Cheng Hao talked with Lin Yuxun for a long time, and finally Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun slept on Danny's left and right.
Cheng Hao couldn't sleep that night.
Lin Yuxun actually liked him. He didn't start to analyze this matter seriously until he lay quietly in bed.
After analysis, he still felt that Lin Yuxun might have mistaken gratitude towards him for love.
Boys aged sixteen or seventeen probably don’t understand their own feelings at all.
Cheng Hao had a lot of things on his mind, but he didn't move. After lying there for a long time, he felt Lin Yuxun beside him turn over.
He was not the only one who didn't fall asleep, Lin Yuxun was obviously there too.
Moreover, Lin Yuxun probably thought he had fallen asleep, and he tossed and turned more and more...
Cheng Hao sighed secretly and did not move.
After lying down for a few hours, it was morning. Cheng Hao pretended to wake up and got up from the bed. At this time, Lin Yuxun, who had been tossing and turning on the other side of the bed, was motionless, as if he was fast asleep.
Cheng Hao got up early in the morning and went downstairs to train.
He trained for a while before Mrs. Norma got up to make breakfast. At this time, Lin Yuxun came down and entered the kitchen.
The voices of Mrs. Norma and Lin Yuxun talking and the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and Cheng Hao couldn't concentrate on training.
The breakfast that day was particularly rich.
After breakfast, Lin Yuxun took a book just like yesterday and sat down to read not far from where Cheng Hao was training. Whenever he saw Cheng Hao stop training, he would immediately run over to pour water for Cheng Hao or hand him a towel.
He had obviously never seen Cheng Hao train many times before, but whether he was pouring water or handing out towels, he did it at the right time.
"You don't have to do this." Cheng Hao said.
"I just want to do something for you." Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao. He hadn't slept all night, but he didn't look haggard. Instead, he looked energetic.
Lin Yuxun was thinking about himself and Cheng Hao last night.
He had originally planned to give up, but Cheng Hao's attitude... was really different.
He has already let Cheng Hao know his feelings, and Cheng Hao does not object. In the future, can he express his feelings?
He desperately wanted to do something for Cheng Hao.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxun asked again: "Cheng Hao, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I can eat anything, you don't have to cook." Cheng Hao said.
However, despite what Cheng Hao said, at noon that day, there were still a few Chinese dishes on the table that were obviously made by Lin Yuxun.
Cheng Hao sighed inwardly.
Cheng Hao didn't want to change his attitude towards Lin Yuxun because of the confession, but after all, something was different... The next day, he found Arabella and privately told her to prepare a room for Lin Yuxun: "Arabella, you know, Danny and Tony are both very clingy to me, but I can't let them go on like this... They need to be independent."
"I'll arrange a room," said Arabella.
Cheng Hao added, "Just say you arranged it, okay? If they knew I wanted them to live apart from me, I'm afraid they'd think I despise them... Of course, you know, I don't have that in mind."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it... tomorrow." Arabella smiled at Cheng Hao and blinked.
She saw how close Lin Yuxun and Danny were to Cheng Hao, and naturally knew that the two of them must not want to live separately from Cheng Hao, but Cheng Hao was not young anymore, and it was not convenient for them to live together all the time... Who knows, one day, Cheng Hao might bring his girlfriend back!
Cheng Hao and Arabella agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't mentioned this before, mainly because he felt that both Danny and Lin Yuxun lacked a sense of security... But now that he knew Lin Yuxun's sexual orientation, it would be difficult to continue like this.
It's not that he dislikes Lin Yuxun, he just doesn't want Lin Yuxun to misunderstand. As for Danny... he is ten years old and it is indeed time for him to sleep alone.
What's more, after what happened with Lin Yuxun, he was also worried that Danny would end up making the same mistake in feelings as Lin Yuxun because he was too close to him.
Arabella is definitely a person who does what she says. After old George got her car back that broke down on the road, she suggested that the whole family go shopping the next day.
Arabella's car wouldn't start because the motor was broken. After replacing the motor, it drove well. So the next day, they drove two cars and went shopping together. Even Mrs. Norma, who usually didn't like to go out, went out.
It was cold, but there were still a lot of people on the streets and even more people in the shopping malls.
They entered the mall and started shopping.
As they were shopping, Arabella said to Lin Yuxun, "Tony, we were so busy before that we didn't prepare a room for you... Now that you're here, let's go pick out a bed for you! Oh, and Danny, Danny is a big boy now, he can sleep in his own room too!"
Lin Yuxun was stunned and subconsciously looked at Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao smiled and looked at Lin Yuxun: "Yuxun, do you want to live in the same room with Danny, or separate?"
Lin Yuxun said: "Danny and I can share a room. I don't live here all the time, so there's no need to reserve a room for me."
Arabella agreed.
Lin Yuxun said that he could live in the same room with Danny, but it would be inconvenient to sleep on the same bed...Arabella took them to buy two 1.2-meter iron beds.
This bed is not assembled yet, and no one will come to install it... The labor cost here is very expensive, so most people will buy the frame themselves and assemble it at home.
In order to make it easier for people who drive to buy things to take the beds away, the merchant packed all the iron bars needed for a bed in a small cardboard box that can be put into the trunk of a car.
Cheng Hao assembled these two beds after returning home.
Then, Lin Yuxun and Danny moved out of his room.
Lin Yuxun said nothing, but Danny was reluctant to leave. Cheng Hao had to coax him for a long time, writing on his notebook while talking: "Danny, you should have read the picture book. A big boy like you should sleep alone."
"Danny is the best. He can definitely be more independent, right?"
"Don't worry, at the beginning, your brother or I will accompany you and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
…
After being coaxed, Danny left contentedly.
He wasn't actually afraid of sleeping alone. When he lived with Lin Yuxun, he always stayed home alone and fell asleep while staying there...
But now that there is someone to accompany him and comfort him, he will ask for a little more.
Lin Yuxun stood by and saw Cheng Hao being so intimate with Danny, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
He is too old to enjoy such treatment.
If Cheng Hao could treat him like this, he would really be willing to do anything.
The Christmas holiday is neither short nor long, about twenty days.
During these twenty days, Lin Yuxun has been taking care of Cheng Hao wholeheartedly. Cheng Hao's life can be said to be very comfortable, but he also feels very uncomfortable.
Twenty days later, when Lin Yuxun told him that Professor Chapman's laboratory had opened and asked him to go there early, Cheng Hao felt relieved.
After Lin Yuxun left, Cheng Hao immediately told old George that he wanted to play more games.
Old George agreed. Not only that, he also bought a camera and planned to record all the games that Cheng Hao would participate in next.
Cameras are not cheap. When Cheng Hao saw Old George bringing back this big thing, he was stunned: "Old George, do you need it?"
"It's definitely worth it. Don't worry, you won't lose money!" Old George said, "I'll record all your games and sell them later."
"Is it possible?" Cheng Hao was stunned.
"Of course!" said Old George. "Keep working hard! You have to participate in the Golden Gloves Championship this year. Once you win, your game video will sell for a lot of money!"
So that's how it is... This is the first time Cheng Hao knows about this kind of thing.
After Cheng Hao won the U.S. Youth Boxing Championship, he became famous in this city.
But he wasn't famous enough.
Old George's plan was to make himself more famous, win the Golden Gloves championship, and then sign a contract to become a professional boxer.
In fact, if he could win an Olympic championship and then become a professional boxer, the signing bonus he would get would be higher. However, it was now 1982, and the next Olympics would be in 1984, so he would have to wait two years.
After discussing with Old George, Cheng Hao finally decided not to wait for two years and become a professional boxer as soon as possible.
For Old George, Cheng Hao's choice would allow him to make money for him sooner, but for Cheng Hao... he was now an American citizen, and participating in the Olympics was to win glory for the United States... In that case, what was the point of participating?
He might as well just go play professional games!
Old George quickly helped Cheng Hao finalize several games.
Those matches were all black boxing matches, and the appearance fees were about the same as before. After Cheng Hao fought a few matches, it was already February.
At this moment, Old George suddenly said to Cheng Hao with some surprise: "Cheng, do you remember the place you visited before, where Mad Bull and Bart fought?"
"I remember," Cheng Hao said. The entertainment venue was quite large, and the area for boxing matches was also large, but he had never been there during these days because he was participating in competitions.
"Most of the people competing there are professional boxers of good skill. You weren't eligible before, but they recently invited me to compete." Old George said, "This is a great opportunity. If you perform well, many people will like you."
"Who is my opponent?" Cheng Hao asked.
Old George said, "Jim Hobart."
Over the past year or so, while Cheng Hao was learning boxing from Old George, he also got to know many boxers of that time whose names did not survive decades later. Jim Hobart was one of them.
He was a very good boxer ten years ago. He won the lightweight championship in professional boxing and got the gold belt, but he only won it once.
Not only that, news about him has become less and less common in the past two years.
This is a very normal thing.
Although there are boxers who can maintain their peak form into their forties, the vast majority of boxers begin to decline in their thirties.
"Why would he be willing to compete with me?" Cheng Hao asked. Some veteran boxers are not willing to compete with emerging boxers, because those new boxers compete with them just to defeat them!
"He needs money." Old George said, "You must save money in the future and invest in something, otherwise you will have nothing when you are old."
"I'll remember that, Old George." Cheng Hao smiled and agreed.
A few days later.
Lin Yuxun came out of the classroom that day and was stopped by Galton again: "Tony!"
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Yu asked.
"I'll treat you to dinner," said Galton.
During Christmas, Galton stayed at Gibbs's place, thinking that he could always see his idol Cheng Hao, but that didn't happen.
He only saw Cheng Hao on the first day!
He was a little helpless. After returning to school, he wanted to talk to Lin Yuxun. However, he looked for Lin Yuxun several times, but Lin Yuxun said he was too busy and rejected him.
Lin Yuxun was indeed very busy... He observed Lin Yuxun and found that he had never been as busy as Lin Yuxun in his life.
When Lin Yuxun heard what Galton said, he wanted to refuse as he had done before. Cheng Hao didn't seem to like Galton, so he didn't plan to have too much contact with him.
At this time, Galton said, "I heard that Cheng Hao is going to participate in a competition. Do you want to go with me?"
Lin Yuxun agreed without thinking.
