Cheng Hao is now quite famous, so George arranged many competitions for him.

Some of these are formal competitions, but some are underground boxing.

Most of the time, Cheng Hao competed with people older than him.

He is already very strong now, but there are always people who are stronger than him, so in such competitions, although he can win most of the time, he will lose occasionally.

But Cheng Hao didn't care. In his two lifetimes, he had lost countless times in boxing. If he couldn't even bear this, he should just give up fighting...

Cheng Hao can get some money from such competitions, but he is not a professional boxer yet, so the money he gets is not much.

Some boxers would be eager to become professional boxers for this reason, but Old George and Cheng Hao both felt that they should wait until the time is right before becoming professional boxers.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and several months had passed. Before I knew it, it was already September of 1981.

The weather is getting colder again, and Lin Yuxun's birthday is coming.

Last September, the three of them were still very poor, and Cheng Hao didn’t know when Lin Yuxun’s birthday was, so he didn’t celebrate Lin Yuxun’s birthday. But this year is different.

This year, after celebrating his own birthday, Cheng Hao specifically asked about Lin Yuxun and Danny’s birthdays, intending to give them a good birthday celebration as well.

Lin Yuxun's birthday is in September and Danny's birthday is in October. The two brothers' birthdays are only one month apart.

During Lin Yuxun's birthday, Cheng Hao specially asked Old George to be free, planning to take Danny to see Lin Yuxun and find a hospital to check Danny's ears.

Danny is a very cute child, and Cheng Hao hopes he can hear the sound if possible.

Lin Yuxun's birthday is September 9th. On September 6th, Cheng Hao took Danny and booked a room in a hotel near Lin Yuxun's school.

After checking in and putting down their luggage, Cheng Hao took Danny to look for Lin Yuxun.

In the past few months, Cheng Hao has not come to see Lin Yuxun, but the contact between the two is very close. Lin Yuxun writes at least two letters to Cheng Hao every week and also calls him.

As for Cheng Hao, he would reply to every letter.

Lin Yuxun cares about him very much, and he enjoys Lin Yuxun's care.

Sometimes, this kind of care is the motivation for him to persevere.

It was already very late when Cheng Hao arrived at the apartment where Lin Yuxun and Shi Wenzhen lived. He knocked on the door and it was Shi Wenzhen who opened it.

"Mr. Shi!" Cheng Hao greeted Shi Wenzheng with a smile.

When Shi Wenzheng saw Cheng Hao, she was stunned.

Cheng Hao’s change... is quite big.

A year has passed since Cheng Hao first met Shi Wenzheng.

A year ago, although Cheng Hao had started boxing training, he had not been training for long and had not built much muscle, so he looked like a teenager. Now, Cheng Hao looks like a complete adult.

Not only does he look much more mature, but he also has a strong body and looks particularly powerful.

Shi Wenzhen is a little over 1.7 meters tall, which was not considered short when he was in China. However, he suffered a great blow after going abroad, and now... he was hit again.

Shi Wenzheng couldn't help but ask, "Cheng Hao, how tall are you?"

Cheng Hao said, "I'm 185cm barefoot... I'm a little too tall. Boxers don't need to be too tall... But I probably won't grow any taller."

He hasn't grown any taller this year, he just went from 184cm to 185cm, and he probably won't grow any taller in the future.

That's good.

You know, many boxing champions are only about 1.7 meters tall, and tall people don't have an advantage in the boxing world.

"You are so tall... and strong." Shi Wenzheng said.

Cheng Hao smiled and said, "I've been exercising."

He is indeed very strong physically.

After leaving Gibbs, he trained less and ate more, which is why he gained muscle.

Cheng Hao has now gained five kilograms and weighs 82 kilograms.

Now he doesn't look thin at all!

"I've seen your competition, you're really good." Shi Wenzheng looked at Cheng Hao with admiration.

He is very good at research and has great confidence in himself, but when it comes to sports... Cheng Hao is still better.

Shi Wenzheng let Cheng Hao into the house and poured him a glass of water.

Cheng Hao took it with both hands: "Thank you, Mr. Shi... Mr. Shi, where is Yu Xun?"

"He went to help out in Professor Chapman's lab," Shi Wenzheng said. "He's only a freshman and had no foundation, but he impressed Professor Chapman. Professor Chapman asked him to help out in the lab when he didn't have classes... He's a genius."

Shi Wenzheng really admires Lin Yuxun.

He had worked hard enough, but when he saw Lin Yuxun, he felt that he had not worked hard enough.

It’s okay for him to just work hard, Lin Yuxun is also a genius!

When he first came, although he had taught himself high school courses, his learning was not solid and he did not know much beyond the textbooks. But now, his level of knowledge is exactly the same as those freshmen who came from good private schools.

In addition, Lin Yuxun had some problems with his temperament and conversation at the beginning, but now, those problems have all disappeared.

Perhaps the only thing that he is inferior to others now is that he has no artistic attainments.

The students in this university basically come from well-off families. Many of them know a little about art, and even if they don’t, they can appreciate it. At the very least, they can play sports like rugby.

But Lin Yuxun doesn't know anything, not even the rules of football.

But what does it matter?

He is smart enough, so some people are optimistic about him and are willing to make friends with him.

Once he gained Professor Chapman's attention and entered Professor Chapman's laboratory, no one looked down on him anymore.

Not to mention, Lin Yuxun himself is also very easy to get along with.

If Shi Wenzheng hadn't witnessed his growth with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that he came from the slums.

However, perhaps it is precisely because he came from the slums that he works so hard.

If Lin Yuxun wants to change his destiny, he has to work harder than others.

Similarly, if their country wants to compete with other countries, it must also strive to catch up.

Cheng Hao asked Shi Wenzheng and found out that Lin Yuxun was actually valued by a professor. He was very happy.

He had saved some money recently and wanted to give it to Lin Yuxun, but Lin Yuxun refused to accept it. He was worried that Lin Yuxun was not living a good life. Now that he knew that Lin Yuxun was living a good life, he was happy.

Cheng Hao chatted with Shi Wenzheng and then let Shi Wenzheng study on her own.

He took Danny to stay in the outer room, teaching Danny words while waiting for Lin Yuxun.

Danny knew more and more words. At this time, he could understand the meaning of some more abstract words. Cheng Hao then began to write some simple sentences for him to recognize.

Danny took it very seriously.

They studied until after ten o'clock in the evening, when the door of the apartment was opened and Lin Yuxun walked in with a tired look on his face.

Lin Yuxun was indeed very tired.

He had to take care of his studies while helping out in the laboratory.

Moreover, he had made a promise in order to get Professor Chapman to stay, so now he must study harder.

Of course, although he was tired, he was actually very happy. He learned a lot and found that he could control his own life.

Today, he stayed in the laboratory until ten o'clock again, planning to come back to wash up and have a good sleep. But when he opened the door, he saw Cheng Hao and Danny.

"Cheng Hao?" Lin Yuxun was a little confused and even suspected that he had seen it wrong.

Is the person in front of him really Cheng Hao? Is he dreaming?

"Yuxun." Cheng Hao saw Lin Yuxun and greeted him with a smile.

Shi Wenzheng wanted to sleep at night, and it was not appropriate to disturb him all the time, so Cheng Hao took Lin Yuxun to a nearby hotel.

In the next few days, he planned to stay in the hotel with Lin Yuxun.

Along the way, Cheng Hao said that he was here to celebrate Lin Yuxun's birthday, and then said, "I have some money now, and I want to go to the hospital to check Danny's ears."

"Can you see?" Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao in surprise: "Danny couldn't hear when he was born..."

Lin Yuxun had never thought about treating Danny's ears before. He always thought that people like Danny who were born deaf could not be cured.

"He can see. Even if he can't see well now, he will definitely be able to see well in the future." Cheng Hao said with certainty. When he donated money in his previous life, he had donated money to install cochlear implants for deaf and mute children. However, he didn't know whether cochlear implants were available now and whether Danny was suitable for one.

"Then let's go and see it tomorrow." Lin Yuxun said immediately.

"Don't worry, go when you are free."

"I'm free during the day tomorrow and will go to Professor Chapman in the evening." Lin Yuxun said.

After this was agreed upon, the three of them went to bed early and went to the hospital together the next day.

Cheng Hao has already bought medical insurance for Danny. This time, with the insurance in hand, he is not afraid or anxious at all when going to see a doctor.

However, the doctor in the hospital examined Danny and told Cheng Hao that Danny's congenital deafness could not be cured.

Cheng Hao couldn't help but ask, "I heard there's a way to put an electronic device in the ear so people can hear sounds?"

“You mean the cochlear implant?” the doctor asked.

"Yes!" Cheng Hao was a little surprised: "Can you pretend?"

"I've read papers about cochlear implants, but our hospital doesn't have the technology right now." The doctor specialized in otolaryngology and was well-versed in the technological developments in that area. He knew a little about cochlear implants, so he told Cheng Hao about it.

Thirty years ago, someone first tried to use electrode tubes to help deaf patients hear sounds. In 1982, nine years ago, someone in the United States produced the first single-channel cochlear implant. However, to date, only a few hundred people have had cochlear implants.

Not only are few people going to have this surgery, but the price of a cochlear implant is also extremely expensive.

Nowadays, few deaf people would undergo this operation.
