American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Just as the two were about ten meters from the finish line, a gasp suddenly came from behind them, accompanied by laughter from the parents on the sidelines.

Mike wanted to turn around and see what had happened, but he noticed that little George next to him was filled with longing for this victory.

So Mike suppressed his curiosity and didn't let his partner down.

A few seconds later, when the two crossed the finish line, Mike finally had time to look back.

Outside the track, Sheldon Jr. was waving his arms in terror, while unconsciously screaming.

Two little bees were flying around his head.

Young Sheldon tried to run away, but he wasn't as strong as Missy and was held in place.

This hilarious scene can be described as Sheldon's most embarrassing moment.

The parents standing nearby were all amused by this hilarious scene and burst into laughter, with Connie's grandmother laughing the loudest.

After Mary confirmed that her youngest son was safe, she smiled and urged, "George, quick, camera, take a picture of this. This will be an unforgettable moment..."

Finally, just as little Sheldon was about to cry, Missy squatted down and, with a look of disgust, untied the rope binding his ankles.

Now free, young Sheldon ran wildly across the grass, using both his hands and feet.

Immediately, another round of good-natured laughter rang out from the sidelines.

Finally, it was Connie's grandma who went up and hugged her beloved grandson, comforting him, "It's okay, little biscuit, Grandma's here."

After being comforted, Sheldon was in much better spirits, but he resolutely refused to participate in the next game.

George, who received a small cross, finally got to show off to his younger brother for a while.

Later, at Grandma Connie's suggestion, Mike participated in the ring toss and fishing competitions. Thanks to his exceptional talent, Mike won two more small crosses before the events ended.

He gave the two crosses to Sheldon Jr. and Missy, respectively.

As evening approached, the Cooper family, having enjoyed their happy time, set off on their journey home.

In George's car, Sheldon and Missy were fast asleep, each holding a small cross.

As the evening breeze blew, Mary looked at her husband driving beside her and sighed, "What a beautiful day!"

“Indeed, opportunities to see Shelly make a fool of himself are rare,” George said, spoiling the mood.

His camera holds many photos, including those of Grandma Connie, George Jr., and Mike, which are the family's most precious memories.

Meanwhile, on Grandma Connie's side, George had also fallen asleep in the back row. He kept smacking his lips, looking like he was having a sweet dream.

Connie's grandmother, who was driving quietly, looked at Mike in the passenger seat and suddenly asked, "By the way, where's that girl named Lina this afternoon?"

“Maybe she has something else to do,” Mike said casually.

However, he knew in his heart that Lina hadn't come to see him again that afternoon. One reason was probably that she was tired from lunch and needed to rest. Another was that she was afraid her mother would discover something was amiss.

It must be said that Lina is a good girl.

Chapter 58 Danger is approaching

The next morning, it was time for church service again.

Mike declined Mary's invitation again and stayed in the house to go back to sleep.

"Thump thump~ thump~"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Mike didn't intend to answer, but after a while, the knocking not only didn't stop, but became more and more urgent.

"Who is it, so early in the morning..." Disturbed from his sleep, Mike got up to open the door, very annoyed.

At this point in time, it shouldn't be the Cooper family or Connie's grandmother.

Moreover, even if Connie's grandmother came back and forgot her key, there was a spare key hidden by the door, so there was no need for her to knock.

With a creak, the door was pulled open.

Outside, Serena peered into the room: "Mike, you're home after all."

Bathed in the morning light, the woman, dressed in a thin red silk nightgown, seemed to radiate white light from head to toe.

Unexpectedly, the other party came to him in such a hurry. Mike leaned back slightly and asked warily, "Is there something you need, Serena?"

"My water pipe is broken, could you come over and fix it for me?" Serena fiddled with a few strands of her wet hair. Her silk nightgown was also soaked and clung tightly to her body.

If the other person were a normal person, Mike might have taken a few more glances and enjoyed the view.

The strange smell wafting towards his nose made Mike wrinkle his nose uncomfortably. Then, he declined, saying, "This... isn't very convenient. Why don't you go home and wait a while? Pastor Jeff should be back soon."

Mike didn't want to have too much contact with her before he figured out what she was really like.

Having experienced the Jennifer incident, Mike knew the dangers posed by those non-human beings.

Their thought processes are fundamentally different from those of humans.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Serena's patience seemed to be wearing thin in the face of Mike's repeated rejections.

At this moment, although she still had a smile on her face, her hand resting on the door frame was making a "clicking" sound.

The door frame, which was covered with a layer of sheet metal, had several finger marks on it.

After comparing the combat strength of both sides, Mike knew that he was no match for his opponent in a head-on confrontation.

"Uh, I'll go change my clothes and be right out." Mike's eyelids twitched, and he chose to play it safe for now.

While I was changing clothes, I decided to find some tools to save my life.

“No need.” Serena quickly grabbed Mike, who was about to turn around, and said with a smile, “It’s just fixing a water pipe, it won’t take you too long.”

Mike was surprised by the speed, but he didn't show it on his face.

“Okay, I’ll go fix the pipe for you right away. Can you let go of my hand for now?” Mike looked at the small hand gripping his wrist. The small hand was white and slender, but it was very cold, not like the temperature a living person should have.

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient." Serena released her hand and resumed her polite and aloof demeanor.

Pastor Jeff's house is right next door, less than 300 meters away.

On the way, Mike flexed his wrist; a red mark had appeared around the spot where he had been grabbed.

'This is troublesome!' Mike looked up at Serena, who was leading the way with her hips swaying, while he was thinking of a solution.

However, considering the disparity in combat capabilities between the two sides, Mike couldn't think of any good countermeasures at the moment.

Alternatively, we could seek help from the church.

Just as Mike was lost in thought, the two entered Pastor Jeff's house.

This is a very ordinary house, with an overall layout similar to Connie's maternal grandmother's house.

"This is it. See if you can fix it. I'm going to change my clothes..." Serena led Mike to the kitchen, where the faucet above the sink was dripping.

Since entering the house, Serena seemed to have Mike completely under her control, and didn't show any signs of being in a hurry.

After the other person left, Mike looked at the various knives displayed in the kitchen, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

Just as he was contemplating a desperate, all-or-nothing approach, Serena returned wearing a red tank top.

It has to be said that this woman has a really great figure and understands men's preferences very well. The suspender top looks sexy on her.

'It's a pity the other party isn't human, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible...' Mike shook his head, suppressing thoughts he shouldn't have.

At the same time, he stepped back slightly, moving closer to where the knives were placed.

"How is it? Can it be fixed?" Serena asked, leaning against the doorway.

Upon hearing this, Mike glanced at the faucet; the screw was loose. Moreover, he had reason to believe that the other party had deliberately loosened it.

Looking at the small wrench and pliers next to him, Mike nodded: "It can be fixed."

"That's good, you keep fixing it. I'll go get you some drinks." With that, Serena swayed her hips and went to the living room.

'This is very abnormal!' Mike looked at the other person's back, and some inappropriate images always popped into his mind.

Logically speaking, Mike shouldn't have had any other thoughts based solely on the unpleasant smell on the other person.

But his brain just wouldn't go under his control.

'Forget it, without sufficient preparation, now is not the best time to make a move... It's better to leave here as soon as possible.' Mike didn't intend to put himself in danger if he didn't have a good chance of winning.

So he picked up the small wrench and quickly started repairing the faucet.

After tightening the screws, the faucet stopped leaking.

Mike put down his tools and walked outside.

In the living room, Serena was holding a stemmed glass filled with red liquid, waiting for Mike.

"We're out of milk at home, how about red wine?" Serena asked with a smile.

"No, thank you." Mike refused; he dared not drink what the woman offered.

"The faucet is fixed, I'll be going now." With that, Mike walked past the woman and headed for the door.

"Wait a minute~ Aren't you curious about my abilities?" Serena sipped her red wine, revealing two fangs in her mouth, and her pupils turned blood red.

'He's not pretending anymore.' Mike's heart sank. He put his hands in his pants pockets, where there was a small knife for chopping vegetables.

"Don't get agitated, I don't mean you any harm." Serena licked her red lips and retracted her fangs. "I am a noble vampire. If you are willing, I can give you the Embrace and let you join us."

The embracing ceremony of vampires requires a vampire to voluntarily offer their own blood essence, which results in a loss of power for the vampire.

From this perspective, Serena clearly cares a lot about Mike.

Humans who undergo the Embrace ritual and are transformed into vampires not only gain stronger physiques and endless lifespans, but with good fortune, they may even awaken a unique talent.

Serena, on the other hand, awakened the "charm" talent.

This talent allows Serena to amplify the desires of others, especially those between men and women.

Furthermore, those who become purebloods through the Embrace can enhance themselves by absorbing the energy of the moon.

Finally, it might even reach the point of reverting to its ancestral form, transforming into a bat and possessing the ability to fly and escape.

Chapter 59 Finding Coping Strategies

Although becoming a vampire has many advantages, Mike, who possesses a system, doesn't care about those advantages at all.

He took two steps back, remaining wary, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no interest in becoming a vampire."

Serena was somewhat surprised by this answer. Then, she added with a hint of threat, "Don't make a decision so quickly; you might regret it later..."

How about a week? I'll give you a week to think it over.

Mike breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was still room for maneuver.

“Okay, I’ll give you an answer in a week,” Mike said, planning to use that week to think of other ways to deal with Serena.

Things have come to this point, how much worse can things get?

Watching Mike's hurried departure, Serena licked her red lips and muttered to herself, "He truly is the man I've set my sights on; he actually managed to resist my temptation."

In fact, Serena had already used her "Charm" talent when she went to find Mike that morning. Under such temptation, an ordinary person would probably have long since become a puppet controlled by desire.

Serena's willingness to give Mike a week wasn't entirely out of kindness.

She had already decided that if the other party couldn't give her a satisfactory answer within a week, she wouldn't mind sucking the blood of the entire town's residents dry.

Serena had already enjoyed the delicious taste of blood in the Big Apple.

Those whose blood she drained either turned to ashes if they were unlucky, or became blood servants if they were lucky enough to be infected with blood poison.

Compared to pure vampires, blood servants, besides having a long lifespan, are even physically inferior to ordinary people.

Moreover, Blood Servants belong to a race that dies in the light and can only live in darkness their entire lives.

Previously, Serena hadn't been drinking the blood of the townspeople because she was afraid of being discovered by the church.

Now, she gave Mike the right to choose: if the other party couldn't satisfy her, she wouldn't mind using the lives of the entire town as punishment for Mike before leaving.

As for killing Mike directly, Serena was a little reluctant, since he had such a handsome face.

On the other side, Mike, walking on the street bathed in sunlight, finally felt a little better, and the awkward feeling in his mind before disappeared.

Even after confirming that Serena was indeed a vampire, Mike still felt a little unreal.

While marveling at his "good luck," he decided to go to the church to see if he could get some help there.

After all, the church is the expert in dealing with vampires.
