Room 4A.
"I also think there's something wrong with him. ”
Sheldon added: "My theory is that he is not focused enough because of his excessive desire to applaud. ”
"Ha~"
Beverly tilted her head, "I really don't know where he inherited it, but after my marriage to his father, we were both focused enough to applaud the next generation." ”
"It's so efficient. ”
Sheldon exclaimed.
"We think so too. ”
Beverly shrugged: "We also published our own papers, mine was written from a neuroscience perspective, his father was from an anthropological perspective, and of course only my paper is worth reading." ”
"Of course. ”
Sheldon nodded, "I'm interested in reading your applause." ”
"I put it online, and you can order it from Princeton University Press. ”
Beverly said seriously: "It's a pity that the slides I used for my speech are stored in another notebook, otherwise I can show you." ”
"Oh~"
Sheldon looked pity.
"I now finally know why Leonard was able to tolerate Sheldon!"
Howard was dumbfounded and muttered, "This is simply a female version of Sheldon......"
"Dr. Hofstadter, it's been a long time. ”
Owen greeted with a smile.
"It's been a long time. ”
Beverly lifted her glasses: "It's been 14 years to be exact, and I have to say that I am amazed by your achievements."
Maybe you were right to let you go to see Leonard back then, at least you learned a lesson from it, which is why you have achieved what you are today, which can be regarded as Leonard's only contribution. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
The corners of Leonard's mouth were about to cramp, and he smiled aggrievedly.
"You're welcome. ”
Beverly accepted Leonard's compliment very Shelton-like, and then looked at Owen again, "Can you please do me a favor?"
"What's the busy?"
Owen was stunned.
"Come with me to the hospital and have my brain scanned. ”
Beverly said calmly, "I'm very interested in your genius brain. ”
"I'm going too. ”
Sheldon raised his hand and shouted.
"Absolutely. ”
Beverly bowed her head and said, "I've read your papers, and I know that you also have a genius brain that is different from ordinary people. ”
“......”
Howard and Rajesh couldn't help but roll their eyes as Beverly looked at them when she said she was different.
"Forget it, I'm not going. ”
Owen politely declined.
He has no interest in being a guinea pig, in fact, no one wants to be a guinea pig except for the strange Sheldon!
"Why?"
Beverly was surprised, "I thought you were a brilliant scientist and should be willing to contribute to science?"
"I'm already contributing, aren't I?"
Owen smiled.
Beverly raised her glasses and said lightly, "It's a shame that you can't be your Dr. Thomas Harvey." ”
“......”
The corners of Owen's mouth twitched, speechless.
Leonard looked at him with apologetic eyes.
"Oh, that's a shame. ”
Sheldon clapped his hands and said: "In the early morning of April 18, 1955, 76-year-old Albert Einstein died of illness in Princeton Hospital. The aftermath was quickly carried out according to the wishes: cremation, an intimate farewell ceremony, and the ashes were scattered somewhere in the Delaware River.
That night, Dr. Thomas Harvey, the chief pathologist at Princeton Hospital, performed an autopsy on Einstein.
When everything was done, Harvey put the entrails back into Einstein's empty abdominal cavity and filled the cranial cavity with cotton.
Instead of putting the brain back, he photographed the 1,230-gram genius brain, measured it, and finally carefully cut it into 240 pieces, each numbered to indicate which part of the brain it was located in.
The cuts are encased in collodion and soaked in formalin for preservation. ”
"yes, that's a shame. ”
Beverly shook her head and said, "I didn't catch up with that good time, Thomas Harvey is just a pathologist, not a neurologist like me, so I didn't get much results after decades of tossing."
The remaining brains have now been tightly sealed, making it almost impossible to obtain any more samples. ”
“mmp!”
Owen was a little uncomfortable, and scolded in his heart: "Just say it, why do you look at me with such indifferent eyes......"
"I really think you can do a brain scan ahead of time. ”
Beverly has the obsession of a scientist: "Your brain may be comparable to that of Albert Einstein, and in the end it will definitely not escape the dissection." ”
"We'll see when the time comes. ”
Owen grinned, his scalp tingling inexplicably.
“ok。 ”
Beverly shrugged: "If you figure it out, feel free to come to me, I'm very interested in your brain." ”
"I can see it~"
Owen smiled wryly.
"Okay, Sheldon, let's go to the hospital now?"
Beverly looked at Sheldon.
“yeah!”
Sheldon exclaimed happily.
After leaving, Howard looked at Leonard sympathetically: "I finally understand why you can become roommates and friends with Sheldon, you belong to typical Stockholm syndrome." ”
"What?"
Leonard denied: "I don't have any Stockholm syndrome!"
"Are you sure?"
Rajesh asked with a strange look.
"Of course ......"
Leonard wanted to flatly deny it, but he thought back to his life, he had a mother like Beverly since he was a child, and he had just come out of college to work, and he met Sheldon.
Was it really just a hot head that he had ignored all the obvious warnings and agreed to be Sheldon's roommate?
Thinking of this, he couldn't say anything, because he suddenly found that he subconsciously probably really saw the shadow of his mother Beverly from Sheldon, so he wanted to get the missing recognition and warmth from Sheldon.
It is precisely because of this that he endured Sheldon's various strange behaviors again and again, just to get Sheldon's approval, what is the difference between this and those victims who have a good impression of the perpetrator, dependence, and even assist the perpetrator?
Last year, he also took the initiative to help Sheldon 'kill' Kim, a 15-year-old genius boy whose IQ threatened Sheldon's Great Universe Northland......
“oh,my god!”
Leonard sat down on the couch, covered his mouth, and said bitterly, "What am I in her eyes? Is it just a toy, an experiment?"
"It's not that exaggerated. ”
Owen sat next to Leonard, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "You are only a little bit of a masochistic tendency, it's not a big deal, who let you have such a mother!"
And for most people, if you don't play with having children, what's the point of having children?"
“......”
The three of Leonard were stunned for a moment, looking at Owen with such a strange gaze.
"I'm kidding. ”
Owen smiled, seeing that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed in his heart: "It's really rare and weird......"
