Super Doctor of the Universe

Chapter 171 The Critical Hit of Reality

After reading the book "The Incompetent Man" in the hotel, Peggy said to Link: "I have seen some bastard parents before, but are there really mothers in the world who treat their children like this?"

From the book, Peggy probably knew about Leonard's family situation. This is a typical family of scientists. His father is an anthropologist, his mother is a neurologist, his sister is a doctor of biomedicine, his brother is a doctor of law, and he also has an IQ of 173.

But his childhood was completely different. No one ever celebrated his birthday. The only party that was close to his birthday was when one of his relatives suddenly died on his birthday, causing many relatives to get together.

As a neurologist and psychiatrist, his mother has a strict speaking habit, lacks understanding of social customs, and pays too much attention to details. She always feels that Leonard is not as good as his brothers and sisters, which leads to Leonard never feeling maternal love.

For this reason, when he was a child, he couldn't help but make a hug machine specifically for experiencing the warmth that should have come from his mother, but this hug machine was often borrowed by his father for use.

Such an experience made Peggy feel incredible. When she was ten years old, her parents divorced, which brought her a big blow.

But in fact, her parents, especially her mother Linda, still cared about her, so it was hard for her to imagine that there would be such a strange mother as Beverly Hofstadter.

"In fact, it can be seen from Beverly Hofstadter's performance at the book signing event." Link said directly: "Speaking of which, her personality is very similar to Sheldon."

"What you said is true." Peggy nodded, and then said: "Why don't we go see Leonard, I'm curious about him."

"Okay." Link also felt that the proposal to see Leonard was very interesting, and he agreed directly.

When Link arrived at Princeton High School in New Jersey where Leonard was, there was a graduation season dance.

Leonard, who was short, wearing a neutral sports jacket and thick black-framed glasses, was looking at a pure and lovely girl with sad eyes, as if he didn't see him, and walked past her without stopping with his companions.

He raised his hand for a long time and did not put it down. At the same time, he began to recall what he had just heard:

"Isn't that Leonard the nerd? Why don't you say hello to him?"

"Why should I say hello? I don't know him!"

"Really? Why did I see you playing together before?"

"You must have seen it wrong, or he was chatting me up at that time. You know I often encounter this kind of thing!"

"That's right. Seeing him standing there stupidly and wanting to say hello to you, it must be because you treat your pursuers too well, which made him have an illusion about you. Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to get the university offer so smoothly. I'm really surprised."

"That's because your mind is not on studying at all, otherwise you would have discovered my strength a long time ago. Don't say it, let's go in quickly."

As the girls talked, Leonard seemed to be petrified, and the words of the girls kept echoing in his mind: "I don't know him."

"How could this be?" After standing still for a long time, Leonard began to recall the process of meeting the girl before.

At school, he has always been a genius in the eyes of teachers, and a nerd in the eyes of other students. He is often bullied in various ways. There is a long list of various experiences, and it is impossible to write them all on a piece of paper.

He was used to being ignored by girls, but one day, the girl suddenly appeared beside him. However, at the girl's request, there were no outsiders around them every time they were together.

The girl explained this as follows: "Leonard, you are a good person, but I have too many suitors, many of whom like to bully people. I don't want you to get hurt, so let's not let anyone know. Wait until everyone graduates before making it public."

Faced with the girl's obvious lies, Leonard's super high IQ was completely ineffective, and he foolishly agreed. In the following days, he helped the other party with homework every day, and even helped the other party write a paper when he graduated from high school, so as to get a university offer.

After finally waiting for the graduation day, Leonard was looking forward to the two of them being together openly, but the girl said that she had never known him, which made him doubt his life.

"Are you Leonard?"

At this moment, a girl's voice came from the side. He turned his head and saw that it was a blonde beauty. The other party's outstanding appearance and figure made him a little nervous, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hi, Nancy! Do you know this beauty?" At this moment, a tall boy's drunken roar made Leonard come back to his senses.

"Jimmy, my name is not Nancy, my name is Leonard!"

Jimmy took another sip of beer and laughed: "Hahaha, ok, Nancy, I know."

"I'm not talking to you, don't talk too much there!" Peggy frowned at this time. The smell of alcohol on Jimmy's body and his careless look made her very uncomfortable.

"What did you say?" Jimmy was stunned, came forward, stared at the girl fiercely and said: "Listen..."

"You'd better stay away from her!" A voice came from the side. At this time, Jimmy noticed the man with the girl.

"What did you say?" Jimmy narrowed his eyes, pointed at Link with a beer bottle and threatened angrily: "How dare you say that again!"

"I don't want to waste unnecessary time." Link gave the other party a contemptuous look, and then said to Leonard next to him: "Hello, Leonard..."

Seeing that Link didn't seem to care about him at all, Jimmy immediately became angry and held the beer bottle high in his hand, obviously preparing to open it for Link.

"Be careful!" Leonard suddenly panicked. As a weakling who was only slightly better than Sheldon who was being chased by a chicken, he had always been the target of campus bullying. It was good not to run away at this time.

"It seems like I really need to waste a little time." As soon as Link finished speaking, Jimmy fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain.

Link deliberately controlled the force, so Jimmy was only in pain, but the actual damage was not serious. However, he was drunk and made such a fool of himself. He was immediately angered: "Fake! You are dead!"

At this time, Peggy next to him suddenly kicked Jimmy in the head, knocking him unconscious.

"Be quiet you bastard." Peggy said, and then said to Leonard: "Do you mind talking to us?"

"Oh." Leonard glanced at Jimmy, and then followed Link and Peggy in a daze into the parked car next to him.

"There is no need to pay too much attention to these guys. They are all tough guys. If you encounter a stronger one, you will kneel down directly." Link said first.

"Who are you?" Leonard asked after coming back to his senses.

Peggy said: "I am Peggy, and he is Link. We recently read the book "The Unhelpful Man" written by Dr. Hofstadter. We are very curious about the examples in it and got you from her. I just came to see you."

When Leonard heard the title of the book, he immediately showed an ugly look: "Okay, I am the example you want to see."

Link said: "Actually, we don't mean to laugh at you at all. In fact, many successful people have experienced being bullied in high school. The key is that you know what kind of person you want to be, not Like those people, living their lives in confusion.”

"Thank you." Leonard raised his head and saw that Link didn't seem to be simply comforting him. His face suddenly looked much better. Then he seemed to have thought of something. Then he thought for a while and seemed to confirm: "You are Link and Peggy. , could it be that he solved Fermat’s theorem and became the youngest winner of the Fields Medal.”

"To be precise, she is the youngest winner of the Fields Medal, not me." Link pointed at Peggy and said with a smile: "The reason why these guys bully those nerds is just because they are unaware of it. Just jealous.

You happen to be graduating from high school today. Believe me, from now on, those who have done well in high school, their good days have come to an end, and they are destined to be eliminated. "

"Thank you." Leonard, who had been fed chicken soup, suddenly felt much better: "Did you encounter the same thing when you were in school?"

Link smiled and said nothing, while Peggy said: "In high school, there were indeed some guys who would go to trouble Link, but after being taught a lesson by Link, they are usually more honest."

"Uh..." After hearing what Peggy said, Leonard, who originally thought Link was the same as him, suddenly felt that he had been hit hard by reality again.
