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

Early on the first day of the Lunar New Year, my phone rang, but instead of New Year's greetings, I heard my editor making a huge fuss.

They say a real breakdown isn't about making a scene, but it seems the editor isn't that much of a breakdown.

"Big brother! Next time you're planning something, could you at least tell me beforehand?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I was going to give you a gift?"

"No, that's not it! Why are you so...cheap? Why are you mocking them? They're our bread and butter!"

"Ahem, I was just trying to make a joke, I didn't expect them to react so strongly."

"Hey, could you please let me know before posting anything in the future? Look at the comments section, my boss is about to yell at me to death!"

"Okay... I'll definitely do it next time. I never expected these guys to do something like that."

"Ugh, I'm having such a hard time celebrating the New Year. I need to get someone to clean up your comment section right now. If the data wasn't so good, the website would probably have banned it outright!"

"It's my fault, it's my fault. You go find the person, I'll take care of the funding myself."

"No need for that, the company will take responsibility. After all, the company is responsible for the operation of your novel. But I still have to tell you, next time, please, please don't do that again!"

"Okay, okay."

Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed for giving someone something to do during the Chinese New Year. After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent a large red envelope.

Ye Feng's older cousin also got up. When she saw Ye Feng, he could feel the resentment in her eyes. She was in charge of managing Ye Feng's group chat. Ye Feng's big announcement last night had increased her workload considerably. Now everyone in the group was asking him if they could just buy a keyboard.

After all, with only fifty, it's a drop in the ocean compared to so many readers.

"Sis, you've worked so hard! Here's a big red envelope for you~"

"That's more like it. By the way, a lot of people have asked me if I'm selling it, and how much it costs."

"Hmm...we'll just put them on Miaomiao's online store and sell them there. We'll create a separate category and set the prices low as a way of giving back to our fans."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Miaomiao later. Also, what are your plans for the lucky draw?"

"It's a monthly pass lottery; just follow the last digit of your number."

"Is it really just a lottery, no underhanded tactics?"

"Ahem, the editors will handle the specifics, since many readers have given us quite a few tips..."

Ye Feng's words were already quite blatant. How could he really hold a lottery? He would definitely take care of those alliance leaders who had given a lot of rewards. After all, they supported him so much. How could he leave them out when he was giving out benefits?

My cousin rolled her eyes, then curled up on the sofa, took out her phone, and started using it. But she wasn't playing on her phone; she was checking the group chat messages and keeping an eye on everything.

It was said to be fifty sets, but the actual number was close to one hundred sets. It was a bonus for some of the alliance leaders who had helped him and some of the special treatment they received but didn't get, as well as some writers that Ye Feng knew.

People usually send him a copy, whether it's for publishing a novel or giving out perks. They also recommended this novel when he published it. We usually get along well, so it's definitely a must to arrange it for him.

Now that her aunt sees her daughter no longer so angry, but instead all smiles, it's as if she's become a completely different person.

When the time came, Auntie felt a little reluctant to part with her daughter, who was about to travel far away and wouldn't be able to see her again easily.

The whole family went out to visit relatives and play cards, leaving only Ye Feng and his cousin at home.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, staying at home was indeed boring, so my cousin dragged Ye Feng to the greenhouse.

"We planted strawberries this year, let's go eat strawberries!"

"They're growing strawberries now? Didn't they only grow vegetables before?"

"My dad said this stuff is very profitable and he even wanted to grow watermelons, but he can't find a greenhouse right now, and watermelons damage the soil, so he's still considering it."

"Uncle, you really know how to make things complicated! Are those strawberries sweet?"

"It's not very sweet. To be honest, I don't think it tastes very good; it just looks nice."

"I'll try it later. If it's alright, I'll bring some back for Miaomiao."

Ye Feng really misses Miao Miao. He always thinks of Miao Miao when he gets something good. No wonder his cousin is a little jealous.

"You're so good to Miaomiao."

"Of course, she's my girlfriend."

Her cousin actually wanted to advise Ye Feng not to get too involved, lest he be unable to handle the breakup.

But then again, thinking about her feelings after chatting with Su Miaomiao, that girl felt the same way~

These two are really... she doesn't even know how to describe them.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, none of the workers were here, so they just left a dog tied up.

However, the dog recognized my cousin and came over wagging its tail. As for not letting her in, what a joke! If it had hands, it could open the door for her!

My cousin wasn't completely unprepared; in the plastic bag she was carrying was a braised pork knuckle that she had packed at home. She hadn't finished it last night, so it just so happened that this big yellow dog got to eat it.

"Big Yellow, you've worked hard. It's Chinese New Year, so here's an extra treat for you!"

As he spoke, he patted Big Yellow's head again.

Big Yellow couldn't understand what Chinese New Year meant, but it knew that the pork knuckle in front of it was real!

"This dog looks familiar?"

"Haha, it's seven or eight years old already. Almost all the dogs in this area are its offspring; they're practically our family's offspring!"

My uncle's greenhouse is quite large, and he has installed quite a few security cameras, but they can only watch.

To prevent malicious people from causing trouble, we've kept some dogs here to keep watch. If someone sneaks over at night, the dogs' barking can serve as a warning.

You can only claim compensation for a security camera after something happens, but if you encounter an unreasonable person who just says they have no money, there's really nothing you can do about it, because they genuinely have no money.

Dahuang has been guarding the shed here for several years, and these dogs don't need to be leashed; each dog knows where its own den is.

During the day, when there are people around the greenhouse, they gather together to play, and at night they return to their respective nests. They are incredibly clever.

Ye Feng quite liked the dog because it was really smart, almost like it could read people's minds.

"Sis, is this dog male or female?"

"A male one, you want paparazzi?"

"I do have that thought. Miaomiao and I have a cat now, and we're worried that these two will fight at home."

"If you want to raise one, go ahead. What kind of fight could they possibly have? But why don't you raise a purebred dog instead of a mixed-breed?"

"I just think this dog is smart; it can even guard the house."

"I'll take you to see some paparazzi later. If you like, you can take one home."

After the New Year, I won't have to live on campus anymore. Having a dog will be convenient too; I'll have someone to run with in the mornings. How great is that?
