Not long after the Seaver family arrived, Maria's family also arrived at the police station, but unlike Mike, only her mother came.

Maria's mother, a singer at the New York Principal Opera House, was a white Irish-American, and her father, a black Venezuelan and an aeronautical engineer, divorced when Maria was 3 years old.

Mariah has lived with her mother since she was a child, and his father is far away in Seattle and works for Boeing, so it can only be her mother, and Mariah Carey will embark on the road of music in the future, and the relationship with her mother is very large.

Maria's mother, when she learns what happened, is full of gratitude to Mike, Maria is her youngest daughter and the most beloved daughter, and she really doesn't know what to do if something really happens.

After almost the night at the police station, until the early hours of the morning, Mike was able to go home with his family, but when he returned home, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

However, after being educated by the Seavers again and placed on a two-month lockdown, Mike didn't think about anything else.

He didn't have any thoughts about the grounding, and his family also cared about him, so they did it.

But when Mike woke up the next day, he found that he was famous, and his name appeared in almost every newspaper in New York.

Americans' attitudes toward such things as righteousness and courage are actually very ambivalent.

On the one hand, the social values and laws of the United States do not encourage individuals to stand up in the face of violent crimes, but should call the police while ensuring their own safety.

But on the other hand, Americans are extremely worshipful of individual heroism, which goes without saying that Hollywood blockbusters and superhero comics are full of individual heroism.

Therefore, although Mike's matter was not advocated by the police, and was even later used as a negative example by the school to educate students, it was praised in the media...... Both white and black.

Although it was a black man who was killed by Mike, the rescued Maria herself can be said to be African-American, so it has nothing to do with race or anything.

Therefore, Mike's righteousness and courage are completely unquestionable, and he is characterized as a heroic boy who stands up when he sees an innocent girl being harmed.

But this kind of fame, Mike said that he didn't want it at all, after being reborn, he just wanted to make some money quietly or something, be a little tyrant quietly, be a hero? Forget it.

Because he was afraid that Mike would leave a psychological shadow, Jason didn't let him go to school the next day, but asked him for leave, although Mike didn't actually need it, but he didn't mind being lazy at all, and going to school or something was too annoying.

And the school also knew the reason from the police, so it was very happy to approve the leave, and praised Mike on the phone...... But back in school, use Mike as a negative example.

When Mike reappeared at school, he was still a hero in the eyes of the students...... Although the school has taught them Mike as a negative example, young people always worship heroes.

However, Mike doesn't like this feeling of being seen as a monkey, so his face is pitch black all day, but he is regarded as a cool performance by more girls.

"Hey, look who this is, our big hero" After school, Mike had just finished packing his things when he was stopped by three guys, needless to say, naturally Mike's three best friends, Jerry, Eddie and Bona.

When he saw Jerry, Mike finally remembered that he had forgotten something, and it seemed that he had forgotten the item in the parking lot that night.

But obviously, Jerry didn't care about that matter, they were more concerned about Mike's "hero saving beauty" that day.

"What's there to say, it's just a misfire," Mike said, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, didn't you have something going on with Maria?" The three of them disbelieved.

"Don't you kid, okay? We spent almost the whole night at the police station that day, what could have happened? Mike complained speechlessly, besides, that girl really didn't suit his appetite...... Well, of course, with the other party's figure, a dewy relationship or something, Mike still doesn't mind.

"That's a shame," all three lamented.

"But it's okay, when Maria comes back to class, Mike, you still have a chance," Jerry said, rolling his eyes.

Maybe it's because this incident has a big impact on Maria, so she hasn't come to school since then.

"Okay, that's the end of this topic, you know that I have to be grounded for two whole months because of this matter" Mike angrily stopped the three friends from continuing on this topic.

Getting rid of the entanglement of his classmates and friends, Mike returned home to calm down.

"Hey, look, our big hero is back" shouted Ben, who was doing his homework in the living room when he saw Mike come home.

"Hey, little ghost, I said it, whoever mentions this again, don't eat the dessert I made for a week" Mike said annoyedly.

"Well, well, when we didn't say anything" the little guy was immediately honest, in addition to Mike's usual cooking, he would also make some desserts, which were the little guy's favorite, and now it has almost become Mike's life.

"Okay, Mike, we still don't agree with what you're doing, but I'm still going to say, good kid," Jason smiled and comforted as he was drinking coffee.

"Thank you, Dad, but I don't think I want to have a second time about this," Mike said, rolling his eyes, and then asked a little strangely, "What?" Carol hasn't come back yet? ”

The lower grades leave school earlier than the upper grades, so it is usually Carol who arrives home first.

"No, of course she's back, and she's upstairs writing an article that says she's going to contribute to the school newspaper," Jason replied after a moment's thought.

"The Whitman Chronicle?" Mike asked.

"Seems so," Jason thought for a moment and nodded.

The Whitman Chronicle is a regional newspaper in the Long Island area named after the famous local poet Whitman.

In fact, it is a student newspaper, and the editors of this newspaper are also teachers from various middle schools.

And Mike also knew that the Whitman Chronicle was going to hire an assistant, because Simmons, the teacher who was the editor of the newspaper at their school, openly recruited the whole school, but Mike definitely had no interest.

But I didn't expect Carol to sign up.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Mike shrugged and went to cook.
