Naruto: Uchiha Shiroge Rebellion
Back at the Cooper household, Mike, who had returned after about half a month, received a warm welcome from Meemaw Connie and the Cooper family during dinner.
This included the quirky Young Sheldon.
Over the past half month, Young Sheldon had been following Professor John, contributing greatly to the promotion of the Thruster Recovery project in authoritative journals and on the internet.
Because of this, Professor John's research project successfully secured a nomination for this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.
Young Sheldon, who always wanted to surpass Mike intellectually, believed he had contributed more to this Nobel project.
So, upon suddenly seeing Mike, he couldn't help but show off a little.
Mike listened to Young Sheldon's boasting with a smile, then turned to the relatively quiet Paige and asked, "How's school?"
Unlike Young Sheldon, Paige, who didn't care much for honors, went back to school to continue classes after Mike left.
" pretty much the same as before..."
Paige looked at Mike with joy in her eyes, but her tone remained calm: "Principal Tom takes good care of you. As long as you don't blow up the school, no one will trouble you."
The honors Mike had won for the school were enough for him to walk around like he owned the place. And the old Principal Tom obviously cherished that old sentiment.
So under the old principal's tolerance, taking leave or skipping class was nothing to Mike.
Having understood the general situation at school, Mike turned to the smiling Meemaw Connie and asked, "Meemaw Connie, how have you been lately?"
After falling out with Professor John, Meemaw Connie had been in low spirits for quite a while.
Until Mike went to Genovia, she hadn't really recovered.
"You know me, eating well, sleeping soundly..."
Meemaw Connie seemed to have moved on from her last relationship and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a secret, I've won quite a bit of money at the nearby arcade recently. Nothing makes me happier than that."
Meemaw Connie was an open-minded person; a little surprise in life could make her happy for a long time.
And winning money at her favorite arcade was undoubtedly something worth celebrating for her.
"Is it the basement arcade at the intersection? Can you really make money there?" Mike frowned unconsciously.
Meemaw Connie's happy appearance indicated that she had won a lot of money in the arcade recently.
And Mike knew that dilapidated arcade at the intersection; its business qualification was somewhere between legal and illegal, and the equipment inside was all eliminated second-hand goods.
To maintain the profitability of such an arcade, the boss, Collison, was obviously a shrewd businessman.
Various signs indicated that Meemaw Connie might have encountered a "fishing" scheme this time.
This technique is common in the gambling industry, often with strict screening of targets to be fleeced.
Meemaw Connie's mental state some time ago fit the requirements for being scammed perfectly.
"I've won over a thousand dollars intermittently these past few days..." Meemaw Connie, unaware of the severity of the problem, kindly shared: "How about it, I'll take you to see it next time."
"I, I want to go..."
Before Mike could react, Missy raised her small hand excitedly.
Among the Cooper family, if you ask who is most like Meemaw Connie, it must be Missy.
Equally disregarding secular views, and equally full of desire to explore new things.
Of course, it's also possible that the little girl was short of pocket money.
Seeing their daughter's untimely performance gave George and Mary a headache.
"Mom, don't bring unhealthy things home..." Mary directed her dissatisfaction at her mother.
"Okay, okay." Facing Mary's accusation, Meemaw Connie admitted defeat. But soon she smiled and said to her granddaughter: "Missy, how about we go shopping together this weekend? Meemaw will buy you ice cream."
The person in this family who cares most about Missy's feelings is probably Meemaw Connie.
On the other side, Mary looked at her unreliable mother and daughter and could only shake her head helplessly; there was nothing she could do.
"Hasn't Professor John contacted you recently?" After the farce, Mike brought the topic back.
The reason Meemaw Connie went to the arcade frequently recently was probably due to the breakup.
Now that John's research project was over, logically speaking, it was time for him to come back and find Meemaw Connie.
"We're done, I have nothing to say to him." Mentioning Professor John, the smile on Meemaw Connie's face disappeared.
Obviously, she was still angry about Professor John's previous behavior.
And Meemaw Connie's reaction also let the Cooper family and Mike see her determination to break up.
Although it was a pity that this twilight romance ended, it might not be a bad thing for two elderly people who were not suitable for each other.
After all, short pain is better than long pain.
At the same time, on a bench in the park at dusk, two sloppy old men were drinking cheap beer.
Professor John and Dr. Linkletter, unkempt and smelling of alcohol, didn't look like elites at all at this time.
No one could associate these two old men who looked like homeless people with the professor and doctor who had just received a Nobel nomination.
"John, you broke up with Connie. Can I pursue her in the future!" Dr. Linkletter, who was dizzy from drinking, spoke his mind.
Maybe at their age, they can truly realize the importance of family.
Like Professor John, Dr. Linkletter, who was nearly seventy, had also dedicated his life to science.
Now slightly successful in his career, his home was still cold and cheerless, which was why he couldn't forget the unique Meemaw Connie.
Accompanying Professor John to drink away his sorrows this time was to seek the other party's consent so he could pursue his ex-girlfriend.
"No, haven't you heard an Eastern proverb: Don't touch a friend's wife!" Professor John was drunk, but not completely drunk.
Even though he failed to get back together with Meemaw Connie many times before, Professor John still had a trace of hope in his heart. So even if he drank, he couldn't agree to let Dr. Linkletter pursue his ex-girlfriend.
"Alright, I respect your opinion... who asked us to be friends..." A person like Dr. Linkletter not only had no partner but also few friends.
Therefore, he valued this rare friendship quite a lot.
Dr. Linkletter, having expressed his feelings, moved himself. Who knew when he turned around, he found that his valued friend had already fallen asleep on the park bench.
...
At school, Mike, who had received a Nobel nomination, didn't have his life affected much.
For some students in Medford, they didn't even know what a Nobel Prize was.
Therefore, apart from many girls who admired the Summer League champion coming to ask for Mike's autograph every day, his campus life was quite peaceful.
On the other side, Mia's princess turmoil also passed in school, so the girl's campus life also returned to calm.
Of course, in Mike's view, Mia now not only looked like a princess but also increasingly had the temperament of a real princess.
For example, this Princess Highness had learned to stick to her bottom line.
Time passed day by day like this, calm and beautiful.
Only one evening, Mike found that Meemaw Connie, who rushed back, looked very ugly.
