(Group 1 Editor) Lemon: "(Image) I love this one the most, the dark moon rises in the night, countless cold stars silently emerge. A storm is brewing under the cloud, not far behind the protagonist, preparing to create huge waves. He’s gearing up to escape in the opposite direction but becomes hallucinated out of fatigue, and sees clouds resembling a galaxy in the night sky. Thus, he immediately decides to steer his lone boat towards the nebula, crossing the waves, shouting in rage; damn it, I want to go home... It’s hilarious yet sad, and together with the painting which vividly depicts the grand scene of that time, the artistic elements are maxed out!"

(Group 6 Editor) Peanuts: "Did Yi Liangfeng draw these paintings himself or did he hire someone?"

Midsummer: "He drew them himself. But could you please talk more about the flaws? He’s waiting for my review."

There was a brief silence in the group.

From Group 2, Bao Dao said: "From years of experience, I truly sense the book has a kind of ’seeking the highest path’ vibe, so I can only give one feedback; write more!"

...

...

"Got it, writing. I’m trying to save up tens of thousands of words and then release them."

In fact, without the editor urging, Li Peifeng already understands how many strokes the word diligence has. When Midsummer called after reviewing the manuscript, he was sitting in front of the computer, typing away. Occasionally pausing, he was in contemplation.

It’s been seven days since Jade District went into lockdown, and if nothing out of the ordinary happens, at least seven days more remain.

With half the lockdown period over, many residents in the community could not stand the confinement’s depression and signed up to be volunteers. While some have a spirit of devotion, most just want to go downstairs for a walk utilizing work convenience, having stayed stiflingly indoors for too long.

Thus, the volunteers in Jade District are increasing, but the workload remains limited, with everyone scrambling to do tasks. Li Peifeng also has more time to type away in his attic. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Besides necessary meals, he hardly goes downstairs and reduces face-time with the three girls, fostering a peaceful coexistence, unlike the earlier days, which often had waves of drama or sudden cold wars.

Li Peifeng focuses more on creation, and when inspiration is lacking, he chats with the three girls about things in dreams at the table, gradually clarifying his thoughts.

Under such conditions, Li Peifeng instead feels that perhaps being in lockdown isn’t entirely without benefits.

Today at five, Li Peifeng, feeling dizzy from typing, checked the time and prepared to go down and cook, only to find Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan busy in the kitchen, with Zhao Qingge sitting at the dining table picking vegetables.

"Don’t need me to cook today?"

Li Peifeng casually asked, Wu Wenyue waved her hand: "Go write, Sister Xuan and I will cook."

Ah, it’s comforting.

Such days where beautiful ladies surround me at home, and meals served, I could live a lifetime!

Li Peifeng laughed inside, glanced around, then sat next to Zhao Qingge to help with picking vegetables.

After dinner, everyone tidied up the dishes together, and after washing up, Li Peifeng was planning to head upstairs. Just as he sat in front of the computer, his phone rang.

A three-member WeChat group named [Fortunate Three-Treasures] popped up on the screen, Xu Manning initiated a video call.

The group members are Li Peifeng, Wu Wenyue, and Xu Manning. This is the Xth three-member WeChat group set up by President Xu after [Happy Family] and [Joyful Family] were dissolved in recent days.

The group serves for the three to chat idly, or phone sex...

As for the group’s name, naturally Xu Manning named it, though Li Peifeng proposed changing it several times without getting approval, he eventually gave up.

"Manning?!"

"You returned! Weren’t you supposed to be delayed by several days in coming back to the Capital?"

During the video call, both Wu Wenyue and Li Peifeng were in their bedrooms, looking surprised, as Xu Manning appeared to be outside the Capital Airport, making the call.

"Things got resolved smoothly, and I’m back on schedule!" Xu Manning displayed a happy smile on her tired face, but Wu Wenyue showed hesitation: "But don’t you have to also..."

Xu Manning immediately frowned: "Yes, just like you, I have to quarantine at home!"

The two laughed at this, each offering comfort.

Even though Xu Manning returned to the Capital, she couldn’t come to the Jade District, which was under lockdown, to see them, as she had a fourteen-day quarantine ahead. Only when Jade District was unsealed could the three meet.

Thus, Miss Xu’s return didn’t affect the life of the four within Jade District.

The days passed monotonously, occasionally He Yimeng would send WeChat messages to Li Peifeng, saying things like ’Being an emotional trash bin all day yesterday really put a lot of psychological pressure on me’ ’Hurry over, someone gave me a case of soda, do you want it?’

Li Peifeng’s answer was certainly no!

At the beginning of the lockdown, supplies were relatively scarce. For the sake of his home and the happiness of three women, he reluctantly adopted a labor-for-materials approach, getting some fruits from He Yimeng.

Now, with the lockdown half over and supplies from the community frequently delivering snacks and fruits, no household in the community lacks extra provisions, so Li Peifeng naturally wouldn’t trade his body for mere supplies!

Though He Yimeng’s previous gifts were system-converted into cash, helping in gaining lottery opportunities, Li Peifeng was honorable and unyielding, firmly resisting He Yimeng’s temptations...

"No, keep it and drink it yourself!"

Li Peifeng couldn’t help but type another line: "It’s broad daylight, I just finished breakfast, chill a bit, even if it’s nighttime, you know?!"
