"Let's go."

Luke smiled at Leonard who looked at him with admiration.

This move has little effect on Monica.

But Sheldon, who is far more obsessed with cleanliness than Monica, and has a super brain-boosting ability, has a miraculous effect.

"I'll go as well."

Sheldon looked around the apartment, trying to find the location of the dirty socks in case they existed. Seeing Luke and the two leave, he immediately followed him like a skinny mantis.

"Reservation for the passenger seat!"

Downstairs, Sheldon shouted immediately.

No one robbed him.

Howard and Rajesh in a car.

Chandler can't wait to sit in the back row with his idol Leonard and continue talking.

"Hmm."

Luke was leading the car in the front, and Sheldon kept staring at it. Seeing that the entire operation was abnormally standardized, he should have been very happy about this, but he was still a little unhappy. He turned to Leonard in the back row and said: "Look His driving, this is the real safe driving!"

"..."

Leonard was chatting happily with the fans, and it was very uncomfortable to be stabbed by a sword from the outside world: "You don't have to take my car!"

"I think so too, but the roommate agreement stipulates that you must take me."

Sheldon got a bargain and sold it well, a posture that was reluctant but endured because he respected the contract.

"It's so nice of you to have your own car."

Chandler envied.

"You can have a car too."

Leonard quickly comforted the fans, and of course he did not forget to mock Sheldon: "Only if you are not Sheldon."

"You can afford it, but you can't afford it."

Chandler complained: "Parking in New York is too difficult. There is nowhere to park a car. It is better to take a taxi or take the bus and subway than to buy a car and keep a car."

"You just rent a parking space."

Luke couldn't see him calling poor, and joked: "It's not that I can't afford to rent."

"Reluctant."

Chandler laughed at himself: "You are the only person in our circle of friends who owns a car, which shows how much money firefighters make."

"You have such a high income, why do you save so much money?"

Luke joked: "Do you want to give the future Mrs. Bing a perfect wedding?"

"Don't say Mrs. Bing!"

Chandler immediately felt uncomfortable, and now Mrs. Bing is his mother of Freud's nightmare: "Save money for emergencies, God knows when I need money when I lose my job, I won't spend it for the perfect wedding. Just saving."

"That makes sense."

Sheldon glanced at Chandler in the rearview mirror: "There should be a healthy consumption outlook. My consumption accounts for 46.9% of my after-tax income, and the rest is saved, although I will not lose my job."

"Why won't you be unemployed?"

Chandler couldn't help but ask.

"Theoretical physicists have no concept of unemployment."

Sheldon said proudly.

"What if the university expelled you?"

Luke couldn't help teasing him.

"impossible!"

Sheldon confessed.

"Are you saying that there is no such possibility?"

Luke asked.

"...there is a possibility, but it will never happen."

Sheldon looked at Luke unhappily.

"You're not a tenured professor."

Luke smiled and continued to beat him: "You're not even a professor..."

"That's because those stupid brains aren't worthy of my smart brain to teach."

Sheldon exclaimed, "It's not that I can't!"

"Well, even if you can be a professor."

Luke laughed: "But if you want to be named a tenured professor, you must first be nominated by the selection committee. Do you think anyone will nominate you?"

"There must be someone!"

Sheldon confessed.

"Well, even if someone nominated you."

Luke smiled happily: "But there must be other candidates. Do you think most of the people on the selection committee will like you and not like other candidates?"

"If it was Barry Kripke or Leslie Winkle, I could win!"

Sheldon's mouth twitched a little, but he was still stubbornly insisting.

"You think you can beat Barry and Leslie?"

Leonard in the back row couldn't listen anymore, and complained.

"Of course!"

Sheldon turned to stare at Leonard: "Don't you think so?"

"...Well, that's what I think."

Leonard wants to continue to mock, Barry Kripke and Leslie Winkle are both genius scientists in the Department of Physics of Princeton, and they are also Sheldon's enemies, often bullying Sheldon, but said When it comes to popularity, it's almost a complete explosion of Sheldon, okay?

But in the face of Sheldon looking like he was about to collapse and be anxious, thinking that he would have to face Sheldon like this after Luke left, he quickly relented and interrupted: "Luke, I think we can say something. other topics."

"Even if you can win."

Luke gave Leonard a calm look, and continued to tease Sheldon: "You got tenure, but you won't be unemployed?

Don't bully me that I haven't been to a university. It may be difficult to dismiss the tenured professorship. Even the president of the university can't make a decision, but it doesn't mean that it can't be dismissed.

In fact, the average person is basically a lifelong teacher without worry.

But for you, lifelong not lifelong means nothing at all.

Because as long as the school board meeting is held and the proposal to dismiss you is approved by all, even if you are a tenured professor, you will be dismissed.

Do you think you don't have the ability to make everyone unanimously agree to dismiss you? "

"..."

Sheldon was speechless, his cheeks began to cramp, and he looked like he was about to collapse for Luke.

Luke deliberately pulled over and stared at Sheldon's face with interest.

To be honest, when he watched The Big Bang Theory in his previous life, he often had the idea to see what would happen to Sheldon's cheeks twitching to the extreme.

"Luke."

Leonard saw Luke's sinister intentions, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Out of his special feelings for his mother, he couldn't see Sheldon like this, and couldn't help but want to interrupt.

"Don't worry, now is the moment to witness the miracle."

Luke raised his hand, motioned Leonard to stop talking, and continued to stare at Sheldon.

Sheldon's cheeks kept twitching, seeing that Luke had no intention of backing down, his eyes were so aggrieved, he could only turn to his side and cry in a low voice while calling from his mobile phone: "Missy!"

"That's it?"

Luke was a little disappointed.

In his expectation, Sheldon could have more emojis.

Who knows that's it.

But it is understandable to think about it.

All of Sheldon's actions are actually for survival, including this exaggerated twitching of his cheeks, which is to make his opponent soft-hearted and take the initiative to back down.

When the opponent is unwilling, it has no meaning for him to keep it like this, so he naturally withdraws.

I have to say, Sheldon is a real genius.

He actively screened his circle of friends by setting a series of harsh and eccentric behavior standards, and calibrated the behavior of the circle of friends step by step to ensure his own comfort.

But when it was time to back down, he would silently back down.

Because of all kinds of unreasonable troubles in the past, the current retreat makes friends feel flattered.

This is simply the most powerful marketing tool for yourself.

Genius really only has to think about it, not whether it will or not.

Luke flashed these thoughts, restarted the car, and headed for the cheesecake shop.

Unsurprisingly, before taking a few steps, the phone rang.

"Missy, I'm teasing him..."

After Luke connected, he smiled and hung up the phone again.

In fact, Missy was also worried that Sheldon called her mother and complained that she didn't care about him, and now it's just a cutscene. To be honest, Luke made Sheldon so much fun, and she was the happiest.

Anyway, there is no substantial damage, and a few times of grievance and crying are considered detoxification and health preservation, which is beneficial and harmless.

Emmm.

Not to mention making her happy.

It's a triple win!
"Is this Sheldon's sister Missy?"

Leonard listened to Missy's voice on the phone, and he couldn't help asking a question under the turbulent heart.

"Ah."

Luke glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "It's actually quite funny. In my circle of friends, I'm actually the poorest, but I have a car."

"Where are you the poorest?"

Chandler is puzzled: "Your income is very high, okay?"

"That little income can't match your background."

Luke reminded: "Sheldon won't talk about him, since his brother George Jr. became the Texas tire king, the family has never been short of money.

Chandler, your mother is a world best-selling author.

That money was earned in the sea. "

"That's her money."

Chandler retorted: "And no amount of money is enough for her to make it, since and my dad, oh, no, now mom, after divorce, and married several times, which marriage and divorce don't cost a lot of money ."

"She's written so many best-selling books, no matter how much she makes."

Luke smiled and said, "I didn't say that you used her money, I just said that this is also your background, and you don't need to worry too much about money subconsciously.

Same goes for you Leonard. "

"Me? I'll let it go."

Leonard smiled wryly: "My student loan payments are due until 2022."

"Ask your mother for money."

Luke joked: "Your mother wrote those books, many of which are based on you, shouldn't you charge an authorization fee? If you ask for a little bit, your student loan or something can be repaid immediately. ."

"forget it."

Leonard shook his head again and again: "I don't want to settle this with her and be humiliated by her again."

"Look, it's still the same sentence, you all have a background, so you don't care much about money subconsciously."

Luke shrugged.

I really care about money, where can I live so well? I buy and play all kinds of expensive hand-made games, as if I don’t need to plan for the future at all.

The car had come to the cheesecake shop at this time.

Luke parked the car and led the crowd in.

"welcome……"

After everyone sat down, a waiter came over and stopped in surprise before finishing the cliché: "Luke, why are you here?"

"Come and see friends."

Luke smiled and introduced the crowd: "Bernie, this is Chandler, Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, big guy, this is Bernadette."

"Hello."

Howard immediately showed his language talent and greeted Bernadette in a series of languages ​​such as Chinese, French, and Russian.

"Hello."

Bernadette smiled sweetly, and there was a hint of displeasure when she glanced at Howard.

Why is this guy so rude.

Lu Mengde watched this scene with a smile, and there was no displeasure in his heart.

When everyone ordered a good meal, Bernadette glanced at Luke with a smile and went to make arrangements.

"What's your relationship with her?"

Howard asked immediately.

"Yeah, what's your relationship?"

Chandler looked confused.

He is Monica's good friend. It will be a test to tell Monica later.

"Just a friend."

Luke smiled noncommittally.

"In this case……"

Howard rolled his eyes and wanted to talk nonsense, but looking at Luke's always smiling face, his words changed again: "Wait, can you let her introduce that to me."

Having said this, he pointed to the blonde waitress who was talking to Bernadette: "God, she's taller than all the women in our family combined, she's the future Mrs. Worowitz."

"Isn't Monica your cousin?"

Chandler glanced at the tall blond waitress and said in surprise, "Monica is not short, and Ross."

"Just because Monica is not short, Ross's 188 stature is a pain in my heart."

Howard gritted his teeth: "So the future Mrs. Vorowitz must be so tall. I don't want my son to suffer this unbearable pain in the future. I want to improve the height of the Vorowitz family!"

Luke glanced at the blonde waitress not far away, and seeing that it wasn't Penny, he didn't pay much attention.

At this time, Rajesh, who seemed to be a transparent person, couldn't bear it any longer, and whispered in Howard's ear.

"How do I know why Luke didn't introduce you."

Howard pushed Rajesh away from his ear in disgust.

However, Rajesh was persistent and came up again.

"How do I know why Bernadette didn't order for you, and your dissatisfaction should be reflected in the tip? No problem."

Howard pushed Rajesh away again.

Luke laughed without saying a word.

Didn't you mock me in reverse, I always thought you didn't exist.

After the meal came, Luke finished it first, and under the strange eyes of Howard and others, he got up and left the table.

"How did you come?"

When I saw Bernadette in the back kitchen, she was happy and a little shy and asked the previous question again.

"Come and see you."

There was no one in private, and Luke naturally told the truth.

"why?"

Bernadette tangled: "You and Hope?"

"I'm not Romeo anymore."

Luke smiled and said, "She's still Juliet, and I'm a firefighter, most law-abiding, so it's impossible for us now."

In the American TV world, there is the Romeo and Juliet Act.

Luke is an adult, but Hope is not yet, although the gap is within three years, but it is not a heavy sentence, not a sentence.

Not to mention Luke is a public firefighter.

So he can't be Romeo anymore.

"what!"

Bernadette's eyes lit up, only to think that this could not be more correct.

When family love encounters the law, it has to go backwards.

Obeying the law is the duty of every citizen.

"When are you off work?"

Luke smiled.

"It's still a while."

Bernadette raised her hand and looked at her watch, apologetically.

"It's okay, I'll take them back first, and I'll pick you up later."

Luke joked: "But my car is an old Ford, not a Toyota Camry, right?"

"ah!"

Bernadette immediately blushed and said angrily: "Hope, that damn girl even told you this..."
