LIGHT is in the Gold Dragon Hotel. Fu Quan's wedding is finally done, and he just arrived at the hotel. He decided to stay at the hotel to relax for a bit.
But his relaxation was ruined when someone sent him a message in 〖Hello〗. It's the person who's listed in Light's list of the most annoying people in his life.
Light clicked on the notification and sighed before reading his editor's message.
Editor Brian: Hello, HeavenlySweetPotato! The deadline of manuscript submission is in two weeks. Please be good and submit your manuscript on time.
Light hissed and typed a reply.
Light Helios Lim: Then I have to trouble you, editor. I'm at Sanya and I didn't bring my laptop with me :( I won't be leaving 'til next week.
Editor Brian: Hah, you should befriend SakuraKiss! You lazy dogs. Go and work! Don't make everything hard for me! You know SweetLullaby, right? That author submitted her manuscript ahead of time. Go and let her be your example.
Light Helios Lim: Ah, no no. Lazy dogs can't use punctual authors as their example. ^◡^
Editor Brian: Looks like I can't do anything.
Light Helios Lim: Yes.
Editor Brian: Weren't you very punctual and attentive before?
Light Helios Lim: People change as time passes by :)
Editor Brian: orz Please be good and submit your manuscript before the deadline. Good bye.
Light grinned when the editor surrendered. Well, he's just teasing him. He had already finished writing the first half of his novel. He just need to write the remaining parts and everything will be fine.
The novel he's writing is entitled "Go and Find It". It's a mystery/thriller novel about a cult led by the male lead's grandfather. Later on, all of the members of the cult were found dead inside their headquarters. The killer left a clue on purpose, and that clue would lead to all of the other clues. The male lead was the one who found the clue, and he already has a suspect in his mind.
Light unlocked his phone and booked a ticket for a flight to X City. He also sent a message to Fu Quan, telling him that he's flying back to X City. The reason he's going back is that of his manuscript. He needs to finish it soon, because the deadline of the submission of the manuscript of the manhua he's writing is also nearing.
He packed up his things and had a good night sleep. The travel time from Sanya to X City is very long.
LIGHT looked around the X City International Airport and nothing had changed. It's still the same since he left for Sanya.
He stepped out of the area and a cab parked in front of him. He checked the plate number and when he confirmed that it was the cab he booked, he entered the cab and sat comfortably in the backseat.
He arrived at his parents' house in no time. Right, he's still living with his parents despite his age. He has his own villa in the city but he doesn't want to live alone, so he just chose to stay with his parents.
His parents didn't hire a maid since they lived in the house. They trained Light to be independent since then and they always left the house when Light was a kid. He's used to being alone in the hose, but his parents' house still gives him a homey feeling.
Light opened the door of the house with his own keys because the sun is still not rising. It's just past midnight and everyone was asleep. He tried to make no noise while he's entering the house.
He went directly to his room and changed into his sleeping clothes. He brought out his laptop that was hidden in his study table's drawer and brought it with him to his bed. He turned his laptop on and clicked on the icon of the writing app.
He decided to write a few chapters because his mind is very active at this time of the day. He started to type madly and the only noise that can be heard in the room is the sound of his fingers clicking madly on his keyboard.
He's currently writing the 36th chapter of his story. "It's time to write the 6th plot twist," He thought to himself.
Light's phone beeped, and he saw that it was a notification from 〔Words by You〕. He clicked on it and he was led to SakuraKiss' profile. SakuraKiss just posted a message.
SakuraKiss: I won't be updating my story for about... two weeks, I guess? I need to submit my manuscript >3< For those who understand, thank you.
Light raised his left brow as he finished reading the post. Hah, she's back? Too soon?
He lifted his finger to share her post and he added a caption.
HeavenlySweetPotato: I thought you would be gone for a week? My peaceful life is ruined again :( [Shared SakuraKiss' post]
He grinned as notifications flooded his account. He closed the app and locked his phone, but suddenly, his phone beeped again.
He checked his phone and smirked when he saw that the notification was from SakuraKiss. Only posts and updates from SakuraKiss can popup on his phone anytime. Notifications from other users are all muted.
SakuraKiss replied to his shared post.
SakuraKiss Replying to HeavenlySweetPotato : I'm giving you back your peaceful life :) I won't be posting anything 'til I finish writing my manuscript starting from today. Ppai ppai~
Light felt a bit saddened. After all, he's still a reader of SakuraKiss' stories. Her stories were really good, and it saved a lot of people, 'cause almost all of her stories are about hope and dreams.
He just continued writing and he was able to write 3 chapters before dozing off.
BLUE stared at the caption that HeavenlySweetPotato had written when he shared Blue's post.
HeavenlySweetPotato: I thought you would be gone for a week? My peaceful life is ruined again :( [Shared SakuraKiss' post]
Blue felt the rage inside her and started to type a reply for the provocative demon lord.

She didn't wait for any replies so she just closed the 〖Hello〗app and opened the writing app. She decided to be serious while writing this time because she still has more than 60 chapters to write. If she altered some scenes, it would be too rushed. The pacing wouldn't be perfect, so she'll just follow her plot that was planned ahead of time.
Her novel is entitled "326", which means "Let Me Forget." It's about a girl with hyperthymesia. A girl who can remember every details of the events in her life. The things she wanted to forget, she can't forget. She was betrayed by everyone. She's working in the Creatives Department of the company and her artwork for the advertisement of the company's product was claimed by their director to be hers. She's still under probation period, and she hadn't passed any output, so she was kicked out of the company. That wasn't the first time she was betrayed, and that would surely not be the last time.
She earnestly wrote her story's 9th chapter, it's where the first betrayal began. It's when the female lead's primary school best friend borrowed her test paper from her, assuring her that they won't be caught, but they were still caught. Because her best friend's parents are one of the shareholders of the school, only the female lead was punished.
Blue finished writing 8 chapters and the next thing she knew, the sun was already rising. She stretched her arms and saved her files. The only thing she will never forget in her entire life is saving her file after every changes she make. She learned a lot in her years of writing experience.
She went to the first floor of her house where the dining room is located and she prepared breakfast for herself. She just fried a piece of egg from the refrigerator and toasted 2 pieces of bread.
Just when she was about to have her first bite of her breakfast when her doorbell rang. She stood up from her seat and opened the door for the person who rang her doorbell.
She was welcomed by her neighbor's face. Her neighbor is a man in his 40s, still unmarried and is living alone. He's carrying a turtle aquarium in his arms.
Right, she left her pet turtle under his care when she left for Sanya.
"Uncle Rock, thank you for thanking care of Kappa." Blue politely thanked her neighbor, getting the aquarium from his arms. She bowed politely at the man and entered her own house.
She placed the aquarium at the table that was made just for it. She picked up the turtle from the aquarium and talked to it.
"Kappa, did you miss me?" Blue asked like it was going to answer. She named the turtle 'Kappa' because a Yokai that takes the form of a turtle is called 'Kappa.'
Blue rubbed the shell of the turtle and she almost dropped it when she heard voices from her back.
She carefully placed the turtle in his aquarium and faced the troublemakers who deliberately entered her house. Right, she hasn't locked her door.
"What are the two of you doing here?" She asked the two girls who entered her house without knocking.
