Preface: ['The Hidden Corner']
'Parasite'
Have you heard of parasites?
This is a very disgusting insect. The only meaning of their existence is "reproduction". They have no thoughts, and all their actions are for the inheritance of genes. To this end, they will use any means necessary.
By parasitizing, it devours one host after another in order to give birth to its next generation.
This is a parasite.
Can.
Have you heard of Parasite Man?
In 1991, in an unknown town in the northern city, a parasitic man was walking on both sides of the street in a daze, with a dull look in his eyes.
This is a woman, her name is Lin Jie.
Lin Jie is fourteen years old this year and has just finished his high school entrance exam. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have performed well and been admitted to a key high school in the city.
That was in 91. If one got admitted into a key high school, it was not surprising to have a three-day banquet at home!
but.
Lin Jie has no parents.
She is an orphan. She can't even afford the most basic tuition, let alone the banquet.
Yes, she has no money, so...
Lin Jie is going to drop out of school.
A person's life cannot end at the same crossroads twice.
Lin Jie, who has no parents, matures precociously. She understands this truth very clearly. Once she makes a choice, she will live the rest of her life based on this choice.
But even if you know it, it's useless.
The reality is that she still has no money to go to school.
The nine-year compulsory education has been completed, and now she needs to pay the expenses that a student from the working class should pay.
This is very contradictory. If you want to go to school, you need to work to earn money, but if you work, you will lose your student status.
Lin Jie didn't want to work and go to school at the same time, in her eyes it was meaningless.
then
Her eyes gradually turned to another person.
The man's name was Li Zhuo. Like her, he was an orphan who grew up alone.
But it's also different from her.
Li Zhuo had parents before. The other party’s parents were once middle-level managers in a company. Later, an accident occurred that led to their death, and the court ruled it as a work-related injury.
So, Li Zhuo had a lot of money in his hands, which was all compensation.
Lin Jie fixed his eyes on him.
When did you start targeting?
It was probably two years earlier, when I was in the first grade of junior high school.
Until now, this persistence has finally reaped the rewards.
The parasite began to cannibalize the host for the first time.
“I want to go to high school”
One night.
Li Zhuo and Lin Jie were walking on the road, their shadows elongated by the street lights, bouncing back and forth.
After hearing what Lin Jie said, Li Zhuo thought for a moment and said with a laugh:
"I make money for you!"
People are impulsive.
At a young age, Lin Jie got the answer she had carefully designed and expected.
Li Zhuo agreed and promised to pay for his schooling.
Unlike Lin Jie, he was not precocious and still possessed the recklessness that was unique to junior high school students, and the recklessness that came from not knowing the consequences.
this moment.
Lin Jie almost laughed out loud.
She felt that the man in front of her was stupid and ugly, like a puppet, and she was the puppeteer, controlling everything.
Psychological superiority and stimulation stimulate the body to secrete dopamine.
The large amount of dopamine was like massage oil, making her feel refreshed.
but no matter.
Li Zhuo would not know this.
and so.
He dropped out of school.
The money Lin Jie needed was a bottomless pit, and she asked Li Zhuo for more than just tuition.
He also has to pay for living expenses!
Three years of high school and four years of college, a total of seven years, and the expenses are not low.
This cannot be offset by partial compensation!
Lin Jie just did this, sucking blood from Li Zhuo, like a mosquito hanging on him, with a swollen abdomen, but the other party was reluctant to slap the mosquito away.
After dropping out of junior high school, Li Zhuo went to work in a factory.
At that time, it was also stipulated that minors were not allowed.
But, how many factories care about this?
The construction site is full of people in their teens!
So, Li Zhuo went to the chemical factory, the old factory where his parents used to work.
The factory hired a master to train him. The master was a very nice person and treated people very well.
Seeing that Li Zhuo always kept most of the meager salary he received, as if leaving it for others, the master asked in confusion.
"Little Li?"
"What's wrong?" Li Zhuo asked puzzledly.
"Do you have younger brothers and sisters?" asked the master.
"No."
"Then why do you keep so much money?"
Under the master's puzzled and teasing gaze, Li Zhuo's face turned slightly red, and he stumbled and reluctantly told him the reason.
“I have to support my wife’s education.”
"daughter in law!?"
The master was surprised, then laughed, and didn't think it was weird, so he tapped his head.
"Good job."
"But you should save some money for yourself. You should eat something good."
Li Zhuo nodded shyly.
Life is always like this, the pearl is covered with dust, the pig eats ginseng, and the ugly duckling falls in love with the white swan.
Li Zhuo feels like an ugly duckling.
Lin Jie feels like a white swan.
The gap in educational background is an unbridgeable abyss between the two.
Lin Jie knew clearly how big a gap the other party's identity would bring in the future.
So, she thinks she is a white swan.
Li Zhuo is not worthy of me.
So, after entering college, every time Li Zhuo transferred money to her card slowly or too little, she would get furious.
What does this mean?
She wants more!
I am a college student, a bachelor's degree graduate, so what is the other party?
The other party is just a junior high school dropout working in a factory!
It is his honor to be with me, and he should treat me like this!
Li Zhuo wanted to complain.
But at the age of fourteen, the boy's reckless and arrogant words turned into bullets and hit the twenty-year-old between the eyebrows.
The gap in academic qualifications becomes concrete at this moment.
Of course, this has a similar explanation in economics.
When the cost of investing in an item is too high, people will often invest again in order to stabilize the benefits of this item.
Otherwise, you will face a scenario where all costs disappear.
This is called sunk cost.
Li Zhuo's costs were too high and he had almost nothing of his own.
Once some fuse is ignited, the explosion of this emotion is inevitable.
When the time comes, the consequences will be unacceptable
So he has low self-esteem.
He was terrified. He retreated, again and again!
Lin Jie saw what Li Zhuo was thinking.
After several rounds of attempts, he became more and more unscrupulous.
One day, in the art major, a classmate looked at Lin Jie.
"How are you and your boyfriend doing?"
Lin Jie said: "He is like a piece of wood, stupid, dumb, and his family is poor. I don't know what I liked about him in the first place."
"It's not like he doesn't have any merits at all, right? I remember he transferred money to you, didn't he?"
Someone spoke suspiciously.
"He volunteered!"
Lin Jie retorted with a frown, his eyes full of annoyance.
"I didn't force him!"
After saying this, Lin Jie continued to practice dancing.
Although her school was not very good and her grades were not good, her enthusiasm for dancing since she entered university was unmatched by others.
Even in his spare time, Lin Jie would practice more on his own.
At the same time, she also did not forget to take care of her skin.
With a little bit of cosmetics, Lin Jie stood out like a white swan, extremely noble in the eyes of others.
Such a noble person.
After graduation.
She couldn't wait to run to the Magic City.
Where have you gone?
I went to a KTV, worked as a waitress, and became a princess.
Yes, she used Li Zhuo's money to pamper herself into a princess, and she really chose to become a princess.
why?
Why would she, an undergraduate graduate born in 00, take the initiative to become a princess?
Because of the money!
This KTV is very special, and there are often many rich people coming here!
Li Zhuo also came along. It was time for this relationship that had lasted for more than ten years to come to an end.
Lin Jie thought so.
However, she felt that she shouldn't have proposed the breakup. At least she had to pretend and squeeze a few tears to make herself feel that the breakup was not her fault.
What are some useful ways to get a boy to let go?
no doubt.
Destroy the other person's self-esteem!
Crush his face!
Despise his inferiority complex!
Therefore, Li Zhuo would occasionally see luxury cars parked in front of the rental house.
That’s a big bull, it’s got scissor doors, it’s a supercar!
As soon as the door opened, Lin Jie twisted his butt and sat in.
There were no other fancy moves. It was just in front of Li Zhuo. His inferiority complex, which was unique to the poor, was completely trampled underfoot, and he even spat a few times.
Li Zhuo has expressed his opinions, but is he worthy of Lin Jie's adoption?
He couldn't even afford the tires for the other car!
Can you imagine how much the tip the other party gave?
A month's salary? A few hundred yuan? A few thousand yuan?
It’s hundreds of thousands or even millions!
Who is Li Zhuo?
A person with only a junior high school diploma, working in a factory, living in a rented house, and having difficulty even solving the most basic lighting problem.
Even if he works for his whole life, his salary is still not as much as the tips people give him!
How does he compare?
He can't compare, he has inferiority complex, he himself is inferior!
Li Zhuo felt like he was a clown and an idiot!
Lin Jie had a good idea and her plan went smoothly.
Li Zhuo's mind was broken and he took the initiative to break up.
Before breaking up, Li Zhuo looked at the other party and suddenly asked.
"Have you ever liked me?"
Lin Jie didn't lie this time.
She was like a victorious rooster, holding her head high, feeling complacent. She showed the virtue of giving the other person a beating when he is down, and threw the other person's last fig leaf to the ground and stepped on it twice.
"No."
"At the beginning?"
"nor."
Li Zhuo remained silent and didn't ask why they were still together if they didn't like each other.
He sat on the sofa and watched Lin Jie excitedly packing his luggage.
He held a cigarette between his fingers and smoked silently, with no expression on his face and his eyes frighteningly calm.
later.
do not know when.
Cigarette in hand
Replaced with a knife.
Looking at Lin Jie's back, Li Zhuo slowly stood up.
Xu Meng still remembers that was when she was a child.
When the child was born, the congenital malformation of the body was not actually very serious.
The doctor at the hospital suggested that her parents take her to the hospital for treatment.
The parents are gone.
They looked at the medical expenses of the various tests Xu Meng had to undergo, as well as Xu Meng's physical condition.
They said, "Well, it's not that bad."
So, Xu Meng was taken home before he even finished turning around.
Later, as time went by.
Xu Meng's body deformity became more and more serious, and her back seemed to be folded.
At this time, her parents took her to the hospital.
Of course, Xu Meng knew that this was not about worrying about her own safety and future life.
But I can't hide it any longer.
On weekdays, the loose shirt could no longer cover up the deformed back, and the neighbors in the village began to gossip about him behind his back.
So, her face-saving parents took her to the hospital.
But going to the hospital was useless. After looking at the medical expenses, the parents decided to give birth to a younger brother.
Afterwards, the other party took his younger brother into the city, leaving only Xu Meng and the old man living at home.
At that time.
Xu Meng was fifteen years old, and his only grandfather died soon after.
Before his grandfather died, he took out the money he had secretly saved without being discovered by his parents and allowed Xu Meng to continue going to school.
To be honest, Xu Meng didn't want to go to school.
why?
Because she is an outlier!
Bullying? Cold violence? Verbal violence?
To be honest, these are just commonplace.
But if she doesn't go to school, she really has no future.
Compared with others, Xu Meng knew clearly that once she stopped going to school, her status in society would be worse than that of a trash!
So, she went, and not only did she get into the school, she also ranked at the top and received many scholarships!
Gradually, Xu Meng also discovered his talent.
Her congenital deformity made her ugly, but it also made it easier for her to discover beauty!
The clothes, jewelry and bags designed by Xu Meng seem as if the designer was born to wear them to show off her beauty!
These things are so beautiful, but alas.
But I can't wear it.
After graduation, Xu Meng began to run into obstacles.
She increasingly felt that this society was sick, and became more aware of the impact of appearance on people.
She applied for a job, but was rejected after just one look at her body!
When she eats and just sits in the store, the flow of people will be reduced by half.
She was silent, with her head down and her twisted back bent, walking in the hidden corners of the crowd like a mouse.
But a pity.
No one cares.
Xu Meng has a lot of skin care products at home. She wants to be beautiful. She wants to be pretty!
She wore the unique and beautiful clothes she designed, but she looked like a monster.
Once. Twice. Three times
The money she had saved for college was gone.
Her shop went bankrupt, and she could only curl up in a place like a slum, hiding in a corner where no one knew.
With her hands that had won countless small prizes, she worked in the corner mending clothes for others.
Until one day she met a woman.
The woman was very beautiful, with fair skin and delicate features.
Because of lack of money, she found Xu Meng, and from then on, Xu Meng began to design clothes for her.
Xu Meng's craftsmanship was demonstrated once again.
Her clothes looked really good on her, and the woman suddenly became the bar's top hostess!
And every time the other party accompanies you drinking.
Xu Meng would hide in the corner, staring at the other person with her infatuated eyes.
She thought, how great would it be if this happened to me?
She wondered, what would happen if she was like this?
But fortunately, at least part of this beauty is due to my own efforts.
Xu Meng thought so, and wanted to hypnotize herself into having a sense of beauty.
until
"Hehe, Sister Liu, that monster is here again. She's here to see you again."
"She's so perverted and so ugly"
"Sister Liu, who is she? Do you know her?"
Liu Yiyi sat on the sofa, surrounded by a noisy crowd. Through the narrow gap, Xu Meng's figure appeared in front of her.
Someone asked who Xu Meng was.
Xu Meng has very good hearing and she can hear very clearly.
Even those insulting words!
but.
She doesn't care about this, she's used to it, but
She was more concerned about the second half of the sentence.
"Who is she?" the man asked again.
Xu Meng's breathing gradually became heavier, her eyes widened, waiting for the other party to talk about her and her clothes.
At this moment, even her body couldn't help but straighten up a little.
until
"she?"
"A tailor who sews buttons."
"Drink, drink, don't talk about her, drink~"
Watching the group of people drinking.
Xu Meng's smile suddenly froze, and then slowly faded away. Her eyes became very calm.
To be honest, Xu Meng didn't expect that another person would attack Liu Yiyi.
But it doesn't matter, it's all the same anyway.
I still remember that when the two met, Li Zhuo saw Xu Meng witnessed the scene and wanted to silence her, but Xu Meng suddenly said:
"Can I skin her?"
Li Zhuo was stunned, and only nodded hesitantly after the other party repeated it.
Liu Yiyi's skin was peeled off, and Xu Meng was very excited.
This kind of skin without any distortion, this kind of touch, is exactly what she has always dreamed of!
Until she wore these things and walked around the street
She only realized it when people around her were still terrified of her.
This is how my life will be.
but.
You can touch them, peel them off with your own hands, and use these beautiful things as sewing materials!
This is also a good thing.
once.
Xu Meng, who was being skinned in front of Lin Jie, suddenly looked up and asked curiously at Li Zhuo:
"Do you know what love is?"
Li Zhuo paused and said with a smile:
"love?"
"Love is shit."
