Start your adventure with American TV series

School started soon after returning to Dallas, and Locke's life was on track. He had begun to study college subjects on his own, including mathematics and physics, but also chemistry, psychobiology, psychology, etc.

He will not study these latter subjects specifically when he goes to college in the future. He has decided to focus on mathematics and physics in college.

The main purpose of learning these is to enrich one's own knowledge reserve. With Locke's current IQ, even without anyone's guidance, as long as he reads enough books, the knowledge he possesses will not be worse than those of PhDs in specialized fields, or even better.

Locke participated in every game of the school's baseball team, but he gave up ordinary training. With him as a pitcher, the school's baseball team also became famous in Texas, and even many professional baseball teams came to visit. Invite him to join.

Locke turned down all these invitations. After all, the route he had arranged for himself was not to become a sports star.

This year's Mathematical Olympiad was held in Los Angeles. Just like last year, the team led by Locke won the championship medal. After the competition, Locke did not return to Dallas with the school team. He planned to take advantage of the approaching Christmas to spend more time in Los Angeles. Stay for a few days.

The person who invited Locke to stay was Jennifer. She went to college in Los Angeles. After hearing that Locke came to Los Angeles, she invited Locke to ride the rocket together.

The Christmas holidays in the United States vary slightly from state to state, but most of them are from December 22 to January 5. Many people like to take the annual leave together.

Locke has been living at Jennifer's house these days. Through the introduction of her senior sister, she found an internship job at a company in Los Angeles, and the income is much better than working in a restaurant.

For the convenience of work and life, Jennifer rented a single apartment near the school, and Locke lived here these days until Christmas.

Thousands of miles away from her family, she is also busy with studies. The internship job pays well, and it is also related to the company's evaluation. She wants to take the opportunity to build a good relationship and have a chance to join the company after graduation, so she did not choose to return to Texas.

Jennifer's father originally promised to spend Christmas with her, but he unexpectedly received a job that was urgently needed by a regular customer. The price was tripled, so he had no choice but to cancel the appointment.

Disappointed, Jennifer invited Locke to stay in Los Angeles and spend Christmas with her.

"I know dad, Locke happened to come to Los Angeles to participate in a competition. I invited him to stay with me for a few days. Do you still have four more days? Sure enough, we can't make it in time for Christmas Eve.

It doesn’t matter, Locke and I can do it together. You should also pay more attention to your health when working, and don’t rush too much..."

When Jennifer hung up the phone, Locke said, "He won't come here until next week?"

Jennifer nodded: "Yes, the money is not free. Amy's father only helped me pay for one year's tuition. I have to figure out the second year's tuition myself."

After opening his mouth, Locke finally didn't say anything about helping her pay for her tuition. This kind of topic is still somewhat taboo, especially among friends. If Jennifer doesn't speak, Locke's initiative to bring it up may hurt Jennifer's feelings.

He could only chuckle at this time, got up from the sofa and rubbed her head: "Okay, can we eat now?"

Speaking of this, Jennifer's mood finally improved. Living with Locke these days, she got to see Locke's cooking skills, which were much better than her own, especially many Dongguo specialties.

"What do you think of the roast chicken I made yesterday?"

Recalling the taste of yesterday's roast chicken, Jennifer nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious. Are we still eating this today?"

"I changed the recipe. Today is my exclusive honey roasted chicken."

"But I think what I did yesterday was great!"

"How great was my performance tonight?"

Jennifer gave Locke a look. Locke had tormented her every day these days, causing her legs to feel weak every morning when she went to the internship company. Many colleagues thought she was too tired, but her face was rosy and her complexion was rosy. very good.

When Locke took out the honey-glazed roast chicken, Jennifer swallowed her saliva like crazy. The sweet smell was mixed with the smell of meat. It was really wonderful.

Locke's so-called exclusive honey roasted chicken is actually chicken made with barbecued pork sauce. The sweet aroma wafting from the bright red roasted chicken will definitely make people drool.

"Well, the taste is okay, but the chicken breast is still a bit woody. I'd better not cook the whole thing together next time. The requirements for heat and technology are too high."

Locke, who has more than half of his intermediate cooking experience, commented on his cooking skills and was not particularly satisfied.

Jennifer ignored him, holding the pistol leg and gnawing wildly. She ate one-third of the amount by herself. Compared with her previous food intake, it was already much more than the standard.

After Jennifer finished eating, she complained in front of Locke that the food was too delicious and that she would gain weight soon if this continued.

Glancing at Jennifer who was paying attention to the boring soap opera on TV, Locke thought to himself: "I'll let you digest it for a while, and then I'll get you to do some exercise, which will definitely help you burn off all the calories you've eaten."

Watching the performance on TV, Jennifer suddenly sighed. In fact, she had thought about becoming a star before, and she was also confident that her appearance and figure were better than the actors on TV.

But during her recent internship at the company, she met a senior female executive in the company, who seemed to take care of her, so she wondered whether she could also work in the financial field.

Most young people at this age have uncertain thoughts. Listening to Jennifer's story, Locke did not comment much. In fact, in his opinion, with Jennifer's mathematical talent, it is unlikely that she will become an elite in finance in this life.

However, she was still young and wanted to try this path. No one could stop her. He was not qualified to give advice on such topics involving life choices and future plans. At most, he could only give suggestions.

Locke had also considered taking the financial route before, so he was no stranger to this. He just made some suggestions based on what he knew.

After hearing what Locke said, Jennifer realized that it was not easy to take this path. After thinking about it but not willing to give up, she could only put it aside and said:

"By the way, the company is going to hold an internal cocktail party on Christmas Eve. I will also attend then. Do you want to come and see it too?"

"No problem." Locke agreed immediately. He guessed that Jennifer, as an intern, would not be formally invited. In the past, she was mostly responsible for serving dishes and serving drinks.

He didn't say this, and he hadn't seen Jennifer for several months. Since Jennifer and the others graduated, Locke had two more girls as friends to play with in his free time, but they were a little less interesting than Jennifer.

We haven’t seen each other for a while, but Locke still misses him very much, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed in Los Angeles.
