It was Friday afternoon again, and Mike once again accompanied Sheldon to the entrance of the University of Texas.
Including this time, Mike had been here three times already.
Although the university courses offered a lot of useful physics knowledge, Mike couldn't be happy at all, simply because the person he was waiting for hadn't appeared the previous two times.
This made Mike wonder if he should privately go and actively seek out the other party.
After all, a 'Sheep' with an IQ of over 190 should be no less bountiful than Sheldon.
"Mike, how far along are Connie and Dr. Sturgis?" On the way to the classroom, Sheldon, who still didn't know he was being treated as a 'Sheep', asked about something he cared about.
Sheldon had learned a lot from the previous two university courses, so he hoped this situation could continue.
"From my observation, their relationship seems to be progressing very smoothly," Mike said truthfully.
Recently, Mike had noticed something subtle: Connie's complexion was getting better and better. It wasn't hard to guess that her relationship with Dr. Sturgis might have made significant progress.
"Really?" Sheldon seemed very happy to hear this news.
After all, in his understanding, if Connie could have a close relationship with Dr. Sturgis, then he could also stay and study at the University of Texas better.
This could probably be considered a kind of indirect 'selling Grandma' tactic.
"Then, when do you think Dr. Sturgis will propose to Connie?" As they entered the university classroom, Sheldon was still asking about the questions he cared about.
However, his conversation this time received no response.
"Mike? Mike!" Sheldon's expression showed some dissatisfaction after he realized Mike was distracted during their conversation.
And when he followed the other's gaze into the classroom, he frowned even more.
In the middle of the first row in the classroom, there was a little girl taking textbooks out of her pink backpack.
The seat she was occupying was exactly where Sheldon had sat the previous two times.
Moreover, from this little girl, Sheldon seemed to see a reflection of himself, a feeling he disliked very much.
Compared to Sheldon's unhappiness, Mike, on the other hand, had a satisfied smile on his face.
Finally found you, Paige.
Yes, the little girl sitting in the middle of the first row was indeed Paige.
And Sheldon, seeing his familiar seat occupied, was like encountering a natural enemy.
To reclaim his seat, Sheldon hurriedly walked up to Paige, glaring at her with his eyes, wanting her to give up the seat.
However, his behavior clearly had no effect on Paige.
The little girl calmly placed her textbooks on the desk, then looked up at Sheldon in front of her, and then her gaze shifted to Mike, who had come with him.
Today, Mike was wearing a simple white t-shirt, but he still looked very handsome.
To pull the little girl's attention back and continue his plan, Sheldon took the initiative to greet, "Hello—"
Paige, realizing she had been distracted, also shifted her gaze back to Sheldon and responded, "Hi—"
"Who are you?" Sheldon adopted a roundabout tactic.
"I'm Paige." At this time, Paige was still troubled by her super high IQ making it difficult to make friends. Seeing Sheldon initiate a conversation, she politely complimented, "Your bow tie is very pretty—"
Yes, Sheldon's outfit today was still the same as usual: a well-fitting small plaid shirt paired with a small bow tie.
"Thank you—" The compliment from the other party caught Sheldon off guard, but he quickly adjusted and subtly said, "Paige, you look very young. Did you come with an adult who's taking the class?"
His meaning was clear: he probably wanted the other party to find her parents, thereby giving up the seat.
On the other side, Paige sensed Sheldon's hostility. At the same time, with an IQ of over 190, she quickly realized the other party's intention.
"No, Dr. Sturgis invited me specifically to audit this class after hearing my research on 'Quantum Chromodynamics at High Temperatures'." Paige had no intention of giving up the seat, and even showed a challenging smile on her face.
"Is that so?" Sheldon didn't expect that this little girl across from him would actually have academic research.
"Yes, Dr. Sturgis is super nice~" Paige's smile became even brighter when she saw Sheldon flustered.
At this point, in the first round of confrontation between the two super child geniuses, Paige held the absolute upper hand.
When Sheldon realized something was wrong, he quickly changed the subject: "That's interesting, there's something I need to tell you. The Dr. Sturgis you're talking about is my mentor and also my Grandma's 'boyfriend'. He even went to Connie's and cooked Chongqing Chicken."
"Chongqing Chicken? Is it chili and chicken pieces put together?" Clearly, Paige had no knowledge of Chongqing Chicken. However, she was still smart enough to make herself the one asking questions, holding the initiative.
"No, this is a very profound topic…"
Well, actually, Sheldon didn't know much about cooking either. So, he changed the subject again and said, "In fact, Dr. Sturgis and I have discussed the quark model."
Paige, seeing that the other party was deliberately showing off, immediately said, "Then, do you know that Dr. Sturgis uses matrix control to perform golden domain byte calculations?"
"I don't know—" Sheldon replied helplessly.
The physics content Paige mentioned had clearly exceeded Sheldon's current knowledge of physics.
"Then do you know how to perform decomposition under the integral sign?" Paige continued to press.
"I don't know—" Sheldon replied helplessly again.
Seeing Sheldon repeatedly stumped, Paige finally asked a cutting question: "Then what do you know?"
Sheldon, being put on the spot, also realized that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he angrily retorted, "I know that you are currently sitting in my seat."
"Is that so? That's a pity." Paige had a victorious smile on her face, still showing no intention of giving up the seat.
At this point, in the second round of confrontation between the two super child geniuses, Paige still held the upper hand.
And seeing Sheldon about to leave, Paige then proactively asked, "How old are you?"
"I'm almost ten," Sheldon stopped and replied.
"Me too." Paige smiled and continued to ask, "When's your birthday?"
"February twenty-sixth," Sheldon said truthfully.
"Mine's March seventeenth." Paige said with a smile that Sheldon disliked, "It's unbelievable, I'm actually the youngest student in this class—"
Paige, who perfectly hit Sheldon's sore spot, also won the third proactive confrontation.
And Sheldon, who hadn't gained any advantage, was now in a terrible mood. He gave Paige, who was laughing out loud in front of him, a death glare, then sulkily went and sat on Mike's other side.
In just a few minutes, the two super child geniuses, who had three confrontations, could be said to have used all their cunning to win over the other.
Meanwhile, Mike, who had watched the whole drama unfold, was almost bursting with joy inside.
[Intelligence Attribute +3], [Intelligence Attribute +2]... [Intelligence Attribute +1], [Intelligence Attribute +1]...
As each light cluster merged into his body, Mike's intelligence attribute directly crossed the 170 mark.
It has to be said, Paige and Sheldon are indeed worthy of being called super child geniuses.
