Across the Roads with Dexter Lu Chapter 5

Lin Yuzhu came in with a few pieces of dirty clothes and asked if there was anything to wash. Logan Fei gave her the school uniform, then pulled it back and took out a flower from his pocket.

"Hey, the little girl gave it to you?"

Logan Fei peeled off the outermost layers and said, "This is a gift from a little boy."

Lin Yuzhu seemed to have heard some joke and said disdainfully: "Even your mother is fooled. It doesn't matter. She doesn't care who you date. She's just afraid that you won't be able to find a partner in the future."

"My mother didn't run away." Logan Fei pulled off the small stem below the calyx, and then clamped the flower into a book.

Theo Shen didn't go to work today and was doing homework at home. He heard the noise before Logan Fei entered the house. He stopped writing and waited for Logan Fei to come in. He smiled and said, "Have you eaten? I can smell the fish being cooked at your house." It tastes good."

"No, you and grandpa will come over and eat together later." Logan Fei walked to the bookcase, "Do you have a dictionary? A big one."

Theo Shen found a copy for him: "Why are you using it?"

Logan Fei weighed it and said, "Study." He went back and pressed the dictionary on the book with the flowers. He wanted to make a specimen of the rose. Remember, pressing it like this would be enough.

Dexter Lu didn't eat or do his homework at night, so he stayed in bed. He woke up hungry in the middle of the night. He got up and wanted to find something to eat. When he passed the big study, he saw a bright light.

The large study room was reserved for Marshall Lu's exclusive use. No one else could go in. He stood at the door and scratched the crack in the door and saw Marshall Lu still working. After going downstairs and bringing a plate of snacks back up, he went straight in without knocking on the door.

Marshall Lu looked up and saw him standing at the door and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Dexter Lu replied: "I fell asleep and woke up hungry."

Marshall Lu smiled, collected the documents on the table, and said, "Come here, I'm hungry too."

The father and son ate some together. Dexter Lu ate more and stuffed his mouth. Marshall Lu handed him his cup and asked him to take it. I took a sip of tea and felt bitter.

"How can you sleep if you drink strong tea so late?"

"I'm afraid of being sleepy. You can go to bed after eating. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."

Dexter Lu suddenly couldn't remember what happened that day. The conflict between him and Marshall Lu was cyclical and would break out every once in a while, but the relationship between father and son returned to peace after that.

He said: "I haven't finished my homework yet."

Marshall Lu had no choice but to say, "Then you go get it and sit across from me to write. No one of us can argue with the other, okay?"

He nodded and went back to his room to get his textbook. On the large desk, the two sat opposite each other and worked. Dexter Lu was immersed in his homework, and his efficiency was higher than usual.

"What's wrong?" Marshall Lu put down the document and found Dexter Lu looking at him.

"I don't know one question."

Putting down what he was doing, Marshall Lu explained the topic to him. A piece of draft paper was neatly written on it, and all three methods of solving the problem were explained. Dexter Lu put the paper into the book and felt that Marshall Lu explained it more clearly than the teacher.

"It's three o'clock, go and get some sleep."

"Well, I'm leaving then." Dexter Lu hugged his things and prepared to go back to the room. Seeing that Marshall Lu hadn't rested yet, he said, "Don't die suddenly from exhaustion."

Marshall Lu was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but looked at his back as he walked to the door and couldn't laugh. He called him in a deep voice: "Lulu."

He turned around and Marshall Lu said again, "Sorry."

Dexter Lu didn't say anything, opened the door and went out. He didn't need to apologize. Marshall Lu had apologized to many people, but he was not included.

In the morning, the driver asked if he still needed to pick him up after school today. Dexter Lu thought for a while and said, "I'd better pick him up." The miserable scene of holding his stomach while taking a taxi yesterday still lingered in his mind, and he was afraid.

I didn't act like a monster all morning. I listened carefully in class, went to the toilet carefully after class, and at most I just watched the scenery in the corridor. When he had seen enough, he turned around and leaned on the railing. He looked up and saw Logan Fei standing at the door of the classroom.

Look at him and smile.

"why are you laughing?"

"Didn't you say you liked me yesterday? I'll give you some benefits."

Dexter Lu remembered that he had indeed said that. He stared at Logan Fei and said, "If two people are in different schools, it is equivalent to a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships will not have good results, even if they are childhood sweethearts."

Logan Fei held his trouser pockets and leaned against the door frame, like a model, pretending to be serious and asked: "What should we do?"

"Let's change it. Besides, childhood sweethearts are no longer popular now." Dexter Lu walked to the door and leaned against the wall. "You, my classmate, are now popular."

At noon, a group of boys from his classmates went to the school cafeteria to eat. Dexter Lu was waiting in line for noodles, and Logan Fei was standing in front of him. He hadn't decided which one he wanted, and was struggling when a boy came over and jumped into the queue.

"Why did you jump in line?"

The boy stood behind Logan Fei, turned his face and said, "We are together."

Dexter Lu got angry when he was hungry: "Who cares if you stay together or break up? It's not okay to jump in line."

Logan Fei could hear the noise even though he was wearing headphones. He took a step forward, grabbed Dexter Lu's arm and pulled him forward. He placed the person in front of him and said, "I want you to buy it first."

Dexter Lu was alive, but his arm was still grabbed. He turned around and said obediently: "Thank you, boss."

Logan Fei let go of his hand and patted the back of his head gently. After finding a seat on the table, it was the second time the two of them had dinner together. Dexter Lu watched Logan Fei pick out green onions and said, "Give it to me."

Logan Fei picked it up and was about to throw it into his bowl, but when he raised his hand, he saw his mouth open, with the words "Waiting to be fed" written on his face.

After Dexter Lu finished eating the chopped green onions, he still stared at his bowl and asked, "Do you want to eat the chicken legs? I'm ready."

Logan Fei finished the noodles and chicken drumsticks in a few big mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth and left without waiting for him. When I walked to the door of the cafeteria and looked back, the guy probably wanted to catch up after finishing his meal quickly, and his face was red from choking.

Dexter Lu didn't have time to drink the soup, so he put down his chopsticks and ran. As soon as he came out of the cafeteria, he saw Logan Fei drinking soda under the tree. He walked towards there, but before he got there, Logan Fei stepped out of the way.

The classroom was noisy, even before the lunch bell rang. The two people came in front and back, Logan Fei pulled out a chair and sat down, Dexter Lu crossed his legs and sat face to face with each other.

"I kind of want to hit you." Logan Fei took out a paper for the afternoon class without raising his head.

When Dexter Lu saw the empty big question, he quickly picked up a pen and said, "I can! I'll tell you!" He recalled the ideas and methods Marshall Lu told him, and became a teacher.

After Logan Fei finished writing, he raised his hand and patted his head as a compliment.

After school in the afternoon, Dexter Lu called the driver in advance and said there was no need to answer the call. While sweeping the floor, he looked at the students walking out. When he saw Logan Fei coming out of the teaching building, he quickly swept the floor and left early.

"Are you riding a motorcycle?"

Logan Fei didn't ride or answer, and went straight to the bus stop sign. Dexter Lu had never taken a bus before, and he couldn't figure out the stop name on the stop sign. He took out several banknotes from his pocket, the smallest denomination was fifty yuan.

When a bus arrived at the stop, Logan Fei lifted it up with his long legs. He quickly followed and stuffed a stack of fifty yuan into the coin slot. Logan Fei grabbed his wrist and threw a few steel balls with his other hand.

It was always very crowded after school and get off work. Logan Fei pulled him to the back and slowly squeezed him to the window. He turned around with difficulty and came face to face with Logan Fei.

Logan Fei lowered his eyes and pinched his cheek three times. Dexter Lu felt his face hurt, raised his head and asked, "What are you doing? My face is getting bigger and bigger as I pinch it."

"This is what you owe today."

"What's wrong with me?" Dexter Lu tried his best to recall and said, "The other team will eat your green onions and spend your steel coins. But am I not your little brother? You mustn't love me?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly let go of the armrest and pinched Logan Fei's face, saying, "I've given you a lecture." When the next stop arrived, the driver slammed on the brakes. He lost his balance and was a little unsteady, but there was no need to worry about being crowded with people. As for falling.

What's more, Logan Fei hugged him with one hand.

Dexter Lu's furry hair was filled with static electricity, and he leaned in front of him with his eyes wide open. Logan Fei felt that the sapling looked like a puppy, so he had to give it a tail.

"Why did the driver drive so blindly..." Dexter Lu stood up, avoiding Logan Fei's gaze, and changed the subject: "Just circle any question you don't know. I've studied well recently, and I'll explain it to you. "

Logan Fei laughed and turned around suddenly. He didn't know why. When the car stopped, Logan Fei got out of the car neatly. Dexter Lu's face was hot, but it didn't take long before he collapsed: He didn't even know where this car was going!

After getting off the bus and taking a taxi, it was already a little late when we got home. Wen Ning was eating by herself. After washing her hands, he went over to sit down, picked up the bowl and ate.

Wen Ning watched him gobble it up and said in surprise: "Lulu, don't you eat green onions?"

After a meal, he discovered that there were chopped green onions in the soup, and said stupidly: "I'm going to eat it today!"

After the light bulbs were replaced, the light in the yard was particularly bright. Theo Shen read in the yard to save electricity bills for his family. Logan Fei was doing his homework on the small table, because Fei De'an was always very loud when watching TV in the room.

"You also left that question? I have the answer."

Theo Shen went back and took the answer and analyzed it. Logan Fei looked at it twice and then wrote down a formula. When he started writing again, he suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and then crossed out the formula.

Then I drew a circle on the question number.
