American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Mike, what do you think I should choose?" Connie's grandmother asked as she returned to the house.

Although Grandma Connie had a rich emotional history, she still lost her composure when the time came.

After all, feelings are sometimes just that complicated.

"You mean Mr. Ella and Professor John?" Mike rarely saw his grandmother Connie looking troubled. So he shared his thoughts: "I think following your heart is the best approach. Or you could learn from me..."

Mike's private life had long been known to Connie's grandmother, so he stopped pretending.

On the other side, Connie's grandmother, who was waiting for Mike to have some good suggestions, shook her head in disgust upon hearing his shameless remarks and went to the side.

She really needs to calm down right now...

However, Mike was right about one thing: at Connie's age, she no longer had many demands for material things, and she certainly had the right to follow her heart and seek a purer kind of happiness.

In Connie's mind, Ella felt like a strong bear, while John felt like a cute little potato.

If she were twenty years younger, Grandma Connie might have chosen the strong bear, but now she prefers "Little Potato".

Thinking about the moments she spent with Professor John, Grandma Connie couldn't help but smile.

Yes, who can resist a cute little potato?

At this point, Connie's grandmother's heart gave her clear guidance. And having made a decision, her mood brightened.

Just then, the phone rang again at home.

"What's up, Ella?... Please invite me to dinner at a restaurant tomorrow... Okay, see you tomorrow..."

Grandma Connie was no young girl after all. Since she had already made up her mind, she decided to explain the situation to Ella.

Tomorrow will be a good opportunity.

The next day, feeling somewhat guilty, Connie's grandmother patiently spent her lunch break with Ella and treated her to a big meal.

Ella had a happy smile on her face all the way to drive Connie's grandmother home.

Connie's grandma's behavior today made him feel that happiness was on its way.

So Ella seized the opportunity and said, "Connie, we're not young anymore. If you'd like..."

Just as Ella was about to make a heartfelt confession, Grandma Connie interrupted him.

“Ella, you might have misunderstood,” Grandma Connie confessed. “I already have someone I like. Don’t come looking for me anymore…”

While rejecting Ella, Grandma Connie thought of the lovely Professor John, and a sweet smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

However, this was far too cruel for Mr. Ella, who was about to confess his feelings.

Upon hearing the bad news, he paused for a moment, then his expression turned sad: "We went bowling together, watched movies together... I thought you understood my heart..."

Ella recounted the happy times she had shared with her grandmother Connie, then thought about the impending loss of her. Overwhelmed with emotion, she burst into tears like a child.

……

Grandma Connie, who thought the matter was over, underestimated Ella's determination.

That afternoon, a team of deliverymen arrived at Connie's grandmother's house in their car.

"Excuse me, is this Connie's house?" the deliveryman asked.

“It’s me, but I don’t remember buying anything,” Grandma Connie said in surprise.

As she watched the expensive new furniture being unloaded from the truck, Grandma Connie seemed to understand something.

"Wait a minute, these things aren't mine. Please take them back to Ella." Grandma Connie wasn't one to take advantage of others.

Moreover, she and Ella had nothing going on to begin with, so she couldn't accept Ella's kindness.

"Sorry, we only handle delivery." The deliveryman continued unloading furniture from the truck.

After roughly estimating the value of the furniture, it was estimated to be over ten thousand US dollars. Connie's grandmother couldn't sit still any longer; she immediately called Ella.

"Ella, what do you mean by this?" Connie's grandmother questioned as soon as the call connected.

"Connie, I know you don't like me, but you can't stop me from liking you..." Ella said in a very manly way before hanging up the phone.

"Hello...hello..." Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Grandma Connie was both amused and annoyed by Ella's behavior.

However, one thing is certain: Ella's actions did not win back Connie's heart.

Over the following weekend, Grandma Connie, having figured out what she wanted, developed a rapid relationship with Professor John.

With both of them interested in each other, the two took advantage of Mike's absence from home again to finally take their relationship to the next level.

A satisfied Professor John also discovered Connie's grandmother's new furniture during his break.

"Connie, your new furniture is very nice," Professor John praised.

Connie's grandmother's expression was complicated upon hearing John's praise. After some hesitation, she told him the truth.

I thought this would anger Professor John. But instead, he smiled and said, "Very interesting. It excites me even more to have someone competing with me for it."

Professor John, experiencing love for the first time, paced around the room a few times before asking with great interest, "Connie, could you give me his contact information? I'd like to get to know him..."

Strictly speaking, Professor John is also a genius in terms of intelligence.

The ideas of geniuses are sometimes baffling.

That afternoon, Professor John found Mr. Ella's furniture store by following the address given by Connie's grandmother.

"Are you here to provoke me?" Ella's face darkened when she saw Professor John enter the store.

“No, I just want to know more about Connie’s past life…” Professor John said with a smile.

Then, under Ella's angry expression, Professor John, oblivious to everything else, started looking at the furniture in the store on his own.

“This lounge chair is quite nice,” Professor John finally stopped in front of a lounge chair, looking somewhat surprised.

Ella, who initially thought the other party was there to provoke her, became interested when the other party brought up her area of ​​expertise.

“Of course, this is the work of a master…” Ella explained.

Then, the two men started by talking about chairs, and they got along very well, eventually even drinking beer in the store.

In the end, Professor John successfully bought the deck chair.

After talking with him, Ella felt that Professor John was actually a pretty good person.

However, before parting, Ella still said something harsh: "Don't think that just because of this, I will give up on Connie."

“I accept your challenge,” Professor John smiled, then struck the pose of a medieval man accepting a duel.

In fact, after a pleasant chat, Professor John also felt that the other person was a very nice person.

That evening, when Professor John returned home, he couldn't help but call Grandma Connie and tell her the whole story of how he had become friends with Ella.

Professor John, who had hoped to receive praise, ended up being "scolded" by Grandma Connie instead.

In Connie's grandmother's opinion, the two men's childish behavior made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Professor John made a big mistake without realizing it.

Chapter 149 Peggy

It was Friday afternoon again, and Mike once again accompanied Sheldon to the entrance of the University of Texas.

Including this time, Mike has been here three times now.

Although he learned a lot of useful physics knowledge in college, Mike was not happy at all, simply because the person he was waiting for had not shown up the first two times.

This made Mike consider whether he should take the initiative to contact the other party privately.

After all, a leek with an IQ of over 190 should be just as plentiful as Sheldon Jr.

"Mike, how far have Grandma Connie and Professor John gotten?" On the way to the classroom, young Sheldon, unaware that he was being taken advantage of, asked the question he was concerned about.

The two previous university courses had been very rewarding for Sheldon, and he hoped that this would continue.

"From what I've observed, their relationship seems to be progressing very smoothly," Mike said truthfully.

Recently, Mike noticed something subtle: Grandma Connie's complexion was getting better and better. It wasn't hard to guess that her relationship with Professor John might have made significant progress.

"Really?" Young Sheldon seemed very happy to hear the news.

After all, in his mind, if Grandma Connie could have a close relationship with Professor John, he would be better able to stay at the University of Texas to study.

This could be considered a disguised form of "selling out one's grandmother" tactic.

"So when do you think Professor John will propose to Grandma Connie?" Young Sheldon asked, still pondering his question, as he entered the university classroom.

However, his conversation went unanswered.

"Mike? Mike~" Young Sheldon looked a little annoyed when he noticed that Mike was daydreaming during the conversation.

When he followed the other person's gaze into the classroom, he frowned even more.

In the middle of the first row of the classroom, a little girl was taking her textbook out of her pink schoolbag.

The spot she was sitting in was exactly the same spot where Sheldon had sat the previous two times.

Moreover, Sheldon seemed to see his own reflection in this little girl, a feeling he disliked intensely.

In contrast to Sheldon's unhappiness, Mike on the other side had a satisfied smile on his face.

I've finally found you—Peggy.

Yes, the little girl sitting in the middle of the first row right now is Peggy.

Seeing his familiar spot occupied, Sheldon felt like he had encountered his nemesis.

In order to reclaim his seat, Sheldon hurriedly walked up to Peggy, glaring at her and trying to get her to give up her seat.

However, his actions clearly had no effect on Peggy.

After the little girl methodically placed her textbooks on the table, she looked up at little Sheldon in front of her, and then her gaze shifted to Mike, who had come with her.

Mike was wearing a simple white t-shirt today, but he still looked very handsome.

To regain the little girl's attention and continue with his plan, young Sheldon greeted her, "Hello~"

Peggy, realizing she had been daydreaming, turned her gaze back to Sheldon and replied, "Hi~"

"Who are you?" Sheldon Jr. adopted a roundabout tactic.

"I'm Peggy." At this point in time, Peggy was still troubled by her inability to make friends due to her exceptionally high intelligence. Seeing that young Sheldon had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation, she politely complimented him, "Your bow tie is very pretty!"

Yes, Sheldon's outfit today was the same as always: a well-fitting plaid shirt paired with a small bow tie.

"Thank you~" The compliment caught Sheldon off guard, but he quickly composed himself and said cryptically, "Peggy, you look very young. Did you come with some adult who's giving a lesson?"

His meaning was quite clear: he probably wanted the other person to go to their parents so that they would give up their spot.

On the other side, Peggy sensed Sheldon's hostility. At the same time, with an IQ of over 190, she quickly realized his intentions.

“No, Professor John heard about my research on ‘Quantum Chromodynamics under High Temperatures’ and specifically invited me to audit his class.” Peggy had no intention of giving up her seat; in fact, she even wore a provocative smile.

"Really?" Young Sheldon was surprised that this young girl actually had academic research.

“Yes, Professor John is a really nice guy~” Peggy’s smile became even brighter when she saw Sheldon get the short end of the stick.

Thus, in the first round of the clash between the two super prodigies, Peggy held an absolute advantage.

Realizing something was amiss, young Sheldon quickly changed the subject: "That's interesting. There's something I need to tell you. The Professor John you mentioned is my mentor and also my grandma's 'boyfriend.' He even went to Grandma Connie's house and cooked her spicy Chinese chicken."

"Spicy chicken? Is it just chili peppers and chicken pieces together?" Clearly, Peggy wasn't familiar with spicy chicken. However, she cleverly positioned herself as the one asking the question, thus gaining the upper hand.

"No, this is a very profound subject..."

Well, actually, Sheldon doesn't know much about cooking either. So, he changed the subject again, saying, "In fact, I talked to Professor John about the quark model."

Seeing that the other party was intentionally showing off, Peggy immediately said, "So, do you know that Professor John can use matrix control to perform byte calculations in the gold domain?"

"I don't know," Sheldon replied helplessly.

The physics that Peggy mentioned was clearly beyond the physics knowledge that Sheldon was currently learning.

"Do you know how to perform factorization using the integral notation?" Peggy pressed on.

"I don't know," Sheldon replied helplessly once again.

Seeing that Sheldon was stumped by a series of questions, Peggy finally asked the most pointed one: "And what do you know?"

Stumped, Sheldon realized that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he said angrily, "I know, you're sitting in my seat now."

"Really? That's a shame." Peggy smiled victoriously, still showing no intention of giving up her seat.
