Summary
Lex's 12th birthday, saved by Ms. Lois Lane
“You don’t want it. Hand it over,” she says, raising her eyebrow like the general does.
“Why should I?” The boy says. Lois squints and takes the thirty dollars she has on her out from her backpack, the sum total of what’s left of birthday money her uncle gave her. She keeps it next to her so the other girls boarding can’t steal it, and it’s literally her only route to snacks.
“This enough?” Lois says, waving it around.
“I’m not poor,” the kid scoffs.
One of the others fishes in his backpack and hands her some thick fancy card. “I’ll take it,” he says. “My mom’s cut off my allowance.”
Wow. The birthday invite’s even got some sort of curly script. Lois hates to say it, but she kinda gets why no one wants to go. Nobody likes her, but nobody bullies her. Maybe she should give this Luthor kid some pointers.

Summary
For a moment, fervent joy rushes up and towers over Fang Duobing like a wave, leaving him with weak knees and shaking hands. He's alive. Li Lianhua is alive!
He's alive. Fang Duobing's hands had also shaken as he'd turned over the corpse with Li Lianhua's beloved face, never even thinking to question the differences in its body. As quickly as it came his joy crashes back to earth, leaving Fang Duobing feeling vaguely numb.
He's been staring too long. Their eyes meet, Li Lianhua's posture stiffening slightly.
If he were younger, he'd have shouted the city walls down. As it is, he lets his gaze fall away, noting Li Lianhua's slump of relief as he does.
