American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"I knew it, Ms. Sharon, you'd be alright~" Tim breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving confirmation from her, and the weight on his heart finally lifted.

Then, amidst Tim's concerned inquiries, Ms. Sharon looked at the students below and asked, "How is the situation here?"

After Tim explained the situation, Ms. Sharon frowned slightly and said, "Let's leave it at that."

As mentioned earlier, although Ms. Sharon may seem rigid and unapproachable, she is not actually that harsh on her students.

Now that the misunderstanding about her had been cleared up, she had no intention of making things difficult for others.

“This won’t do…” Tim wanted to speak up for Professor Sharon. But when he saw the calm look in her eyes, he gave in: “Okay, I understand.”

Tim was greatly relieved that Ms. Sharon returned safely. Otherwise, the students who were left behind might have been put through even more trouble.

Tim, understanding Ms. Sharon's intention, walked up to the students and saw the mutual suspicion among them. So he said, "Quiet down, everyone."

After everyone quieted down, he continued, "Judging from the situation, the real culprit behind this incident is not among you. However, I still have to say something: the fact that you all came here proves that you all feel guilty."

So, if you don't mind, I'd like to play a game with you next, a little game about trust.

You can also take this opportunity to speak your true feelings here…

Because of what happened today, it's inevitable that some resentment will arise among the group. If this situation continues, it won't be good for anyone.

Now, Tim is using a simple game of honest conversation to help everyone rebuild a bridge of trust.

After explaining his plan, Tim moved a desk over and climbed onto it.

As he beckoned the students closer, Tim, seemingly having nothing to lose, loudly proclaimed, "I admit I like Ms. Sharon, so what? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness!"

When Tim spoke his true feelings directly, the students around him were first surprised, and then cheered for him.

At the very edge of the crowd, Ms. Sharon saw Tim's intense gaze and, unusually, felt a little flustered, then turned her face away.

Seeing Ms. Sharon's reaction, Tim smiled. Then, he turned his back to the students, opened his arms, and called out, "I'm here!"

Amid a gasp, Tim fell off the table completely unprotected.

Fortunately, Mike was quick-witted and strong enough to catch the headmaster single-handedly.

Tim, who had stood up again, smiled and patted Mike's arm, saying with satisfaction, "You did a great job. Now it's your turn to go up and give everyone another demonstration."

"Don't worry, I'll catch you~" Tim said, pounding his chest to show that he was reliable.

This trust-based game emphasizes entrusting your back and safety entirely to others.

Mike hadn't expected to be drafted, but the atmosphere had already reached a certain point, so he readily stood on the table.

Looking at Katie, Karen, Greta, and the others who had gathered around, Mike said, "I admit I'm a little selfish, wanting everyone I love to be happy. But what's wrong with that?"

There was a moment of silence before some boys chuckled knowingly. Then came the enthusiastic cheers from the girls.

From the girls' perspective, Mike's womanizing wasn't a bad thing. Who wouldn't want a boyfriend as handsome as Mike?

Even if we can't eat it, it's good to have something to look forward to.

Tim, standing in the crowd, looked surprised after understanding what Mike had said, with an expression that seemed to say, "You city folks really know how to have fun."

However, before he could express any further thoughts, he was pushed aside by the girls who had gathered around him.

Above the table, Mike, having finished his heartfelt declaration, turned around and fell backward.

Then, it was as if he had fallen into a wave, and "swam" around in the dense sea of ​​people.

After watching Mike being escorted aside by Katie and the others, Tim stepped forward again and called out to the enthusiastic crowd, "It's still game time, who's next?"

After two rounds of demonstrations, the students roughly understood how to play this game about trust.

"I'll go!" Jenny, the punk girl who thought the game was quite interesting, pushed through the crowd and climbed onto the table.

When she reached the table, she didn't rush to speak. Instead, she gave a meaningful look to Regina, the "Queen Bee," who was hiding to the side.

Many people know that the two have a grudge. Now, some are even waiting to see what Janice will do.

“I admit, I like girls a little more than boys~” Janice’s words drew cheers from the crowd.

Then, she stared at Regina again and shouted, "So, Regina!! I love you to death~"

After much internal struggle, Janice ultimately decided against revealing the true identity of the "Queen Bee" here.

As if she had vented her anger, Janice turned around gracefully and jumped into the crowd with a Fosbury Flop.

“Janes, you should try to lose weight…” came the weak protest of the effeminate Damian from the crowd.

Looking around, Janice was sitting right on Damian, using him as a cushion.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Katie quietly climbed onto the table.

"First of all, I want to say 'sorry' to Regina. Although she is sharp-tongued, domineering, and likes to talk badly about others behind their backs..." Katie rambled on and on, as if she were publicly executing Regina.

Meanwhile, Regina, standing on the outskirts of the crowd, looked increasingly pale.

But Katie quickly changed the subject: "I admit, in order to fit into the 'Perfect Figures' group, I imitated all of Regina's flaws. So, I want to say 'I'm sorry' to everyone."

Katie's heartfelt words earned her a round of applause.

Just when everyone thought she was done speaking, Katie continued, "Secondly, I also want to apologize to Ms. Sharon. I shouldn't have spread rumors about her involvement with contraband."

If I had to pick the most thrilling thing that happened today, it would definitely be the fact that Ms. Sharon was taken away for questioning.

At this moment, after the real culprit who framed Ms. Sharon was found, the scene immediately quieted down, and many students looked at the other party involved in the incident.

Chapter 125 Apology

Sure enough, after hearing Katie's confession, Ms. Sharon's face showed deep disappointment.

It's worth noting that when Katie first arrived at the school, the first person to show her kindness was Ms. Sharon.

Moreover, in her subsequent studies and life, Ms. Sharon also took good care of Katie.

For example, Katie joining the math Olympiad team was facilitated by Ms. Sharon.

The current state of Ms. Sharon can be described as: the more she gives, the deeper she gets hurt.

On the other side, Katie, having spoken her true feelings, seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders. However, when she saw Ms. Sharon's expression, her own froze.

Knowing that the other person had not forgiven her, Katie dared not hope for more. She turned around, silently said "I'm sorry," and then closed her eyes and fell backward.

"Are you alright?" Mike asked with concern, having put his arm around the girl, noticing that she was in a bad mood.

Seeing that Mike didn't hate her for what she had done, Katie felt a little relieved.

However, when she saw that Teacher Sharon still looked disappointed, her mood became heavy again.

Not knowing how to handle her relationship with Ms. Sharon, Katie shook her head blankly.

Meanwhile, the trust game continued. As students climbed onto the tables one by one to share their innermost thoughts, the cheers from the audience never ceased.

In this atmosphere where emotion outweighs reason, the rifts that had previously existed between the students have begun to heal.

Then, Karen and Gretchen climbed onto the table one after the other, and both of them subtly mentioned Regina.

If Regina were to step onto the stage at this moment and boldly speak her "truth," she would very likely regain the friendship of her two teammates.

Regina simply stood aside and watched coldly until the game ended.

Participation in this game is not mandatory for everyone. Those with unspeakable difficulties or a clear conscience will naturally not go on stage.

Once no one else was at the table, Tim stepped forward and gathered everyone together again, saying, "I saw that many people had a lot of fun with this game, and it achieved the effect I wanted. That's great!"

Tim's words drew knowing smiles from many people. His expression turned serious as he continued, "I hope this matter ends here. Please keep what happened here a secret."

After everyone nodded, Tim smiled and said, "Alright, everyone can leave now. Have a nice weekend!"

After the previous games, the students felt much closer to Tim, the head of student affairs.

So, when he left, many people made a point of saying goodbye to him, their eyes darting back and forth between him and Teacher Sharon.

The message seems to be encouraging Tim to pursue his own happiness.

By the time everyone left the conference room, the other students in the school had already left.

"Katie, wait for me at the school gate for a bit, I'll come find you soon," Mike said to Katie, looking in the direction Regina had left.

"Oh, okay~" Katie was still thinking about Ms. Sharon and didn't notice that Mike's expression was off.

Yes, it's confirmed that Regina is still targeting Mike, and she's now completely focused on him.

If you do something bad here, you will naturally be punished.

Regina, on the other side, seemed to be waiting for Mike as well. When she realized he was following her, she made a series of twists and turns and finally arrived at the school's rooftop.

"How do you plan to explain this time?" Mike asked jokingly, looking at Regina who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, as he approached her.

"This is the last time..." The sunset shone on Regina's face, giving her a blush.

"What?" Mike looked at Regina's relieved expression, not understanding what she meant.

But soon, Mike saw Regina kneeling in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Mike was taken aback, vaguely guessing the other party's intention.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Regina looked up with a complicated expression, glared at Mike, and then began her performance.

Half an hour later, Mike was sweating profusely despite the cool breeze from the rooftop.

As a gentleman, Mike had no reason to refuse the apology the other party had chosen.

On the contrary, given Regina's previous actions, Mike, after gaining the upper hand, no longer cared about showing her any mercy.

After another ten minutes or so, Mike's mood calmed down.

[Charm attribute +25], [Flexibility attribute +5]... [Constitution main attribute +1], [Voice +10]...

After counting the orbs of light, Mike looked at Regina, who was wiping her mouth, and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question now?" Regina said in a slightly flushed voice.

Having put in a lot of effort, Regina felt she deserved to take the initiative.

Seeing the faint smile on Regina's face, Mike couldn't bring himself to immediately turn his back on her.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's just let this matter go. Don't bother me and Katie again in the future..."

Without resorting to force, this was the best solution Mike could think of. As for attacking the other side with public opinion, he disdained to do so.

Seeing Mike preparing to leave, Regina called out, "Wait!"

"What? Is there something else?" Mike stopped in his tracks.

Although the two had a relationship, in Mike's heart, Regina was still not as good as Katie and the others.

“I want to go back to the Devil Body Group,” Regina said, making her request.

“That’s your problem, it has nothing to do with me,” Mike said.

“I’m glad you agree…” Regina smiled and continued, “Also, you can come to me anytime you want next time.”

Judging from Regina's expression, she seemed completely at ease. And, in this rooftop event, it's really hard to say who will come out worse off.

Judging from Regina's behavior before and after, Mike had reason to suspect that she had been spying on him all along.

After taking another careful look at Regina, Mike turned and left the rooftop.

If the other party isn't too scheming, they could be a good person to communicate with. After all, the "Queen Bee" is so popular because it has its own unique qualities.

At least in Mike's opinion, the other person must be very talented in a musical instrument.

By the time Mike arrived at the school gate, almost an hour had passed.

“Mike, you’re finally here. I thought…” Katie, who was feeling anxious, rushed into Mike’s arms as soon as she saw him arrive.

For nearly an hour, Katie stood at the school gate, lost in thought. Part of it was her worry that Mike would abandon her once he found out what she had done.

“What did you think?” Mike asked.

“It’s nothing…” Katie wrinkled her nose and said, “Let’s go home.”

Katie's parents have been gone for a week, and they'll probably be back tomorrow, so the couple won't have much free time left.

Feeling down, Katie decides to go wild tonight.

Chapter 126 Dungeons & Dragons

After another night of intense activity, Mike looked at the mess in Katie's house and suggested they tidy up together. Their battles this week had taken place in far more than just one room.
