Ning Yuhuan asked him, "Honey, have you eaten?"
Xu Lin: "Let's have dinner after seven."
Ning Yuhuan: "Mm-hm, make sure you eat well!"
Yu Xinyan also sent a message saying she had already arrived at her hometown.
That old rascal Yu Jianhua was also busy slaughtering a chicken, personally handling it.
In the photo, Xu Lin saw Yu Xinyan's grandfather, who looked almost identical to Yu Jianhua.
Yu Xinyan said, "Xu Lin, have you and Auntie prepared for dinner?"
"We're ready!"
The two chatted for a while.
At six o'clock, Xu Lin and Ms. Ren headed out.
Xu Lin's city isn't big; you can get around easily with a small scooter. There are four malls in the city, located in different areas. Xu Lin and his mom went to the best mall where the food is relatively pricier and the larger dining establishments are clustered.
"Xu Lin, ask Rong Xiyi if she's eaten?"
Ms. Ren thought of her.
Xu Lin sent a message to check, and Rong Xiyi quickly replied.
"I'm eating now!"
Rong Xiyi sent a picture of sushi; turns out she was having sushi.
"Then I'm relieved!"
Ms. Ren's maternal instincts flourished. She always dreamed of having a daughter, yearning for a pair of children, but with frequent arguments with her husband, it never happened. With the appearance of Rong Xiyi, Ms. Ren's emotions for a daughter started to grow at this moment.
Xu Lin had no idea what Ms. Ren was thinking.
Mid-Autumn Festival was just another day to him.
Probably because his family was too small, just the two of them, it felt so dull and lacked the festive atmosphere of Mid-Autumn reunion.
In the evening, Xu Lin returned home, sitting in front of the computer.
Time: 8:50 PM.
Xu Lin was scheduled for nine o'clock sharp.
On QQ, in the "Great Author's Health Group," many people were @ing Xu Lin.
Now that Xu Lin's book launch activities were announced, everyone knew Xu Lin was going to launch today.
For a book with unexpected explosive success, everyone was curious about Xu Lin's final results.
So many people kept @ing Xu Lin.
But Xu Lin didn't respond for the time being.
Chi Linyue, on the other hand, had just finished a hearty meal with her family and was now sitting on the balcony outside her room in a rocking chair, gazing at the moon.
She was in Jiangdu, and all she could see was the moon, with very few stars.
With urbanization, unless one is in areas with little pollution, the stars in the sky are sparse and dim, far less visible than in rural areas.
Chi Linyue had nothing much to do, so she opened Xu Lin's book. She was following it every day.
Partly because Xu Lin's writing was indeed good, and partly because she had a nurturing mindset, watching Xu Lin's growth along with the romance between the protagonists in the book. Chi Linyue found it quite interesting, as this was her first and only online novel.
Soon, today's chapter was finished.
"Is it going to be paid?"
Chi Linyue sent Xu Lin a message.
But Xu Lin didn't reply.
A few minutes later, at exactly nine o'clock, a novel update notification popped up in Chi Linyue's dashboard, adding twelve chapters at once.
Chi Linyue realized she needed to subscribe, so she topped up and subscribed to all twelve chapters in one go.
Xu Lin's writing remained as smooth and detailed as ever; it was a delight to read, reminiscent of a timeless literary style.
Today's plot had a significant conflict.
The protagonist Xu Lin's mother discovered that her son was dating the female lead Chi Linyue, and the conflict erupted suddenly. Although Chi Linyue was wealthy and very beautiful, Xu Lin's mother considered her an older woman who would be a bad influence on her naive son, forcing them to break up, and Chi Linyue left in sorrow.
Chi Linyue read anxiously.
"Is that it?"
"Xu Lin, what's the plot after this?"
"Hurry up and talk!"
Chi Linyue sent several messages over.
Meanwhile.
The people in the Great Author's group were also frantically @ing Xu Lin, as just before, in less than a minute after launch, Xu Lin's book broke the record for over ten thousand subscriptions!
This kind of speed was so exaggerated that the entire group was in an uproar!
One must know that others, those standing at the peak of great authors, take at least thirty to forty minutes to break ten thousand subscriptions after launch!
But Xu Lin did it in just one minute!
"Ten minutes in and we're at fifty thousand subs!"
"A giant's ten minutes; I could never reach in a lifetime!"
"I wouldn't even dream of such an exaggerated dream!"
"Fifty thousand in ten minutes, wouldn't it be a million in twenty-four hours?"
"Not necessarily, subscriptions increase rapidly at the start of a launch, so not necessarily a million, but definitely hundreds of thousands. Mr. Xu is truly a god among gods! His book's performance is insane!"
"What's even scarier is the giant is still in college, only eighteen or nineteen years old!"
In the Health Group, everyone either was a great author or a powerful non-great author, and at that moment, everyone was chiming in.
Xu Lin's launch results were simply too exaggerated.
Among them, some had been writing for over a decade and didn't dare to dream of such success for Xu Lin's book.
Meanwhile, even the strongest of the great authors had records that didn't exceed a hundred thousand on launch day.
Yet Xu Lin came and outdid them all!
At night, 9:31 PM.
"Ten thousand subscriptions completed!"
If it weren't for Ms. Ren being next door, Xu Lin might have shouted out loud.
He was only eighteen, inexperienced with major events.
Ten thousand subscriptions meant he could earn a million a month just from writing!
"Ms. Ren, when I get rich, I'll buy you a big villa!"
Xu Lin went over to reiterate to Ms. Ren.
"Weren't you buying an estate?" his mom asked him.
Xu Lin said, "This time I'm serious!"
"I'll remember, then!"
Ms. Ren didn't think much of it. A villa would cost tens of millions easily; Ms. Ren didn't dare to think too much of it, thinking her son was being playful again.
Xu Lin returned to his room and finally picked up his phone to reply to messages.
First up was Big Sis.
"The plot will definitely end in a happy family reunion, what else?"
"But isn't it a bit angsty right now?"
"The process is winding, but the future is bright!"
"That's from high school politics, isn't it?"
Chi Linyue recalled this was from a high school politics book.
Xu Lin: "You saw through me!"
Chi Linyue was curious: "How are the results after the launch?"
Xu Lin sent a screenshot; ten minutes had passed since then, with subscriptions around 120,000.
Chi Linyue couldn't quite understand, "How are these results?"
Xu Lin: "If I don't consider the cost of maintaining a car, I can buy that Maybach of yours by the end of the year!"
"Impressive!"
Chi Linyue was quite amazed.
A few minutes later, Chi Linyue sent another message.
With three screenshots.
"Which of these three black stockings do you think looks best?"
"Big Sis, can I have them all? blushing.jpg"
Xu Lin's blood was boiling.
"Then I'll order them all!"
