Extras A story within a story
When the last character was knocked down, I let out a long sigh of relief and turned the computer screen to the woman in front of me.
The other party didn't say anything, just nodded and looked carefully.
Looking at her appearance, I was extremely nervous.
About a year ago, this woman came to me out of the blue and said that she wanted me to write a story for her, and she provided all the plots, and all the money she earned from it and other remuneration went to me.
At first, I thought it was some new type of scam, so I refused because I was busy with my studies, but the other party was very persistent, and waited for me near my house for several days in a row, and it was the same set of rhetoric every day.
I reluctantly reluctantly to her, but after seeing her for a month, I finally decided to listen to what she wanted to do, even if the other party was a liar, it was rare to be able to hold on for a month.
When she heard me say this, a smile appeared on her face, and I realized that her smile was so good-looking, and it was completely different from the usual serious and a little gloomy look, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Chong smile, even if I was deceived, I thought it was worth it.
Then we met at the café, and she told the story, and at first I would write and draw in my notebook to record some of the highlights, but gradually I became so fascinated that I didn't notice how many hours had passed.
When she stopped, I was still a little unfinished, and that wasn't the end of the story, so I begged her to continue, but she just told me that if I could write what she had just told within a month, she would tell me the rest of the story.
In order to continue listening, I immediately began to "create", and within a week, I handed her the manuscript.
The other party seemed to be satisfied, and she asked me to find a website to share the story with more people.
I did.
After that, we would see each other every day, and she would only tell a little bit of the story, and I would put what she said into words on the spot, and after she reviewed it, I would publish it regularly.
In this way, we have been working together for almost a whole year, from the first café to the appointment at my house, and my trust in her has grown day by day.
But during the year, we didn't talk about anything but stories every day, and to this day, I still don't know anything about her, including her name or age.
I just think that she is a very old-fashioned woman in speech and behavior, but her face is unusually young, and she rarely expresses her feelings, but as long as she smiles, she has an inexplicable charm of the city.
Of course, what impressed me the most was her starry eyes.
"Well, that's fine, let's publish this chapter as well. ”
She quickly finished reading the manuscript I had just handed her, and after getting her permission, as usual, the publish button was clicked.
"Well, thank you very much for sharing the story with me today, then we'll see you tomorrow. ”
I got up with a smile and was about to send her out the door, but she waved her hand and told me with a smile:
"I won't come again tomorrow, and that's the end of the story. ”
I was a little surprised, although I knew that the story would end one day, but I never thought it would be today, and I suddenly felt empty in my heart.
"But...... If it ends here, it's too sad......"
I bit my lip and tried to hold on.
She bowed her head slightly and was silent, and it took a long time to raise her head, looking a little sad,
"But this is a tragedy, the hero and heroine failed to get together in the end, and even after the death of the heroine, the male protagonist spent five years of loneliness and despair......"
She paused, even though her expression did not change, but the sadness in her eyes made me worry about it.
I tried to comfort her, but I wasn't good at words, so I didn't know where to start.
However, the silence did not last long, and she continued to explain in a relaxed tone,
"I want more people to see this story, and the original intention is not to let people who can read it yearn for such a life, I just want to tell more people, how can there be so many happy feelings and hatreds in the rivers and lakes, or try your best to be a good person......"
I still felt a little depressed in my heart, and at the same time a little incomprehensible, I didn't finish this story well, and I couldn't even write one percent of its soul, and after a little entanglement, I asked her:
"But...... Why did you choose me, I have never written about it before, you can obviously choose better people to make this story more perfect. ”
"No, you were chosen because of your experience and ...... The main character is very similar, and if you do it, the resonance will be deeper. ”
"You investigated me?"
I was a little angry in my heart, and she was right, although my life was not as bizarre as in the story, and I never did those illegal things, but many details and trends were strikingly similar, which I already felt when I started writing.
But at the time, I just thought it was all a coincidence, after all, there were many things buried deep in my heart, and even my closest friends around me knew nothing about them.
"People of the same kind will attract each other, and it is inevitable that I will find you, as for the matter of investigating you...... I admit it, and I apologize to you. ”
After saying that, she stood up and bowed deeply to me, and her sincere attitude made my anger instantly extinguished, and I didn't want to continue to pursue this matter.
"Forget it, that's all in the past, don't mention it anymore...... But at least tell me your name, and I'll put your name on the book, so I can get the book back to you. ”
"No need, what we said before, you just need to write it out, and all the benefits generated will belong to you, but don't have your surname Mo, if you want to call me, just call your surname." ”
"The surname Mo? This surname is not common, so I wonder if you have anything to do with the 'Morin' in the story. ”
I laughed dryly twice to ease the atmosphere, and my tone was also half-joking, and I didn't take it seriously, and she smiled and didn't answer.
"It's getting late, and to thank you for telling me this story, let me send you home. ”
I looked at the time, it was already late at night, and it was a bit dangerous for Miss Mo to go out at this time at a woman's house.
"No, my home is far from the city, and it takes seven or eight hours to drive. ”
She smiled and rejected me, stood up and began to organize her own things.
"Seven or eight hours? Wouldn't it all be to the beach? "I was still a little apprehensive and surprised at how long she had to spend on the road every day.
"It's true that I live by the sea, the house was chosen by me and my husband, it's quiet and no one bothering you, so you don't have to worry too much about me, he will come and pick me up today. ”
She seemed to see my concern and comforted me.
"Husband?!I thought ......"
I exclaimed involuntarily, but immediately realized my abruptness and immediately shut up.
I thought that at her young age, I should still be single, but when I think about it, I don't know her age at all, everything is my preconceived notions.
"Yes, my husband and I have been married for a long time. She smiled as she spoke, her cheeks were slightly rosy, and she looked completely happy, and I don't know why, but I was happy for her from the bottom of my heart.
I was thinking about it, suddenly there were a few knocks on the door, listening intermittently, it seemed that the other party was a little hesitant, I opened the door, and there was a tall and strong man standing outside, his expression looked fierce, which really startled me, but seeing that he was still holding a half-old child in his arms, I inexplicably felt a kind of contrast of peace of mind.
"Asked you to wait downstairs, why did you come up all of a sudden. ”
Miss Mo frowned, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, obviously the action just now was still not in a hurry, but when she saw the man, she immediately leaned over and took the child, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"I'll introduce you, this is my husband. ”
She hurriedly introduced me, the man let down his guard and smiled slightly, I shook his hand, that palm was really stronger than ordinary people.
"You've been bothered for the past year. He thanked me politely and thoughtfully, and then explained with some "grievances" in Miss Mo's ear, "Xiaodui, she can't wait for me to pester me for a long time before I agreed to bring her up." ”
I looked at the child, with his father's heroic spirit in his nose and mouth, and the brilliance in his eyebrows and eyes was the same as his mother's.
It seemed to notice my gaze, the child smiled at me, looking innocent, Miss Mo handed her into my arms, the little one, she was not afraid of people, the soft and warm little hand touched my face, it was really cute and heartbreaking.
I gave the child back to them, and the couple said goodbye to me and left, I thought that I would probably never have anything to do with them again in this life, and I was still a little reluctant to them.
I stood by the window, thinking about seeing them one last time, but I never saw their car leave and waited for dozens of minutes and still didn't see anyone, maybe their car was parked outside the community, and I missed it when a few people walked out.
I returned to the table, wrote this chapter, and posted it as an extra, which can be regarded as my gratitude to Miss Mo.
If so, I'd really like to see them again.
