When they arrived at the school gate, Mason Hayes also wanted to go to Lucas Green's house, but Lucas Green didn't let him go.

Mason Hayes looked at Caleb Johnson from a distance across the school gate. When he saw Caleb Johnson getting into Lucas Green's car, he sent him a message asking, "Why is Ah Ye suddenly so nice to you?"

Caleb Johnson took a look, pursed his lips, and replied: "Maybe it's because I wrote twelve physics papers for him for free."

Before Mason Hayes's message came, Caleb Johnson's phone was taken away by Lucas Green and placed on the cup holder. He put his hand on Caleb Johnson's forehead and said, "Be quiet for a while."

Caleb Johnson leaned back in the passenger seat. He felt very cold from the fever, but not sleepy at all. It seemed as if his thoughts had escaped the constraints of reason and were floating freely in his brain.

His cell phone rang again. Caleb Johnson couldn't help but reach for it, but Lucas Green slapped his hand again: "What are you doing?"

"What if there's business?" Caleb Johnson retorted in a low voice.

Lucas Green glanced at him and threw his phone into the back seat: "Forget it, Mason Hayes is not in your customer base."

Caleb Johnson looked at the phone on the back seat and sat up straight.

"How much money are you short of?" Lucas Green asked him.

Caleb Johnson paused and said, "I'm not short of money, but I want to save more."

He seldom tells the truth to others, but Lu Ye Zheng is different.

Lucas Green was the first person besides Quinn Roberts to see him injured. Quinn Roberts saw him lying on the ground and wanted to step on him, but Lucas Green didn't. Caleb Johnson had a different feeling towards him.

Fortunately, Lucas Green did not ask any further questions. He took Caleb Johnson home and asked the doctor to prescribe him a bottle of antipyretic medicine.

Caleb Johnson watched him insert the needle and put on the tape. He saw the doctor sitting beside him, as if he was going to wait until he finished the drip before leaving. Caleb Johnson said, "You go back first. I can remove the needle myself."

Lucas Green asked, "How do you pull it out yourself?"

"I can do it," Caleb Johnson said, and put his right hand on the back of his left hand to show off, "I can also inject myself."

The doctor stood aside, feeling a bit embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Caleb Johnson insisted that the doctor leave, so Lucas Green told him to leave.

The door was closed, and Caleb Johnson secretly reached out and grabbed the phone. There was a missed call on the screen, from a high school junior who had bought him a few essays and a speech manuscript.

Caleb Johnson glanced at Lucas Green and saw that Lucas Green had no intention of stopping him, so he called his junior back. As expected, his junior wanted to find him to do something.

Caleb Johnson asked his junior to wait for a moment, put down his phone and asked Lucas Green for paper and pen.

Lucas Green took out a notebook and a pen from his schoolbag. Caleb Johnson then asked Lucas Green to hold the phone for him so that he could record his junior's request.

Lucas Green, considering that he was a patient, held his phone for him and watched Caleb Johnson write down quickly on paper. Caleb Johnson's handwriting was so vigorous that ordinary people couldn't recognize it.

The junior student spoke for five minutes before he finished his request. Caleb Johnson then confirmed the salary with him and asked him to transfer it to his old account.

When he hung up the phone, Lucas Green's first question was: "Caleb Johnson, where did you buy your phone? Why is it so hot?"

Caleb Johnson put down his pen, touched his phone, and said, "It's not very hot."

"It's very hot," Lucas Green said, sitting a little further away and asked in a noble tone, "It won't explode, will it?"

Caleb Johnson looked at Lucas Green's proud look and found it very funny, so she said, "How could it be, but it is really hotter than usual."

Lucas Green sat a little further away and said, "Then turn off your phone."

Caleb Johnson lowered his head and operated his phone for a while, then said in a strange voice: "I can't turn it off..."

Lucas Green frowned and looked at Caleb Johnson: "What kind of crappy phone is this?"

Caleb Johnson asked him: "Can you help me take a look?"

Lu Ye Zheng walked over without any wariness and wanted to take the phone from Caleb Johnson. Caleb Johnson took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly put the phone against Lu Ye Zheng's face.

Caleb Johnson's phone had a small memory, so the temperature was very high after she had been on the phone for a long time. When he suddenly put it to his face, Lucas Green was actually stiffened by the heat.

After sticking with Lucas Green for two seconds, Caleb Johnson let go, leaned on the sofa, holding the phone and smiling.

"Caleb Johnson," Lucas Green came back to his senses and looked at him in disbelief. "How old are you?"

It's just a fever, but Caleb Johnson has become so childish. It shows that Caleb Johnson is childish by nature.

"You look so funny when you're scared." Caleb Johnson lay there, laughing so hard that his white teeth were exposed.

Lucas Green looked down at him and pretended to hit him. Caleb Johnson struggled to resist and stretched out his cell phone to scare him, but Lucas Green grabbed his wrist and pressed him against the back of the sofa, unable to move.

The IV was hung very low, and when the two were playing around, Caleb Johnson didn't notice his left hand that was hanging the IV, and he raised it to push Lucas Green's shoulder. When Lucas Green lowered his head, he saw Caleb Johnson's blood flowing out of the hose, so he quickly pressed his hand down.

"Alright, alright, stop it," Lucas Green confiscated Caleb Johnson's phone, turned on the TV for him, and questioned Caleb Johnson, "Which senior high school student is like you?"

Caleb Johnson retorted: "Are you like a high school sophomore?"

Lucas Green turned him to a children's channel, and a crudely made cartoon for five-year-olds appeared. Caleb Johnson refused, saying, "I don't want to watch this."

Lucas Green put the remote control on the TV cabinet and said to Caleb Johnson: "According to your mental age, you are only worthy of watching these."

Caleb Johnson closed his eyes and made his attitude clear.

Caleb Johnson always overdraws his energy. He fell asleep within a few minutes after closing his eyes. Lucas Green turned off the TV and sat next to him to read some information on the computer.
 
I started doing physics problems again, and had to keep an eye on Caleb Johnson who was on IV drip from time to time.

Caleb Johnson needed to be hooked up to two bags of medicine, and one bag was almost finished. Lucas Green wanted to wake him up, but Caleb Johnson was sleeping soundly. So Lucas Green searched on Baidu "how to change the IV drip" and watched several videos before he clumsily changed Caleb Johnson's IV drip.

He changed the IV drip and Lucas Green was sweating all over. Seeing that Caleb Johnson was still soundly asleep, he went upstairs to take a shower.

Unexpectedly, after taking a shower, Caleb Johnson was reading his physics paper with great interest.

"Does it look good?" Lu Yezhen walked downstairs and interrupted Caleb Johnson who was marking the papers and asked.

Caleb Johnson bypassed Lucas Green's question and asked, "Did you change the IV drip for me?"

Lucas Green agreed, and Caleb Johnson waved to him: "I will teach you the questions for free."

Lucas Green went over, sat next to him, and said, "My answer is correct."

"There's nothing wrong with your answer, but the process is wrong." Caleb Johnson was about to use his left hand to touch the draft next to the question when his arm was held down by Lucas Green.

"Just talk, don't move your hands." Lucas Green said.

Caleb Johnson withdrew his left hand and roughly told Lucas Green about the extra detour he took when solving the problem, and then extended it to the whole concept. He talked for half an hour and finished another bag of water.

He looked up at the drip pot, lifted the tape covering the needle tip with his right hand, quickly pulled out the needle, then pressed the needle hole with a cotton swab, turned around and asked Lucas Green: "Do you understand?"

Lucas Green looked at Caleb Johnson's skilled movements and frowned, "Why are you so..."

"When I was a kid, I took out the needles for my mother," Caleb Johnson said. "She was in poor health and often had to be given IV drips."

Lucas Green looked at Caleb Johnson, and Caleb Johnson asked him again: "Will you be troubled by what I said?"

Before Lucas Green could utter "no", Caleb Johnson's phone vibrated. Lucas Green took a glance and saw that the caller was Caleb Johnson's father.

When Caleb Johnson saw the word "Dad", he went from being relaxed to nervous. He took out his phone and said "Sorry, I have to take a call" and ran to the guest room.

He closed the door of the guest room and answered the phone. Cheng Lie yelled at him at the other end: "Where the hell have you been?"

Caleb Johnson looked at the time and it was already six o'clock. He had even forgotten the time he spent lecturing to Lucas Green.

"I'm at my classmate's house," Caleb Johnson said, "I'll be back soon."

"I won't bother to care about you if you die out there," Cheng Lie said, "I'm just telling you that Quinn Roberts sent you 5,000 yuan today, saying it's for your tuition. I've already spent it."

Cheng Zhan was stunned. He asked Cheng Lie: "What is the tuition?"

"How would I know?" Cheng Lie's voice, made hoarse by alcohol and cheap cigarettes, came out of the phone, "When the time comes, don't say I didn't tell you."

After saying that, Cheng Lie hung up the phone.

Caleb Johnson was stunned by the 5,000 yuan that Quinn Roberts gave him, but he really didn't want to contact Quinn Roberts, nor did he want to go home, so he pretended nothing had happened and walked out of the guest room.

Lu Ye Zheng was waiting for him outside the door with a forehead thermometer. As soon as he saw him go out, he "dropped" a thermometer on his forehead.

"The temperature has dropped to 36.9 degrees." Lucas Green glanced at the electronic screen and said.

Caleb Johnson looked up at Lucas Green, who was wearing pajamas, and said to him, "Thank you, I'm going home now."

"I ordered takeout," Lucas Green said, "Let's eat first."

"My dad wants me to go home," Caleb Johnson shook his head and sat on the sofa to organize his schoolbag.

Just at this moment, the doorbell of Lu Yezhen's house rang. He walked over to check the video and saw Mason Hayes standing downstairs of his house with food in his hands.

Lucas Green opened the door for him and turned back to Caleb Johnson and said, "The takeaway has arrived."

Caleb Johnson was a little surprised and asked him, "What kind of takeaway is so fast?"

Lucas Green didn't say anything, but only asked him: "Eat before you leave?"

"Okay," Caleb Johnson went over and picked up Lucas Green's paper, and said to him, "There are actually a few more knowledge points..."

Lucas Green quickly took his paper from Caleb Johnson's hand and said to him, "Eat your meal first, okay?"

Caleb Johnson curled his lips and sighed: "The current high school students are less motivated than the others."

Lu Ye Zheng ignored him and went to the door to open it for Mason Hayes.

When Mason Hayes entered the room, the first thing he did was to run to Caleb Johnson's side and touch his forehead, and asked Caleb Johnson nervously: "Is the fever gone?"

"Retreat." Cheng Zhan thought.

As soon as Mason Hayes arrived, Caleb Johnson became more reserved than in front of Lucas Green. He didn't say much and helped Mason Hayes open the lunch box. The three of them sat around the dining table to eat dinner.

Caleb Johnson ate a piece of meat, and his phone screen lit up. He opened it and saw that it was Quinn Roberts who sent him a message: "Did you get the money?"

Caleb Johnson put down his phone first, ate for a while, and then replied to Quinn Roberts: "No."

A few seconds later, Quinn Roberts called and Caleb Johnson answered the phone carelessly. Quinn Roberts listened to Caleb Johnson's breathing for a few times, and confirmed that Caleb Johnson answered his call, then asked: "Uncle didn't give it to you?"

"No." Cheng Zhan thought.

"This is my living expenses for this month," Quinn Roberts said, "I'll give it to you after my dad gives it to me next month."

Caleb Johnson was very confused: "Why did you give me that?"

Quinn Roberts paused and said, "I want to give it to you."

... Caleb Johnson was silent for a while, then said to Quinn Roberts, "Why are you doing this?"

Quinn Roberts did not answer, but only said: "I will give it to you directly next month."

Caleb Johnson hung up the phone and saw that Mason Hayes and Lucas Green were looking at him. He didn't want to explain, so he covered the lunch box and said that he was full and wanted to leave first.

"No," Lucas Green opened his lunch box again, pointed at the remaining meat and rice, and said, "Eat these."

Just as Mason Hayes was about to smooth things over, Caleb Johnson obediently lowered his head and started eating again.

After finishing the meal as Lucas Green requested, Caleb Johnson really said goodbye. When he was leaving, Mason Hayes wanted to see him downstairs, but Lucas Green stopped Mason Hayes, took the car keys, and said to Caleb Johnson: "I'll take you home."

Mason Hayes stared at the two of them blankly, always feeling that he had missed something.

Lu Yezhen still didn't know where Caleb Johnson lived. He turned on the navigation and found that Caleb Johnson's home was less than two kilometers away from his home.

"It's so close," Lucas Green said, putting the phone in Caleb Johnson's hand and saying, "Hold it for me."

"...I know the way." Cheng Zhan thought.

Lucas Green was stunned for a moment, took his phone back, turned off the navigation, and asked: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Caleb Johnson thought Lucas Green was stupid: "Didn't I deliver takeaway to you before?"

Lucas Green stopped talking and drove out of the community. Caleb Johnson pointed the way and said, "Turn right, turn right at the second traffic light, and drive straight ahead, and you'll be there."

Lucas Green drove forward according to Caleb Johnson's instructions and entered a one-way street. The environment on the street was not very good. It was obviously an old residential area in the urban area.

"We're here," Caleb Johnson pointed to a small iron gate in front and said, "Just drop me off there and I'll go in by myself."

Lucas Green stopped at the iron gate and saw that inside was an old building built thirty or forty years ago. He frowned almost imperceptibly and said, "I'll take you in."

Caleb Johnson looked around and said, "No, it's hard to open inside."

He opened the car door, said thank you to Lucas Green, and got out.

Lucas Green just drove forward, glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw a person in the dim light.

Quinn Roberts stood under the street light, staring in the direction of the iron gate. He threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, crushed it out with the sole of his shoe, and walked forward.

Lu Ye Zheng suddenly became alert. He had taken good care of Caleb Johnson for an entire afternoon and didn't want to see Caleb Johnson being beaten to death at his doorstep. He looked behind and saw that there were no cars, so he turned around, drove in the opposite direction for a short distance, and drove into the narrow iron gate.

Caleb Johnson was right. It was indeed difficult to drive in this neighborhood as the roads were very narrow. When Lucas Green drove in, he found a parking space and parked directly there.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Quinn Roberts turning at the entrance of the fourth building, so he trotted over and followed Quinn Roberts like a thief.

Quinn Roberts entered a unit. Lucas Green waited for him to go up two floors before he slowly walked up. He heard Quinn Roberts call out, "Xinxin."

Immediately following was the sound of keys falling to the ground, and Caleb Johnson's voice came from upstairs, sounding a little nervous: "What are you doing here?"

"I asked my dad for some more money, you take it." Quinn Roberts said.

Quinn Roberts's tone was not as fierce as Lu Yezhen had predicted, but rather contained a subtle hint of caution.

"What do you want to do now?" Caleb Johnson said with some annoyance, "I will take the money you gave to my father and return it to you tomorrow."

"Xinxin..." Quinn Roberts's voice became softer, and he asked Caleb Johnson, "Who was that person at noon?"

"Which one?" Caleb Johnson asked back.

"The one who kicked the door last time." Quinn Roberts said.

Lucas Green discovered that the relationship between Caleb Johnson and Quinn Roberts was not as simple as he thought.

He was not satisfied with just listening to the sounds, so he moved to the side again and took two steps up lightly. Lucas Green was tall, and he saw Quinn Roberts and Caleb Johnson's legs through the gap in the iron bars.

The two men were very close to each other, with Caleb Johnson's back pressed against the security door, with nowhere to retreat.

"A junior fellow student from the National High School." This is how Caleb Johnson described Lucas Green, without showing any trace of the childish and familiar look she had when she pressed her cell phone against Lucas Green's face that afternoon.

Quinn Roberts pressed the back of Caleb Johnson's hand. From Lucas Green's perspective, Quinn Roberts's entire body was covering Caleb Johnson.

Caleb Johnson seemed to push Quinn Roberts hard, and Quinn Roberts's legs took a step back and then pressed closer.

"What did you do--" Caleb Johnson suddenly lost his voice for a few seconds, and then struggled violently.

"Xinxin," Quinn Roberts said, "open the door, let's go in and talk..."

Caleb Johnson whispered something. Quinn Roberts paused and whispered, "Let me in, or I'll kill you at your doorstep."

The two argued for a while, and Caleb Johnson bent down to pick up the keys on the ground. Lucas Green immediately took a few steps down so that Caleb Johnson could not see him.

There was the sound of a key clicking into the door lock, and then the door closing.

Lu Ye Zheng couldn't tell how he felt. He just felt like he had discovered Caleb Johnson's secret, but it was more than that.

Whether Caleb Johnson is dead or alive has nothing to do with him, and whether he is heteroS3xual or homoS3xual has nothing to do with him... and those things about Caleb Johnson...

Lucas Green walked back to the car absent-mindedly and sat for a while. For some reason, he called Caleb Johnson.

Caleb Johnson was forced by Quinn Roberts to open the door. Not knowing what Quinn Roberts was crazy about, Quinn Roberts closed the door and stuffed the money into Caleb Johnson's schoolbag.

"Quinn Roberts, what on earth are you..." Caleb Johnson looked at Quinn Roberts calmly, "I won't help you cheat in the college entrance examination."

Quinn Roberts zipped up Caleb Johnson's schoolbag, looked at him and said, "I'm not asking you to cheat. My parents are planning to send me abroad."

Caleb Johnson wanted to touch his schoolbag, but Quinn Roberts pulled his hand away. Quinn Roberts pressed Caleb Johnson down, put his hand under his hem, and stroked Caleb Johnson's thin waist.

"My dad may be back at any time." Caleb Johnson pushed Quinn Roberts and said while suppressing his nausea.

"No, I just saw my uncle walking out of the community." Quinn Roberts stood outside for a long time before waiting for Caleb Johnson to get off Lucas Green's car.

Cheng Zhan felt dizzy again, and he said, "My fever hasn't subsided yet."

"Xinxin..." Quinn Roberts lowered his head and touched Caleb Johnson's cheek with his lips, but he didn't dare to K!ss him on the mouth.

"My wounds haven't healed yet," Caleb Johnson couldn't bear it anymore. He pressed Quinn Roberts's shoulder, pointed at the band-aid on his forehead, and asked him, "Quinn Roberts, are you possessed?"

Quinn Roberts turned his face away a little and looked at Caleb Johnson's disgusted and cold expression. Before he could say anything, Caleb Johnson's cell phone rang.

Caleb Johnson picked up the phone, and Lucas Green's voice came from the receiver: "Caleb Johnson, you got one question wrong on the test paper you gave me."

"Impossible," Caleb Johnson recovered immediately after hearing Lucas Green questioning his professional ability, and said flatly, "Which paper, which question?"

Lucas Green paused, and Quinn Roberts heard who the other party was, and deliberately leaned on Caleb Johnson and asked him: "Xinxin, who is it?"

He grabbed Caleb Johnson's hand and touched his hard spot. Caleb Johnson was recalling the test paper he had done for Lucas Green. He didn't notice Quinn Roberts's behavior and only said to Lucas Green: "Tell me? Which test paper, which question?"

Lucas Green calmly lied: "The second big question in Volume 8."

What is the correct answer?
 
"Caleb Johnson asked, "What's wrong with 6 square root 2?"

Lucas Green was speechless, so Caleb Johnson said, "Show me the process of solving the problem with the correct answer."

Quinn Roberts didn't get a response. Looking at Caleb Johnson who was talking seriously to the person on the other end of the phone, he folded Caleb Johnson's legs and pressed him down without saying a word. He pressed against the crack of Caleb Johnson's B*tt0cks through his pants. Caleb Johnson then reacted and frowned, trying to get Quinn Roberts to get off him. Quinn Roberts pressed the wrist holding the phone and the phone fell to the ground.

Quinn Roberts pressed him and kept thrusting his lower body, like a beast whose brain was controlled by desire. Caleb Johnson felt very uncomfortable at the base of his legs being pressed by that hard thing. He groaned softly, raised his knees and pushed hard against Quinn Roberts. Only then did Quinn Roberts raise his upper body and look at him as if he wanted to eat him.

Caleb Johnson ignored him, leaned over to pick up the phone, and said to Lucas Green: "My phone fell, did you take a photo?"

Lucas Green paused for two seconds and suddenly hung up the phone.

Caleb Johnson looked at his phone in confusion, then opened the text message and asked Lucas Green: "Can you send me the picture?"

Lu Ye Zheng drove home and saw the screen on the passenger seat light up, but he was in no mood to look at it. His entire mind was filled with replays of what happened over at Caleb Johnson's place.

He arrived home in a daze, and Mason Hayes asked him, "Is Caleb Johnson home yet?"

Lucas Green nodded, and Mason Hayes said, "Didn't you dislike Zhan Xin before?"

"I don't like it now either." Lucas Green opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water to drink.

"Really?" Mason Hayes also went to get a bottle and said, "I see you two have a very good relationship. Zhan Xin treats you differently than he treats others."

Lucas Green turned around, looked at Mason Hayes with a cold face, and said: "He is different from the one who beat him."

--That Sc*m who was punished for cheating in his senior year of high school beat Caleb Johnson so badly that not a single piece of his flesh remained intact, yet Caleb Johnson actually opened the door for him.

Caleb Johnson is hopeless, a Stockholm who is rotten to the core.

"Quinn Roberts?" Mason Hayes said, "Zhan Xin really hates him, can't you see that?"

Lucas Green thought about the four legs standing close to the door of Caleb Johnson's house, drank some ice water, and said in a muffled voice: "I can't tell."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where will my birthday party be held next month? Can you give me some advice..."
