Rebirth of America: The American Drama System

At the entrance of the public high school.

"Owen."

"Mrs. Cooper, where is Sheldon?"

When Owen was riding over, he was about to go in when he was stopped by Mary Cooper who was waiting there. He looked around and saw Sheldon was not there, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"He's in."

Mary looked worried and said thoughtfully: "Owen, you are Shelly's good friend, and you have always been mature and sensible. Recently, Shelly got very close to a high school girl. She called her when she got home at night, and the calls lasted for more than an hour. …”

"You're talking about Libby."

Owen's mouth twitched, and he secretly complained to the American drama system: "When did Sheldon and I's friendship level rise from friends to good friends? Why didn't you remind me?"

"..."

American TV drama system: "There is no evidence that your friendship has improved to the level of good friends. According to speculation, the good friend mentioned by the other party is a general term and does not meet the qualifications recognized by the system."

"I'll just say it."

Just when Owen was laughing at himself, Mary nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, this is this girl Libby. You and Shelly are together every day, so you should know something about this Libby. You know, even though Shelly is here, I'm in high school, but I'm only 9 years old..."

"I understand, Mrs. Cooper."

Owen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Sheldon and Libby have nothing to do. The reason why he chatted happily with Libby is just because he has recently developed a strong interest in geology. Libby's future ambition is When a geologist is very knowledgeable about geology, they are purely academic exchanges.”

"I know I know."

Mary murmured: "Shelley is not little George, I don't need to worry."

Little George Cooper is Sheldon's brother. Now he has entered adolescence, and the corner of the room is filled with all kinds of 'interesting' magazines.

"Okay, you go to class quickly, I'll go back first."

After Mary came back to her senses, she forced a smile and said goodbye to Owen. Looking at her forced smile, it was obvious that Owen's comfort did not have much effect.

This is also normal. In Mary's mind, her precious little son Shelly should go to school to learn knowledge and come home from school to be her dear baby. Now a woman suddenly appears, vaguely breaking the close relationship between mother and son. If it were other mothers, they would probably be worried and unhappy.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Cooper."

lunch time.

The schedule of high schools in the United States is different from that on the other side of the ocean. They do not have morning and evening self-study. They have classes at seven or eight in the morning, only a short lunch break at noon, and then continue classes, and end school at two or three in the afternoon.

Because the time is short, most students eat in the school cafeteria. Of course, many parents will prepare lunch boxes for their children in advance so that they can eat a loving lunch.

Students gather together in twos and threes, eating lunch and chatting. At this time, the "campus geek" who has no friends will automatically stay away from the lively crowd and hide in a deserted corner to eat lunch silently.

Sheldon was like this before, but his market has been on the rise recently, and he has three more friends around him before he knows it.

Campus library.

The four of them sat at the table, eating and chatting.

"You mean, without geology, there would be no theory of biological evolution?"

“Charles Lyell told Charles Darwin that the Earth was much older than everyone thought, so Darwin had the courage to discover that all species have evolved over billions of years.”

"Well said, I could use this example to shame the Sunday school pastor."

As usual, Sheldon asked questions and Libby answered his geological questions. As the two asked and answered, Owen and Tan almost forgot about it. Owen was so happy that he ate in silence, thinking about the math problems he encountered recently. .

Ever since I spent existence points to upgrade my intelligence from lv3 to lv4 and become gifted, although I am not as good as those lv5 geniuses, my learning progress has also been greatly improved, and I have experienced an unprecedented joy of learning.

Especially in mathematics, Owen was very interested in mathematics in his previous life. However, due to his limited talent, after entering college, like all knowledge, all knowledge deteriorated and disappeared. Now that he has picked it up again, because of his improvement in talent, mathematics is even more handy. It is simply a bit Obsessed.

"I don't know which is more beautiful, your mind or your eyes."

Tan, however, did not have Owen's mentality. He stared blankly at the black pearl Libby who was chatting. The youthful restlessness made him, who could only be friends with Sheldon before, couldn't help it anymore, and forcefully interrupted. The appearance of lust and soul.

"Please, Tan, we're eating."

Sheldon and Libby looked at Tan with disgust, and Tan came back to his senses and smiled.

"You know, this week, there's a space shuttle movie at the National Science Museum, and it's an IMAX movie."

Libby gave Tan a big eye roll, then turned to chat with Sheldon again: "The screen is very big, and there is a very good geology exhibition."

Sheldon frowned and said, "It's in Houston, right? How can we get there?"

Libby shrugged and said, "I'll drive."

Tan returned to his old ways and blurted out: "Count me in, I really want to go to the movies with you."

Sheldon asked in surprise: "Don't you need to ask your parents for permission?"

"unnecessary."

Tan said affirmatively.

"It's a good thing you're not my son."

Sheldon complained and looked sideways at Owen: "Owen, what about you?"

"I have something to do this week and can't go."

Owen thought about the plot, shook his head and refused. He had no interest in it, but Tan secretly gave Owen an approving look.

After Sheldon returned, he talked to Mary. Mary felt jealous and refused without hesitation. Sheldon was very angry about this. He waved the mop and vented his anger by sweeping the mop, which made Mary feel so distressed that she compromised and agreed. First meet with Libby, and if she has no problem with her, she will agree to Sheldon following her there.

When Libby calmly satisfied Mary's conditions, Mary reluctantly agreed, but Libby smiled clearly and said: "Mrs. Cooper, actually you don't have to worry, I have many years of experience as a nanny."

"Be a nanny, be a nanny, be a nanny..."

The smile on Sheldon's face disappeared, and these three words kept echoing in his mind. He dropped a sentence and turned back to the room: "I'm sorry, I don't feel very well. You can go ahead and don't wait for me."

He thought that he and Libby were getting along as equals, but he didn't want Libby to treat him as a child. This was absolutely intolerable!

Monday lunchtime.

Libby is no longer in the library.

Owen knowingly asked with a smile: "Sheldon, how did you feel about going to the movies with Libby and the others over the weekend?"

"I did not go."

Sheldon said arrogantly: "It doesn't feel interesting, and now I feel that geology is not a real science, but more like a hobby. Collecting stones is really a bit childish."

"Tan, what about you?"

Owen looked at Tan again.

"Well……"

Tan recalled the embarrassment of wanting to hug Libby in the movie theater, but was forcefully rejected by Libby. He concealed his smile and said, "I agree with Sheldon. When I went to the movie this time, I found that Libby was interested in me, but I still think everyone should do it." Friends are better.”

"Looks like we're back as a threesome of friends again?"

"Yes."

"That's right."

Owen's words were echoed by the two people.

"The boat of friendship can capsize easily."

Owen thought funny in his heart, and suddenly his eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition came over him. He seemed to have forgotten something...
