American drama of life

Chapter 85 The Cry of Gambler Monica (2 chapters in 1, please subscribe!)
Supermarket.

Luke goes grocery shopping with Phoebe and Monica.

Phoebe and Monica both look like they have something to say, and Luke just pretends he can't see it.

It can be delayed for a while.

This kind of thing is really hard to say.

He is also not worried that after procrastinating in the supermarket for a long time, Ross and Chandler, who are lying on the lazy sofa watching TV in the apartment, will check his apartment on a whim, and then find a lot of cash.

The reason why the moving time is set today is to free up one day to get the 128 million black gold obtained from the dirty police secret stronghold.

Yesterday he rented a small warehouse of 5 feet by 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters in length and width) at the self-storage company closest to the apartment.

In the United States, due to the transient nature of living due to active consumption and the rental culture, as well as the high divorce rate, it is often necessary to move around.

Therefore, many people need a place to store their belongings, which can be used as a transit in the continuous moving process, without having to wander around with their belongings.

Of course, there is also a part of it because a lot of things are reluctant to throw away, and the space at home is limited, so rent a personal storage to store these things.

A typical example is Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.

He rented a personal warehouse for the old things he kept from childhood to adulthood.

The price is not expensive, 5 feet x 5 feet is only $30 per month, which is generally enough for personal use.

Luke put away some old things that were not used in the future. Of the 128 million black gold, only 1 cash was left in every corner of the apartment, and the rest were placed in personal storage.

It's also Sheldon next door, who has a few thousand in the snake guard toys, a few thousand in the ass of the Hulk and other figures, and a thousand in his wallet.

Luke chose the self-service type, only he has the key, the warehouse manager does not, as long as he pays the rent normally, no one except him is allowed to open it.

To be cautious, he also bought an early warning device that would alert Luke's cell phone as soon as the warehouse was opened.

Because of the proximity, even if the NYPD or the FBI targeted him to break in, he would have enough time to transfer the money to let them go empty-handed and ensure his own safety.

In the midst of this hesitating, the things were bought, everyone went back to the apartment, and the three of them started cooking together.

After celebrating Luke's move, Monica dragged Ross and Chandler away, who were unwilling to leave the beanbag to watch TV.

It didn't take long for her to return quietly and beat Luke again.

afterwards.

The slightly stable Monica lay flat beside Luke with her eyes fixed on the ceiling. After struggling for a long time, she finally asked, "Luke, what do you think?"

Without waiting for Luke to answer, she asked again, "What is our relationship?"

"Uh."

Luke knew that it was finally here, and thoughtfully said: "A friend above a friend, a good friend who is not full of lovers?"

"good friend?"

When Monica heard this, she half-raised her body and looked over, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, so how many good friends do you have?"

"Not many."

Luke told the truth.

Except for Monica and Maggie, the rest are short-lived relationships that don't ask questions at all.

But he knew that there would be more than these two friends who would have such a long-term relationship in the future.

So I decided to tell the truth.

"OMG!"

Monica listened to Luke say the words she didn't want to hear so calmly, even if Luke's face and body fascinated her, it still made her angry: "What's the matter with you..."

As soon as the words came out, she paused again.

Because it wasn't Luke who took the initiative to find her, but she 'hit him at night'.

So she could only sit there, rubbing her long hair with her hands, and getting angry with herself.

"Feel sorry."

Luke also sat up.

"It's not your fault, it's my fault."

Monica smiled wryly.

"It was my fault."

Luke insisted.

"Okay, so where did you go wrong?"

Seeing Luke like this, Monica looked over expectantly.

"..."

Luke twitched the corners of his mouth and pondered, "I'm sick."

"What disease?"

Monica was startled.

Luke leaned into her ear and spoke.

Monica immediately stunned and exclaimed, "Are you kidding me? You say this kind of thing!"

"it is true."

As of now, Luke can only spoil the various minor problems caused by the superhuman physique in the future.

"I do not believe!"

Monica sighed: "I have been to college and have been in love a few times, so I know the physiological difference between men and women.

I admit that you are powerful, but not to that extent. Don't forget that I taught you the cryptography of 1234567. "

"Want to gamble?"

Luke said these words cautiously, always paying attention to the movement of the firefighter system in his mind, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there was no warning.

Think about it a little and know.

Although this is a firefighter system in North America, it is reasonable to say that it should monitor and control everything, but in the end it is made in Dongguan, and it can't even care about the boudoir.

That's too inhumane.

"Oh, yeah!"

When Monica heard the bet, she looked at Luke with bright eyes: "What kind of bet?"

Emmm.

Monica, the gambler of MAX with a competitive spirit, is easily online.

"Just bet whether my body is sick or not. If I lose, I will cut off other relationships. If I win, don't talk about this topic in the future, okay?"

Luke laughed.

"That `s a deal!"

Monica stretched out her palm, gave Luke a high-five to swear, and couldn't wait to gamble.

There are only exhausted cows, how can there be ploughed land?

She won this bet!
The next day.

Phoebe came knocking on the door early in the morning.

She waited at the apartment all night last night, and she didn't come back to see Monica, and she didn't know if her best friend had a complete falling out with her brother.

After Luke opened the door, he didn't say anything to her, smiled and went to work first.

Although it is like a brother and sister, it is normal to talk about this in the American TV world, but Luke's soul is from the East after all. There is still a psychological barrier to talking about this with my sister. I simply don't say it, and let Phoebe directly ask Moni. Card.

"Monica, are you okay?"

Phoebe entered the master bedroom and was shocked when she saw Monica's swollen eyes, as if her tears had flowed back into a river.

"I do not……"

Monica saw that it was Phoebe, and just wanted to force herself to say that she was fine, but before she could finish her words, tears flowed down in disappointment.

"Damn Luke!"

Seeing this, Phoebe could only yell at Luke while walking over to comfort her injured and collapsed girlfriend: "Bad Luke..."

Having said that, she smelled the too strong smell in the master bedroom, and couldn't help but scolded: "Stinky Luke!

Monica, you deserve better. He doesn't know how to cherish it because he is too young and doesn't know how to love. "

"I can't find it..."

Monica choked out.

"If you can find it, you will definitely find it."

Phoebe comforted: "Don't keep thinking that you have a special smell on your body. Only bad men can smell it. There must be good men waiting for you in the future. It's not much worse than Luke..."

"Wow!"

When Monica heard this, she went from choking to crying.

"Don't be sad, don't be sad..."

Phoebe kept comforting and scolded Luke in her heart.

This is the root cause of her worry after knowing that Luke and Monica have a close relationship.

Luke patted his butt and walked away, but it was up to her to clean up the mess.

"What did you say last night?"

Seeing that there was nothing to comfort him, but Monica who was crying loudly, Phoebe was also anxious.

"me……"

Monica was almost speechless when she cried, and it took a long time to say the complete words in Phoebe's madness: "I lost!"

"what?"

Phoebe stayed.

"I lost!"

Monica once again said what made her cry the most, and she said louder and louder, crying: "The advantage is obviously mine, but I lost, and I lost completely! Woohoo!"

"..."

Phoebe's mouth twitched: "You bet? How did you bet?"

Okay.

She said that it was not the first time that Monica had fallen out of love, and she had never seen her cry like this, even for Luke, it wasn't like that.

Now she finally understands.

It turned out to be a lost bet.

No wonder then.

"...I still can't believe that I lost."

Monica cried and said: "I lost a game that must be won. I am a shame for all women. Luke promised me that as long as I win, he will cut off other relationships for me... ... woo woo woo."

"Don't be sad...how did you lose?"

Phoebe comforted, but couldn't help being curious and asked immediately.

Men's and women's physiology is different.

As Monica said, the advantage is in them.

Multiple to 1 heavy, how can this bet be lost.

"I do not know either."

Monica couldn't hear the words of losing, and she cried even louder when she heard the words: "Every time at first I thought I was going to win, and then I lost inexplicably in an instant. Luke is sick! He is really sick!"

Losing this bet made her heartbroken, and she couldn't help crying when she thought of it.

[-]% of it is a physiological reaction, [-]% is because of Luke's gambling content, and [-]% is because of a gambler's extreme competitive spirit.

Winning bets are lost.

For a gambler, it's like shaking a leopard with three sixes in the color cup, only to find that the other party's color cup is inexplicably filled with five sixes!

So bullying!
"Don't cry, what are you going to do now?"

Phoebe couldn't help crying.

"work."

Monica struggled to her feet, crying and dressing.

"You... why don't you take a day off?"

Phoebe advised.

"No, the new chef is very difficult to speak, and I don't want to be called the worst."

Monica wiped her tears and got dressed.

Phoebe stopped talking.

Yes, it's another gamble in disguise.

Gambler Monica is helpless.

If it goes on like this, sooner or later, the whole person will lose, and it is better to lose to Luke than to lose to others.

Thinking of this, Phoebe was happy again.

Fire Station 51.

Compared to Monica who went to work crying, Luke's face was full of spring breeze.

With the firefighting skill as a cheat, he is invincible until the available time runs out.

However, the available time has been consumed a bit recently. It is also tracking and erasing ruthless and dirty police detectives, collecting black gold to rob the rich and helping the poor, and completely crushing Monica and making her lose, all of which need to be used. time.

Now he only expects to earn some more available time during his work hours.

Otherwise, Monica is afraid that she will not admit defeat and will make bets again and again, and it is not only her.

If you want to maintain such an American drama life, you have to go through more and more tests.

And there are all kinds of dangers that require firefighting skills to attack and defend. The consumption will inevitably increase in the future, and you must rely on going to work to save people to earn enough available time.

"Hi, Luke!"

"Hi, Herman, are you fully recovered?"

Luke was changing his clothes and greeted with a smile when he saw the sharpshooter Herman coming in.

"It couldn't be better."

The sharpshooter Herman patted his chest, opened the locker, and said in his hoarse voice, "And do you know what's better?"

"what?"

Luke smiled cooperatively.

"I found a new way to make money."

The sharpshooter Herman once again turned into an old leek, and excitedly described his new idea: "I found a second-hand courtesy car, I am going to buy it, and run a sports car in my spare time.

Picking up wedding orders and those young people who need a sense of ceremony, you are a young person, you should know that they are willing to spend this money. "

Luke nodded.

In the American TV series Finding Mom, Ted, the protagonist, took out the year-end award and packed a courtesy car to pick them up for fun in order to have a good New Year with his friends.

"right!"

The sharpshooter Herman was even happier when he saw this: "Although there is only one car now, the prospects are very good, and I have made plans.

It only takes 3 knives to officially start the business of this luxury concierge team. Luke, how about it, are you interested in investing? "

"Look at this, I think it's better for you to use a car to accumulate experience and capital."

Luke declined with a smile.

He is indeed not short of this money now, but the money of 3 dollars is not easy to come out at once.

Cash is so eye-catching.

"You don't need to invest 3 in full..."

Old Leek is officially online.

"Accident, the elevator from the No. 51 fire station, the ambulance team."

After the electric bell rang, the investment of the old leek was temporarily suspended.

When Luke and the others arrived, they saw a middle-aged woman in a nightgown standing on the billboard platform of the overpass, with the words on the back: "Come and see me, Norman!"

"Deputy captain, let me go!"

Luke desperately needs to earn his available time now, and he doesn't care about the rules, looking at Vice-Captain Casey expectantly.

"it is good."

Deputy Captain Casey glanced at him and nodded: "You follow Joe, don't be impulsive, you must pay attention to safety."

"Do not worry."

Luke is overjoyed.

It appears that another benefit of the Dirty Detective Boit affair has come to the fore.

The experience of advancing and retreating with the vice-captain Casey made him more recognized by the vice-captain.

Luke and Joe went up to the flyover, strapped on safety ropes and started going up and down the platform.

Vice-captain Casey began to persuade her to come down through the megaphone.

there.

The middle-aged woman in sleepy clothes walked up and down there, shouting loudly, "Never, I will never go down unless Norman sees me.

After 30 years of marriage, my husband now refuses to look at me for 30 seconds. He treats me as an invisible person, which I am not! "

Speaking of this, she got excited, and while unbuttoning her pajamas, she opened her arms in the classic pose of Luke's counterpart, Jack, and roared, "Look at me, Norman! I'm here, do you see me now?"

"Holy shit!"

"Definitely not an invisible man~"

"Ooh!"

This movement made the crowd of onlookers who got off in the traffic jam to watch the excitement completely cheered up.

　Thanks to the youth of the town, HRMO, and the bright moon in the sky for the rewards!
