American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Both of these children left Sheldon with bad memories.

So, young Sheldon's initial impression of the church classroom plummeted. He then moved a set of tables and chairs to the side, keeping a considerable distance from the other children who had come to learn.

"Quiet down~" Pastor Jeff waited until Sheldon finished his movements before continuing, "Today, I'm going to tell you about the origins of Christianity..."

The purpose of church workshops is to promote Christianity to children and cultivate their interest in it.

Therefore, Pastor Jeff will try to choose some simple and interesting topics to discuss here.

This level of content clearly wouldn't satisfy Sheldon.

So, after Pastor Jeff gave a short lecture on the basics, Sheldon raised his hand.

“Sheldon, is there a problem?” Reverend Jeff hadn’t yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Of course, I have studied Christianity, Taoism, Judaism, etc..." After rambling on, Sheldon concluded, "So, I have combined the ideas of various churches and decided to found a new church—the Church of Mathematics."

"What?" Reverend Jeff wondered if he had misheard.

“My math teaching method is an evolution of my knowledge, combining science and advanced mathematics.” Young Sheldon stood up and stepped to the front, solemnly asking, “Does anyone want to join the math teaching method? I can teach them advanced mathematics.”

Yes, Sheldon Jr. is already preparing to recruit members for his church.

Before the group of children below could figure out what was going on, Billy raised his chubby little hand.

“Very good, Billy. You’re now a member of the math department.” Young Sheldon nodded with satisfaction and continued, “Now, is there anything you want to know?”

"I want to know, can you eat math?" Billy asked innocently.

“No, our church only teaches mathematics…” Sheldon explained, perplexed.

……

Chapter 130 Apology

"Is math fun? Do you organize activities for us on weekends...?"

"What kind of perks do math teachers get? Do they give us candy...?"

……

With Billy leading the way, the children below started asking all sorts of strange questions.

Of course, in addition to its core doctrines, a church needs sufficient incentives to attract believers.

Sheldon Jr. hadn't considered any of these things. He established the Mathematics Institute simply to spread science, and the welfare, activities, and operation of the institute were all still undefined.

Faced with the children below, bombarding him with questions about the benefits of math education, young Sheldon didn't know how to respond.

Reverend Jeff, seeing that young Sheldon had made such a mess of the classroom, had no choice but to take him out of the classroom.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for Mary, for the sake of classroom discipline, Pastor Jeff ultimately decided to send the troublesome Sheldon back to the Cooper family.

……

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. In order to curb the further escalation of last week's leaflet incident, the school specially invited an aerospace expert from the Space Agency to give a lecture at the school.

Aerospace, space, rockets... these all sound high-tech and sophisticated, and they have a strong appeal to high school students.

Even if some classmates don't like it, being able to attend a professional aerospace class makes one feel more prestigious when bragging about it.

With this understanding, coupled with the school's vigorous promotion, the students' attention was indeed shifted to the upcoming aerospace lecture.

Dr. Ronald from NASA Houston happens to be Principal Tom's high school classmate. He's currently in charge of a Mars landing project.

However, in order to help his old classmate get rid of the negative impact of the leaflet incident, Dr. Ronald agreed to take some time this Friday to give a public lecture on aerospace in Melford.

"Mike, what exactly is Dr. Ronald like?" Karen asked curiously in the school cafeteria at lunchtime.

At this moment, most of the students in the school cafeteria were also discussing the mysterious aerospace doctor.

Given the school's positive publicity for Dr. Ronald, it was easy for students to develop an image of him as a knowledgeable, cultured, and refined scholar.

Even though the other person's title suggested an older man, the students were more inclined to believe that this PhD was a handsome, elderly man.

This kind of glorification of the other party probably falls under the category of knowledge worship.

Hearing Karen's question at the dining table, Greta and Lina pricked up their ears curiously, while Katie seemed distracted.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you..." Mike said jokingly, noticing the girls' gazes. "Although I don't know what Dr. Ronald looks like, I'm sure he's an extremely intelligent person."

"Extremely intelligent?" Hearing Mike's deliberate emphasis, the girls quickly realized that Mike meant the other person had no hair.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. A PhD in aerospace engineering, spending all day with complex data, would definitely lose a lot of hair.

The girls were initially fantasizing about the image of an aerospace engineering PhD, probably because they had projected Mike's image onto them.

However, Mike's words shattered their beautiful expectations.

Even Greta, who is usually mild-mannered, gave Mike a "resentful" glare at this moment.

"Ahem~ What are you guys talking about? Can I join you?" Regina carried her tray to the center of the cafeteria.

Without waiting for a reply, "Queen Bee" skillfully sat down next to Mike.

Today, Regina sported a fresh and natural makeup look, wearing only a simple white t-shirt, and her sweet smile completed the outfit.

This gives Regina a mature and intellectual charm at this moment.

Of course, Regina's current attire doesn't quite meet the dress code of the "Devilish Figures" group.

Fortunately, during the time "Queen Bee" was away, the remaining members of the Devilish Figures group unanimously agreed to abolish the dress code for the team members.

So strictly speaking, Regina's current image doesn't exactly violate any rules.

"Why are you here?" Karen questioned, her eyes conveying the message that she was not welcome here.

The other girls were in similar situations to Karen.

“I’m also a member of the ‘Devil Body Group,’ why can’t I come?” Regina seemed not to understand what the other girls meant. As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer to Mike.

The way she was acting seemed like she was asserting her sovereignty.

However, the "Queen Bee" was very measured in her actions, trying her best not to offend Mike.

At the dining table, apart from Greta, who was still clueless, the other girls all looked at Mike with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Clearly, they noticed something amiss from Regina's ambiguous behavior.

A perfectly good lunch break can instantly turn into a battleground.

Mike coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkwardness, before saying, "Alright, everyone, let's eat. Lunchtime is almost over..."

Seeing Mike's guilty behavior, the girls who were involved with him became even more certain of the current situation.

Clearly, Regina has also hitched a ride with Mike.

However, the group was somewhat aware of Mike's womanizing ways.

Now that things had come to this, the girls glared at Mike, then stopped causing trouble in the cafeteria and quietly began to enjoy their lunch.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Regina, on the other side, smiled slightly and wisely refrained from causing any more trouble.

The dull lunch break ended, and as Mike strode towards the math study room, Katie chased after him.

"Are you asking me about Regina?" Mike stopped and asked.

“No~” Katie stared at Mike for a moment, then shook her head: “I wanted to ask you if there was any way for me to repair my relationship with Professor Sharon.”

Katie has been troubled by this problem for the past two days.

As for the relationship between Mike and Regina, the girl had already noticed something about it on Friday night.

Since she had already transformed into Mike's shape, the girl knew that making a scene would be useless and would only create a rift in their relationship.

Therefore, the girl chose to handle Mike's infidelity by giving time a gentler approach.

Given this situation, Katie's biggest concern right now is how to repair her relationship with Professor Sharon.

“Ms. Sharon?” Hearing the girl’s distress, Mike said, “You need to give the other person a sincere apology. If you feel you can’t say it, you can write down your apology in a letter and give it to them…”

Based on Mike's understanding of Ms. Sharon, she didn't seem like the type to hold grudges.

If Katie can overcome her own conscience and sincerely apologize to the other party, then she has a high chance of gaining Sharon's forgiveness.

Mike had mentioned this method to Katie before. Bringing it up again gave the girl more motivation.

Chapter 131 Computer

During the subsequent math Olympiad study session, Ms. Sharon, who entered the classroom, maintained a cold and aloof expression throughout.

She deliberately avoided looking at Katie while lecturing.

This situation made the atmosphere in the study room extremely oppressive.

Those math team members who knew about the conflict between Ms. Sharon and Katie behaved very well in class, afraid of offending the teacher.

After the math Olympiad class ended, even the usually lively Captain Kevin quietly slipped out of the classroom.

Soon, only Sharon, Katie, and Mike remained in the classroom.

Seeing that Ms. Sharon was about to leave with her lesson plans, Katie quickly went to meet her.

"Sherlen, I'm so sorry about spreading rumors about you before. I'm so sorry~" Katie sincerely apologized and then handed over a letter.

Clearly, Katie opted for a two-pronged approach in this apology.

Ms. Sharon glanced at Katie expressionlessly, then looked through the letter in her hand.

"Your main task right now is to study; I can't interfere with anything else. So, you'd better take care of yourself." After reading the letter, Ms. Sharon still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor.

After saying those words, she didn't look at Katie again, leaving the girl with only her back turned.

"Does the teacher forgive me?" Katie asked uncertainly.

Judging from Sharon's reaction just now, Katie, as one of the parties involved, had no idea what the other party meant.

Mike, as an observer, could see very clearly that although Ms. Sharon's expression was not obvious, he could still sense that she had forgiven the girl.

“Don’t worry, Katie. The teacher has already forgiven you,” Mike replied.

"Really?" Katie asked uncertainly, "Judging from the teacher's expression, it doesn't seem like that's what he meant..."

"What else do you want? Sharon's expression has always been like that. Do you want her to give you a hug?" Mike shook his head with a smile, then opened his arms and joked, "There is a hug here that can comfort you."

"Thank you~" After the reminder, Katie's inner conflict was resolved. Then, the girl willingly threw herself into Mike's arms.

……

It was Friday afternoon, the time for Dr. Ronald's open lecture in Melford.

That afternoon, the school canceled all outdoor activities and had all the students gather in the main assembly hall.

Among the vast number of students, young Sheldon, who was full of enthusiasm for science, once again managed to grab a front-row, center seat.

"What's wrong, Mike? You don't seem too happy." The excited Sheldon looked at Mike, who seemed out of sorts.

“It’s okay, I’m fine…” Mike shook his head.

In fact, he hadn't had a good week. Ever since his relationship with Regina was exposed, Katie and the other girls, though they hadn't said anything, harbored some resentment.

Karen was the one who reacted the most strongly.

Mike put in a lot of effort this week to appease the girls, and his body, which is over 200 cm tall, almost couldn't take it.

"It's good that you're alright~" Sheldon rarely showed concern for others, and then continued, "Tell me what Dr. Ronald will tell us in a little while."

Young Sheldon, who loves science, had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He hoped that he could learn something useful from Dr. Ronald today.

"There should be a lot to talk about in aerospace knowledge, such as rocket launches, thrusters, and recovery," Mike said casually.

As he listened to the other person's explanation, young Sheldon's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited for the upcoming lecture.

Dr. Ronald didn't keep the students waiting long either. After everyone was seated, the door to the large conference room was opened.

Accompanied by Principal Tom, Dr. Ronald entered the main conference room.

He was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, chubby, and had a hunchback. Most of the hair on the top of his head had fallen out.

Dr. Ronald's image shattered the students' previous illusions.

Mike vaguely heard a disappointed sigh from the girls behind him.
