EP 126. Unlucky Chapple

Like many black guys, Chapple also likes rap music very much. Outside of working hours, his dressing style has a bit of hip-hop style.

He likes to wear a baseball cap on weekdays, and today is no exception, but the difference is that there is an inconspicuous white streak under his cap today.

People with a little bit of life experience can tell at a glance that that thing is definitely not a decoration.

"Chapple, what's the matter with your head? Is it hurt?" Shi Xiaolei quickly recognized that the gauze was wrapped under the hat.

"I got a little injury, it's okay." At first I wanted to hide it, but when Shi Xiaolei asked, Chapple had to take off his hat, and smiled apologetically: "It's almost healed, the doctor said Yes, let me remove 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 don't rush to work."

"It's really okay." He raised his hand and patted the top of his head lightly. Chapple shook his head: "Look, it really doesn't hurt."

This matter is neither big nor small.

Half caring, half curious, taking advantage of the short time before opening for business, several people asked about the ins and outs of the matter.

That's how it happened.

Last Friday was the last day before the Spring Festival holiday. After work, thinking that there will be a few days of vacation in the future, and the time is quite rich, Chapple arranged a task for himself... It's not a big deal, but after being rejected by Claire, he felt a little empty, and just happened to meet another person who was more suitable. The girl with the appetite, this kid has no hesitation in empathizing with another, and has set that girl as his target, planning to pursue her during the holiday.

Since you want to pursue others, you must arrange an effective plan.

Inviting the girl to a meal, taking her to a movie or something, and spending the night at home thinking about it, Chapple came up with a rather ingenious schedule.

As a result, on the second day, when the two of them watched the evening movie, drove past the south bank of the Hudson River, and were about to go to the girl’s rented house to continue to deepen their relationship, they encountered a little accident—no There was a burst of crackling gunshots from the pier far away, so he couldn't die, a stray bullet just flew over and grazed the top of his head.

"Isn't it? So dangerous? I thought it was glass or something else.

Upon hearing the word bullet, Claire showed a terrified expression.

Lisa's reaction was similar, with panic in her eyes.

"Oh, I'm unlucky too." Chapple himself was quite relaxed, without any fear: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have rented that broken convertible. Besides, taking the road by the Hudson River was also a wrong choice. "

In order to please other girls, I went to rent a convertible car. Similarly, in order to please the girl, this kid thought of taking a long way and took the road beside the Hudson River...the view over there is relatively wide, and the lights on the other side can be seen across the river bank, although nothing is particularly bright At first glance, but in general comparison, the scenery along the way is better than those seen when walking through high-rise buildings.

"Fortunately, it's just a bruise, and this is the luck of your misfortune." While comforting, he raised his hand and patted Chapple on the shoulder. Pausing for a moment, Shi Xiaolei finally couldn't hold back the thought of complaining: "You kid also has some brain problems. In such a cold day, you actually ran to rent a convertible car? What on earth are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking of the same price anyway. It's a bit of a loss not to choose a better-looking one." Chapple sneered and pouted his face: "There is a buddy who happens to work in a car rental company, and he can get me an internal price." .”

"So you let the girl sit in the car and blow the air?"

"No, that car has a soft top, which can be buckled up if you feel cold."

"...But you still haven't buckled 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 Is it?"

The injury was not serious, which means that when the stray bullet hit Chapple'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, there will be such an extra layer of defense-it's not an open top, and you can't pretend to be aggressive. Chappelle will definitely not open the window stupidly again.

The car glass is brittle and brittle, and it is still a bit difficult to break it with bare hands. In other words, although that thing can't withstand the close-up shooting of a gun, if it's a stray bullet with little strength left...

Maybe it can be blocked.

Even if you can't stop it, you can take off most of your strength.

"...Ah." After pondering for a moment, Chapple sighed with a dark face.

"Chapple." Patting Chapple's arm, Lisa made a suggestion with a look of fear on her face: "Why don't you move out. Hell's Kitchen is too unsafe."

"That's right." Claire also echoed: "It's nothing during the day, but at night, it's really too messy over there."

After a little hesitation, Chapple didn't immediately accept the proposal: "I'll think about it."

"Eh?"

"Why? Is there not enough money? I can lend you some."

Smiling and thanking Lisa for her enthusiastic help, Chapple shook his head: "It's not because of the money, the boss's salary is high enough, I have saved a little bit, and it's no problem to rent a house."

"Why is that?"

"Because of a will." I don't know if it's because the wound is healing, or because I haven't washed my hair for a few days, but Chapple unconsciously raised his hand...and touched the bandage on his head. , Remembering that he was still injured, Chapple's face flashed a bit depressed, and he put his hand down again: "You also know that my mother ran away a long time ago, and my father also died of illness a few years ago. Now I am with my aunt The family lives together. According to the will left by my father before his death, I have to stay at my aunt's house until I am 21 before I can inherit his inheritance. Otherwise, all those things will be donated and I will lose a penny. no."

"I see..." Lisa blinked, and suddenly remembered something: "Eh? It hasn't been long. If I remember correctly, you were born in April."

"Yes. Lisa, do you remember my birthday?" Chapple became happy: "Yes, in two more months, I will be 21, and I can move out of my aunt's house to live by myself. Now, I'm going to hold a party, you must come to attend."

"No problem, I will definitely prepare a gift for you."

What kind of inheritance, what kind of party, it's all other people's business, and has nothing to do with me. In fact, after confirming that Chapple was fine, Shi Xiaolei's attention had already been diverted elsewhere.

At this moment, Shi Xiaolei did not expect at all what he would see when he went to Chapple's birthday party two months later, and what would lead to the follow-up...
