Chapter 51: Meeting the Angel
Chamberlain got rid of the crazy fans, of course, maybe they didn't really love basketball, and the reason why they showed so much enthusiasm for him was just to get an autograph or a group photo from him, and then go to friends and relatives to show off.
He simply dressed himself in disguise, put on big sunglasses, and then went to a barber shop to get himself a big bald head. He used to be proud of his short flowing black hair, but now everything about him has vanished with Samael's disappearance.
Chamberlain felt that he was very unproductive, and in the past eighteen years, he did not have that strong body, and he was not alive and well.
He used such words to persuade himself, but Chamberlain knew that it was useless. The most painful thing in the world is not what is lost, but what is gained first and then lost!
Sudmons received a call from Chamberlain and rushed over quickly, and when he saw Chamberlain, he gasped directly and shouted, "Hi, Z, what's wrong with you?" Fuck I've never seen you so bad except the day you were diagnosed with gigantism four years ago! ”
Chamberlain smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Four years ago was not as bad as it is now, don't talk about me, what were you doing before?" I thought you would be at home. ”
Sudmons dragged Chamberlain to a cold drink shop and asked for two cups of iced coffee - Lao Mei is like that, she likes to drink cold things no matter what day, and now it's almost Christmas, and the snow is falling outside, but the cold drink shop is still hot, and even in a bar, Americans have to put a lot of ice in their cups to drink something.
"I've got to find something to do, man." Sudmons laughed, revealing a mouth full of snow-white teeth, "Do you know, I've learned a little bit about the Middle East lately, and I mean Iraq." You may not understand, Z, our government has committed heinous crimes there, Saddam Hussein may be a bad guy, but what does this have to do with the people of Iraq? ”
Chamberlain was listless, but Sudmons became more and more vigorous: "The people there are living so miserably, especially the children, Z, from the first second I learned about it, I knew what I should do for the rest of my life, I wanted to join the anti-war coalition, I wanted to atone for what our government had done." ”
"Miserable?" Chamberlain sneered and pouted, "I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who is worse than me." ”
Sudmons repeatedly asked him what had happened, but how did Chamberlain explain it? Could it be that he made a deal with the devil and he didn't give enough chips, so the devil took back his power? Oh, not the devil, it's an alien, but what's the difference? Sudmons would have believed in him!
Chamberlain's sigh finally angered Sudmons, and he lifted Chamberlain up, pointed to his knee and yelled, "What the are you nervous about?" I don't know what happened to you, maybe you wanted to make a girl, and then you were rejected, don't football stars like to do such things? But fuck, I'm telling you, don't show you that stinky in front of me, okay? Look at my knees, it's fucking over, maybe I'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my fucking life, maybe I'll be on crutches, but did I say anything in front of you? Have I complained about anything? If you pay more attention to the Middle East, you know how lucky the fuck you are to be alive and still playing! ”
Being scolded by Sadmons like this, Chamberlain's mood was a lot more uplifted, yes, he was actually lucky enough, at least he got a contract of eight million, you must know that the first year of his contract is guaranteed, no matter what, the Warriors have to pay him this money, otherwise he will have to pay higher liquidated damages.
"Thank you, brother." Chamberlain looked Sadmons in the eye and said, "Yes, I'm lucky enough, I shouldn't expect more." ”
Sudmons smiled, he was a little too excited about what happened just now, thought for a while and said, "It's not quite right what I did just now, so let's invite you to dinner." ”
Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders absently and said lazily, "I'm sorry, I don't have an appetite right now." ”
Sudmons smiled mysteriously and said, "Come with me, you'll have an appetite." ”
I took a taxi, and under the guidance of Sudmons, the car turned left and right, and finally stopped at a dilapidated fast food restaurant, which is very common in the soul ballet district, like the various small restaurants in Chinese cities, mainly serving some cheap burgers, maybe a lot of chicken and beef and so on, but don't expect how hygienic it is, and certainly don't expect how good it tastes.
"This is it?" Chamberlain looked at Sudmons suspiciously, he was born in the slums, and he knew this kind of small fast food restaurant too well, and he didn't believe it if there was anything delicious here.
Unlike China, small fast food restaurants and restaurants in the United States will never have any special recipes to make exclusive food, which is related to the American way of eating, but also related to people's values, in the United States, as long as there is a little bit of craftsmanship, chefs will go to work in large and medium-sized hotels and restaurants, where they can enjoy a better life.
At this moment a timid voice rang out, gentle and quiet, like a wind chime in the silent wilderness: "Sir, what do you want to eat?" Want a milk chicken juice burger? That's our specialty, and it tastes delicious. ”
Chamberlain looked back and was astonished to see a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old looking at them expectantly as warm sunlight poured in through the dappled glass under a window.
Bathed in sunlight, the girl's long, straight and silky hair shone with a pale golden glow, as if there was golden sand flowing through her hair. The delicate skin is like a piece of white warm jade, the eyes are as beautiful as diamonds, the facial features are delicate and graceful, the willow waist is slender, and the whole person is like a little angel falling from the sky.
The only regret is that the girl has a large birthmark on the right cheek, and the purple-red birthmark covers almost half of her face, so that if you look at her face not from the front side but from the left side, it is almost perfect like a goddess.
It wasn't the first time Sudmons had eaten here, he asked for sausages, fried chicken tenders and burgers, and the girl smiled contentedly, turned and walked to the counter, and walked lightly and rhythmically, like a cheerful fawn, which should have dancing skills.
"How's it going, do you have an appetite?" Sudmons winked at Chamberlain, "Is that little star or some famous lady you are looking for, comparable to Shirley?" Just go for a laser birthmark surgery, and I'm willing to bet that this girl will win even if she goes to the Miss America contest. ”
He still misunderstood Chamberlain, thinking that this guy was plagued by emotional problems, but in fact Chamberlain now longed for a girl to be conquered by him, so that his pact with Samael could continue.
Chamberlain rolled his eyes, took out his mobile phone and went to the corner to continue to contact Samael, but the phone was connected and still no one answered, Chamberlain sighed melancholy, turned his head but was startled, and at some point the beautiful girl stood behind him, blinking her big beautiful eyes and looking at him curiously.
"Mr. Chamberlain?" The girl asked tentatively.
Entering the small restaurant, Chamberlain had already taken off his sunglasses, and he shrugged his shoulders, which was equivalent to acknowledging his identity.
The girl didn't ask him for an autograph or a group photo, but hesitated, lowered her head and rubbed the rough floor on her toes, and asked in a low voice, "Can I use your phone?" I want to call my mom, our phone at home has been shut down due to arrears. ”
Chamberlain handed the phone to the girl and said generously: "You call, I have a lot of phone bills." ”
The girl happily took the phone, and her little hand wiped it on Chamberlain's big hand, leaving a cool, silky, slippery and greasy feeling.
Sudmons ordered a very simple meal, and the girl quickly delivered it, and although the fast-food restaurant was small, the food was exquisitely cooked, and there was even a lace parasol on the huge burger, so that it looked like a small beach.
The girl put down the plate, and a fat man staggered in through the door, and when he entered the house he exclaimed, "Hey, Shirley, you damn girl, where have you been?" Did you run away with some stinky man? Come here, I'm going to eat......"
Chamberlain thought that this man was looking for trouble, so he rolled up his sleeves and stood up, and his career on the court in the past few days has brought him quite a lot of anger.
When the obese middle-aged man saw the girl, he staggered over to Chamberlain and Sudmons, pulled up a chair and sat down. As soon as the man approached, Chamberlain smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and there was a strange smell in the alcohol, spicy and sweet, as a child who grew up in the slums, he was familiar with this smell, it was the smell left after the burning of marijuana!
The girl obviously coped with this scene, she apologized to Chamberlain and Sudmons first, and whispered: "I'm sorry, this is my father, he may be drunk again, please don't mind too much." ”
After apologizing, the girl dragged the man's arm and tried to pull him away, but the man was extremely fat, I am afraid that he was heavier than Chamberlain, who was two meters and sixteen, and the girl was like a small willow tree compared to her.
The girl looked at Chamberlain gratefully and admired it: "Your strength is so great, no wonder the fans call you SUPER-Z." ”
Let the girl say this, Chamberlain suddenly felt as if something was wrong, just now whether in the gymnasium or elsewhere, he felt that his strength had been greatly attenuated, but now he dragged this big fat man who weighed probably two hundred and fifty pounds without much effort, this should not be.
Chamberlain, anxious to find out his physical condition, did not stay in the fast food restaurant long, he quickly ate the food that Sudmons ordered for him, left a hundred yuan bill, and left the small fast food restaurant with the latter in a hurry.
