CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 496 SETTING SAIL NOVEL

After the training class, Zhen Yu, who was completely unaware of her mother’s situation, took Han Mingyue to her family’s internet cafe.

The business in the internet cafe was booming since it was the weekend!

Li Si intended to let Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue cut in line but was stopped by Zhen Yu.

"Fourth Brother! We have a day off today, so it’s okay to wait a bit. This gives me the chance to ask you some things!"

Li Si’s expression suddenly became somewhat anxious, "...What’s up? You ask!"

"His little brother is transferring schools. Did you hear my mom explaining how to handle the transfer procedures when she was helping me with mine?"

"Ah...Haha! She does love to ramble on! I’ve heard it several times and remember it clearly! She said you need to..."

"Oh! I see! Alright then, now we know!"

Zhen Yu noticed the change in Li Si’s emotions but acted as if she hadn’t noticed anything.

After all, her relationship with her own mother was indeed very strained! Suddenly running over to the internet cafe just next to the Gu Family’s house to ask him questions, it would be quite normal for Li Si to be overthinking!

But let him overthink if he wants to! It’s not like she ever hid her family matters from him and Zhang San anyway, so let him imagine whatever he likes!

After the topic of transferring schools was over, Li Si found an excuse to get busy with something else.

He had just worried that Mrs. Zhen’s incident had been leaked! But upon hearing it wasn’t, he finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Now that he was finally away from Zhen Yu’s watchful eyes, he firmly decided that he would definitely not approach Zhen Yu today! After arranging a computer for her, he would hide behind the bar!

At their own family’s internet cafe, naturally there were many benefits.

Not only did Li Si arrange for them to have neighboring computers, but he also had snacks and drinks delivered. Zhen Yu didn’t refuse any of them; she accepted everything.

"It’s been so long since I’ve checked! Guess what! Do you think the number of readers has suddenly increased a lot!?" After logging in, Zhen Yu quietly asked Han Mingyue while opening the website.

But after her words fell, there was still silence from Han Mingyue to her right, who did not respond to her question.

Zhen Yu found it strange and turned to look at him.

Then she noticed that Han Mingyue was staring intently at his monitor!

"What’s wrong?!" Zhen Yu also looked towards Han Mingyue’s monitor, and then... she was stunned along with him!

The two of them silently waited for a while, and the interface finally freed itself from being frozen and could now operate normally.

But Zhen Yu felt like her eyes were almost inadequate! A sudden bout of choice paralysis struck her!

"I, with so many unread items! Which one should I look at first?!" Han Mingyue was not very familiar with the operations of the website and at this moment was utterly perplexed!

Without any ideas of his own, Zhen Yu immediately stepped up to the plate!

"Take a look one by one! Check them all before deciding!"

"Okay!" Han Mingyue agreed, and began to click from the very top!

When Han Mingyue had clicked through all the accessible items, and Zhen Yu had also roughly scanned through them with him, she then slowly uttered a phrase.

"Han Mingyue, you’ve become popular!"

"Popular?"

"Yeah!" Zhen Yu gently patted Han Mingyue’s shoulder, sat up straight, and said, "I’ll check the backend for a bit and get back to you."

"Okay!" After Han Mingyue replied, he turned his attention to Zhen Yu’s monitor.

However, the webpage where Zhen Yu had half-entered her password had expired due to too much time without activity...

She had no choice but to refresh and log in again.

Initially, the situation was similar to Han Mingyue’s, but soon! The data stopped changing!

Han Mingyue: "...Xiao Yu,"

Zhen Yu cut off the comfort Han Mingyue was about to offer, her expression extremely carefree: "Not bad at all! At least it hasn’t completely flopped!"

"Flopped?"

"Yeah! You know, in Cantonese movies there’s this term ’flopping on the street’! That’s the flop!"

"Uh! Isn’t that an insult?" Han Mingyue exclaimed!

Zhen Yu nodded while reading the messages, "Yeah! But when it’s used to describe a book, it’s not considered an insult! Writers often use it to be self-deprecating!"

"Self-deprecating?"

"Uh, as in making fun of oneself! Dark,"

This time Han Mingyue didn’t wait for Zhen Yu to explain further, "I get it." Just after saying that, he added: "Hey? Someone is talking to you!"

Zhen Yu immediately looked at the bottom right corner of her monitor screen, and indeed, an online message box had popped up!

"Ah! It really is!"

"Dear Author Xiao Xinghan:

Hello! I am Qiming Star, an editor at Qihang Novel Website. Could you please let us know your contact details?"

"Novel website?!" Zhen Yu was completely shocked! "When did this pop up?!"

Han Mingyue didn’t understand why she was so surprised and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong with the novel website?!"

"You don’t know... Let me ask first!"

"Alright then!" Han Mingyue turned his head away with a puzzled expression, but inadvertently noticed that someone had also sent him messages on his computer screen! And there were three messages in a row!

"Dear Author Ye Yueming:

Hello! I am Ziwei Star, the chief editor of Qihang Novel Website. May I have the honor to get your contact details?"

After reading these three identical instant messages, Han Mingyue was stunned for a second!

Because he immediately noticed the difference between the messages sent to Zhen Yu and those sent to him!

Although both were from Qihang Novel Website asking for contact details, the wording was completely different!

Especially one who claimed to be an editor! While the other claimed to be the chief editor...

Regaining his senses, Han Mingyue reached out to pull Zhen Yu’s sleeve, wanting to show her his computer monitor.

But Zhen Yu was having a blast searching for information and without turning her head back, she stroked his hand and said: "Good boy! Don’t disturb me right now. Wait until I’m done checking this website before we talk."

Hearing this, Han Mingyue’s ears instantly turned red!

How could she talk to him with the tone one uses to pacify a child...

Zhen Yu didn’t notice this small anomaly from Han Mingyue at all, as she was busy searching the internet to compare and verify the information received from editor Qiming Star!

Once she could confirm that it was a legitimate novel website, which was just officially established at the beginning of September this year, she did not hesitate to type in the website address and opened Qihang Novel Website!

Now what she wanted to see was the strength of this website!

To see if any authors had joined since its inception a month ago, and what works were already in the database!

But as soon as she saw it! Zhen Yu’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor!

"Ah..."
