Dr. Cooper
Duncan's Home.
As soon as Adam returned, he was subjected to a barrage of questions from his mother, and with no other choice, he had to bring up Heather.
"Her name is Heather, and she is a student at the New York City University."
"Then what?"
My mother asked suspiciously, "You're not just going to give me any random girl you've 'dated' to fob me off, are you?"
"No."
Adam said speechlessly, "She came along for the holiday and is now with Juno and Karen."
"What?!"
My mom's voice rose several decibels. "Your girlfriend came all the way here, and you're not even going to bring her home for us to meet?"
"Don't get agitated."
Adam sighed, "She's just my girlfriend, not my wife. Are you planning to let her live in my house? That would be such a bad influence; people would gossip!"
At this point, he inexplicably thought of Sheldon.
In the original timeline, after dating Sheldon for several years, Amy wanted to have a romantic Sheldon 'Valentine's Day with Amy and invited him out.
Sheldon refused, saying that when they go out, they need to stay in hotels, and since they've only been dating for a few years, moving in together "so soon" would cause gossip.
Now Adam is facing the 'same' problem.
Tsk tsk!
They really are brothers in misfortune!
By the way, Sheldon should be home too. I'll go see him with Juno later.
"It has a bad influence?"
Mom glanced at Adam sideways. "Do you think you have any good image in this regard?"
"It might not have existed before, but it definitely does now."
Adam confidently stated, "Successful people are all virtuous and upright, in every aspect!"
"..."
Mom was speechless.
She was speechless at Adam's inexplicable confidence, because it was indeed the truth.
It is said that in the past, some people would talk about Adam's gossip and scandals in front of her, with a hint of mockery and contempt.
But ever since Adam became Columbia University and then Adam multi-millionaire author, he has truly become a good son of the Duncan's Home.
Even when gossip and scandals from the past are occasionally brought up, they become a testament to Adam's charm. The reason there are so many of them is because the girls are too proactive, Adam, being kind-hearted, can't bear to refuse them.
"Invite her and Juno over for dinner tonight. It's not like we have to ask her to stay at our house. What's wrong with that?"
"Alright."
Adam had no reason to refuse and could only agree.
After tidying up his things and playing with his little sister Charlie for a while, Adam went out to find Juno and the others.
As for the claim that Toby, the Fifth Brother, has no presence at all?
Stop joking! Boys are all naughty and not cute when they're young. As the older brother, it's good enough if I don't beat them up. What do they need to feel important about themselves?
Karen's Home.
"Ah!"
Heather was a little confused when she heard that she was to visit Adam's house as Adam's girlfriend.
She and Adam had spent more than two years together, and she was deeply influenced by Adam and Juno. With her previous experience, she had some understanding of Adam's "more than friends, less than lovers" view on relationships.
Besides, they are all young, and they are very happy and blessed to be together. Why think so much?
With that time, there are so many other good things to do.
However, when she discovered that she had suddenly leveled up, after being stunned for a moment, she was still overjoyed.
If she were from the East Country, several phrases would probably flash through her mind right now: perseverance, success comes naturally, and constant dripping wears away a stone...
Juno looked at Adam with a grin, her eyes seeming to say, "Are you serious?"
"No way."
Adam returned a helpless look.
"Shall we go see Sheldon first?"
Adam, somewhat uncomfortable with the atmosphere, changed the subject, saying, "He should be back from Germany."
"Alright."
Juno nodded.
The three women needed to get ready, Adam could only wait on the sidelines.
This wait lasted for an hour.
The Cooper's Home.
Ding-dong!
Adam rang the doorbell.
It's you!
It wasn't Mary Cooper who opened the door, but a tall and beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen.
"Hi, Missy, you're getting more and more beautiful."
Adam greeted him with a smile.
This is not flattery.
Missy, Sheldon's twin sister, was very beautiful as a child. Now that she has grown into a young woman, she has not only not lost her looks, but has become even more beautiful. She has a slender and well-proportioned figure and still has room to grow.
No wonder that in the original timeline, his appearance attracted a large crowd from the Caltech Physics Department, with Leonard and his two companions completely captivated.
Even Sheldon, who has always been indifferent to this and looked down on his sister, said that his sister does indeed have the looks and figure that Westerners like the most.
"You're too late."
Missy glanced at Heather and teased her with a smile.
"..."
Adam's lips twitched involuntarily.
What's too late?
Why can't he understand what I'm saying!
"Come in."
Missy stepped aside, letting the four of them in as she said, "My mom went to church, and Georgie Jr. and Veronica are at work. I'll be going to help them out later..."
Where is Sheldon?
Adam laughed.
Adam was aware of what had happened to the Cooper's Home over the years.
First of all, Georgie Jr.. did marry Veronica at a young age.
Unfortunately, Sheldon's father never got the chance to collect the money he lost when Georgie Jr. bet that he would never get married.
Because Sheldon's father died of a heart attack last year.
The Cooper's Home faced great hardship after losing their breadwinner.
After all, Sheldon's mother only works at a church and has a limited income, Missy is still in high school, and Sheldon graduated from university and went to the Heidelberg Academy in Germany as a visiting scholar last year, all of whom need money.
At this time, Georgie Jr.., as the eldest brother, stepped up, worked hard, and supported the family.
I heard a while ago that Georgie Jr. has a special talent for tires and is now raising funds to open his own shop and become his own boss.
"You're looking for Sheldon? What a terrible choice."
Missy shook her head and looked at Adam with pity, as if Adam could have come for any other reason than to see Sheldon.
"He's in the garage, you guys remember, right?"
"OK".
Adam nodded, and together with Heather, Karen, Juno arrived at the Cooper's Home's garage.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
As they approached, a familiar voice reached their ears. Adam and Juno exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
Upon closer inspection, one sees a meticulously crafted toy train moving rhythmically on a circular model of train tracks inside the garage.
Beside him, a handsome boy of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in a driver's uniform and hat, holding a controller, was happily controlling a model train through mountains and tunnels.
If it's not Sheldon, then who is it?
"Hey, Sheldon!"
"Hi, Adam, hi, Juno."
Young Sheldon looked up, pursed his lips and greeted them, then turned his attention back to the model train.
Adam and Juno, unfazed, introduced Heather: "Sheldon, this is me, um, my girlfriend Heather. Heather, this is my good friend Sheldon Cooper..."
"It's Sheldon Dr. Cooper!"
Sheldon interrupted.
Heather:...
