I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Actually, my cousin was quite tempted by what Ye Feng said. Going to Shanghai was an option, and with her cousin around, she wouldn't have to worry about making a living.

Her biggest worry was that she wouldn't be able to shoulder the responsibility and what if she messed things up? That was her biggest concern.

At the same time, she was silently telling herself, "Don't try to persuade me anymore, I'm really worried I won't be able to hold back!"

"It's okay, sis. We're not just abandoning everything. Let's learn together. Besides, Miaomiao is planning to start a cross-border e-commerce business after the New Year, and they're short-staffed right now. You can go and help out, just for fun, okay? If it doesn't work out, you can always come back!"

My cousin couldn't hold back any longer. Yes, if it doesn't work out, she can just come back. Can her parents really stop her from coming back?

"Well... if I do something wrong, you can't scold me, okay?"

"Why am I scolding you? You need to have confidence, cousin. Think about it, you managed to do a great job in customer service by hiring several part-timers online. You'll definitely do an even better job there. And it won't interfere with your novel writing. You're just sitting there anyway, so you can write in your spare time."

"Hmm...where should I stay?"

"I'm going to rent a place after the New Year. I'm planning to rent a three-bedroom apartment. We'll definitely be hiring more people then, so having a place to stay will be convenient. But don't worry, the biggest room will definitely be yours."

"Okay... I'll give it a try!"

My cousin couldn't resist. She didn't want to go out, but she didn't know what to do if she did.

Moreover, with her previous income, she could barely make ends meet after deducting rent. That's why she shamelessly stayed at home for several years.

Now things are great, she's going to go to work, her cousin has already made arrangements, and she won't have to put up with her mother's temper at home anymore!

My cousin can't keep secrets. As soon as she agreed to Ye Feng's request, she rushed downstairs to tell my aunt, claiming it was to say goodbye to her mother in advance!

Actually, I wanted to make some money. Although my cousin had already made arrangements, I felt more at ease having money in my own hands!

My aunt was overjoyed. Back then, when her eldest son went to the city to open some kind of after-school care center, she wanted her daughter to go there. What kind of life is it to always stay at home!

But my daughter absolutely refuses to go; no matter what I ask, she just doesn't want to.

Now she's finally going to work, and she's even going with her eldest nephew, the most educated and successful member of the family, which makes her feel even more at ease.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Ye Feng, she knew him well. Despite his young age, he was quite mature and definitely wouldn't do anything reckless.

My aunt didn't even bother cleaning; she just washed her hands and rushed upstairs.

"Ye Feng, is what your cousin said true?"

"It really is Auntie. Miaomiao and I started an online store, and we're short-staffed right now. My cousin can be a great help."

"Can she handle it? Don't let her interfere with your plans."

"Haha, Auntie, you don't know, do you? My cousin used to be in charge of customer service and advertising at our branch, and she did a really good job."

"This girl, she didn't even bother to tell us. Fine, I'll leave your sister to you. If she misbehaves, just call me and I'll deal with her!"

At this moment, in her aunt's eyes, it was her daughter who needed to be taken care of, even though Ye Feng was seven or eight years younger than her cousin.

My cousin didn't come up with me; she went to see her elderly father, thinking he'd be so happy he'd give her a big red envelope.

The New Year's Eve dinner was also very enjoyable, with Ye Feng's aunt constantly putting food on his plate.

"Mom, do you have to be so happy? You really want me to leave, don't you!"

"No, no, it's Chinese New Year, you've been staying at home for several years now. This time you're going out, it would be best if you could bring a partner back for the New Year. Mom doesn't need you to find someone rich, just someone decent will do. Ye Feng, if you know anyone suitable, could you introduce them to your sister?"

"Mom! You're making it sound like I'm unwanted!"

"What else?"

"snort!"

The topic then shifted to my cousin's search for a partner, and the whole family began to actively discuss what kind of person she wanted to find. It was quite a lively discussion.

My cousin only ate a few bites before running off. She just couldn't stand it anymore; if they kept talking, she'd start naming her child!

Ye Feng left after chatting for a while, because they really didn't have much in common. To be honest, it was quite boring.

Back in his room, he took out his phone and, sure enough, Miaomiao had texted him. He remembered that at this time last year, the two of them were still watching the Spring Festival Gala together on the phone.

"Going home?"

"Yeah, we played for a while after dinner and then came back. When can we celebrate the New Year together?"

"Well... I guess we'll have to graduate first. After graduation, we can get our marriage certificate, and then we can celebrate the New Year together openly."

"There's still a long time to go. Oh, by the way, I set off fireworks tonight and burned a hole in my down jacket. My mom is furious. She thought about buying that down jacket for me for a long time before finally deciding to buy it for me!"

"Your mom bought you new clothes?"

"Yes, you have one too, I just forgot to give it to you. When are you coming back? I'll get it for you. And let me tell you, we both have the same style, both red. My mom has great taste!"

"Auntie already bought it for my son, hehe, then I have to go back early."

"By the way, did you tell your cousin?"

"I told her, I told her this afternoon, and she agreed."

"Yay~ Let my cousin come with us then. We can rent a place and tidy it up before school starts, otherwise we won't have time to tidy it up when we get busy."

"You should tell your cousin, I completely forgot about this. Oh, and Miaomiao, I have a gift for you~"

"Huh? You're not here, how am I supposed to deliver it?"

"Hehe, it's a song I wrote myself, I'll sing it for you."

"You can write songs?"

Su Miaomiao was very skeptical, but she still listened attentively. This was written by her boyfriend, and no matter how it was written, she felt his sincerity!

There was no accompaniment, and Ye Feng originally wanted to slowly figure it out on his own, but he was too naive. With his current skill level, he hadn't even gotten close to the beginning.

As a second-best option, he plans to sing it a cappella and then find someone to do the arrangement after school starts. It doesn't matter if it's different or not, as long as it sounds good.

Clearing his throat, Ye Feng began to sing.

"Wanxia at sea is like a painting from her youth."

"Spread it across the sky and wait for the seagulls to carry it away first."

"Distant sails battered by wind and waves"

"I'm not afraid of pain, no matter how much it hurts, for my dream."

He heard this song as an Easter egg at the end of a chapter in an entertainment novel, and he thought it was very good and suitable for Miaomiao to sing.

Actually, he found a lot of good songs, but he could only learn to sing them.

So, he's been studying music all this time.
