After leaving the staff community, I went to the street and met Li Annan head-on.

Fang Nian pouted: "Your home is three feet away from the school, why are you here today?"

Li Annan, who was carrying a bag, said with a smile: "Coming early seems to be a positive way to go to school. Didn't you also come early?"

Fang Nian tilted his head towards the school and said, "How about we go to school together to tidy up first?"

"OK."

On the way to school, Li Annan was surprised to hear that Fang Nian had rented a house outside the school, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Would your mother agree?"

"I didn't tell her."

"Where did the money come from?"

"It's not expensive. My family has given me some extra living expenses. The savings are enough."

"Oh, me too."

Now that they are in their third year of high school, most families still hope that their children can make a difference, and accordingly they will relax some of their living expenses.

I originally rented a house, but Fang Nian planned to pay attention to it and replace my daily necessities with new ones.

However, considering the current economic situation, I simply gave up.

After returning to the school dormitory, Li Annan helped Fang Nian pack the sheets, quilts and other items and take them to the rented room.

Although the bed in the rental house is 1.5 meters wide, which is different from the 90 cm wide bed in the school, and the mat does not come with it, but given the current economic situation, Fang Nian can only hold on to it for a few days.

When Li Annan walked into the house rented by Fang Nian, he had an extremely envious expression on his face.

"I want to move out too."

Fang Nian said casually: "Let's move. There are a lot of vacant rooms in the staff building, which only costs about 300 yuan a month."

"Hiss~" Hearing this, Li Annan took a breath of cold air, "How dare you rent it at such an expensive price?"

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.

"Can I live with you?"

Li Annan looked at the two rooms and asked expectantly.

"Although I'm quite willing, the landlord said that outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight, so there's nothing I can do about it," Fang Nian said.

Li Annan was full of regrets: "It's too expensive. I can't save the money, and I don't dare to tell my family."

After all this fussing, an hour passed.

Li Annan encouraged Fang Nian to go back to the Internet cafe and continued talking while turning on the phone.

"How about staying up all night?"

"It's okay if I ask you."

Along the way, I made countless excuses to try to win over Fang Nian, but Fang Nian didn't answer.

After turning on the phone and sitting down, Fang Nian replied: "The house needs to be cleaned. I can't stay up all night."

"If you really don't want to go back to the dormitory, you can sleep in the Internet cafe. It is recommended not to stay up all night, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with your nutrition."

Li Annan made many excuses.

For example, you may be alone in the school dormitory, it is too late to return to school and it is closed, etc.

That's why Fang Nian answered like this.

Seeing this, Li Annan sighed and muttered: "Okay, okay, I understand."

"It's strange that you can speak so implicitly and yet be understood by others."

"By the way, are there any English movie recommendations like Iron Man?"

Fang Nian said: "I can't remember. You can search for Hollywood science fiction movies. There should be recommendations."

He really couldn't remember any good special effects movies in 2008.

Li Annan hummed and went about his own business.

Fang Nian logged into QQ with the nickname 2 and told Donggua about his thoughts.

Winter Melon: "Big update today?[/surprise]"

"You have updated 80 chapters so far this month, not including the previous free chapters. Isn't it too much?"

By noon, Donggua had uploaded all five updates for today.

Fang Nian: "I still have a lot of saved manuscripts."

Winter Melon: "That's okay."

Fang Nian: "Thank you for helping me update this month. I moved to live off campus in the new semester, so I have time to update."

Winter Melon: "You're welcome."

After finishing the chat, Fang Nian uploaded 5 chapters in a row, with a postscript to the last chapter:

"Today is the end of the month, so it's time to update. I'm going to round up 30 updates. Thank you for taking a look."

Fang Nian looked through the data and found that the average booking had increased a bit after exceeding 20,000 in the previous two days.

But it has basically hit the ceiling.

It was only when the last five updates were uploaded again at 8 or 9 p.m. that Fang Nian discovered that there seemed to be something wrong.

"Powan, you are truly the most diligent author I have ever seen. You deserve to be number one in monthly votes!"

“I’ve never seen an author who posted updates and didn’t ask for votes!”

"We are no longer poor teenagers. We will help you reach the top and launch the final sprint towards the 10,000 monthly ticket!"

"..."

Then Fang Nian saw some moving posts:

[The Broken Bowl may be the biggest new shit-stirring stick from Qidian! 】

[I have never seen an author like this, why is he doing so well? It’s too much!]

【……】

Fang Nian also saw the message sent by Donggua.

The first time is 7:32 pm.

"You took the number one spot on the overall list of monthly votes. The former number one posted five chapters asking for votes, but you still can't fight."

The second one is at 8:55.

"Do you want to sprint for 10,000 monthly tickets?"

Fang Nian: "I have been typing just now. I saw it too late. The 25 additional chapters have been updated. Let's take a look at the situation."

Winter Melon: "No, you may not have noticed the number of monthly votes. There are already 9,320 votes now. It will probably exceed 10,000 before 11 o'clock."

Fang Nian: "..."

Sure enough, at 10:55 pm, the number of monthly votes officially exceeded 10,000, leading the second place by nearly 4,000 votes.

At 12:01, the data was set at 10,689 votes.

The total subscriptions have arrived - 2125301.

Fang Nian posted a post in the book review area: "Thank you everyone, I can't repay you. I will continue to update five times a day next month."

I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I will let everyone be jealous.

Then he said hello to Li Annan and left the Internet cafe.

In the early hours of the night, Fang Nian stood at the largest intersection on the empty Tangli Street.

Lift your eyes and look around.

The stars in the sky are all in your hands.

On September 1st, at 5:40 in the morning, the alarm on the mobile phone rang in Unit 502 of Unit 3 of the employee community.

After sleeping for nearly five hours, Fang Nian took a nap and got up.

The mat and bed didn't match each other, but it didn't affect Fang Nian's energy.

The twitching of the nose no longer smells of the boys’ dormitory and mess——

This is due to Fang Nian cleaning the room before going to bed last night.

After washing up, I went downstairs and went for my usual morning run in the community.

Ten minutes later, Fang Nian ran more than a kilometer. When he returned to the building, he met the young landlady head-on.
