The bar was dim, and although no one was inside at the moment, the smell of cigarettes left over from years of use had already seeped into the walls and filled the entire room.

The smell was strange, obviously not something that an ordinary cigarette could leave behind... Cheng Hao felt that holding his breath was a bit unreliable - he couldn't hold his breath forever.

Once he settles down, can participate in regular boxing matches and gain a certain degree of fame, he will definitely not come to such a place again.

Although Cheng Hao thought so in his heart, he still urgently needed such a job at this time.

After entering the bar, Cheng Hao discovered that the interior of the bar was much larger than he had imagined, and someone was cleaning the bar at this moment.

They cleaned out all sorts of garbage, including vomit.

The black old man who brought him in found a chair and sat down, then looked at Cheng Hao: "Little guy, do you know the rules of boxing here?"

Cheng Hao said: "I don't know, I just know that I'm short of money."

"Well, most of the people who come here to fight are just like you," the black man said. "I can tell you about the rules here. My name is George. What's your name?"

Cheng Hao had guessed it before, and now it was finally confirmed - this black man was the bar owner, Old George.

Cheng Hao said: "My name is Cheng Hao, you can call me Cheng."

"Okay, then I'll call you Cheng from now on." Old George said, and then while smoking, he told Cheng Hao about the rules of boxing here.

In a formal boxing match, you need to be weighed before the match, and then compete with people of similar weight.

But in places like this, the rules are not so strict.

However, the boxing matches here are the same as regular matches. You are not allowed to attack the back of the opponent's head, throat, or crotch. After all, attacking such places can easily result in death. Although they like to make this kind of informal match a little bloody, they do not want anyone to die.

"Here, you may need to fight with someone who is heavier than you, not just a little heavier, but twenty kilograms heavier. I have a doctor here, but his skills are not good. If you are seriously injured, he may not be able to help you. Also, this is not a round-based system. You need to keep fighting with your opponent. You win only when you knock him down..." Old George said a lot.

Cheng Hao thought about it and felt that he could accept it: "How is the compensation calculated? You know I need money."

Old George said, "Everyone who comes to watch a boxing match here must place a bet! From the total amount bet on each boxing match, 4% will be taken as revenge for the winner, and 1% will be taken as compensation for the loser."

"What about the rest?" Cheng Hao asked.

Old George said, "Of the rest, 5% belongs to me, and 90% is distributed among those who win the bets."

Old George was smart to do this. At least his bar wouldn't lose money. Cheng Hao said, "I agree."

"How old are you?" Old George asked, "I need to register your information."

"Sixteen." Cheng Hao said.

"Very young." Old George glanced at Cheng Hao and asked a few more questions, such as where he lived. However, Cheng Hao couldn't answer them, and he didn't care.

He simply registered Cheng Hao's information and finally said, "I have competitions every Tuesday and Friday. You can come early and I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you." Cheng Hao said, and then asked, "What day is today?"

Old George said grumpily, "Tuesday! Are you coming tonight?"

Cheng Hao refused: "I'm afraid not today." He was injured, and it would be a life-threatening decision for him to participate in the competition today... Besides, he also needed time to adapt to his new body.

"Then wait until next time." said Old George.

"Okay." Cheng Hao agreed.

Cheng Hao and Old George made their agreement and left the bar.

And as soon as he walked out of the bar, he met Chester.

Seeing Cheng Hao, Chester immediately ran over: "How could you do this! You actually abandoned me!"

"I never agreed to take you in." Cheng Hao said.

Chester was a little angry and kept complaining. Cheng Hao finally couldn't help but waved his fist: "Do you want to taste my fist?"

Chester shrank his neck and ran away.

When Cheng Hao saw him leave, he walked towards where Lin Yuxun lived.

The rolling door was still broken, so he could try to pry it back open later... Cheng Hao took out the key and was about to open the door when he saw a ball-like black man running towards him.

He was not very good at distinguishing the appearance of black people and white people, and didn't know how to describe the appearance of the black man in front of him. One thing was certain, this black man was really fat!

"You little brat! Are you living with Tony now?" the fat black man asked loudly.

When Cheng Hao heard the voice, he knew who this person was - this was the landlord who appeared last night and this morning.

At that time, he only heard the landlord's voice, but now he can see the landlord's appearance clearly.

You can see that he is living a good life.

Cheng Hao said: "No, I'm his classmate. I came here to visit him for something, but a few black people broke down the door and I couldn't leave." The landlord had said before that the rent would be increased for one more person... He felt embarrassed to live here for free, and he couldn't let Lin Yuxun pay more rent.

Unfortunately, he was penniless and couldn't afford the rent. He even hoped to continue living here - if Lin Yuxun didn't let him stay, he would be left on the streets.

The fat landlord looked at Cheng Hao suspiciously and said, "You little bastard, are you telling the truth?"

"It's true! Sir, those black people were so abominable yesterday that they actually broke your door. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you fix the door!"

Cheng Hao's words diverted the landlord's attention. He cursed the black people who smashed the door, and of course did not forget to ask Cheng Hao for compensation: "If it weren't for you, those black people wouldn't come to smash my door, so you must fix the door!"

Cheng Hao agreed repeatedly.

The landlord left with satisfaction. Seeing him leave, Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door to enter the house.

Last night, Lin Yuxun's washed clothes were placed in the outer room to dry, while in the bedroom inside, Danny was playing with the pull ring of a can.

Cheng Hao took a look and found that one of the five sandwiches he brought back had been opened, but only half was eaten.

The child was deaf and mute and couldn't understand what he was saying, but Cheng Hao had nothing to do, so he simply sat next to him. Then he picked up the old newspaper where Lin Yuxun had written his name yesterday, tore it open, and used part of it to fold a paper airplane.

Danny didn't pay any attention to him at first, but then he stared at him without blinking.

The paper airplane was folded quickly. Cheng Hao glanced at Danny and threw the paper airplane forward.

The paper airplane just flew away.

Danny's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't move, his eyes fixed on the paper airplane.

Cheng Hao smiled, picked up the paper airplane, and threw it out again.

The paper airplane flew out for a while, then circled and landed on the ground.

Cheng Hao picked up the paper airplane again and put it in Danny's hand.

Danny stared at the paper airplane for a moment, then threw it forward.

He was not very good at throwing paper airplanes, so the airplane fell down quickly, but he was still very happy watching it. He got up from the bed, climbed down and picked up the paper airplane.

Cheng Hao was worried before whether the child would have other problems, but now he is much more relieved and has some guesses about the child's previous performance.

His mother passed away, and he was only accompanied by an older brother who was not that close to him... Maybe he was just trying to be well behaved.

Danny is a child, a child without toys and playmates.

He loved the paper airplane, which was very ordinary to others. He played with it in the bedroom for a while, but felt that the place was too small. He glanced at Cheng Hao and went to play in the bigger room outside.

Cheng Hao also followed him out.

He knew the child couldn't hear, but seeing that he was having fun, he still smiled and praised him: "Danny is awesome!"

"That was a good throw!"

“You’re amazing!”

…

Cheng Hao's parents died early in his previous life, and his family was very poor before their death. Therefore, after joining the provincial boxing team, he had psychological problems for a while and was a little overly inferior.

Later, the boxing team teacher took him to see a psychologist and praised him in various ways, and he slowly came out of it.

He also discovered that psychological suggestion was very important. For example, he kept telling himself that he would become the best boxer in the world, and later he really won the world championship.

During those years, he read some psychology books one after another. Although he did not study systematically, he at least knew one thing, that is, children need encouragement, love and affirmation.

Danny couldn't hear it, but he could see it.

He stood by, paying attention to Danny and applauding Danny, and Danny would definitely be very happy.

Cheng Hao was right.

At first, although Danny played, his movements were slow and he didn't smile. But when he sat by and watched, and smiled and clapped in encouragement, Danny's movements became faster and faster.

When he threw the paper airplane, he didn't just stand and throw it like he did at the beginning. He even started jumping up to throw it.

Seeing Danny like this, Cheng Hao clapped even harder and gave Danny a thumbs up: "You're awesome, Danny!"

After throwing the paper airplane, Danny went to look at Cheng Hao. Seeing Cheng Hao like this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled.

He is a mixed-race boy and is naturally very handsome. Perhaps because he always stays in the house and never goes out, his skin is very white and almost flawless. Now that he smiles, he looks very cute, like a little angel.

Cheng Hao stood up, gave him a hug, and gave him a thumbs up.

Danny was even happier and ran to pick up the paper airplane with a smile.

Cheng Hao stood by and kept encouraging them.

Danny was out of breath after running for a while. It was obvious that he lacked exercise. It would be good to give him more encouragement and let him run around the house!

"Danny, you are such a little angel!" Cheng Hao said. Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the rolling door shaking, and saw Lin Yuxun crawling out from under the rolling door.

After he entered the house, he thought about ventilating it, so he didn't close the door. Anyway, the door could only be raised less than one meter, so people outside couldn't see what was inside and his privacy would not be exposed.

Because of this, Lin Yuxun could get in directly without a key.

Lin Yuxun's clothes were a little dirty, and he looked very tired. At this moment, he stared at Cheng Hao with a blank look.

Cheng Hao smiled broadly at him and greeted him: "Lin Yuxun, you're back!"

"Yeah." Lin Yuxun said, his eyes red.

Every time he went home before, the house was quiet and there was no sound at all. But today, he heard Cheng Hao's voice before he even reached the door. When he came in, he saw Danny smiling so happily.

Lin Yuxun's heart beat faster and faster, and his eyes became more and more sore.

When his mother was still alive, there were noises in the house, but they were usually the sounds of his mother and her roommates quarreling, his mother beating and scolding Danny, or his mother crying when she was drunk.

There had never been such happy sounds in his home.

Lin Yuxun felt that his fatigue was swept away and he became more energetic.

Cheng Hao noticed that Lin Yuxun's eyes were red, and immediately walked over: "Did someone bully you? Are you okay?"

Danny was playing while paying attention to Cheng Hao. At this time, he also saw Lin Yuxun. He stopped playing with the paper airplane, ran to Lin Yuxun, pulled Lin Yuxun's clothes, and looked at Lin Yuxun worriedly.

Lin Yuxun said: "I'm fine... I'm just a little happy to see Danny smiling so happily."

"This kid is very smart." Cheng Hao said with a smile.

Lin Yuxun said "hmm".

Cheng Hao added, "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you a glass of water."

As he spoke, he stood up and went to pour some water.

"No, I can do it myself." Lin Yuxun quickly poured some water and asked Cheng Hao, "Do you want some water?"

"I've drunk it." Cheng Hao said.

It was quiet again for a while. Danny stopped playing with the paper airplane and looked at Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun worriedly.

Cheng Hao picked up the paper airplane and gave it to him: "Danny, keep playing."

Danny couldn't hear the sound, but he could understand the movements. He held the paper airplane, smiled at Cheng Hao, and threw it out again.

Cheng Hao continued to praise.

The atmosphere in the room was different again.

Lin Yuxun looked at Danny with some envy, feeling happy but also sad - no one had ever played with him before.

Cheng Hao noticed Lin Yuxun's expression. Lin Yuxun was about the same age as the kids he had taught before who had just joined the boxing team... Cheng Hao folded another paper airplane out of newspaper and handed it to Lin Yuxun: "Do you want to play?"

Lin Yuxun held the paper airplane and stared at Cheng Hao blankly.

"It's actually quite fun." Cheng Hao said shamelessly. Well, he actually didn't think paper airplanes were fun at all.

"Yeah." Lin Yuxun responded.

Playing with paper airplanes seemed childish, but even when he was a child, he never played with paper airplanes...

His father was busy working to make money every day and spoke less than ten sentences to him a month, so naturally he would not take him to play. As for his companions... after his mother left, he had to go home to prepare food and wash clothes, so he didn't have much time to play, and other children were unwilling to take him to play.

Lin Yuxun threw the paper plane out for some unknown reason. After throwing it out, he shuddered and realized what he had done. He quickly ran over to pick it up.

Then he held the paper airplane tightly in his hand.

He was not young anymore, so Cheng Hao didn't force him to play... He would praise Danny from time to time, and then fold a boat out of newspaper.

After folding it, he gave it to Lin Yuxun.

Lin Yuxun opened his hands, placed the boat in his palms, and held it solemnly.

Cheng Hao smiled and started folding something else. In his previous life, when he was in kindergarten, he had origami classes. He always folded things quickly and well, so the teacher taught him several more things.

His family was not rich at that time and there were not many things to play with, but he still had a lot of paper, so he folded it over and over again. When he saw any new folding method, he would take the initiative to learn it. In the end, he became the best paper folding skill in the class.

He hadn't folded anything for many years, but the memories of his childhood were particularly clear... Cheng Hao folded them one by one.

He can fold four different kinds of paper boats, and he can also fold paper cranes, flowers, turtles, and even a gold ingot.

When his mother passed away, he was keeping vigil with his relatives. Feeling quite lonely, he followed them and learned how to fold gold ingots. He even learned three different ways to fold gold ingots.

Cheng Hao tore the newspaper piece by piece, folded a lot of things, and finally folded a heart for Danny. After he folded more and more things, Danny stopped playing with paper airplanes and ran to the side to watch him fold paper.

Receiving the love, Danny smiled again.

Lin Yuxun held the paper airplane in one hand and the paper boat in the other. He glanced at Danny and then at Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao is completely different from them, and no one knows when he will leave...

Lin Yuxun felt as if his heart and lungs were being tightly gripped by someone. It was a little painful and he couldn't breathe.

At this time, Cheng Hao felt that the time was almost right: "Lin Yuxun, I have a somewhat presumptuous request..."

"What?" Lin Yuxun sat up straight, a little nervous.

"I don't have a place to live right now. Can I live here?" Cheng Hao asked. He was broke and didn't know anyone, so it would be great if he could live here.

Lin Yuxun almost jumped up. He nodded without thinking: "Of course!"
