Luke seemed to think it was quite amusing to let Alex misunderstand her like this, so as long as Alex was in class, she would answer questions according to her mood.
Alex often said: "You are so lucky, how come you always get the answers right?"
Luke said: "I copied it."
Alex said "Oh", touched his chin and said: "The case is solved."
The wound on Luke's face has almost completely healed, with only a few marks on his neck and the back of his hands. However, when he zipped up his school uniform as high as possible, it was completely covered.
After he regained his original appearance, Alex thought he was a handsome young man, young and clean, with fair skin, but a little thin. Ben was not tall, but his eyes were big and dark, which was a pity. He was nearsighted and wore glasses, which covered up his beautiful eyes.
Luke seemed to be very gentle, but he was actually a bit cold. After Alex became familiar with him, he found him very funny and interesting. He was very good except for smoking.
Alex thought of his friends, almost all of whom smoked, and they smoked much more heavily than Ben. He felt relieved thinking this way. At least Luke would not be covered in the stink of cigarettes. After he finished smoking, he would destroy the evidence and spray strawberry-flavored breath freshener in his mouth, which would make him smell good.
But he would advise Luke: "You should smoke less, it's really bad for your health."
Luke nodded every time, but didn't listen and did what she wanted.
And I don't know where he got so many stationery items. He always gave stationery items as gifts, giving erasers to this one and pens to that one. And they were all styles that you wouldn't find in the school stationery store. They were very beautiful stationery items and girls liked them very much.
Alex didn't use this thing, but he still collected a few of them.
However, some news was still circulating in the class, because no one knew the transfer student's background, but there was evidence: "He could answer the questions in class because he had the answers. He copied the answers for his homework every day."
As for his test paper, which was a test made by the school teacher himself, no one knew how he had answered the questions correctly.
Alex never came to exams, and he didn't attend evening self-study classes, so it was even more impossible for him to know.
He only stayed at school for one night every Thursday, but he brought a new three-piece set every week, and Luke helped him change. Every time Alex invited him out for dinner, Luke always declined. Alex asked: "You are not happy when I invite you out for dinner, do you just like to eat in the cafeteria?"
Luke nodded: "I like the cafeteria."
He is very self-disciplined. Once he sets his life track, he will not break it easily. He gets up at the same time every morning, goes to bed at the same time, and eats the same food. He always finishes today and never piles up today's work until tomorrow.
Alex thought the food in the cafeteria was unpalatable, but he knew that there was also a "small cafeteria" in the cafeteria, which was similar to the mid-range restaurants outside, with ordering food and a better environment. There was an open-air balcony on the top floor of the cafeteria, where students would have birthday parties or class gatherings.
He hadn't been to the cafeteria for a long time, and he couldn't find his meal card. Alex decided to treat him to a meal, but he was too lazy to squeeze in with others to apply for a meal card, so he went to the second floor of the high school as soon as the get out of class was over and grabbed a friend: "Dongdong, give me your meal card! No, just give it to me directly. How much money do you have in it? I'll give you a red envelope."
Li Dong was confused. Alex never ate in the cafeteria. Why was he asking him for a meal card?
"No, Brother Cheng, what should I do if I give you the meal card? What should I eat?"
"You swipe your girlfriend's card. I have someone to treat me to lunch at noon and I don't want to queue up to get a new meal card. You go ahead and queue up."
Alex really doesn't like being "crowded" because all kinds of people get close to him, with all kinds of smells, and some people really take advantage of the chaos to touch him. Alex has had his but.t touched more than once. Once he caught someone, and when he saw that she was a weak little girl, he could only sigh and let her go.
His fake mysophobia is almost the same as his real mysophobia, and he is too particular.
Li Dong immediately gave him the card and asked curiously, "Brother Cheng, have you got a new girlfriend? Of course, is this one prettier than the school beauty? Is she a freshman in high school? Which class is she from?"
Alex said no, "My deskmate." He put his meal card in his school uniform pocket and said with disdain, "That guy is really sick. He only eats in the cafeteria. What good food is there in the cafeteria?"
Many of Alex's friends knew that he had a deskmate, because they saw him when they came to the entrance of Class 4 to play with him.
Li Dong was surprised: "Brother Kecheng, isn't your deskmate a man? Did you get a new one?"
"It's him. I'm just treating him to a meal."
It’s not that Alex hasn’t had a girlfriend before. Yes, he did. She was very beautiful, could play the piano, was good at studying, and was a talented girl. From the looks of it, they were a very well-matched couple.
But they had been dating for a short time. The girl was more proactive. She held hands with Alex while watching a movie. She felt his sweaty hands and thought he was nervous, so she secretly wanted to k!ss him.
Before she even touched Alex, she was pushed away by him.
The girl was very surprised: "You, you..."
Alex was a little helpless, and said: "Sister, it's not your fault. I have mysophobia and I really...can't eat other people's saliva..." And your lipstick looks like it's poisonous.
Just thinking about it made him feel sick. Even if the other person was as beautiful as a fairy, he would find it hard to accept it.
The girl said it was okay at first, but she couldn't stand it anymore. Alex was more of a gentleman and waited for her to break up: "Relax, you dumped me."
He didn't want to make the little girl sad. After all, he was a 1.88-meter-tall man.
I didn't talk about it anymore after that. I felt like it made no difference whether I talked about it or not. I didn't feel any excitement. It was like finding a female friend and going out with her by myself. It was so dull and boring.
Alex still likes riding motorcycles and playing basketball. To him, these are far more vivid and interesting than women.
Li Dong was very curious: "Why did Brother Cheng invite his deskmate to dinner? Did he do your homework for you?"
"What a sh!tty homework! That idiot is a poor student! Illiterate! To tell you the truth, he is even worse than me. At least I can recite the multiplication table." Alex was embarrassed to say that someone packed his quilt for him, and even more embarrassed to say that his deskmate bought him buns every morning.
"Really?" Li Dong said with emotion, "What's his background? Is he the same as you? Does he have a mine at home? Your mother donated a building to the school to let you enter the fourth class!"
"You are the little prince of the Northeast Mine." Li Dong said, "Where is his mine? Have you asked about it?"
"Probably not," Alex's face darkened slightly when he mentioned this nickname, "I'm not sure either, maybe he's a relative of our father, and he loves him very much." He frowned, "It's so strange, doesn't my father always like good students?"
He swiped his meal card to invite Luke to the small cafeteria on the top floor of the cafeteria. Luke caught a glimpse of a card sticker on his card. The sticker was of a woman, not a female star, but someone of the same age.
He thought it was Alex’s girlfriend.
Luke flipped through the menu and ordered only one dish and a soup: "Order one more dish. It's enough for the two of us."
"You should order two more. Why did you order a vegetable and a vegetarian soup? How can this be enough? Where's the cat?" Alex scolded, "You are so thin for a reason, don't you know that, Ben?"
"If you order too much and can't finish it, it's a waste."
"Come here, Ben." Alex hooked his finger.
Luke rested her elbows on the table and leaned forward to listen to what he had to say.
"Ben," Alex exhaled hot air from his mouth and blew on his ears as he spoke, "eating more can not only make you taller, but also make you Ben. If you eat more meat and more tonic food, you can become like me, do you understand?" He laughed twice.
Alex has a lot of dirty jokes, but they don't make people feel vulgar. This may be because of his appearance. Luke didn't know what to say. He didn't eat so little on purpose, but he was used to eating only until he was 70% full. In addition, his living expenses were limited, so he didn't want to ask Ding Zhaowen for pocket money, so he could only save money.
It didn't have to be so miserable, but he fell ill just after the school started, and he had to buy school uniforms, two sets for each season. He didn't buy the summer uniform yet, and wanted to wait until next year when it gets warmer.
Alex probably has a rich appetite, he ordered a lot of dishes, no one could stop him, including steamed fish and braised lamb. He usually exercises a lot, so he has to eat a lot of meat to maintain his physical strength.
Compared to Alex, Luke ate very little. Alex asked him to eat more meat: "You are so thin and pitiful. I saw you coming out of the shower that day, and you were so pale and thin. It was so miserable. Are your family members abusing you?" He casually used the serving chopsticks to pick up a large and fatty piece of braised lamb for Luke.
He also has this strange habit when he goes out to eat with friends. He refuses to eat without using serving chopsticks and would rather sit alone and eat. Everyone says he has a spoiled brat syndrome.
Faced with this question, Luke chose to remain silent, lowered his head and ate the meat bite by bite.
Alex watched him eat and commented: "A gentleman."
Alex was quite picky about food and thought the stir-fried dishes in the cafeteria tasted just average, but he had a big appetite and kept complaining about the taste, saying this one was too salty and that one was too bland, but he still finished the food.
It was a sunny day today, and it was hot on the terrace. He was sweating all over.
Alex took off his school uniform.
He couldn't get used to living in the dormitory, and the biggest problem was that he wasn't used to sharing a room with others. Moreover, the two high school seniors who shared a room with him both had some bad habits that Alex couldn't stand: one would throw toilet paper on the floor and not clean it up after masturbating; the other would not wash his socks and underwear after wearing them, but would take them home to wash on weekends.
Alex doesn’t know how to wash clothes, so he just wears them and throws them away when he doesn’t want to wash them.
Now, the biggest problem for him in living in the dormitory is that the bed is small, followed by a small shower. He likes taking baths and waterfall-type showers, so he would rather not live in a dormitory. If he wants to take a shower, he has to hold it in until he gets home and takes a comfortable shower.
When the two of them left the cafeteria, Luke asked him, "Do you live in the neighborhood next door?"
"Yes, I couldn't get used to living in the dormitory, so when I became an adult, I bought a house next door to live in. In fact, it's right next to the wall behind the men's dormitory. I just climbed over the wall to get there."
"How can you climb over the wall? Doesn't the school have barbed wire? And there are surveillance cameras..."
Alex said nonchalantly, "I cut the wire mesh and moved the surveillance camera away. I created a blind spot, and no one usually goes there. You know that old dormitory building behind the gymnasium? It was very spooky a few years ago, with one person jumping off the building and dying every year. They say that the place is full of yin energy, haunted and unlucky, and even the security guards don't go there."
He was a little proud, his eyebrows raised: "But I don't usually need to climb over the wall, I come in openly."
"Why don't you go to evening self-study at night?"
"Because I'm going to take TOEFL classes."
"TOEFL?" Luke looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, but I did sign up, but I never went there once. I used this as an excuse to go out and play, and the teachers thought I was going to study abroad. So you see, they don't care about me now, and they don't get angry with me. As long as I don't cause trouble for them in class and don't affect other students, they treat me as if I don't exist."
Luke smiled and said, "You sit at the same table with me, and you only talk to me. Of course, you don't affect others, but only me, okay?"
"You don't count," Alex shrugged. "In the teacher's eyes, you and I are the same. The only difference is that I sleep in class and you dream in class."
Alex doesn't get along well with the students in his class because they are all good students. He doesn't play with those top students because the things they play are different from what he does.
Luke was okay. Although he loved to show off and pretend to be a good student and seemed to like studying very much, he was essentially the same kind of person as him. Alex quite liked him.
To walk from the cafeteria to the boys' dormitory, Alex had to cross the playground. He passed by the basketball court and someone called him. He ran over, grabbed the basketball and shot a three-pointer, causing some girls nearby to scream.
Alex threw a ball and ran away, refusing to be stopped: "I'm in a hurry to go home to take a shower and take a nap."
He ran to Luke and asked him sweatily: "Ben, is this your first time watching me play basketball? I'm handsome, right?"
Luke nodded and said handsomely: "I can see your basketball court from the balcony in my dormitory. I have seen it several times."
The school gate and the men's dormitory were in two different directions, and the two people went their separate ways. Luke did not return to the dormitory, but instead walked towards the sparsely populated old dormitory.
This is the dormitory building that Alex mentioned, where a student dies every year. After walking around, I realized that No. 6 Middle School covers such a large area.
He chose this place before, not only because of his relationship with Ding Zhaowen and Principal Zhou, who had not been in touch for many years, but also because this high school was really awesome.
The greenery and environment of No. 6 Middle School are ranked first among all the high schools in the province. The enrollment rate is also top-notch, and many talents are sent to Tsinghua University and Peking University every year.
So parents are scrambling to send their children in.
All the students in the class were studying very hard. In Alex's opinion, Luke was the only one who slacked off in class.
He was the only one who didn't take notes, while everyone else did. He was such a poor student, but he still had the nerve to say that he didn't take notes because he knew everything. Come on, that's not how you brag about being awesome...
Alex didn't believe it. Luke had a good temper, or was easy-going, and never explained.
Luke walked to the wall that Alex mentioned. There were indeed a few surveillance cameras here. There was a thick layer of dust on them, which looked very dirty, but no one walked here. It seemed that the students of No. 6 Middle School had more or less heard about the death of someone here.
Luke was very brave. He searched along the wall and soon found the blind spot that Alex mentioned.
He looked up and saw the green barbed wire that had been cut open. Next to it were some messy boxes of sports equipment that could be moved over to make it easier to climb over the wall.
Moreover, the glass on the wall was replaced with plastic, and even the edges of the plastic were rounded. Luke looked up at the monitor hanging on the tree trunk and calculated the angle and size of the blind spot - it was quite large.
At least if Alex climbs over the wall, there will be no evidence of him being caught by surveillance cameras.
He felt that Alex was very smart in some ways, because the surveillance camera was moved at just the right angle, and ordinary people would not be able to figure out such a delicate thing. Moreover, ordinary bad students would not know that they had to move the surveillance camera to climb over the wall, and they might even give the surveillance camera the middle finger.
Luke was standing in the blind spot, smoking a cigarette.
When he thinks too much, he needs to smoke a cigarette to wake himself up. Nicotine can help him think and help him stay alert. He is not very addicted to this. He buys the cheapest cigarettes and doesn't smoke much, so his throat doesn't hurt.
The next day was Thursday. Alex returned to the dormitory in the evening and bought a box of chocolate-covered strawberries. The strawberries were big, red and sweet looking.
Alex invited him to eat: "This is sweet."
Luke went over and saw the price on the strawberry box. A small box cost about 100 yuan. She had no idea what kind of strawberry could be sold at such a high price.
"You eat it, I won't eat it. Is there any salt here? You need to soak the strawberries in salt before eating them."
Alex was stunned for a moment: "You don't want to eat?"
"No."
"Don't you like it?"
"How do you know I like strawberries?"
"You idiot... If you don't like it, then why did you buy strawberry-flavored breath freshener and spray it all day long? It smells so good, dmn," Alex was so angry, "I saw this outside the fresh food supermarket today. It's so big and smells so good, so I bought a box. I bought it specially for you!" he emphasized.
He thought Ben was a good person and treated him well because he treated him as a friend.
Luke listened to his foul language and suddenly smiled: "I bought the strawberry flavor only because it was on sale at the time and was half the price of the mint flavor."
Alex was a little angry, but he couldn't vent his anger. Finally, he stared at him angrily and said, "You made me angry."
Luke said: "I don't like it, but I don't hate eating it either. I'll wash it." To be honest, he doesn't have any hobbies. He really doesn't have any particular favorites. If he has a hobby, he likes to analyze all kinds of things.
From the first time he went to his father's office, he could tell that the math teacher sitting opposite him was a chain smoker who smoked all the time, at least three packs of cigarettes a day.
It was not by chance that he saw these things. He could remember every detail of every person he saw, and those pieces of information would string together in his mind.
He enjoys analyzing an event or a person thoroughly.
Luke went to another dormitory to borrow some salt and soaked the strawberries.
Alex reached out and plucked a green strawberry stem and threw it away: "How long do you want to soak it for?"
"Soak for ten minutes," Luke said, taking off his glasses first, then his school uniform jacket. He turned his back to Alex and took off his inner clothes. Alex stared at his back and sighed again that he was so thin and white.
Luke put on a thin mid-length sleeve pajamas. He only brought a set of thicker pajamas, and now that they had been washed, he could only wear thin ones.
He sat on a chair and took off his pants, and Alex leaned beside him and stared at him: "Ben, I don't think I've ever seen you take off your pants in the men's bathroom."
Luke put on his pants and turned to look at him: "What?"
Alex picked the largest strawberry in the glass bowl with his slender fingers, blinked and said, "Do you have one as big as this?"
