Cheating players in Marvel
EP126. Unlucky Chappell
Like many black boys, Chappelle also likes rap music. Outside of working hours, his dressing style has a bit of hip-hop style.
He usually wears a baseball cap, and today is no exception, but the difference is that today there is an inconspicuous white line under his hat.
Anyone with a little bit of life experience will know at a glance that that thing is definitely not a decoration.
"Chappell, what happened to your head? Are you injured?" Shi Xiaolei quickly asked after seeing that there was gauze wrapped under the hat.
"I had a minor injury, it's okay." He originally wanted to hide it, but when Shi Xiaolei asked about it, Chappell had no choice but to take off his hat and smiled apologetically: "It's almost healed, the doctor said.
Yes, let me take out the stitches the day after tomorrow."
"What's going on? Does it still hurt?" Lisa and Claire also came over, with concern in their eyes.
"Yeah, the injury hasn't healed yet, so there's no need to rush to work."
"It's really okay." He raised his hand and patted the top of his head gently. Chappell shook his head: "Look, it doesn't really hurt."
This matter is neither big nor small.
Half out of concern and half out of curiosity, taking advantage of the short time before opening for business, several people asked about the ins and outs of the matter.
This is what happened.
Last Friday was the last day before the Spring Festival holiday. After get off work, thinking that I would have several days of vacation and plenty of time, Chappell arranged a task for himself... It was not a big deal, but he was rejected by Claire. After that, I felt a bit empty, and happened to meet another girl who I liked more. This guy didn't hesitate to fall in love with another girl, and set that girl as his target, planning to pursue her during the holiday.
Since you want to pursue someone, you must arrange an effective plan.
Treating the girl to a meal, taking her to a movie or something, and spending the whole night thinking about it at home, Chappell came up with a pretty promising plan.
As a result, the next day, when the two of them finished watching the evening movie, drove by the south bank of the Hudson River, and were about to go to the girl's rented house to deepen their relationship, they encountered a little accident - no
There was a burst of crackling gunfire from the dock far away, and it was so deadly that a stray bullet flew over and grazed the top of his head.
"Isn't it? So dangerous? I thought it was broken by glass or something else." Upon hearing the word bullet, Claire showed a very frightened expression.
Lisa's reaction was similar, her eyes full of panic.
"Oh, I'm unlucky too." Chappell himself was quite relaxed and showed no fear at all: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have rented that broken convertible. Besides, taking the road along the Hudson River was also a wrong choice.
"
In order to please the girl, he went out to rent a convertible. Similarly, in order to please the girl, the boy thought of taking a long way around and took the road by the Hudson River... That
The view from the side is wider, and you can see the lights on the other side across the river. Although there is nothing particularly eye-catching, overall, the scenery along the way is better than what you see when walking between high-rise buildings.
"Fortunately it's just a scratch. You're lucky among misfortunes." While comforting him, he raised his hand and patted Chappell's shoulder. After a moment of pause, Shi Xiaolei finally couldn't help but want to complain: "You are the same, kid.
There's something wrong with your brain, why would you rent a convertible in such a cold weather? What on earth are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking that the price is the same anyway, so it would be a bit of a loss if I didn't choose a better-looking one." Chappell sneered and said with a smile: "I have a buddy who happens to work at a car rental company. He can get me an internal price."
.”
"So you just let the girl sit in the car and enjoy the breeze?"
"No, no, that car has a soft top. If you feel cold, you can buckle it up."
"...But you still didn't buckle it." Shi Xiaolei continued to complain speechlessly: "Speaking of which, if you had buckled the roof or rented an ordinary car, you might not have suffered this injury. Don't you think
What?"
The injury was not serious, indicating that when the stray bullet hit Chapel's head, there was not much lethality left.
In other words, as long as there is something blocking him, he may not be injured.
And if you rent an ordinary car, you will have an extra layer of defense - it is not a convertible, so you can't show off, and Chappell will definitely not open the windows stupidly again.
The car glass thing is brittle, and it is still a bit difficult to break it with bare hands. In other words, although the thing can't withstand the close range shooting of a gun, if it is a stray bullet from a longer distance, there is not much strength left...
…
Maybe it can really be blocked.
Even if you can't block it, you can still remove most of the force.
"...Sigh." After thinking for a moment, Chappell had a dark face and let out a long sigh.
"Chappell." Patting Chapel's arm, Lisa made a suggestion with a frightened look on her face: "How about you move out. Hell's Kitchen is too unsafe."
"That's right." Claire also echoed: "It's okay during the day, but at night, it's really chaotic over there."
After hesitating for a moment, Chappell did not immediately accept the proposal: "I'll think about it."
"Eh?"
"Why? Don't you have enough money? I can lend you some."
Smiling and thanking Lisa for her enthusiastic help, Chappell shook his head: "It's not because of money. The boss's salary is high enough. I have saved a little bit, so renting a house is no problem."
"What's the reason for that?"
"Because of a will." I don't know whether it was because the wound was healing or because he hadn't washed his hair for a few days. His head felt a little itchy. Chappell unconsciously raised his hand... and touched the bandage on his head.
, remembering that he was still injured, Chappell's face flashed with depression, and he put his hand down again: "As you know, my mother ran away a long time ago, and my father also died of illness a few years ago. Now I am living with my aunt
The family lives together. According to the will my father left before his death, I must stay at my aunt's house until I am 21 years old before I can inherit his inheritance. Otherwise, all those things will be donated and I will lose a penny.
Not available."
"Is that so..." Lisa blinked and suddenly remembered something: "Eh? It doesn't seem to be that long ago. If I remember correctly, you were born in April."
"Yes. Lisa, do you remember my birthday?" Chappell became happy: "Yes, in more than two months, I will be 21, and I can move out of my aunt's house and live on my own. Until then
When the time comes, I’m going to hold a party, and you must come to attend.”
"No problem, I will definitely prepare a gift for you."
Inheritances and parties are all other people's business and have nothing to do with him. In fact, after confirming that Chappell was fine, Shi Xiaolei's attention was already diverted elsewhere.
At this moment, Shi Xiaolei had no idea what he would see when he went to Chappell's birthday party more than two months later, and what consequences would follow...
