"never mind."

Luke smiled and said to the sharpshooter Herman who was following up.

"Hey, Phoebe, it's not Valentine's Day, why did you start burning your ex-boyfriend's stuff?"

Sharpshooter Herman took a look after he came in, greeted Phoebe first, and then couldn't help laughing.

"how do you know?"

Monica was surprised.

"come on!"

Sharpshooter Herman shrugged and said with a smile: "We are firefighters. We have seen too many similar things. Every year when Valentine's Day comes, we have to deal with several fire alarms like this one day."

"I'll just say it."

Phoebe shook her head and laughed, "There really are these rituals!"

Monica and Rachel Qiqi rolled their eyes.

"Okay, I'll go down first, Luke, come quickly too."

Sharpshooter Herman left after a reminder.

"Don't burn it next time, it's too dangerous."

Luke looked at the three women and smiled.

Monica looks away from Luke.

Rachel smiled straight at Luke.

Phoebe winked to Luke to coax Monica.

"Sister, is this our fire barrel?"

Luke didn't know how to coax him anymore, so he had nothing to say.

"Correct."

Phoebe smiled and said, "You know I like to keep something meaningful. I even keep Ross's Science Kid comics, not to mention this fire barrel that keeps us warm for many nights."

"Hey, what is this burning?"

Luke took advantage of the opportunity to look at the burning things in the fire barrel, and saw a mass of unburned silk underwear, and couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.

"It's from Rachel's ex-boyfriend Adam."

Phoebe teased.

"Is your ex-boyfriend Adam so hot?"

Luke joked, "Are you sure it's not Chandler's?"

"Stop laughing at Chandler all the time!"

Monica mocked, "That's your son after all!"

"..."

Luke couldn't help but smile wryly and was speechless.

"what?"

Rachel was amazed.

"I'm leaving. I'm still on duty. Come back after get off work."

Luke was unwilling to explain this embarrassing question, so he had to leave first.

When Rachel understood the origin of this stalk, she was dumbfounded: "OMG! Luke has such a relationship with Nora Bing?"

"You know Nora Bing too?"

Phoebe wondered.

"Of course I know."

Rachel excitedly said: "That's my idol! I love to read her books the most, she made me dream of being a writer all the time, I said how she mentioned New York's outstanding people in a recent TV interview and gave her a wave of waves. As for the inspiration, it turned out to be Luke, which makes sense..."

"What about you?"

Monica said angrily: "She is Chandler's mother, and she is so many years behind Luke, it's disgusting, okay?"

"But she's Nora Bean."

Rachel looked understanding: "Haven't you read her series of novels? It's not like there are such plots in them~"

"Now that your credit card is burned, should I ask Chandler to give you her mother's phone number, so that you can ask her how to be a Liu Bei writer?"

Phoebe suggested with a smile.

"That's just fantastic."

Rachel said happily.

"Why ask Chandler for it, ask Luke directly."

Monica sneered: "Or let Luke teach you writing directly. He was taught by Nora Bing himself, and he has extremely rich experience, which is more than enough to teach you."

"is it okay?"

Rachel asked subconsciously, but met Monica's eyes and immediately changed her words: "I mean forget it, Nora Bing is the best."

"I'm calling Chandler over here."

Phoebe walked across the door, grinning, to call Chandler.

"Aren't you going to have a baby in the future?"

Chandler followed Phoebe and asked Rachel as soon as he came up.

"what?"

Rachel didn't react for a moment.

"My fault, you probably really can't have a baby."

Chandler patted himself on the forehead, and then mocked: "I should ask you if you are not planning to adopt children in the future?"

"What did you say?"

Rachel was upset: "I just want to ask your mother about writing skills. What does this have to do with whether you have children or not?"

"Of course it does."

Chandler said angrily: "Look at me! If you know my upbringing experience, as long as you still want children and are not prepared to abuse your children, then you will never have the idea of ​​imitating my mother and writing Liu Bei's novels. "

Monica explained Chandler's tragic childhood experience because his mother was Queen Liu Bei.

"OMG!"

Only then did Rachel understand, and exclaimed, "I don't know about these things, but your mother is an amazing woman, and I think you should be proud of her instead of resisting."

"It's not your mother, of course it's easier for you to say."

Chandler sneered.

"..."

Rachel was speechless.

"just forget it."

Monica persuaded: "There are so many jobs, you don't have to be Liu Bei's writer."

"But I can't do anything."

Rachel said sadly.

"Don't take yourself so lightly."

Monica encouraged: "I believe you have many advantages and abilities."

"Tell me."

Rachel looked at Monica expectantly.

"Uh……"

Monica immediately choked, thinking for a long time, but didn't say anything.

"Hehe, these are really too many advantages and abilities, which have blocked your mouth."

Chandler sneered.

"To shut up."

Monica glared at Chandler, and then comforted Rachel: "There is nothing you will do, only what you want to do. At first, just find a job and do it. The cafe downstairs is recruiting Waitress, you can try it."

"correct."

Rachel's eyes lit up: "The waiters are so simple, I'm sure I can do this, and they will definitely be better than the waiters in the cafe downstairs. I remember the last time I came here, it was a bar. The waiters inside were so stupid. You can’t do such a simple job well.”

"Oh, I don't think so."

Phoebe shook her head and said, "Although the Central Park Cafe downstairs is recruiting waiters, I heard that a part-time college student has already been recruited. It's cheaper that way, and it may not be possible to hire another full-time waiter."

"I can compete with them!"

Rachel said confidently: "College students go to school, love and have fun, how can they have time to be a waiter, or a full-time job like me is more competitive."

"Okay, as long as you have this confidence, I will support you!"

Phoebe nodded vigorously.

"what happened?"

Monica instinctively sensed that there was a problem, staring at Phoebe and asking.

"It's nothing."

Phoebe still wanted to cover it up, but seeing Monica staring at her, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't like that new part-time female college student named Shannon, she's a bitch, and more importantly, she just Come and ask Ganser that her boyfriend is a singer, can he sing in the cafe, hello? I have always been the resident singer in the Central Park cafe, okay?!"

"Xiang Nong is still a little girl, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Monica couldn't help persuading: "Besides, she can be so active in planning for her boyfriend, she is still a good person."

"what!"

Phoebe pointed at Monica with wide-eyed eyes: "See, even you have been deceived by her! I have been on the streets for so many years and have met too many people. I can tell you with certainty that this Xiangnon is A bitch! Don't let her fool you!"

"I believe you!"

Rachel stood on Phoebe's side: "When I succeed in the competition, I will definitely help you secure your No.1 status as the No. [-] resident singer at the Central Park Cafe."

"This is my sister!"

Phoebe hugged Rachel happily.

"It would be interesting if Joey saw this scene."

Chandler teased.

"what are you talking about?"

Rachel always felt that Chandler was weird, and finally couldn't help asking: "And where are you looking?"

"No."

Chandler moved his gaze up from Rachel's lower body, and said perfunctorily.

Monica glared at Chandler.

Phoebe giggled.

"Okay, you can go."

Monica was afraid that Chandler would tell the legend that Rachel was a heart-changing cheerleader, so she hurriedly drove Chandler away.

Phoebe was dragged by Rachel to consult about the Central Park Cafe.

Monica was a little restless.

Phoebe glanced over from time to time, secretly smiling.

She set a fire, and Luke came to put out the fire. Although it was extinguished outside, according to the professional terminology of firefighters, it has not been completely extinguished. The open flame is gone, but the smoldering fire is still there.

Only when it accumulates to a certain level will it burn up.

late at night.

"Monica, where are you going?"

Rachel got up to go to the bathroom, but when she saw Monica open the door and go out, she couldn't help asking curiously.

"I……"

Monica was confused.

"Are you looking for Luke?"

Rachel suddenly said.

"I'm going to fulfill the bet and break up completely!"

Monica explained.

"Ok."

Rachel smiled back.

"I'm serious!"

Monica said: "After fulfilling this bet, I will definitely break up with him completely!"

"I believe you."

Rachel laughed, "But why don't you just let him come over?"

"I'm doing it for your own good."

Monica didn't want to continue this topic either, so she left after saying a word.

"Hmm."

Rachel froze for a moment, let out a noise from her nose, then went back to the room and took out a book from under the quilt to read for a while, then her eyes became blurred...

Luke's apartment.

"Monica."

Luke opens the door to let Monica in.

"I came to fulfill the bet, and then we broke up completely."

Monica said blankly.

"I was so wrong..."

Only the two of them were alone, Luke hugged her from behind, and naturally there were infinite sweet words coming out.

"Don't talk so much."

Seeing that she couldn't resist, Monica closed her eyes and just repeated: "After fulfilling the bet, we will break up completely."

"it is good."

Luke saw that Monica was determined, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he decided to meet Monica's request to break up.

The next day.

Central Park Cafe.

"Where's Monica?"

Everyone gathered, Ross asked.

"Why do you care so much?"

Phoebe interrupted, "The most important thing right now is to help Rachel win the job."

"Can I?"

Rachel was suddenly a little nervous.

"you can."

As soon as Ross saw the former goddess like this, he immediately put his own sister behind him, and encouraged Rachel.

"I don't know, Gunther is not an easy talker."

Chandler groaned.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the man behind the bar.

I saw him not tall, with short silver hair, washing cups there with a blank face, and commanding the waitress to work from time to time.

He is Gunther, the manager of the Central Park Cafe.

"Go."

Phoebe pushed Rachel.

"ok."

Rachel straightened her clothes, coughed lightly, walked over, and smiled sweetly at Ganser: "I heard that there is a waitress here?"

"You want to apply?"

Ganser was taken aback.

"is it okay?"

Rachel said pitifully.

"no problem."

White-headed Ganther glanced at Rachel, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Great, I finally have my first job."

Rachel was overjoyed, and thanked the white-headed Ganser, "Thank you so much, Manager Ganser, you are as kind as my father."

"...I'm only 28."

Gunther's mouth twitched.

"what?"

Rachel was dumbfounded, and looked at Ganser again and again, but couldn't connect Ganser with the 28-year-old young man.

"Shannon, come and teach Rachel how to be a waiter."

White-headed Ganser turned around bitterly and confessed.

"Ok."

A delicate girl agreed, but looked at Rachel with something wrong.

When she came to apply for the job a few days ago, the manager Ganser was not so easy to talk to.

Not to mention that the flirtatious jerk in front of him mocked him as an old man.

"Have you ever been a waiter?"

Xiang Nong looked at Rachel with a half-smile.

"No, but what's so difficult about it?"

Rachel and Shannon looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Phoebe immediately, gave a look of "I agree with you", and returned Shannon's smile.

Thinking that she was also the cheerleader prom queen back then, the eyes of appreciating whores are naturally first-class.

She now fully trusted Phoebe's judgment of Shannon.

Of course, she would not show weakness in such a scene.

"Okay, a new guest, you go and try."

Shannon signaled to Rachel that a guest had come in with his eyes.

"Ok."

Rachel raised her head and walked over to entertain.

After a while, I heard crackling, and Rachel dropped all the coffee ordered by the customer.

"Are you OK?"

White-headed Ganser first asked Rachel concerned, then frowned and looked at Xiang Nong who was watching the fun: "She's new here, won't you, won't you teach me well?"

"..."

Xiang Nong's smile faltered, and he felt the maliciousness of this world.

noon.

Rachel didn't know how many times she dropped the cup, and even the white-headed Gunther couldn't bear it, so she told Rachel once to let her do an easier job for the time being.

"Monica!"

When Rachel was in embarrassment, she caught sight of a familiar figure walking by in an abnormal posture, and immediately walked out, stopping her: "Why do you look like this?"

"It's nothing."

Monica looked embarrassed: "You got a job in the cafe?"

"of course."

Rachel walked around in her apron and proudly said, "How can this be difficult for me."

"Good job, you go to work first, we'll talk after get off work."

As Monica spoke, she wanted to go upstairs step by step.

"What's wrong with you? Not feeling well?"

Rachel only felt that Monica's movements were unusually awkward, giving people a feeling that she was forced to walk normally but couldn't do it.

"No, go to work."

Monica walked away with a perfunctory sentence.

Rachel looked at Monica's back, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Have you broken up with Luke?"

Monica paused and said vaguely, "Let's count."

After speaking, he suppressed the discomfort and quickly disappeared before Rachel's eyes.
