Chapter 3 21-30

twenty one When I met Yuan Xiaochen, she was already a very skilled white-collar worker, full of dreams of being poor, full of vigor, and never giving up. Although she was in a Chinese company, she insisted on changing clothes a day according to American rules. She had at least one Five different professional suits in order to be fresh and pleasant within a week. With these five suits, she can wear hundreds of different effects.You can read various trademarks that symbolize luxury in English, French and German. Famous fashion designers say it like their relatives. You can even remember the Japanese pronunciation of Issey Miyake. When you read Japanese and American comics, you love to insert a Beijing dialect English words, there is also an English name called Angela, her ideal is to buy everything she likes, and find a man who is handsome, rich and loves her. She was born in a poor family, unfortunately, she fell into this reasonable fashion pursuit , it is conceivable that at the same time, she was also taken aback by various small traps invented by businessmen—all kinds of advertisements aroused her possessive desires, and then worked hard to satisfy these desires. You know, there are so many clothes and shoes that you can open a fashion store, and you have changed five mobile phones, some are gifts from others, and some are bought by yourself. In her opinion, every change of a model means an improvement, and I don’t know if it is an improvement. what.If she can succeed, then I believe that she will own 10 cars of different brands and 10 houses, buy them all in famous locations around the world, skip samba on the streets of South America, lose money in North American casinos, I have seen wild animals in Africa and took pictures in front of various places of interest in Europe.Supporting parents, donating to friends, giving children a good education, loving cats and dogs, being safe and responsible, content and happy, is a wonderful life. What else can the poor dream of?

But now this dream is far from being realized, Yuan Xiaochen is still in the pre-starting stage, Yuan Xiaochen is punctual, obedient and helpful, I mainly mean that she goes shopping with her friends, besides, she does not miss every bit of what the big city has to offer Because of the convenience, she would drink a bottle of mineral water on the way to work, and read the fashion magazines she cared about at the newsstand several times, instead of buying one to go home.She will pay attention to every discount and price reduction in the mall. If she unfortunately buys the same dress that is more expensive than others, it will be like being insulted.She is also brave enough to try. I am often sent to the second floor of the shopping mall by her. When I come back after walking around, I find her sitting in front of a certain counter on the first floor, with her face painted like a little ghost, trying a lot of fun. A free facial mask promoted by a merchant.

In addition, Yuan Xiaochen's submissive personality also extends to other aspects. For example, when she has sex, her posture is monotonous, her legs are separated at 30 degrees, her arms are stretched out, her eyes are closed, she does not move, she does not make a sound, and she does not even seem to breathe harder. When you let her go, she gets up to take a shower, and of course, in hindsight, she does a lot of tricks, mainly limited to describing the other person, of course, with vivid language that makes you regret your exciting experience. The above is my casual introduction to Yuan Xiaochen, so that you can have a preliminary impression, so as not to confuse her with others.

twenty two When Yuan Xiaochen was hooked, I was carelessly writing three romance novels at the same time, and each book had a beginning, and there was no more content. I mean, I was keeping the beginning and ending with three girls. Nothing to do with the indiscretion below, I know I've never been a moral example worth mentioning myself, and some writers, whether they can fool girls or not, just make up nonsense stories all day long to deceive readers, I think It would be better to lie to some girls and tell the truth to the readers. Of course, the latter is more difficult to do, otherwise I would have written three books. I mean, I finally won a chance to write a book. Writing my fourth romance novel, I started and waited for Yuan Xiaochen's continuation. Anyway, she became my friend with benefits, even she said so herself.

twenty three One morning in March, I woke up with a strange feeling that something bad was about to happen. Sure enough, I slipped and fell in the shower and got a bruise on my knee. My swimming card On the last day, there were 20 times in total, but I only swam 3 times. Driven by a feeling of loss, I decided to swim for the last time. When I went out, the gray clouds spread high in the sky, the sun was blocked behind the clouds, and I couldn't find the exact location, but there was a cold wind blowing on the ground. I knew that between the sky and the earth, Hundreds of millions of creatures, whether they are active or passive, are struggling to move. Like me, maybe it's just for the sake of moving.

I drove to the swimming pool and found that I forgot to bring my swimming trunks and swimming caps, so I had to buy them at the canteen. In fact, there were as many as seven or eight of the same swimming trunks and swimming caps in my house, but I still failed to learn the lesson.I tidied up in the locker room, entered the swimming hall, and found that I was the only one in the empty pool. A sense of monotony arose spontaneously. I only swam 500 meters before it was over. The key to the closet disappeared. I went back to the pool to look for it. A kind lifeguard jumped into the water with a goggle and helped me find it at the bottom of the water. I had to dive back and forth twice in the swimming lane I was swimming in, and I found it. The key fell by a water tank at the bottom. I climbed ashore, took a shower again, got dressed, and dried my hair. I hunched over under the hand dryer in the bathroom, letting the hot air blow me around, leaving the cleaners passing by dumbfounded.

It was already afternoon when I left the swimming pool. Thinking about the beginning of this new day, I couldn't help but feel at a loss. I must do something meaningful. What should I do?I decided to go to the bookstore. Due to an inexplicable superstition in book knowledge, when I was desperate, I didn't know why I always ran to the bookstore in the end, just like believers rush to the church. I drove the car to the Sanlian Bookstore near the art museum, and wandered beside the rows of books. There are no beautiful women here. If you want to see beautiful women, you can only read pictorials. Of course, there are also books on the second floor An art department, where in the pictorials there are many nude beauties that are rare to see on the street, and even their pretentious postures cannot be shown by ordinary people.

twenty four I firmly believe that, compared with speech, no matter how absurd the words are, they are more thoughtful, but they are not as expressive as they are when they are spoken.However, for someone with a bit of imagination, this situation can be completely solved.For this reason, I prefer reading to listening to people talk.In real life, listening to people talk can hardly produce other effects other than a serious decline in IQ. However, walking in and out of bookstores and browsing books made me temporarily forget the boring and commonplace world around me. In time, I surpassed the extreme and small self, and communicated with those who have ideas in my imagination, and I felt that the grade has improved a lot.I just looked at the books in a blissful way, and arranged the things I wanted to buy in a pile, very satisfied with my eyesight.Two hours passed before I knew it. In a feeling of smugness, I was tired from standing and my eyes were tired from reading, so I went to the coffee shop on the second floor with the book I picked out, ready to take a break. I ordered a cup of coffee, sat in a corner while drinking, and thought about the cold wind blowing outside, and the pedestrians who had to walk up and down the street, and felt a warm and comfortable atmosphere from the bottom of my heart When I got up, I picked up the coffee cup from time to time and drank it in small sips, feeling lazy physically and mentally, almost as if I was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, two girls came into my view. They just came in. One was ordering drinks at the counter, and the other was sitting at an empty table not far from me. From the side, the one who bought drinks looked like It was a bit familiar, and when she turned around, I realized it was Yuan Xiaochen's friend Yao Jingjing, and when I saw her shoulders on her back, it was exactly the same as Yuan Xiaochen's, and I was even more sure. 25 I waved at Yao Jingjing, she froze for a moment, then there were lines of laughter on her face, and she came straight to me. "How about secretly doing homework alone?"

"yes." "Come on, you can climb up as soon as you get a ladder! You must be waiting for a tryst with Xiao Qing'er," she said with a sensible look, "don't worry, I will spare your life, don't tell me Yuan Xiaochen." "You are really considerate, I knew I would have messed with you at the beginning." "Fuck me? It's a good idea! I won't fall for your tricks." "What trick do I have? Tell me." "You guys are all romantic, it's not news, alas, I just saw your book downstairs, I'll buy some later, can you sign for me?"

"No problem, the phone number is written under the name. You'd better give it to other beauties after reading it." "Don't tell me, there are quite a few beauties in our company who like to read your books. I said I've seen you, but they still don't believe me." "You go back and tell them, I think they are going crazy, tell them to come to our house for a free night shift after get off work, our house is the most famous hourly house in Beijing, that's great!" "Okay, I'll go back and convey to you." "You're such a nice person, don't you think it's bothering me to praise you for looking good today?" Yao Jingjing was overjoyed, and pretended to be a beautiful woman: "Annoyed, I'm annoyed!" I laughed. "How did you trick Yuan Xiaochen from our family?" "Hey, it's not easy? I saw her walking on the main road, so I stretched out my slender leg and tripped her somersault. When she got up and got angry, she fell in love with me!" "Pooh!" 26 Yao Jingjing and I talked nonsense, which made her smile and speak loudly. I was so sleepy at first, but now I became more energetic. I think Yao Jingjing is a little more energetic than me. Otherwise, how could I stretch my neck? With an attitude of being willing to chat, you didn't even see the waiter who delivered drinks?Not to mention leaving her companion behind. "Hey, how is Xiaochen doing? I haven't heard from her for a long time." Yao Jingjing said. "I still want to ask you? She is haunted by ghosts, and I don't know how many wild men are wilder than me." "Actually, Xiaochen and I don't know each other very well. We met in the TOEFL class before. I thought I had an extra tutor who would push me to make progress. I didn't expect that after we met, we would go shopping together, find a man, and pay the tuition for nothing. .” "How many men have you found together?" "It's useless to inquire, anyway, we won't look for someone like you." "What are you looking for?" "What's the matter? Want to find material from me?" "Yeah, without you, what would I write? If there is nothing to write, how would I live on?" "That's right, so let's go, one day you invite me to eat Ah Yi's abalone, and I'll make up some nonsense for you when I'm full and overstuffed." "Then it's better to drink together. I'll tell you some nonsense when I'm drunk." "Do not listen!" "Forget it, it's still up to you, let's go to Ayi abalone, I will eat abalone, you will drink plain water, and when you drink enough—" "Why are you so wicked!" 27 "Thank you for your compliment." I replied cheerfully. "You're welcome, just give me two books." "I only promised you a free autograph." "How petty." "Hey, you are generous - go downstairs and buy a hundred books I wrote, and distribute them on the main road. I am here to thank you for your enthusiasm. Go ahead." "Why?" "It's up to you to be generous, otherwise, we'd be stingy enough to get together." "Who's with you?" "If I give you the book, you will be with me, right?" "Neither." "It's all over! My hopes have come to naught. Just now I was thinking of leaving you a phone call with my signature so that I could have a secret relationship with you—disappointed! Boring! Angry! Goodbye! For nothing! Miss, pay the bill!" "Come on, you can't help being funny too! Why don't I buy books? Buy a hundred books and send them along the street for free." "No! I don't agree!" "why?" "I can't lower my value, free delivery is not enough! With your beauty, you can go to the bar and cheat in the middle of the night, even if you sell Heineken beer, you can sell a hundred or eighty bottles, let alone my art The product is broken, it cannot be delivered for free, and it has to be sold at a higher price." "it is good!" "You promised quite quickly, why are you still sitting here motionless?" "Isn't it dark yet? Be patient, wait a minute, don't worry, I'll go get dressed later, please use a calligraphy brush to write some dangling, fragmented book titles on my back Come on. Then, after you invite me to dinner, I will be dispatched, and I want to see if I can change the group of people who want to buy beer and buy your book!" "Pooh!" 28 While talking, Yao Jingjing's phone rang, and it was a short message that said "Do Not Disturb". When I turned around, I found that the girl who came with Yao Jingjing had disappeared. I nodded and said, "Well! She must be I ran away because of guilt!" "What's the matter?" "Because she had a double drink." When I said this, Yao Jingjing suddenly blushed, she realized that she was too devoted to me. I then teased her: "Are you thirsty? I'm thirsty too." Yao Jingjing raised her hand to call the waiter, the waiter came, I ordered another cup of Coke, she ordered a cup of iced coffee, when the drinks came, we almost drank them each, but didn't say anything in between, just flipping through the books at hand . "Everything is unspoken!" I slapped the table, and suddenly said to Yao Jingjing full of pride. Yao Jingjing quickly said "fuck you" to me, but she didn't intend to move at all. We each ordered a drink again. This time, I ordered iced coffee and she ordered Coke. When the drinks came, I reminded her: "Be careful, drink slowly." "I want to drink quickly." "Then, grab my drink when you're done drinking. In this way, there will be a closer relationship between the two of us." "It's intimacy!" "Good job! Cultured!" I patted the table again and gave Yao Yao Jing a thumbs up. Yao Jingjing gave me the middle finger. "It's more intimate this way." I sighed and whispered. Yao Jingjing picked up the cup and wanted to do it, I hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, it's too fast, I haven't done a good job with the relationship between the two of us, the old couple who fight and fight and throw pots and bowls Get ready," imitating Cantonese, "give me a little time, okay?" Yao Jingjing laughed, sometimes it is so easy to make a fake come true. 29 During dinner, Yao Jingjing and I were sitting in a small restaurant called "Wujiang Yu" in Dongzhimen. Between us was a pot of Wujiang fish boiling in red oil. Yao Jingjing told me that she had just resigned from a company and was waiting to arrive. I work in another company, and my long-term plan is to study in the UK for a year and get a master's degree. It is said that it is relatively easy. As for the future?Either a white-collar worker, or marry a golden husband, that's all.Girls along the way are clever ghosts, they did not struggle to climb the social class Instead, rely on a little bit of personal strengths, such as small beauty, to bypass those ladders flexibly. Beijingers call this group of people "human spirits", which means that no matter how they mess around, this group of people always has the means to overcome them. Achieving a conformist living standard without compromising self-respect and without sacrificing entertainment. We started to have a quick meal, then slowed down, and Yao Jingjing began to happily tell me about how she had just entered the society and sold cosmetics at the counter at Xidan Station. One of the interesting things was that she met the man who abandoned her. A friend's girlfriend came to her counter to try a mask, "I wiped her face with my hands, and even gave her a few small mouths, which made a lot of noise. Not trying to serve her a few more times, I would have resigned from there long ago." 30 When it was time to pay the bill, while waiting for the waiter to change the money, I lost no time to ask her: "Do you have anything to do tonight?" "It's all right," she said. "Where do you live?" "Live with my parents, but I often don't go home." She handed over the words. I couldn't resist the temptation, so I immediately answered, "I don't have anything to do tonight, why don't you go to our house later." "I have an interview at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. In fact, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. My new job has already been settled. I just want to go and have a look." "Then we can go to bed early!" "Pooh!"
