Claude ate, sobbing occasionally.
The people in the carriage would glance at him from time to time.
There were even people in other carriages who pretended nothing had happened and walked past their carriage, secretly looking at Claude.
There's no doubt that Claude has made a name for himself on this train.
However, he did not realize this and was still immersed in the pain of his broken game console.
Seeing this, Cheng Hao said, "Claude, don't be sad... Christmas is coming soon. I'll ask Santa Claus to give you a game console."
Claude looked up at Cheng Hao, tears welling up in his eyes. "Cheng Hao, don't lie to me. There's no Santa Claus. Old George said that all the Christmas gifts I received in the past were given by you."
Cheng Hao looked at Old George speechlessly.
Old George said, "Why are you looking at me? There is no Santa Claus."
Claude also nodded: "Yes, there is no Santa Claus. Before I met you, I had never received a Christmas present."
"Okay." Cheng Hao said, "Then for Christmas this year, I'll give you a game console, okay?"
"Okay." Claude burst into laughter.
Old George glared at Cheng Hao and said, "Are you sure you want to give it to me? Do you have the money?"
Cheng Hao: "..." He has no money, he is very poor now.
Claude has been with Old George for more than two years, but he has never participated in any competition and has never made any money. He has been eating and living at Old George's house for the past two years, and Old George occasionally gives him a few dollars in pocket money... Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Old George to buy an expensive game console for Claude, so Cheng Hao said he would buy it himself.
But Cheng Hao is indeed short of money recently.
Before becoming a professional boxer, Cheng Hao could make money by fighting in underground boxing, but after becoming a professional boxer, he could no longer do that.
Firstly, it is easy to get injured, and secondly, it will reduce your value.
As for making money from taking advertisements, or making money from competing with others... ahem, because he is not famous now, not only can he not get any advertisements, but magazines or newspapers will not pay him for interviews.
As for playing the game...
In the past three months, Cheng Hao played in several games, but the sponsors did not make back their costs through ticket sales. Of course, the sponsors could still run advertisements, so they did not lose money.
Due to various reasons, Cheng Hao doesn't have much money now, and it's a bit difficult to buy a game console that costs several hundred dollars.
More importantly, he bought one for Claude, so he should buy one for Danny as well, right?
Then I'll buy two!
However, Cheng Hao thought about it and said, "Actually, I still have some money, and I don't spend it much." He took out all his savings, which was enough to buy two game consoles and a Christmas present for Lin Yuxun. As for the future... it would be better not to spend money.
Old George glanced at Cheng Hao, snorted and said nothing.
Cheng Hao had finished the lunch he bought on the train, so he took out the sandwiches they brought on the train and started eating. At this moment, he suddenly realized that those people who came from other carriages to peek at Claude were most likely the same people who were caught by Claude and wanted to rob him just now, all gangsters.
These people had unpleasant looks in their eyes, and when they looked at Claude, it didn't seem like they were looking at him in wonder, but rather with a hint of malice.
Cheng Hao didn't like these people, but he didn't care too much. After all, these gangsters came to observe Claude, most of them not to deal with Claude, but to recognize his faces, know who is not easy to mess with, and avoid him in the future.
As a result, after so many people came to recognize people, Cheng Hao suddenly saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time among them.
Claude's younger brother Chester, who had bullied Lin Yuxun, actually swayed in from the front carriage and looked at Claude.
After seeing Claude, he froze.
Cheng Hao hasn't seen Chester for two years.
Back in the slums, Chester was considered a low-level gangster. He didn't join any gang and just made a little money by blackmailing his classmates.
Chester is different now. He wears branded clothes and looks very bright and handsome. If Cheng Hao had not been impressed by him, he probably would not have recognized him.
After this man dropped Claude off at Old George's, he never showed up again, nor did he contact Claude. Unexpectedly, he met him on a train now... Cheng Hao was a little surprised and curious when he saw Chester stop and turn away.
There was no doubt that he had no intention of coming over to say hello.
Cheng Hao looked at Claude and found that he was still eating and didn't see Chester, so he felt relieved.
On the other side, Chester had already left Cheng Hao and his companions' carriage.
Seeing Chester leave, the people around him were puzzled: "Chester, aren't we going to take a look at that strong and tough guy?"
"Hasn't it been seen?" Chester said, "They rarely take a train, so there's no need to remember it."
"I'm just curious." said the person next to Chester.
"Then you can go and see it again." Chester found an empty seat and sat down.
The people around him looked at him and actually ran to see Cheng Hao.
Seeing these people leave, Chester took a deep breath.
After he left Claude with old George, he left the poor community.
In the past two years, he would think of Claude from time to time, but he never went back or asked about Claude's situation.
He was afraid of hearing bad news.
This brother used to be nice to him. He would stand up for him if someone bullied him. If something happened to this brother, he would feel sorry for him.
In that case, I might as well not ask about the other party's situation.
However, although he didn't ask, he always felt that his brother would not have a good life.
After all, he had a mental problem, and when he left him with old George, he didn't tell old George about it at all.
Because of this, when Old George discovered the truth, he would most likely drive his brother away, and his brother would be homeless and might not survive the winter.
After all, they are brothers. Even if Chester has done something bad in the past two years, he will feel guilty when he thinks of his brother.
To this day, he saw the grown man crying while eating his meal on the train.
That's his brother.
Next to his brother were Old George and Cheng Hao.
His brother was not driven away by Old George, and Old George even continued to support his brother.
Chester let out a long breath and remembered what he had heard before.
So, the one who hit him was his brother, right? His brother was really strong...
Old George actually let his brother play the new Nintendo game console and bought him expensive and uneconomical meals on the train... His brother seemed to be living a good life.
In this case, he won't have to worry anymore.
Chester thought so and took out a cigarette to smoke.
The people around saw this and glared at him, but he glared back even more fiercely, so those people didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, several of Chester's companions came back.
"The one who hit me turned out to be a fool!"
"This idiot is lucky enough to even be able to play video games."
"That yellow guy on the other side of the idiot is a very famous boxer, the champion of this year's Golden Gloves tournament!"
"That fool might be a boxer too, no wonder he's so good."
…
These people were talking to each other.
Chester asked, "Is that yellow guy famous?"
"Yes! Chester, if you watch a boxing match, you will definitely see him. He is so special! The only yellow man!" said the man.
Chester had loved boxing in his early years, but he hadn't watched a boxing match in the past two years because he had left his brother to a boxer. Now that he heard about it, he said, "When we get back, find him a match and show it to me."
"I don't have any video!" the man said, "But when he participates in a competition in the future, we can go and watch the scene. Maybe we can steal something."
Chester agreed.
Cheng Hao didn't know what was happening in Chester. He put the broken game console back together and then closed his eyes to rest.
He rested for a short while before they arrived at their station.
Bob had returned home early and was waiting for them outside the station. After getting in the car, Cheng Hao went to Old George's house in the suburbs.
The weather was very cold and there was no greenery around the house, but when Cheng Hao saw the house, he still felt warm in his heart.
He almost considered this place his home.
When Cheng Hao and the others arrived home, Lin Yuxun and Danny had already returned early.
Danny leaned against the window and looked out. His breath formed a layer of white mist on the window, but he wiped it off and continued looking out.
Behind him sat Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun didn't stare out the window like Danny without blinking, but he would still glance out from time to time. When he saw that there was no one outside the window, he would continue reading the book in his hand.
Finally, in the distance, they saw a car looking over.
"Ah!" Danny made a short and sharp sound and jumped up. Lin Yuxun also stood up immediately, threw the book on the seat and walked out.
After walking a few steps, Lin Yuxun stopped again.
He wore a suit today and dressed up nicely, and he thought he looked very handsome. He didn't know if Cheng Hao liked him like this... Also, he had been sitting before, and he didn't know if his clothes were wrinkled.
Lin Yuxun's heart was in turmoil, but he finally gritted his teeth, opened the door and walked out.
As he was going out, Bob had just parked the car.
It was very windy today and the temperature outside was still below zero. The biting wind blowing on his face seemed to be scraping off a layer of his skin... But Lin Yuxun was unaware of it. His attention was all on the car.
He hadn't seen Cheng Hao for a long time, and he had a lot to say to Cheng Hao, such as how much money he made...
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Yuxun saw Cheng Hao getting out of the car.
"It's so cold..." Cheng Hao said, then he looked up and saw Lin Yuxun standing in the cold wind in a suit and Danny hiding behind Lin Yuxun in a bright red coat.
Cheng Hao immediately frowned: "What's wrong with you two? It's so cold, and you ran out wearing so little clothes! Go back to the house!"
He looked at Lin Yuxun and Danny with a bad face, drove them back into the house, and then went back to pick up the luggage.
Lin Yuxun and Danny were waiting at the door. Danny rushed over after Cheng Hao brought the luggage into the house.
But Cheng Hao stopped him again.
After taking off his coat and hanging it at the door, Cheng Hao hugged Danny and said, "Danny, I missed you so much!"
