American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

As Mike's good friend, George felt more prestigious when he went out to brag.

"I've said it before, I'm really not close to her," Mike said helplessly, reiterating his statement.

As Mike's popularity continues to rise, rumors about him and Regina are resurfacing at school.

Without a doubt, Regina was behind this again.

Thanks to the continued supply of Katie's energy drinks, Regina's figure has become increasingly rounded. This has somewhat diminished her dominance in the "perfect body" group.

Moreover, as the number of Mike's supporters grows, the group's popularity is gradually catching up with that of the "Devil Body Group".

Under the dual pressure of internal and external factors, Regina's status as the "Queen Bee" at school was seriously threatened.

In order to change this unfavorable situation, Regina naturally turned her attention to Mike again.

She once again tried to control Mike, hoping to use his popularity to stabilize her own position.

Of course, these are all Regina's one-sided needs.

As for Mike, adhering to the "three no's" principle, he doesn't have a good impression of Regina. If she wants to seek help, she will probably have to offer enough incentives.

In a corner of the cafeteria, little George noticed that Mike wasn't very interested in talking about girls, so he changed the subject to something more exciting, continuing, "Mike, you know what? Our opponent next Monday is Austin High School. They're a team that could compete for the championship..."

With the Summer League underway, the remaining teams are all incredibly strong.

The Melford Football Team, as this season's dark horse, has made it into the state's top ten, but in terms of overall strength, they are still at the bottom.

Unlike Melford, which is considered an easy target, Austin High School is a long-established powerhouse with a very deep history.

As a high school branch of the University of Austin, Austin High School has its own gymnasium—Austin Gymnasium.

The next match between Melford and Austin will be held at Austin Arena, a proper venue.

Given the exciting nature of the tournament, the next match between the top ten teams is very likely to be broadcast live by a local Texas television station.

Being able to host a live-streamed rugby game in a proper stadium filled young George with excitement as he dreamed about the future.

While listening to George's explanation, Mike's peripheral vision was suddenly drawn to a high school girl.

This girl has a great figure and dresses very boldly. She's wearing a plaid mini-skirt and a loose-fitting top with a very low neckline.

At that moment, there were still many empty seats in the cafeteria, but the girl carrying the tray walked straight to the back row.

This strange behavior gave Mike a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when she got to Mike's side, the girl suddenly tripped and fell flat on her face.

"Ah~"

With an affected gasp, the girl's plate flew into the air, and she deliberately fell towards Mike.

Mike's physique is now over 180 cm tall, and his reaction speed and agility far surpass those of ordinary people.

In addition, he was prepared in advance. When he saw that the situation was not good, he had already gotten up and moved aside, and caught the other party's flying plate.

As for the girl, she fell sideways onto the seat that Mike had been sitting in, amidst gasps of surprise.

Little George, unaware of what had happened, was splashed with soup by the impact of the girl falling.

He wiped his face and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

The girl who had fallen got up on her own. Looking at Mike standing to the side, only catching the plate, she felt a moment of disappointment.

However, the girl quickly composed herself and apologized with a guilty expression: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Because of her neckline, the girl appeared very sincere when she bowed and apologized.

Being a gentleman, Mike only glanced at it before looking away. He handed the plate back and said, "It's alright, just be careful next time."

Perhaps because it was premeditated, the girl's plate contained only a banana and an apple.

Mike's excellent sense of balance prevented the two fruits from falling.

The girl took the tray, her face full of gratitude, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you so much, Mike~"

Then, showing no sign of leaving, she continued, "I'm a fan of yours, can I get your autograph?"

The girl moved her plate aside, puffing out her ample bosom, clearly wanting Mike to sign her clothes.

This action clearly indicates an attempt to seduce.

"Bitch~"

The other girls in the cafeteria were watching this side, while secretly looking down on this bold girl in their hearts.

Even Regina, who was sitting in the middle, had a hostile look in her eyes.

Mike, the person involved, frowned slightly, because the girl's behavior was simply too blatant.

Mike then responded curtly, "Sorry, I didn't bring a pen. Maybe next time for an autograph."

"I brought it." The girl seemed oblivious to the atmosphere and reached into her skirt to take something out.

Chapter 79 Remarks on the launch

It seems there's nothing more to say...

Okay, as someone who's terrible at writing and has a severe case of laziness, I solemnly promise here: I'll try to finish this morning's update before midnight.

I hope everyone can give me some support!

Chapter 80 Thoughts (1)

Mike didn't take the pen the girl pulled from under her skirt. He stared at the girl in front of him, his expression turning serious, and refused again: "It's lunchtime now. If you want an autograph, maybe next time. Is that okay?"

Even the oblivious little George finally understood what had happened.

In the past, girls who wanted to chat up Mike would at most have a chance encounter on the street.

To attract Mike's attention, they would usually drop something suddenly, or suddenly squat down to tie their shoelaces or something like that...

This girl is the first one to be so direct, bold, and impulsive.

Her inappropriate actions have clearly affected Mike's normal life.

At that moment, little George didn't even bother wiping the soup off his face. He looked at Mike and the girl with a gossipy expression, eager to see how this farce would end.

Many people in the cafeteria also realized that if Mike didn't handle this approach well, there would probably be many more abrupt incidents like this in the future.

"Please, it's just an autograph." Clearly, the girl hadn't given up; her tone became humble, and she appropriately showed a wronged expression on her face.

To be honest, this girl has a pretty good figure and is also quite pretty.

Most guys would probably soften if they saw her pleading and begging like this.

However, Mike was already getting impatient with the girl's persistent attitude. He coldly reminded her, "This is personal dining time. If you want an autograph, please do it another time."

Actually, if this girl had just walked up to him and asked for an autograph normally, Mike wouldn't have minded.

However, her previous crude attempts to flirt had already annoyed Mike.

Saying "next time" was just Mike's excuse.

Mike had always been perceived as sunny, cheerful, and gentle.

At this moment, Mike's serious expression and aloof aura made it clear to anyone that he was in a bad mood.

Mike's transformation finally brought the girl to her senses.

Having lost her stubbornness, the girl then noticed the pointing and whispering of her classmates.

This drained her last bit of courage.

"I'm sorry... I disturbed you..." The girl hurriedly apologized, covered her face, and left through the side passage without daring to look back.

"Do you think she cried?" Little George speculated, watching the girl's departing figure. Then, he answered his own question, "I bet she definitely cried!"

As he spoke, little George nodded self-assuredly to reinforce his own conviction.

The girl's aggrieved expression when she left was indeed much more natural than the feigned aggrieved look she had shown before.

Having suffered such a huge blow, she might actually go out and find a place to have a good cry.

“How should I know?” Mike sat down calmly and continued eating his sandwich, indicating that he was not interested in the topic.

On the other side, Lina watched the girl leave, then called over the two members of Mike's support group who were sitting at the same table, and they followed her out.

The original purpose of Mike's fan club was to protect Mike and prevent him from being seduced by other glamorous women in school.

After all, Mike is so handsome, even if I can't have him, I can't let some other little bitch have him.

The girl's bold behavior had clearly been seen as trouble by Mike's supporters.

In the cafeteria, little George watched Mike eating his lunch as if nothing was wrong, and he witnessed another side of Mike that was cold and unapproachable.

Of course, little George may not yet be able to fully understand the troubles of being too popular with girls.

He couldn't resist continuing, "By the way, Mike, do you remember how many girls this week have tried to hit on you?"

"I don't know." Mike shook his head.

This week, there were many girls who deliberately dropped things or tied their shoelaces in front of Mike. Mike wasn't in the mood to remember them all.

"Honestly, a lot of those girls are pretty. Don't you have any feelings for them?" Little George asked mysteriously in a low voice.

And it was indeed as George Jr. said: the girls who dared to talk to Mike were all above average in terms of looks and figure.

After all, given Mike's circumstances, girls with average looks didn't have the courage to approach him.

"You know, I'm a very loyal man when it comes to relationships," Mike replied seriously, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Huh?" Little George was indeed confused by Mike's answer.

Based on his understanding of Mike's private life, Mike didn't seem like a person who would commit to one relationship.

“My criteria for choosing a partner are very consistent: young and beautiful is all I need.” Mike held up two fingers and said jokingly, “Of course, if she’s beautiful enough, then the first criterion can be relaxed a bit.”

Now, little George finally understood. The reason Mike was so indifferent to the girls he flirted with was because he thought they weren't pretty enough.

Yes, if even a goddess like Regina can be indifferent, then other relatively ordinary girls have even less of a chance.

George, who thought he understood Mike, gave a lewd smile that any man would understand.

Just then, Mike's gaze met Regina's, who was also looking in their direction.

Regina, sitting in the middle of the cafeteria, had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She needed an opportunity, a chance to reconnect with Mike.

Seeing that Regina was about to get up and come over, Mike picked up his sandwich and stood up first: "Little George, take your time eating. Remember to clear my plate later. I'm leaving now."

Before George could respond, Mike left the cafeteria through the side door.

"What's going on?" George watched Mike leave speechlessly.

They were chatting just fine before, and little George had a lot of gossip he wanted to share with Mike.

Now it's all good, we don't have to say anything, and we even have to help the other party collect an extra plate.

On the other side, Regina, who was sitting in the middle of the cafeteria, stomped her foot angrily as she watched Mike leave in a hurry, and then sat back down in her seat.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the crowded cafeteria to briefly greet Mike, hoping to use the disheveled state of the girl who had tried to pick her up earlier to highlight her own difference.

Moreover, the interactions between popular contestants will definitely become a new topic of conversation among students.

This will greatly benefit Mike and Regina's continued rise in popularity.

However, to Regina's surprise, Mike was surprisingly uncooperative.

In the past, Mike's behavior would probably have been immediately rejected by Regina.

However, Regina is currently in a very bad situation and is in a position where she needs someone's help.

Therefore, she now needs not only to suppress her anger, but also to actively find other opportunities to approach Mike.

This is a big test for the "Queen Bee".

However, Regina probably didn't realize that Mike had already seen through her highly purposeful approach.

That's why Mike avoided her earlier.

Chapter 81 New Friends (2)

In the corridor, Mike, holding the remaining half of a thick sandwich, walked towards the library.
