Chapter 87

【ps: This is the second update. The third update might be very late. You can go to sleep and read it directly tomorrow. It will definitely be there~】

Tong Yan's aloofness sparked Song Rao's little temper, and she turned and ran upstairs. Surprisingly, Tong Yan didn't chase after her; instead, he went straight into Old Song's office, took something, and left.

Song Rao remained angry until the class ended. She thought about how she always showed her drawings to Tong Yan, but this guy ignored her when he saw her. If he had been like this from the beginning, she wouldn't have given him her drawings. If he had been like this from the beginning, she shouldn't have taken his book. Humph! It really made her furious!

Emotions in a relationship can fluctuate easily. Just a moment ago, she was so angry, but when she saw Tong Yan waiting outside their classroom, Song Rao couldn't stay mad at him. However, she wasn't going to forgive him so easily. When she saw Tong Yan walking towards her, she acted as if she didn't see him and walked past him. "Why did you pretend not to know me just now?"

Tong Yan didn't seem to mind and followed Song Rao closely, like a shadow. Zhao Ying whispered in Song Rao's ear, "Are you two having a spat?"

"Who are you talking about? Is there someone behind us?"

"You know I'm not talking about the front or the sides. How can you say you don't know there's someone behind you!"

When they left the teaching building, Zhao Ying voluntarily parted ways with Song Rao. Tong Yan naturally followed, "Rao Rao, don't go."

Song Rao's ears turned red, and Tong Yan also felt a bit embarrassed. This was the first time he had called Song Rao by this nickname. He had only ever thought about it in his head. Seeing Song Rao not saying anything, Tong Yan continued, "Rao Rao, don't be angry. I didn't dare to get too close to you because your dad was in Director Wang's office and could see us."

Song Rao finally stopped, "Is that true? No wonder I couldn't find you in his office."

"Of course it's true," they had already walked quite far, and there was no one around. Tong Yan boldly grabbed Song Rao's wrist, "I wouldn't dare to lie to you."

"Then let go of me first." Song Rao lowered her eyes, her heart racing.

"Okay." Tong Yan released Song Rao's wrist but then grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers.

"What are you doing!" Song Rao was a bit flustered. In broad daylight, in this clear world, was Tong Yan looking for trouble? If someone saw them, it would be a disaster!

Seeing Song Rao's flustered and slightly shy but adorable expression, Tong Yan resisted the urge to pull her into his arms. "Today is a special day for me. I want your blessing."

"You don't need to do this to get a blessing."

"I heard that such a blessing is sincere and more likely to come true."

"Then you'd better not let other girls wish you good luck!" Song Rao said firmly.

Tong Yan smiled, "I'll do whatever you say. Now, give me your blessing." Tong Yan felt the moisture on their palms, not sure whose sweat it was.

"You haven't even told me what special day it is. It's not your birthday, right? How can I bless you?" Song Rao was a bit puzzled.

"Hey, you even know when my birthday is." Tong Yan casually held Song Rao's hand and walked while talking.

"I know about you, so you should know about me too." Song Rao resigned herself to being held by Tong Yan. Now they were truly holding hands, a significant breakthrough in their relationship, but it felt so natural, like the most normal thing in the world.

"Alright, then wish me success."

After receiving Song Rao's blessing, the two lingered for a while. Tong Yan reluctantly let go of Song Rao's hand, and they went to the cafeteria for lunch. To avoid drawing attention, they sat at different tables but communicated with eye contact. Tong Yan ate heartily, feeling that Song Rao made his meal more enjoyable.

In the evening, after returning to the dormitory, Tong Yan went to bed and closed his eyes to rest. Today was a special day for him, as his novel was being published for the first time. It was time to test the appeal of his novel and the loyalty of his readers. He hoped his Rao Rao would bring him good luck.

As for the final exams tomorrow, Tong Yan didn't take them too seriously. He just needed to maintain his advantage in Chinese to get his tuition for senior year waived. He was very confident about this.

Because of the exams, the boys in room 121 went to bed early and didn't have a late-night chat. Even the diligent Lan Mingzhu from the neighboring room went to bed early. Tong Yan also pretended to sleep, but at 11:30 PM, he woke up without checking the time.

Old Liu had already turned on the computer and connected to the internet for Tong Yan. Tong Yan still had four chapters in reserve. He planned to release two chapters tonight, go back to sleep, and release the other two tomorrow to get through the exams, then he could burst out with more updates.

Tong Yan had already announced in the previous update that he would release VIP chapters before midnight tonight. He hoped those who could afford it would support him financially, those who had votes would support him with votes, and those who couldn't afford it or didn't have votes could say a few words of blessing.

Watermelon had been waiting on QQ for Tong Yan, fearing that he might encounter problems with his first VIP chapter upload, so she was on standby. Other authors didn't have this kind of treatment.

Tong Yan: Sister Watermelon, are you still awake?

Watermelon: Of course, for you. Don't waste time. Have you entered the backend? I've already set up the VIP channel for you. Do you see it in the lower left corner?

Tong Yan: Yes, I need a password.

Watermelon: The password is 1****2. Remember it well and don't tell anyone. Once you're in, you can release VIP chapters.

Watermelon: Wait, have you written the release statement?

Tong Yan: No need, I already said it would be released today.

Tong Yan had seen other authors' release statements, which were mostly about hoping for readers' support and how the monthly subscription fee was just the cost of a pack of cigarettes. Almost every release statement mentioned the cost of a pack of cigarettes. Tong Yan didn't smoke, so he didn't plan to write one.

Watermelon: How can you not write one? Everyone else writes one. If you don't, readers might think you don't need the money. Remember to write something touching.

Tong Yan: Alright.

Tong Yan followed Watermelon's instructions and quickly wrote a touching release statement in five minutes, then completed the release of the two chapters. Even he would have to pay to read these chapters himself.

Tong Yan: Sister Watermelon, it's done. I'll go to the group and announce it.

Watermelon: Go ahead. Oh, by the way, I've upgraded your account to a high-level VIP.

Tong Yan: Really?!

Watermelon: Of course, it's a benefit for起点 authors.

Tong Yan: Great, I'll recharge once I get the payment.

Tong Yan was calculating in his head. Before he made money from the website, it was impossible for him to pay the website. But once he really made money and no longer worried about finances, he was very willing to support the works and authors he liked. Without the support of paying readers, many authors wouldn't be able to continue.

Watermelon: Yes, after the exams, remember to update more to give readers a reason to vote.

Tong Yan: I will.

Then Tong Yan opened the reader group, which had accumulated a lot of messages. He didn't have time to read them because the topics were usually light when he wasn't around. He directly posted: Brothers, "Furious Thunder" has opened the VIP channel. Everyone, go subscribe and vote.

One Smile Many Worries: No, I won't.

Sleeping Lazy Cat: I agree with the above.
