However, when she turned her head and saw the displeased look on her grandson's face, she understood what he meant after a moment's thought.
Realizing that her presence was indeed disrupting Professor John's lecture, Grandma Connie, while he was writing on the blackboard, crouched down and quietly slipped out of the classroom through the front door.
When Professor John finished writing on the blackboard and turned around, he found that Grandma Connie was nowhere to be seen, which made him momentarily lost in thought.
However, as a qualified university professor, Professor John quickly returned to normal.
After that, without Grandma Connie's "interference," the teaching process went smoothly.
After the two-hour lecture, Professor John was able to see Connie's grandmother again, who had come to pick up Sheldon and his companion.
After some internal struggle, Professor John once again boldly took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Grandma Connie.
On the other hand, after attending a satisfying university physics course, young Sheldon also discovered a new purpose in life: he wanted to learn more about physics.
Under these circumstances, Sheldon Jr. grew to like John, the learned physics professor, more and more.
"Mike, what do you think of Professor John?" A wonderful idea popped into Sheldon's head: he wanted to match John with Connie.
If the two get together, not only will Sheldon have easier access to school physics knowledge, but the Cooper family will also have another smart person.
In Sheldon's view, having more smart people in the family might change the Cooper family's stupid genes.
So, in a way, Sheldon Jr. is also very concerned about his family.
“Professor John is a nice guy. But I think Grandma Connie can handle her own affairs…” Mike said with a smile, holding two orbs of light that added +1 to Intelligence.
Indeed, when Professor John chose to approach and chat with Grandma Connie, a burst of light emanated from his body, indicating his intelligence as the primary attribute.
Therefore, Mike had a very good impression of him.
However, Mike did not intend to get too involved in Connie's grandmother's personal relationship issues.
After all, feelings are a very personal and mysterious thing, so it's best to let things take their natural course.
Moreover, Grandma Connie is a seasoned woman when it comes to relationships; she certainly knows better than anyone else what she needs.
……
On the drive home, Connie's grandmother seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Grandma, what do you think of Professor John?" Little Sheldon hadn't given up trying to matchmake John and Connie.
“John? He’s a gentleman and very funny…” Grandma Connie replied.
Thinking of John's awkwardness when he asked for her contact information, Grandma Connie couldn't help but smile.
"Then what do you think about having Professor John join our family?" Young Sheldon pressed on.
"Join our family?" Connie's grandmother was taken aback for a moment, then understood her grandson's intention.
She then said, "We've only known John for a short time, it's too early to talk about this. Let's observe him further."
Although Grandma Connie didn't give a clear answer, judging from her current demeanor, if Professor John were to take a more proactive approach, he would definitely have a chance.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, an elderly man on a bicycle arrived at Connie's grandmother's doorstep.
Yes, Professor John, having obtained Connie's grandmother's address, couldn't resist his longing and took the initiative to visit her during his weekend break.
Having learned that Connie's grandmother was very interested in Chinese food, Professor John brought along a wok and various Chinese seasonings.
Professor John, who had previously visited China for academic exchanges, also had in-depth knowledge of the local food culture.
"Oh, John, what brings you here?" Grandma Connie opened the door and her face lit up with surprise when she saw who it was.
“I heard you like Chinese food, so I’m going to show you how to cook it today,” Professor John said with a smile, pointing to the wok he was carrying on his back.
“Actually, you don’t need to bring your cooking utensils; I have some at home,” Grandma Connie said with a smile and a shake of her head.
Although Professor John's current appearance, burdened with a false accusation, is somewhat "comical," Grandma Connie still sensed the other party's sincerity.
In addition, because Mike would occasionally cook some stir-fries, there was a wok readily available at home.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Professor John didn't think there was anything wrong with his current appearance. On the contrary, he seemed very happy because he had something in common with Grandma Connie.
When Mike got up, he saw the two elderly people busy in the kitchen.
"Mike, you're up! Go wash up quickly, and you can try the Sichuan spicy chicken that John made for us in a little while," Grandma Connie greeted him with a smile.
At this moment, Professor John, who was busy chopping chicken pieces in the kitchen, also took a moment to peek out and greet him: "Mike, I heard from Connie that you are also very knowledgeable about Chinese cuisine. We can exchange ideas sometime."
“Okay, Professor John.” Mike wasn’t too surprised by Professor John’s arrival.
After all, judging from the other party's performance yesterday, it was clear that she was quite infatuated with Grandma Connie.
After Mike finished washing up, he saw the two elderly people still having a great time "playing" in the kitchen.
As for Sichuan-style spicy chicken, we'll probably have to wait until noon to see if we can get some, since it's a big dish.
"Grandma Connie, I have an appointment today, so I'll be going now. Have fun!" Mike didn't intend to stay home any longer and be a third wheel.
Chapter 147 Two Boats
"It's a real shame, John's cooking is about to start..." Grandma Connie seemed to be trying to persuade Mike to stay.
However, seeing the teasing smile on the other person's face, Grandma Connie smiled too and said, "Okay, have a great weekend too!"
After a tacit exchange of farewells, Mike left the house.
Today, the "Handsome Body Club" is having a family party at Karen's house, and Mike can go and keep them company.
After all, Mike still needs to appease the girls for declining to have lunch with them at school yesterday.
Mike hadn't gone far from his house when he saw Sheldon from across the street appear at his door, waving at him.
"What's wrong, Sheldon?" Mike asked with a smile, seeing the other's mysterious expression.
"Did Professor John go to Grandma's house?" Sheldon asked eagerly.
The scene where Professor John went to Connie's grandma's house was witnessed by young Sheldon, who was brushing his teeth.
Having discovered this crucial intelligence, Sheldon Jr. then kept a close eye on the situation across the street from his window.
"Well, Professor John is making spicy chicken for Connie..." Mike briefly explained the situation at home.
Young Sheldon wasn't interested in spicy chicken or anything like that; he continued with a mysterious look, "How far have they gotten?"
As he spoke, young Sheldon looked on with anticipation; he genuinely hoped that John could get along with Grandma Connie.
“I know what you’re thinking.” Mike smiled and shook his head, then advised, “It’s better to let things take their natural course.”
Seeing that Sheldon seemed to be deep in thought, Mike didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards Karen's house.
Because they own a food factory, Karen's parents are very busy with work and rarely stay at home, even on weekends.
So the huge villa became a paradise for the girls and Mike.
……
As evening fell, Mike, who had been playing all day, was driven home by Regina.
……
After watching Regina leave, Mike looked at young Sheldon in front of him and asked, "What is it now?"
It's as if Sheldon Jr. has been waiting here all day.
“I’ve been observing all day, and Professor John hasn’t left Grandma Connie’s house the entire time. I wonder how far their relationship has progressed,” said young Sheldon, expressing his doubts.
Young Sheldon was clearly very interested in and persistent in bringing John and Grandma Connie together.
"If you're so curious, why don't you go in and take a look yourself?" Mike asked.
“I’m afraid of bothering them…” Sheldon replied hesitantly. It seemed he wasn’t entirely ignorant of social etiquette.
After being repeatedly asked by Sheldon, Mike reluctantly agreed to help him find out information about Connie's grandmother and Professor John.
At home, the two were leisurely sitting on the sofa, sipping tea that John had brought and chatting.
They seemed to get along very well.
"Mike, you're back! Did you have a good day?" Grandma Connie greeted Mike warmly as he returned. Then, she happily shared, "You know what? John knows a lot of interesting things. He even knows all the different kinds of chili peppers..."
Professor John traveled to many countries when he was young, so his knowledge and horizons were naturally very broad.
With his deliberate attempts to please her, he made Grandma Connie feel very happy all day.
Upon hearing Grandma Connie's praise, Professor John also smiled with satisfaction.
He then looked at Mike and said with interest, "Connie told me that your sweet and sour pork and shredded pork with eggs are delicious. Can you tell me your secret?"
John has traveled to many countries, and he has a strong affinity for **country, which is vast and rich in resources and has a thriving culture in all aspects.
He even learned a set of health-preserving boxing techniques for the elderly from there.
"Actually, there's no secret. People from different regions naturally have different taste preferences. And depending on each person's individual circumstances, their taste choices will also differ..." Mike briefly explained his understanding of controlling taste.
For example, people who are physically active tend to have a stronger preference for salty or spicy food because they sweat a lot.
Conversely, people who use their brains a lot tend to prefer sweets...
Well, actually, this theory isn't entirely accurate. After all, developing personal eating habits is a long process that is influenced by many factors.
However, Professor John was very interested in the dietary theories that Mike casually mentioned.
Then, he discussed with Mike people's taste preferences in different climates.
Grandma Connie smiled again as she watched Professor John beside her, who was earnestly discussing the problem and drawing inferences from one instance to another.
Yes, after this day of interaction, Grandma Connie has also shown signs of being attracted to Professor John.
In her view, a serious and knowledgeable person is very charming.
Just then, the phone rang at home.
"It must have been Shelly calling. He's made several harassing calls today," Grandma Connie said, both speechless and amused.
Throughout the day, Sheldon didn't directly disturb the two elderly people's date. However, he still tried to find out how things were going by calling them.
However, Connie's grandmother did not understand her grandson's tactful way of asking the question; she even thought he was playing a "prank."
“I’ll go pick him up.” Mike hadn’t forgotten his promise to Sheldon to help him gather intelligence.
"Hey Connie, are you free tomorrow?" A gruff voice came through the receiver as the call connected.
"You are, Mr. Ella?" Mike recognized the voice.
Grandma Connie has a free-spirited personality and was a great beauty in her youth. Even now, in her later years, her charm remains undiminished.
Therefore, she is still very popular with old men, and as far as Mike knows, this Mr. Ella is one of Connie's suitors.
“I’m Ella, you must be Mike. Connie often mentions you…” After a few polite words, Jeff asked, “Is Connie home?”
Mike turned to look at Grandma Connie, who was chatting happily with Professor John, and said, "She's probably busy right now."
“Okay, I’ll call her again when she’s free…” Jeff wisely hung up the phone.
"Was that Shelly calling? I wonder what's wrong with him today," Connie's grandmother asked casually after Mike finished his call.
“It was Mr. Ella who just called,” Mike said truthfully. However, with Professor John present, he didn't mention anything specific.
"Ella? What's wrong with him?" Grandma Connie was surprised, then glanced guiltily at Professor John sitting next to her.
Mike smiled but didn't reply.
Professor John, who was standing nearby, could tell that Mike had something he wanted to say to Grandma Connie alone.
And since it was getting late, Professor John got up to say goodbye, saying, "I had a very pleasant day. Connie, thank you for your hospitality, I should be going now."
After saying this, Professor John nodded to Mike, slung his frying pan over his shoulder, and walked out.
As soon as Professor John stepped out the door, Grandma Connie asked, "Mike, what exactly happened with that phone call?"
“Mr. Ella wants to meet you tomorrow,” Mike said.
"Alright!" Grandma Connie looked troubled, then chased after her outside.
After watching Professor John ride away on his bicycle, she slowly walked back, looking preoccupied.
Chapter 148 Magical Brain Circuit
On one side is the lovable, witty, and knowledgeable John, and on the other is the strong, affectionate, and energetic Ella.
Both of them gave Connie's grandmother a good impression.
