Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 5 Classmate Tan Lei
Because he was thinking about his new book, Cao Sheng spent this New Year a little absent-mindedly.

On New Year's Eve, he was thinking about the plot of his new book.

When he went out to pay New Year's greetings on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, he was still thinking about his new book.

On the third day of the New Year, he doesn't have to go out to pay New Year's greetings.

But his cousins ​​and others came to his house to pay New Year's greetings, so he had to accompany them during the day.

It wasn't until the evening that he finally calmed down.

A person sits at the desk in the bedroom, facing the draft paper, picks up the pen and starts writing the text of the new book.

Before traveling through time, he hadn't written a novel by hand for a long time.

But now he doesn't have a computer, so he can only write it by hand. He plans to wait until the new semester starts and he goes to university, and then find a way to post the handwritten manuscript on the Internet.

Book title: "Living with a Stewardess"

Genre: Romance

Author: Zhongyuan Yidianhui
Introduction: As a third-rate freelance writer, Ding Yang's life is very boring. So, whenever he has no inspiration and can't write anything, he is used to going to a nearby bar for a drink or two. There are always beautiful women in the bar, and Ding Yang is looking forward to having a romantic encounter.

That night, he couldn't write anything again, so he went to the bar again.

Then he saw her, a beautiful woman with great looks, figure and temperament.

She was his type.

So, after drinking two glasses of wine to give himself courage, he mustered up the courage to approach and strike up a conversation.

When Ding Yang approached her and started chatting her up, he could never have imagined that a few days later, he and she would be living under the same roof.

What surprised him most was that she was actually a stewardess.

……

Cao Sheng wrote all this in one breath and then stopped writing temporarily.

Zhongyuan Yidianhui is the new pen name he recently gave himself. The inspiration for this pen name comes from the "Zhongyuan Wubai" in the original time and space online literature circle.

Once upon a time, the Five Whites of Central Plains was a joke in the industry referring to five god-level authors with explosive achievements.

Because although the sales of the works of these five great writers are extremely high and they earn a lot of money, their works are written in very simple terms, the kind that even elementary school students can understand.

Therefore, some envious and jealous colleagues gave them the nickname "Five Whites of Central Plains".

but……

As time went by, the industry gradually discovered that it was difficult for latecomers to surpass the achievements of these five great gods, so gradually, the title of the Five Whites of Central Plains became a symbol of the industry's top status.

Cao Sheng did not dare to compare himself to the Five Whites of the Central Plains.

But I also want to add the word "Zhongyuan" to my pen name.

So, I came up with the pen name "A Little Gray in the Central Plains".

It sounds quite similar to the legendary killer "A Red Spot in the Central Plains".

As for the male protagonist in the introduction of this new book... he named him "Ding Yang" because he really couldn't remember the name of the male protagonist in the book of the original time and space.

Moreover, he did not intend to copy the book of the original time and space.

He couldn't even remember the plot of the book, and couldn't copy it even if he wanted to.

He just borrowed the title of the book and the name of the heroine "Ran Jing".

Even the protagonist's occupation was set by him as a "freelance writer".

Anyway, the book in the original time and space is about a otaku and a flight attendant living together. A freelance writer can also be an otaku. Moreover, after the male protagonist really falls in love with Ran Jing, their story can be written into a work, which can add some color to the love between the male and female protagonists.

……

From this day on, Cao Sheng began to write the main text of the new book.

His parents were not used to his seclusion every day and thought he had encountered some bad things. One morning when they were having breakfast together, they asked him a few questions.

Cao Sheng just brushed it off.

I just said that the new semester is about to start, and I want to preview the courses I will take before school starts.

This reason made his parents very happy and supportive.

After that, I tried not to ask him to do any housework.

Every day when Cao Sheng stayed in his bedroom, his parents would subconsciously keep the house quiet. It was a bit like the atmosphere when he was in high school and every time he was at home.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month has passed.

On the third day after the Lantern Festival, Cao Sheng packed his luggage and set off for school. The new semester was about to begin.

Before he left, his parents gave him the entire semester's food allowance in one go, just like they did last semester.

The reason why he was given so much at one time was not because his family was financially well-off, but because both he and his wife were not well educated and it was inconvenient for them to go to the county town every time. They also did not know how to transfer money at the bank.

Therefore, I could only choose to give all the meal expenses for one semester to Cao Sheng at one time.

Cao Sheng's previous behavior also made them believe that he would not spend money indiscriminately and would not spend all the food expenses for a semester so early.

But this time Cao Sheng plans to spend the living expenses in advance.

Because he planned to use the living expenses to go online and publish his recently written new book online.

Internet access is very expensive these days, and he doesn't have his own computer. If he doesn't use the living expenses, he will not be able to publish the manuscript online in a short period of time.

As for what to do after these living expenses are raised?
He thought of two solutions for the time being.

One is to work and study, use the time after study to find a part-time job outside school and support yourself.

Another option is to try to find a rich girlfriend and live off her for a while.

Plan 1 is not difficult to operate and is very feasible.

Option 2…

Reason told him that there was little hope of success.

Even if he believed that it would not be difficult for him to find a girlfriend with his looks, it would certainly be difficult for him to find a rich girlfriend to support him.

Besides, deep down, he was a little reluctant to live off someone.

With all these messy thoughts in his mind, he took a tricycle to the county town. After getting off the tricycle, he walked to the county train station.

In the original time and space, this train station had long been abandoned, but now it is still operating normally.

There is a train to Huizhou at around 8: am every day.

So, Cao Sheng came quite early today.

When we arrived at the train station, it was not yet 8 o'clock.

There were a few passengers sitting sparsely in the waiting hall of the station, but the windows of the ticket office had not yet been opened and the conductor had not yet started work.

Cao Sheng found an empty bench and sat down, waiting patiently.

As a result, before the ticket window opened, he heard someone calling his name.

"Cao Sheng? Cao Sheng!"

It was a female voice that sounded familiar.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar smiling face.

She had a long oval face, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail. She was at least 1.7 meters tall, and even a white down jacket could not hide her amazing bust.

She is Tan Lei.

He was Cao Sheng's classmate in high school and also Cao Sheng's alumnus of Huizhou Teachers College.

The difference between her and Cao Sheng is that although Tan Lei also studied at Huizhou Teachers College, her college entrance examination score was higher than Cao Sheng's, and she studied for an undergraduate degree.

In addition, although she was looking at Cao Sheng with a happy smile and looked very cheerful at this moment, in fact, when she was in the third year of high school, she had a blank expression on her face all day long.

In her senior year of high school, she had a low presence in the class.

She just keeps her head down studying all day long. If a boy talks to her, she will frown first and most of the time won't respond a word.

But after going to college, she seemed like a different person.

Cao Sheng remembered that when he first met her by chance on the campus of Huizhou Teachers College in the original time and space, her face was full of surprise and her attitude was very enthusiastic. Not only did she take the initiative to tell him the building number and house number of her dormitory, she also asked him to visit her when he was free, and even asked him to take a bus home together during the holidays.

At this moment, Cao Sheng saw her smile and subconsciously smiled too.

Tan Lei came over excitedly with her long legs, sat down on the empty seat next to him, and said happily: "What a coincidence! Are you going to school today too? Let's buy tickets together later! And sit together after getting on the train, so that we can have a companion on the way. Otherwise, these few hours of train ride will be too boring! Don't you agree?"

Cao Sheng smiled and nodded.
