I'm sorry, everyone. I originally planned to finish the novel before the 10th. According to my outline, only about 50,000 to 60,000 words were left. But after updating a few days ago, I was tempted by a bottle of good wine brought by a friend. I accidentally drank too much, and my stomach, which had bled before, failed on the spot, and I was rushed to the hospital.

Originally, I wanted to ask for leave with the author assistant the next day, but because my friends and family took me to the hospital so quickly, I didn't bring my old phone, so I couldn't receive the verification code needed to log in. Plus, my family and friends were extremely worried about my health and forced me to rest for two days on the doctor's advice. Therefore, it wasn't until this afternoon that my family agreed to bring my laptop over from home.

In fact, apart from the fact that my stomach hurts when I drink water, and I can only drink porridge for the time being, there wasn't much of a problem the night of the stomach bleeding. But after being sent to the hospital... you know, my constitution is -20, and my injury tendency is high. This two-hundred-pound fat guy from the southwest doesn't have a single good spot on his body, including his fingers. It's just that my unlucky body is almost ready for the suona, a shroud, and the whole village waiting for the dishes to be served.

Now that I have my laptop, I expect updates to resume tomorrow. After all, it's the final plot, and although the general direction is not suspenseful, some small pits still need to be filled in.

In short, thank you all for your concern for A Qiao. Also, this leave request is not to sell misery, because to put it bluntly, this body of illness is mostly my own fault. I can't blame the heavens or anyone else.

I can only say...

The luckiest thing in my life should be writing "The Cheat" and "Da Tie," because at least it makes me feel like I have a little bit of presence.

Thank you again to all the handsome readers for your concern for A Qiao!

I will definitely try to get better!
