Daily American Drama

New Jersey.

Hofstadter House.

Adam, let me introduce, this is my dad, Dr. Alfred Hofstadter, and my mom, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter!

Mom and Dad, this is Adam, my best friend!

Leonard gave an introduction to the two parties with great vigor.

Hello, Dr. Alfred Hofstadter!

Hello, Adam.

Leonard's father directly gave Adam a warm hug, patted Adam on the back and smiled, You can call me Alfred.

Okay, Alfred.

Adam naturally followed suit.

Hi, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter.

Adam looked at Leonard's mother, and was about to reach out, but thinking about her character, he put it down as soon as he raised it, and just nodded with a smile.

Looks like Leonard told you about me before.

The eyes under Beverly's sockets looked at Adam's retracted hand, a look of scrutiny and understanding flashed in her eyes, and she said solemnly and coldly.

Everyone knows about you without Leonard telling you.

Leonard's dad murmured under his breath.

That's normal.

Beverly glanced at her husband blankly: I am a famous neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and world-class parenting and child growth expert.

The published monographs sell well all over the world, and are set as compulsory textbooks in many disciplines such as neurology, psychology, psychiatric research, and children's education. You don't need to emphasize this well-known thing.

Then, ignoring her deflated husband, she raised her glasses, looked at Adam, and said solemnly: If you want to shake hands, I can shake hands with you. Although I don't like it, it's a social custom, and I can understand it.

no need.

Under Leonard's apologetic gaze, the corners of Adam's mouth twitched, and he declined with a smile.

What do you drink? Tea, coffee, or Coke?

After Leonard invited Adam to sit down, he warmly welcomed Adam.

Tea is fine.

Adam smiled.

So, Adam, you and Leonard are good friends?

Beverly sat on the sofa opposite, looking at Adam carefully.

yes.

Adam regretted coming over.

It's because Beverly's eyes are too sharp, looking at him is like looking at an experimental product, it's even more uncomfortable than Little Sheldon and Peggy together.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear it.

why?

Beverly said blankly.

what?

Adam was taken aback.

You're a college student and Leonard is a high school student. There's a few years between you two.

Beverly said in all seriousness: Studies have shown that young children are very eager to play with older children, and older children are not willing to play with younger children.

If it was Leonard looking for you, I can understand, but I heard that you took the initiative to find Leonard.

Having said that, she raised her glasses, looked straight at Adam, and said expressionlessly, Why?

I'm studying psychology.

Adam suppressed the problems in his heart, and said with a smile: I have read your book The Unable to Help, and I am very interested in the Leonard described in your book, so I took the initiative to find Leonard.

very interested?

Beverly's eyes lit up: Academic or indescribable?

...

Luckily Leonard hasn't brought the tea yet, otherwise Adam would have sprayed it.

Beverly!

Leonard's dad couldn't stand Beverly's bluntness either.

What are you doing?

Beverly glanced at him indifferently, and then looked at Adam carefully: Can't say? That's the indescribable aspect...

Academic!

Adam interrupted hastily.

His forehead hurts a little, and if he listens to her continue, his forehead will probably explode.

Okay, I get it now.

Beverly shook her head and smiled.

The tone was clearly not what Adam wanted her to know.

It's really academic.

Adam repeated the sentence again. Seeing that Beverly still had the same expression, he knew that he couldn't continue to follow her rhythm, or he might really collapse from talking about it.

Because she is the best at this, only after breaking people down can she study others better.

You know, in the original time and space, when Beverly saw Penny, she broke Penny in a few words, and figured out who wants to sleep with Penny, look up the brand of cologne that Penny's father uses, just use the same one conclusion.

The silly boy Leonard, went to comfort the broken Penny that night. No one knew whether to use that kind of cologne, but he really almost made good things with Penny that night.

The reason why it was almost, was because he was extremely arrogant, 'learned and used flexibly', and insisted on bluntly stating the conclusion that his mother had researched that Petunia was controlled by her father.

Petunia told him to do more and talk less, but he didn't listen, and even made even more outrageous remarks.

In the end, it was a chicken-flying-egg beating, and the ashamed and angry Petunia was directly kicked out of the room.

Before Beverly could continue to shake her head and chuckle, Adam changed the subject directly, as if she knew she didn't want to say more since you didn't want to say it.

Dr. Hofstadter, you are a psychiatrist and an expert in parenting and child growth, so you should know that treating Leonard as harshly as you will cause Leonard many psychological problems?

It's an interesting topic.

Beverly raised her glasses again, nodded and said, I don't think this is harsh, his brother and sister came here like this, and now they are the best students at Harvard.

Leonard is also very good.

Adam reminded: But excellent grades and whether you have psychological problems are two different things, so you didn't answer my question?

If there are psychological problems, it means that you are not good enough!

Beverly said with a blank expression: A truly outstanding person is someone who can control his own mind. When you put all your body and mind into innovation and research, and your mind is strong enough, how can psychological problems come to you?

Isn't this too idealistic?

Adam's mouth twitched.

As long as I don't want to, I'm fine?

It's not ideal.

Beverly pointed at the brain and said solemnly: All the truth is hidden here, otherwise why should I study neuroscience? When we really understand the scientific principles of human nerves, we can repair any nerves that have problems, what kind of psychology? There will be no more problems.”

Hehe, that makes sense.

Adam laughed dryly: But I'm afraid it won't be possible in a short time, right?

Don't say that Leonard can't live to that time, even if he lives to that time, he has been tortured by various psychological problems all his life, what's the point of being cured?

That's why scientists like us are required to work hard.

Beverly looked at Adam: Leonard has been contributing to science since he was born, what about you? Adam, are you willing to contribute to science?
