Chapter 103: Don’t you need to review before the exam? “That’s good…
"This seems... okay." Tim thought seriously for a while and found that it would be more convenient to do many things this way.
"Gotham has its own Luthor," Liu Shu sighed.
"Bruce doesn't go bald."
Was his first reaction to the name Luther actually bald? How disrespectful! Liu Shu watched him send messages, and it seemed like he was going to be busy again.
"Where's Xiao Wu?" Tim still lowered his head.
"She's resting."
"Well, I thought she had nothing to do every day."
"If you have nothing to do, of course you should just rest." What a matter-of-fact statement.
Hearing this, he suddenly put down what he was holding, looking somewhat envious. "That's great."
Liu Shu didn't know how to comfort him. After all, she didn't know how long he had been working.
"Do you mind having an extra travel companion for your holiday trip?" Tim didn't stay discouraged for too long. He didn't come here to sit back and do nothing.
"Actually, I haven't decided whether to go to the metropolis." Liu Shu looked at the person in front of him. A lot of things have happened recently, and going to another city might cause more trouble.
"The man you asked me about before, Paddy, his research results were favored by Luther," Tim paused. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Kryptonians are so plagued by disasters." How could I not understand that? As soon as the name of a famous entrepreneur is mentioned, I understand everything.
There must be something wrong with his family’s ancestral tomb, Liu Shu nodded.
"I've already warned him, but we still need to keep an eye on things over there," Tim said, leaning back on the sofa. He seemed relieved after saying this. "I happened to be on a business trip there too. The branch office must have a lot of work piled up."
"I thought you were going out with me." Didn't he just say travel companion? Liu Shu covered him halfway with the blanket. The air conditioner at home was not on, so it would be a bit cold.
"You agree?"
"Yeah." With him around, there's no need to wait for an encounter with Superman.
"Then let's go after we finish the exam."
"Exam?" Such a familiar yet unfamiliar word. Liu Shu instantly recalled her childhood. Then, she found that as a minor, she should still be in childhood, although it was the final stage.
"Yeah, it's the final exam. It's very easy and no preparation is required." Tim didn't seem to have any fear of the exam.
Yes, he doesn’t go to school.
"Do we still have a regular time?"
"Well," Tim said. Although he didn't care about school, he still knew this common sense. "Regular scores account for 20%. Our school is quite strict. Exams account for 50% of the final grade, and the remaining 30% is group work."
Hearing this, Liu Shu was a little confused, "Why do you say it's stricter?"
"These are similar to the grade calculation ratios in college, which is quite strict for ordinary high school students." Tim didn't seem to think of himself as an ordinary high school student.
"If it's 50%, without the regular scores and group assignments, even if I get full marks I'll still fail, right?" It seemed strict, but not in the way she thought.
After asking, Liu Shu started looking for her shoes on the ground again. She forgot where she took them off before going to bed.
"Don't worry, the teacher won't make things difficult for the students."
"You don't even go to school..." Liu Shu finally saw slippers in a place where they were never placed before, and she stood up.
"So you're worried about me?" Tim looked at her in surprise and chuckled. "I have a legitimate reason for asking for leave."
Liu Shu blinked, "Well, you've probably never been called to a parent's office."
"Of course." He seemed quite proud.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Liu Shu felt that his hair might not be presentable right now.
"Yeah." Tim took out a tablet from somewhere and started to get down to business.
After combing her hair and washing her face, Liu Shu looked in the mirror. After she got home, she removed the makeup that Winnie had put on her today.
She doesn't need to cover her dark circles every day. Liu Shu opened the door and walked back to the living room, only to find that the dining table at home was already set with food and tableware.
"Come and sit down." Tim patted the empty seat next to him, acting like he was at home.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Do you want me to help you cut this?" He picked up the knife next to the squid and asked Liu Shu.
There was an iron table knife and other cutlery that looked as if they had been brought from a store.
Liu Shu nodded first, then picked up the spoon beside him and said, "Ordering takeout... and they give these away?"
"That's about right." Tim didn't explain too much. He cut off a small piece of squid and handed it to Liu Shu's mouth.
"Thank you?" Liu Shu thanked her again with some confusion. Didn't she look like she had no arms?
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"That's good." After that, Tim fed her another bite.
"Actually..." Liu Shu wanted to say that he didn't need it, but looking at his serious expression, he didn't know how to say it.
"What's the matter?" Tim looked down at her.
"Nothing. Damian...his mother doesn't want him anymore."
"???" Hearing the strange words, Tim put down his fork in confusion, "Don't want him anymore?"
"For now, don't omit this word."
"These are not important. His mother actually doesn't want him anymore?" Tim supported his chin with his hand and thought for a long time.
"So she can't stand Damian either?"
Don't jump to such an improbable conclusion, Liu Shu frowned. "Of course it's not because of this."
"Why is that?" Tim tilted his head, not seeming to care much about the answer.
"She wants her...leader to think more clearly." Liu Shu decided to put it briefly.
"You could just say her father is mentally ill."
"That's it. She wants someone to find a solution, so she can't take care of Gotham anymore."
“…” Tim nodded slowly. He believed what Liu Shu said, but—“Do you think she didn’t lie?”
"At least she really didn't take Damian away." Liu Shu believed Talia because of this. She valued this child very much.
"Indeed, I'll check it out," Tim picked up his knife and fork and continued feeding Liu Shu next to him. "The leader of the Assassin's League is very dangerous. It's best not to have any contact with him."
"Well, but..." Before Liu Shu could finish his words, a mouthful of grilled squid was stuffed into his mouth.
"Only by eating well can you grow taller." He looked at Liu Shu sincerely.
It would be better if she wasn't blocking her mouth with food. Liu Shu chewed twice a little unhappily. Was he saying she was short?
"I'll take you to see the fireworks after dinner. Don't be angry." Tim said softly. He didn't want the person in front of him to hold a grudge against him.
"I'm not angry."
"I know that the Sea Kings from Atlantis are leaving today. There will be fireworks over there. We can go to a higher place to watch."
Liu Shu remembered the itinerary he had given her before, which seemed to include today's fireworks show. "Is it to celebrate their departure?"
"Why not understand it as a grand farewell?"
"I have a feeling that you don't seem to welcome their arrival, so there is naturally no such thing as goodbye." They didn't come for good reasons in the first place. When it comes to causing trouble in Gotham, the people Bruce funded are truly talented.
"You figured it out," Tim laughed. "It was Bruce who organized the fireworks show. It has nothing to do with me."
Then Bruce was definitely secretly mocking what Aquaman had done. He has always been like this. If you don't think too much about it, you have no idea what he is up to. Liu Shu thought of what he said to Jason today.
"I'm full," Liu Shu put down the spoon. There was still a pineapple bun in front of her. "I'll eat this when I get back."
"Then let's go now."
Liu Shu got into his family's car again. She had become very skilled at riding in a car, no matter who was driving or how fast it was going.
"Which technology is Luther interested in?" She turned her head and looked at the man who picked up the computer and started typing as soon as he got in the car.
Tim didn't stop when he heard her question, but he answered, "The resonance between arthropods and the human brain is a very advanced concept."
"Arthropods... spiders, huh?"
"There are others, but spiders are the most common. His research contains numerous descriptions of dreams, and those texts look quite like they were written by sleepwalkers. However, since Luther has drawn attention to this, we must pay more attention to it."
Spiders are scary-looking creatures, but they are beneficial insects that have research value and can prey on mosquitoes.
"Jumping spiders are still very cute." Liu Shu had seen a wild one at home. She didn't kill it, so she just let it stay in the cracks of the house. It was okay. Jumping spiders don't eat people, and she hasn't seen it again in this season.
"Afu will drive every spider out of the manor. If you have a pet like that, it's best not to bring it to him." Tim said casually. He had no objection to keeping pets, but Afu was different.
"Is that so?" Liu Shu nodded. She had been hiding in various corners of the manor before, but hadn't seen a single spider. She thought it was because the weather was too cold.
"But if you really want to bring it, be sure to tell us." Tim closed his computer. It seemed that he had finally finished working overtime.
"I only have Di Ting, and it's still at your house." They only met for a short while today, and Liu Shu couldn't even tell like an ordinary parent whether his pet had gained weight or lost weight, because Di Ting wouldn't change its body shape at all.
"How about we talk about something else?" Tim knew that this was almost like borrowing money and not returning it, and he couldn't tell her this without feeling guilty.
"Is it almost time now?" Would it be a little late to go out? Liu Shu looked out the window. If someone set off fireworks, the blooming flames could be seen in many places.
"Well, five minutes. Once we get there, we'll have to wait another five minutes before we can watch the fireworks." Tim looked at her with a smile.
"Not bad." Liu Shu could see his expression in the reflection of the car window. She was used to seeing his smile.
