Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 472 So many friend requests that my computer crashed
Cao Sheng did not stop Tan Yu from massaging his shoulders.

Why stop it?
Was she uncomfortable with the pressure?
"Don't you have evening self-study tonight?"

Cao Sheng started a conversation.

Tan Yu felt a little awkward standing next to him and massaging his shoulders, so she took off her slippers, got on the sofa, knelt behind Cao Sheng, and massaged his shoulders with both hands.

Upon hearing this, she casually replied, "You know our school, right? Whether or not we attend evening self-study is entirely voluntary, and nobody cares. Missing one evening self-study session won't be a problem."

Cao Sheng smiled.

"Not necessarily! Some class advisors are quite responsible and require everyone to attend evening self-study sessions every day."

Tan Yu was a little surprised, "Really? Our school has counselors like that?"

Cao Sheng hummed in agreement.

He handed her the freshly poured cup of tea, asking, "Would you like to try some?"

Tan Yu: "Okay! What kind of tea is it?"

She reached out and took the teacup.

Cao Sheng: "Flower tea."

Tan Yu: "Oh? What kind of flower tea is it? It smells so good?"

Cao Sheng: "Several kinds of flowers are mixed together."

Tan Yu brought her nose closer and took a sniff, then smiled and said, "It smells so good! You usually like to drink this?"

Cao Sheng chuckled, "No! I don't usually drink this."

Tan Yu: "Then how do you have this kind of tea?"

Cao Sheng: "I bought it to entertain a beauty like you."

Tan Yu took a sip, glanced at the back of Cao Sheng's head, and her expression changed slightly. Cao Sheng's words made her think that beautiful women might often come to Cao Sheng's place.

She also thought of Cao Sheng's official girlfriend, Huang Qingya.

She was unaware that Cao Sheng had already broken up with Huang Qingya.

Cao Sheng has not told anyone about the breakup.

Unlike some women who, after a breakup, want to announce it to the whole world, or even declare that they've removed their IUD, he doesn't.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, he didn't think breaking up was something to be proud of, so he didn't want to make it public.

Secondly, he didn't want to date anyone else in the short term. Not announcing his breakup with Huang Qingya would give him a lot of peace and quiet. With Huang Qingya as a shield, other women wouldn't ask him to start a formal relationship.

He thinks this is good.

Just like now, Tan Yuming was thinking of Huang Qingya and also thought that there might often be beautiful women here, but because she thought Huang Qingya was still Cao Sheng's girlfriend, she did not show it even though she felt a little uncomfortable.

Not only did he not show it, he even asked in a evasive manner, "Brother, do you have a sore back from sitting in front of the computer writing all day? Why don't you lie down and I'll massage your back?"

Cao Sheng was a little surprised.

I never expected her to make such a request.

Adhering to the principle of not going against a woman's wishes, he smiled and nodded, "Alright! Then thank you for your trouble."

Tan Yu: "Hey! What's so hard about this? Just lie down! As long as you don't mind my clumsiness, that's fine."

"Row!"

Cao Sheng also took off his slippers, lay down on the sofa, turned his back to her, and waited for her service.

Tan Yu sat down next to him with a slightly flushed face. With her slender hands, she first rolled up her sleeves, then raised her hand to smooth the strands of hair that were hanging down by her ears. She took a deep breath and began to massage Cao Sheng's waist.

Actually, Cao Sheng is still very young, and he has a habit of practicing boxing every morning, so he has no problems with his back at all.

Before his rebirth, he had developed back problems due to sitting in front of the computer typing for many years, and he would occasionally go somewhere to massage his back.

When he had a girlfriend, he would let her step on him.

After being reborn, she never had anyone step on her back again.

Thinking back now, I actually miss the feeling of having my back stepped on back then.

That's why the feeling of Tan Yu's hands on his waist was like scratching an itch through a boot, making him very uncomfortable. He really wanted to ask: Did you not eat dinner tonight?
Of course, he didn't actually ask that.

Instead, she smiled and said, "Tan Yu! Do you know how to give back massages? Why don't you stand up and let me give you a massage?"

"Back step?"

Tan Yu paused for a moment, looked at Cao Sheng's waist, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll stomp you to death? I'm not light, I weigh at least 90 pounds."

Cao Sheng chuckled, "It's alright! Try standing on it!"

He once dated a tall and strong girlfriend, who was 172 cm tall and weighed over 120 kg. When she massaged his back, he didn't mind as long as she didn't playfully jump on his back; he just felt comfortable.

A jade weighing over 90 jin (approximately 45 kg)?
Cao Sheng wanted to suggest that she hold something in her hands so that he could step on it.

"Okay! I'll give it a try? If it doesn't work, just let me know!"

Cao Sheng hummed in agreement.

Soon, Tan Yu got up, put one hand on the wall, and tried to step on Cao Sheng's back with the other foot.

"Is it okay? Maybe we should just forget about it? I'm really afraid I'll hurt you."

She was a little scared.

Cao Sheng: "It's alright! Come on up!"

"Really coming up?"

"Ah."

Encouraged by Cao Sheng, Tan Yu cautiously tried to stand on it, not daring to move at all. "Brother, are you alright? Can you handle my weight?"

Cao Sheng: "Mmm, that feels good! Walk around a bit, don't just stand still."

Tan Yu never dreamed that she had specially changed into sexy lingerie before coming here tonight, only to find herself having to give Cao Sheng a back massage.

But since she was already on his back, all she wanted now was to please Cao Sheng, so she listened to him and carefully stepped on his back.

Cao Sheng felt that she was indeed a bit too light, and her footing wasn't very effective; it was only passable.

As Tan Yu continued to walk, her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Because she gradually discovered that no matter how much she stepped on him, Cao Sheng seemed to be able to withstand it, and would occasionally let out comfortable groans.

With her mind and body relaxed, she walked more and more casually, her gaze fixed on Cao Sheng beneath her feet. But she couldn't help but recall the boy who had knelt down on one knee with flowers to confess his love to her downstairs in the dormitory that evening. Thinking of this, she gave a self-deprecating smile.

She thought to herself: I'm such a jerk. I have suitors who kneel down and confess their love to me, but I have no interest in them. Instead, I have to come here to give Cao Sheng a back massage.

I wonder what that classmate would think if they knew I was giving Cao Sheng a back massage right now?
I walked for more than half an hour.

Tan Yu got off Cao Sheng's back, sat down to the side, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

Cao Sheng also got up from the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and just as he finished drinking it and put down the cup, Tan Yu put her arm around his and kissed him on the cheek.

Cao Sheng turned to look at her.

Tan Yu looked at him with a flushed face and her eyes were fixed on him.

She doesn't look like Qian Zhenyu, but she does have a similar aloof temperament.

Seeing her looking at him like that, Cao Sheng stared at her for a few seconds, then reached out with his right hand, hooked his index finger under her chin and lifted it up slightly, to a height suitable for him to kiss, before leaning in and kissing her rosy lips.

Tan Yu suddenly became very proactive, hooking her arms around Cao Sheng's neck and opening her mouth to actively chase after Cao Sheng's mouth.

Cao Sheng, who no longer has a girlfriend, could no longer restrain himself tonight.

Since Tan Yu is being so proactive, what else does he have to worry about?
A beautiful woman, as lovely as a flower, will eventually be possessed by a man.

If he hesitates, he's destined to benefit another man.

All animals living in this world are fighting for three rights: the right to survival, the right to possess resources, and the right to reproduce. This applies to other animals as well as humans.

Human society has developed to the point where it seems completely different from ancient times. In fact, the only difference is the material world.

The human spiritual world has not changed much.

Cao Sheng's mind was wandering, thinking about all sorts of random ideas, while Tan Yu seemed to be thinking of nothing at all. Despite it being her first time, she was very proactive.

It seemed they were afraid that Cao Sheng would fail at the final hurdle again, just like he had done before.

Anyway, she was much more proactive than Cao Sheng tonight.

late at night.

On the bed in the master bedroom.

The clouds collect and the rain stops.

Cao Sheng got up and dressed. Seeing this, Tan Yu hesitated for a moment, then also got up and dressed. Perhaps because Cao Sheng hadn't spoken, she wanted to find a topic to break the silence, and the first topic she came up with was: "Want me to massage your back for a while longer?"

Cao Sheng paused in buttoning his shirt, then turned to look at her with amusement. "No need! Maybe next time!"

Seeing the smile on Cao Sheng's face, Tan Yu felt a little relieved and smiled back, "When can I come to see you next time?"

She consciously placed herself after Huang Qingya, afraid that Huang Qingya would discover her relationship with Cao Sheng. Therefore, she dared not come here without Cao Sheng's permission.

Cao Sheng chuckled, "The weekend! If you're free this weekend, you can come over."

Tan Yu was secretly delighted and subconsciously moved closer to Cao Sheng, taking his arm and asking, "Should I tell you before I come?"

Cao Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it would be best to schedule a time. I write novels, so weekends don't really matter. Sometimes I'm quite busy on weekends too."

Tan Yu responded with an "oh".

I was somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Cao Sheng opened the bedside table drawer, took out an envelope from the drawer, and found it bulging with 10,000 yuan in cash.

This was the pocket money he used to give Huang Qingya.

Whenever Huang Qingya came to his place in the past, he would give her some pocket money whenever he remembered.

Although she always said she didn't need it and that she had her own money.

But every now and then, when he remembers, he'll still slip her some pocket money.

Because he knew he didn't like shopping and rarely accompanied her shopping, he got into the habit of giving her some pocket money so she could buy whatever she wanted.

He and Huang Qingya have now been broken up for some time.

The 10,000 yuan I had specifically put in this drawer hadn't been touched.

"Give!"

Cao Sheng casually handed the money to Tan Yu.

The envelope wasn't sealed. Tan Yu peered through the open opening and saw the banknotes inside. Her expression changed slightly. "This...this...Brother, what...what do you mean by this? I..."

Seeing her reaction, Cao Sheng smiled and casually stuffed the envelope into her hand. "Don't misunderstand! This is for your allowance. Your family probably doesn't give you much money for living expenses, and I'm not short of money. I don't have time to go out with you to buy anything. Take this money. Buy whatever you want. When you run out, remember to tell me and I'll give you more."

Tan Yu: "Like this?"

Cao Sheng hummed in agreement.

Tan Yu then smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

……

The night is deep.

Cao Sheng asked Sun Liang to drive Tan Yu back to school, while he himself carried a pot of tea to the study on the third floor.

He really didn't want to write tonight, and now that it's late, he doesn't want to write anymore.

But he doesn't want to sleep yet.

I just wanted to kill some time online.

As he turned on his computer, he remembered that he had posted his QQ number below the introduction of "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" today, and couldn't help but wonder how many readers had sent him friend requests on QQ.

The computer booted up successfully.

Cao Sheng logged onto QQ immediately.

As he expected, his QQ avatar kept flashing, and he heard a coughing sound in his headphones.

He kept clicking on the flashing QQ avatars with his mouse, and friend requests popped up one after another, piling up on his computer screen.

One, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty...

At first, he was still in the mood to count the number of friend requests.

But as he counted, he lost count.

There were just too many people sending him friend requests.

He even wondered if all those friend requests would crash his computer.
After all, computer configurations weren't very high these days.

really……

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he worried that so many friend requests might crash his computer when his screen went blank.

No matter how he clicked on his QQ avatar or tried to move the mouse cursor, there was no response on the computer screen.

Cao Sheng gave a bitter smile.

Suddenly, as if someone had frozen me in place, the screen turned blue.

Cao Sheng: "..."

He clearly has plenty of money, but he can't afford a high-spec computer.

With a wry smile, he restarted the computer.

Fortunately, after restarting the computer and logging into QQ, it finally didn't crash or blue screen again.

He patiently accepted all the friend requests one by one. Before he could accept all of them, the accounts that had already accepted the requests started sending him private messages.

Shallowly Dyed and Defiled: "Ah Hui! Is this really your QQ number? You actually made your QQ number public, how dare you? Haha, I actually added you as a friend, hehe."

Seven Stars Telegram: "Grey, you're still not resting? Have you finished writing tonight's manuscript?"

Sui Yuchuan: "Hey, Ah Hui, you're online at this hour? I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you to come online today!"

Yu Xin Jie: "Author, I'm curious how many people have added you as a friend since you announced your QQ number today? With so many people adding you, can you really keep up with all of them?"

Mingxin Sword Master: "Ah Hui! When are you going to write a novel with picking up girls as the main plot? I really want to learn your techniques for picking up girls. Seriously, do you even know how to write a novel like that?"

"You really are just a speck of dust in the Central Plains? You actually made your QQ number public? Have you lost your mind? Don't you know how many fans you have? Tsk tsk."

……

Cao Sheng kept clicking on the flashing QQ avatars. Sometimes friend requests popped up, and sometimes private messages from his book fans would appear.

Seeing a fan named "Rowing Down to Hell with a Sword" asking himself if he didn't know how many fans he actually had, Cao Sheng was amused.

He actually didn't know how many fans he had.

He only knew that he must have many fans.

Putting aside other places, just on Qidian.com alone, there should be hundreds of thousands of book fans, some of whom have subscribed to his works, while others have not subscribed for various reasons.

He knew why the book lover asked that question.

He actually expected that many fans would add him as a friend after he announced his QQ number.

He wasn't confident he could have private chats with so many book fans.

But he knew that these successful fans, who were also his friends, were his most valuable assets. If he didn't let these fans contact him sooner, and waited until QQ launched its group function and other authors opened their fan groups, these fans who liked his works might join other authors' fan groups, and over time, they might become die-hard fans of other authors.

While publishing his QQ number has made him busy dealing with so many private messages from his fans, it has in fact solidified his fan base.

He believed it was worth it.
