American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Finally, you have three days left..."

As the sound faded away, the figure of Angel Number One disappeared from the sofa.

"What will happen in three days? Explain yourself!" Bruce, who was being warned without understanding what was going on, rushed to the window and shouted his question.

Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer anymore; Angel Number One had already left.

……

Chapter 456 The Path Back to One's True Self

'This can't go on, I'll be driven crazy by these prayers soon...'

Bruce, whose mind was suddenly filled with too much information, realized that he had to quickly find a way to "solve" the believers' prayers, otherwise the chaotic sounds would really "explode" his brain.

"Perhaps I can turn those prayers into written documents and present them to me, like the materials in a library..."

As Bruce was thinking this, a large filing cabinet appeared in front of him.

'Now the problem seems to be solved...'

Before Bruce could even break into a smile, more filing cabinets appeared one after another in the small living room.

Two, four, six, eight...

Even after the living room was completely filled, filing cabinets kept appearing.

"No, maybe they should be turned into sticky notes..."

Bruce, buried in the filing cabinet, thought of his girlfriend's habit of sticking notes on her phone.

The key is that it doesn't take up much space.

Then, the filing cabinet in the room disappeared instantly, and what appeared next was a dense collection of sticky notes.

Perhaps the believers had too many wishes, even though they were expressed in small sticky notes. Those notes covered the entire room, and even Bruce was wrapped in small pieces of paper, looking like a "mummy."

"NO, no, no~" Bruce tore off the sticky note stuck to his face, and looking at the spectacular sight of sticky notes all over the room, he felt his head hurt even more.

Finally, he inadvertently spotted his own office computer in the corner.

"Maybe they should be turned into folders."

Bruce snapped his fingers like Angel Number One, and then all the little notes in the room disappeared. Looking at the office computer screen, there were rows of folders waiting to be processed.

"Let me see how much work I have!" Bruce lunged at his computer, eager to check his wish list, then he was startled: "Damn it, there are over a million messages waiting to be processed..."

"Is God's work so busy? Does he have time to rest?"

After complaining for a while, Bruce reluctantly accepted reality and began to try to get to work: first, he eliminated the unrealistic wishes, then ignored the meaningless prayers, and then he categorized the wishes...

As Bruce worked, he found a method and became increasingly adept at it, even losing track of time.

Until his girlfriend came home from get off work.

"Bruce, it's the weekend, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Grace asked her boyfriend, who was sitting in front of the computer.

The two had been in a relationship for many years, and apart from not being legally married, they were practically indistinguishable from a real couple.

Weekends are usually private time for the two of them, and they often hold romantic little activities such as candlelight dinners.

"Anything is fine~" Bruce, busy with his work, didn't even look up.

"Okay~" It was rare to see her boyfriend working so seriously, so Grace shrugged and didn't disturb him. She went to the kitchen to prepare dinner by herself.

More than half an hour later, a sumptuous steak dinner was served on the table, along with red wine and candlelight, creating a romantic atmosphere.

"Bruce, dinner's ready!" Grace called to her boyfriend as she finished preparing the candlelight dinner.

"You eat first, I'm busy right now." Bruce was still engrossed in his work and had no time to pay attention to his girlfriend's romantic thoughts.

"This..." Grace's smile faltered, but not wanting to disturb her boyfriend's work, she finally said, "Okay~"

However, it was clear that she was already a little angry.

After quietly finishing her steak alone, Grace glanced at her boyfriend, who was still working in the corner of the living room, and got up to put away the red wine and candlesticks.

Another ten minutes or so later, the girl finished washing the dishes in the kitchen.

Then, she specially made a cup of warm milk and brought it to Bruce's computer desk, asking, "How's work going lately? Why don't you take a break and have dinner first?"

Feeling his girlfriend's concern, Bruce looked up and smiled, saying, "I do have some good news to share with you. Next Monday, I will be taking over Evan's job and officially becoming a TV host."

"Really? That's great!" Grace happily hugged her boyfriend's head, feeling happy for him.

She knew that becoming a radio host had always been her boyfriend's wish.

“But before that, I need to take care of these documents.” Bruce pushed his enthusiastic girlfriend aside, indicating that he was still busy.

“Alright then, sir. But please drink some hot milk before you start work, it’s good for your health…” Grace urged her boyfriend.

Health is the most important thing...

Then, under his girlfriend's watchful eye, Bruce downed his milk in one gulp, wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth, and said, "If you're bored, you can go and rest first; you don't have to wait for me."

……

More than an hour passed, and Grace, who was curled up on the sofa watching TV alone, couldn't help but yawn.

Turning my head, I saw my boyfriend still working diligently.

"I'm going to rest now. You should also be mindful of the time and get some rest. There's always tomorrow..." Grace got up and greeted her boyfriend.

She found that the other person was still engrossed in their work and didn't even look up, making it seem as if she had spoken to a deaf person.

Then, looking somewhat dejected, Grace turned off the television and went to her room alone.

The living room fell completely silent, with only the sound of keyboard typing remaining.

Back in her room, Grace couldn't fall asleep at all. She thought back on all the little things she and her boyfriend had shared over the years, and his unusual behavior in the last few days.

Slowly, the girl's brows furrowed.

If Bruce's dream is to become a radio host, then Grace's dream is for her boyfriend to propose to her.

Or rather, building a happy little family with Bruce is the girl's ultimate wish.

But as time went on, the girl was starting to have trouble figuring out her boyfriend's thoughts.

To boost her confidence, Grace put on a sexy nightgown that she wouldn't have dared to wear before, intending to deepen her relationship with her boyfriend.

"Honey, do you think this set of pajamas looks good on me?"

Behind the half-open door, Grace flirtatiously tossed her hair while seductively beckoning her boyfriend with her finger.

However, all her charm seemed to be sold to a blind man.

Bruce, who was engrossed in his "work," glanced up at his girlfriend and said, "It's getting late, you should get some rest. I still have a lot to do here."

Upon hearing this, Grace's charming expression froze on her face, and she could only return to her room dejectedly.

……

The next morning, when the girl came to the living room, she found her boyfriend asleep on the computer desk.

Feeling sorry for her boyfriend, Grace quickly put a coat on him and then went to prepare a hearty and nutritious breakfast.

After breakfast, to help her boyfriend relieve work stress, the girl suggested that the two of them go out for a walk together.

However, her suggestion was once again rejected by Bruce, who used being busy with work as an excuse.

……

Before he knew it, it was evening again, and Bruce had finally finished dealing with the prayers of more than a million believers.

"Honey, how about we go out for a big meal?" Bruce, feeling relaxed after finishing his work, finally noticed his girlfriend, who had also spent the day at home with him.

“Okay, we can go have a seafood feast…” Seeing her boyfriend return to normal, Grace smiled and planned, “After the feast, we can play some games when we get back. I’ve already prepared my pajamas.”

Just as the girl was making plans for the evening, Bruce finished his work and refreshed his computer screen.

Then he saw that there were more than three million more pieces of information waiting to be processed in the computer files.

"F**K~" Even with Bruce's optimistic personality, he couldn't help but want to curse at this moment.

Who could handle this workload?

"What's wrong, Bruce?" Grace asked with concern when she saw her boyfriend suddenly slump in the computer chair, looking as if all his energy had been drained.

"Nothing~" Bruce shook his head numbly, resignedly saying, "I think I have work again, lots and lots of work..."

"Shall we still go out for a big meal?" Grace asked cautiously.

This time, Bruce didn't answer. He just silently lowered his head, immersed in "sadness."

Emotions are contagious. The girl seemed to understand something and fell silent.

After a long while, a cell phone ring finally broke the silence.

"Hello, Susan. What's up?" Bruce seemed much more at ease when his beautiful colleague called.

"I just wanted to check if your headache from yesterday is better..." Susan's voice came through the phone. "I also wanted to ask if you have time; I made an extra dinner and no one's eating it..."

Bruce, who had been tormented by "work" all day, immediately had a little idea when he heard the beautiful woman's invitation. He replied, "I'm fine now, and I haven't had dinner yet."

"Okay, sure...see you in a bit..."

After hanging up the phone, Bruce, finding it troublesome, quickly categorized the wish lists of his followers on his computer, and then snapped his fingers to "fulfill" all the more plausible wishes at once.

"That's it, I was so stupid before." Bruce, who had just finished the job roughly, leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face, completely unlike his previous dejected self.

"I just heard that a woman asked you out to dinner?" Grace finally found an opportunity to ask her question.

"It's a company dinner. You know, I was just promoted to host, so I definitely need to build good relationships with my colleagues." For some reason, Bruce didn't think much before coming up with a perfect excuse.

"If that's the case, then it's definitely necessary." Faced with her boyfriend's perfect reason, Grace didn't say much more.

"Thank you for understanding~" Bruce gave his dejected girlfriend a guilty hug and comforted her, "I'll spend time with you again tomorrow when I'm free. We can go eat the seafood feast you wanted."

After calming his girlfriend down, Bruce, fearing he'd give himself away, grabbed his coat and headed outside, not forgetting to fix his hair along the way.

After he left, Grace's expression grew increasingly suspicious.

The woman's intuition told her that something bad was about to happen.

So, as Bruce drove blissfully towards his beautiful colleague's house, he didn't notice that a taxi was following him.

When Bruce arrived at Susan's house, he immediately noticed that she had dressed up specially for the day and was wearing perfume.

They're both adults, and the beautiful female colleague has already been quite flirtatious.

Sure enough, upon entering the room, Bruce was greeted by a romantic candlelight dinner.

……

Unspoken understanding prevailed. After a few glasses of red wine, the two silhouettes on the curtains slowly drew closer and finally pressed together.

"Damn it! A colleague's get-together!!!"

Grace, who had been crouching outside the window for quite some time, knew exactly what had happened when she saw this scene.

In a fit of rage, she violently kicked open Susan's front door.

Then she saw her boyfriend kissing a beautiful woman, their clothes disheveled and the atmosphere ambiguous.

Although the girl had anticipated this situation, she still found it hard to accept when she actually saw it. So, she chose to leave and avoid seeing it altogether.

"Grace... what are you doing here..." Seeing his girlfriend kick the door open and leave, Bruce quickly chased after her: "Let me explain, Susan really is my colleague. That was just an accident..."

"An accident? I saw it all~" Seeing her boyfriend still lying, Grace stopped and said disappointedly, "We're over!!!"

After saying that, the girl left without looking back, heading straight for her parents' house.

It seems that she is truly heartbroken this time.

"God help Grace to forget what happened before and come back to me." Only after you truly lose something do you learn to cherish it, and that's exactly the situation Bruce is in now.

Realizing that he would lose Grace completely if he didn't do something, he quickly used his superpowers to try and win her back.

But as the snap of his fingers was made, nothing changed; the girl still left.

In despair, Bruce suddenly remembered that Angel Number One had told him that his superpowers could not change the will of a human being.

"Mike, do you know what? Something really interesting happened today." Regina, who was lounging in her luxurious villa, pestered Mike, who was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
