Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 742 Chapter 741 "First Intimate Contact"

Fang Minghua picked up the mouse and opened the column with great interest, and found that there were very few articles in it.

"There aren't many submissions, right?" he asked.

"Well, it has been running for more than a month, and there are only six submissions, and the number of visits a day is only a few dozen." Dai Jiali told the truth.

"Don't worry, take your time." Fang Minghua comforted:
"How many people in China can access the Internet now? How many people know about this website? Even fewer can write something here. But I believe that it won't be long before Under the Banyan Tree will become the most eye-catching literary website on the Chinese Internet!"

"That's what I thought, too." Dai Jiali was encouraged and continued, "I discussed with Xiao Chen and the others whether we could select some of the literary books that Shengshi Books is about to publish that are suitable for publishing on the Internet, and publish excerpts of the excellent storylines on the website. This will increase the popularity of the website and also promote the works."

"Well, this is a good idea." Fang Minghua immediately agreed: "Of course, you can also write about Xiao Chen yourself. President Dai said that you like literature, so you can try to write."

After saying this, Fang Minghua looked at Chen Wanning.

"Okay, Teacher Minghua, I'll try." Chen Wanning said.

"Teacher Minghua, can you write an article for the website? Encourage us." Dai Jiali took the opportunity to make a request.

"Sure." Fang Minghua agreed readily: "After I finish writing it, I will send it to the mailbox of your website."

Very good!
After visiting Dai Jiali and his colleagues' literary website, Fang Minghua had a conversation with Shu Bin, the CEO of Shengshi Books, hoping that he would fully support the website.

"Minghua, of course I will give you my full support, but I want to say a few more words," Shu Bin said.

"Oh?"

"I don't think their literature website has any profitability. It's still small now, and the investment is not high, but once it grows bigger, it will definitely be a money-eating beast, just like Dai Jiali and others said!"

He is indeed the CEO of a large company and has a sharp eye.

Many literary websites in the early days of the Internet eventually went bankrupt because they were not profitable, such as Mop.com and Xici Hutong. Didn’t even the most popular Tianya Community have to close down in the end?

The youthful memories of a generation were finally buried.

Now that Shu Bin raised this question, Fang Minghua replied with a smile: "I know, but don't worry, there will be a solution."

Shu Bin didn't know what solution Fang Minghua was talking about, but he didn't dare to ask more.

He is the real boss of the company!

After visiting Shengshi Building, Fang Minghua drove with the children to take a look at the old villa on Julu Road. Although it still looked a bit desolate, it was much better than the last time. At least there were fewer weeds in the garden.

It seems that Zhao Hongjun asked someone to clean it up.

After spending another two days in Shanghai, Fang Minghua took her three children and flew back to Xijing.

After getting on the airport bus, Fang Minghua first sent Minmin back to her grandparents' home, and then took her two children back to Nanfang Lane.

They were greeted by the enthusiastic German Shepherd Bean Sprouts.

Song Tangtang went to Yanjing and hasn't come back yet. Only the nanny Xiaoqin is at home.

As soon as he got home, Fang Minghua urged his two children to finish their summer homework quickly - they had been playing outside for almost half a month and it was time to get back to work.

While the child was doing homework in his room, Fang Minghua was in the study thinking about what she had promised Dai Jiali.

Since it is online literature, it is best to write about things related to the Internet.

"First Intimate Contact".

Fang Minghua thought of this online romance novel, which is known as the "pioneering work of online novels."

The whole story is not complicated. A girl named Qingwu Feiyang saw a post with a very unique personality on the Internet, and became curious about the owner of the post, Pizi Cai.

They chatted online, made arrangements to meet, watched movies together, ate French fries and drank Coke together. During their relationship, the two were evenly matched in the silent verbal battle, and each found fun in themselves, and their hearts gradually became compatible.

However, things did not go as planned, and Qingwu Feiyang's butterfly disease ended this relationship. After Qingwu Feiyang passed away, all he left behind were a few letters and endless memories of the long night. The whole story does not mention love, but love is everywhere, and reading it makes you feel lost.

Once the novel was released, it caused a huge response on the Internet. Some classic words in the novel quickly flowed into real life and became the catchphrases of many fashionable men and women.

The joke writers on the Internet also imitated it continuously, writing "The Second Close Contact" and "Another Close Contact".
If viewed from the perspective of pure literature, this novel is a bit childish and somewhat casual, but Fang Minghua did not want to write traditional pure literature. Instead of that, it would be better to go to a bookstore and buy a few physical books to read.

Fang Minghua turned on the computer, opened a blank Word document, and began to practice.

The beginning and the end of "First Intimate Contact" are very interesting. The two groups of posts by Pi Zi Cai and Qing Wu Fei Yang are both in the form of poetry;
I met her online. How did it start? I don’t remember clearly, but it seemed to be because of a post of mine! That post read:

“If I had 10 million, I could buy a house.

Do I have ten million? No.

So I still don't have a house.

If I have wings, I can fly.

Do I have wings?No.

So I can't fly either.

Even if I pour out all the water in the Pacific Ocean, it won't extinguish the fire of my love for you.

Can the entire Pacific Ocean be poured out?no.

So I don’t love you.”

The end is:
If I have one more day to live, I will be your girlfriend.

Do I have another day to live? No.

So, unfortunately, I am still not your girlfriend in this life.

If I had wings, I would fly down from heaven to see you.

Do I have wings?No.

So, unfortunately, I can no longer see you.

Even if you pour out all the water in the bathtub, it cannot extinguish the flame of my love for you.

Can you pour out all the water in the bathtub? Yes!

So, yes. I love you.

Outside the window, green trees shade the sky and unknown birds sing happily. The room is very quiet, with only the sound of Fang Minghua typing on the keyboard.

Fang Minghua likes this very innocent story very much, first love is beautiful.

In fact, I am no longer young.

Whether it was the stumbling before traveling through time or the smooth sailing after arriving in this era, they are no longer young.

But I am still moved by this story.

Although the novel is titled "First Intimate Contact", the intimate contact is limited to the unconscious touch of the fingers of the male and female protagonists.

A good love may not have the resoluteness of "Even if the mountains are gone, the sky and the earth are united, I will never break up with you", nor the profundity of "Ten years of life and death, I can never forget you without thinking about you". A good love is more like a cup of tea, without ups and downs, plain and simple but leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Just like a sour lemon that always envies the sweet scent of peaches, good love will help it know itself, like itself, and be itself.
