Chapter 58: Easily Satisfied
Zhang Chuliang: "You don't need to worry about the later chapters, if you want to thank everyone, just update more. After the book was released, You only updated one chapter, and the readers are furious. Oh, did you check the stats?"
Song Yimo blinked, she had completely forgotten about it!
On the first day of the release, she had uploaded all the drafts in her hand and set the update schedule. Then she went to the city to draw some blood.
After meeting her brother and spending a day with him, she squeezed out every bit of time to write. She had completely forgotten about checking the stats, she even forgot that she had released new chapters!
Logging into the backend, Song Yimo's mouth fell open as she pointed at the numbers: "One, two, three, four, five."
In disbelief, she counted again. Song Yimo couldn't contain her smile as she jumped on the bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and rolled around.
She didn't even move when she heard the beep.
She had already surpassed sixty thousand collections today. She had predicted a ten-to-one subscription ratio, as long as she reached her expectations, she would have food to eat.
But the situation was much better than she had anticipated, with over fourteen thousand subscriptions, more than a five-to-one ratio!
With such results, recommendations were not lacking. As long as she didn't mess up in the future, her performance would only get better.
She had succeeded!
After laughing happily for a while, Song Yimo got up and sat back in front of her computer.
Zhang Chuliang: "This is the highest first subscription we've had since the website launched. Barely Rich, don't tell me you haven't been keeping an eye on it."
Barely Rich: "I was busy, but I'm very happy."
Zhang Chuliang: "I'm happy for you."
Song Yimo sent a thank you expression and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Fortunately, Zhang Chuliang had some understanding of him now and knew that when he sent that expression, he had nothing more to say. He bid farewell cheerfully.
Song Yimo clicked on another inactive avatar, for the first time initiating a chat with Zhai Muyang.
Barely Rich: "Dage, are you busy?"
Zhai Muyang was already in the chat box writing and deleting, but when he saw her message, he quickly replied.
Mu Yang: "Not busy, homework done?"
Barely Rich: "Done."
Song Yimo didn't know how to express her happiness. Although she kept smiling, her words were still proper and polite.
But Zhai Muyang now had some understanding of her, so he asked.
Mu Yang: "Is something good happening?"
Barely Rich: "Yes, I'm happy, but I can't say."
Mu Yang: "Then don't say it, as long as you're happy."
Barely Rich: "I suddenly feel very5 happy. Grandma is fine, I have a new brother, and another important matter has been settled. I'm especially happy."
Mu Yang: "Dage is also very happy to have a new sister."
Song Yimo touched her ear, smiling at the computer screen.

After three days of continuous light rain, the temperature had noticeably dropped.
Such weather made cycling particularly miserable, so a few friends agreed to meet early and walk to school together. As they met, a small car pulled up beside them, and the window rolled down to reveal Yu Xi's handsome face.
"Yimo, what a coincidence," he said.
Song Yimo nodded slightly and ignored him, holding Miao Miao's hand as they continued walking.
As the car slowly drove alongside them, Yu Xi continued talking to her, "It's cold, why don't you get in the car and go to school together? Call your friends to come along too."
Song Yimo shook her head, "You can ask them if they want to ride."
Liu Xing stood with his hands in his pockets, coldly saying, "I won't get in the car. Mr. Yu, please first solve the trouble you caused for Yimo. Chen Fangfei's people have been following Yimo for three days."
Surprised, Song Yimo looked at him and looked around, "Why didn't anyone tell me? Where are they?"
"I asked my brother for help because he knows people in society," Liu Xing, feeling a bit embarrassed under Song Yimo's gaze, scratched his nose. "The other party said they took money from Chen Fangfei and couldn't just do nothing, so they have been following her every day to report back to Chen Fangfei. I was afraid you would be scared if you knew, so I didn't say anything."
Doing things without seeking attention, Song Yimo quite liked people like that. Smiling sincerely at Liu Xing, she said, "Thank you."
Liu Xing's face blushed slightly, and he turned his head away pretending not to care, saying, "You're welcome."
The car stopped, and Yu Xi got out of the car with his backpack. "Uncle Liu, you can go back, I'll walk to school."
Mr. Liu laughed at the group of young people and shook his head as he drove away.
Yu Xi had good manners, although his family was wealthy and he had better things than others, he never flaunted it deliberately. He was friendly to classmates and teachers, and his sunny, smiling personality was not off-putting.
But now he couldn't smile.
"I didn't expect Chen Fangfei would cause you trouble," Yu Xi said.
Liu Xing wasn't mincing words and retorted, "I don't think Chen Fangfei was wrong. What about you? Before Yimo, you let others spread all kinds of rumors about you two. As soon as Yimo appeared, you immediately distanced yourself from Chen Fangfei. What does that make Chen Fangfei to you? And where do you place Yimo? If I were her, I wouldn't be satisfied either."
Yu Xi frowned, "I have no relationship with Chen Fangfei, and I didn't drag her along. I refused her from the beginning. She made others believe we were a couple because she didn't want me to be with someone else. I didn't care before, and I didn't plan to date anyone."
He paused and looked at Song Yimo, "I didn't expect to fall for Yimo. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have let things go on."
Song Yimo checked her watch, "We'll be late if we don't leave now."
Her nonchalant attitude that had nothing to do with her made Miao Zhiruo burst into laughter, and the spectators followed suit.
Yu Xi and Liu Xing felt a bit helpless - who were they doing this for?!
Brushing off Miao Zhiruo's hand messing up her hair, Song Yimo smoothed it with her fingers and said, "I don't date in high school, and I certainly don't like trouble. I've told you before, Senior Yu Xi."
Yu Xi, who was taller, wanted to reach out and tousle Yimo's head, who was almost a head shorter than him, but he could only think about it.
"I won't affect you, I'll handle the situation with Chen Fangfei."
"Thank you," Song Yimo smiled and pushed Miao Zhiruo to move forward. "We'll be late if we don't leave now."
Starting from that day, Yu Xi naturally joined the group, and no one from the society appeared around Song Yimo since then. She doesn’t know how he talked to Chen Fangfei.
Once at school, Chen Fangfei appeared, with her hair cut short and looking slimmer. She seemed unaffected and walked past Song Yimo. Miao Zhiruo was on edge, but Chen Fangfei simply ignored her and walked by.
This feud had started inexplicably and ended just as inexplicably, leaving Song Yimo puzzled.
She was a bit worried - every book needed a love story, how would she write about this inexplicable romance to add color to the novel?
