The next morning, Han Yue strolled downstairs in soft home clothes—oversized hoodie, comfy shorts, and mismatched socks. Her hair was tied in a lazy bun, and she held a cold carton of milk like a sleepy squirrel.
"Ahh… finally a peaceful day…" she murmured.
Wrong.
Her phone buzzed. A message from Assistant Chen popped up like a summoned ghost.
"Miss Han, the final scheduled deliveries have arrived at the warehouse. Please confirm receipt before noon."
"...Haa?" Han Yue squinted at the message, then groaned. "I thought I had no plans today!"
Still, duty called.
She headed over, where Assistant Chen was already supervising the unloading crew. The last batch of shipments for the week was being stacked into the warehouse. Trucks and forklifts buzzed in and out as boxes were moved into their designated storage spots.
There were crates of:
Takeout meals packed for distribution,
Massive bulk items from wholesale markets,
Garments, shoes, shampoo, soaps, tissues, and snacks,
Tons of vegetables, fruits, and a shocking amount of nearly-expired food and medicine.
Han Yue raised a brow at the sheer volume. "Are we opening a mall?"
Assistant Chen adjusted his glasses. "These are the final retail acquisitions for the current batch. Next wave will shift focus—bankrupt businesses and expiring goods only. We'll store them here long-term and you can pick them up as needed."
"Okay." Han Yue nodded. "Leave 'em for me to hoard later."
After confirming everything, she returned home alone.
The silence greeted her like an awkward butler.
"...It's too quiet." She slumped on the sofa, hugging a pillow. "I'm bored."
She opened her phone. Thought for a second. Then smiled mischievously.
"Let's cause some chaos."
She tapped [Start Livestream].
Within two minutes, the chat exploded.
[HanYue_Fanclub01]: OMG SHE'S LIVE!!!
[MilkteaBaby03]: Yueyue!!! How are you today???
[KDramaKing]: Did she really move to the countryside?
[SniffsniffSadboi]: Wait wait—what happened to the dog??? Why's he injured?!
[KittenFreak2002]: ARE THOSE YOUR KITTENS??? Tell us everything!!
Han Yue chuckled. "Aiya, calm down! One question at a time!"
She leaned into the camera and started with the kittens.
"Well, the black kitten found me first. He came up to me, pawing at my leg, crying little meow meows. Looked like he hadn't eaten in days…"
She paused for dramatic effect.
"I followed him into an alleyway. There, under a pile of boxes, I found his sibling—the white kitten. Curled up under their mama cat, who… didn't make it."
The chat slowed.
[CryWithMeMeow]: 😭😭😭
[SadHamster]: This is too painful…
[GhostWithWiFi]: She really buried the mama? Yueyue you're too kind 😭
Han Yue nodded softly. "I buried her. The kittens were so small and scared. I didn't have the heart to leave them."
Wiping imaginary tears, she grinned and switched gears. "Now, for the doggo drama!"
The chat brightened again.
[MelonHunter98]: Yes!! The melon!! Spill it!!
Han Yue giggled. "Okay so—yesterday, I visited a pet hospital. Just randomly, y'know? And I saw this big drama going on. A rich jerk was yelling at the vet, calling his dog useless because 'he doesn't listen to orders'."
Her voice turned mockingly dramatic. "'This dumb thing disobeyed me during a robbery! What kind of useless guard dog is this?! I'm not paying!' Then he stormed out."
She pointed at the camera. "Didn't even pay for the vet bill. Just left the dog there, injured."
The chat exploded.
[AngrySnacks4U]: Trash man!! ABSOLUTE TRASH
[NosebleedJustice]: Yueyue should have kicked his shins
[TrashManGoBack]: Refund his humanity
[Justice4Doggos]: I swear if that guy shows up IRL I'm throwing rotten eggs 😤
Han Yue smirked. "Meanwhile, I was in the corner. Eating melon. Just vibing."
Everyone: 😳🍈
"The vet saw me and was like, 'Do you want him?' Then told me the dog's background—trained guard dog, loyal, even saved his owner from thugs."
She paused and looked serious. "So I walked up to the dog and said, 'Do you wanna live a salted fish life with me?' And you know what?"
She pointed at the camera with a smug look. "He licked my hand. That's a yes."
[SaltedFishCouple]: I'M CRYING 😭
[SimpForStrays]: Yueyue you're literally a stray magnet
[FluffyHero99]: From abandoned to adopted… you're amazing!
The comments turned into a flood of hearts, puppy emojis, and teary faces.
After chatting more—answering questions about her new countryside life....
"Alright, I'll rest now. Go touch grass, you internet gremlins."
[InternetGremlin666]: Yes ma'am 😭
[CryinButHappy]: Thank you for saving them 😭
[DoggyDad24]: Can't wait for the next update!!
Han Yue ended the stream.
She closed her phone with a satisfied sigh.
Back to silence.
She sprawled on the couch, grabbed a snack, and turned on the TV.
On-screen, a romance drama was unfolding—but all Han Yue could think about was how her life had slowly turned into one. A salted fish heroine, two kittens, one guard dog, a space farm… and an army of netizens ready to follow every chapter.
She smiled.
Not a bad day.
