Me: (Shocked) You figured all this out?
She: (shy) Because I've been thinking about you, so I feel that you should be thinking about me too.
Me: (shy) We are so in tune with each other.
She: Red beans!
I understood what she meant and replied: Red beans grow in the south, and in spring they sprout. I hope you will pick more of them, for they are the most auspicious.
She: No regrets!
Me: I will never regret even if my clothes become looser and looser, I will become haggard for her.
She: (thumbs up) You understand me.
Me: (Surprised) I understand you now. We’ve only known each other for a few days.
She: Understanding a person has nothing to do with time. Some people may stay together for their entire lives but still never understand each other.
Me: (thumbs up)
She: Do you know Plato?
Me: I have read books introducing his philosophical thoughts, and it seems that he proposed the theory of ideals, which are all the dregs of idealism.
She: (Surprised) Are you so arrogant?
Me: (shy) I am not an arrogant person who belittles the ancients, because I was educated in materialism.
She: (smiles) I don’t want to discuss materialism or idealism with you. I want to ask you if you have read his “Drinking Society”?
Me: I haven’t read it, but I know that in this book he proposed love that transcends physical desires, which is Platonic spiritual love.
She: (thumbs up) (shyly) Read my username again.
I watched "Pertanian Love" again.
I finally understood the meaning of her online name, which is the Chinese pronunciation of Platonic love.
Me: Platonic love?
She: Would you like to play with me?
I:……
She: Are you willing or not?
Me: Although I don’t believe it, I will accompany you.
She: (happy) Husband, we have been in a romantic relationship since day one. Spiritual intercourse is allowed, but physical intercourse is not allowed.
Me: It’s all up to you.
She: (Kiss) Love you, husband!
Me: Yes, wife!
She: Okay, let’s stop here for today. I want to fall asleep with your kiss.
Me: I will be handing over my shift soon, and I will also fall asleep peacefully in your lingering fragrance.
She: Give me your mailing address.
I:?
She: I will mail you a love knot to tie our hearts together forever.
Without thinking too much, I sent her the mailing address of the Internet cafe.
At this time, Lao Ba patted my shoulder.
I was so scared that I hurriedly pulled the penguin off the line.
Lao Ba asked curiously, "Did you watch porn? Why are you so nervous?"
I cursed, "How disgusting! You think about those trivial things all day long. Can't you raise your level to a higher spiritual level?"
He stared at me dumbfounded and threw a sneer behind my back: "You don't even know who is disgusting. I have a woman, my wife."
I was furious, but in a very good mood, so I ignored him and went up to the attic to sleep.
A few days later, I received a package in the mail.
A year later, China's e-commerce began to flourish, and the express delivery industry also entered a stage of explosive growth.
In 2002, parcel delivery still mainly relied on China Post.
The sender information on the package showed a place in Futian District, Shenzhen, and the sender was Xu Feier.
I guess eight out of ten are the love knots she sent me in the mail.
I opened it hastily, and inside was indeed a pink hand-woven love knot, and underneath was a cell phone.
A Motorola V70 phone whose packaging has been unpacked.
Lao Ba was very curious about the package I received, so he came over to take a look.
When I got the brand new phone, he snatched it from me and fiddled with it lovingly, exclaiming, "Did someone send this to the wrong address? It's a V70! The latest one, worth more than 7,000 yuan. Sixth brother, check if the recipient is really you?"
Do I need him to remind me? I have already double-checked it before opening the package, and the knot on it says it all.
I grabbed the phone and pressed the power button.
After turning on the phone, I immediately received a text message, and the sender was clearly marked as "wife".
Lao Ba yelled, "No way, this Zhang Fangfang has hooked up with a rich man so quickly? He can buy you such an expensive phone."
I picked up the package box and threw it directly at his face, then walked out of the Internet cafe without looking back.
I opened the text message while walking on the street: Honey, I think the mobile phone express has arrived. I hope the first message you receive is from me. The SIM card has been installed, and I will pay your mobile phone bill on time. You can contact me at any time. My mobile phone number has been saved in the address book. Kiss you! Your wife.
This was my first mobile phone in my life, and even today, more than 20 years later, I still treasure it.
It was my first time using a mobile phone, and I spent a long time trying to reply to her text message: Got it! Thank you!
But in the five days after the visit, I did not receive the response I was eagerly expecting, and her penguin kept staring at me with a gloomy expression.
On the sixth day, the first thing she said after coming online was: Honey, I feel terrible.
Me: What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?
After a while, she replied: Don't talk about me anymore, there is nothing to say. Do you dare to video chat with me?
I consciously tidied my hair and ran to the mirror to take a closer look at myself. Except for the fact that I hadn't shaved my beard for a few days, everything else looked pretty good.
I clicked directly on the "Start Video Session" button.
She seemed to hesitate, and a few seconds later her image appeared on the computer screen.
Her hair was dyed flax brown, her forehead was wavy with bangs, and she had a standard oval face.
She has big eyes, a straight nose and thin lips.
In that era, there was no equipment that could beautify images using its own algorithms, so her original appearance appeared in the video.
Her looks just fit my aesthetic taste. The moment I saw her, I felt a palpitation in my heart.
