"Online serialization!" Han Mingyue repeated confusedly: "Online serialization?" "Yes! Online serialization means uploading the novel online for people to read for free! Let me ask again, are you willing?" "...I’m willing! I don’t want my first full-length novel to have no readers at all! As long as someone reads it, free is just fine!" "Great! Tomorrow, pack the floppy disk with your manuscript in a paper box and mail it to me! I’ve already applied for an account under Rongshu for you! It just so happens my full-length novel will be completed in half a month too, then I’ll upload both of our novels for online serialization!" "Xiao Yu, can I also see it?" "Of course! Haven’t I taught you how to dial-up internet access using the telephone line? Go get some paper and a pen!" "Ah? Wait a moment." After some rustling noises from the other end of the phone, Han Mingyue said, "Okay! What do you want me to write down?" "The download method for OICQ... here’s your account number and password... the URL for Rongshu is... the account password is... Got all that?" "Got it! I’ll go online first thing tomorrow morning!" Han Mingyue’s tone was full of eagerness, Zhen Yu hurriedly warned him: "Dial-up internet is expensive! Be careful! Save some money for Uncle Han!" "Pff..." Zhen Yu’s mercenary tone made Han Mingyue laugh, "I know! It’s not your money, why are you so nervous!" "Of course I have to be nervous! It’s still money even if it’s your family’s..." After saying this, Zhen Yu nervously patted her chest. That was a close one! She almost blurted out ’it’s like spending my own family’s money!’ Although Han Mingyue felt that Zhen Yu’s latter sentence was abruptly cut off, he didn’t think too much about it. Instead, he teased her: "Since when did you become so good at managing money?" Zhen Yu disagreed! "I’ve always been quite good at managing money, okay!" "How come I remember someone who didn’t even know how much a popsicle cost?" "...Really?" Zhen Yu appeared baffled. Han Mingyue confirmed confidently: "Yes." Zhen Yu pursed her lips and kept silent on the other end of the phone. Han Mingyue waited a while, and not hearing Zhen Yu speak, suddenly realized. "Tee hee! Tee hee hee..." Hearing Han Mingyue’s laughter, Zhen Yu’s cheeks and ears turned hot at once. In a flurry, she cupped her face with her hand, and with an extremely low voice complained: "Stop laughing! Your laugh is so charming! Who are you trying to seduce?" "Heh... What did you say?" Han Mingyue faintly heard Zhen Yu speaking, so he asked with a chuckle. Zhen Yu felt like the flame in her mind was blown into a sea of fire by Han Mingyue’s words! "I’m tired! Going to sleep! Wait for my call tomorrow!" Zhen Yu hung up the phone abruptly. If she didn’t hang up, she felt her hair might get singed off!! Zhen Yu sat in place for a second, then suddenly got up and rushed upstairs! She dashed into the bathroom to wash her face... When the phone was suddenly hung up, Han Mingyue was still somewhat puzzled, holding the receiver in a daze for a moment. A few seconds later, something came to his mind! After gently setting down the receiver, he sat alone in the dark, and once again began to laugh. "Heh! So that’s the kind of person you are, Zhen Yu..." Han Mingyue amusedly placed her right hand on her forehead and muttered to herself: "Looks like I need to call you more often now..." The next morning, Zhen Yu was woken up by her alarm! When she sat up, her whole body was wilted and she exuded a sense of defeat! This was because she couldn’t sleep after washing up last night, so she laid in bed and chatted with He Baihe for a long time. Although she managed to sort out the inventory and book management software, but! The male celebrities she collected did not meet He Baihe’s aesthetic! Zhen Yu thought it might be because the middle school students have a substantial age difference with He Baihe, causing this difference in aesthetics. Thus, Zhen Yu decided to stroll around the university campus today! Asking which male celebrities the young people in their twenties are following! Moreover, after some bargaining, He Baihe agreed to sell Zhen Yu a high-end computer host with a 19-inch LCD monitor and included a 1GB USB drive for 30 ability points, all because she took pity on the hard work Zhen Yu did! Zhen Yu planned to place this computer at the snack bar’s counter to use as a cyber cafe server. So last night, she told He Baihe to configure it to the standards of a cyber cafe server, and the delivery would happen at noon today along with the two software! After a quick wash, Zhen Yu went downstairs jogging in the morning light. By the time she finished running and returned to the wonton shop, it was still not six o’clock, but Zhen Yu was already full of energy. "Morning!" When she ran into Xiao Gu on the first floor, Zhen Yu didn’t shout anything. Xiao Gu, as always, greeted with a smiling face, "Morning! Xiao Yu! Went for a run again!?" "Mm." Zhen Yu nodded and headed straight for the stairs. Xiao Gu raised his right hand, rubbed his nose, and even picked it. He just stood not far from the stair entrance, watching Zhen Yu’s retreating figure, the smile already fading from his face. Just as Zhen Yu was about to reach the second floor, Xiao Gu was about to look away, but unexpectedly, Zhen Yu suddenly turned around. Expressionless face to expressionless face! Xiao Gu’s facial muscles twitched irregularly a few times, wanting to smile but not wanting to, as if unsure what expression to wear. But Zhen Yu’s gaze did not waver at all! She quickly and gently turned back and disappeared at the top of the stairs within two or three seconds. Sounds came from upstairs, but neither Xiao Gu nor Gu’s father really cared. It was actually Gu Qing, who slept next to Zhen Yu’s room, who was annoyed by the noise and knocked on the wall several times. Zhen Yu didn’t pay her any mind either. She quickly packed her things into the suitcase and prepared everything. After packing, she didn’t take anything and locked the door, then went downstairs empty-handed, heading straight to the cyber cafe! "Zhen Yan! Get up and get to work!" Zhen Yu stood at the door of the small bedroom on the second floor and pounded on the door, shouting loudly. "It’s so early and you’re already calling for me!" From behind the door, you could hear Zhen Yan’s resentment in his voice, Zhen Yu laughed and said: "Get up! There’s really something today!!" "Oh!" Zhen Yan yawned and sat up, "Ah... Okay then!" While Zhen Yan went to wash up, Zhen Yu quickly gathered all of her brother’s belongings together, stacking them in the corner of the room. When Zhen Yan came back to the room, he immediately noticed something was amiss, turned around to look at his sister, suddenly blurted out, "Are you trying to kick me out?" Zhen Yu chuckled and said: "Get lost!" Zhen Yan laughed along, "Come on! What’s the matter today?! If you dare to deceive me," "People from An Gate are coming at eight! You come with me to the wonton shop now to fetch all my luggage!"
