Having gone to such great lengths, yet lacking even the courage to confess her feelings, the girl was instantly overwhelmed by feelings of regret and self-blame.

Collins, having lost his courage, dared not look Mike in the eye again and could only lower his head in shame.

"Did the journey go smoothly?"

Mike, who had already guessed as much, greeted the girl as if she were an old friend: "Come in and have a seat..."

The girl's behavior this time can be described as both bold and reckless, but now is not the time to hold her accountable.

And to be honest, Mike was under a lot of pressure before, and he only truly felt relieved when the girl appeared.

"Oh, okay. Thank you~"

Collins, whose confession plan failed, mechanically followed Mike into the room.

At this point, the situation couldn't get any worse.

After hitting rock bottom and rebounding, the girl calmed down completely and even had time to reflect on the reasons for her failure.

Just then, Connie's grandmother and Peggy, having heard the commotion outside, came out of the room at the same time.

Peggy glanced at Collins, whose hair was slightly disheveled and who looked disheveled, in the living room, then turned and went back to her room.

Girls are generally more mature than boys.

Moreover, Peggy has her own pride. Despite her easygoing demeanor, she, like Sheldon, believes that humans and monkeys cannot be true companions.

In short, there is a natural gap between highly intelligent geniuses and ordinary people.

Ordinary people simply cannot comprehend the world of geniuses.

In this way, the three geniuses, Mike, Sheldon Jr., and Peggy, naturally fall into the same category.

Therefore, Peggy didn't care how many girls Mike dated, because she knew that she was the only one who would stay with him in the end.

This is the confidence of a genius.

In this situation, Peggy, who was confident in her looks, understood that the only problem standing between her and Mike was time.

Peggy needs to grow up quickly and become a great beauty.

This also explains why Peggy got angry when Mike told her she wouldn't grow tall.

On the other side, Connie's grandmother, who was also in the living room, looked at the girl next to Mike with a bit of surprise at first, and then showed a knowing smile.

With an incredibly positive attitude, her favorite thing to do is gossip.

"Mike, there's still steak and red wine in the fridge. You can enjoy it with this girl..." After greeting the two, Grandma Connie gave Mike a meaningful look before turning back to her room. "Sigh, getting old... I get sleepy... and my hearing isn't so good anymore..."

Connie's grandmother left us with her constant musings.

Although it sounded like an old woman lamenting the passing of time, Mike knew that Grandma Connie was subtly reminding him that no one would disturb his "good time" tonight.

"Would you like something to eat first?" Mike asked the girl after the two of them were left in the living room.

"No, I'm not... hungry..." Collins, with his good upbringing, was about to be polite when his stomach rumbled, making the girl unable to continue.

A blush crept onto the girl's cheeks.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Mike asked in surprise.

The girl was so focused on confessing her feelings that she rushed over and didn't have time for dinner.

Before she could even confess her feelings, one unexpected event after another occurred.

Things seemed to be developing in a strange direction, and Collins, realizing this, became increasingly embarrassed.

Okay, without needing a reply, Mike understood everything just by looking at the girl's reaction.

"Have some snacks first, I'll go make you something to eat..."

There were dried fruits and cookies on the living room table. After giving the girl some instructions, Mike went to the refrigerator to get some ingredients and then went straight to the kitchen.

Before long, a simple dinner was prepared, including a pan-fried steak and a glass of hot milk.

When Mike brought out the food, Collins seemed to have regained his composure.

The girl, sitting gracefully on the sofa, regained her serene expression and exuded a unique charm.

"Thank you~"

After the food was placed in front of him, Collins politely thanked him before enjoying his belated dinner.

I must say, people who have received a good family education are just different.

Even when eating, she exudes elegance.

"You came here alone so late at night, are you planning to elope with me?" Mike asked with a hint of mischief after the girl had almost finished eating.

He hadn't forgotten how much trouble this elegant girl had caused him before.

If something were to happen to Collins this time, the Shawn family would definitely come after Mike.

"Cough, cough... I didn't~"

Collins almost choked on her question. After tidying up the messy plates in front of her, she turned to Mike and confessed, "The reason I came here is actually to tell you that I like you."

"You may not care about these things, but I still want you to know..."

Perhaps to avoid any regrets, or perhaps because Collins was about to go to college and thought the two of them would never have the chance to meet again.

So the girl blurted out everything that was on her mind.

Then, as if waiting for the other party to pronounce judgment, he stared at Mike anxiously.

Would you like some red wine?

After a moment of silence, Mike picked up two glasses of red wine from the side, handed one to the girl to help her calm down, and then continued, "Actually, I'm not that picky about girls. As long as they're pretty enough, I like them. You happen to fit my aesthetic..."

This is the talk of a complete scumbag.

Collins clearly understood what Mike was trying to say, and his expression became extremely complicated.

Girls at the age of dreaming are definitely hoping to find a pure love.

Mike's answer was quite upsetting.

Good news: Mike seems to have feelings for Collins too.

Bad news: Collins can't be the only one.

"Give me another glass of wine~" Collins, once again caught in a dilemma, downed the glass of red wine in his hand in one gulp.

"Are you sure you want to drink?" Mike asked seriously.

In this situation, if the wine is to be drunk, then there's something to say about it.

"Drink, why not drink!" Collins, who had only drunk a glass of red wine, seemed to be already tipsy.

Since both parties were interested and Mike wasn't at a disadvantage, there was naturally no reason for him to stop them.

After a few drinks, Collins grew bolder, and his gaze toward Mike's handsome face became increasingly brazen.

She needs to vent...

So, the drinking session slowly moved from the living room to Mike's room.

[Charm attribute +20]...[Flexibility attribute +3]...[Dance experience +66]...

It has to be said that Collins truly deserves to be the cheerleader of her school. Not only is her appearance on par with Regina and the other girls, but her "kung fu" skills are also no less than Regina's.

Chapter 277 Communication

The next morning, Grandma Connie was baking beef jerky and gingerbread, easily preserved foods, in the kitchen, clearly preparing provisions for little George's trip.

Seeing Mike come out, she jokingly asked with a smile, "Mike, isn't your little girlfriend up yet?"

Meanwhile, in the dining room connected to the kitchen, Peggy was having breakfast. When she saw Mike, the little girl glared at him fiercely, as if he were a scumbag.

You should know that Mike caused quite a stir last night.

"Well, Collins went to bed late yesterday and won't be up for a while," Mike explained.

Because it was his first time, and he was carrying various emotional burdens, Collins' performance last night can be described as both terrible and playful.

At this moment, the girl is also tasting the bitter fruit of her indulgence and is resting in her room.

Outside, after Mike finished washing up and sat down in the dining room, Grandma Connie brought him food.

"How about trying Grandma's special dried meat and gingerbread?"

A plate was placed on the table containing only a glass of milk and an apple, along with dried meat, gingerbread, and other snacks.

This is clearly not a normal breakfast.

"Why are ours different?" Mike looked at the food in front of him, then at the nutritious breakfast in front of Peggy.

It's worth mentioning that the little girl had a delicious sandwich, a fried egg, and a fried sausage in front of her, along with a vegetable and fruit salad and a large glass of milk.

This breakfast can be described as lavish.

"That was Peggy's special request. If you want some, Grandma can make it for you in a little while." Although she said that, Grandma Connie didn't seem to intend to make a new breakfast.

This is clearly discriminatory treatment.

"Never mind, this jerky looks pretty good," Mike replied, showing his good judgment.

Actually, if you don't compare it to Peggy's, Mike's breakfast has meat and vegetables, milk and apples, so it looks pretty good.

After watching Mike eat the jerky, Grandma Connie immediately asked, "How was it?"

These jerky pieces will likely be George's food for his future trips, so it's very important that they taste good.

"It tastes good and it fills me up," Mike commented honestly.

Beef is naturally fibrous, and it becomes even chewier after roasting.

Moreover, these beef jerky are made with Connie's Grandma's special roasted meat recipe, so the taste is naturally superb.

"It seems the beef jerky was made successfully!" Connie's grandma smiled upon hearing the positive feedback.

Then, she leisurely sat down opposite Mike, tore off a small strip of beef from her plate, and while tasting it, whispered gossipingly, "Mike, what's the deal with that girl last night? I've never seen her before."

Peggy, who was diligently eating her breakfast nearby, also perked up her ears.

“You mean Collins? She’s a student at St. Mary’s High School, and she just graduated this year. To be honest, I don’t know her very well. We only met at last year’s summer league…” Mike briefly explained his relationship with Collins.

The more Connie's grandmother listened, the stranger her expression became. Eventually, she, like little Peggy beside her, developed a look of disdain in her eyes.

Connie's grandmother has always been a playful person, so she's seen plenty of scumbags, but someone as unique as Mike is quite rare.

"Eat slowly, Grandma is going to continue making beef jerky." After satisfying her curiosity, Connie's grandma got up and went back to the kitchen.

With only two days left before high school starts, she needs to make extra beef jerky to prepare for little George who will be leaving soon.

In the restaurant, after Mike finished chewing his "dry food," he drank the milk in one gulp, got up, and prepared to go back to his room to spend some more time with Collins.

After all, this good girl is about to go off to university, and the two of them will likely not see each other for the next six months.

If we have to part ways right after establishing a relationship, it would be a loss if we didn't take the time to communicate more.

"Mike, take this breakfast to Collins~" Just as Mike passed by the kitchen, Grandma Connie brought out a sumptuous breakfast.

Sandwiches, fried eggs and sausages, and other baked goods and beef jerky were piled up next to them.

This breakfast is just as good as Peggy's.

Seeing Connie's smiling face, Mike was certain that she was being treated differently.

Great, so you're going to play it this way!

Mike, who couldn't afford to offend Grandma Connie, decided to treat Collins properly later.

[Flexibility +1]...[Flexibility +1]...[Dance Experience +66]...[Dance Experience +66]...

Two hours later, Collins, who had been passively completing his morning exercise, left the room with a slightly rosy complexion, following Mike.

The girl already knew from Mike that her family was looking for her.

Therefore, Collins needs to go home quickly and give his parents an explanation.

"Collins, would you mind chatting with this old lady for a while?" In the living room, Connie's grandmother sat on the sofa, seemingly waiting specifically for Collins.

"Okay, okay~"

Feeling guilty for her "theft," Collins was startled when her "parents" caught her red-handed. However, her good manners led her to sit properly next to her grandmother, Connie.
