Chapter 97 The World of Sound



On Christmas Day, Arabella roasted a turkey.

The turkey smelled very fragrant, but the taste was just average... Cheng Hao gave the better-tasting layer on the outside to Danny, and ate the tasteless meat inside.

Christmas is the children's favorite holiday, and they usually go out together, but they live in the suburbs with few families around, and Danny is very special, so they have never gone out much.

After Christmas, Lin Yuxun returned to the city. It was not until the day before the operation that he drove back to pick up Cheng Hao and Danny.

Danny was admitted to the hospital in advance, and Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun also rented beds in the hospital to accompany him.

I have to say that the facilities in the hospital here are really good. The only drawback is that they are relatively expensive. Cheng Hao doesn't even dare to eat in the hospital, for fear that he might accidentally spend a hundred dollars on food.

In his previous life, when he was receiving treatment in a public hospital in China, he could eat as much as he wanted with just 20 yuan, which made him very happy.

When Danny was hospitalized, Kurt also brought Arthur to the hospital. Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun also met Arthur's mother.

She was a very gentle woman, a little introverted, completely different from her talkative husband.

Kurt is really talkative. It was only the second time he met Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun, but he was able to chat as if they had known each other for years. Not only that, Kurt also took the initiative to propose to visit Lin Yuxun's company and said that if Lin Yuxun needed it, he could provide investment.

However, Lin Yuxun's company does not need investment for the time being. After all, they are mainly engaged in technology and do not run a factory. For the time being, they have already purchased all the computers and other equipment needed for technology.

However, after hearing about some investment matters, Lin Yuxun had different ideas.

If he has money in the future, maybe he can start investing?

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing right now is Danny's surgery.

The next day, Danny was in surgery.

Lin Yuxun paced back and forth outside the operating room, unable to calm down, and Cheng Hao was the same.

However, outside the operating room, there was a cheerful voice that was in stark contrast to their anxious mood - Danny's friend, little Arthur, who would have surgery tomorrow, insisted on staying outside the operating room and playing Super Mario with his game console.

The game's small sound effects were quite loud outside the quiet operating room.

His behavior made his mother embarrassed, but he was unaware and was having a lot of fun.

"Yuxun, don't worry." Cheng Hao comforted Lin Yuxun: "Danny will be fine."

Lin Yuxun knew that Danny would be fine.

Given Danny's current condition, even if the surgery fails, he won't be affected.

But he really wanted Danny to succeed.

Danny's operation didn't take long, and he came out of the operating room soon.

Not only that, there were no visible wounds on his body.

The technology of cochlear implants at that time was probably not as advanced as it would be decades later. After Danny had it installed, the doctor did not turn it on immediately. He let him rest for a day before turning it on.

When the camera was turned on, Lin Yuxun opened his mouth, but suddenly no sound came out. Finally, Cheng Hao spoke up: "Danny, can you hear anything?"

Danny looked at Cheng Hao and smiled slowly. After laughing, he cried again, and big tears rolled down his face.

"Danny!" Cheng Hao called out again, and then Danny hugged him and cried loudly.

As he cried, he began to make sounds: "Ah! Ah! Woo-wah!"

For the rest of the day, Danny enjoyed talking.

He rarely made any noise before and always stayed quietly in the corner by himself, but now he makes noises all the time, and even shouts when he eats a bite of food.

He also knocked his rice bowl with a spoon and slapped his bed with his hands.

If Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun stopped talking, he would pull them aside and make them talk.

But he actually didn't understand a word.

Having never heard any sound from the outside world, he had no idea what Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun meant, but he liked to hear these words.

After listening to it, he laughed: "Wow! Ahhhh1"

After laughing, he would cry: "Woo..."

He seemed to want to utter all the voices he had been suppressing at once, making it louder than ever.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Hao felt both happy and distressed.

He was happy that his surgery was successful, but as for feeling sad… seeing Danny smile so happily made him want to cry.

In fact, Kurt's wife, Arthur's mother, kept wiping away tears and muttering to herself: "God bless..." Her Arthur had also completed the operation, but the cochlear implant had not been opened. Now, she has begun to look forward to it.

Danny shouted for a long time, but finally he got tired and stopped shouting and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

When he fell asleep, there was still a smile on his face.

That night, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun stayed in the ward as usual.

In the middle of the night, they were suddenly awakened by a loud shout. Lin Yuxun turned on the light and found that it was Danny who was shouting. He was sitting on the hospital bed, looking frightened.

"Danny, what's wrong?" Lin Yuxun asked.

"Ah..." Danny looked at Lin Yuxun and cried again.

Danny cried particularly hard this time and cried for two hours. By the time he finished crying, it was dawn.

Then Danny stopped talking and became as quiet as before, but he kept a smile on his face.

Cheng Hao couldn't help but ask, "Danny, why are you silent?"

Danny listened attentively and gave Cheng Hao a big smile.

Cheng Hao knew that Danny didn't understand, so he smiled at him and wrote down what he wanted to ask on a piece of paper for Danny to see.

Danny quickly wrote his answer on a piece of paper: "It will disturb you and you will be unhappy."

"No." Cheng Hao wrote.

Danny looked at the paper, then at Cheng Hao, and shouted again: "Ah!"

Seeing Danny like this, Cheng Hao smiled and patted his head. Lin Yuxun had a complicated expression: "When he was little, he actually liked to shout a lot, and then his mother would beat him, and then he stopped making any noise..."

Lin Yuxun once again felt that his current life was like a dream.

He went to college, had his own business, and Danny could hear again.

All of this was so beautiful that he couldn't help but worry that when he woke up one day, Cheng Hao would disappear.

After hearing what Lin Yuxun said, Cheng Hao took out a piece of paper and wrote.

He told Danny that he could laugh happily and shout loudly, and there was nothing wrong with that as long as it didn't disturb others' sleep or work.

After finishing writing, he drew pictures and wrote words to explain to Danny what sound was.

He hopes that Danny can always be happy in the future.

Danny was fine now, so they left the hospital that day. On the way back, Cheng Hao kept teaching Danny to speak simple words.

Before, Danny couldn't hear and it was very difficult for him to learn to speak, but now he can hear.

Although the tone was strange, Danny quickly learned to say his own name.

Lin Yuxun was driving in the front, listening to Cheng Hao in the back seat quietly teaching Danny to speak, and he wished that this road would never end.

When they got home, Danny was the first to get out of the car and rushed into the house: "Holle!"

Everyone in the room was alarmed.

For several days in a row, Danny became the absolute focus of the family, and at the same time, he also learned a lot of words.

Perhaps because he used to live in a silent world, Danny now likes all sounds. He always turns on the TV or radio to listen to the sounds in it, and is willing to communicate with anyone.

But everyone was busy, so the thing he talked about the most was Monica's child.

The child is at the age of learning to speak and has a strong desire to express herself. She babble all day long. Now, there is another person named Danny who babble like her, and the two can talk to each other.

Monica felt relieved.

Monica, who had relaxed, always looked for Lin Yuxun to talk.

She has always liked smart and slim boys. Lin Yuxun can be said to have grown up exactly as she likes. Not to mention that the only boys of the same age she can get in touch with now are Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun.

Although Cheng Hao was very likable, she didn't like boxers from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, Cheng Hao was too tall and too strong. Monica often watched him boxing and was even a little afraid of him.

"Tony, I made apple pie. Would you like to try it?" That afternoon, Monica went to Lin Yuxun again with the food she made.

Monica was very straightforward. Lin Yuxun didn't notice it at first, but now he has realized it.

Monica...likes him.

When he first realized this, Lin Yuxun had an incredible feeling.

This was the first time in his life that someone had expressed affection for him. He had never thought that there would be a beautiful girl who liked him.

However, he was not happy, but rather a little worried.

When he confessed his feelings to Cheng Hao before, Cheng Hao thought that his love was out of gratitude and didn't take his confession seriously at all. If he sees Monica getting close to him now, will he take his confession even less seriously?

He felt that he could not harm Cheng Hao, but he did hope that Cheng Hao would like him and remember him forever.

"Thank you." Lin Yuxun thought for a moment, accepted the apple pie, and immediately came to Cheng Hao and handed the apple pie to him attentively: "Cheng Hao, do you want to eat it?"

Cheng Hao: “…”

Not only Lin Yuxun could see what Monica was thinking, but Cheng Hao could see it too.

He didn't notice Lin Yuxun's feelings for him at first because he treated Lin Yuxun as a family member and regarded that feeling as family affection, but Monica's feelings for Lin Yuxun... Monica always got close to Lin Yuxun, and he would have to be blind not to see it.

It’s just… Monica brought food to Lin Yuxun several times a day, and Lin Yuxun actually gave it all to himself…
