Senior Sister, Shut Up!

Chapter 36: It’s Not Good to Peek

Around 5 p.m., after finishing the bubble tea deliveries with Senior Sister, Jiang Miao immediately patted his butt and bade farewell.

Now that she knew his secret, he felt completely passive when they were alone.

The moment Senior Sister called him Peach Jam, he felt as though she had grabbed his Achilles’ heel, rendering him utterly powerless to resist and leaving him at her mercy.

If possible, it was better not to be caught by her in the future.

Fortunately, classes for second-year students officially started tomorrow, so Senior Sister wouldn’t have the time to keep paying attention to him, and he could finally breathe a little easier.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Miao walked back to the west sports field, took out his phone, and opened the Xidian Reading app.

He had been so caught up in delivering bubble tea with Senior Sister that he had forgotten that this afternoon was the time for his recommendation spot to be updated.

He clicked on the ‘Featured’ tab at the bottom to enter the homepage, then selected ‘Categories’ to enter the genre page. Afterwards, he clicked on ‘Light Novels’ and came to the light novel category page.

Next, he scrolled down, crossing the Editors’ Choice and the Weekly Featured sections, and found the Featured New Arrivals section.

And there it was—Jiang Miao’s My Girlfriend Is a Content Creator was proudly displayed at the number one spot in this section!

Happy~

This was a joy that only authors could experience.

In particular, when you looked at your novel climb step by step from trial recommendations to Galaxy Recommendations, Editors’ Choice, Popular Picks, and even Cover Recommendations, an indescribable sense of accomplishment would instantly fill your entire being.

It was probably similar to getting full marks for an essay during your school days and having it posted on the bulletin board by your language teacher for everyone to see.

But since most students didn’t have the experience of getting full marks for their essays, let’s use another example here.

For example, a poor student suddenly repented and began to take their studies seriously. After putting in hard work, during the final examinations, they shocked the world and skyrocketed from a ranking of over 600 into the top 100, earning a special mention from the school.

Hmm… This example seemed to be even rarer.

In short, Jiang Miao was feeling fantastic right now.

One word: awesome~

He opened the author’s dashboard and saw that the total reading lists for his novel was already more than 4,500.

In the morning, it was only a little over 4,000.

Counting from 2 p.m. to now, nearly three hours later, there were approximately 300 new reading list adds.

This increase was very good!

Jiang Miao clenched his fists in excitement, and his depression from being teased by Senior Sister was swept away.

According to this momentum, if he could maintain an average daily increase of 1,000 reading lists, his new novel would be on more than 10,000 reading lists next week!

Five digits in reading lists…

It was worth noting that his previous novel had only reached 10,000 reading lists at around 325,000 to 400,000 words.

Moreover, this was with a push from an editor’s recommendation.

Without the editor’s boost, with the reading list count only at 2,400 when it went premium, who knew when he would have been able to achieve the milestone of 10,000.

And now, his new novel had only reached about 75,000 words, but it was on the verge of 10,000 reading lists!

This success was completely unimaginable when he first started writing the novel.

Who would have thought that there were so many male readers who enjoyed reading sweet and romantic stories?

Turns out, they were all kindred spirits.

[Ten Thousand Words a Day Writing Group]

[I Am the Emperor Immortal]: (Picture)

[I Am the Immortal Emperor]: Brothers!!!!!!

[I Am the Emperor Immortal]: My manuscript has passed!!!!!!

[Cat in the Snow]: Congratulations, you’ve evolved from a minor flop to a major flop.

[White Rice Vinegar:] Kaishan has really worked hard.

[Peach Jam]: Immortal, you’re unstoppable! Hitting ten thousand subscriptions is just around the corner!

[I Am the Immortal Emperor]: Hmph. Old Thief White Vinegar, just you wait. Once I go premium, I’ll cut off your head!

[White Rice Vinegar]: Let’s see if you can get past the trial recommendations first. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You might not make it to premium before your story is canned.

[Ao 10K]: Daily 10,000 Word Count Taskmaster invites you to the Orange Melon Word Sprint. Target: 15,000 words. Room: Know Your Limits.

[Ao 10K]: @everyone, the ride’s about to start. Hop on. We’re leaving in ten minutes.

[I Am the Immortal Emperor]: Wuhu~ Off to the small dark room. Charge!

[Cat in the Snow]: I haven’t finished my thesis. I’m going, bye.

[White Rice Vinegar]: Can you make the word count lower next time? 15,000 is really tedious.

[Peach Jam]: Indeed, 3,000 words is more practical.

[I Am the Immortal Emperor]: Hmph, you’re all trash! Watch me crush you thieves today!

[White Rice Vinegar]: The royalties for one of my chapters is at least equivalent to ten of yours.

[I Am the Immortal Emperor]:

With a faint smile and shaking his head, Jiang Miao silently mourned for Immortal.

Everyone in the group had known each other for two to three years and had good relationships with each other. They were already used to such teasing and sarcasm, so there weren’t any issues.

He opened the writing software on his phone, entered the room ‘Know Your Limits’, and then put away his phone.

Writing 10,000 words a day was impossible, let alone 15,000.

This kind of writing room was a relatively popular feature of the writing software.

Everyone joined the same room, and each person’s word count would be displayed in real-time on a list, ranked from top to bottom by the number of words written. This could encourage other authors to write more.

However, for an experienced writer like Jiang Miao, 3,000 words a day was already routine, and he wouldn’t be affected by such incentives.

There were as many words as there should be.

Despite being only a first-year, he had been writing for three years and had long since moved past the phase of being excited to see his name at the top of the word count ranking.

Entering the writing room was mainly to be supportive and give praise to the big shots who hit the daily 10,000 words.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Hey, haven’t you written today yet? I saw this morning that you only wrote a few hundred words.

Just as Jiang Miao returned to the sports field and sat in the stands to wait for the military training to end, Senior Sister sent another message.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Though]t: I wrote an extra chapter yesterday. I only need to write another chapter today.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: … Can’t you save up some chapters? At least stockpile a bit and do a mass release when your novel goes premium.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Stockpiling chapters is impossible. Yesterday’s hard work was just to let me relax a little today.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: I really want to hit you.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Aren’t you going to go to the debate team tonight? Is there still time for the remaining chapter?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: I should be able to return to my room before 10:30, right? There’s still time.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Doesn’t that mean you’ll have to stay up late again?

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: It’s fine. I’ll catch up on sleep tomorrow at the Political Work Group.

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: Sure, that’s fine. Get more sleep so that I can read more of your drafts~

Jiang Miao immediately recalled the fear of being controlled by Senior Sister this morning.

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Senior Sister… it’s not good to peek…

[Zhouzhou Loves Congee]: So it’s okay if I read openly? How about I observe you writing when I’m free?

The thought of Senior Sister sitting beside him and watching him write made Jiang Miao feel uncomfortable.

Especially since each of his chapters included intimate scenes, how could he let anyone watch?!

[Miaomiao is Deep in Thought]: Please spare me…
