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

The high-speed train kept stopping and starting, and it was a little after four in the afternoon when we were almost at the station.

The guy behind them didn't get out of the car either, so it seems he was going to the same place as them.

Ye Feng really put in a lot of hard work today. In just over ten hours, writing on and off, he produced more than 40,000 words, which is about 10,000 words every two hours. That's quite fast for him, since he didn't have to think about it.

The two were packing up to get off the bus when, just as Ye Feng put away his laptop, the man with black-rimmed glasses walked over and handed him two pieces of paper.

The two were immediately amazed when they saw it; it turned out to be two paintings!

The two paintings feature Ye Feng and Su Miaomiao. One painting shows Su Miaomiao resting her head on his shoulder while watching him type, a faint smile on her lips.

The other picture shows Su Miaomiao feeding him, in a comic style, but not like Japanese anime, but a more detailed one!

"How was it? Not bad, right? I'm not a scammer."

"I didn't say you're a liar, I just find you annoying."

Ye Feng didn't give the other person any face at all. Normally, Ye Feng wouldn't act like this, but this guy is really too annoying. He still has so many unread messages on his phone, all sent by this guy!

Send me the title of your novel, and let me know when you send it so I can take a look.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll talk about it when I've made a decision."

It wasn't his decision, it was the platform's decision, okay? But this guy does have good judgment; he watched a bit without really knowing what to do and ended up liking it.

"Sigh, it seems you still don't believe me. My company is in Xihu City. You can come visit me sometime. I'm really not a scammer!"

Although the man was a bit annoying, the paintings were indeed quite good. Ye Feng tucked the two paintings into his notebook, planning to find a place to frame them after getting off the bus.

They originally wanted to go to Dali, but since it's not their area, the high-speed rail only goes as far as Kunming, so they had to transfer.

"Are you here for tourism? You should go to Dali instead. There's not much to do here."

"Yes, but there's no direct high-speed train there, we have to transfer. Are you going to Dali too?"

"I'm not going. This is my home. I have some things to do at home. Do you need a guide? I can be your guide after I'm done."

"No need, no need, we can manage on our own!"

It was already 8 p.m. when we arrived at the best hotel in Dali.

"Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving."

"Then why didn't you eat when we were eating?"

"Report your meal!"

Ye Feng didn't want to go out, so he picked up his phone, lay down on the sofa, and started ordering takeout, deciding to eat it inside.

"Let's go out for a walk. It looked so pretty when I came here."

It's a tourist city after all, so it's quite lively at night.

Ye Feng thought it wouldn't hurt to go out for a stroll and familiarize himself with the area.

Su Miaomiao had already prepared the itinerary, and Ye Feng only needed to follow along. Holding his phone, Su Miaomiao used navigation to find a restaurant.

"We're not there yet. Shall we take a taxi?"

"Don't worry, the navigation says we'll be there in two or three minutes at most."

"What delicious food is it that made you walk so long to eat? This isn't like you."

"I saw this while doing my research: wild mushroom hot pot, a must-try!"

"I hope I won't get poisoned!"

"No! Everything has been prepared. Even if someone wanted to, they wouldn't let you eat it."

Sure enough, after turning a few corners, we finally arrived at Huotang Impression, a courtyard hot pot restaurant.

Fortunately, it's not peak tourist season, so there's no need to wait; seats are available immediately.

"It smells delicious!"

The soup, made with a variety of mushrooms including porcini and termite mushrooms, and with the addition of pork ribs, was so tempting that even Ye Feng, let alone Su Miaomiao, couldn't resist picking up his chopsticks!

However, considering this is a wild mushroom hot pot, I'll wait a bit. It wouldn't be worth spending a few days in the hospital after all this trouble.

Finally, they could eat, and the two of them quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating. They didn't even have time to chat; they just focused on eating!

"Oops, I forgot to take a picture!"

Almost finished eating, Su Miaomiao slapped her thigh, filled with regret.

Ye Feng was also lying crookedly in the chair, clearly quite full from eating.

Su Miaomiao's belly wasn't that big; actually, most of it had gone into his belly.

Hearing Su Miaomiao's words, Ye Feng joked, "How about we order another one so you can take a picture?"

"Never mind, I'm too full. Let's take pictures next time. I want Hongmei to experience my happiness~"

Could Li Hongmei feel her happiness? Of course not. Without Su Miaomiao, she even finds driving practice uninteresting now.

Chen Guowei would frequently ask for leave, and as soon as he finished, he would run away, which was extremely urgent.

Li Hongmei was feeling emo when a photo came through.

Su Miaomiao was persistent; even after finishing her meal, she posted pictures of the clean hot pot and the beautifully made promotional photos.

"Do you even act like a human being?"

"Hehe, I just wanted to share this with you, Hongmei. You absolutely have to try it sometime, it's really delicious!"

"All you ever think about is eating, eating, eating! Think about what you'll be like tonight, you little girl, you little bunny~"

Li Hongmei is really good with words; she silenced Su Miaomiao in no time, her face turning red.

"Is it hot?"

"Hmm, a little..."

How could she possibly tell Ye Feng this? After Li Hongmei's reminder, she felt incredibly hot. She had actually been thinking about it for a long time and felt that this was a good opportunity!

Besides, her mother already gave her that thing, so it would be a waste not to use it.

The two left the hot pot restaurant arm in arm, deciding to stroll back instead of taking a taxi.

"Miaomiao, do you want to go to the supermarket to buy some food? We might get hungry tonight."

"Okay, I'll just buy some fruit to take home."

Su Miaomiao genuinely believed he was going to buy food, while Ye Feng, of course, had other ideas.

I checked when I went to the hotel, and they didn't have that thing. She has to prepare in advance, otherwise she'll be in tears if it causes a delay!

Su Miaomiao skipped and hopped along; it was clear she was genuinely happy.

"Why are these kiwis different from the ones we bought before? They have so little fuzz."

"I'll buy some to take home and try; I guess it's a local specialty?"

"These peaches look delicious, hmm... let's buy three, two for you and one for me, and then we'll buy more after we finish these."

The two were tourists, and Su Miaomiao was very careful not to buy too much stuff that might spoil.

Ye Feng's mind wasn't on that right now; he was waiting for the moment he finished paying.

I didn't buy much, just a few kinds of fruit. I still have other things in my bag, things I didn't finish eating on the way.

Counter.

"Miaomiao, go outside and wait for me."

"Why? I'm not leaving!"

Su Miaomiao couldn't understand what Ye Feng was doing, while Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed. Wasn't it a bit too obvious to just take it directly?

But since Su Miaomiao wasn't leaving, he couldn't just not buy anything. So, shamelessly, he grabbed one at random and put it on the counter.

Su Miaomiao also found out what Ye Feng had bought, and secretly pinched Ye Feng, her face already as red as an apple.
