Chapter 12 Little Sheldon’s Jealousy

After getting to the car and putting things away, Mike took out from the package a pair of sports wristbands and the copper whistle that had been packed separately by Boss Dell.

  Mike handed them to George and his son respectively and said, "Thank you for accompanying me to buy protective gear. Please accept these small gifts."

  Both George and his son were very happy to receive such "thoughtful" gifts.

  Next, Mike signaled to George that he wanted to bring some small gifts to Little Sheldon and Grandma Connie.

  So George drove the car and took Mike for a spin on the street.

  At the same time, little Sheldon returned home alone and met Mary's mother and Grandma Connie.

  He stepped forward excitedly and told the two of them about the friends he had made today.

  Mary was originally worried that Sheldon would be bullied and isolated because he couldn't make friends when he entered high school at such a young age.

  Now, hearing that little Sheldon has friends at school, she is naturally happy for her younger son.

  Grandma Connie also went up and hugged little Sheldon to show encouragement.

  Missy heard the noise in the bedroom and came out. After learning about little Sheldon, she said disdainfully: "Anyone who can be friends with Sheldon is probably a weirdo." She

  just made friends for her son. Mary breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard her little daughter say this, her heart lifted again.

  Knowing her youngest son's character, she struggled for a while and suggested, "Shelly, invite your friend to your house for dinner."

  Little Sheldon's character was simple and unreasonable, and she asked doubtfully, "Why?"

  Mary explained with a smile: "As friends, it is normal to have a meal at each other's house. This is also a sign of friendship between friends."

  In fact, Mary was worried that some people with ulterior motives would deliberately approach children under the pretext of making friends. Sheldon the "genius".

  The purpose of calling the other party to the house was to help little Sheldon to prevent him from being harmed.

  After hearing Mary's explanation, little Sheldon believed it without much thought. Still in a state of excitement, he immediately called Dan to invite him.

  After a while, little Sheldon came back happily and informed everyone that Dan had accepted his dinner invitation.

  Seeing that her "plan" had succeeded, Mary was "happy" and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

  Grandma Connie, as someone who had been there before, could immediately see through Mary's little thoughts. She followed to the kitchen and reminded: "Mary, it's not good for you to do this. It may hurt Sheldon and his friends."

  Mary's thoughts were exposed, but she still said harshly: "I'm doing this for Sheldon too." Okay."

  "Okay, I hope you don't scare Sheldon's friends for a while." Connie shook her head and left the kitchen coolly.

  ...

  When George and others came back, they saw a table of sumptuous meals. Several people in the room were also wearing decent clothes and looked very formal.

  George asked in surprise: "Is today an important day?"

  Seeing George's surprised look, Mary explained: "In a while, Sheldon's friends will come to the house as guests..."

  He did not tell her husband about his worries, but just told her He shared that Sheldon was happy to have made a friend.

  On the other side, Mike saw that everyone was here, so he also found an opportunity to distribute the gifts he brought to a few people.

  Grandma Connie's is a fashionable sun hat, Mary's is a soft silk scarf, Little Sheldon has a toy train, and Missy's is a pink Barbie doll.

  Except for little Sheldon who was busy playing with the train, everyone who received the gift immediately expressed their gratitude to Mike.

  Missy took the opportunity to throw herself into Mike's arms again.

  The little girl also discovered the big bag in Mike's hand. She asked curiously: "Mike, what is this?"

  Grandma Connie and Mary also looked over.

  Obviously, although Mike has only been here for a day, the Little Sheldon family already treats him as family.

  So, under the curious eyes of several people, Mike told them about joining the football team.    

  "Cool~" Missy sighed, and then pestered Mike to put on the protective gear for everyone to see.

  In fact, the little girl wanted to see it herself.

  Mike was still putting it off, but Grandma Connie on the side said naughtily: "Mike, put it on and try it on. Grandma also wants to see it ~"

  Seeing that he was also idle, Mike nodded. Then he picked up the protective gear and followed Little George to his room.

  With the help of little George, Mike quickly put on a full set of football equipment.

  Putting on the protective gear, Mike felt like a general ready to go. The protective gear was his armor.

  After he went out holding his helmet, he received cheers from several women in the room.

  Grandma Connie said with a smile: "Mike, you look like this, I don't know how many high school girls will be fascinated by you!"

  Missy started directly and touched Mike's protective gear.

  Seeing that Mary also had an expression of admiration, George said "jealously": "I thought I was so handsome back then~"

  Mary turned her head and looked at her husband's fat figure and huge beer belly, and said "tsk tsk" twice.

  Although she didn't say a word, it was extremely insulting.

  George touched his beer belly awkwardly and did not dare to brag anymore.

  Except for Sheldon, who was still playing with the train, everyone in the room praised Mike.

  Then, Mike, who felt too hot, went back to Little George's room alone and took off his equipment.

  When he came out again, Sheldon's friend Dan was already there.

  He sat at the dining table, facing the gazes of Little Sheldon's family, looking a little at a loss.

  And little Sheldon, who was supposed to introduce Dan to his family, didn't even notice that the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solidified.

  A table full of people stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

  The atmosphere improved after Mike sat at the table.

  After praying, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Grandma Connie talked about interesting things that happened when Mike entered school: how all the girls in the building were attracted to Mike, and how Mike got full marks on the entrance test...

  In Grandma Connie's words, Mike is A "heartthrob" who studies well and is smart.

  George took a sip of beer and joined in the chat. He mainly talked about Mike's talent in rugby.

  In his words, Mike has great athletic talent and is the future "savior" of the team.

  As the topic deepened, except for Little Sheldon and Mary, everyone else's attention was focused on Mike.

  Dan looked at Mike with envy and whispered to little Sheldon next to him: "I wish I were as good as him and popular with girls."

  Although little Sheldon didn't want to admit it, after a day of personal experience , he felt that Mike was "stealing" his limelight at every turn.

  Now even Dan, his only friend, is facing each other. Feeling the crisis, he was unconvinced and said: "I'm better than Mike, and the girls at school also like me very much..."

  "That's different..." Dan organized his words and whispered: "You are popular with girls. , because your testosterone secretion is insufficient, and they think you are cute. Mike is popular with girls because he is very attractive to the opposite sex."

  Little Sheldon: "What difference does this make?"

  Looking at Little Sheldon With his innocent appearance, Dan found it difficult to explain to him the difference between women's love for the opposite sex and their love for cute items.

  So Dan replied decisively: "No!"
