Chapter 28: Zhou Yi Wants to Hit Someone!

~8 min read 1,470 words

Many people may not understand why some people have "morning irritability."

But many people can empathize with one thing: when someone who usually doesn't sleep well is finally about to fall asleep at night and is suddenly woken up, what kind of feeling that is!

I can say without reservation that it is a harmonious society that saves those guys who wake others up!

Imagine you usually don't sleep well, often suffer from insomnia and neurasthenia, feel extremely sleepy but toss and turn unable to sleep when you lie down, and today, after a Supernormal Performance, you are finally about to fall asleep under various psychological suggestions.

Your consciousness is already a bit blurred, and you are about to begin a wonderful journey with the God of Dreams.

But just at this moment, all kinds of noises suddenly come to wake you up; your heart starts pounding wildly—what kind of thoughts would you have?

And Zhou Yi feels very irritable right now, extremely irritable!

His sleep is certainly not that bad, after all, he is still a young man, but anyone would be irritable if woken up while about to fall asleep, and especially woken up by such violent noise.

That thumping sound on the ceiling really sounds like someone is constantly bouncing a ball.

Are they crazy!

Zhou Yi is dazed; he picks up his phone to check—it's 12:30. What is this? It's this late and they are still playing with a ball instead of sleeping.

Shouldn't one be lying in bed playing with a ball at this hour?

Filled with dissatisfaction, Zhou Yi lies back down, forcibly trying to make himself close his eyes and sleep, but the sound from upstairs is just so perfectly timed; every time he starts to feel sleepy, it gives him a thud, making all sleepiness vanish instantly!

"Is this even letting people sleep..." Zhou Yi lies there with his eyes open, looking helpless.

Perhaps he didn't choose a good time to move in today?

After all, people are particular about Feng Shui when moving, and one must choose a good day.

Can't sleep, really can't sleep; Zhou Yi's sleep is already light, and it's hard to sleep with any sound in the room, let alone the loud thumping sound from upstairs right now.

There's no help for it; Zhou Yi just assumes his luck isn't great and that he might have just happened to run into it.

After all, he has only moved in for less than a day, so it's hard for him to say anything; perhaps today is just special.

However, he still turns on his phone's camera and points it at the ceiling; this is the experience he gained from Lawyer Fang.

No matter when, no matter what happens, and regardless of whether it might or might not be useful in the future, one must remember to preserve evidence!

And among all types of evidence, let alone the probative value in a legal sense, just speaking of evidence from the simplest perspective of an ordinary person, video and audio recordings definitely have significant probative value.

So, although Zhou Yi didn't think too much, he still felt that he needed to have some "things" first.

The thumping sound upstairs continues, and finally, past one o'clock, when Zhou Yi is so sleepy he can barely breathe, the noise upstairs finally stops.

Finally, I can sleep... This is the only thought Zhou Yi has as he drifts off in a daze.

But the next day, he still wakes up on time; damn biological clock, he can't sleep at all once it hits that time.

This Small Residential District is good in every way, except that it's hard to sleep.

Since he is missing quite a bit of food at home, Zhou Yi takes the opportunity to check out the commercial facilities around the Small Residential District; after all, this will be his home from now on.

His job is gone, and the Labor Arbitration hasn't started yet; being suddenly free like this, he feels a bit at a loss.

But Zhou Yi tries hard to adapt; he will have to get used to this kind of life in the future.

Actually, his video has really gone viral this time; although the previous video was quite good, it was only within the circle, relying on Yuan Jie's fans to get popular.

But now that the second video is out, coupled with the apology letter from the Company, it's like dropping a huge bomb!

The video's view count, coin donations, favorites, comments, and a series of other data are skyrocketing.

And as more and more people flood in to watch this video, the comment section, which previously only had a few regular "board pets" like Idle Cloud Wild Crane, starts to become discordant again.

Some people feel that Zhou Yi has gone too far!

Because they think, isn't it just that the account was recovered? You should just act as a punishment; why not issue a Letter of Forgiveness? Being caught once, they must have already realized their mistake.

However, it is clear that many people still believe this is exactly what should be done!

Repay evil with kindness—how then will you repay kindness?

It was clearly the account-recoverer who did wrong, so why can't I fight back? Does it mean that because I fought back and then didn't forgive the other party, it's my fault?

Notre Dame is still missing a bell-ringer.

With nothing to do, it's quite fun to look at these silly comments, and Zhou Yi also starts cleaning up his private messages now.

Because he was too busy before and the private messages suddenly exploded, he didn't have time to manage them, but now that he is idle, he might as well.

Moreover, he needs to find inspiration to see how to trigger the next event, or if he can't trigger an event for the time being, what to film for the next video.

This video updating is like updating a web novel; if you update slowly or delay for too long, people naturally won't watch you anymore; they aren't specifically looking to be abused.

However, while cleaning, Zhou Yi discovers a few unusual private messages.

The reason they are unusual is that these few private messages were sent by Yuan Jie!

Yuan Jie actually sent me private messages before?

Looking at the content of the messages, at first, she was asking when he would post the follow-up video, and later, perhaps seeing that he didn't reply, she got annoyed.

Looking at the inexplicable words like "You have the guts to post a video, but no guts to reply to my message?", Zhou Yi is suddenly caught between laughter and tears.

After weighing it, Zhou Yi replies with a message: "Yuan Jie, I am very sorry, I didn't notice your messages before; thank you for helping me promote the video, thank you."

After writing it, he checks it carefully, finds nothing wrong, clicks send, and then quickly exits.

Zhou Yi doesn't know what's going on, but now, after sending a message to someone, he is most afraid of the other party replying instantly, because he wouldn't know what to do next...

If he replies, he doesn't know what to say; if he doesn't reply, it seems impolite; it's just very awkward...

Amidst this busyness, time arrives at night once again.

This time it is only ten o'clock, and Zhou Yi goes to bed early; tonight, not even the King of Heaven can stop him from getting a good night's sleep!

Two hours later...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Are you crazy! Are you not letting people sleep!"

Zhou Yi sits up from the bed and shouts directly at the ceiling!

It seems the person upstairs heard his shout, and the sound stops.

Huh? It actually had an effect; if he had known it would be effective, he would have yelled at him sooner.

However, just as Zhou Yi was preparing to lie down and continue sleeping, the sound rang out again.

Ahhhhh! Zhou Yi had the urge to hit someone!

But now he truly felt a bit strange; that's not right, there are so many residents living upstairs and downstairs, he didn't believe that he was the only one who could hear this sound.

At best, he should be the one hearing the loudest sound, but others, such as the neighbors to the left and right as well as the residents upstairs, should also be affected.

No, Zhou Yi felt he must go and ask about the situation tomorrow!

The second update is here, five thousand words every day, not a single word less!

Thanks to the two big brothers, Stewed Fen Head and Two Taels of Wine and Heaven and Earth 93, for the tips, thank you.
