Pendulum Rider

On the last night of National Day, when I got home, I fell asleep.

The next day, the 8th, was the first day of my long-lost vacation.

After I learned about my relationship with Xiongxiong from Lilith, I always felt that it would be embarrassing to see him next time.

On this day, I didn't get up until after ten o'clock. Maybe I slept too much, and my head was dizzy when I got up.

The first thing I did after waking up was to check my phone to see if there was any new news. I saw my best friend Bai Yulan said that she was also on vacation today and wanted to ask me out to play. This was what she sent me last night. See.

The way I chatted with her has long since lost politeness and unnecessary words.I hate it when people ask me 'are you there? ' or 'Are you free now? ' Then, I have nothing to say, and I don't bother to reply to such messages, just say what I have to say, don't ask if I am there, even if I am, sometimes I will treat it as if I am not.

There is absolutely no such superfluous words in the chat records between Bai Yulan and I. I always tell the other party directly if there is something wrong. The other party will naturally reply after seeing it.And when both parties are online, there is no need to find any reason to stop chatting, just say something casually, or simply not send a message, if you are chatting with someone you don't know well, you have to add a few polite words.

After I saw the news, I called Bai Yulan and told her that I just saw the message she sent last night, and said that I have no plans today and I can go out with her.

Thinking about it, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we agreed to meet at the exit of People's Square subway station near Raffles City at noon.

When I arrived at the appointed place, there was still more than a quarter of an hour before the appointed time.I called Magnolia and told her that I had arrived. She said she was buying drinks at Starbucks in Raffles City, and asked me what I wanted to drink, so she ordered for me first.I asked her to order a drink that was different from hers, and she could change the drink. After hanging up the phone, I was just about to put the phone back in the bag when I was bumped by a tall and burly man. .

Before I could react, Sister Ying suddenly appeared in front of me in an anthropomorphic form and grabbed the man's hand. The man couldn't see Sister Ying and thought it was me who grabbed his hand. He turned around and looked at me At a glance, nothing was seen.

We looked at each other for a while, and he looked down at his wrist again, his eyes gradually revealed a frightened and incomprehensible expression of the current situation.

The man took out a mobile phone from the small bag tied around his waist, and I recognized it was my mobile phone at a glance, because during the National Day, Xiong Xiong put a luminous sticker with bear paw prints on the mobile phone for me, and at the same time I also spied a lot of cell phones in the man's bag.

The man threw the phone to me, and Sister Ying let go of his hand. He felt that there was no strength in his hand, so he hurriedly fled from this place.

"He chose the wrong target." I muttered to myself while looking at his back.

Just as I was about to head to Starbucks, I heard a familiar voice in Puff Factory, and I recognized my old friend at a glance in the crowd.

"Is this vanilla sweet or not?"

"Sweetness is just right."

"I like to eat very sweet."

"I don't charge you if it's not sweet." The waiter still kept smiling at this strange guest.

"Really? Let's have something less sweet."

"There are no non-sweet puffs in this shop." The standard smile on the waiter's face changed into a helpless smile, and it seemed that 'MDZZ' was written in his eyes.

I originally wanted to say hello to this rare old friend Qian Jinjin, but it seems that I'd better pretend not to know her.I don’t know if she has a mental problem. She has a lot of money in her family, but she still has to steal things in Japan and be sent back to her country. Now she is still asking some weird questions here. It’s not about buying fruit. How can there be puffs that are not sweet? , unless it is salty.

I quietly walked around her and came to Starbucks, only to see that Magnolia had already found a place to sit down and waited for me. Opposite her was my drink, and she also ordered a matcha cake.

After I was seated, she said, "It's been a long time since I had afternoon tea with you. We often have jet lag."

"Yes, I went to see the psychiatrist you introduced to me before, and the situation is much better now."

"I can see that your complexion is very good. I can't do it anymore. I always have pimples on my face. You are going to Japan to lead a group this National Day. Have you bought me a concealer foundation?"

"I bought it, it's in my bag, can I give it to you now?"

"Let's wait a while. After you have been to the psychological consultation clinic, what do you think of my distant cousin?"

"As expected of women's Dabai, it perfectly solved my problem."

"I heard that there are male patients complaining about him, saying that he is a feminist and does not accept male patients, but the dean has not responded to this." Bai Yulan took a sip of coffee and continued, "How are you and that raging boy recently?" How is it?"

I asked back, "How else?"

"Actually, I recently..." Bai Yulan paused in the middle of her sentence, as if she felt a little hard to say.

"Did you fall in love with some European guy when you led a group in Europe?"

"Not a boy."

"So which girl is it? I wouldn't mind if you were gay."

"Not really."

"Then is it the uncle or the old man?"

"It's actually like this. I met a gay couple in the UK. I met them by chance at a bar. I heard them talking about 'Pendulum'. At first I couldn't understand what they were talking about. Later, I found out that they were talking about pendulums. Then I went to make a conversation, saying that my best friend can also control the pendulum, and then we got to know each other well, they belong to the British blood hunting organization Rose Association, and said that I don’t know who destroyed the research institutes in some parts of the UK, I won’t go into details about this, what I want to say is that the gay couple wanted a baby recently and asked me if I could..."

Before Bai Yulan finished speaking, I interrupted her: "Are you going to quit your job in a travel agency and go abroad as a surrogate? How is this possible?"

"No, they have already communicated with the local gay surrogacy agency, and a British woman has already agreed. They asked me if I could donate eggs."

Hearing this, I didn't know how to react for a while, so I just said: "Think twice before acting."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know what to do. What do you think I should do? If it were you, what would you do?"

"Definitely refuse."

"Okay, then I'll tell them that."

"Is it me they asked in the first place?"

"Yeah, because I told them that my best friend can control a pendulum, so they asked me to ask you, is it possible?"

"After my things were taken away, I felt a little anxious. When I was studying, my deskmate came to borrow correction tapes from me. Returning back, not to mention sending part of my body abroad.”

"You just sent it away, and you are also very supportive of homosexuality. Isn't that a good thing?"

"There are so many gays in the world, I don't even have enough to give away 12 a year. Tell them that your persuasion results are of no use."

Bai Yulan changed the subject: "It's your birthday next month, where are you going to eat?"

"I don't care, it's the same everywhere, I don't know if there is work that day."

Just as Bai Yulan was about to speak, she saw something on my shoulder. The next second, a hand was on my shoulder. Ignored the "spiritual body" behind him.

"Is it Ya Xin?" It was Qian Jinjin's voice, "Most people would turn their heads to take a look, right? Why are you ignoring me?"

Just as I was about to turn my head away, Qian Jinjin sat on the empty seat next to me and said, "I just bought some puffs at Papa Duobel, do you want to try one?"

Magnolia's eyes wandered over Qian Jinjin and me, and finally stopped on me, looking at me with puzzled eyes, so I introduced to her: "This is my former roommate Qian Jinjin, you can call her Akin."

Bai Yulan once heard me talk about Qian Jinjin, and when she heard the name, she immediately understood it.People who don't know, when they meet Qian Jinjin for the first time, they will think that she is a polite and generous girl who always shares her things with everyone. Who would have thought that she is accidentally stingy.There are also people who are just the opposite of her. On the surface, they are stingy, but in fact, they are not lenient when spending money for anything.

"So you are Qian Jinjin. I heard Yaxin mention you. My name is Bai Yulan." Bai Yulan introduced herself to Qian Jinjin, and then said, "Qian Huang is the surname of her parents, right? I also know a psychological Doctor, Xie Lulu."

"I know a man named Jian Shi whose name is Chi."

I cleared my throat and said, "Don't talk about such dirty topics while having afternoon tea."

"It's okay to pick up shit and eat it, it's not dirty."

I thought about Lin Jiayi's brain circuit: Jane (rape) Shi (corpse) Chi (魑), it can't be more dirty.

Then I thought of Lin Xiwu's brain circuit: fried pigs, sure enough, they are not dirty at all.

Seeing that I fell silent, Bai Yulan asked, "Ya Xin, do you know anyone with such a strange surname?"

"There is a primary school classmate whose surname is Cheng, and his name is Weiwei. When we are talking about application problems in math class, everyone will laugh when they see a problem with a distance of 1, although it is not funny to think about it now."

Qian Jinjin, who was at the side, gnawed on a puff and asked, "By the way, Ya Xin, have you received the invitation letter?"

"What invitation letter?"

"The birthday party will soon be Lin Jiayi's birthday, right? Ye Zhihao plans to hold a birthday party for him."

"I haven't received it. Are there many people who participated?"

"It is said that many of them are members of the foodie group."

"That's probably because Jiayi thought I might not be in China that day, so he didn't invite me."

Bai Yulan participated in the discussion: "Speaking of the invitation letter, have you heard of it? There was a rich family whose household registration book was stolen, and the household registration book was used to apply for a marriage certificate. There are fewer people."

"I actually knew that Shang Luoke was investigating this case recently. Xiong Xiong heard about it from him, and came to tell me again, and even joked that he would come to my house to steal at any time. But where did you hear about it?"

"Where is Dabai, Dabai heard about it from other places, and this happened recently."

"I also know about this. Do you know why there is no news about it? Because it was blocked. I heard it from Ye Zhihao. He is very familiar with the actress Yan Shirong who is suddenly popular now. He is the household registration of Yan Shirong's family. Ben was stolen."

"Shang Locke is probably still looking for the murderer."

"What's the murderer's intention? There's nothing like stealing a household registration book." Qian Jinjin wiped his lips with a tissue after eating a puff.I always feel that hearing the word 'steal' from her mouth is a bit harsh.

"Speaking of which, how are you doing recently? I saw you on the TV news last year."

"I'm fine now, and my household registration is still on the Ye family's household registration book. Ye Zhihao's father's company was handed over to his college classmates to manage it. At first, the employees were very dissatisfied with this person who became the boss by relying on connections. , Later, I felt that he was very capable, so I took full service, although there were rumors among the rotten female employees that the high-level male colleagues were all served in sleeping clothes. As for me, I was hired by Ye Zhihao to clean his house, and he didn't Often at home, always on business trips to the Japanese head office, I live in the guest room, and usually use the secondary card of his bank card for daily living expenses, and then, occasionally he will take Lin Jiayi home, so he will notify me in advance and let me go back His father's house."

"Do you think this kind of life is interesting?"

"I think it's very interesting. In fact, I really want to stay away from the city, find a farm, plant land or something, and live a slow-paced life."

"You're already very slow, and if you slow down, you won't be on a jet lag."

Magnolia on the side was drinking coffee while listening to our conversation in silence. As their mutual friends, it was quite embarrassing for one of them to have nothing to say.

So I suggested: "Let's change a topic that allows the three of us to talk? For example, clothes, jewelry, bags, cosmetics, etc."

"Do you have a partner? I'm a widow now." Qian Jinjin immediately talked about privacy issues, "Let's talk about it together."

"No." Magnolia and I said in unison.

"I know that Ya Xin is in the Two-dimensional circle, what kind of circle are you in, Yulan?" Qian Jinjin used a nickname for Bai Yulan very familiarly.

"A three-dimensional idol boy group."

"I like kimchi very much recently. You know, Ya Xin, that guy named Pu in your foodie group. Can you get me a piece of his autograph?"

"It's not easy, and your male god keeps changing, maybe you will change your target soon."

"But the acquaintances around me have been changing male gods all the time. It's rare to find someone as dedicated as you."

"Lin Jiayi has been focusing on Brother Lu for 23 years, and this year he finally shifted his focus. Although he said verbally that Brother Lu is no longer his favorite, who knows what he thinks in his heart."

"It doesn't count if he is the person around him. The male god should be an existence that is out of reach, so there is nothing wrong with changing frequently, right?"

"Everyone's opinion is different, but Ya Xin and I have the same opinion, our destiny is Jun."

"It's all Jun?" Qian Jinjin looked at Bai Yulan with a puzzled face.

"That's right, my male god is Jun Matsumoto, and Mei Xin's real life is the voice actor Jun Fukuyama."

"Even if your first life remains the same, there will still be two or three births, right?"

"For me, all idols are equal except for ARASHI."

Qian Jinjin turned her gaze to me again, and I said to her, "You know, when we were in the same dormitory, you asked me a lot when it was time to turn off the lights at night."

"But isn't your male god Shanghai Metro Line 11?"

"So you still remember what I said, but how can an anthropomorphic male god be used for comparison? Among the anthropomorphic items, Line 11 is my life."

Just at this time, there was a vibration from Qian Jinjin's handbag, and then the phone rang. She took out the phone and looked at it, then turned to us and said: "The alarm set in the morning rang, I answered If you still have something to do, let’s go first.”

"Oh, bye-bye."

"Goodbye." Qian Jinjin stood up from her seat and walked out of the store. When she was no longer seen, Bai Yulan and I were relieved at the same time.

Bai Yulan looked at me and said, "If the three views don't agree, how can we be friends?"

"So, I seldom contact her now."

"Where do we go for a stroll after afternoon tea?"

"Let's go for a walk on the Bund."

"I heard that the Bund is not safe recently."

"Why is it unsafe, Sister Lily's cafe is also nearby."

"It's okay during the day, but people always come out to make trouble at night. They seem to be looking for someone."

"Are you sure those are people? After all, there are many blood clans on the Bund, and they all gather at the Blood Kiss Cafe late at night for breakfast."

"Maybe, weren't you bitten by a blood clan the year before last? Then let's go shopping in another place."

"Why don't you go to the Blood Kiss Cafe and find out what's going on with Sister Lily or Baguette? After all, it's still daylight, so there won't be any trouble, and I went there alone last night, and didn't find anything unusual."

Seeing my firm tone, Bai Yulan agreed to go with me.
