Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 88 - 87: Release of the Second Volume, Going Abroad

"Thank you," Ning Ruoxi said softly, her eyes welling with emotion as she looked at the young man before her.

’The fact that Ye Ling could stop just now proves he isn’t just after my body. Otherwise, he never would have stopped.’

’And if he had insisted on continuing, I probably wouldn’t have resisted... but I would have felt a little...’

"Silly girl, what are you thanking for?"

Ye Ling reached out, ruffled Ning Ruoxi’s hair, and said with a smile, "It’s true, I wasn’t considering your feelings just now. It won’t happen again."

And Ye Ling truly ant it.

’He hadn’t actually planned on going all the way with her; he just wanted to tease her a bit... But he’d underestimated Ning Ruoxi’s charm, and things had almost gotten out of hand.’

"Well, I’m going to get back to work~"

Feeling a little apologetic, Ning Ruoxi rose onto her tiptoes, gave Ye Ling a quick peck on the lips, and then fled the room.

Ye Ling touched his lips, a smile spreading across his face.

"That silly girl."

Ye Ling shook his head, clearing it of distracting thoughts.

’He’d been far too impulsive today.’

...

Ti flew by, and soon, the release date for the second volu of *Lingxi’s Love* arrived.

This ti, the manga’s release was accompanied by rchandise like keychains, mugs, and other items.

Shengding Group now considered *Lingxi’s Love* a major IP for the company. Various spinoff products were being released one after another, and plans for film and television adaptations were even in the works.

Ye Ling didn’t pay much attention to these matters, leaving them entirely in Zhu Yun’s hands.

Of course, she wouldn’t ss it up. After all, *Lingxi’s Love* was being built up as Shengding Group’s signature IP. If the spinoffs failed to satisfy the fans, it would have a huge impact on the company’s image!

Within half an hour of its release, sales for *Lingxi’s Love* broke the 100,000 mark, and it once again shot to the top of Weibo’s trending list.

*Lingxi’s Love Volu Two Released, Youths Step into Society!*

The narrative in this volu was different from the first. The first volu focused on the innocent love between a student couple, while this one saw the protagonists step into the adult world...

Society, compared to school, presented far more challenges. And it was through these challenges that the once-immature young man and woman gradually matured.

It was safe to say this volu had far more depth than the first.

Normally, such a plot would feel oppressive—after all, the adult world is incredibly complex. However, Ning Ruoxi’s art style prevented it from feeling that way.

The protagonists certainly encountered difficulties; their relationship was even battered by the pressures of society. But Ning Ruoxi’s art style seed to possess a certain magic, guiding readers from experiencing hardship toward the path of overcoming it.

The overall feeling of this volu was still one of healing, and it conveyed a core idea: youth is inevitably filled with regrets.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be youth!

In fact, many people harbor all sorts of regrets from their younger days. These regrets can linger even after they start their careers or get married, never truly letting them find peace...

This volu undoubtedly resonated deeply with such people, helping them resolve their inner conflicts.

The next day, the internet was flooded with positive reviews for the second volu of *Lingxi’s Love*. Many bloggers and influencers posted articles, marveling that the series had transcended the aning of a simple manga.

It was less a manga and more a microcosm—a reflection of everyone’s youth in the current social landscape!

It was no longer limited to just entertainnt; more importantly, it also had educational value.

The second volu of *Lingxi’s Love* was destined to be a sensation!

Within a week of its release, dostic sales in Xia Country had already surpassed five million copies, and the number was still climbing.

*Citizen Daily* even ran a special feature report on the manga, giving it the review: "Answering the call of the tis, purifying the soul."

For *Citizen Daily*, Xia Country’s state-run newspaper, to dedicate a special feature to a manga—this was a first!

This just went to show the imnse impact of the work’s release.

That was the dostic situation. Abroad, the manga was also making enormous waves.

Ever since the first volu of *Lingxi’s Love* beca a hit, Shengding Group had been attempting to introduce it to foreign markets. And despite it being their first venture overseas, the results had been excellent.

Building on that foundation, the overseas release of the second volu was a runaway success, with sales in just seven days actually surpassing those in the dostic market.

Six million copies!

These sales ca from the United States, East Asia, and various countries in Europe!

It was clear that with *Lingxi’s Love*, Shengding Group had successfully taken its first step onto the global stage!

"Ye Ling... is... is this real?"

Reading the report from Shengding Group, Ning Ruoxi stared blankly at Ye Ling.

Clearly, she had never expected such a massive market response!

"Of course it’s real."

Ye Ling replied with a faint smile.

*Lingxi’s Love*’s market success was, to so extent, inseparable from his early promotional efforts. But the most important factor was the quality of the work itself.

After all, the fans weren’t idiots. If they had pushed out a piece of utter crap, who would have bought it?

There was one thing Ye Ling hadn’t expected, however: that *Lingxi’s Love* would achieve such staggering sales numbers overseas!

Six million copies!

That number even surpassed the seven-day sales in the dostic market!

"*Lingxi’s Love* is just too good! I spent all morning reading the second volu, it’s amazing! Can’t wait for volu three!"

"Sigh, who knows when the third volu will be released. I’m so excited for it..."

"But what I really want to know is why Ye Ling doesn’t have a Weibo account! WAHHH!"

...

Most of the online comnts expressed anticipation for the next volu, while so hoped that Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi would post more about their daily lives.

Seeing the comnts, Ning Ruoxi made a post on Weibo. She thanked everyone for their support and explained that, due to her studies, the third volu of *Lingxi’s Love* would not be released anyti soon...

After a mont of thought, she also posted a video that Luo Yue had happened to record during their last short video shoot—a clip of the two of them standing opposite each other against a sunset.

The mont she posted it, the entire internet erupted!
