Wishing Everyone a Happy National Day in Advance, and a Note on the National Day Update Schedule

Originally, July hadn't planned to travel during this National Day holiday, because there would be too many people and I was afraid of getting trampled to death ←_←. I'd only planned to have a small get-together with a few friends I hadn't seen in ages, then make a trip back to my hometown. Updates would continue as usual.

But just now, my editor sent me some good news: on the 1st and 2nd, I could get recommendations across all channels. I was so excited I was about to smash my mouse, but then the editor's next sentence made me calmly set it back down—the all-channel recommendation had to be followed by a big update burst, around twenty thousand words... But I only have two chapters saved up... And I'm planning to go back to my hometown on the 30th, which means I'll barely be able to write for more than a day... I feel like I'm done for...

No choice, then. I'll have to ask for leave. First, I'm asking you readers for leave, because these next few days, I honestly don't know whether I can write up twenty thousand words' worth of drafts. There'll only be one update today and tomorrow—I'll get two chapters done first. Then I'll ask my workplace for leave. I'd originally already taken the 30th off, and if I ask for one more day, my boss will probably understand ←_← Of course, even if he doesn't, I'm taking the leave by force.
