Cheng Hao always thought that Lin Yuxun was studying in school. After all, Lin Yuxun was only fifteen years old this year, which was the age for junior high school.
In addition, he had asked Lin Yuxun to study hard before, and Lin Yuxun had never refuted him. Even when he went to school for lunch in the morning, Lin Yuxun would go into the classroom after saying goodbye to him, and would wait for him at school at noon.
Of course, there were also some suspicious points about Lin Yuxun. He always came back a little late at night... But Cheng Hao had only known him for a few days, and he had a lot of things to consider in the past few days, so he didn't think much about it.
Cheng Hao was shocked, and Chester said, "When Tony's mother was still alive, he didn't come to school very often. After his mother passed away, he never went to school again."
Cheng Hao took a deep breath: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I thought you knew! By the way, what's so strange about this? I don't go to school anymore." Chester said.
Cheng Hao was not surprised at all that Chester had stopped going to school, as it was obvious that Chester did not like studying.
But Lin Yuxun is different. It can be seen that Lin Yuxun likes to study and he is a genius!
More importantly, Chester stopped going to school and just hung out, while Lin Yuxun...
Cheng Hao suddenly realized that Lin Yuxun must be trying to find a way to make money.
His mother passed away and probably left no inheritance. Lin Yuxun, who was only fourteen years old at the time, probably had no choice but to go out to work and earn money.
If he doesn't do this, how will he pay the rent, utilities, food, and groceries?
He's only fourteen years old...
"Do you know where he is?" Cheng Hao asked.
Chester pointed to a building not far away and said, "That building over there, see it? He's cleaning for someone in that building."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao carried Danny and walked over there.
Seeing this, Chester wanted to follow him. There was a boxing match tonight, and he wanted to go with Cheng Hao to watch it! But after running two steps, he thought of something and stopped.
He and his friends bullied Lin Yuxun not just for fun. In fact, they targeted Lin Yuxun because they knew that Lin Yuxun had money and could not resist them.
Before, every Monday, when Lin Yuxun got his salary, they would go and cause trouble for him, and basically they would get some money. Unfortunately, this week, as soon as they found Lin Yuxun, they were driven away by Cheng Hao.
Touching his nose, Chester ran back to his friends.
"That guy is so scary, why are you still talking to him?" The man who was punched in the stomach by Cheng Hao and vomited for a long time asked Chester.
The other person who was kicked in the vital part between the legs by Cheng Hao immediately put his legs together.
Although they like to fight, swear and do bad things, they only fight with people of their own age, or simply bully people who are younger than them. When facing someone as cruel as Cheng Hao, they become timid.
"I want to go see a boxing match!" said Chester.
These people also wanted to watch the boxing match, but they didn't dare to pester Cheng Hao: "Let's figure it out ourselves!"
Cheng Hao didn't know what these people were thinking. After he hurriedly left the school, he carried Danny and walked towards the building not far away.
When he approached the building, Cheng Hao was shocked.
He didn't expect that there was a red-light district so close to the school.
That's right, this is the red-light district. Under the building are shops that look different but have the same content. Some of these shops have ambiguous signs, and some don't even have signs, but the furnishings inside are surprisingly similar.
The doors of these stores are all glass sliding doors. Looking in from the outside, you can see that in each store there are some women in very revealing clothes lying on the sofa smoking or putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
It was afternoon and there were no customers here. They were all very lazy. When they saw Cheng Hao, a woman who came out to take out the trash even threw a coquettish glance at him.
Cheng Hao wasn't used to this kind of scene, nor did he feel honored by being flirted with. After all, most of these women were black, and the few white ones were older, which didn't fit his aesthetic standards.
Besides, he had never been to such a place before.
But he didn't look down on these people. When people can't afford to eat, dignity, health and many other things become meaningless.
But, Lin Yuxun...
Cheng Hao let Tony lean on his shoulder and gestured for him to close his eyes. After confirming that he did so, he walked towards the plump black woman who was winking at him and asked, "Ma'am, do you know where Tony is?"
"Tony?" the lady asked. "There are so many Tonys here. Who knows which one you're looking for?"
"He is Chinese like me, but a little younger than me," said Cheng Hao.
"You mean him? He's helping clean upstairs." The lady said, and smiled at Cheng Hao again: "Handsome boy, I've never slept with a Chinese person before! Do you want to come to my place? I won't charge you any money."
Cheng Hao was a little relieved that Tony couldn't hear what these people said: "...Sorry, I don't need it."
Cheng Hao thanked the woman for her help and left. Seeing this, the woman sighed in disappointment and returned to her room.
A black woman, who was trimming her nails, asked, "You seem to be in a good mood... who is that?"
The woman who had just taken out the trash said, "A very polite and charming little fellow."
Cheng Hao didn't know what they thought of him. He found a door in the corner of the building, walked in, and then saw the elevator.
At this time in China, most houses are five stories high and have no elevators, but here even the slums have elevators…
As Cheng Hao entered the elevator, he noticed an unpleasant smell, but he didn't care too much about it now... He pressed the button for the second floor.
When he reached the second floor, Cheng Hao finally understood what was going on in this building.
At the bottom of this building is where the women solicit customers. Once they attract a customer, they will take the person to the room upstairs and do something with him.
Lin Yuxun's job here should be to help clean during the day.
Most people who clean a building like this would work from the top down, but Cheng Hao would work from the bottom up.
At this time, there were not many people in the building, but there were still people. Cheng Hao noticed that the corridors on the second and third floors were dirty, but when he reached the fourth floor, the corridors became clean.
He walked through the long and narrow corridor and saw a hand-pushed garbage truck parked at the door of a large open room. He looked in from the outside and saw Lin Yuxun wearing a very loose blue work suit, rubber gloves, and kneeling on the ground with a rag to wipe the floor.
He was only fifteen years old and was already thin. Now wearing such large clothes, he looked even thinner.
Cheng Hao looked at him, but no sound came out of his throat.
Neither Cheng Hao nor Danny made any sound. Although there were not many people in the building, the sound insulation was poor and it was not quiet, so Lin Yuxun did not notice them and continued to work.
He wiped the floor very carefully and quickly. While wiping, he picked up the used condoms that were thrown on the ground and threw them into the trash can. He also used a small shovel to remove the dirt stuck on the floor in the corner. He looked very skilled when doing all this.
After wiping for a while, he took the rag to the bucket to wash it. At this time, he subconsciously looked up and saw Cheng Hao.
Their eyes met. Cheng Hao was fine, but Lin Yuxun was so panicked that his whole body was shaking.
The woman upstairs was screaming hysterically, and next door someone was receiving guests in broad daylight, making "dong dong dong dong" sounds and the sound of a man complaining about the quality of the bed.
In such a noisy environment, Lin Yuxun was like a frightened rabbit, looking as if he wanted to find a hole to hide in. He looked extremely pitiful.
As for Cheng Hao, his expression was particularly ugly.
He didn't expect that Lin Yuxun not only didn't go to school, but was doing such a job.
Lin Yuxun is a minor, so his salary must not be much. The money he earns with hard work not only has to support Danny, but now he has to support him too.
When Cheng Hao thought about what had happened before, he felt that he was such a scumbag.
She ate up all of Lin Yuxun's food, lived in Lin Yuxun's house, and made Lin Yuxun pay more rent. She even said that the bread and sausages Lin Yuxun bought were not nutritious enough, causing Lin Yuxun to buy lettuce and apples the next day...
All kinds of emotions were churning in his heart, and finally, he noticed Lin Yuxun's frightened and evasive look.
Cheng Hao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, put Danny down, looked at Lin Yuxun again, and smiled at him: "Do you have any gloves? I'll work with you."
