Chapter 40: The Ring and the Soulmate

Not far from the house where Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo live now, there is a pedestrian street. The shops inside the pedestrian street are naturally doing very well, and it also drives the business of all kinds of stall owners in the adjacent street, and more and more small vendors come here to set up their stalls - in short, there are so many delicious foods here.

Raichu occasionally comes here to buy something to take home, but they have never taken it seriously, and when they came to see it today, the variety of vendors was even richer than they expected.

Not only are there all kinds of fried food and snacks, but also stalls selling clothes and small jewelry, what shocked Lei Qiu and Song Pingguo the most was that there was actually a small playground in the square, many parents were taking their children on electric small planes and electric trains, Lei Qiu stood in place and stared blankly at the small plane moving up and down in the air for thirty seconds, Song Pingguo poked her with her elbow: "What do you see?" Would you like to sit? ”

Raichu shook his head with his mouth half-open: "No, I just feel like a rural person has just entered the city - why is there a playground in this good night market?" ”

After five minutes, Song Pingguo realized that Lei Qiu said that she didn't want to play, maybe she just didn't want to take a small train and a small plane, and she still wanted to play other projects.

And it's a lot of fun.

She first asked a woman selling hairpins and headbands next to her to change her change, and then went straight to the two claw grabs that glowed bright white in the dimly lit square, and smacked her lips in disappointment: "Why are they all so ugly?" ”

This is true, although the claw machine itself looks no different from the regular machine qì in the big shopping mall, but the dolls in this machine really look too magical realism, they are all recently popular animated character dolls, the original design may still be quite cute, but the real thing is like being run over by a steamroller after leaving the factory.

However, Raichu's principle of life that values process rather than result is also in effect here, and this disappointment did not last a few seconds, she threw the coin into the machine, half of her face pressed against the glass of the claw machine, and carefully observed the movement of the mechanical claw.

"Aren't you cold?" Song Pingguo looked at her with her arms crossed, "Is the nonsense made up, I'm still waiting to hear it." ”

"Wait, when I catch this doll first, it's almost a little bit......" Raichu almost lifted the entire claw grabber, "Oh, can you come over and do a favor......"

Song Pingguo asked her with a smile: "What help?" ”

"Help me see if there's anyone around." Raichu quietly lifted one side of the claw machine, and the doll, which was originally hovering at the entrance of the cave, instantly lost its balance and fell out of the exit with a bang.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't talk to me, I don't know you. ”

Lei Qiu grinned and hugged the extremely ugly doll: "Oh, make reasonable use of your own advantages, I have invested more than ten or twenty coins, and I can buy three or four such ugly dolls." ”

"I mean, if you dare to keep holding that doll, then I won't know you in the rest of the shopping process."

Without saying a word, Lei Qiu gave the doll to the daughter of the stall owner who had just exchanged change for her, and the little girl politely said thank you, but she couldn't hide her dislike for the doll in her eyes.

"Alas, everyone likes good-looking things, it's really a cruel world, let's go eat something to calm down." Raichu turned around and walked straight to a stall selling fried food, "Boss, fried shimeji mushrooms." ”

Song Pingguo corrected in a low voice: "That's oyster mushrooms." ”

"Gee, it's not the same thing." Raichu looked at the churning oil flowers in the pot, "Don't speak, let me quietly explore my heart, so that I can tell you why you are my soul mate." ”

"If you can't make it up, just say it, I don't blame you."

"How can you make up something about love stories? It's called the natural outpouring of inner feelings, and you have to let me brew it! ”

While eating fried oyster mushrooms and wandering aimlessly, Song Pingguo's eyes suddenly lit upβ€”she found a traditional entertainment that interested her.

Ferrule.

When Song Pingguo went out with her parents when she was a child, she often encountered similar ring stalls. In fact, there are nothing too valuable on the stall, most of them are toys, knick-knacks and the like, just to have fun, often parents reluctantly take out their wallets under the begging of their children, and then take over ten rings from the boss.

Because of the time of work, Song Yong rarely had time to go out with Song Pingguo, and it was rare to have a chance to go to the night market, he pointed to the roadside stalls and asked Song Pingguo one by one: "Do you want to eat this?" Do you want to play this? Got one you want to buy? ”

It's a pity that Song Pingguo didn't give him room to play at all, no matter what answer he asked, he shook his head, and when Song Pingguo finally stopped and said that he wanted to play with the ring, Song Yong was very excited to put the money into the hands of the boss, in exchange for ten rings, which were transferred to Song Pingguo.

However, let a primary school student throw the ring, ruling out the special situation that the luck of the day was so good that it exploded, and the result can be imagined.

At that time, Song Pingguo was still very resentful.

When Song Yong had the opportunity to take her to the night market again, she looked at the ring stall and said coldly.

"It's all a lie."

Then Song Pingguo never played the ring again.

After many years, she really wanted to try again. In contrast, Raichu was as interested in rings as he was in a crane machine, and immediately went to buy ten rings and began to search for what he wanted in the field.

Seeing her child-like excitement, Song Pingguo still couldn't help but want to laugh.

Now that I think about it, it is true that Raichu did not enjoy a childhood where she could have fun, or rather, she had nothing to play with when she had time to play when she was a child, and then she had something to play with, and she did not have this time again.

From the time he was taken away by his master Pichu to learn the play, Raichu put all of himself on the stage.

This is exactly what Song Pingguo is worried about, of course she believes that Lei Qiu likes her, and she also believes in Lei Chu's character, but how much weight does she have in Lei Chu's life? Will there be a weight of acting?

It's silly to know that such gains and losses are admitted, but it is difficult for people to use their intellect to overcome emotions.

After about fifty or so turns, Rachu finally took the second trophy of the day, the keychain.

Or a couple keychain. There is a plastic bear on both hoops, and the bear's hands are jagged and just close together.

Rachu actually thinks that the two bears on the keychain are actually a bit ugly, obviously trying to be cute, but the craftsmanship is not only not cute, but also has a unique magic. It's the same style as the doll she grabbed from the claw grabber just now.

But it doesn't matter, the point is not what the bear looks like, the point is that this is a couple keychain.

It is an important prop for the lyricism of the next large section of Leiqiu and the cooking of chicken soup for the soul.

"Look." Lei Qiu showed Song Pingguo how the bear keychain was fastened together, "Can you close it?" ”

Song Pingguo nodded and thought to herself, what are you doing here, are you going to perform magic?

"Now that you close your eyes, can you tell what the sawtooth on their hand looks like? How many teeth are there and what are the angles? ”

Song Pingguo shook her head honestly: "I don't know." ”

"Do you know what your soul looks like?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know." Raichu smiled, "But they're closed." ”

Can you make this up?!

Song Pingguo felt that if she didn't give such a hard-working answer, then she would be too unsympathetic.

The two of them stood in a dimly lit corner of the square, holding hands and neither of them spoke, but they knew in their hearts-

Closed.

It took a while for Raichu to muster up the courage to ask, "...... Why the hell are you asking me this? ”

Song Pingguo also casually made up a reason - no, he found a reason from the bottom of his heart to answer Lei Qiu: "Oh, because I think it's so cute that you are making up lines to fool me while yelling in your heart." ”

Alas, how can human love be so hypocritical.

After a long time, Song Pingguo said slowly:

"Raichu, did you say before that you think the most important thing in acting is a sense of security?"

"yes." Raichu nodded without hesitation.

Only with a sense of security can you not be afraid of the stage, and only then can you abandon the reality and devote yourself to a certain role. Lei Qiu heard a joke made by the head of the troupe, saying that an actor came on stage and remembered that the gas at home was not turned off, but the curtain was opened and the lights were on, so she quietly finished the whole performance, and ran home without even taking off her clothes and changing her clothes when she got off the stage.

"So......" Raichu cautiously added, "so you quarrel with me, or you have a temper, you must not stay overnight, otherwise I will always remember in my heart that you are still angry, and I will not be able to act anything......"

"You see, I'm not a rich second generation, and I don't have any connections accumulated over the years, the only thing I can do is not let you lose this frank sense of security. I think it's pretty simple. Song Pingguo ignored Lei Qiu's eyes, turned her head to look at the stall selling fried food next to her, "Do you eat fried bananas?" I just ate too much, and I definitely can't eat one by myself. ”

"Then buy two fried bananas, I'll eat one and a half, and you will eat half." Raichu clapped his hands as if he suddenly realized, "This is a good idea, in the future, we will order two portions of everything, I will eat one and a half, and you will eat half a portion." ”

Song Pingguo smiled and patted her on the back: "I don't know, I think you are abusing me." ”
