章節 113: Chapter 116: Deserve a Beating
Carl suddenly stopped as he was about to leave the room.
"What's wrong?" Beth was right next to Carl.
"Have you opened the gift I gave you?" Carl asked Beth, a little nervous, but it didn't show on the surface.
"Not yet." Beth pointed to the dressing table, where the gift box had already been moved by Beth.
Beth smiled and said, "I have to take it apart in front of you, and then I have to show that I like it, that's the right thing to do."
"Uh...Maggie said that?" Carl was speechless.
"Who else could it be?" Beth smiled.
"Then let's open it now. I don't know if you will like it or not, but you don't have to pretend to like it. It's okay." Carl said to Beth.
"Okay, but I have a feeling I'm going to like it, no matter what it is." Beth smiled, walked over to the dressing table and picked up the gift box.
The box is pink and has a bow on it. It has some bear patterns on it. It was specially chosen by Karl to be the most girly gift box.
Beth untied the straps and took off the lid. She looked at the contents and couldn't help laughing.
"Karl, where did you find it?"
Carl walked forward and found a light blue and white rectangle inside the box. It was not too big, less than ten centimeters long and two centimeters wide. It had a display screen, a few simple buttons, and a headset.
That's right, it's an MP3, not the jewelry that Carl originally wanted to prepare.
Carl found this in another supermarket after leaving the jewelry store that day.
It took a long time to search, because Carl was looking for one that could replace the battery, otherwise it would be meaningless.
As for why Carl originally planned to give jewelry, he regretted it. The main reason was that there were not many gifts to be found in the apocalypse, but the jewelry was indeed too ordinary.
Carl said,
"I remember that you seemed to like music. I wonder if you like this gift. This memory card has more than 200 songs. You can listen to them first. I will help you find other memory cards when I have the chance."
"I like it very much, Carl. The gift you prepared was beyond my expectation. I was still thinking about how to pretend to be surprised. Now I don't need any disguise at all, because I am really surprised and I like it very much."
Beth picked up the MP3 and quickly found the switch. The rectangular screen lit up in black and white, with only the song title and singer's name.
"Beth, why don't you wait till night to study it slowly? It will be dark if we don't set out now."
Whenever Carl looked at Beth's smile, he couldn't help but smile too.
"Of course, Carl, thank you." Beth put the MP3 back into the box and hugged Carl tightly. "I really like it."
"You...as long as you like it." Carl was also very happy.
"Well, let's go." Beth took Carl's hand and walked out of the room.
Carl may look a little unnatural, but overall it doesn't look like a big problem.
Beth relaxed as she went downstairs and went down to the first floor where Maggie and Patricia were busy in the kitchen, doing more preparation for tonight's dinner.
Maggie noticed Carl and Beth coming downstairs, wiped herself and came out, "Carl, Sean came to see you this afternoon."
"Looking for me?" How could Karl not know this himself?
"Well, he came to see what you were doing and asked if you wanted to come back for dinner tonight. I told him you would stay at my house for dinner. You wouldn't mind, right? After all, Beth said you would stay."
Maggie teased as she wiped her hands with a towel.
"Of course not. On the contrary, I'm very grateful." Carl bowed slightly.
"What are you going to do? It's getting dark." Maggie asked.
"Let's build a snowman. Do you want to join us? Sister, aren't you excited for a white Christmas? This, this has been going on for many years?" Beth said, looking at Carl.
Carl said helplessly, "This is the first white Christmas in Georgia in 128 years."
Maggie hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, I'm still busy, you guys go, Karl will accompany you."
"Well, maybe I should call Glenn over to help you," Carl said.
"Damn it, Carl, how dare you tease me." Maggie laughed.
"Forget it, Carl, let's go."
Beth couldn't wait or what, she dragged Carl out of the hall, and then...
Then it was a bit awkward.
I ran into Jimmy who was walking towards me.
Beth was stunned and didn't know what to say. Jimmy also stood there blankly, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Carl, he hesitated.
Carl raised his eyebrows slightly. This situation was really embarrassing, but he would have to face it sooner or later, and Carl had already been mentally prepared.
Carl took a step forward. At this time, Carl was still holding Beth's hand. Beth might have wanted to let go just now, but Carl held it tightly again.
Carl looked at me and said, "Hi, Jimmy."
Jimmy's eyelids twitched, "Boy, do you think I'll be okay?"
"Hey, Jimmy, you don't have to talk to Carl like that," Beth said.
Carl deliberately raised the hand that he was holding Beth's hand, "I'm fine now, um, Jimmy, remember to keep your distance from Beth in the future."
"Bang!"
With one punch, Jimmy hit Carl hard in the face, and Beth's hand was released. Carl's body fell backwards and fell on the snow.
"Jimmy! What are you doing! Are you crazy?" Beth yelled at Jimmy, then immediately squatted beside Carl and tried to help him up. "Carl, what's wrong with you?"
Karl smiled and gently touched the place on his left cheek where he was hit. It hurt.
"Carl, are you okay? Get up quickly." Beth tried to help Carl up, but Carl didn't cooperate at all.
"I'm fine, I think I need to lie down for a while and calm down." Carl stopped Beth from trying to hold his hand.
Carl felt like he was asking for a fight. Well, it seemed like Carl did it on purpose, but also seemed like it was subconscious.
Jimmy was not very old and was still young and energetic. No matter how much he loved Beth, he could hardly resist being provoked by himself.
Carl was prepared when he said the first sentence, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. Later, Carl had prepared more stimulating words.
However, being so impulsive and irritable just shows that Jimmy is just an ordinary young man. If he can endure it, Carl will be more alert.
Jimmy was stunned after punching Carl. Jimmy himself didn't know why he gave Carl such a ruthless and heavy punch.
"Carl, don't lie on the snow. You will catch a cold. Get up quickly." Beth urged anxiously.
Carl nodded and held out his hand to Beth, clearly meaning to pull me up.
Beth did not hesitate, she pulled Carl and supported Carl's body with her other hand, helping Carl to stand up again.
"Get out of here Jimmy! Get out of our sight!" Beth's voice was full of anger.
"No." Carl held Beth and looked at Jimmy.
He smiled, looking as annoying as ever.
