Cheng Hao didn't know that Cheng Jinhao's father, with whom he had lost contact, had returned to Hong Kong.
All he knew was that Tuesday would come and he would have another game.
After helping Lin Yuxun finish his work that afternoon, Cheng Hao didn't go to exercise. He told Lin Yuxun, "I have to work the night shift today. I won't be out until six o'clock, so I might be back a little late."
"About what time will you be back?" Lin Yu asked.
"Maybe after ten o'clock." Cheng Hao said, "I already said I don't want to work the night shift, but my boss asked me to work the night shift on Tuesday and Friday, from seven to ten o'clock every night, maybe even later."
Cheng Hao looked sincere when he spoke, and Lin Yuxun had no doubts at all.
A few days ago, Cheng Hao went out to work and was always sweating when he came back. He was also curious, but because Cheng Hao was in good spirits and had no injuries on his body, and he said that he ran when he came and went, he didn't think much about it.
Now that someone wants to switch night shifts with Cheng Hao, it makes sense... 7pm to 10pm is the busiest time in the bar.
After Cheng Hao talked to Lin Yuxun, he didn't go to exercise that afternoon and just stayed at home to play with Danny.
Before the game, you must take a break and adjust your condition.
While Cheng Hao was playing with Danny, Lin Yuxun was reading books next to him, books he had borrowed from his teacher.
Cheng Hao asked: "Can you understand all these books?"
Lin Yuxun said: "Not really, there are some things I don't understand."
"Which ones?" Cheng Hao saw that Lin Yuxun was not reading the math book, so he leaned over to take a look.
It turned out to be a physics book.
Cheng Hao stepped back silently.
Practicing sports takes time, a lot of time, so students with sports expertise in key high schools generally have poor grades.
He majored in physical education, so his grades are even better.
The coach never forced them to achieve good results.
But... isn't math in American elementary and middle schools supposed to be incredibly easy? How can it be this hard?
If Lin Yuxun knew what Cheng Hao was thinking, he would tell Cheng Hao that he was not reading primary and secondary school textbooks, but another book.
His teacher was a black man who was interested in mathematics and physics, and was admitted to a good university.
Unfortunately, his teacher got into a fight and injured someone at school, and was ultimately unable to complete his university studies. He could only work as a teacher in a school here.
At the beginning, this teacher wanted to educate everyone in this school well, but faced with a group of students who didn't study at all and had a terrible foundation, no one listened even if he wanted to teach. Later, he just went with the flow and ignored the students.
Even Lin Yuxun, who had excellent grades, had no friendship with him, but Lin Yuxun had always seen him reading books before and remembered it, so he went to borrow a book yesterday, and the teacher actually lent it to him.
Cheng Hao rested for the whole afternoon, had a hearty meal, and then ran to Old George's bar.
Old George's bar is still the same, but more people know Cheng Hao... As the only yellow person here, his appearance is really easy to remember.
Cheng Hao came here at about the same time today as last time, and then he found that none of the boxers who had been waiting here early last time came today.
Old George, on the other hand, was eating a hamburger and drinking Coke again.
"Who am I competing against today?" Cheng Hao asked.
Old George said: "It's not confirmed yet... People don't want to watch your game right now."
"Why?" Cheng Hao asked.
"Because you made them lose," said Old George.
Cheng Hao: “…”
Old George said that they had to wait for other boxers to arrive before deciding who Cheng Hao would fight, so Cheng Hao waited in the lounge.
He had been training with all his might these past few days, and the results were quite good, but the time was too short. If only Old George had arranged a stronger opponent for him...
He will definitely win! He is the most powerful boxer! Cheng Hao told himself this and began to adjust his state. By the time he was done, he was full of confidence and even began to look forward to his opponent.
It was at this time that the boxers arrived one after another.
The third person to come was Gerald, who was defeated by Cheng Hao last time.
As soon as Jellal saw Cheng Hao, he rushed over and said, "Shit! If I hadn't been careless last time, I would never have lost to you! Today I want to fight you again!"
"Come on!" Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at Gerald.
Cheng Hao looked fearless.
He looked like this last time, which angered Jellal and made him start the game in a very uncalm state.
This time...Jellal got angry again.
But he did not lose his mind. Instead, he looked at Cheng Hao with hatred: "I will tell Old George that the first game will be ours."
"Okay." Cheng Hao said.
Gerald glanced at Cheng Hao and turned to leave.
Old George agreed to Gerald's request, so at eight o'clock in the evening, Cheng Hao and Gerald were introduced again and waited to go on stage.
At this time, all the boxers who will participate in the competition tonight have arrived, even those who will not be competing on stage today have come.
The strongest boxer among these people is the one who was the first to mock Gerald last time. His name is Carpenter and he is an amateur boxer.
Moreover, he is also a very strong amateur boxer and has won many awards. If he had not started boxing at an older age, he would have become a professional boxer long ago.
However, although Carpenter is not a professional boxer, his strength is actually better than some of the weaker professional boxers. Among Old George, he is the strongest, and he rarely goes on the stage.
For example, today, he will not go on stage.
But the last time he came to power, he was an opponent of Mad Bull and was ultimately defeated by him.
"Carpenter, who do you think will win?" asked a boxer next to Carpenter.
"Jellal," Carpenter said.
"Why? It was clearly that little guy who won last time...that little guy's skin color is really rare." said the boxer.
Carpenter said, "Jellard lost last time because he was too careless, but he won't be careless this time."
"That's all?"
"Of course it's not just that. The most important thing is that although this little guy has learned boxing and has acquired very good skills, he obviously hasn't had much training. Such a person cannot beat Gerald who wants to fight him to the death." Carpenter said.
"Fight to the death?" The man was stunned.
Carpenter sneered. "Jellard is desperate. He borrowed money from Blake. If he can't pay it back, Blake will break his legs."
"Then even if he wins the fight, it's useless..." the boxer said. Carpenter, a veteran of many prestigious boxing competitions, boxed with Old George, who would pay him an appearance fee in addition to a share of the bets. He could earn several thousand dollars per fight, but Gerard had already fallen on hard times.
Even if he won, he wouldn't have much money, and he certainly wouldn't be able to pay off Blake's bills - if he had only borrowed a few dozen dollars, Blake would never have threatened to break his legs.
"At least I can vent my anger... Just watch, that little guy is going to be in trouble." Carpenter said.
There are many people who think like Carpenter.
Although Cheng Hao won last time, others always thought that his victory was due to luck and because Gerald was careless.
After all, he looked too harmless, and the last match ended too quickly.
So at this moment, although more people bet on Cheng Hao to win than last time, most people still bet on Jellal to win, and some even encouraged Jellal: "Jellal, blow his head off!"
"Jellal, don't be a coward, beat him to death!"
"Jellal, come on!"
…
Although there were a few people cheering for Cheng Hao, they were quickly drowned out by other voices, and some people simply ignored the game.
Last time, before the game, Gerald was still scolding Cheng Hao, but this time he didn't say anything. He jumped a few times on the spot and stared at Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao also jumped a few times on the spot to warm up and relax his muscles.
Then he got into the zone.
His soul seemed to be detached from his body, and he was fearless... He took the lead in launching the attack.
Last time Cheng Hao hit the target with one strike, but this time he failed and was instead met with a violent attack from Gerald.
The red bloodshot in Gerald's eyes burst, he looked at Cheng Hao hatefully and kept attacking Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao began to dodge and tried not to fight Jellal head-on. After all, he had only been training for a short time and his lower body was unstable, so he was not suitable to fight Jellal.
The audience began to boo.
"This yellow monkey is going to lose!"
"I knew he couldn't beat Jellal."
"He's Asian? Which country is he from? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"I heard he's Chinese?"
"That pigtail country?"
"What Chinese? What pigtails?"
…
At this time, there were still many people in the United States who did not even know the existence of China, and those who knew about it only had an impression of China that was stuck in the Qing Dynasty.
Cheng Hao couldn't hear these words during the game, nor would he listen.
All his attention now was on Gerard.
Gerard's eyes were filled with hatred and his attacks became more ferocious, but Cheng Hao could clearly feel that his breathing had quickened.
Boxing matches may seem simple, but they are actually very tiring, so regular matches only have rounds of two or three minutes, with a one-minute break after each round.
Now, Cheng Hao dodged carefully and attacked occasionally, and had already dragged out four minutes.
Gerald couldn't stand it.
At this moment, Cheng Hao punched him in the stomach.
Gerald dodged, but then Cheng Hao jab with his other hand hit him in the face.
Jellal's face was immediately knocked to one side... He raised his fist to protect his face, and then Cheng Hao punched him in the stomach.
Cheng Hao's fist power is not very strong now. If it was Carpenter, being hit by Cheng Hao's punch would be no big deal at all, but Gerard's health is very poor and he has long been at the end of his strength.
He was knocked down again and could never get up again.
The audience outside fell silent again.
Before, Gerard had always had the upper hand. Those who bet on Gerard to win were happy, while those who bet on Cheng Hao to win were depressed. Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around.
Jellal actually lost...
"Jellal you piece of shit!"
"Damn it, Jellal!"
"You can't even beat a yellow man, Jellal, go to hell!"
…
Gerald was lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face. Cheng Hao noticed his condition, came out of his own state, walked towards him and wanted to pull him up.
He was used to friendship coming first and competition coming second, and although Gerard was very irritable, he didn't have much hatred against Gerard, and this fight was just for a few dozen dollars.
However, when Cheng Hao stretched out his hand in front of Gerard, Gerard slapped Cheng Hao's hand away.
Not only that, Gerald suddenly looked at a boxer outside the arena and said, "Dace! Help me! Help me defeat him! You must help me!"
Cheng Hao was stunned.
The boxer named Dai Si raised his eyebrows slightly.
Gerald shouted again, "Today, knock him down! Dais, I helped you before, you should still remember!"
The boxer named Dai Si looked at Cheng Hao and said, "Boy, I want to fight you."
"Sorry, I won't fight." Cheng Hao said. Boxing matches consume a lot of physical energy. He just finished one match, and now he has to fight a second match with someone he has never fought with before... Isn't this just being too hard on himself?
"Are you scared? Of course, the Chinese are the most hopeless, all cowards." Dai Si said, "People from your country are like dogs. Even if you beat them, they'll stick around... I don't know why our country still wants to establish diplomatic relations with yours."
The words Dai Si said were extremely insulting, and the way he looked at Cheng Hao was full of disdain.
Cheng Hao is not an impulsive person, and he has long known that racial discrimination is very common here.
He even heard people calling him a yellow monkey or something like that several times.
But the person in front of him not only cursed him, but also cursed his country.
Cheng Hao's expression turned very ugly: "I agree to compete with you."
"I'll make you kneel down and beg me." Dai Si said.
"It's still unclear who will kneel down," Cheng Hao said, looking at the bartender nearby. "Give me a few burgers! I'll debit it from my account later! I haven't had dinner yet!"
After saying that, Cheng Hao looked at Dai Si again and said, "When I'm full, I'll beat you to the ground and make you scream for your mother!"
