Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

Chapter 300 Can't Do Anything

The institute is far away from human habitation, with no towns or villages nearby. It seems like an isolated island, but the lights in the buildings illuminate the vitality of people on this isolated island.

The soldier at the door had eyes as sharp as torches, and his shadow under the light was as straight and solemn as the man himself.

After a hard day in the lab, some researchers return home and wash up, but do not lie down immediately. Instead, they continue reading at the table or doing some calculations that they did not complete in the lab today but are still thinking about.

The two brothers Zhao Xian and Zhao Xin live in the same house. At this moment, they are checking the day's data under the lamp, and then studying the data from the scientific research team.

Working late into the night is not uncommon in the research institute.

The light in Jiang Yan's room was still on. In the past, Jiang Yan would also be looking at materials, today's research content and data at this time, but now she was holding the materials brought out from the laboratory in one hand and a pen in the other, but she was not staring at the materials in her hand completely.

Instead, he talked to Si Cizhan from time to time, mainly listening to Si Cizhan speak, and then adding a few words when he wanted to.

They both finished their showers and were chatting on the sofa.

Si Cizhan held Jiang Yan in his arms with one hand, leaned back on the sofa, let Jiang Yan half lean on his chest, and held her in his arms while he slowly spoke what he wanted to say.

He didn't talk incessantly. He would just say a few words when he thought of something. Most of the time, he and An were quiet, enjoying their time alone.

——When he spoke, he mostly saw that Jiang Yan seemed to be engrossed in reading the information, and he wanted to use this to attract her attention.

As the clock approached midnight, Si Cizhan reached out to take the pen and documents from her hand and placed them on the low table in front of the sofa. He spoke with a hint of sleepiness, "Yanyan, it's time to go to bed."

Beside her, he felt more relaxed than ever. He yawned and reached out to touch her hair, making sure it was blow-dried when she came out of the bathroom so she could go straight to bed.

Jiang Yan pulled him up and said, "Don't sleep on the sofa."

He seemed to have no resistance at all and was easily led away by Jiang Yan.

When he reached the door, Si Cizhan felt inexplicably nervous and felt something was wrong. He stood outside and said, "Forget it... I'm fine sleeping on the sofa."

Jiang Yan turned around to look at him, and stopped at the door. "Why?"

"We are a couple, there is no need for you to sleep on the sofa." She explained to him quite seriously.

Si Cizhan suddenly remembered what Jiang Yan said as her first reaction when she knew that he liked her that summer.

Her attitude towards relationships like love and lovers seemed to stop at these overly intimate behaviors.

So at this moment, they probably think that sleeping together is not a big deal.

After Si Ci Zhan figured out her thoughts, he became quite relaxed. He stood at the bedroom door and pulled her back to the door. There was only half a step between them. With the door frame as the dividing line, one was outside and the other inside.

"What if... I mean what if." He lowered his head slightly to look at her. The hand she was holding moved, and he intertwined his index finger with hers. The light from the living room cast his shadow on Jiang Yan, making her almost completely enveloped by his figure. "What if I can't control myself while sleeping with you?"

Jiang Yan didn't care much: "What will you do if you can't control yourself? Do you have to sleep with me?"

Si Ci Zhan almost choked on his own saliva and suddenly felt that he had brought up a bad topic. If he had known earlier, she would speak without restraint in this regard and seemed to know everything.

It was obvious that she was the one who understood the least. What she understood was probably some related scientific knowledge.

He coughed lightly, trying to hide and ignore the rising temperature on his face, and admitted helplessly: "I can't do anything."

"Then come in and sleep." She looked at me with a look of what were you afraid of.

Is being able to lie in the same bed a step forward?

Si Ci Zhan was not very sure, and had no way to think about it.

It was dark all around and he couldn't sleep.

After a long while, Si Cizhan hooked Jiang Yan's finger with his little finger and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

Jiang Yan was almost asleep, but there was someone beside her, and his presence was very strong. She hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was half awakened by his little gesture. She turned sideways and replied to him: "What do you want to say?"

Maybe he thought Si Ci Zhan wanted to chat again.

Her voice sounded quite sleepy. Si Cizhan guessed that he had just disturbed her sleep. He felt a little guilty, then reached out to her: "Can I hold you while you sleep?"

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, but answered him with her actions, slowly shrinking into his arms.

After a few movements, she was almost awake. She felt the feeling of sleeping in his arms and gave a very realistic evaluation: "Not very comfortable."

But she didn't push him away. She just pushed Si Ci Zhan flat and half pressed on him. She probably slept in his arms.

Si Cizhan looked at the ceiling in the dark. He raised his hand and rubbed her head. Her hair felt soft and a little cold. "You can refuse, Yanyan."

"You can't sleep." Jiang Yan said firmly, and after thinking for a moment, "If you really can't sleep, you should just sleep on the sofa."

She asked him to sleep on the bed so that he wouldn't have to sleep on the sofa and affect his sleep quality.

Si Cizhan laughed when he heard it, and put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently: "If you can fall asleep, you go to sleep first."

He paused, thinking that Jiang Yan wasn't too shy about these things. After a moment's hesitation, he followed her example and confessed directly, "I'll sleep with you first, and then... I might need to go to the bathroom."

"...Maybe we shouldn't sleep together, but I'm already in bed, and I really don't want to go back to the sofa." Si Cizhan leaned over slightly and hugged her tighter. His hand gently patted Jiang Yan's back, like a feather caressing her. His voice was low and gentle, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Yan was silent for a while, and adjusted her position uncomfortably in his arms. Finally, she put her face into the crook of his neck, which made Si Ci Zhan feel itchy. He wanted to let her go to prevent her from tossing and turning and sleeping uncomfortably.

"understood."

She put one hand on his waist, and Si Cizhan's breathing became lighter. The muscles on his waist were tense for a moment and then slowly relaxed.

Si Cizhan knew her situation clearly, and Jiang Yan herself knew it too.

In the restricted area where both of them were unsure, Si Cizhan was cautious, and Jiang Yan would not easily destroy the balance he deliberately maintained.

She only said three words, but Si Ci Zhan felt her boundless cherishment for him.

"Yanyan, how about I just lie down? But I might disturb you when I get out of bed later." He just didn't want to let go, so he could only choose a compromise.

Jiang Yan leaned into his neck and responded, and Si Ci Zhan moved slowly.

After her breathing became steady and she fell asleep completely, the sound of Si Ci Zhan getting out of bed made her look up at him in a half-awake state.

Si Ci Zhan bent down and kissed her cheek beside the bed, stroking her hair and coaxing her to sleep.

In her presence, the desires born of her naturally take a backseat to her.

When he returned to the bed, he just put his arms around Jiang Yan loosely, and Jiang Yan came up to him just like she did at the beginning. Si Cizhan was a little surprised that she didn't seem to be asleep.

"Why is it taking so long?"

Jiang Yan leaned close to his neck, her breath resting on him as she spoke.

"Sorry." She sounded half asleep, and he apologized inexplicably. "I didn't expect to wake you up. I was very careful when I got out of bed."

Maybe she's waiting for him to come back...

This thought flashed through Si Cizhan's mind.

Then something occurred to him: "Or...did I disturb you? I shouldn't have made much noise."

There was a bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. He didn't go outside. He closed the door and made almost no noise, so he thought the sound insulation should be pretty good.

Jiang Yan didn't speak for a while. Si Cizhan almost thought she was asleep. He even closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he heard her say, "There was a little noise."

Si Cizhan: “…”

The sleepiness I just felt was gone in an instant.

He raised his hands to cover her ears, as if trying to cover up his own faults: "Don't listen next time."

"It's nice," she commented, "your voice."

Jiang Yan's words reached his ears. He breathed deeply and was silent for a moment. He seemed to be torn between the shame of etiquette and the affection of his lover. Finally, he gave in: "If you think it sounds good... next time, I won't avoid you?"

He seemed to hear the sound of himself swallowing and closed his eyes.

Jiang Yan raised her head from the crook of his neck: "Why do you have to listen to this? You can also read the documents to me."

It turns out that I simply thought he had a nice voice.

Si Cizhan's words were instantly blocked. He felt that Jiang Yan was really irritating sometimes. Why didn't he praise her before?

The praise at this time made him think of a bunch of random things: "I'll read it to you later."

She was already in his arms, and when she looked up, she leaned in too close, almost kissing him.

Not the simple cheek kiss he usually gave her, but a real kiss, so close to his lips.

Si Ci Zhan pushed her head back.

The kiss didn't land on his lips, but seemed to land on the side of his neck.

"Okay, stop talking. If you continue, I'll have to get out of bed again." Si Cizhan said.

"Oh." Even Jiang Yan had no control over this kind of thing and could only listen to him obediently.

But she leaned in his arms and thought for a while, her hand on his waist tugged at the clothes on his back, and Si Ci Zhan stroked her back.

Jiang Yan asked him: "Do you need medicine?"

Si Cizhan was a little confused: "What medicine?"

"I took the medicine that won't react even if I'm hugged. If you need me, I can try to research it. Although it hasn't been studied before, it's not impossible to succeed."

She suddenly became very interested in studying this drug.

Si Ci Zhan was silent for a long time after hearing this. He had only ever heard that people needed to take medicine to have sex, but he had never heard of taking medicine specifically to prevent himself from having sex.

Considering that Jiang Yan was indeed kind-hearted, Si Cizhan ruffled her hair with a mixture of laughter and tears, and politely refused: "No thanks."

"You should research some other medicines that can benefit the people."

"Don't waste your research talent."

If Jiang Yan really researched this drug for him, he might become the public enemy of men.

"Okay." These two short, plain words without any emotion, but Si Cizhan felt that he heard regret and pity.

Si Cizhan hugged her amusedly, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and said in a very strange voice: "Yanyan, what are you thinking about?"

How did this come up? Even if a normal person encountered this situation, they wouldn’t be able to think of this solution, right?

Is this the way a genius thinks?

If he didn't know that she was truly a scientific genius, Si Ci Zhan would almost suspect that she had exhausted her brain from research.

"Besides," he lowered his head and whispered to her, "what if you need it in the future? What if the medicine makes you sick?"

Although he didn't dare touch this bottom line and had made preparations for no progress in his lifetime, it did not prevent Si Ci Zhan from still having hope. This was obviously the confidence he gained from her excessive tolerance and favoritism.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

This bottom line was carefully maintained by Si Cizhan. Although Jiang Yan was aware of the relevant situation of autism, she could handle her own affairs, so she didn't care.

The one she really cares about is Si Ci Zhan, and she's worried that everything will collapse. Jiang Yan can handle all her own affairs, but she may not necessarily handle the relationship between them.

It is possible that even if she wants to deal with and resolve it, she will not be able to deal with it normally due to emotional deficiency.

Si Cizhan was afraid that when she encountered a problem, she would only make choices between two options.

"No." He refused firmly, "Let's talk about it later. It's not the right time yet."

In his estimation, they would have to be an old married couple at least, and he would have become an inseparable part of Jiang Yan's world. She would not give up on him easily before he could make further attempts in this regard.

——Perhaps at that time, he was not as lustful as he is now.

I just want to complete more intimate behavior between husband and wife with her.

"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded in his arms, without any objection, "You can tell me when the time is right."

"……good?"

She seemed to be thinking about this matter.
