Although he didn't have much contact with him, Lin Yuxun knew that Cheng Hao was different from the people he had been in contact with since childhood.
The people around him who are about the same age as Cheng Hao are always forming cliques and fighting fiercely for the position of leader. They all know how to swear, and whoever doesn't swear will be bullied.
People are always very irritable, they will jump up and fight if they disagree with each other, and they will fight endlessly for any good things.
They are also addicted to alcohol, marijuana and women, and they are never too concerned about the present, thinking about what will happen to them tomorrow.
And Cheng Hao... Although he also fought yesterday, he didn't say a single swear word.
Although he eats fast, he has a good posture.
His English is as good as the announcer on the radio.
He was injured and reduced to this place, but he didn't belong here at all, and he was afraid that he would leave soon.
Now, he may be gone.
this is nothing. Lin Yuxun told himself that he has always been alone, and he can be alone in the future.
No, he's not alone, he has Danny to take care of.
Someone walked past him, laughing.
The man spoke loudly, but Lin Yuxun couldn't hear what the man said for some reason. He felt that his body was very heavy, and the strength in his whole body was almost gone.
He would never have lived without Danny.
"Lin Yuxun." A voice suddenly sounded, the fog in front of Lin Yuxun disappeared, and he saw Cheng Hao.
His heart suddenly settled down.
Cheng Hao didn't have a watch, so he didn't know the time. When he saw Lin Yuxun at school, he immediately asked, "Are you waiting for me? Is it time for lunch?"
Lin Yuxun's expression changed: "The time for lunch has passed."
"The time has passed?" Cheng Hao was a little anxious: "Let's go over and have a look... By the way, have you eaten yet?"
Lin Yuxun shook his head.
Cheng Hao dragged Lin Yuxun forward, and said while running: "Why don't you eat? Do you have to know when you eat in the future? Don't go hungry, it's not good for your stomach."
Lin Yuxun nodded, and only after he nodded did he realize that Cheng Hao was running ahead and couldn't see him nodding.
Cheng Hao took Lin Yuxun to the school cafeteria, and found that there were only one or two people still eating, and the person who divided the meals was instructing a black woman to clean up the table. He didn't do the work himself, but he still complained. On and on: "I'm really sick of this place, can't these guys stop eating all over the table?"
As a result, when he complained, the one person who was still eating wiped the ketchup on the plate with his hands and spread it on the table.
Cheng Hao glanced at the black man with ketchup, and rushed to the person who shared the meal: "Is there any lunch left? I'm very hungry..."
"I remember you... You ate so much in the morning and you're hungry? I thought you wouldn't be able to eat all day long!" said the person sharing the meal.
"I have a big appetite." Cheng Hao smiled at him.
"Okay...but it's not lunch time anymore." The man said, "You exceeded twenty minutes! Not two minutes, but twenty minutes!"
"Is there any extra food? You are a kind person..." Cheng Hao looked at the other party.
The person who shared the meal was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either: "For your poor sake."
He said, taking out some food.
The food was rough, blackened bread, some bacon, and a few slices of orange and some raw purple cabbage, oh, and some ketchup.
Cheng Hao has always disliked eating raw vegetables, the only thing he can accept is the a la carte leaves in the hamburger.
He would never eat this kind of raw purple cabbage in the past.
But he is hungry.
Cheng Hao swept away all the food, but at this time, Lin Yuxun had only eaten half of his bread.
There was some food left in the cafeteria, but the people who shared the meals didn't give Cheng Hao too much. Fortunately, Cheng Hao ate a lot today, which has relieved his hunger.
After eating, Cheng Hao had time to talk to Lin Yuxun: "I went to the relief center today and got some food. You can take them home after class."
With that said, Cheng Hao gave Lin Yuxun the sandwich and milk in his hand.
Lin Yuxun said: "I still have... classes, it's inconvenient to carry them, you can take them back." He said, and gave Cheng Hao the key to the rolling door.
Cheng Hao thought that Lin Yuxun might be bullied and robbed of food at school, so he immediately agreed, and said, "Then study hard, I'll go back first."
Lin Yuxun nodded. His father always told him to study hard before, but he didn't expect Cheng Hao to say such things...
Seeing Lin Yuxun's obedient appearance, Cheng Hao couldn't help but said: "In the future, don't give the keys to others casually. What if you meet bad people?"
Lin Yuxun didn't speak, and looked at Cheng Hao with his eyes open.
Cheng Hao pinched his face, turned and left.
As soon as Cheng Hao left school, he saw Chester.
Cheng Hao hated Chester's bullying of Lin Yuxun, but Chester himself was also a minor, so it was impossible for him to do too much to Chester.
Even, because he was not familiar with this place, he still needed Chester's help.
But he didn't intend to be friendly to Chester, nor was he willing to let Chester go in front of Lin Yuxun... So when he came, he told Chester not to follow him, lest Lin Yuxun see it.
"I want to go back first, and then go to that bar," Cheng Hao said, "will you go with me, or wait for me here?"
Chester said, "I'll go with you."
Cheng Hao asked: "You don't study?"
"Reading? I haven't read books well, and now I can't even recognize those words." Chester giggled, looking proud.
With his appearance, Cheng Hao has nothing to say.
The two soon came to the place where Lin Yuxun lived. Cheng Hao opened the door with the key, walked in, and then saw Danny in the bedroom, holding the can and eating the soybeans inside with a fork.
He couldn't hear the sound, and didn't notice Cheng Hao at first, but when he saw it later, he just glanced at Cheng Hao quietly, and ignored Cheng Hao.
This kid is too calm... Cheng Hao wondered if he had other problems besides being deaf and dumb.
But now that he and Lin Yuxun are poor and useless, even if the child has other problems, they can't do much.
Cheng Hao put all five sandwiches and milk on the bed, and pushed them in front of the child.
The child took another look at Cheng Hao, then opened a carton of milk and started to drink it calmly.
Cheng Hao stroked his hair before leaving.
Chester was waiting outside, and when he saw Cheng Hao coming out, he carried a sandwich and milk wrapped in a shirt and walked forward.
Old George's bar is 30 minutes away from where Lin Yuxun lives. When he entered the bar, Cheng Hao felt that the atmosphere here was not right.
He saw guns on several people, and people coming and going were not easy to mess with just looking at them.
Old George's pub stood out in that row of shops. The door of the bar is well decorated, and there are many lights on the signboard. You can’t see anything during the day now. When the lights here are on at night, it should make the bar more eye-catching.
As soon as he saw this bar, Chester was eager to try it: "I haven't been in it yet, I don't know what it looks like inside!"
Cheng Hao looked at Chester: "Thank you for bringing me here. The grievances between me and you will be cancelled. As long as you stop bullying Lin Yuxun, I will not trouble you and your friends... goodbye!"
"You won't take me in?" Chester was dumbfounded.
"Kids shouldn't be in a place like this."
Chester immediately became unhappy: "I'm not a kid anymore! I can already sleep with women!"
Cheng Hao was already walking towards the bar, and he almost staggered when he heard this.
All kinds of things in this poor community really made him a little bit unacceptable for a person who grew up under the red flag.
Although Chester felt that he was already an adult, Cheng Hao still had no plans with him.
He strode into the bar, and as soon as he entered, he was stopped by a black man who was not young and had a beard: "Boy, what are you doing here?"
The man who stopped Cheng Hao had a cigarette in his mouth, and the smell of the smoke was completely different from that of ordinary cigarettes.
Cheng Hao's face remained unchanged, and he said, "I'm here to find old George... I'm a boxer and I want to come and fight."
"Punch? By you?" The man took a puff of smoke at Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao held his breath silently.
"I have learned boxing for many years, and I know how to box," said Cheng Hao, "and I am Chinese, and I know Chinese Kung Fu."
At this point, Cheng Hao knows very well that he can't pick and choose, and has to learn to bow his head.
The man frowned slightly.
Cheng Hao said again: "Whether you win or lose, it's always a gimmick if someone who knows Chinese Kungfu punches in a bar."
"I don't need a gimmick here...but you convinced me." The black man threw the cigarette on the ground: "Come in, little guy!"
