Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

"Why are you here?"

And he looked like he had just taken a shower and came downstairs.

Si Cizhan tightened his grip on his knees, his eyes dimmed, and the next second, he skipped over the topic without changing his expression and asked, "Where's Jiang Yan?"

"Don't be so scary, I'm a coward." Aierian tapped the stair railing twice. Just then, he heard footsteps upstairs. He looked up and shouted, "Yanyan, Si Cizhan is here to see you."

Si Ci Zhan instantly became nervous. He was still wondering why Aierian was here. A few unlikely ideas just popped up in his mind, but now he had no time to think about anything else. He subconsciously looked towards the corner of the stairs.

The closer the footsteps got, the more they sounded like they were coming down. Si Ci Zhan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he even wanted to avoid them.

At this moment, he didn't know what expression to use to look at Jiang Yan.

Before coming this morning, he had already dressed himself up before going out and changed into almost new clothes.

Before coming, he thought he had already made all the mental preparations on his way back to the old city. Now, listening to the thundering heartbeat in his ears, he realized that he was not prepared at all.

His eyes seemed to be glued to the stairs, and Aerion was completely forgotten. The slight timidity in his heart was washed away by the longing that had accumulated over the years.

He really hadn't seen her for too long.

After avoiding everything related to her for four years, on the train back to Beijing, he deliberately talked about the scientific research team with others, and suddenly realized that he had missed so much.

When he first returned to Beijing, he thought about coming directly to see her.

But Si Cizhan didn't want to rush the meeting, nor did he want to leave a bad impression, so he went home first.

Jiang Yan came out of her room and heard Aunt Wang say that she had just taken a shower and had her hair blow-dried but not tied up yet, so she walked downstairs and Aunt Wang followed her.

The moment he saw Jiang Yan, Si Cizhan subconsciously stood up, took a step towards the stairs, then retracted it: "Jiang Yan."

He suppressed his emotions, his voice was restrained and slightly deep, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a subtle tremor in it.

If Ailian hadn't noticed something strange about Si Cizhan asking about Jiang Yan yesterday, now he understood it completely. He was immediately furious, and the more angry he got, the more he laughed, his tone contemptuous: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, who are you showing this pitiful look to?"

"Weren't you quite mean to me just now?"

So pitiful?

Jiang Yan, who had just come downstairs, glanced at Si Cizhan and didn't see the pitiful look that Aierian mentioned at all.

The person standing next to the sofa was as straight as a pine tree in the sun or a street lamp under the moon. If you didn't know him, you would think he was standing guard in her house.

Aunt Wang, who followed Jiang Yan down, laughed instead. It was only today that she found out that Si Ci Zhan had such thoughts.

Compared with Alian, who has no idea how many ex-boyfriends he has at home and abroad and whose identity is not necessarily safe, she would definitely support the kid from the Si family more.

At least he comes from a legitimate military family. Although they are not in the same system, Aunt Wang, as an old member of the National Security Bureau, knows a lot about Si Cizhan's reputation in the army.

Si·pitifully·Ci Zhan glanced at Aierian, a hint of displeasure inadvertently flashed across his brows, his eyes were full of pressing warnings, coupled with the cold and murderous aura of a blood-soaked soldier, those soldiers with extremely high military qualities in the army company were suppressed and dared not say a word, not to mention Aierian, a young master of a capitalist who came back from abroad.

Ailian was indeed frightened. The look that fell on him for a moment was even more terrifying than the question he had just asked why he was doing it at this time. A little cold sweat seeped out of his back. He didn't show it on his face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious and more ostentatious. He turned to Jiang Yan and said:

"Yanyan, look at him. He came to your house to protest against me. What does that mean?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first.'"

Jiang Yan just walked to Ailian's side, and when she heard the words, she glanced at Si Cizhan. She didn't notice the pitiful look just now, and this time she didn't see anything of Ailian's protest. She only saw Si Cizhan standing there, so she said:

"You can sit down. I'm not your superior. There's no need to stand and salute."

"Heh." Si Cizhan sneered mercilessly.

Complain to Jiang Yan?

That also depends on whether Jiang Yan can understand other people's emotions.

He just had a cold face and showed no other expression. Even if Ailian was really Jiang Yan's boyfriend now, Jiang Yan couldn't tell whether he was warning or threatening Ailian.

Not to mention that Aelion is just a qualified suitor.

Jiang Yan might not even support him.

...Shouldn't it?

Si Cizhan was a little unsure and glanced at Jiang Yan again. Jiang Yan had already come downstairs by then and happened to meet his gaze. Seeing that he was still standing there, she was obviously a little confused:

"Why are you looking at me? Sit down."

"Auntie Wang, give him some fruit."

Summer is of course the season for eating fruits. Even if there is a temperature control system in the room, it cannot change the eating habits of this season.

"Okay. You guys chat." Aunt Wang nodded with a smile and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Yan's first words were: "What do you want from me?"

Si Cizhan pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and spoke after a moment: "If nothing happens, can't I come to you?"

Now it was Aierian's turn to laugh as he followed Jiang Yan downstairs.

"If you have nothing to do, don't come and waste Yanyan's time."

What a joke! Even a qualified suitor like him doesn't have the ability to make Jiang Yan waste his time.

I don’t know where Si Cizhan, who dares to think but not to do, ranks.

"I didn't ask you."

Seeing Aierian sitting down next to Jiang Yan, Si Cizhan felt that he was very eye-catching.

The sofa was long and wide, and Aierian happened to sit next to Jiang Yan, leaving a large area of ​​the sofa empty.

When Jiang Yan heard that Si Cizhan, who had not been heard from for four years, came to see her, her first reaction was naturally to think that he had something to ask her, and she really didn't think that he was fine.

His answer actually made Jiang Yan silent for a moment, and then she said, "Try not to look for me if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy now."

Si Cizhan didn't take Ailian's words to heart. When he heard Jiang Yan say that, he instantly deflated. He quickly took out a card and a folded paper from his pocket, placed them on the long table in the middle, and handed them to Jiang Yan:

"There's still something."

"This is my bank card. The pocket money I haven't given you in the past four years is all in it. From now on, transfer money directly to this card. The password is written on the paper."

Bank cards are a new thing that has only come out in the past two years. They are so new that they can't be any newer. Many people still prefer to use passbooks. They think that bank cards are too small and weightless, easy to lose, and may be broken or damaged if not handled with care. In short, in the eyes of many people, such a card is not very reliable.

Jiang Yan looked at the bank card he placed in front of her, but she didn't take it immediately. Ailian laughed in anger, picked it up and threw it back, saying:

"Yan Yan doesn't need your little money, what are you trying to do by playing this trick?"

Si Cizhan looked at the bank card that Aierian threw back to him, and the words he hadn't finished speaking instantly got stuck in his throat. But before he had time to feel bad, he saw Jiang Yan reach out and take it back.

Then he turned to Aelian and said, "Don't touch my things. I didn't give you the power."

She was indeed stating the facts as usual, and her tone was calm, but unexpectedly it contained a strong warning that made people afraid to act rashly.

Even Si Ci Zhan subconsciously put the piece of paper with the password written on it in front of her.

Aryan could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and turned his face away, no longer looking at them.

Si Cizhan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered how his allowance had increased over the past four years, and how he had added a certain amount of pocket money to Jiang Yan's allowance every week.

Jiang Yan took the bank card and looked at the card number, then looked at the password on the paper, then tore up the paper and threw it into the trash can, and asked:

"Four years, and you still haven't found anyone?"

"...No." Si Cizhan lowered his eyes. He still remembered what he said when he left her room that year. The corners of his eyes suddenly turned red. "I tried, but it didn't work. I'm sorry."

His decision to come back to see her was not a momentary impulse, but a result of verification and practice, and he felt that he had to have her.

"I don't want to disturb you either." Si Cizhan said.

"If you don't want to disturb me, then don't..." It shouldn't appear.

Aierian sneered and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He glanced at Jiang Yan and his eyes darkened slightly. He had a hunch that he couldn't let Jiang Yan and Si Cizhan continue this topic.

What if...what if something unexpected happens?

He couldn't tell what exactly he was worried about, but he urged Jiang Yan from the bottom of his heart:

"You should be doing your research and experiments. How about I entertain Si Cizhan for you? Coincidentally, I'm actually quite familiar with the Si family. Except for their father, I know Si Cizhan's sister and brother. Aunt Song and I have a good relationship too, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to have a few words with Si Cizhan."

Jiang Yan opened the terminal and checked the time. Just as she was about to speak, Si Cizhan said, "No!"

"He and I...I want to talk to him alone, but I have something else to say to you."

He wanted to say that he and Aierian had nothing to discuss, but then he remembered that some things should be asked in person, so he changed his words and looked at Jiang Yan again:

"Give me five minutes. It only takes two minutes for me to chat with him alone. I'll come to you in the remaining three minutes."

"Okay." Jiang Yan was willing to give Si Cizhan this time. It just so happened that she had learned about the current development of mental power in the military through her contact with Liang Haoxue in the past few years, so she had sorted out some information and planned to give it to him when Si Cizhan came to find her. Unexpectedly, Si Cizhan never contacted her once, and she ultimately did not pass the information directly to the military through the National Security Bureau. "Just come to my room."

Jiang Yan spoke briefly, then got up and went upstairs.

Aierian was a little restless. He had no right to enter Jiang Yan's room.

Jiang Yan wouldn't let him in, and Aunt Wang wouldn't let him in either.

As for Zhao Fangfang, if he dared to enter Jiang Yan's room, regardless of whether Jiang Yan was inside or not, Zhao Fangfang would probably kick him out.

"Aren't you afraid of his wolfish ambitions? Letting him into your room would only bring the wolf into the house." He said unhappily. Seeing Jiang Yan went upstairs and ignored him, he added, "If he can enter your room, then I can enter too."

Jiang Yan didn't seem to intend to pay attention to what he said, probably thinking he was talking nonsense. Aierian got angry and stood up and called Jiang Yan.

"Is there any need for you to come into my room?" Jiang Yan stopped on the stairs and looked down at Aierian. "I have a lot of information in my room. As a returned overseas Xia person, you have always been guarded around me. Entering my room is asking for trouble."

Ailian looked at Si Cizhan, who was sitting as steady as a mountain. "But he can go in."

Jiang Yan also glanced at Si Cizhan. Si Cizhan seemed a little relaxed. Perhaps it was because Jiang Yan's treatment of Aierian was not special at all, which gave him inexplicable confidence.

He even ate the fruit that Aunt Wang had just cut and placed on the table, and smiled at Jiang Yan. This made Jiang Yan, who had rarely seen Si Cizhan smile before, feel a little rare and inexplicable.

I don't know what he is laughing at.

Of course, she didn't need to figure out what Si Ci Zhan was laughing at, but instead answered Aierian's words:

"He's a soldier."

Si Ci Zhan laughed out loud this time. After finishing a piece of fruit in his hand, he wiped his hands with the paper beside him and leaned back on the sofa. He sat much more relaxed than when he first arrived. He was still imposing and extraordinary, not inferior to Aerian who was standing.

Her phoenix eyes twitched as she glanced at Aierian, continuing Jiang Yan's words: "I'm a soldier. Even if I see the information in Jiang Yan's room, if it's leaked, I'll have nowhere to escape. So the country and Jiang Yan will trust me, won't you?"

"Because of Jiang Yan's special status, there are many people around him who need to be guarded against, especially those like you who have returned from overseas and have complicated identities and relationships."

Jiang Yan nodded: "He's right, don't ask for trouble. It won't do any good to your pursuit. It will only limit your performance."

After hearing what they both said, Aierian couldn't help but get even angrier even more, even though what they said was true.

He had to change his perspective, "I'm pursuing you, but you're speaking for others. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"We agreed that you would cooperate with me. Does standing on Si Cizhan's side count as cooperating with me? I don't believe you can't see that he's interested in you."

This finally allowed him to find the right way to speak. Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you consider that Si Ci Zhan really likes me, strictly speaking, it doesn't count."

"But you can't enter my room because I consider your safety and freedom of movement. If I were more strict, you wouldn't even be able to get through this door. I'm cooperating with you, Aelian."

She was reasoning with Arian and telling him the intentions behind his actions and decisions, which to others sounded like a soothing of Arian's indignation.

Although Jiang Yan's words were emotionless, Ai Lian was inexplicably satisfied: "Okay. Just don't forget our agreement."

He emphasized the word "agreement" and sat back on the sofa, looking at Si Ci Zhan with a contemptuous smile.

Si Ci Zhan ignored him and stood aside without saying a word, listening to Jiang Yan's footsteps as she went upstairs.

He really wanted to speak just now, but he had to remain silent. Ailian could ask Jiang Yan for her cooperation with confidence, but he couldn't.

He didn't even have a reason to interrupt, he could only watch Jiang Yan patiently explain and comfort Aierian, and watch Aierian feel provoked as if he was biased.

Especially when he saw Aierian asking Jiang Yan for an explanation, Si Cizhan could only sneer in his heart. He thought it was just pretense, which made him feel sick. If it weren't for Jiang Yan's face, he might have beaten the man down.

"Is the show over?" After Jiang Yan went upstairs, Si Cizhan raised his eyes to look at Ailian across from him. His gaze was like lightning. He stood up and walked towards the door. "Come out after the show. We'll settle other accounts."
