Chapter 107: Chapter 106: Qin Shan's Novel Has Concluded

In Dorm 502, Gu Yu and his two roommates surrounded Qin Shan, all wearing faces of concern.

Since being ruthlessly dumped by Wan Jinfeng, Qin Shan neither cried nor yelled; the first thing he did upon returning to the dorm was to open his computer and furiously type away without pause.

"Bro, don't bottle it up—if you want to cry, just cry."

Gu Yu sat next to Qin Shan, his eyes full of worry.

He wasn't afraid of his third brother crying or even threatening to hang himself; he was afraid of him saying nothing, keeping all his sorrow and frustration locked up inside.

Nobody knew when he might finally snap.

People with this kind of personality often do something foolish and unacceptable when they collapse!

Qin Shan was his good brother; he didn't want anything bad to happen to Qin Shan over a woman not worth it.

"Yeah! Laosan, cry a little! I feel uneasy if you don't cry!"

Yu Laoer was also very concerned; he and Gu Yu were on the same page.

He, too, was afraid that Qin Shan might hurt himself from all this pent-up emotion.

Unspoken sorrow is the most heartbreaking!

"Laosan, cry! Are you going to cry? If you don't, I'll make you cry!"

Boss Pu saw that after Gu Yu and Yu Shutong had been persuading for so long, and Qin Shan was still indifferent, he lost his temper and was ready to give Qin Shan a physical release.

Luckily, Gu Yu was quick-witted and pressed the boss down in his chair.

"Boss, what are you doing... That's not how you comfort someone, is it???"

Yu Shutong was speechless too—Boss's approach was utterly misguided!

But no matter how the three of them persuaded him, whether kindly or harshly, Qin Shan still treated their consolation as if it were wind by his ear, his hands rapidly typing on the keyboard.

Glancing over, Gu Yu saw that Qin Shan was writing a novel instead of a suicide note, which slightly relieved him.

He sighed, turned away, and went off to chat with Lin Xinyue.

Seeing this, Boss Pu and Yu Shutong also decided to leave Qin Shan be for the time being and went about their own business.

And so, the silent atmosphere in the dorm room continued until evening.

Finally, as the sun was about to hide behind the library, the quiet Qin Shan, who had been sitting all this time without speaking a word, stood up and stretched satisfyingly.

"Ah—That feels good! Finally finished."

Qin Shan looked at the screen displaying the author's dashboard, where a campus romance novel titled "My Youthful Days with Jinfeng" had been updated to a completed status.

With only three hundred thousand words, it certainly qualified as a prematurely abandoned novel by web fiction standards.

But for Qin Shan, the book was complete.

Not all love stories end perfectly, the imperfect ones are actually the majority.

He had spent an afternoon writing an unsatisfactory ending.

Just like his own love story with Wan Jinfeng, it ended inconclusively.

"This is how it ends? Damn eunuch!"

"Damn, I've followed this for three months, and now it's over? Author, send me your address, I want to send you a local specialty!"

"Ah, what a pity that Qin Shan didn't end up with Jinfeng. Surely this is the author's own story, right? It's alright, I understand. I hope you can do better in your next book!"

"Sympathy for the author! The heroine is your girlfriend, right? That's really too despicable!"

After a quick scan of the readers' comments, Qin Shan saw some cursing him for leaving the story unfinished, while others, more empathetic, guessed it was autobiographical and offered comfort in the review section.

For those cursing him, Qin Shan could only sigh with a wry smile.

And for those who sympathized with him and even supported his next book, Qin Shan was genuinely touched.

"Sigh…"

He closed the author's dashboard, shut his laptop, and took a deep sigh.

It was as if he wanted to expel all the gloom in his heart with that breath.

Suddenly, his phone in his pocket vibrated.

Qin Shan took out his phone, two messages waiting.

The first was a Fetion message from "Feng Baby": I'm sorry, Shan, I deserve better.

Qin Shan paused for a second, then swiped the message away.

He looked at the second message.

'[Huaxia Merchants] Modu Youth Literature Information Technology Co., Ltd. made a royalty payment of 13,555 Huaxia Coins into your account 2323 on September 29th, 2020 at 19:30. Your balance is 27,645 Huaxia Coins.'

This was the royalty payment he had just applied for from the website after finishing his novel.

It was also all the royalties earned from the book that recorded his own love story with Wan Jinfeng.

Looking at the bank balance that had doubled, Qin Shan just couldn't muster any joy.

When he wrote this book, his primary goal was to use it to commemorate his romance with Wan Jinfeng, and secondly, he wanted to use the royalties to take Wan Jinfeng on a trip to Sanya.

That's because Wan Jinfeng had mentioned to him three months ago that she wanted to see the sea.

His original plan was to cash out this royalty payment two days later during the National Day holiday, then take Wan Jinfeng on a joyful trip to Sanya.

Now, however, everything had turned into a pipe dream.

The only reality was the money that had indeed been deposited into his account!

"It seems I haven't lost out."

Locking his phone, Qin Shan laughed to himself, the smile clearly carrying a hint of self-mockery.

But now that they had broken up, he had so much money. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He no longer needed to pinch pennies every day to save for the royalties; his quality of life was bound to skyrocket!

With this money, wouldn't it be great to treat his brothers to a carefree time?

With that thought, Qin Shan quickly turned around and shouted to his friends,

"Guys, how about going out for barbecue tonight? My treat!"

However, he only saw two bright, white faces and a dark shadow that suddenly sat up on the bed, "Treat? Who's treating? Let's go!"

The shadow was Boss Pu, who had fallen asleep on the bed after playing with his phone for a while in the afternoon.

Boss Pu rubbed his eyes, recognized Qin Shan, and then dove back under the covers.

"Forget it, Laosan, you got dumped today, there's no way we're letting you spend money"

Boss Pu muttered.

Gu Yu and Yu Shutong continued to play with their phones, heads bowed.

The prospect of Qin Shan treating them left them just as uninterested.

Qin Shan pouted, clearly, he was the one who had been dumped, so why did these three guys seem so listless?

He walked over to the switch, turned on the dorm room light, tried to rouse Boss Pu from his bed, and then turned to the other two guys.

"Bros, you know I got dumped today, won't you come out for a drink with me? Let's go, help me take my mind off things."

Qin Shan gave Yu Shutong and Gu Yu's shoulders a hard pat.

Gu Yu looked up, staring straight into Qin Shan's eyes.

After four or five seconds of scrutiny, confirming that his ease wasn't feigned, Gu Yu stood up briskly and said, "Sure! Let's have a drink, it's on me!"

Yu Shutong also stood up and nodded his head.

Qin Shan shook his head and patted his chest, "I'm loaded now, I'm treating today, don't try to fight me on this."

Gu Yu shrugged and went along with it.

Meanwhile, Boss Pu started snoring on the bed again.

All three turned their heads to look ...

"Damn, my pants got pulled over my head, watch what you're doing!"

As Boss Pu was dragged off the bed, still somewhat dazed, someone managed to pull his waistband tight over his forehead.

Swearing, he had no choice but to dress himself.

Thirty minutes later, the four of them were sitting at West Gate Barbecue Stall.

With the first plate of barbecue served, Qin Shan downed three skewers of pork belly in no time, then grabbed a bottle of beer.

He slapped the table, "Guys, watch this, I'm going to spin one!"

"Great! I'll record a video, I'll say start and then you spin!"

Boss Pu quickly pulled out his phone and opened the camera.

"Start!"
