What's wrong with Superman's son wanting to be Superman?

Page 84

Sheldon didn't dare to refute. He seemed to turn his head and stare at Leonard, then began to change the subject, "What does the genius cartoonist want with you? Let me guess, don't tell me yet... Hmm! He must have seen the 1000 pages of suggestions I hacked into his computer and implanted, so he called you specifically to have you thank me on his behalf!"

A theoretical physicist in his thirties, with beautiful blue eyes that held a childlike expectation. However, Leonard's shake of the head shattered the man's beautiful fantasy.

"No, he didn't mention you or your thousand-page comic book suggestion. Actually, the kid just consulted me about superhero comics."

Leonard displayed an arrogant attitude, as if he were the ultimate comic book expert.

However, it didn't attract any girls.

He was somewhat disheartened, but he still continued, "I think our genius cartoonist is probably looking for inspiration... Also, perhaps because I initially questioned his abilities, he later told me that he has someone very close to Mr. Bruce Wayne as his angel investor."

"He received a full ten million US dollars in free investment." Leonard couldn't help but marvel at this, as such a sum of money was an unimaginable amount for him.

You believe that?

The girl, Penny, rolled her eyes.

She always thought her neighbor had just run into a bragging high school student.

“He said he doesn’t like to lie…I think that’s pretty credible.” Leonard held his phone, feeling a little guilty. He just wanted to exude masculine charm by being valued.

"Then you're definitely beyond saving."

Penny's honest evaluation.

"What do you think?"

She also looked at Sheldon.

However, the eccentric nerd Sheldon didn't care about that.

"He didn't mention me at all! Not even a little bit?" Sheldon's voice rose eight octaves. "Not even that annoying tall physicist?"

The young man was very unwilling to accept this.

"Yes, not at all."

Leonard reluctantly gave an answer. He couldn't lie, because if he did, Sheldon would seize on it. No one knew better than him how annoying his roommate was.

“Okay, I get it. Looks like he’s not as genius as we thought!” Sheldon tormented the food in the lunchbox with his fork, as if those innocent pieces of meat were some cartoonist who had disappointed him.

He shoved a piece of meat into his mouth.

Sheldon puffed out his cheeks and chewed hard.

“Listen to me, you have to believe me…” Penny was about to say something more, but she was interrupted when Sheldon suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Cherry pit! Cherry pit!"

His face turned bright red, and he was clutching his own neck with his fingers.

"Damn it, you only ate cherry meat! The Chinese restaurant didn't put real cherries in it!" Leonard complained, but still rushed over to rescue his roommate.

Penny quickly joined in to help.

After a series of incredibly skillful efforts, Sheldon was finally rescued.

“I swear, the fact that this guy is still alive is the best proof that I should believe in God,” Penny said to Leonard while patting Sheldon on the back to help him catch his breath.

“It’s not my fault. It’s all cherry pits. I’m not good at dealing with them. For me, it’s like Superman facing Kryptonite,” Sheldon protested weakly as he regained his breathing.

However, all he got in return were two perfectly synchronized eye rolls.

“You’re trying to link this to superheroes? They won’t get a cherry pit stuck in their throats!” Penny tried to wake her friend from her slumber with harsh reality.

“Penny is right, and besides, it wasn’t a cherry pit, it was just a pea.” Leonard, who had just washed his hands, had water stains on them that made Sheldon avoid him.

“I ordered cherry meat, which doesn’t have peas in it,” Sheldon corrected earnestly. However, neither Penny nor Leonard believed his sophistry.

"But it was just a pea!"

Leonard reiterated this point.

So Sheldon thought for a moment.

“No, that’s not a pea, I ordered cherry meat.” Sheldon persisted, even after Leonard had pulled out the pea he had spat out, he only glanced at it.

"It just looks like a pea, but I'll never admit it's a pea." Sheldon lowered his head again and started fiddling with the lunchbox, but hesitated to put the food in his mouth.

"That's called self-deception!"

Leonard gritted his teeth.

"Who would collect food their roommate vomited up? You two are really weirdos." Penny couldn't help but exclaim as she stood up and straightened the wrinkles in her clothes.

She moved her mouth a couple of times as if she had ulcers, "You know what? I used to think you guys were crazy enough for being obsessed with superheroes in comics but not daring to follow real-life superheroes."

Penny hadn't finished speaking.

"now what?"

Sheldon responded reflexively.

“Now?” Penny grabbed her coat and scooped it up from the table. “Either I’m crazy, or you guys are crazy, but it can’t be the world that’s crazy.”

"To be honest, let's not talk about what just happened."

"Just the idea that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old could have ten million and know that billionaire Bruce Wayne... If I were a conman, I could swindle you out of all your money."

"I'd rather believe that Bruce Wayne will flirt with me right now than believe that I can just walk out and he'll be there to flirt with me."

Penny was genuinely trying to persuade her two friends not to fall for the scam of a billionaire coming to their door, but she found that both of them remained silent and did not respond.

“Sigh, you’ll be sleeping on the streets sooner or later, but I’ll definitely adopt you…who doesn’t like having a pet?” Penny said, opening the apartment door to go back to her own apartment.

"Crack~"

The door is closed.

The two nerdy guys looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a while.

"It's incredible that Penny can even recognize that she's crazy," Sheldon remarked sincerely, turning his gaze away from the doorway.

"Who says otherwise? Actually, she doesn't need to lie to me; I could take off my underwear for her." Leonard withdrew his infatuated gaze and lowered his head to enjoy his late-night snack.

however.

His expression froze instantly when he saw the empty table.

Where is my takeout?

Leonard remembered Penny's casual scoop earlier.

His tone was one of astonishment.

“Leonard, Leonard, I told you before that you needed to buy three takeouts. You may not believe in math or me, but you really should believe that our neighbor will continue to perform consistently well.” Sheldon kept poking at the takeout box with his fork, not eating a single bite for a long time, his tone full of pity.

Leonard was extremely frustrated.

However, he remained somewhat stubborn, saying, "This is all part of my plan. Sooner or later, Penny will become dependent on my takeout, unable to live without me, and eventually marry me."

It's truly a fantasy for otaku.

Leonard was completely excited.

“Look, this is the opportunity she left for me.” He noticed Penny’s cell phone on the table, and he proudly grabbed it and rushed toward the apartment door.

I just got into the hallway.

Leonard then saw Penny, who was still standing at the door for some reason.

Is she waiting for me?

With this in mind, Leonard quickly stepped forward.

"Bububu..."

Penny froze on the spot as if being stared at by Medusa, her lips trembling as she repeated the same syllable over and over again.

"Cloth what?"

Leonard walked up to Penny, puzzled.

then.

"Bububu..."

He also became a broken record.

The two of them stuttered in perfect unison.

And at this time.

"Leonard!"

Sheldon also rushed out in a panic.

"Oh no! My computer is ruined! That cartoonist's computer is full of viruses! He might really be a genius! He predicted my prediction, which caused my computer to completely break down!"

Sheldon sounded dejected.

He found his two friends standing stiffly in the hallway.

Before Sheldon could even ask a question.

"What cartoonist are you talking about?" Bruce Wayne, dressed in a suit and exuding the air of a successful man and an extremely elegant demeanor, moved away from the two men and moved to the side.

Sheldon's eyes widened immediately.

"Bruce Wayne!"

He did express a full-blown astonishment.

only.

This may have exhausted all his strength.

"Oh my God!"

Sheldon, an atheist, rolled his eyes and fell straight backward. As is often the case with friendship boats, Leonard and Penny, regaining their senses, hurriedly caught the theoretical physicist. The three of them then capsized together, sitting in bizarre positions in the corridor.

"Feel sorry."

Leonard didn't know why he had to apologize to Bruce.

"Well, sorry."
