I resolutely quit my job and concentrated on writing at Grace's house while looking for a new place to live. In fact, the royalties from these years have far exceeded my salary of 3,000 yuan, which is enough to support my life. I once proposed the idea of full-time writing to Derek, but he ridiculed me. Now, I can finally pursue my dream freely.

As expected, Derek blamed me on WeChat when he found out I had quit my job. I was so annoyed that I sent him a message saying “We’ve broken up” and blocked him. My mom called to persuade me, but I hung up on her. I knew that my mom was just like Derek, always expecting me to live according to their wishes. But this time, I wanted to live for myself.
