That's why there are female protagonists who can wear their boyfriend's shirt and say that the scent makes them feel at ease, female protagonists who can throw themselves on the male protagonist's bed, hug his bedding and pillows, and bury their heads in the scent. If you want to be a bit more daring, there will also be mysterious characters who secretly take away the clothes you just took off.

Of course, the above scenarios could also lead the story in a strange direction; please see the related entries for this achievement for details.

Conditions for achieving this: The female protagonist, who is adaptable to romantic comedies, takes the initiative to smell her clothes, bedding, pillows, and other personal items and makes statements such as "it's reassuring" or "it smells nice."

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

20. [Of course, romantic comedies need fan service (benefits)]

[As the saying goes, fan service has always been a staple in romantic comedies. Whether it's swimsuit episodes, hot spring episodes, maid cafe episodes from school festivals, Rito's wrestling match, Touma's door-opening scene, or various lucky pervert segments, it all boils down to fan service! (sound)]

Even if this is the real world, and even if the guidance has been broken, please rebuild the glory of the male protagonist in a romantic comedy.

Achievement conditions: In daily life, seeing or experiencing fan service scenes and services from heroines who are suitable for romantic comedies through various means, and 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.

21. [Unexpected situations always occur frequently in the broadcasting room.]

As a way to highlight the characters' personalities and endearing traits, and to create laughs or heart-fluttering moments by taking advantage of the unique 'social awkwardness' of public places, the various unexpected events in the radio studio are frequently used in various romantic comedies.

Whether it's forgetting to turn off the microphone and letting the entire school hear their cross-server chat or ambiguous conversation, overcoming nervousness to bravely announce their feelings to everyone, or inadvertently revealing their innermost thoughts while searching for someone, the moment the female protagonists stand in the broadcasting room, a classic scene of a romantic comedy is formed, and the show begins.

Conditions for achieving this: The female protagonist, who is suited for romantic comedy, completes any one of the above-mentioned scenarios in the broadcasting room.

This was first achieved by Lin Mu.

You were by my side before the end of the world.

Chapter 1: The New Year Has Arrived (Part 2)

Another year is coming to an end.

2011 is the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese lunar calendar, and the Spring Festival is earlier than last year. February 2nd is Lunar New Year's Eve, and February 3rd is Lunar New Year's Day.

Looking at the newly changed calendar on the wall, checking what was auspicious and inauspicious for the day, and passing the time by reading about the lucky and unlucky days for each zodiac sign, Chen Junqian, feeling bored, called over his little monster and had it warm up by the fire pit with him, while also stroking its head and chin.

In rural areas, the proportion of people who keep dogs far exceeds those who keep cats. However, Chen Junqian's family used to have a familiar stray cat. Every winter, it would arrogantly run over to warm itself by the fire pit, and it would come over to mooch food during mealtimes. In the early morning, you could even see it sleeping in the still-warm chimney. But later, I don't know if it moved to another place or if something happened to it, it never came back.

If this were a romantic comedy world, she might turn into a catgirl and come back to repay a debt of gratitude in a few years. But considering the tradition of not allowing beings to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she is probably really dead.

"The weather forecast says it will snow this year."

Sitting next to Chen Junqian, his father poked at the embers in the brazier with fire tongs, then grabbed a handful of soybeans from the cupboard next to him, put them on the fire shovel, and roasted them over the embers. He glanced at the dark sky outside the window and said something like this.

"It's good that it's snowing. It's been a long time since it snowed in Guoning. The last time was around Christmas at the end of last year. But it was just a light snow like rain, and it didn't pile up at all. All the students in the class were so disappointed."

Speaking of Christmas, Chen Junqian recalled the Christmas and birthday gift that Zhu Wenyun gave him this year. Since the second day of the twelfth lunar month this year was January 5th, which is not far from Christmas and New Year's Day, he gave it to her at the same time.

It was still a pair of gloves, but unlike last year, every stitch of this year's gloves was made by Zhu Wenyun herself. Moreover, unlike the half-finger gloves that were popular in the class during winter for writing, these were full-finger gloves that could completely and warmly wrap the fingers. They were made of solid materials and the craftsmanship was skillful.

Lin Mu still wrote a greeting card, but also included a small handmade cross-stitch as a birthday gift. It was a brightly colored peach blossom, probably because she happened to see the peach blossom refrigerator magnet on her refrigerator while she was stitching it.

Xu Youwei... Does it count if Xu Youwei spent the whole day playing happily with him? Anyway, that's how it is according to her. Although she said something like she would grant any wish she wanted on this day, Chen Junqian wouldn't actually make a wish to an elementary school student. After all, his dad has almost gone from being the MVP of the family to a kind of passive winner.

Shen Nianqiu also sent him a personalized e-card via QQ Mail. It just goes to show that technology is indeed very convenient sometimes. A beautiful e-card that costs ten or twenty yuan to buy in a store can be made online with just a little effort by finding some free templates. QQ Mail even thoughtfully added a splash screen effect, so the user experience was quite good.

"You kids probably hope for heavy snow so you can build snowmen and have snowball fights, but if it really snows heavily, it's inconvenient to go out, and the roads can easily become icy and slippery."

Having probably eaten this way often before, Chen Jun easily controlled the time and heat. After letting the roasted soybeans cool down, he started eating them one by one for fun, and also tossed a handful to Chen Junqian.

Although it doesn't have much flavor, it's quite crispy and fragrant, and it seems like a good snack to pass the time.

It's the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. As in previous years, Chen Xi and his family will come over to celebrate the Little New Year with Chen Junqian's family in a little while, and then they will meet again on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

“Two old men, come over and move the table down, and bring the brazier over too.”

The father and son didn't have much time to relax before they heard a greeting from the front. So they clapped their hands and got up. One of them carried the brazier to the front hall, while the other took the round table that was leaning against the corner of the wall and pushed it over vertically. Then the two of them carried it to the small square table where they used to eat, and then covered it with a disposable tablecloth. That was it.

While the two of them were busy lighting the alcohol stove and serving the dishes, Chen Xi's family also arrived. Unlike his parents, who came in with gifts and greeted him politely, Chen Xi brought a gust of cold wind with her as soon as she entered. She said, "It's so cold!" and sat down next to Chen Junqian. She didn't even take off the hood of her down jacket and put her hands directly on the brazier. She looked like she was really freezing.

Is it that cold outside?

Subconsciously, Chen Junqian reached out and squeezed his younger sister's small hands, which were a little white and stiff from the cold. He then wrapped his own hands, which were also particularly warm from warming himself by the fire for a long time, around Chen Xi's hand and asked her with concern.

"That's all Dad's fault. He said he'd be here soon and told Mom and me to go downstairs and wait, but he never came."

With a slightly dissatisfied snort, Chen Xi then took advantage of the situation and slipped her other hand, which wasn't covered, into Chen Junqian's sleeve, grasping his warm wrist and forearm. She shook her head and threw off the hood, revealing a pair of small pigtails and earmuffs.

"Brother told me to warm it up for a while—".

After all, he's been a 'master of anime' for over a year, having officially become an otaku and been watching and catching up on anime in real time. Plus, with "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" and "Yosuga no Sora" airing in October 2010, Chen Junqian can now barely understand the ridiculous system in his mind's strange enthusiasm for the "little sister" attribute.

That's why his achievement list has a whole bunch of sister-related achievements that are currently impossible to unlock.

Although Chen Junqian felt that he could easily trick Chen Xi into making some feints or saying famous lines, since the person probably didn't even know what "Onii-chan" meant.

Unfortunately, my adopted sister, who has no blood relation to me, has not yet been included in the system as a female lead with the suitability for romantic comedies, so using her to farm achievements is not an option. I already proved this once in the movie theater last year.

"Want some egg rolls?"

Because Chen Xi would come upstairs to play with him whenever he had free time during the past year, Chen Junqian had now completely mastered the other's tastes and preferences, and feeding him was incredibly easy. If there were achievements to be made, he probably would have already made Chen Xi say "Come...ah" hundreds of times.

"Okay, okay."

On the one hand, she was indeed warming her hands, and on the other hand, she had gotten used to Chen Junqian's feeding behavior. Chen Xi said this, but her hands remained motionless until Chen Junqian released one of her hands to take the egg roll next to her and put it to her mouth. Only then did she take a bite.

At this time, there are generally two types of old-fashioned egg rolls. One type is the cylindrical egg roll commonly found in cake shops, which is the kind of egg roll that Xu Youwei would take him to eat every now and then to scraps.

The other type is the kind he's feeding his sister now, which is flatter and wider in shape and has a sugar filling. Chen Junqian likes both of them.

"Amam, Amam."

Watching Chen Xi happily eating, her only activity being her mouth, Chen Junqian recalled the story his grandmother had told him when he was little about a lazy child who was so lazy that he didn't even bother to turn the pancake hanging around his neck, and who starved to death after only eating the piece next to his mouth. He felt that his dear little sister was almost developing that kind of potential.

However, the adults chatting in the kitchen at the time were quite pleased with the interaction between the two children, and could even say they were happy to see it happen.

"Actually, I felt that Junqian was a promising kid a couple of years ago. Every time I came here, I would see him reading a book. Now, his knowledge and experience are beyond what a child should have. I can't even keep up with him."

As the person who was brought into the company by Chen Junqian, Chen Xi's father has indeed been riding high lately. After all, the sales figures of the nut direct sales online store may not be much for the entire company, but for him personally, it is a considerable achievement. Therefore, he is not stingy with his praise for Chen Junqian, and it feels like he is just short of saying, "My godnephew Junqian has the potential to be an emperor."

“I used to worry that he and Xixi would be two quiet people together, never saying a word, but they've become friends in the last two years. Last year he even protected his sister at school. He's a great brother.”

It can only be said that as the company's sales manager, Chen Junqian's godfather's brother-in-law is truly skilled in the art of speaking. His flattering remarks made Chen Junqian's parents and grandparents beam with joy. After all, who doesn't like to hear compliments about their son/grandson?

However, Chen Junqian is indeed worthy of this praise. After all, not every child can be a top student every year, be ranked first in their grade, perform acts of bravery and receive an award banner, and even offer business advice.

“Xixi really likes Junqian. When she came over this morning, she kept urging me, ‘Mommy, Mommy, shouldn’t we go to my brother’s house?’”

As she spoke, Chen Xi's godmother glanced at the two children playing and feeding each other in the front hall, and a smile simultaneously appeared on her face:

“Junqian is a good boy and he takes good care of his younger sister. We are very relieved that Xixi is close to him.”

"Oh, I'd be content if she could learn even half of what Junqian is good about."

Feeling that if they didn't eat soon, this mutual flattery among relatives could continue for a while longer, Chen Junqian quickly called out to the back, "Mom, hurry up and eat, Xixi is hungry," after hearing the loud conversation that could be heard in front of him. This called everyone out, and they all sat down at the table to eat.

At the dinner table, the adults naturally talked about adult things, and the children talked about children's things. While her father was talking to her uncle about some work-related matters, Chen Junqian also talked to her sister about the book she had been reading recently.

"My biggest achievement last year was finishing the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Not the youth version, but the original version with annotations. Pretty impressive, right?"

When Chen Xi said this, he was quite proud. After all, for a fourth-grade student, it was already quite remarkable that he was willing to read such a long original book. Moreover, judging from Chen Xi's words, he was not the kind of person who just skimmed through it and said he had finished reading it without knowing anything. Instead, he was really reading it very seriously and could even talk to him about some parts that he found interesting.

"Firstly, when playing 'Three Kingdoms Kill' with friends, I no longer misread the names of the characters or their courtesy names. I also know why each character's skill is called that, such as Xu Chu's 'Naked Clothes,' Cao Cao's 'Cunning Hero,' and Guo Jia's 'Last Plan.' It feels quite rewarding."

"Then, you'll find that some descriptions in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' are quite exaggerated, even to the point of being a bit funny. For example, when Cheng Yu introduced Xu Shu to Cao Cao, he said that Xu Fu's talent was ten times that of him. When Xu Shu introduced Zhuge Liang, he said that Kongming's talent was ten times that of him. And when Zhuge Liang introduced Pang Tong, he said that Fengchu's talent was ten times that of him."

"If we follow this logic, then at Luofeng Slope, if Zhang Ren shot an arrow, wouldn't that be equivalent to wiping out an entire reinforced company of Cheng Yu?"

It must be admitted that Chen Xi does have a talent for telling jokes; at least Chen Junqian was genuinely amused by her words and replied with a smile:

"That's true. If it were a game, Pang Tong should be able to be broken down into a thousand Cheng Yu fragments."

Today, the traditional earthen stove in the farmhouse still steamed out fragrant rice crusts. However, this time Chen Xi didn't use it to spread with fermented bean curd and crunch it. Instead, she asked Chen Junqian's grandmother to add rice water to make rice crust soup. She sipped it slowly while telling Chen Junqian about how she hadn't wanted to eat for the past two days, and her mother had made her rice with lard.

"I've never eaten this before. It turns out that just adding lard and a little soy sauce to a bowl and mixing it with white rice makes it incredibly fragrant. I ate a whole bowl even without any other dishes. But my mom says I can't eat this often, because it's bad for my health if I eat too much, which is a real shame."

"It's really good. It's quite delicious to eat once in a while when you don't have an appetite. But you definitely can't stand eating it every day, just like barbecue at a buffet."

It was around the time of the Little New Year, and the crackling of firecrackers could be heard from other houses outside. Chen Xi, who had just finished a whole bowl of crispy rice soup, hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to her mother, who was sitting on the other side of her, in a coquettish tone:

"Mom, did you agree to what I told you before?"

"I can't agree to this even if I want to. Why don't you ask your brother?"

"What?"

Chen Junqian looked up with some confusion, and then heard his godmother say to him:

"Actually, Xixi just wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner at her grandma's house and then come to your place to stay up all night together."

"Because Grandpa and Grandma always go to bed very early, and there aren't any other kids there to play with. Dad and Mom also run off to play mahjong right after their New Year's Eve dinner, right? Anyway, I'll be coming to my brother's place for a New Year's visit and dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so what's the big deal about sleeping here for one night? Plus, my brother can play with me, right, brother?"

Faced with his sister blinking her eyes and looking at him expectantly, Chen Junqian felt that he had no other option but to nod and agree.

Well, now he's starting to understand more and more of the system's crazy, anime-like pronouncements, like "a sister has the right to be willful with her brother" and "isn't it common sense for a brother to grant his sister's requests?"

Looking at the long list of achievements in the system's achievement list, such as "[Unexpectedly living under the same roof?]", "[Because she's my sister, it's no problem]", "[Does anyone not want to be called Onii-chan by their sister?]", "[The only one who can take away the right to wake up from their childhood friend is their sister]", and so on, Chen Junqian couldn't help but fall into deep thought again, but he didn't forget to nod first.

"Great--"

Seeing his sister's beaming smile, Chen Junqian smiled as well.

Well, he never intended to spoil his sister for any achievement.

Chapter Two: Seeing You Makes Me Feel Safe (Part Two)

Unlike last year when he still needed to borrow his father's phone, this year Chen Junqian has his own smartphone that can access the internet. However, it wasn't bought for him by his family, but rather given to him by Zhu Wenyun.

Although she was quite hesitant about how to spend the money when she first received it, once she decided what to buy, she didn't hesitate at all. Besides buying her grandmother a few boxes of peach shortbread, she directly exchanged the three thousand yuan for two identical smartphones, one for herself and the other for Chen Junqian.

Unfortunately, as a child from a poor family, Zhu Wenyun could only access the internet during the weekly computer class, let alone QQ. She could only briefly touch the online world during those short 45 minutes. Therefore, she and Chen Junqian were basically out of contact during holidays. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the market to look for her.

Of course, Chen Junqian is keeping the matter of this phone a secret from his family for the time being. It's not that he's worried his parents won't let him play on the phone secretly. After all, even if a child doesn't get first place in their grade, it's normal for them to play on their phone or computer during holidays.

The main problem is that he can't explain where the phone came from. After all, it's common for elementary school students to exchange gifts, but giving a phone worth a thousand yuan is a bit exaggerated. He'll probably naturally think of a bunch of random things, which makes it quite difficult to explain.

In fact, Chen Junqian was also a little surprised when he first received the phone and subconsciously wanted to refuse it. However, Zhu Wenyun simply said that if he didn't want it, he could just keep it and not use it, but he should remember to charge it. She said it was for the convenience of the two of them to keep in touch. Then she added Chen Junqian as a friend using the QQ account she had just registered, and got SIM cards for both phones. She even chose two new phone numbers with consecutive last two digits.

Anyway, by the time Chen Junqian got his phone back, Zhu Wenyun's name was already in his contacts, and he was even automatically set as an emergency contact by the system.

On the evening of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, just as Chen Junqian was at home alone in his room, methodically finishing his winter vacation homework for the day, and preparing to wash his face and feet and go to bed for a rest, his phone, which was placed beside his bed, suddenly rang again. However, it wasn't a ringtone; instead, a slightly deep and hoarse male voice read out a sentence:

"You must come to my wedding, because seeing you will make me feel safe."

Then came the line, "Light up the cigarette you always smoke, to deceive my insatiable sense of smell."

Oh, Chen Junqian's current ringtone is Xu Liang's solo single "Fan Jian" released at the end of last year. Compared to the other two members of the non-mainstream trio, Xu Song and Wang Sulong, Xu Liang's debut and rise to fame were a year or two later, but he is indeed the most non-mainstream one.

By the way, Zhu Wenyun chose Hai Mingwei's single "The Old Man and the Sea" as her ringtone. She was mainly attracted by the name first, and after listening to it, she found it quite catchy. She remembers that the shop assistant who had strongly recommended Korean dramas such as "Boys Over Flowers" and "Full House" to her looked disappointed.

"Hey, Wenjun."

Since Zhu Wenyun was the only person who knew that this phone number would call, Chen Junqian answered the phone and immediately called out the other person's name.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me so late?"
