In the name of love

…Choose a ring for Ah Chang, and force Ah Chang to put it on, but Ah Chang refused, so he grabbed him by the collar, and when he wanted to hit him, he couldn’t do it. tearing up.I . . . have never seen a man cry like that,"

Yulu suddenly felt that something had penetrated into his heart, causing his heart to twitch, and he hurriedly suppressed it.

"Ah Chang told him to leave quickly, said he was a devil, told him not to tempt him again, and said that he hoped that he could reform like him, and this was also for his own good."

"Later, the people from the church called the security guard, and he was dragged out by the security guard. Before he left, he kept looking at Ah Chang. I was next to him at that time. He didn't say anything, and he didn't struggle or shout. But I will never forget that... desperate look in my life."

Mrs. Ye closed her eyes.

"Not long after that, Ah Chang proposed to me. He bought a pair of wedding rings with his first month's salary as a guard and put them on my ring finger. I couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so I agreed. At that time, my father and My younger sister was very happy, and even brought Ah Chang to my mother's grave, telling her that her beloved daughter had finally found her true happiness."

She took a deep breath, and Yulu found that Ji Lan also followed her.

"I admire Ah Chang... If I were me, I would definitely not be able to be as decisive as him. This is not prejudice, but there is no marriage in our circle, so the relationship is always very short, and it is difficult to find a long-term partner. If I meet someone like this who is so wholehearted and loves so purely, even if I end up going to hell, I won’t let go.”

"What happened to that person, then?" Yulu suddenly asked, his voice a little dry.

Mrs. Ye was silent for a while, she didn't answer Yulu's words, but just squeezed the skirt cloth tightly in her hand,

"Achang is very firm... and very serious. He thinks that he is sick and can overcome everything as long as he works hard. After he and I got married, he often went back to the church to counsel some teenagers, teach them God's teachings, tell them They could 'go astray' and he really changed a lot of people. The parents of those teenagers are very grateful to him."

Yulu found that Ji Lan had been very quiet, with no expression on his face, just grasping his knee with his slender fingers.

"I've been... always thinking about..."

As if there was something hard to say, Mrs. Ye lowered her head again.

"I've been thinking, seeing Ah Chang like this, I've always been worried. Is he just trying to be brave, because I can see that even though he always shows a strong appearance, deep down in his heart is always Very shaken, he felt sorry for that man, if his belief collapsed, he would be overwhelmed by guilt. That's why he kept convincing himself that the original him was wrong and filthy..."

Mrs. Ye clenched her lower lip, and Yulu noticed that her eyes were red.

"I am very clear about what I want, so I embarked on this path today. I wanted to make my father feel at ease and share the responsibilities of the family, so I made a choice, that's all, I never denied myself. But Ah Chang did not Similarly, I am always afraid that if he continues to suppress like this, one day he will really suffer from depression. What will happen to him then?"

The more she talked, the more excited she became, and when she looked up, she realized that Yulu and Ji Lan were both looking at him, and then she lowered her head again, her face pale.

"I'm sorry... I just remembered some past events. I'm sorry, I shouldn't waste your time, oh, I... What am I doing? Telling Mr. Lawyer these messy things..."

"No, these are very useful information."

Yulu plugged in.The woman glanced at him unexpectedly, and she seemed to have calmed down a little.

"Honestly, when I heard...they said that Ah Chang went to rape the little boy, my first thought was 'has it finally happened?'"

She pulled the corners of her lips with a smirk, and looked up at the two men.

"I know you must think that my wife is too much and doesn't even believe her husband. But I see Ah Chang like this every day. He has plastered signs in the guardhouse where he works, 'God taught us not to fornicate.', 'Sodom was punished for sodomy and lust', as well as at home. As if I was afraid that I would forget that for a second..."

Yulu recalled Ye Chang's appearance in the detention center, and was silent for a moment.Ji Lan spoke,

"Mrs. Ye, may I take the liberty to ask?"

The woman took two deep breaths, her cheeks were flushed, "Well, please tell me."

"In the past few years... In the past eight years of your marriage with Mr. Ye, have you been in a good relationship?"

Mrs. Ye seemed a little surprised by Ji Lan's question, and she nodded slowly after a while.

"I... like Ah Chang very much. If I want to be honest, he is like a reliable big brother. Since we got married, he has always been very good to me. We are like best friends. We can meet in life He, I feel very lucky."

Yulu saw Ji Lan tremble all over, as if something in Mrs. Ye's words touched him.But he quickly recovered and continued to speak.

"Then...let me ask you one more thing. In the past eight years, have you...have sex often?"

in the name of love five

"Then...let me ask you one more thing. In the past eight years, have you...have sex often?"

As expected of a lawyer who specializes in rape cases, what Yulu admires most about Ji Lan is that even though she usually looks so shy, she is not soft at all when asking related questions.

Mrs. Ye also seemed surprised by Ji Lan's unabashed question, but then calmed down.

"Yes, we do often." She smiled self-deprecatingly,

"I'm ashamed to say that the most common thing Ah Chang and I have done together in the past eight years is probably having sex. We... have gone through so much and denied so much before we finally come to this point. A man and a Women, not two men or two women, without making love, nothing changes, does it?"

She took a deep breath and smiled helplessly. "Especially Ah Chang, before Ye Ji was born, he was with me almost every day, every night... as if to prove something, I always felt that it was like a ritual, a ritual to make myself feel at ease. I would feel very sad at times, but it's our choice..."

"Mrs. Ye, I want to confirm."

Yulu interrupted suddenly, and both Ji Lan and the woman looked at him.

"You mean, according to your judgment, your husband, Ye Chang, still has sexual desire for men up to now?" he asked.

Mrs. Ye opened her eyes wide, and then slowly looked away.

"I... have been with Ah Chang for eight years, and I have been watching him all the time."

She said, "Sometimes...he walks on the street, and he often stares at a certain man for a long, long time, until I call him, he looks away in a panic. He likes a male singer named Michael Bray very much, I often listen to his songs secretly in the room. Once, I even saw him... while listening to that singer's song, while...comforting himself."

Mrs. Ye suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Yulu who was on the opposite sofa.

"Mr. Lawyer, to tell you the truth, I... have always been mentally prepared. One day Ah Chang will hold my hand, look at my face, and say to me: Sorry, I still like men. Let's break up. I Been...been waiting."

Saying this seemed to have exhausted her energy, the woman suddenly buried her face in the arm of the sofa chair, and started to cry on the sofa.Not the vocal kind of howling, but a silent, drizzle-like sob.

The little girl who had been guarding the door of the room suddenly ran over, squatted beside her mother, and held her hand.

Yulu waited until Mrs. Ye calmed down before getting up to say goodbye.Mrs. Ye’s emotions come and go quickly, Yulu thought to herself that she is indeed a woman, a woman is a creature that knows how to vent her emotions, they cry easily, go crazy, they are hysterical, and emotional, so they are stronger than any other creature .

"Mrs. Ye, please don't mention what I talked to you just now."

Yulu exhorts like authentic.Mrs. Ye seemed a little confused, but she nodded.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Lawyer..."

When the two were about to leave, Mrs. Ye suddenly stopped them again. She chased all the way out of the entrance, looked back at her daughter who was still hiding behind the sofa, and then turned her head to look at Ji Lan.

"Mr. Lawyer, actually I... have been in touch with that person."

"that person?"

Ji Lan was taken aback, while Yulu listened quietly.

"It's... Ah Chang's ex-boyfriend, that man, we have been communicating."

Yulu showed surprise, and Ji Lan was obviously also a little surprised. Mrs. Ye fumbled in her pocket for a while and took out an envelope.

"His name is Huai Yu. He was the one who wrote to me first, after Ah Chang and I decided to get engaged."

Mrs. Ye spoke slowly, as if forcing herself to explain the name clearly.

"He wrote me a long letter, in which he explained Ah Chang's living habits in detail: the food he likes, the color he likes, the time he gets up in the morning, what to do when he has a nightmare, and what he does when he has a nightmare. How much water he should use when taking a bath, how hard he should wash his hair, likes to drink black tea but hates adding milk, etc., and even his preference when making love, all are carefully written down."

Yulu took a deep breath with emotion: "It's almost like a demonstration."

Mrs. Ye gave an "um", and the corners of her lips curled up helplessly.

"I felt the same way when I first saw the letter. I was a little unwilling, so I wrote back to him behind Ah Chang's back. I called him Brother Huai in the letter, and I described what Ah Chang did every day, and all the things he got along with. write it all down, sometimes with my
