CH 11

Posted on April 6, 2022by UntamedS

Lin Yuxun wasn’t too young, he was educated and not completely unfamiliar with the Chinese language. Under such circumstances, Cheng Jinhao wouldn’t have been surprised if he knew some simple words.

But he only wrote it down once and he could repeat the whole poem in a few minutes. He was definitely a genius.

Cheng Hao looked at Lin Yuxun as if he looking at a precious baby.

After living in a country that attached importance to learning since childhood, he admired people who learnt well!

Cheng Hao was very happy, but Lin Yuxun was a little worried.

Because Cheng Hao praised him before, just now he carefully memorized those words and wanted to write them down so that Cheng Hao would praise him again, but now… Although he wrote down all the words, he was a little confused.

Maybe he got some words wrong. Would Cheng Hao be disappointed?

Seeing the turmoil in his expression, Cheng Hao quickly hugged Lin Yuxun. “You’re so smart!”

Lin Yuxun relaxed and his face turned red at the same time.

He was a little embarrassed after being constantly praised.

Cheng Hao didn’t think much about it. After hugging Lin Yuxun, he enthusiastically taught Lin Yuxun a poem, a poem he learned in primary school and still remembered clearly: “Looking at the colored mountains from a distance, listening to the silent water near. The flowers are still in the spring, and the birds are silent when people come.”

Lin Yuxun quickly learnt it again.

Cheng Hao was now sure that his memory was very good!

But he couldn’t just depend on his memory… Cheng Hao racked his brains and thought of an arithmetic problem for Lin Yuxin to solve.

He went to the sports school very early, and he learned very general cultural lessons. His Chinese and English were good. The former was usually used all the time, while the teacher of the latter found someone to help him further. At least he knew all the words and could speak them, but he remained clueless about all the mathematical knowledge above elementary school.

As for what Cheng Jinhao had learned… He hadn’t fully understood what Cheng Jinhao learnt.

So he could only think of the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage. Of course, in order to increase the difficulty, he set the number of chickens and rabbits very high.

Lin Yuxun calculated with a pen and soon worked out the correct answer.

Although in China, people of Lin Yuxun’s age could calculate chicken and rabbit cages, Lin Yuxun calculated very quickly… At least it proved that he didn’t just have a good memory.

“You’re really great!”

Lin Yuxun’s face reddened, he felt a little dizzy.

He had always been despised. He didn’t expect someone to praise him so much!

“When you’re in school, do you always take first place?” Cheng Hao asked.

Lin Yuxun hesitated a little and nodded.

“I know you’re smart so your grades must be the best. If you continue like that, Harvard, Yale, Columbia would be your choice!” Cheng Hao continued chatting.

Lin Yuxun was stunned. He never dared to even think of going to a community university and finding a better job in the future yet Cheng Hao thought he could go to such a good university.

How was that possible!

How could he go to those universities?

“It’s not too late, if you start working hard.”

Cheng Hao got a little worried – to receive a good education, they needed money, but they didn’t have money now!

But in the United States, it was OK to go to college later. Maybe soon, he could earn Lin Yuxun’s tuition by boxing!

Cheng Hao actually had little to do with Lin Yuxun, but the first person he saw after transmigrating was Lin Yuxun. He was saved by Lin Yuxun. He felt different about Lin Yuxun.

More importantly, Lin Yuxun was a good boy who needed help.

In his last life, he earned a high income by boxing. After that, he subsidized several poor students. Naturally, he could also subsidize Lin Yuxun in the future.

Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao and smiled again, but said nothing.

Lin Yuxun had a clock at home, and it worked.

He came back very late today and It was already eight o’clock in the evening after such a busy day.

When Cheng Hao was in the sports school, he was always supervised by his teacher. He had gone to bed at more than nine o’clock. He also felt that the children should go to bed at nine o’clock too. He needed to take a shower first.

The house was small, there was a shower in the bathroom, but there was no water heater.

Lin Yuxun awkwardly spoke, “It’s inconvenient to take a bath here…”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be fast.” 

The three showered fast before returning to bed.

The bed in the bedroom looked like it was one meter five. It was a little crowded for three people, but they could all fit in it.

Cheng Hao went to bed early last night. He didn’t know how they slept. As for today… “I’ll sleep outside and you can sleep inside.”

Lin Yuxun nodded and pulled Danny inside. He let Danny lie down in the middle.

There were people on both sides and a warm feeling came from Cheng Hao… Lin Yuxun had only slept a little last night and he was already tired, so when he laid down, he quickly fell asleep.

Danny was a child. He ran and jumped for a long time today, so he also fell asleep fast.

It was Cheng Hao who fell asleep last after a while.

Cheng Hao was much better. He didn’t sleep like he did the day before, to the point that he didn’t even know when Lin Yuxun got up… Now when Lin Yuxun woke up in the morning, he also woke up.

They all had a good rest. Now that they woke up, they didn’t have to worry about waking Danny. Cheng Hao asked Lin Yuxun about the time for breakfast and lunch at school.

Lin Yuxun quietly whispered in response, “We can eat together in the morning. Come at noon when it’s time, I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”

“OK.” Cheng Hao answered and thought of another thing: “What about dinner?”

“I still have some money. I can buy some bread for dinner.”

Cheng Hao asked again, “Can’t you go to the relief center to get it?” It cost money to buy bread, the relief center was a free way to get food.

“After my mother died, they sent Danny and I to different foster families. They… I went to see Danny later and found that they beat Danny, so I brought Danny back. We’re both minors so we can’t get food.” At that time, his foster family was very bad to him, and the situation on Danny’s side was the same, so they escaped.

Going to the relief center to get food was based on having a family. 

Fortunately, the school was very friendly to minors. He could eat free meals there.

“Do you have enough money?”

“Don’t worry, I have money.” Lin Yuxun replied.

Cheng Hao was relieved when he found out that the food here wasn’t expensive. As long as they don’t choose good food, they wouldn’t spend much money.

That morning, Cheng Hao followed Lin Yuxun to school for breakfast, and  after breakfast, he went home.

When he came home, Danny was awake and eating a sandwich. Seeing him come in, Danny immediately got out of bed and ran towards him.

Danny had always faced him with a blank expression before, but after playing with him once, his attitude changed completely… Cheng Hao squatted down, “Let’s play together.”

Danny could continue to play paper planes or something. As for him… He had to do simple exercise.

The wound on his abdomen hadn’t healed yet, so Cheng Hao didn’t dare to exercise too hard. He just stretched his arms and kicked his legs. At least he would get familiar with this body.

Cheng Jinhao’s physical condition was very good, but his strength was a little small. It was nothing, he could practice slowly in the future.

Cheng Hao slowly got used to his body. When Danny came to him after playing for a while, he picked up Danny and held him high above his head.

Danny was nine years old and a little thin. He couldn’t hold him up for too long, but it was still very easy to hold him occasionally.

And after he did, he obviously saw that Danny felt closer to him.

After playing and working out, it was almost noon. Cheng Hao planned to go out to find Lin Yuxun.

As he opened the rolling shutter door and was about to go out. he looked back and saw Danny staring at him.

After thinking about it, Cheng Hao held out his hand to him: “Danny, do you want to go with me?”

Danny didn’t understand what he was saying, but he could understand his gesture. He immediately ran towards Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao touched his head, closed the door and led him forward. He was worried.

No matter Lin Yuxun or Danny, they were too unguarded.

He had only known these two people for a few days, and they trusted him so much!

He had to keep an eye on Danny in the future to prevent the child from being abducted. He also needed to mention it to Lin Yuxun.

As Cheng Hao got lost in his thoughts, he felt Danny coming to his side and leaning closely against him.

He carefully observed the surrounding environment, looking a little afraid.

Cheng Hao squatted down and hugged him. 

Then he held his hand and walked forward with him.

At noon, there weren’t many people on the street. When they walked like this, no one came to trouble them.

As he walked, Danny was obviously a little tired, but he didn’t let Cheng Hao hold him, but insisted on walking alone silently.

He was a very sensible child. As he got to know him, Cheng Hao liked him even more.

When they got to the school, they saw Lin Yuxun standing at the school gate.

Seeing Lin Yuxun, Danny left Cheng Hao’s side, rushed over and hugged Lin Yuxun’s waist.

“Danny…” Lin Yuxun hugged Danny, surprised and happy, his eyes were red.
