American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

In fact, with today's loss in the football game, Regina has once again lowered Mike's priority.

She thought to herself that without the aura of football, Mike might not be as popular at school as he used to be.

Regina, who was incompatible with Mike, naturally didn't want to try and win him over again.

Yes, as the "Queen Bee," Regina is indeed a very pragmatic person.

But that's fine, because Mike doesn't really want to have too much contact with Regina, that troublesome woman.

At that moment, Mike, standing by the roadside, watched Karen's alluring appearance, and his heart began to burn with desire. After all, who could resist a stunningly beautiful woman who was also sensible and offered herself up so readily?

However, considering that little George seemed a bit off today, Mike couldn't bear to leave him alone.

After all, Mike wasn't the type to forget his friends for the sake of a pretty girl.

Seemingly sensing Mike's thoughts, little George said, "You go play. I'm used to going home by myself."

“Okay, see you tonight.” Mike hesitated for a second. In the end, he got into the car.

Watching the car drive away, George sighed, "Sure enough, with Mike's looks, how could he possibly lack girls..."

On the other side, Katie, who had changed out of her cheerleading uniform, also approached her friends, Janice and Damian.

Seeing that Katie seemed unaffected, punk-girl Janice reminded her, "Shouldn't you be going to find Mike right now? He just lost the game and really needs someone to comfort him..."

As she spoke, Janice gave a meaningful smile.

Hearing her friend's teasing, Katie was a little shy, but it also served as a reminder to her.

After some hesitation, Katie finally seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Then I'll go. I'll come back to see you next time."

"Go for it! Go for it! I wish you all the best in winning over Mike this time." Janice encouraged her friend as she watched her departing figure.

However, when Katie, feeling uneasy, ran all the way to the playground, she only saw little George, who hadn't gone far.

“George, where’s Mike? Didn’t he come with you?” Katie asked, catching her breath.

“Yes, Mike just left. Is there anything I can help you with?” George Jr. replied.

Out of consideration for his friend, he did not tell the girl in front of him that Mike had left with her.

After all, George isn't stupid; he could tell that Katie also had feelings for Mike.

"Already gone?"

Hearing George's answer, Katie's face showed disappointment. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset and continued, "Actually, I don't have anything to do with Mike. We can talk about it later."

After saying a brief goodbye to George, Katie went to find Janice and the others.

……

Meanwhile, Mike, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, initially thought Karen was the only one in the car. However, after getting in, he discovered there was another person in the back seat.

At that moment, he was looking at Karen, who was driving, with an inquiring gaze.

Anyone whose private time with another person is disturbed by outsiders will not be in a good mood, even if the other person is a great beauty.

Yes, the person sitting in the back seat was another member of the "Devil Body Group"—Greechen.

At this moment, Greta sat upright in the back with her legs together. Her face was turned away from the car, avoiding any eye contact with Mike.

A moment later, taking advantage of the traffic light at the intersection, Karen explained, "Grechen's not available at home today, so she's planning to stay at my place for a while..."

As they were talking, Karen suddenly leaned close to Mike's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, she won't interfere with our good time."

Feeling the sticky, warm breath on his ear, Mike no longer cared about Greta. He couldn't help but think that Karen was a lovable little devil, and all he wanted to do was devour her whole.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a detached villa in their car.

Judging by the level of luxury of this villa, it's not much different from Regina's house.

In fact, the Karen family owns a medium-sized food factory, and Katie's father has also independently developed a beef burger that sells very well throughout Texas.

So, Karen is actually a real little rich woman.

After the car came to a stop, Karen happily took Mike's hand and they entered their villa.

Overall, the interior of Karen's villa exudes a sense of understated luxury, which is much more pleasing to the eye than Regina's house with its gaudy and eclectic style.

Today, Karen's parents happened to be away from home, giving Mike and Karen plenty of space to play.

Following behind, Greta, just as Karen had said, wisely went to a room to the side as soon as she entered, without disturbing the couple in the villa.

As soon as Greta disappeared, the two people in the living room became entangled in a passionate embrace.

"Wait..." At the crucial moment, Karen called for a pause.

"What's wrong?" Mike asked, puzzled.

"Wait a minute, you'll find out... There's a surprise~" Karen mysteriously led Mike into a huge room, while she went outside to prepare the surprise.

Just as Mike was getting impatient, Karen finally returned.

"How was it?" Karen asked with a smile after turning around.

At this moment, Karen has changed into a form-fitting bunny girl outfit, and is also wearing two cute bunny ear decorations on her head.

"Tsk tsk... Is this a surprise? Not bad at all. However, your rabbit is still missing one thing." Mike's eyes lit up as he said with a smile.

"What's missing?" Karen asked, feigning ignorance.

"Of course it's... carrots..."

……

[Charm attribute +5], [Constitution main attribute +1], [Flexibility attribute +3]...

Half an hour later, the big rabbit was defeated.

Chapter 99 Lies

On the other side, just as George Jr. got home and lay down comfortably, he saw Sheldon Jr. hiding something behind his back as he walked in.

"This is my room. If there's nothing else, please leave. I'm not in the mood to argue with you today..." George said listlessly.

“I’ve found the evidence,” Sheldon said abruptly, stopping at the doorway.

"What evidence?" George asked impatiently, glancing at the doorway.

“Evidence of your cheating on the last test…” Sheldon said, pulling out a pair of flat skate shoes from behind his back.

On the soles of these white sneakers, you can still vaguely see mathematical formulas written in an oil-based pen.

"What do you want to do, report me?" Little George recognized the shoes, but he remained calm.

The competition is over now, and little George doesn't care about his math score from last time at all.

“No, quite the opposite, I’ll keep this a secret for you.” Young Sheldon threw his shoe on the ground and continued in a negotiating tone, “In exchange, I need you to help me this once.”

When George heard that young Sheldon needed his help, he became interested: "Tell me about it!"

"I need you to teach me how to successfully deceive people," Sheldon asked earnestly.

"Liar?" Little George looked puzzled. "Who are you trying to fool?"

In George's heart, his clever younger brother has always been a "good boy." Given his personality, it's quite surprising that he suddenly wants to learn how to lie.

“Don’t worry about that. Just tell me the tricks to lying. I know you’re very talented at it.” Young Sheldon analyzed, his eyes occasionally glancing at the skateboard shoes on the ground with a hint of threat.

"Heh~ I won't help you unless you tell me why. Even if you tell the teacher I cheated on the test, I don't care." Little George pouted, his attitude very firm.

As mentioned earlier, George cheated on his math test solely to qualify for the rugby game. Now that Melford's summer league is over, he doesn't care about his math score at all.

On the contrary, George was very interested in why young Sheldon wanted to learn how to lie.

This might become a handle he uses to retaliate against Sheldon Jr. in the future.

On Sheldon's side, he thought about it seriously for a while before finally relenting and saying, "I can tell you the reason, but you have to swear you won't tell anyone. Otherwise, I'll tell Mom that you're hiding 'Flower Magazine' in your room."

“Don’t talk nonsense. The last magazine was already taken by Mom last time,” George said, trying to sound calm.

“Really?” Sheldon took a few steps forward. “I bet you have something good hidden under your bed.”

"How did you know you were in my room? Damn it..." Little George was initially a little panicked, but then anger rose in his heart.

It's important to understand that privacy is crucial for a boy going through puberty. If mishandled, it can escalate into a serious social problem: social death.

“It seems I wasn’t wrong…” Young Sheldon wasn’t sure at first, but now, seeing George’s reaction, he was certain that the other party was hiding the magazine.

Clearly, in this clash between the two brothers, Sheldon Jr. once again used his intelligence to suppress George Jr.

"Okay, I swear I won't tell anyone about your plan to learn to lie, but you have to promise not to tell Mom about the magazine." For the sake of his precious study materials, little George had no choice but to compromise.

Seeing Sheldon nod, George continued, "Now, tell me why you want to learn to lie."

“Of course!” After the agreement was reached, Sheldon Jr. explained his reasons.

It turns out that after the last math test, young Sheldon realized his lack of knowledge.

To make up for this weakness, Sheldon has borrowed a whole set of twelfth-grade textbooks.

However, new problems arose.

He wanted to study the twelfth-grade curriculum on his own, but he found that he simply didn't have enough time to study.

So, young Sheldon set his sights on afternoon physical education time. He wanted to ask his shogi teacher for leave so that he could have enough personal time every afternoon.

As for how to get the sick leave approved by the shogi instructor, it took Sheldon a long time to think about, and he finally came up with the idea of ​​faking illness.

"You lied so you'd have more time to study?" George was even more surprised after hearing Sheldon's reason.

In his mind, studying was an extremely painful thing. And the fact that young Sheldon could go to such lengths to study could only be described as freakish.

"Hmm, it's just a white lie," Sheldon admitted expressionlessly.

In Sheldon's mind, a lie that does not harm others and is beneficial to himself can be called a white lie.

"Is that how you explain a white lie?" Little George couldn't quite understand, but considering Sheldon's thought process, he decided to skip the topic for now.

George, getting straight to the point, continued, "To learn how to lie, you need to consider the actual situation. Take faking illness, for example. If you want to fake a limp, you can give yourself a good whack on the leg. A half-real, half-fake act is more believable..."

“It was definitely the right decision to come to you; you really have a talent for this.” Young Sheldon first affirmed the other’s line of thinking, and then asked, “Is there an easier way that won’t harm the body?”

“Of course there is. You can fake a high fever. Before asking for leave, just run a few laps as fast as you can until you get warm,” Little George said with great experience. “I’ve used this method before, and it works very well.”

Upon hearing about the need for exercise, Sheldon shook his head in resistance, rejecting the suggestion.

"Then pretend to have a cold. Drink plenty of cold water the night before and let the cold wind blow on you all night. If that's still not enough, you can put an ice pack on your head before taking the day off the next day..." Little George continued to come up with mischievous ideas, and finally reminded him, "Of course, this method is also very risky. If you're not careful, you might actually catch a cold."

After hearing George's suggestion again, Sheldon frowned. Dissatisfied, he continued, "Are there any other ways?"

"Of course there is. You can use a bandage to sling your arm in place to fake a dislocation. That's the simplest way," little George suggested haphazardly.

“Very good, I understand…” Young Sheldon’s eyes lit up, and he turned to walk out, thoughtfully closing the door behind him before leaving.

For Sheldon, faking a dislocated arm was a clever way to gain sympathy without harming his own body.

The only thing he needs to be careful about is avoiding everyone during afternoon physical activity time, in order to prevent his feigned illness from being exposed.

……

After an afternoon, once Mike had completely won over Karen, he returned home to find the Cooper family and Connie's grandmother waiting for him in the living room.

“What happened?” Mike asked.

“Something good has happened…” Grandma Connie said with a smile, “Let George tell you.”

"It's nothing major, I'm just planning to treat everyone to a big meal out tonight," George explained.

In the past, George would never have been willing to go out for a fancy meal.

However, the Cooper family has recently had a series of good things. First, Mary found a job, although the weekly wage is only two hundred dollars, which has eased the family's financial pressure.

Next, because of the team's performance this year, the school intends to increase George's salary.

There's a saying that goes: 99% of the world's troubles can be solved with money.

With the financial burden lifted, the Cooper family's quality of life naturally improved.

Chapter 100 Dinner

In Karen's large villa, two girls gathered in the living room, eating specialty hamburgers and drinking cola together.

"Why didn't you join before? I specially left the door open for you..." Karen said, swallowing a whole hamburger.
