Chapter 1 begins!
Many years later, when Lin Jianlu sees the strained names of Chen Zhongli and Chen Ganyu on the newly registered household register, she will recall that noon at Cheng Xiuxiu's birthday party when Chen Chen suddenly rushed up to this new classmate and angrily confessed his feelings to her—
"Hello, I want you to 'excite' me, please go out with me!"
……
"Oh no, oh no, we shouldn't have encouraged him to date a rich woman!"
"No! It's not about dating a rich woman at all! It's his problem. Why did he confess his feelings to his new classmate the very first time they met?!"
Because today is the last day of the Frinna gacha banner...
Below the stage, looking at the furious student council member and the student counselor beside her, Lin Jianlu swallowed the braised pork she almost spat out and sighed awkwardly and helplessly.
But then her eyes widened.
A line of white text suddenly appeared out of nowhere before my eyes—
[The "Mom's Counterattack System" is activating, currently reading host information...]
What's going on? The system? Has the online novel come true?
At zero years old, you were born into this world with a cry. Shortly after birth, you had beautiful golden hair, and your mother, holding you, would boast to everyone she met, "My little deer will definitely grow up to be a great beauty!"
To be honest, having the host information displayed as a revolving scroll is really unlucky!
At the age of three, an accident caused your parents to temporarily leave you, and since then you have lived with your maternal grandparents in a village on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Temporary my foot! What kind of temporary thing can last for ten years or more?!
At seven years old, your neighbor, who had always taken care of you, moved to the city. Heartbroken, you thought you would never be able to play on her computer again. But unexpectedly, someone rented her small yard and inherited the computer she left behind. That person's child was named Chen Chen, and because of your neighborly relationship, you became his new playmate.
At this time, Chen Chen was small, shy, and timid. He never took the initiative to communicate with others at school and always hid behind you. As a result, you gained control over him and could monopolize his computer for a long time.
Control what the hell!? But... sigh, those were truly carefree days.
One day when you were eight years old, you were playing Giant City when Chen Chen suddenly came back crying. When you asked him what happened, you found out that someone had sung "Only Mother is Good in the World" in front of him. His saddest memory from his hometown was that someone laughed at him for not having a mother.
You smiled and said, "So what if I don't have a mom? It's no big deal." But he strongly objected, saying he'd break off all contact with you! That wouldn't do; how could you use his computer if you broke off contact? So you quickly explained that you didn't have a mom either, and you didn't have a dad either! Seeing that you were more motherless than him, he relented, and your relationship with him took another step forward.
Please, system, stop making me relive these dark times. I was young and reckless back then, and I didn't know any better. I do have a mother! I do have a mother!
Eleven years old...
No! System! System Daddy! Please stop talking!
At eleven, after your tutelage, Chen Chen gradually became more cheerful. However, this came at the cost of him being constantly surrounded by a group of shrewish girls who loved to speak ill of you. They even told Chen Chen that your favorite cartoon character took up too much memory and would slow down his computer, so they wanted to delete it. Upon learning this, you were furious and decided to give those bastards the most brutal punishment!
No! Don't make me remember those things!
So, on a dark and stormy night, when no one was home, you cornered Chen Chen against the wall and had a passionate encounter with him, leaving him with the domineering words, "I like you, you're not allowed to be with anyone else." It seems your entire mind was absorbed by that experience; Chen Chen never had any female friends again, gave you all his pocket money, and only had "I Love Fu" on his computer—even deleting his dad's "Celebrity Mahjong" game.
I want to die so badly...
At thirteen, Chen Chen had to return to his hometown to attend school after an accident involving his guardian, separating you from him. However, the memories of your childhood friendship kept you longing for each other...
I'll never miss him again! With his godlike appearance, I'll never miss him in my life!
At sixteen, Chen Chen makes a triumphant return! But amidst the joy of their reunion, you discover that besides becoming more handsome, he's also changed...
Look, isn't that him on stage? He's even turned into an OP general.
Eighteen years old...
Huh? How come there's even future projection?
At eighteen, you were admitted to an ordinary first-tier university. To your surprise, your best friend and your dearest childhood sweetheart, Chen Chen, also barely made it into the same university, and together you began a wonderful four-year college life.
Where is my best friend? Where is my cuteness? Where is my joy? Just knowing that he's going to the same university as me is enough to make me incredibly embarrassed!
[At twenty-two, four years of university have flown by. Thanks to your best friend, none of the lustful teenage boys dared to approach you—who actually suffers from athlete's foot, body odor, hemorrhoids, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, neurogenic epilepsy, Helicobacter pylori infection, and is also a single-player superhero. You've successfully remained single for four years! Congratulations! Congratulations!]
Chen Chen, you motherfucker... Oh my god, he doesn't have a mother!
At 23, after failing the civil service exam, you were almost desperate to find a suitable job when you unexpectedly landed a well-paying job as a print model. However, whether it was due to a lack of experience or your accent from northern Jiangsu, you were met with cold stares and exclusion from your peers as you went to work full of confidence.
But just when you felt suffocated and lonely at a crossroads in your life, Chen Chen stepped forward, picked up a manhole cover, and fiercely scared the group of gossipy women who had been laughing at you for being a simpleton. They no longer dared to ostracize you, and you began to change your opinion of Chen Chen.
Let's not even talk about the civil service exam. What's with the whole "being ostracized for speaking Northern Jiangsu dialect" nonsense? And why did Chen Chen have to use a manhole cover to scare people?! I want to report this! This system... it's fucking regionally discriminatory!
At 27, you were a well-known model in Shanghai and were pursued by many men. However, you were focused on your career and felt tired of them, so you asked your best friend Chen Chen to be your shield.
As a freelancer with plenty of free time, Chen Chen perfectly plays the role of your boyfriend, taking meticulous care of you every day when you come home tired. Every night, lying in the warm, cozy blankets he's aired out for you, you can't help but wonder, what if this charade became real...?
No! Absolutely not! Don't let this fake relationship become real! Please, don't let that absolute idiot ruin all my beautiful fantasies about love!
At thirty, your mother passes away, leaving you devastated. You regret your estrangement from her over the years and fall into a deep depression. Chen Chen takes on all the funeral arrangements that should have been your responsibility, allowing you a brief respite from this suffocating pain.
So, after a long and complicated period of thought, one quiet evening, you walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, sat under the swaying willow branches by the river, accepted the marriage certificate from Chen Chen, and leaned on his shoulder.
Oh my god... how come he got married? Damn it!
