Those robbers should have followed us out from the casino.
Because Cheng Hao and his friends took the money and left immediately, these people failed to make detailed arrangements and just came to rob them with knives. Now seeing Cheng Hao and his friends running away, they were stunned for a moment and could only chase them.
However, the hotel where Cheng Hao and his friends were staying was very close.
After a while, Cheng Hao dragged Lin Yuxun to the hotel entrance. That was not all, he also saw the police on patrol.
"Police! There's a robbery!" Cheng Hao shouted, and at this time, the policemen had already seen the robber with a knife.
They pulled out their guns and chased the robbers: "Stop! Don't move!"
There was no way the robbers could stand still; they turned around and ran away as fast as they could.
If it was in the slum community where Cheng Hao and his friends lived, the police would have opened fire at this moment, but the police here did not shoot immediately. They just ran behind and disappeared with the robbers in a short while.
Cheng Hao stood at the door of the hotel, breathed a sigh of relief, and went to see Lin Yuxun again.
He ran every day, so the short distance he just ran was nothing to him. He wasn't tired at all, but Lin Yuxun was already panting. As for Danny...
When he saw the robbers, Cheng Hao held Danny in his arms, not letting him look back. Danny didn't know what was happening yet... Cheng Hao lifted him up a little and asked him with a smile, "Danny, are you happy?"
Although Danny couldn't hear what Cheng Hao said, he could see Cheng Hao's smile.
At this moment, he just thought that Cheng Hao was playing with him by suddenly running, and hugged Cheng Hao's neck with a smile.
Seeing this, Cheng Hao lifted him up and nudged his stomach with his head.
Danny's smile widened.
After making sure Danny was okay, Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun and asked with the same smile, "Did you feel that was thrilling? Was it as exciting as in the movies? It was fun, right?"
"Yes." Lin Yuxun was a little scared at first, but when he heard Cheng Hao ask this and saw Cheng Hao's bright smile, he was no longer afraid and the corners of his mouth curled up.
As long as I'm with Cheng Hao, no matter how dangerous the situation is, it won't be so scary anymore.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Hao finally felt relieved and began to calm his heartbeat.
He didn't show anything in front of Danny and Lin Yuxun, but in fact, he was a little scared.
I was afraid that they would really be in danger, and that something would happen to Lin Yuxun and Danny.
He had always been careful in the slum community where they lived before, but here... he was really a little careless.
He thought he would be safe in the big city, but he forgot that it was always more dangerous at night, not to mention that they had just come out of the casino.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Hao finally suppressed the fear in his heart, and then realized something - where were Old George and Claude? Why were they gone?
Before, Cheng Hao was worried that Claude didn’t know how to run, so he let Claude run first and he ran after.
But when he saw Claude holding old George and running out like a wild horse, he was no longer worried about Claude and just ran after him.
But now, Old George and Claude are gone.
If they had entered the hotel, they should have waited in the lobby, but there was no one in the lobby.
Cheng Hao asked, "Where's Claude?"
Lin Yuxun shook his head blankly. He was so frightened before that how could he have time to care about anything else?
"You wait here, I'll go look for him." Cheng Hao said, and was about to go look for him.
But as soon as he walked out of the hotel, he found that Old George and Claude had returned.
Old George's face looked extremely ugly. As for Claude, he was a little scared and followed Old George closely.
"Old George, I'm so glad you're okay!" Cheng Hao said.
"How can I be alright? I'm in trouble!" Old George was furious. He glared at Cheng Hao, then at Claude. He wanted to curse, but he felt that cursing his own people in public would only embarrass himself. He could only say, "Bring your gifts! Follow me upstairs!"
Old George was going crazy.
Before, Claude actually picked him up and ran away, like a princess!
Old George swore that he had never been hugged like this in his life, he was so embarrassed!
That would have been fine, but after that idiot Claude picked him up, he just ran forward. He watched helplessly as they ran past the hotel, and then continued forward...
Fortunately, Claude stopped in response to his scolding, and then they who had run past him slowly walked back.
Old George booked two adjacent rooms, both of which were standard rooms. One was for Cheng Hao and his three companions, and the other was for him and Claude to sleep in.
After going upstairs, Old George called Cheng Hao and Claude to his room and yelled at them until his throat was sore. Only then was he satisfied and put Cheng Hao back to sleep.
However, when Cheng Hao left, he heard Old George yelling at Claude: "Go take a shower!"
Cheng Hao sympathized with Claude for a while, then quickly returned to his room and took out the five thousand dollars and began to count them.
One hundred dollars a piece, there are actually only fifty bills in the five thousand dollars, but Cheng Hao counted them back and forth several times and was very satisfied.
Then he started to worry again: "Where should we hide this money?"
In his previous life, he was at least a well-known athlete who earned millions a year, but now he was actually struggling with how to hide 100,000 yuan...
"Does your inner clothes have pockets?" Lin Yu asked.
The two discussed it and finally decided to put the money in the pocket of a shirt with pockets, and then Cheng Hao would wear the shirt inside. He would put on a sweater and a coat outside, so that he would not have to worry about losing the money.
As for the inconvenience of using the money to spend… they didn’t spend it, but only used the five hundred dollars they had saved!
After the two of them had discussed it, they went to bed happily.
The next day, due to their biological clocks, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun both woke up very early, but Danny slept very soundly.
Cheng Hao trained for over an hour in his hotel room, then took a quick shower. Then, he looked in the bathroom mirror and flexed his muscles: "I'm getting stronger and stronger. I'm going to be the best boxer!"
A boxer must have confidence. An unconfident boxer may retreat out of fear before even starting to fight with his opponent.
You have to know that in a real competition, most boxers feel tired and feel they cannot win. It is all because of psychological effects. They give up in their hearts, retreat, and dare not fight.
If a boxer loses his confidence, it will be difficult for him to stand up again.
Cheng Hao doesn't stuff towels in his pants to boost his confidence, but he does give himself a daily pep talk: "I'm the best! I'm going to be the heavyweight boxing champion of the world!"
Lin Yuxun heard everything Cheng Hao said, and it was not the first time he heard Cheng Hao say such words.
This is actually a bit narcissistic, but when Cheng Hao does it, it seems natural.
Of course, Cheng Hao will become the most powerful boxer and the world heavyweight boxing champion.
Lin Yuxun believed him: "You will definitely succeed!"
"Thank you." Cheng Hao smiled and looked at Lin Yuxun. "You will succeed too. You are so smart. If you become a doctor, you will definitely become the best doctor. If you become a lawyer, I believe celebrities all over the world will want to be friends with you! If you become a scientist, the Nobel Prize will be yours."
Lin Yuxun often felt depressed and always felt that he was not capable of anything he did, but when Cheng Hao said this to him, and when he read what he had written down, he felt full of strength all over his body.
Although he thought Cheng Hao was exaggerating, he liked listening to it.
Cheng Hao blew on himself and then blew on Lin Yuxun, and Danny woke up.
Cheng Hao walked over, picked up Danny, and kissed him: "Danny, you are really the bravest child! You are not afraid at all when you come to a strange place!"
Danny had no idea what Cheng Hao was praising him for, but he was very happy and laughed happily.
A beautiful day begins.
After Danny finished washing up, they went to have breakfast together.
This hotel is not bad, but it is not a particularly good hotel either. For example, there are very few types of breakfast, and each person only has one portion of eggs, sausages and barbecue. Bread and drinks are self-service and can be taken at will.
The hotel probably did this to save money.
Unfortunately, they met Cheng Hao.
The hotel's bread was not very good. Many guests would eat their own portion of eggs and sausages and nothing else. But Cheng Hao was different. He insisted on eating five people's worth of bread.
The restaurant waiter's eyes changed when he looked at Cheng Hao.
When Cheng Hao finally finished eating... Old George came again with Claude.
Claude ate a portion for six.
The waiter was stunned.
Old George didn't touch the bread. He drank a cup of tea and ate his portion of eggs, sausages and barbecue. Then he said to Cheng Hao, "I'm going to meet some friends later. You take your brother and Claude out for a walk."
"No problem." Cheng Hao said.
Old George took out another two hundred dollars and gave it to Cheng Hao. He pointed at Claude and said, "Buy him some clothes. You should buy some too."
Cheng Hao agreed.
Claude always wore old George's clothes.
Old George is about the same height as Claude, but he is much thinner than Claude. Claude weighs two hundred pounds, which is about ninety kilograms. As for Old George, he weighs at most seventy kilograms.
Old George's clothes didn't fit Claude well.
After Claude had eaten, Cheng Hao took Claude out.
In the past, in slum communities, most people were black at a glance, but now in big cities, there are very few black people, and all you see are white people.
Things like spitting, going to the toilet anywhere, quarreling, swearing or even fighting are completely unheard of here.
This place is completely different from the slum community where they lived before.
However, they are somewhat out of tune with this world.
Actually, Cheng Hao, Lin Yuxun, and Danny were fine, but it was Claude...
Claude, who wore ill-fitting clothes, had messy hair and beard, and had no temperament at all, was always looked at with caution when he walked on the street. This made Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun also start to be looked at with caution by others.
Cheng Hao was fine, but Lin Yuxun and Claude were very sensitive and immediately shrank back.
Cheng Hao said to Lin Yuxun, "Don't worry about what others think of you. You're smarter than them! I guarantee they won't understand the books you read!"
Lin Yuxun laughed.
Cheng Hao looked at Claude again: "Claude, why are you hiding? You are so strong, the strongest man in the world, you don't have to be afraid of them at all."
Claude was a little confused: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You are much stronger than me, aren't you? You are a person loved by God, so you are born so strong." Cheng Hao said.
Claude was also happy.
Lin Yuxun suddenly felt a little displeased with Claude...
Although the simple-minded Claude was no longer afraid after being praised by Cheng Hao, they couldn't continue like this...
Cheng Hao finally decided to take Claude clothes shopping first.
Old George gave them two hundred dollars, but they couldn't afford the clothes because they were too good and too expensive. Cheng Hao wanted to find a cheaper store, but there was no such store near the hotel.
Cheng Hao asked someone, and then took Lin Yuxun and others to wait for the bus.
They planned to go to the city center where there were many shops and a cheap supermarket where Claude could buy clothes.
Most of the people on the bus were white. After they got on, some people held their bags tightly and tried to stay away from them.
Cheng Hao was also a little helpless about this.
In the United States, there are many low-income people who do not have jobs and make a living by stealing. Some people in their community even take the train to big cities to steal, which makes many people unfriendly to black people who dress indecently.
As for yellow people like him, their treatment is not much better than that of black people.
However, Cheng Hao felt that their thinking was too one-sided.
He lived in a poor neighborhood and found that most of those who did bad things and stole things were well-dressed and not as dishonorable as Claude... Those thieves would even wear custom-made clothes by Pierre Cardin.
Although they were guarded along the way, they finally reached the city center.
Cheng Hao didn't care much about other people's opinions. He asked someone for directions and then went to a low-priced supermarket.
This is a two-story building with a staircase in the middle of the entrance. The space on the left side of the stairs sells women's clothing, and the space on the right side of the stairs sells various shoes. The railings on both sides of the stairs are hung with various bags, while men's and children's clothing are on the second floor.
Cheng Hao and the others went straight upstairs and started picking out clothes.
The clothes here are not expensive. Men's cotton coats only cost ten to twenty dollars, and pants and other items are even cheaper than buying them in the community where they live.
Cheng Hao brought his men to pick it up.
He found that Claude and Danny both liked brightly colored clothes, while Lin Yuxun preferred black, white, and gray.
Cheng Hao let them choose for themselves and he would give some suggestions.
Old George gave Cheng Hao two hundred dollars, but it wasn't all for Claude, there was also a share for Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao knew this, but after thinking about it, he decided to use it all to buy things for Claude.
When Claude was left to Old George by his brother Chester, he was penniless and actually lacked a lot of things.
Cheng Hao bought him three sets of thick clothes from head to toe, and also bought some discounted clothes such as short-sleeved shirts, all in the bright colors he liked.
He is dark-skinned, but he immediately becomes eye-catching when wearing bright colors.
Claude was very happy and kept asking Cheng Hao: "Are these all for me? Are they really for me?"
"Yes, these are all for you." Cheng Hao said, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want?" There were only ten dollars left of the two hundred dollars.
Claude said, "I want a pair of glasses, a pair of beautiful eyes!"
"Okay, I'll buy you a pair." Cheng Hao said. This supermarket also sells cheap sunglasses, so he asked Claude to pick out a pair.
Claude chose a pair of orange-rimmed glasses. After putting them on, his voice suddenly became tearful: "Oh, God, I have all these new clothes, and I even have glasses! I've always wanted a pair of glasses like this!"
As he spoke, he took off his glasses to wipe his tears and repeatedly said to Cheng Hao: "Cheng, you know what? I like these glasses. I have always wanted glasses like this."
Cheng Hao didn't know why he wanted the glasses, but he could probably guess that the glasses had special meaning to him.
Cheng Hao said, "Put on your glasses. You look good in them."
"Yes, I think I look good too!" Claude said, sniffing and putting his glasses back on.
Cheng Hao patted his shoulder: "So cool!" Claude's facial features were not good-looking, and his back was slightly hunched, but when he wore such colorful clothes... Cheng Hao suddenly felt that he was indeed quite good-looking.
Of course, the best looking ones are Danny and Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun picked out simple and elegant clothes in black, white and gray.
He has gained a little weight recently, and since he stays at home all day, his skin has become much whiter... Cheng Hao said, "Yu Xun, you look like a little prince!"
Lin Yuxun is the little prince and Danny is the little angel, so Cheng Hao praised them as usual.
The three of them had bought clothes before, but today they only bought a thick coat and two pairs of thick pants each. Cheng Hao also bought a waist bag for himself and a school bag each for Lin Yuxun and Danny.
Danny’s schoolbag is red, and Lin Yuxun’s schoolbag is the most ordinary black.
After they bought their clothes, they changed into them in the dressing room before leaving and heading straight to the bookstore not far away.
Cheng Hao's current income is unstable, so it is difficult for him to send Lin Yuxun to a private middle school, but he can buy books for Lin Yuxun.
The bookstore is very large. There is a sign at the door with the names of some best-selling books on it. After entering, Cheng Hao found that in addition to selling books, they also sell music tapes and video tapes.
Cheng Hao never had the chance to learn music, knew nothing about it, and had no interest in movies and TV series at the time. He didn't even bother to watch these things, and came in with Lin Yuxun and others.
There are many, many books here, and they are all in English... Although Cheng Hao has learned English very well, he still instinctively dislikes English books.
He waved towards the books and said to Lin Yuxun, "Yuxun, feel free to pick any books here. We'll buy them no matter how many there are today!"
Lin Yuxun laughed: "Okay."
Lin Yu went looking for books. Seeing this, Cheng Hao took Claude and Danny to buy picture books.
Claude had only been to school for a few days and couldn't even write his own name, and Danny didn't know many words. When Cheng Hao helped them choose books, he suddenly felt like a cultured person.
As they were picking, Cheng Hao suddenly saw a yellow man walking in from the door.
A yellow man like him and Lin Yuxun!
The man was probably in his twenties, wearing a pair of thick glasses and a somewhat worn, old-style coat. He held a notebook and a pen in his hands and walked towards the bookshelf as soon as he arrived.
Cheng Hao didn't know if this person was Chinese, but he was still happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw someone with the same skin color as him in a place where there were white people and black people everywhere.
"Friend, are you Chinese?" Cheng Hao greeted him in Mandarin.
The man turned his head suddenly and looked at Cheng Hao with excitement: "I am! I am!"
