At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Every bit of support will nourish this book.

"We will use everyone's monthly votes to commission artwork from artists. For every 10000 votes accumulated, we will commission an atmospheric half-body illustration and release a bonus chapter to make the character more complete."

(The book cover, Yuan Xiao's character illustration, Gu Zhi's character illustration, and An Qing's background illustrations were all commissioned from original artists for over 1 RMB each. We avoided greasy AI images, just like you don't want to read the nonsense in AI-generated stories, right?)

As we all know, every 1000 monthly votes an author can enter a lottery, with a minimum of 100 RMB. Ten times that would be 1,000 RMB. The price of an illustration is K-K5 (small red). I will personally spend a few hundred RMB to commission works to meet everyone's visual needs.

Regarding voice acting, if the results are satisfactory and there is sufficient capacity, it will be arranged gradually in the chapters after the book is published.

4. "The only rival".

Before I even started writing this book, I set a goal for myself.

This goal is not set on any expert, any contemporary, any peer, or any competitor in the same field.

Instead, it's a fallen prodigy from next door, whose account is likely to become a LV5 empty account. (The maid illustration guide, which ended two years ago, was banned again a few days ago and can no longer be released.)

The author aims to create more compelling characters, a more original worldview, a more complete work, and content that truly reflects their original intentions.

Because I only have eyes for one person, focusing on the content is the only thing that matters to me; other rumors and gossip are meaningless.

Of course, if my book can allow you to: "after a long day, lie in bed and watch an episode, finding a touch of healing and drifting off to sleep peacefully"—

Then the value I wanted it to have has been achieved.

Those who have been caught in the rain will understand that healing others is also healing oneself.

5. Acknowledgements.

Thank you to Chief Editor Lu Ming.

Without him, this book would not exist.

He has a sharp eye, is exceptionally professional, and is a terrifying man.

Thanks to Beihe, the editor-in-chief of Group 2, who was still willing to patiently read through the 2-word first draft and give me a lot of feedback after the initial failure.

Thank you to the 9 editors who took the time out of their busy schedules to read the first draft and provide a wealth of suggestions.

I am grateful to the amazing editor, Fuchen, for rejecting the first draft and for making me decide to angrily delete a month's worth of writing.

As you can see,

The initial draft of this work, consisting of tens of thousands of words, was completely torn up.

The current version is a completely rewritten version.

The author is an extreme and twisted patient; without the editors' rigorous standards, there would be no more detailed content.

Thank you again.

Chapter 67 The prerequisite for saving a relationship is selling yourself (First update, two chapters combined)

An Qing was very angry, so angry that she pecked someone more than 300 times.

When Su Che looked in the mirror after waking up in the morning, he was shocked.

I felt like a male college student who had been taken in, but as far as I could remember, although I was in a bad mood last night, I sobered up and went home.

It can't be that I completely forget everything.

Why is she so angry?

Su Che scratched his head in front of the mirror, and when he raised his arm...

Suddenly I realized...

My own wrist,

By someone,

Use a ballpoint pen.

— It's circled.

The pen used was painted with red ink.

"???"

Su Che was horrified.

All I could see was that piece of land.

It was the part where Nana had bitten off with her teeth that left the mark.

At the same time, the lip print was also very obvious.

I got home in a daze last night and completely forgot to deal with it.

【broken!】

This time, An Qing caught him red-handed.

The person was caught red-handed, that's for sure.

"..."

Su Che silently turned on the tap, squeezed out a pump of hand soap, and washed the "mark" off his arm...

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw the girl pouting, turning over to face the window, with her back to him.

I'm unhappy...

Su Che guiltily put himself in the girl's shoes for a moment—

"Failed to eat + discovering the crime scene + passed out drunk and unable to question"...

The triple grievances piled up are enough to make anyone suffer.

hiss.

This is getting a bit tricky.

But it doesn't matter.

The hermit has his own ingenious plan.

"Cough um."

Su Che walked to the kitchen counter, peeked at the girl, and while turning on the air fryer to toast bread and fry eggs and bacon, asked in a casual tone:

"An Qing?"

"."

"What's wrong? You're awake but won't get out of bed."

"Humph."

"Breakfast is ready for you."

"snort…!"

"Oh, are you in a bad mood?"

"Ok!"

Are you angry with me?

"No!!"

"Hey, I drank too much last night, so please don't take anything I said seriously."

"snort--!"

"Are you that angry?"

"Um!!"

"So, you don't want to go on our date tomorrow?"

"en—hmm?!!! No, that's not right."

The girl with her ears perked up was suddenly startled.

She suddenly rolled over and sat up:

"Cheche, you're cheating!"

She was furious and about to explode, but after a moment's thought, she suddenly realized something, her face hardening as she tentatively asked:

"Wait a minute, you...you finally admit you're going on a date with me?!"

"if not?"

Su Che smiled and said, "A 14-hour date, from the afternoon to the early hours of the morning, with me by your side the whole time, is there any problem?"
