Chapter 191: Time to Prepare Silently (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
At night.
In the small room on the second floor, Sun Quan is still coding words, unlike in the morning, although he is also coding words at this time, there is a small video chat box in the upper right corner of the computer screen, the video should be a dormitory, you can see blue blue sheets, iron frame beds, white walls, and Yuan Shuiqing.
Yes, he was in the video with Yuan Shuiqing.
But he didn't speak, and Yuan Shuiqing in the video didn't speak.
Are they in the Cold War?
The answer is: NO!
The truth is more cruel, especially unfriendly to single dogs, they are obviously on video, but they are doing their own thing, Sun Quan is concentrating on the codeword, Yuan Shuiqing is reading a book by the bedside over there, this is before she returned to the University of Science and Technology, Sun Quan made an appointment with her, and she will pass the video every night, until one of them sleeps.
What do you have to say, at the beginning and end of the video, it is said that the middle of the video should be like radio silence, do not interfere with each other, and when I made this suggestion to her, Sun Quan said this: "In the Internet era, we can completely achieve the end of the world, anyway, the Internet fee is monthly, no need to use it in vain!"
Yuan Shuiqing probably thought it was very interesting, so she agreed, and then there was such a scene tonight, at both ends of the video, one was in the code word, the other was reading a book, an hour, two hours passed, and there was zero communication with each other, but occasionally when he raised his eyes to look at the other party in the video frame, he would smile heartily, and felt that the other party was beside him, accompanying him.
This idea is actually not original to Sun Quan.
He remembers a long time ago, there was a news that two top students were in two cities and two universities, and the two of them were watching videos every day, but when they were on video, they were studying hard for each other.
Well, those two top students are a man and a woman, so what is enviable between them is love.
Before Yuan Shuiqing left, Sun Quan suddenly thought of that news, and used it without any psychology, and at present, the effect is good.
The beginning of the new book must be unpleasant, Sun Quan deleted and wrote, occasionally stopping to frown and think for a moment, or longer, he only coded three chapters in a day, except for the third chapter, which is a 3,000-word chapter, and the other two chapters are 2,000 words.
This can be said to be quite low compared to the efficiency of his "My Decathlon" last month.
But compared with most online writers, his efficiency is quite high.
The once extremely popular "golden three chapters" in the online literature circle is not groundless, the so-called golden three chapters are the first three chapters of each book.
These three chapters almost make the difference between life and death in a book. This statement has been accepted as truth by countless authors.
As a result, countless online authors have spent a lot of thought and energy on the first three chapters, and it is the norm to change drafts several times, and it is not for nothing that the three chapters have been grinding for several months.
Unfortunately, Sun Quan happens to be not a fan of the golden three chapters, he doesn't believe in that set of theories, but he has been doing what he has been doing to write the first three chapters with his heart.
He will work hard, but he will not apply the standard writing method of the golden three chapters, he doesn't like those rules and regulations in his bones, and he hates to write his articles like others.
At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Yuan Shuiqing's voice suddenly came from the video, "Sun Quan, are you still writing? It's not early, I want to sleep, how much do you still have to write?"
Hearing the voice, Sun Quan typed a few more words before he stopped, casually enlarged the chat box in the upper right corner, and said with a smile: "It's soon, the chapter at hand is probably over with a few hundred words, well, then you go to sleep first! I'll sleep after writing this chapter." ”
Yuan Shuiqing nodded, "Okay, that's it, let's talk again tomorrow!"
Sun Quan: "Well, good night. ”
Yuan Shuiqing waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Good night!"
Then the video ended, and it wasn't greasy at all.
Sun Quan lit a cigarette, refreshed himself, rested for a while and continued to code the chapter just now, for him, this is a calm and fulfilling day, life is calm, his heart is also calm, and the fulfillment is that he is coding words day and night.
Time is like water, and for a long time to come, Sun Quan's life is almost like this.
The manuscript on hand is enough to cope with the daily update of "My Decathlon".
His time and energy are basically focused on the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", and he opens the video with Yuan Shuiqing every night, and a faint warmth permeates each other's hearts.
Then, he was relieved that she had been in another city for so long, on a campus he hadn't been to, where there might be her suitors, and maybe a crush ready to confess to her on the eve of graduation.
But because he has a video with her every night, he is very down-to-earth.
And she is not worried about someone going out at night and doing something that the children cannot witness and the whole society is disappointed on the days when she is not there.
During this period, Sun Quan went to participate in the opening of his sixth branch.
Anyway, when he was about to drive to the opening of the branch that day, there was an incident - because he had been at home for too long, the Jetta he parked in front of the store, the battery couldn't catch fire because of the loss of power, twisted the car key, and the engine was like dead, and he didn't snort.
Then the guy remembered that he hadn't used the car for too long, and the battery must have run out of electricity.
What else can I do? I can only call someone from the car repair company to come and help him get the electricity on, and put a wire from the battery of another car to help him start the car.
Because of this, 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 was on video with Yuan Shuiqing at night, after telling Yuan Shuiqing, Yuan Shuiqing couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only suggest that he drive out for a walk twice in the future.
In late July, Yuan Shuiqing finally attended the graduation ceremony and successfully got her graduation certificate, but she still couldn't come back to accompany Sun Quan, because Shenxing Computer Training School also has a summer vacation, although this school will hold short-term adult training classes in the summer, but that kind of short-term training class does not need Yuan Shuiqing to mix.
And this summer, she said that she was going back to accompany her grandfather and grandmother, how could Sun Quan refute this reason?
Grandpa and grandma are already her closest relatives, and the two old people are probably looking forward to their granddaughter going back to accompany them during the summer vacation, can he compete with the two old people for favor?
Pressing the disappointment in his heart, Sun Quan smiled and comforted Yuan Shuiqing in the video on the surface, "It's okay! I've been very busy lately, and I just don't have much time to accompany you when you come over now, so you can go home and stay for a while! When you're enough, give me a call, and I'll pick you up by car when the time comes!"
Look! Isn't that pretty?
In fact, he also needed the comfort of others.
It's not easy for empty nesters and empty houses to stay alone!
"Well, okay, but when I get home, when we video every night, it may be inconvenient occasionally, such as when my grandma or grandpa suddenly wants to enter my room, I will turn off the video immediately, you have to be mentally prepared!"
In the video, Yuan Shuiqing smiled and gave him a vaccination.
Sun Quan was unhappy in his heart, but his mouth should be very cheerful, "It's okay!
……
The days continued to pass day by day, as Yuan Shuiqing went home, when they watched the video at night, there would be occasional problems, when her grandmother suddenly brought her the cut fruit, she would suddenly turn off the video; Sun Quan's high school classmate and Yuan Shuiqing's cousin Han Li went to her house during the day, and stayed at her house at night, and when they slept with Yuan Shuiqing, the whole video of the two of them was in vain; when a high school classmate invited her out to a party at night, he had to wait for several hours before she was online.
The baby is bitter, but the baby never says.
Sun Quan is not a baby, but he doesn't say it either.
On the night when he couldn't communicate with Yuan Shuiqing, he tried to concentrate on writing the story of "The Rings 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 unconsciously, and the antidote was herself, and he was so poisoned that he couldn't stop the medicine for almost a day.
In this way, the time flickered and passed through the already hot July, and Sun Quan's manuscript of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" also saved more than 210,000 words.
He was originally going to write so many words in two months, but he didn't expect to write enough words in one month.
As for the quality, how?
He had carefully reviewed and revised them three times, and he also sent these manuscripts to Yuan Shuiqing to read, and Yuan Shuiqing became the first reader of his new book.
And after she watched it, she gave him the impression in the video: "I think it's well written, I like it, it's very creative......!"
Speaking of this, she frowned as if she was considering how to describe it, and paused for a few seconds before continuing: "It's also quite witty and humorous, it's really good!"
When she praised it, her expression was sincere, not like lying, but Sun Quan didn't dare to believe it, because a passage from an ancient text he learned when he was in high school flashed in his mind.
The name of that ancient text seems to be "Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi".
He had memorized that ancient text before, so he still remembered that passage was: "Whoever is beautiful to my wife is selfish, and he who is beautiful to me is afraid of me, and he who is beautiful to me is to ask for me." ”
The gist of this sentence is: My wife praises me because she has an intimate relationship with me, my concubine praises me because she is afraid of me, and my guests praise me because she asks for me.
This passage tells us a truth - the people around us who are close to us, or those who are afraid of us, or those who ask for us, cannot take our praise seriously.
Therefore, Yuan Shuiqing said that his book "Immortal Dragon Ring" was very well written, and Sun Quan was skeptical.
He couldn't believe it.
"You've got so many new book manuscripts, when do you plan to publish this book?"
In the video, Yuan Shuiqing asked him curiously.
Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry! I'm going to send it to the publishing house first to see what the review opinions are like, and if it can successfully pass the review of the publishing house, I'll post it on the Internet later." ”
Yuan Shuiqing was a little surprised, "Publishing house, do you mean that the Taiguan Publishing House, which is publishing your book "My Decathlon"?"
Sun Quan nodded, "Well, yes!"
