"This piece is played really well. Does anyone know its name?"

Xia Xiyao, driven by curiosity, wanted to find the original version to listen to, so she commented and asked, "Does anyone know the original version of this piece? And what's its name?"

Soon, a netizen replied.

"Same here, seeking its name! Who's the original author? Are there any lyrics?"

"This kind of melancholy style really controls me, I just love these kinds of emotional masterpieces!"

"This is the original, the guitarist is the original author, he composed it himself!"

Xia Xiyao saw the third comment and asked the commenter, "Is this an original piece?"

Twenty seconds later, the person replied, "Yes, it's an original, and the author is super talented. This is the music he composed for his novel."

Before Xia Xiyao could respond, the person sent another message: "The author's novel is called 'My 26-year-old Miss Maybach'. This piece is the theme music of the novel. By the way, this book is super popular! Sis, I recommend you check it out!"

"'My 26-year-old Miss Maybach'?"

Xia Xiyao occasionally reads novels, and this one had been recommended to her by her high school classmates before.

But Xia Xiyao didn't read it because she thought the title sounded a bit cheesy.

Moreover, she's not interested in these urban novels, she only reads action-packed ones, especially those geared towards male audiences, preferably with no female lead, and the male lead fights from the village to the depths of the universe.

This time, because of a piece of music, Xia Xiyao clicked on the link shared by her high school classmate to check out this novel.

Then it directed her to an app.

Author: Mr. Xu.

Xia Xiyao hasn't paid much attention to novels lately, though she usually reads on this site.

And this novel?

Number one in sales, number one in monthly votes, breaking out of its niche at level five, preparing for level six, with 130,000 comments, overall data is explosive.

"Is this novel really that good?"

Xia Xiyao was curious.

But she noted the names of the characters on the character card.

Male lead: Xu Lin.

"What an annoying name!"

Xia Xiyao wouldn't assume that seeing the name Xu Lin meant this book was written by Xu Lin.

In Huaxia, with a population of over a billion, any random name you pick would have at least hundreds of people sharing it across the country.

Not like names such as Zhang Wei or Li Na, where just one name covers tens of thousands of people nationally, sometimes absurdly, two to three people with the same name in just one class.

So, what connection could the Xu Lin in the novel have with the scumbag Xu Lin?

Xia Xiyao didn't think much more and clicked on the novel out of curiosity, and once she started, she couldn't stop.

With 320,000 words, Xia Xiyao read for more than three hours, relishing and getting lost in it, only finishing past 2 a.m.

"It's the first time reading such stunning prose!"

"The female lead is well-crafted, and the male lead Xu Lin is just as great, dedicated, brave, fearless, responsible, never bowing to authority..."

"Both sharing the same name, Xu Lin really tarnishes this name."

Xia Xiyao felt some resentment towards Xu Lin, not only for his two-timing but also because Xu Lin ignored her messages.

These days, who isn't attached to their phone day and night? You're awake for at least fifteen to sixteen hours a day, and at least half of that time, you're staring at your phone.

This is the life of most contemporary people.

So you say you don't have time to reply to messages? Or missed the message?

That's clearly impossible.

Xia Xiyao understood that Xu Lin simply didn't want to talk to her.

She wasn't the kind of girl who thought everything revolved around her, but after sending three messages with no reply, not even a punctuation mark,

Ha!

A hot face shouldn't stick to a cold butt!

Euphoric from the novel she was reading, Xia Xiyao couldn't help but grant a 300-dollar character reward for the male lead Xu Lin in the book.

"I really like the male lead Xu Lin, just love this kind of dedicated, responsible, brave, and fearless character…"

She also left a message, eloquently writing several hundred words, like a small essay, and soon dozens of agreeing readers joined the comment thread.

Xia Xiyao was excited and started discussions with the readers.

She really liked the male lead Xu Lin in the novel because the author created him so well, simply a dream lover for girls.

However, Xu Lin himself wasn't concerned with that.

He also didn't know Xia Xiyao was reading his book.

Tonight he added another 10,000 words, without any intention to drag it out.

Xu Lin plans to finish the novel in the next two months.

Don't be surprised if he wanted to, he could churn out several tens of thousands of words in just one day.

But like other authors, after writing for a while, Xu Lin just didn't want to type anymore, as the saying goes, you start with great momentum, then weaken, and finally exhaust yourself, that's exactly it.

"Just a little more time and it can be wrapped up."

Xu Lin turned off the computer, after posting today's 10,000 words, the novel's total word count reached 330,000.

He hasn't had the time recently to churn out tens of thousands of words in one go.

Monday to Friday goes without saying, with classes during the day, he can't spend all the evenings typing, can he?

And weekends are busy too.

Xu Lin's life trajectory has changed now, with a colorful life that keeps him enchanted.

So it's impossible to return to those summer days when he played games all day, or during his most intense period, staying up all night and churning out over ten thousand words in one go.

That kind of life won't happen again.

Xu Lin has now unlocked a new skill, composition.

In theory, he won't delve deeply into online literature in the future; he wants to enter new fields to shine, to set himself free.
