American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Perhaps because she wasn't a member of the "Devilish Figures" group, or because she wasn't in the same grade as the other girls, there was always some unspoken distance between Lina and Regina.

Of course, there are no obvious conflicts between the two sides.

“That’s such a shame,” Regina said deliberately. “We were planning to invite you to a music party tomorrow.”

"You guys can play musical instruments?" Mike asked in surprise.

“Not yet, but I’m learning…” Regina continued with a smile, “By the way, I can give you a hint. Gretchen is learning the recorder.”

Isn't a recorder just for playing *?

Beside her, Gretchen, who was already a little shy, blushed even more when she heard Regina mention her.

It's worth mentioning that since her close encounter with Mike, Greta's skin has visibly improved.

“I’m also very interested in musical instruments. How about we study them together the day after tomorrow…” Mike suggested excitedly.

Next, in Regina's sports car, Mike spent a lot of time persuading her before finally getting her to agree to his proposal before they were driven home.

……

On Saturday, Mike spent a wonderful day with Lina at her farm, making up for the girl's disappointment on Halloween.

In the evening, when Mike arrived at Cooper's house for dinner, he saw little George with obvious handprints on his face.

"What's wrong with him?" Mike asked curiously.

Upon hearing Mike's question, George and his wife both looked like they wanted to say something but were holding back a laugh.

Connie's grandma burst out laughing.

“I know, I know~” Missy raised her hand and said, “This morning at the church’s baptismal ceremony, little George tried to kiss the girl across from him, and then she hit him.”

Chapter 166 Hormones at Work

“She hugged me on her own initiative…and she even closed her eyes…” Little George tried his best to defend himself.

This baptism by holy water in the church was a way for the church to give back to its believers after raising a large sum of money for Halloween.

Therefore, this baptism ceremony was very grand.

And coincidentally, Veronica and George were assigned to the same group to enter the holy water pool.

Perhaps due to the atmosphere, the girl gave little George a polite hug during the baptism.

But young George, who was in the prime of his life with surging hormones, couldn't resist the allure of a girl's wet body.

So, witnessed by countless believers, little George bravely stepped forward. And then, he received a slap in the face from the girl.

"Alright, little George. I understand you, I was young once too." At the dinner table, George, having finished eating his melon, comforted his eldest son.

The slap George received in front of the believers today was enough to scare them. As a father, George didn't want to embarrass them further because of this.

After all, everyone has a youthful and impulsive phase.

After receiving comfort from his father, little George felt much better. However, he still stubbornly defended himself again: "I didn't want to do that, but I really couldn't control myself. It was hormones...yes, it's all the hormones' fault!"

Yes, in order to clear his name, little George attributed all his behavior to hormones.

To be honest, it actually makes a lot of sense.

“I understand, I understand~” Seeing that his eldest son wasn’t devastated by the setback, George smiled and shared his experience: “Actually, I did something stupid for a girl back then too. I know that feeling…”

"Oh, who is she?" Overhearing his father's gossip, little George asked curiously, "Is she your first love?"

“Her name was Catherine Dempsey, and she was a very lovely girl…” George said with a nostalgic air.

He didn't realize that while he was having a heart-to-heart talk with his eldest son, his wife Mary's eyes were becoming increasingly dangerous.

“She…” Little George was very interested in his father’s gossip and was about to press for more information.

Mary, who had reached her limit of patience, spoke up: "That's enough, little George. It's time to eat."

Seeing his mother's stern expression, little George, who was full of questions, had no choice but to swallow his words and obediently lower his head to eat the steak in front of him.

George also noticed something was wrong with his wife; she seemed jealous.

So he quickly explained, "I was only fifteen years old at the time and didn't understand anything."

However, Mary completely ignored her husband's explanation. She then coldly began to viciously cut at the steak on her plate with her knife and fork.

"This..." George was quite embarrassed by his wife's actions.

Moreover, he was somewhat in the wrong in initiating this incident.

George shook his head helplessly and could only silently lower his head to eat his steak.

Just as dinner was about to end in this quiet atmosphere, Mary, who had finished her steak first, suddenly looked up and asked, "Mike, are you free tomorrow?"

Tomorrow was the day Mike and Regina were supposed to exchange musical instruments. However, just in case Mary had something more important to do, he still asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

“That’s right,” Mary said. “I have a friend who is an expert in child development, specializing in brain development…”

Mary's friend—well, not really a friend—had somehow found out that young Sheldon, this child prodigy, possessed an exceptionally high IQ.

Therefore, I want to study the situation of the Cooper siblings.

And because Mary casually mentioned that Mike was also very intelligent, the man became interested in Mike's brain.

“They promised to pay a subsidy of ten yuan per hour during the testing period, and they'll also reimburse your round-trip transportation costs.” After explaining the situation, Mary asked, “So, Mike, are you interested?”

Based on an eight-hour workday, plus travel expenses, Mike could earn at least $100 in extra money tomorrow if he agreed to take the test.

Don't underestimate 100 US dollars; it's equivalent to almost half a month's salary for Mary or George.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take the test," Mike politely declined. He didn't want to be used as fodder for others' research.

"That's a real shame." Mary shook her head in disappointment.

She was genuinely sorry that Mike couldn't earn that extra 100 US dollars.

On the other side, Grandma Connie saw the situation clearly. She smiled and said, "There's nothing to regret. Mike isn't short of money now. He'll probably be busy tomorrow taking care of his girlfriends."

Grandma Connie knew that Mike was investing in stocks and had recently made a small profit.

Of course, she also felt that it was good for young people like Mike to have more time to spend with the opposite sex.

Mary also knows some things about Mike's love life. And Connie's grandmother's use of the word "they" was very apt.

So she didn't try to persuade Mike to take any brain tests.

After dinner, as Mary cleared the table and went to the kitchen, little George couldn't help but ask his father again, "Dad, do you think I should give up on Veronica?"

When the topic turned to his eldest son's love life, George, being an experienced man, knew that his son was at the age where hormones were raging and would certainly not give up on his first relationship so easily.

So he said, "Your heart will guide you."

Yes, George believes that his eldest son needs to hit a wall himself before he will give up, or rather, before he will mature.

“Yes, some people still remember their first love, her name was Catherine…” Mary, who was clearing the dishes for the second time, heard her husband’s words.

With a displeased expression on her face, she deliberately provoked her husband because she was still jealous.

“I already told you, that was something I did when I was young. I’ve long forgotten about her,” George explained helplessly, sensing his wife’s dissatisfaction.

“Yes, you’ve already forgotten her name is ‘Catherine’…” Mary said sarcastically, then picked up the remaining cutlery and stormed back to the kitchen.

"I really have forgotten about her!" George, feeling wronged, shouted towards the kitchen.

Then, when he turned around, he saw Connie's grandmother's scrutinizing gaze.

"I really have forgotten..." George said helplessly, trying to explain again.

“I understand, I understand~” Grandma Connie smiled and said, “It’s normal for first love to be unforgettable. You should think about how to explain this to Mary.”

After saying that, Grandma Connie called Mike and they left Cooper's house together.

George was left standing there, facing the gossipy gazes of the children. Annoyed and embarrassed, he said, "Go back to your rooms, all of you!"

It was rare to see their father angry, so Sheldon and Missy were stunned and obediently went to their room.

Only little George looked at his father with sympathy and said, "I understand you."

Thinking about his current situation, which was all because of his eldest son, George said sternly, "You'd better disappear right now too!"

"Roger that~" Little George gave a funny salute before heading to his room.

He has decided to use the weekend to write a love letter to Veronica.

Once you start school, you can formally confess your feelings to the other person again.

Chapter 167 Party

On Sunday, the Coopers drove Sheldon and Missy to the Texas Children's Research Institute. Mike, as agreed, went to Regina's house.

As for Grandma Connie, she also had an important plan for today. She wanted to teach the old-fashioned Professor John how to drive a car.

Back at Regina's house, Amy learned that her daughter and several girls from the "Devil Body Group" wanted to learn musical instruments.

This hot mom showed great interest.

Moreover, to support her daughter and several girls' hobbies, she bought many musical instruments for the house over the weekend and even set aside a music room in the villa.

When Mike came to her door, the hot mom was completely stunned.

Over time, Mike's charm grew with each interaction with the girls. For a single young woman like Amy, his allure was practically nuclear.

“Actually, I also know a little about musical instruments. If it’s alright, I can teach you privately,” Amy said meaningfully after learning Mike’s purpose.

Seeing her mother's alluring appearance, Regina felt utterly ashamed. She cried out in embarrassment and anger, "Mom~"

"Okay, okay~" Amy, her good news interrupted, feigned a sigh, then smiled and said, "You guys can have this now. Have fun~"

She then glanced at Mike, turned, and walked towards the makeshift music equipment room.

Before Regina could even catch her breath, Amy stopped at the doorway again, gave Mike a flirtatious wink, and said, "Mike, feel free to come to me anytime if you need anything~"

This put all the pressure on Mike.

Next, in order to appease the jealous Regina, Mike, with his exceptional intelligence, temporarily learned to play several musical instruments, which finally satisfied the girl.

After that, Mike had time to share his newly developed singing and playing techniques with the other girls in the group with amazing figures.

Overall, Mike had a very exciting and fulfilling day.

As evening fell, Mike quickly left the villa amidst Amy's meaningful smile.

When he got home, he saw his grandmother Connie, dressed in a very formal outfit, looking at herself in the full-length mirror.

Seeing Mike return, Grandma Connie asked hesitantly, "Mike, can you tell me how this outfit looks?"

“Very good, Connie. You’re very charming right now,” Mike complimented with a smile.

Despite her age, Grandma Connie remains as charming as ever among the elderly.

"Thank you~" Grandma Connie was very happy to hear the compliment. Then she continued, "You can go to Cooper's for dinner by yourself tonight. John and I have an activity later."

"Understood, have a good time tonight~" Although Mike hadn't deliberately inquired about Grandma Connie's private life.

However, he still knew that the other party and Professor John were currently locked in a fierce battle.

Afterwards, Mike, not wanting to disturb Connie's grandma any longer, quickly washed up and went to Cooper's house alone.

"Mike, do you know what? I got a perfect score on my test today!" At Cooper's house, little Missy happily shared the good news with Mike when he arrived.

At that moment, George and his wife were also discussing their two children's test at the Children's Institute at the dinner table.

It wasn't until the research institute tests were completed today that the couple realized their youngest daughter possessed extremely high emotional intelligence.

On the other side, after hearing Missy's boast, Sheldon Jr. proudly declared, "I also got a perfect score on the intelligence test."

In Sheldon's view, intelligence is clearly superior to emotional intelligence.

Of course, this conclusion is not drawn because he scored zero on today's emotional intelligence test and therefore intentionally belittles emotional intelligence.

"Anyway, I got a perfect score." Missy, having finally surpassed Sheldon in some aspect, naturally didn't want the other to steal the spotlight.

Seeing that the two children were about to start arguing, Mary quickly said, "Alright, you're both little geniuses, hurry up and eat."

That being said, judging from Mary's expression, she still favored her younger son a little more.

"Hmph~" The perceptive Missy naturally noticed this. After letting out a hmph, she turned her head to the side, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the little girl also had such a proud side, Mike smiled and shook his head, quietly comforting her for a couple of minutes, which cheered her up again.
