Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

The six people were looked at by their families, and they basically kept saying that they had lost weight and that they should eat well and replenish their energy when they returned home.

Only Xia Fei's parents couldn't say against their will that he had lost weight.

This kid looks like he's gained some weight in Country X.

Finally, Liu Fenghua patted her son and said, "Show the gold medal to your mother. I've never seen a gold medal in my life. Is it real gold?"

Xia Haijun said, "Son, don't eat too much. A man becomes unattractive when he's fat. Look at you—ah."

Xia Haijun finally sighed. Although his son was indeed handsome and inherited his good looks, he also seemed to have inherited his wife's cuteness.

He looks handsome, a 1.8-meter-tall boy, but how come he has a baby face?

"Don't worry, Dad. We'll continue exercising when we return home. I won't get fat. Besides, I'll still look handsome even if I'm fat."

He gave the gold medal to his mother, and then went to Lu Qinghuan and Lu Ze.

After reuniting with their families, the others gathered together, and Lu Qinghuan and Lu Ze were next to Zhao Fangfang.

"I'm finally back. I skipped work today and took a leave to pick you up." Lu Ze said, carrying a sign with only one word on it.

Lu Qinghuan immediately interrupted him upon hearing this: "Don't listen to my third brother's nonsense. Originally, my second brother was supposed to come today, but he insisted on taking leave to come instead. So my second brother stayed at home to help Auntie and read books."

Obviously, this is a lazy guy who will find excuses and opportunities to skip classes.

Lu Ze chuckled: "Who knows Lu Qingzhou? Maybe Lu Qingzhou deliberately left him at home to wait for a call from your elder sister Xie Mianmian?"

"So what?" Lu Qinghuan glared at Lu Ze, "I'll have Auntie arrange a blind date for you tomorrow!"

Lu Ze rolled his eyes.

After they had reminisced enough and were about to leave, they found that the area was already packed with people. At this time, several soldiers came up and protected the six people as they left the crowd.

At the same time, police were evacuating the crowd at the train station.

Jiang Yan, Xia Fei, Xu Weiran, Liming and others walked a little ahead, while Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin followed behind Jiang Yan. While sighing at the large crowds, they couldn't help but look back.

The welcoming team followed them out of the train station and people automatically made way for them.

The red signs held up by the crowd formed a sentence:

Geniuses emerge from young people, and heroes emerge from the sky.

-

Not long after Jiang Yan returned home, Si Cizhan and Jiang Xiaowen came to see Zhao Fangfang off.

Then Jiang Xiaowen called Jiang Yan and Si Cizhan to talk alone.

It's for the sake of business.

Unless there was danger, Si Cizhan basically avoided Jiang Yan's presence during this period, and never forgot to get close to her.

But no matter how much he procrastinates, some things still need to be resolved and figured out what is going on.

——The matter of space force in Country X.

He tried his best to keep his tone normal and spoke in a businesslike manner about the message Jiang Yan had conveyed through spatial force when they were attacked that day, and whether it contained the power to stop others' actions. He wanted to discuss this with Jiang Yan.

These days he occasionally tries to imitate, but is not very successful. Occasionally there will be some effect, but he has not figured out the specific reason.

When he finished speaking, Jiang Yan went straight to retrieve the characteristic data of command mental power that he had prepared long ago in Country X and handed it to Si Cizhan:

"The situation was urgent at the time, and it was just an accidental discovery. However, I wrote down the spatial force state and later figured out the basic situation. This is the information I prepared."

Even if Si Ci Zhan didn't look for her for this, she would still find Si Ci Zhan.

Since her command ability has been discovered just right, Jiang Yan will naturally not let it go unused. After all, she may need it in the future.

She will obviously be surrounded by soldiers for protection.

"Our spatial powers are the same. It only had a slight suppressive effect on you at the time, and I also felt repulsion. You can try someone with a different spatial power. That is, we haven't figured out what that power is yet. I've already confirmed the materials engineer's spatial power with Xia Fei and the others, and the effect isn't very obvious."

Si Cizhan pursed his lips, raised his hand to take the information she handed over, and looked up at her.

The expression of the girl in front of him was exactly the same as in his memory, and she seemed unaffected by what happened that day. Only he was struggling with shame and regret, and had been hesitant to face her. He had been postponing this important matter, which he could have found an opportunity to sort out in Country X, until now after returning home.

After completing this overseas mission, they should pack up.

The identities of several people have been known to the higher-ups, and the next step is for the National Security Bureau to take over their jobs.

So, before packing up, he came to ask about this uncertain matter.

He thought that perhaps the two of them still needed to discuss the spatial force of the command system, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yan had already considered this aspect and prepared all the information he might need.

Si Ci Zhan held the information in his hand without opening it. He certainly believed in Jiang Yan's ability. Even if there were any shortcomings, he and his team members would conduct further practical research.

He was silent for a long time, then said, "Can you tell me something private?"

Jiang Yan sat down at the desk with a glass of water, turned on the air conditioner, and pulled her high ponytail over the back of the chair, letting a few strands dangle from the side. She nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

"That day in the classroom..." Si Cizhan described what happened that day in great detail this time. He knew that when things had developed to this point, his feelings for Jiang Yan could no longer be concealed from her.

But at least it was better than being a lawbreaker in her definition.

Jiang Yan listened to him and nodded knowingly: "I believe your explanation."

Of course, she also noticed Si Ci Zhan's avoidance in Country X. Apart from that attack, he rarely appeared too close to her again.

"Is that all you have to say?" Si Cizhan was stunned for a moment, and then began to probe carefully. Although he explained the situation clearly, he even directly said that he wanted to kiss her but stopped in time.

But Jiang Yan seemed to him not to understand the meaning of his actions.

He didn't confess directly, so Jiang Yan might not know what he was thinking?

But he also didn't dare to ask directly. Even though he had stood in Jiang Yan's shoes and thought about it many times, he was not sure how Jiang Yan would deal with his feelings.

The biggest possibility is that she doesn't take it seriously at all, but this is also the best outcome for Si Cizhan at the moment.

Since she doesn't take it seriously, doesn't care about it, there will be no rejection, and the relationship between the two will not be like that of ordinary people, which will face collapse because of this special love between men and women.

As long as he manages his mentality and thoroughly explains what happened in the classroom that day, Si Ci Zhan can certainly do this.

But she only cares about what she cares about, and she will directly and clearly refuse people she doesn't want or doesn't want to see or communicate with.

Just like the Zhao family.

He was also afraid that Jiang Yan would cut everything off directly.

"Maybe you want to talk about why you like me?" Jiang Yan asked after thinking and analyzing the matter carefully.

Si Ci Zhan's figure stiffened slightly for a moment. It turned out that she still knew that he liked her.

He took a deep breath and asked, "So, what do you think? I like you."

"Disgusted?" He asked subconsciously, then realized that Jiang Yan couldn't distinguish his shallow emotions, let alone the difference between disgust and love, so he made a substitution that she could understand, "Do you want me to stop liking you?"

Si Cizhan thought this was a rather difficult question, and perhaps Jiang Yan needed to think about it for a while, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yan gave the answer without hesitation:

"of course not."

He suddenly looked up, his heart pounding like a drum, and he felt a little bewildered. The corners of his tightly pursed lips finally relaxed a little, and he asked:

"why?"

"It's impossible that you like me too?"

Si Cizhan half-joked, suppressing the extremely slim expectation in his heart.

Jiang Yan tilted her head and looked at him for a moment: "If you want such an answer, can you give me a standard for judging whether you like this emotion?"

Si Cizhan shrugged helplessly and leaned back against the door. "There are many kinds of liking someone. You can't judge them using simple standards and rules. Basically, you can't do that."

Jiang Yan said: "I can be sure that Lu Qinghuan likes me very much."

Si Cizhan found it even more amusing: "My feelings for you may be similar to hers, but we can also say they are completely different."

As he spoke, a faint blush spread across his handsome face, his ears even redder beneath his dyed golden hair. He found it difficult to say this, as it was too straightforward to describe. "My feelings for you are those of a man and a woman, of the opposite sex. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand." Jiang Yan understood quickly. Since she had established her own emotional rules, she certainly understood the emotions between opposite sexes. "You want to sleep with me."

She spoke with such conviction that Si Cizhan's face was filled with embarrassment, and he froze for a moment. Then, his handsome face flushed visibly, and the corners of his eyes were red. He looked a little aggrieved, and he didn't care about anything else. "I know your perspective, and I can't deny that things will develop in the direction you mentioned in the future, but at least from the time I fell in love with you until now, I have never thought of such...dirty things."

Relying on his understanding of himself, he has been trying to verify his feelings since he first discovered that there was something wrong with him towards Jiang Yan. He has wavered and denied it, thinking that he was just partial to Jiang Xiaowen's sister.

He watched her, observed her, tested her, and understood her until he was truly certain of his feelings.

When he repeatedly examined himself, even he himself could not tell whether it was because of the initial abnormality that made him fall in love with her under such attention, or whether he had already fallen in love with her when there were some clues that something was wrong.

This was like a cycle that connected from beginning to end. Si Ci Zhan couldn't tell the difference and didn't try to distinguish it anymore. Instead, he quietly hid this emotion in his heart.

Even though there are countless dirty jokes and brothers and comrades who make all kinds of jokes in the army, there are also some rude remarks like "Please introduce me to your sister."

But when he really faced the situation of falling in love with his comrade's sister, no matter Jiang Yan's age or her special identity, it was enough to make Si Ci Zhan weigh and think about this feeling again and again, whether he should bury it completely or pursue it openly after she became an adult.

He suppressed this feeling and didn't let anyone find out. He really had never imagined what Jiang Yan said.

Only when I have the chance to get close to her, I can't help but want to say a few more words to her, get her gaze, and stay by her side for a while longer...

Of course, he was also afraid of causing her disgust and never having the chance to attract her attention again. After all, her social rules were different from those of ordinary people.

I was also afraid that other people would find out about my secret crush, so I didn't dare to go any further.

In Si Cizhan's original and most ideal plan, he estimated that he only developed such a liking for Jiang Yan out of curiosity because Jiang Yan's situation was too special. This almost wrong liking would be slowly corrected and disappear in the future, and he would return to normal concern for his comrade's sister.

With such development, they will naturally live in peace with each other in the end.

It's just that changes are always beyond plan.

He would be impressed by her intelligence and admire her rationality in dealing with emotions. When he came into contact with Jiang Yan's almost extreme and ruthless rationality, the restless emotions in his chest seemed to be suppressed by her rationality, which unexpectedly made Si Ci Zhan yearn for and covet her. His love for her would grow like wild weeds when he was most sober, rational and restrained.

He would also feel sorry for her loneliness, even though she was completely unaware of it. Curiosity fostered the soil of love. In his repeated understanding of her and her world, Si Ci Zhan would always question his heart several times, wondering whether he simply felt pity and distress for her because of her pathological defects, or whether he loved her so much that he tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep, because of her blank world and lonely, empty eyes.

If it is a pathological defect that she suffers from, he can spend a lot of time, energy and money to find a cure for her. If it cannot be cured, he can try his best to meet her requirements to comfort his sympathy for her.

But even though he was doing these two things at the same time, he knew better than anyone that ever since he realized his feelings for her, he almost always longed for the same emotional response when he was with her.

He seemed to have a disease. Every time Jiang Yan spoke to him one more word or looked at him one more time, he felt that the bond between them became deeper, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.

Especially when she showed some special feelings to him, or knew some of her secrets, as well as some moments of close and intimate communication in his memory, he sincerely hoped and longed that maybe she would like him too.

So he couldn't deny it, and he couldn't suppress his feelings any more. As the college entrance exam approached, Si Cizhan couldn't help but think about how to confess to Jiang Xiaowen, how to explain to Jiang Xiaowen, his childhood friend and comrade, that he had fallen in love with his comrade's sister.

I will also think about how to pursue Jiang Yan, whether to do it by slowly inducing her to boil the frog in warm water or by directly confessing my love to her and pursuing her.

Even though he knew she was emotionally deficient, he couldn't help but want to give it a try.
