△ 137｜Lovers
It sounds a bit illusory, but it’s so magical. I sat in front of the computer for a long time thinking about what I should write, and for some reason I typed the word “lover” in the title bar. Then, by accident, I searched the archive of the last 500 days of persistent writing, the 147th day – I also used the topic “lover”.
Today, let’s talk about a gossip from “hearsay”.
Many years ago, at a convenience store near my home, I heard a conversation between two shop assistants. A clerk asked another clerk mysteriously: Do you know who runs this store. As a result, this question was also asked to me, so I deliberately wandered in the store, waiting for him to give the answer. The convenience store was originally opened by a rich woman who paid for her lover, but then the rich woman did not leave with her lover. In the end, the shop became an industry managed by the proprietress herself. So sometimes I see a middle-aged woman appearing in the store from time to time to inspect the goods and educate the staff.
I’m not surprised to hear this answer, because this kind of plot, whether true or not, is just someone else’s life, for me it’s just a material that can be written into the story.
It’s a pity that my family is full of honest and responsible people, and I haven’t heard from them the story of whoever cheats and who has a lover, let alone a farce of beating, smashing and hanging. I’ve been involved in the “lover” controversy. This story is as real as a novel. I also planned to recreate the art and write it into future novels.
When I was in college, I met a lawyer who was more than ten years older than me. It was a coincidence that I discussed criminal law theories with people online. After I met him and added contact information to each other, we had a kind of late acquaintance. a feeling of. Unexpectedly, there is a person in this world who understands each other like a mirror image.
But as I got to know more deeply, I gradually realized that the other party is actually a person with a little “problem”. At that time, he was in conflict with his wife, and he was about to get divorced. So we talked about this topic and used me as a third party to judge their relationship. He suspected that his wife had a lover, but there was no definite evidence, so he showed me many methods he used to lead the snake out of the hole, in order to let his wife show her legs and divide the property less during the divorce.
I don’t really want to get involved in their marriage, but I warned him that his so-called “snares” actually have a fatal problem, that is, he assumes that his wife has cheated and maintains a lover relationship. The premise is, so all his traps are not considered from the perspective of “presumption of innocence”.
Confident he did not take my advice. (As for what method, I can’t publish it here, because this is what will be written into “If You Are Free After I Die”) He used his trap to lead his wife into a predicament step by step , wanted her wife to have to make that “seek a lover’s help” decision.
As a result, he suddenly disappeared for a long time, and because I had to prepare for the exam, I didn’t bother to care about how far his plot progressed. One day, a year later, he suddenly reappeared and he asked me if I knew his wife. Then he didn’t give me any time to explain, and presented a lot of his so-called “evidence” in front of me, many of which he thought were logical closed loops. These evidences point to me, his wife can actually arrange The person who came has been trying to get in touch with him since 3 years ago. Otherwise, why would I be like his “mirror” and get to know him so quickly, because only his wife knows his true appearance.
Then he said that his wife obviously found that he was setting a trap step by step for her to jump in, but the other party did not break it as he thought, that is to say, someone told her all the plans, and these so-called He only told me about his plan, so I must have leaked the news in the middle. So the conclusion is that I’m actually his wife’s “lover”, and I’ve been lurking between them in the most dangerous way ever, trying to destroy him completely.
In front of these evidences, the chain of evidence with strong arguments made me feel a little confused – to be honest, I really felt for a moment whether I was being set up for a trap. After that, he never appeared again. Although I gave him a message to explain, and after he calmed down, I helped him analyze it again, but then he disappeared from the world. As for what happened to him later, I don’t know, but I can be sure that he probably had severe bipolar disorder, and during the years with his wife, he began to have very serious hysteria and persecution delusions.
Five years ago, I sent another message to that mailbox. The content of the message was: How are you? If you are his wife or ex-wife, if you see this email, you can also let me know what’s going on.
It’s not curiosity, but there is an inexplicable “good start and good end” that drives me. At that time, I was about to successfully drag him out of his psychological predicament for a while. Maybe not, or maybe it was the last straw that broke him. , he thought for a moment that he had found someone he could rely on and trust, and then set this to denial overnight, making him the ultimate imaginary enemy.
Of course, on the other hand, it doesn’t really matter to him who I am. I’m just an unknown before the equation. When I exist alone, the unknown itself can’t give any answer, but when the equation’s There are conditions and answers on both sides, and the unknown will always be solved one day, but as for what the answer is, it can only be related to the answer he wants to deduce.
