The holidays in the Zhang residence were carried out in a grim mood. Huobai's operation was shifted to a later time because the bone lump stopped growing, so they wanted to observe it for a while now too.
The second reason was that his doctor broke his arm and couldn't operate on him. And he was the best surgeon he could have. No one else was brave enough to cut into Huobai.
His father came home only for the New year celebrations and no other day. Because when he saw Huobai or more like didn't see Huobai out of his room, on any other day except the Winter solstice, he said it was unnecessary to be home for someone who wasn't home.
And it was basically true. Huobai's only fun now was leveling up, streaming, and podcasting about games and other things. He went to school and then to his room, where he basically made his own studio.
Having money was now something he appreciated a lot more than before. He could buy the latest and the best machines, microphones and other things.
