Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

【Happy New Year.】

When sending this message, Xu Weiran did not expect to receive a reply.

Ever since Qin Yuxin told him to wait for news, Xu Weiran never responded to her greeting messages during the holidays.

At other times, he didn't dare to send any extra messages, for fear of arousing Qin Yuxin's disgust. Only during holidays could he send her one or two messages in the name of the holiday.

There was never a reply, from his initial loss to his current habit.

Even though I heard a notification sound on the terminal after sending the message, I still expected it to be her reply.

——That is nothing but a dream.

Xu Weiran even began to doubt whether Qin Yuxin had forgotten about him a long time ago.

Si Cizhan had even caught up with Jiang Yan, but he hadn't made any progress at all.

Is it true that normal people are harder to pursue and truly be together with than people like Jiang Yan who have abnormal thinking?

After sending the message, Xu Weiran had the New Year’s Eve dinner with his mother and stepfather who just got married last year, and then watched the Spring Festival Gala with the two elders in front of the TV.

He didn't pay much attention to the terminal ringing until after twelve o'clock, when he took out the terminal screen and prepared to read the messages sent by Xia Fei and others.

——Even if others don’t tell others, Xia Fei, Lu Ze and Liming will definitely send messages, as well as other friends in the contact list.

The first thing I saw after clicking on it was Qin Yuxin, who had always been pinned to the top, with an unread message displayed on it.

Xu Weiran stood up quickly, rubbed his eyes, and almost thought he was seeing things.

Qin Yuxin's reply was very brief, with only the same four words "Happy New Year".

Xu Weiran walked around the bedroom twice, thinking about what message to reply.

Let’s talk about today’s Spring Festival Gala program?

Or ask her how she spent the New Year.

In fact, he wanted to ask her if she had waited for him as she said at the beginning, and now that she replied to his message, did it mean that he had waited for her?

She should have returned to Xiaoyu City for the New Year. How about taking advantage of this rare New Year holiday while both of us are in Xiaoyu City and asking her out to play... ?

It seemed that no reply was appropriate. Xu Weiran had never been so anxious when he encountered troubles and difficulties during his research.

After careful consideration, he replied: "Sorry, I was watching the Spring Festival Gala and didn't pay attention to the terminal message."

【It’s okay, I’m watching too. 】

The other party's reply was faster than he expected. It was like a dose of sedative, and Xu Weiran's anxious heart gradually calmed down.

……

When Si Cizhan returned to Sijiu City on vacation, Jiang Yan and his colleagues had just finished their New Year vacation and had already stayed in the company's research institute for a few days, solving research problems within the institute. They were planning to leave Sijiu City to continue their previous research cooperation.

After returning to Sijiu City, Si Cizhan couldn't help but go to find Jiang Yan first. Remembering that Aierian had lived with Jiang Yan for a month, Si Cizhan greeted the people in the house, put down his luggage, and pulled Jiang Yan away from Zhao Fangfang and Aunt Wang to the yard.

He quietly expressed his desire to live with her in the yard.

Jiang Yan said: "You can move in."

Si Cizhan's expression remained unchanged. He only coughed lightly and said, "It's not very convenient to have elders at home."

Jiang Yan: "You mean I should move out?"

Si Cizhan nodded: "I'll arrange accommodation?"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's arrange it in Xiaoyu City. Sijiu City doesn't need too many houses."

"Okay." Si Cizhan pinched her palm and wanted to bend down and kiss her, but he was afraid that Aunt Wang or Zhao Fangfang would suddenly come out and see them. Although that was not possible, he felt inexplicably guilty when he thought of Jiang Yan sitting inside.

In the end, he just kissed her fingers, then went in and chatted with Zhao Fangfang for a while.

Zhao Fangfang was quite curious. While they were both there, she simply asked Jiang Yan and Si Ci Zhan what they thought about dating.

Of course, more people were asking Si Cizhan about Jiang Yan's attitude. Zhao Fangfang had seen it clearly these days.

She didn't even notice who her daughter was dating.

There is no such thing as a young girl in love or being in a passionate relationship. She just spends the whole day chewing on cold information and computer data.

Zhao Fangfang was more worried about Si Cizhan. She could see that his heart and eyes were completely devoted to his daughter. After chatting with her, he seemed to be able to accept any of Jiang Yan's flaws.

There naturally wouldn't be many people Jiang Yan would be willing to date, or maybe even just this one. Zhao Fangfang inevitably asked Si Ci Zhan about marriage and family.

Regarding the matter of marriage, Si Ci Zhan did not give a direct answer, but looked at Jiang Yan first.

Jiang Yan had a laptop on her lap and was writing a computer program. When she felt his gaze, she stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him.

She didn't listen to the conversation between Zhao Fangfang and Si Cizhan, and planned to leave it all to Si Cizhan.

But the requirement of eye contact and looking back was what Si Cizhan wanted, and this was something Si Cizhan proposed not long after he cried at the research institute.

He asked Jiang Yan to respond to his gaze in a timely manner when she felt his gaze.

She didn't say anything, but just looked up and looked at him. Maybe she was still thinking about the computer program while looking at him.

Si Cizhan smiled, raised his hand to rub her head, then tucked her untied hair behind her ear and said, "Go on."

Zhao Fangfang looked at how the two of them got along and already had the answer in her mind.

Si Cizhan's emotions were very stable. Zhao Fangfang had been talking to him for such a long time, but his facial expression hadn't changed much. He seemed no different from the Si Cizhan she remembered a few years ago, except that he was not as cold towards people and looked more calm.

Originally, she was worried that Jiang Yan was cold-natured and Si Cizhan was similar, and that the two of them would not be suitable for each other. But when she saw Si Cizhan smiling at her daughter with a smile on his face, Zhao Fangfang knew that they were a good match.

Just talking about dating, the two are at least extremely suitable for each other, but when it comes to starting a family and getting married, that's not necessarily the case.

Si Cizhan said, "As for marriage, as long as Yanyan wants to get married, I can file a marriage report at any time."

"Aunt Zhao, I know Yanyan's situation. I've already made up my mind. If Yanyan and I get married, we'll just have a small family and no children. Neither Yanyan nor I are suitable for raising children."

In fact, after learning about the true situation of autism, Si Ci Zhan didn't even plan to go to the last step with Jiang Yan.

He was now certain that Jiang Yan liked him, but he also knew that his sweetheart was emotionally indifferent. If she felt disgusted or rejected him, this love would likely turn to ashes and disappear.

Compared to normal people, it is more difficult for her to develop feelings for others, but it is extremely easy for her to give up these emotions that she herself is not aware of.

Si Ci Zhan did not intend to gamble on the possibility that everything might turn upside down. He could not afford that result.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangfang almost said that as a grandmother, she could help take care of the child.

It was just a thought, and Zhao Fangfang quickly rejected her idea. The child needed a parent, and she couldn't replace them. Besides, whether or not to have children was a matter between them.

But it is extremely rare to get married without having children, and it is even rarer to be unsure whether to get married or not.

"Have you asked your parents? I'm afraid your mother, Song Yuwei, might not agree."

"My mom is a very soft-hearted person. Don't worry, Auntie. I will communicate these matters clearly with my family and she will agree. My grandfather only strictly controls my military affairs and will not interfere in the private affairs of young people. You can also rest assured about my dad. Even if he thinks what I did is wrong, he will only give me a few words of advice and will not force me to take the 'right' path."

"My dad is a man who believes that no matter whether the choice is right or wrong, he has to bear the consequences of his own choices."

Just like when he was young, his father decided not to interfere too much in what he did.

Having said that, Zhao Fangfang naturally couldn't cause any more trouble for Si Cizhan, so she confided:

"Since you know Yanyan's situation, I only have one request. Be good to her. If you can't do it, don't force it. Yanyan doesn't lack this."

The emphasis is on the last sentence.

Si Cizhan nodded seriously: "Please rest assured."
