Central Park Cafe.

"So what's the gossip news recently?"

After Rachel guided the group of girlfriends to sit down, she asked expectantly.

Ever since she ran away from marriage and cut off the past to be self-reliant, she hasn't lived the boring life of a celebrity for a long time, and she can't wait to update her news.

"Well, the biggest gossip today is still that you left Barry on the altar and ran away."

"Then Barry and Minty hooked up and went on the honeymoon instead of you."

The girlfriends laughed jokingly.

"..."

Rachel's smile faltered.

She wanted to hear the gossip in the circle of friends in the past, but she didn't expect to eat melons and eat the past that she least wanted to mention.

"I heard you returned the diamond ring to Barry?"

A girlfriend joked, "Guess whose hands it's in now?"

"No!"

Rachel understood at a glance, and was immediately unwilling to accept the result.

"That's right, it was in Minty's hands, and Barry formally proposed to her."

The girlfriends didn't play tricks, and directly announced the answer: "She doesn't care at all that you don't want her."

"I heard you reconciled, is it true?"

"Ha ha."

Rachel really wanted to scold Mindy, but when she heard this, she could only pretend to be magnanimous. She just asked her to say it clearly but couldn't do it, so she could only laugh.

"I already knew Mindy was a bitch."

"Yeah, I dare say she has premeditated."

But the girlfriends began to stand on Rachel's side and start scolding out of face.

Rachel was slightly lost in thought.

In the past, she would definitely agree, and could scold her better than anyone else, but thinking that Mindy would always be the first to agree with her, now hearing the familiar tone of her girlfriends, she feels strangely strange, and has no mood to agree at all.

"So, Rachel, when do you plan to return the king?"

The most beautiful best friend noticed Rachel's inattention, and asked the most anticipated topic in everyone's mind.

"what?"

Rachel froze.

"When are you going to come back?"

The most beautiful girlfriend repeated: "It's been more than a month now, how long are you going to stay here?"

"I'm going to stay here forever, I have a job here."

Rachel was at a loss, and forced a smile.

"Here? Work?"

The most beautiful best friend looked around and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"

"Writing the drink of the day...it's pretty good."

Rachel tried her best to prove the value of what she was doing now, but when she met the eyes of the most beautiful best friend, she became more and more reluctant to speak, and finally she couldn't say anything at all.

Birds of a feather flock together.

In middle school, you can still pay attention to the existence of a simple friendship. The probability is small, but it is still possible to happen and exist.

But after going to university and entering society, the circle of friends will only be united because of their similar status.

The former high school best friend Monica's family is just a good middle class, and her job is also quite satisfactory, so in her eyes before, she just ignored it, and when they met again, she didn't even politely invite her to the wedding.

And look at her girlfriends!

All of them were born in the affluent middle class or above.

Or it will be the same as her previous plan. After college, she will go directly from being raised by a rich father to being raised by a rich husband, and become an expensive wife.

Or the family is very good and they are capable of making a great career.

For example, the most beautiful girlfriend who asked the question, the other party has now started a business partnership with her father.

This is different from working for the boss's father, and relying on being the boss's father to start some small businesses. As a partner with the boss's father, the ability must be recognized at the very least.

Therefore, in the eyes of the most beautiful girlfriends, serving coffee as a waiter is really worthless, and it is not even as valuable as the other two marrying a rich husband and simply being an expensive wife.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After a reunion, Rachel was depressed.

Monica and Phoebe watched the whole scene.

night.

Monica's apartment.

Rachel sat alone on the bay window again, looking at the night in a daze, with a depressed expression.

Monica was cleaning the apartment, looked up at Rachel several times, opened her mouth, but was always speechless, and when Phoebe came over, she gave her winks again and again.

"Rachel, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Phoebe walked over to comfort Rachel full of joy.

"I do not know."

Rachel said blankly, "I feel like I'm wrong."

"You are right."

Monica couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Monica!"

When Rachel heard it, she glanced over and said dissatisfiedly: "My whole life may be different from now on. This is a major matter related to my whole life to think about. I'm not in the mood to argue with you now."

"That's not related to my whole life event."

Monica said angrily.

"Oh please!"

Rachel came over with disgust and dissatisfaction: "You don't know Luke's flirtatious temperament. For a person like him, do you really think he is a big deal in your life?"

"..."

Monica froze, seeing that Phoebe was also looking at her, put away the rag in her hand, pointed at Rachel and said, "You are right again, but you are really sorry for me."

"I know, and I regret it too."

Seeing that Monica wanted to reconcile, Rachel immediately got down from the bay window, walked over and took Monica's hand and said sincerely.

"Damn it, it's really hard for someone to refuse to be an Eskimo sister with you. I'm not the first, nor will I be the last."

Monica and Rachel looked at each other for a few seconds, then said discouragedly: "OK, we're reconciled."

"Yes!"

Rachel felt that there was finally some good news, her life was bright again, and then she felt something was wrong, and looked at Monica: "What do you mean you are not the first?"

"Oh please!"

Following Rachel's example, Monica said with distaste and dissatisfaction: "In this way, I will forgive you and become real Eskimo sisters with you. Are you still hiding it from me?"

"What am I hiding from you?"

Rachel was dumbfounded.

"Let me remind you, is the name Melissa familiar?"

Monica stares at Rachel.

"Familiar, but which Melissa are you talking about?"

Rachel was still puzzled.

"Your college sweetheart, Melissa."

Phoebe reminded playfully.

"what?!!!"

Rachel was completely stunned: "How do you know about Melissa? No, how do you say we are lovers?"

"Aren't you?"

Monica complained: "Don't hide it from us, Luke met Melissa a long time ago, and told about their past, and also knows that your college romance with Melissa is over."

"God, Luke and Melissa?"

Rachel was completely shocked.

"Yes, Luke and Melissa!"

Monica laughed at herself: "Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he got together with anyone. I was already mentally prepared."

"Melissa is so pretty."

Phoebe couldn't help sighing, seeing Rachel and Monica staring at her, she tilted her head and smiled and said, "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth, Melissa is as beautiful as you, Luke's eyes Always the highest."

"Don't think I'm not mad at you just by saying that."

Monica gave Phoebe a hard look: "You traitor!"

Phoebe shrank her neck, smiled and fell silent.

One is a girlfriend's relationship, and the other is a sibling relationship, what can she do?

"So you and Melissa?"

Phoebe didn't dare to look at Monica, and continued to look at Rachel with a smile: "I didn't ask for myself, I asked for Joey~"

"Then tell Joey to shut up!"

Rachel complained: "Melissa and I are not that exaggerated at all, we just got close to each other after drinking too much in college."

"I don't care what kind of chaotic relationship you have."

Monica picked up the rag and continued cleaning.

"I see."

Phoebe showed the old Si Ji's expression: "Now I can be considered a college student, and I really want to try the life of a female college student..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly tilted her head regretfully: "Oh, it's a pity that I have David, so I can only try the style of female college students and professors."

"How could Luke be with Melissa?"

Rachel was still a little reluctant to believe this fact.

Phoebe told her about the scene where Melissa reunited with Luke, and Rachel was dumbfounded.

In the past, she had always doubted Melissa's orientation. After all, the way Melissa looked at her back then... Now she was finally convinced.

Rachel asked a few more questions, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, these are other people's affairs, and I don't even know about my own affairs."

"What's there to think about, your approach is actually right."

Now that Monica talked to Rachel, she reincarnated as a good sister to help solve the confusion: "Yes, the current work life is not as comfortable and chic as you used to be, but this is the real life, it sucks but it's up to you Make up your mind, think about it, you will like this kind of life more and more, and you won’t think about regretting it or not.”

"really?"

Rachel looked at Monica with some doubts.

"real!"

Monica gave Yu a positive nod.

"So do you have a plan?"

Rachel asked.

"what's the plan?"

Monica was taken aback.

"Shouldn't life have a purpose?"

Rachel wondered: "For example, I used to keep swiping the credit card my dad gave me, and then I swiped the credit card Barry gave me as soon as I graduated. Well, I swiped with the credit card my dad gave me. I look at new fashion products every day, and I'm always ready Buy buy buy, very sense of purpose.

Now you let me enjoy this shitty but real life, shouldn't life have purpose?

For example, I am very confused now, and I don’t know what the future holds?Don't know what to do?
Isn't this just that there is no goal.

Do you have a plan? "

"..."

Monica was speechless.

Thinking about it this way, she really didn't seem to have a goal.

Thinking of this, she collapsed on the sofa.

"What about you?"

Seeing that she was depressed, Rachel couldn't help but look at Phoebe.

"I?"

Phoebe was already lying on the floor with a bottle of drink at this time, sucking it with a straw, and couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I don't even have a plan~ (plan). "

"..."

Seeing Phoebe's heartless appearance, Rachel forgot what was planned for a moment.

Later that night.

As soon as Phoebe left, she called Luke.

"Really?"

When Luke heard that Rachel and Monica had reconciled, he couldn't help but move.

"Correct."

Phoebe reminded: "But it's not good news for you, because you are now their common enemy."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect the relationship between their girlfriends, I don't care if they are hostile to me or not."

Luke laughed.

"I think you are trying to do something bad."

Phoebe didn't believe it at all, and pointed it out.

Luke laughed without saying a word.

"Don't mess around, okay?"

Phoebe had a headache.

"Ok."

Luke was stunned for a moment, and then apologized: "Sister, I'm sorry, I made it difficult for you, okay, I listen to you, unless they make up and make an agreement, otherwise I will never take the initiative to provoke them."

"That's what you said!"

Phoebe smiled again.

She was really frightened by Luke Hulai.

"I said drop!"

Luke smiled: "How are you and David doing?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Phoebe became depressed when she heard it: "He hasn't kissed me until now, I don't know how long I can bear it."

Emmm.

If David doesn't take the initiative, she will take the initiative.

It's just that as a girl, you have to be a little more reserved.

"Maybe he has a sense of ritual."

Luke thought for a while and said: "Halloween will be in a few days. It should be almost the same. Even if Halloween is not good, the Thanksgiving season is less than a month away, Christmas is only two months, and New Year is only more than two months away. The chances are very good." Intensive, you don't have to worry."

"Hopefully."

Phoebe shrugged and said, "But it's only on Halloween. If he hasn't acted on Halloween night, I'm going to... ask him directly."

"you can."

Luke smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Da has a party on Halloween, you can take him to play with him then."

"Of course!"

Phoebe immediately laughed when she heard that: "Matthew invited me a long time ago. He and Lily both like Halloween very much. They have been thinking about how to become the most beautiful couple at the party on Halloween night as a couple."

"Am looking forward to."

Luke laughed when he thought of the various classic Halloween cosplays of Matthew and Lily in the original time and space.

"Are you going too?"

Phoebe asked, "Alone?"

"Well, it seems that I'm still on duty."

Luke understood what Phoebe meant as soon as he heard it, and said awkwardly.

Whenever the holiday season, think twice.

When it comes to a Neptune like Luke, it is the Shura field every festive season.

Who to accompany and not to accompany, is a problem.

Fortunately, he has a job, and it is a serious job that concerns human life, so he can use this lofty reason to escape these days.

After all, there is a tradition in the world of American TV dramas, there are many strange things during the festive season, and when people are free, all kinds of strange behaviors will appear, which is a test for them, the staff of the big police system.

"Maybe I'll stop by your place."

Luke joked: "After all, nobody knows how to play like college students."

"I'm a college student too!"

Phoebe smiled happily.

"Correct."

Luke smiled: "Have fun with David."

The time will soon come to Halloween.

As people who have graduated and worked, Monica and the others didn't have much expectation for Halloween, and they didn't organize any programs, so Phoebe went to the party of Columbia students with peace of mind.

And Luke traveled through the night in New York as a firefighter, witnessing one bizarre event after another.
