Chapter 7: Science is fascinating
There were some awkward little scenes at the beginning of the dinner, and Barry said first: "That's a good idea, learning comes first." ”
Peggy followed: "Falling in love in high school can indeed effectively reduce the efficiency of studying, and you made the right choice. ”
Erica couldn't help but be a little annoyed, learning what was good, but seeing Locke's righteous face, she felt that she should choose to forgive him.
Locke's speech just now was just to show his attitude at the beginning, and when his thoughts were mature, he quickly changed the topic and quietly complimented Barry and Linda.
The two soon felt that Locke not only looked very comfortable, but also thought that Locke was mature and stable, and sincere, and Linda even said many times that Locke should take more care of Peggy, who was only nine years old, at school.
"It's actually an honor to be able to study with a super talent." Rock laughs and says, "Peggy's views in many ways have inspired me a lot. ”
"That's great, I'm glad you guys get along so well."
Barry and Linda are happy with Locke's statement, which is the main reason why they want to invite Locke to their house for dinner.
Although Peggy is a super genius, she is only nine years old, and they will also worry that Peggy will be bullied in high school.
Yesterday after school, Linda heard Peggy talk about Locke, and knew that Locke was also a super genius, so she wanted to see Locke and ask him to take care of Peggy when necessary.
Locke also has no reason to refuse, having a super genius to study together is also a great benefit to the improvement of learning efficiency, not to mention that he also guesses that Peggy may trigger more tasks.
In Locke's eyes, Peggy is a shining gold mine of potential.
Both sides achieved their goal, and for a time the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and sure enough, the adult world is sophisticated.
The next day, after the class was over, Locke and Lip went to the cafeteria as usual, only to meet Peggy halfway through.
Locke nodded, just ready to say hello, but he didn't expect the little girl to come to the cafeteria with the two of them all the way, and after the two of them finished their meals, they sat opposite the two of them with the lunch prepared by Linda.
"Why are you sitting here again?" Lip's tone was very bad, but Locke could hear that he was a little scared of Peggy in his heart, after all, the Olympiad duel between Peggy and Rock the day before made Lip understand the gap in knowledge between him and Peggy.
"I remember yesterday someone promised my mom to take good care of me at school." Peggy didn't care about Lip, just looked at Locke.
Locke felt a toothache, she wouldn't have to have lunch with her every day in the future, if that was the case, I don't know how the school gossip would spread next.
He felt a headache in his heart, but he couldn't directly scold a little girl, so he could only say: "Don't worry, Linda and Barry are also my friends, I have promised them to take care of you, you can ask me any questions you have at school." ”
"Very good, I've decided to officially join the Mathematics Olympiad team, you should be able to give me some guidance."
"Of course, when you come to the activity room after school in the afternoon, I will prepare a form for you to join the department."
"It's a pleasure to be able to study math with you." Peggy looked very happy.
Locke wasn't sure if she was pretending or not, but Peggy was just a nine-year-old girl, so she shouldn't have too much scheming, not to mention that the other party was still a big gold mine, so he decided to get along with her.
After eating at noon and after Peggy left, Lip couldn't help but ask, "You don't really plan to let her join us, do you?" ”
Students have their own small circles, and they usually sit together at lunchtime, according to the rice country, it is the lunch gang.
Locke often sat with Lip for lunch, and sometimes someone from the Olympiad group would join, but Lip was absolutely reluctant to let a little girl join.
According to him, this would have skyrocketed his chances of dating a girl at school, even though the number of girls he had dated in his high school career had been zero so far.
"No way, the principal told me that she was a valuable asset to the school, and his parents asked me to help take care of her." Locke patted Lip on the shoulder: "You don't have to worry, it's just a little girl." ”
"She is not an ordinary little girl, according to what I heard, in order to enroll her, the school not only gave her scholarships and grants, but also promised that when the other party was ready to go to college, it would provide a bonus."
"So you know, the school takes her very seriously, just don't provoke her."
"Girls at this age are troublesome, and it looks like she's eyeing you."
Locke didn't say much, getting close to Peggy was indeed a challenge to his high school planning, but he was now thinking about how to use Peggy to trigger more missions, as long as the rewards were enough, those troubles were not troubles.
"Did any of your classmates answer this question?" In chemistry class, the teacher looked around at the students and began to ask questions.
Seeing that Locke raised his hand first, he pointed at Locke and smiled slightly: "Locke, you can talk about it." ”
"Okay, the question is simple, just consider the chemistry ......"
Locke spoke eloquently.
In the United States, people advocate the sharpness, but there is no modesty to hide the clumsiness, in the university grades, the usual score also accounts for a large proportion, and the usual score, classroom performance, will also be in the teacher's score, has an intuitive reflection.
In the corner of the classroom, Mandy, a white girl with a golden ponytail and a delicate and innocent face, bit her lip and looked at Locke talking there with watery eyes.
As the teacher's applause rang out, the girl trembled, lay on her desk and gasped and muttered, "Science is really fascinating, I can't wait for the weekend to come......"
"Hi, Locke." After class, seeing that Locke was packing his school bag, Mandy couldn't help but lean over and say.
"Hello." Locke glanced at a blushing Mandy, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Locke, back-to-school prom, have you decided who to hire as your dance partner?"
The Homecoming Day Prom and the annual Graduation Prom are the most important proms for students in the United States!
In order to participate in the prom, the boys will prepare formal attire, and the girls will also carefully prepare the dress, and at the same time, if they want to join the prom, they must pay a ticket of tens of yuan in order to be eligible for admission.
Many girls with insufficient assets will also prepare months in advance for these two dances, earning ticket money and renting dresses through part-time jobs and other methods, in order to make a stunning appearance at the ball.
In order to compete for the titles of king and queen at the ball, boys and girls who are well-known at school will try to intrigue to increase their fame or suppress their opponents.
Some of the multi-talented contestants directly used various gifts to canvass for votes, because the king and queen were voted for by all the students attending the ball, which is to some extent a miniature version of the canvassing for the United States campaign.
"Not yet."
"Why don't you join me?" Mandy smiled sweetly, "I don't have a dance partner right now, so please!" ”
Coquettishly bowed down and begged, and a touch of snow white suddenly bloomed in front of Locke's eyes, making Locke's gaze couldn't help but stay for a few seconds.
The smile on Mandy's face, which had been paying attention to Locke, grew sweeter, but then he heard Locke say, "Actually, I didn't plan to go to the back-to-school ball. ”
"Why?" Mandy's face was full of disappointment, but she still didn't give up: "If you're worried, I can help you pay for the prom tickets and costumes." ”
"I'm not short of money for tickets and dresses, but I still have homework to complete." Locke raised the notes in his hand, which were full of numbers and mathematical formulas, making Mandy, a math scumbag, feel dizzy at first glance.
"The back-to-school prom is very important, I can rent a Cadillac and we'll be the king and queen of the prom." Mandy said.
"It sounds good, but it doesn't make me rich."
"Is it okay for these things? That's just homework. ”
Locke laughed but didn't say a word.
