Saturday, noon. The sun was shining brightly, and the weather was nice.
Zhou Lei was drooling in his sleep.
Zhou Zhenya let herself inside his room. She had a facemask, with a chisel on one hand and some materials in a sack on the other. It was unknown where she got these items.
From the night before, Zhou Zhenya was working on the design of her family's house. She replaced tiles, wallpapers, and everything else!
Her eyes had bags under them, and her face was dusty. She even coughed despite having a facemask on.
She started to work on her brother's room.
In her opinion, his room had the worst design of all. That was why she decided that it would be the last that she would do.
Unlike the other rooms which only required her to replace things here and there, her brother's room needed to be started from scratch!
"Here we go..." As soon as she said that, a myriad of noises filled the small room.
Zhou Lei's eyebrows subconsciously scrunched up. His hands covered his ears on instinct, but that did not alleviate the situation in the slightest.
Deng, deng, deng! Crack, crack, crack!
"Mhm..." Zhou Lei moaned as he was starting to wake up.
Crack, crack, deng!
Finally, Zhou Lei woke up. "Ugh... so noisy!" He stood up from his bed and looked at his little sister menacingly.
"Bro, please get out ASAP." Zhou Zhenya stopped what she was doing and stood up. She went towards the back of her brother and pushed him out of the room.
"Wait, I still need to-" In the midst of speaking, Zhou Lei witnessed his little sister glaring at him before shutting the door.
"Ah, annoying!" Zhou Lei just scratched his head. With nothing else to do, he looked around the newly refurbished house of theirs.
"This... it's good! Makes me feel like we're rich..." Zhou Lei said. "Wait, where does she get the money to buy these materials?"
He brushed off this thought and headed towards the computer room.
Both of their parents were already at work. As such, Zhou Lei was free to use the computer for himself.
He opened the door and looked inside. "Feels so modern..." He walked inside and inhaled deeply, followed by an exhale of the same caliber.
He found himself smiling as he looked around more.
However, his happiness was cut short ad he saw the severely misplaced computer at the other end of the room.
It was old and dirty, unlike the rest of the room.
"Eh... I need to replace that."
Despite making this statement, Zhou Lei had no money to buy a newer, better model. As such, he left the matter to his future self and opened up the computer as originally planned.
The computer made a boot sound, and a loud exhaust began making sounds.
Zhou Lei opened up Webnovel.com and wanted to check up on the status of his novel.
As soon as he did, his eyes widened. He didn't even need to navigate the site, his novel was posted all over the front page.
"Eh... didn't expect this!" Zhou Lei had predicted that it would get popular quickly, but he didn't expect that it would be this quick! It took only two days for his novel to captivate most of the readers...
There was also the fact that there were only 5 chapters out at the moment, but his novel had already exceeded the highest views on Webnovel.com.
With that information, Zhou Lei pondered, "With statistics like these, why haven't they contacted me yet?"
