person
Lover is a very special title.
By default, people will think that it points to a special person.
A person who makes your mind long but often can't live together.
As for why there is no way, the answer should be known to everyone.
Therefore, in this sense, the word lover refers to a high probability that it will not be one's own pillow person.
But is this really the case?
The story Cheng Qing tells in "Valentine's Day" may allow us to re-examine the definition of lover.

face
The doorbell was just lit up when it was heard.
Old Qin thought that Li Ying had returned early, and in a hurry, he only found one shoe and went barefoot to open the door.
He was stunned when the door opened.
Standing at the door was not Li Ying, but his ex-wife Ding Shuying.
"How did you get here?"
"Holidays, come and see you."
Holidays?
Old Qin's brain spun up quickly, not long after the Spring Festival, if I remember correctly, today is the fifteenth day of the first month.
So, did the ex-wife come over to spend the Lantern Festival with him?
Come on, fortunately Li Ying is not at home, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing for the three of them to bump into each other?
What Old Qin didn't know was that his ex-wife Ding Shuying had already learned reliable information and knew that he was at home alone today.
Since they were running to celebrate the festival together, Ding Shuying did not plan to go back at noon.
Not only did she stay, but she also cooked up the noon food.
It was Lao Qin's favorite fried sauce noodles.
Counting up, Ding Shuying has been away from this kitchen for fifteen years, three months and one day.
But the things in the kitchen were still so familiar to her that there was nothing she couldn't find.
Soon, the noodles were ready.
Across the distance, Old Qin could smell the aroma of noodles.
Old Qin had to admit that making fried sauce noodles, his ex-wife really had a set.
That can even be considered the most elite part of Ding Shuying's excellent cooking skills, and is fully qualified to be among her reserved dishes.
Deserved.
In fact, when his ex-wife said that he would eat fried sauce noodles at noon, his spirit had already been lifted.
I really haven't eaten her fried sauce noodles sometimes.
When the two sat facing each other and feasted, Old Qin couldn't help but praise:
"Yummy!"

sincere
For some reason, for the sudden visit of his ex-wife Ding Shuying, Lao Qin was somewhat wary in his heart.
It's better to be open and honest.
"You didn't come looking for Stubble, did you?"
"Rest assured, I'm not here to go through old accounts with you. I already knew that my life was miserable, the elderly could not find an object, it was easy to find one, or a negative man! ”
Old Qin frowned, and said that he didn't come to look for stubble, and lo and behold, isn't this coming?
It's better to change the topic of pleasure.
"Do you still go around the park every day?"
Ding Shuying did not take Old Qin's words, but said to herself:
"You said that today is the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, do you know what festival it is today?"
Without waiting for Old Qin to answer, she had a smile on her face first:
"It's Valentine's Day."
Old Qin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You wouldn't have come to me early in the morning for Valentine's Day, would you?" ”
Ding Shuying said, "I really looked for you for Valentine's Day." ”
Old Qin was very stunned, when was his ex-wife so romantic?
"After living for seventy-eight years, I am still celebrating Valentine's Day for the first time, so why should you only allow me to be romantic?"
Old Qin was suddenly blocked tightly, and he knew that Ding Shuying had some hatred in the end.
It is no wonder that no matter which couple in the world encounters betrayal, it is estimated that the situation is like this.
In comparison, Ding Shuying is not noisy or noisy, but just says a few truths that seem to scare but actually reveal the truth, which is quite rare.
"Didn't you ask me what I'd come to do?" I've come to accompany you for the holidays, and there's one more, and I want to discuss something with you. ”
"What?"
"I just want to ask you, I'll be buried with you when I die, okay?"
When he said this, although Ding Shuying's tone was very soft, Old Qin was still shocked.
He couldn't believe his ears.
What was Ding Shuying thinking, they were obviously divorced, and he had obviously remarried!

combine
For the joint burial, Ding Shuying is really not a whim.
In the face of Old Qin's surprise and inability to accept it, she calmly laid out three reasons for Old Qin.
One is that she can save a lot of money to buy a cemetery.
The second is that after a hundred years of the two people, it is convenient for the children to visit the grave and do not have to run two places.
The third is that all her savings are spent on her son's doctoral studies, and the house is also given to her son, and now she is empty-handed.
Three reasons, each one is very realistic, each one is very reasonable, but Old Qin still can't accept it.
When Li Ying returned at night, Ding Shuying had already left, and she did not want to meet Li Ying.
What Lao Qin did not expect was that after learning of Ding Shuying's visit and the requirements he made, Li Ying actually said to him:
"Actually, you can promise her to bury you."
This time, Old Qin was even more stunned than hearing Ding Shuying say that he wanted to be buried with him.
"I will not be buried with you, if I want to be buried together, I will have to bury with my old man, he died of illness, and I have not divorced him."
After listening to Li Ying's explanation, Old Qin seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water.
If you count that you and Li Ying have been married for ten years, if you count the time when the two were good before, it will be even longer.
Intermittently, for more than twenty years.
Old Qin thought that Li Ying was the woman who had been better than himself the longest, and also the woman with the deepest feelings for him, but he did not expect that things were really not what he thought.
Old Qin suddenly felt that he had somewhat experienced the loneliness of his ex-wife Ding Shuying.
In "Valentine's Day", the male protagonist Lao Qin divorced Ding Shuying because of his lover Li Ying's insistence, and even went out of the house for this reason.
Perhaps Old Qin felt that his heart was indebted, so he was willing to be particularly generous when divorcing, and everything he could give, he gave to his ex-wife.
Old Qin may also feel that he has done his best to be kind and righteous, has nothing to do with Ding Shuying, and no longer owes her anything.
But when things moved forward little by little, he gradually realized that something was wrong, and he had to force himself to stand in front of the truth.
At that moment, Old Qin was definitely quite confused and quite depressed.
His ex-wife came to spend Valentine's Day with him and told him that she wanted to be buried with him in the future.
On the same day, the current wife gave him the exact opposite decision.
The man he had been desperate to go to, the man he had considered a loved one, the man he had thought could be the lover of his life, had he seen the wrong thing, or had he refused to admit it?
