In the small room on the second floor, Sun Quan was still typing. The difference from the morning was that although he was also typing at this time, there was a small video chat box in the upper right corner of the computer screen. The other end of the video should be
In a dormitory, you can see blue blue sheets, iron bed, white walls, and Yuan Shuiqing.
Yes! He is in the video with Yuan Shuiqing.
But he didn't speak, and neither did Yuan Shuiqing in the video.
Are they in a cold war?
The answer is: no!
The truth is cruel, especially unfriendly to singles. The two of them were obviously video chatting, but they were doing their own thing. Sun Quan was concentrating on typing, and Yuan Shuiqing was leaning on the bedside reading a book. This was before she returned to the University of Science and Technology.
Sun Quan made an appointment with her to have a video call every night until one of them goes to bed.
If anything, say it at the beginning and end of the video. The middle of the video should be like radio silence, without interfering with each other. When he suggested this to her, Sun Quan said this: "In the Internet age, we can definitely do it.
Even if we are close to each other, the Internet fee is paid monthly anyway, so if you don’t use it, it will be in vain!”
Yuan Shuiqing probably thought it was interesting, so she agreed, and then there was a scene like this tonight. At both ends of the video, one was coding and the other was reading. One hour or two hours passed, and there was no communication between them, but occasionally
Whenever you look up at the other person in the video frame, you will smile knowingly and feel that the other person is right next to you, accompanying you.
This idea is actually not Sun Quan’s original creation.
He remembered that a long time ago, there was a piece of news about two top academics who lived in two cities and two universities. They talked to each other every day, but when they talked on video, each other was studying seriously.
Well, those two top students are a boy and a girl, so what is enviable between them is love.
Before Yuan Shuiqing left, Sun Quan suddenly thought of the news and used it without any thought. So far, the effect is good.
The beginning of the new book was definitely not fast to write. Sun Quan was deleting and writing, occasionally stopping to frown and think for a moment, or for a longer period of time. In one day, he could only type out three chapters, except for the third chapter, which was three thousand words long.
chapter, and the other two chapters are both two thousand words long.
Compared with his efficiency in coding "My Decathlon" last month, this can be said to be quite low.
But compared to most Internet article writers, his efficiency is quite high.
The term "Three Golden Chapters" that was once extremely popular in the Internet literary circle is not groundless. The so-called "Three Golden Chapters" refer to the first three chapters of every book.
These three chapters almost determine the life or death of a book. This statement has been regarded as truth by countless authors.
As a result, countless online article authors spend a lot of thought and energy on the first three chapters. It is common to revise the draft several times, and there are many people who have spent several months working on the three chapters.
Unfortunately, Sun Quan happened to not be a fan of the Three Golden Chapters. He didn't believe in that theory, but writing the first three chapters carefully was what he had been doing.
He will be careful, but he will not apply the standard writing method of the three golden chapters. In his heart, he does not like those rules and regulations, and he hates writing his articles in the same way as others.
At around 11 o'clock in the night, Yuan Shuiqing suddenly heard a voice in the video, "Sun Quan, are you still writing? It's getting late and I want to sleep. How much do you still have to write?"
Hearing the sound, Sun Quan typed a few more words before he stopped, casually zoomed in on the chat box in the upper right corner, and said with a smile: "Come on, the chapter at hand probably has a few hundred words left, so you can go to bed first."
Come on! I'll go to bed after writing this chapter."
Yuan Shuiqing waved his hand, smiled, and said: "Good night!"
Then the video ended, not boring at all.
Sun Quan lit a cigarette to refresh himself, rested for a while and then continued to read the chapter. For him, it was a peaceful and fulfilling day. His life was calm and his heart was calm. What was fulfilling was that he spent all day and night reading.
Character.
Time flies by like water, and for a long time in the following days, Sun Quan's life was almost like this.
The archives on hand are enough to cope with the daily updates of "My Decathlon".
His time and energy were basically focused on the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon". He and Yuan Shuiqing would video chat every night, and a touch of warmth filled each other's hearts.
Then, he was assured that she had been in another city for such a long time, on a campus that he had never been to. There might be her suitors there, and there might be secret admirers who were ready to confess to her on the eve of graduation.
But because he talks to her on video every night, he feels very at ease.
And she doesn't worry about someone going out at night when she's not around, doing things that the children won't be able to witness and the whole society will be disappointed.
During this period, Sun Quan attended the opening of his sixth branch.
It is said that when he was preparing to drive to attend the branch opening that day, an embarrassing incident happened because he had stayed at home for too long. The battery of the Jetta he parked in front of the store actually failed to start due to loss of power, and the car started to spin.
The key and the engine seemed to be dead, and they didn't even hum.
Then the guy remembered that he hadn't used the car for a long time, and the battery must have been drained.
What else can I do? I can only temporarily call someone from the car repair company to come over and help connect the power supply, and connect a wire from the battery of another car to help him start the car.
Just because of this matter, he was delayed for more than half an hour, and in the end he almost failed to catch up with the opening of his sixth branch. When he told Yuan Shuiqing about this matter on video in the evening, Yuan Shuiqing couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only suggest him
I'll drive out for a couple of walks if I have nothing to do next.
In late July, Yuan Shuiqing finally attended the graduation ceremony and successfully received her diploma. However, she still could not come back to accompany Sun Quan because Shenxing Computer Training School also had summer vacation. Although the school held short-term adult training classes during the summer vacation,
That kind of short-term training course does not require Yuan Shuiqing to mix it up.
And this summer vacation, she said she wanted to go back to spend time with her grandpa and grandma. How could Sun Quan refute this reason?
Grandpa and grandma are already her closest relatives. The two old people have probably been looking forward to their granddaughter going back to accompany them during the summer vacation. Can he compete with the two old people for their favor?
Pressing down the disappointment in his heart, Sun Quan was still smiling in the video to comfort Yuan Shuiqing, "It's okay! I've been very busy recently, and if you come over now, I don't have much time to accompany you, so just go home and stay for a while!
When you've had enough, give me a call and I'll drive to pick you up then!"
Look! Isn’t this beautiful to say?
In fact, he also needs the comfort of others.
It’s hard for empty-nest youth to live alone in an empty house!
"Well, okay! But when I get home, it may be inconvenient for us to video chat every night. For example, when my grandma or grandpa suddenly wants to enter my room, I have to turn off the video immediately. You
You have to be mentally prepared!”
In the video, Yuan Shuiqing gave him the vaccination with a smile.
Sun Quan felt unhappy, but he said cheerfully, "It's okay! I understand!"
…
The days continued to pass day by day, and as Yuan Shuiqing returned home, when they were video chatting at night, problems would occasionally arise. When her grandma suddenly brought cut fruits to her, she would suddenly close the video; Sun Quan's high school classmate
, Yuan Shuiqing's cousin Han Li went to her house during the day and stayed at her house at night. When she slept with Yuan Shuiqing, their entire video was ruined; when a high school classmate invited her out for a party at night, he asked her again.
I waited several hours for her to come online.
The baby feels bitter in his heart, but he never says it.
Sun Quan is not a baby, but he doesn't say that either.
During the night when he couldn't have a clear video chat with Yuan Shui, he tried to concentrate on writing the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon". However, it turned out that the effect was not very good.
This made him realize that he seemed to have been poisoned by her unknowingly, and the antidote was her. He was so poisoned that he could not stop taking the medicine for almost a day.
In this way, time passed by in an already hot July, and Sun Quan's manuscript of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" had reached more than 210,000 words.
He originally planned to write so many words in two months, but he didn't expect that he would write enough words in one month.
As for the quality?
He has carefully read it, revised it three times, and sent the manuscript to Yuan Shuiqing to read it again, and Yuan Shuiqing became the first reader of his new book.
After reading it, she gave him her review in the video: "I think it's well written. I like it very much. It's very creative! Also..."
At this point, she frowned and seemed to be thinking about how to describe it. She paused for a few seconds before continuing: "It's also quite humorous. It's really good!"
Her expression was sincere when she praised her, not like she was lying, but Sun Quan didn't dare to believe her completely because a passage from an ancient Chinese essay he had learned in high school flashed through his mind at that time.
The name of that ancient article seems to be "Zou Ji Satirizes the King of Qi and Accepts Admonition".
He had recited that ancient essay before, so he still remembered the passage: "My wife's beauty in me is because she is private; my concubine's beauty in me is because I am afraid of me; my guest's beauty in me is because he wants something from me."
The general idea of this sentence is: My wife praises me because of her close relationship with me; my concubine praises me because she is afraid of me; my guests praise me because they want something from me.
This passage tells us something: people who are close to us, who are either afraid of us, or who want something from us, should not take their praises seriously.
Therefore, Yuan Shuiqing said that his book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" was very good, but Sun Quan was skeptical.
He couldn't believe it.
"You have so many manuscripts for your new book. When do you plan to publish it?"
In the video, Yuan Shuiqing asked him curiously.
Sun Quan thought for a while and said: "No rush! I plan to send it to the publishing house first to see what the review opinions there are like. If it can successfully pass the review by the publishing house, I will do it later.
Post it online."
Yuan Shuiqing was a little surprised, "Publishing house? Do you mean the Taiwan Publishing House that is publishing your book "My Decathlon"?"
