Chapter 70 70【Reveal the truth】
"Leonard, what can you do?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"You, you, you, are you still my good friends, and you have kept such a thing from me for so long?" He pointed at Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie angrily.
A few months ago, he noticed that Xiang Nan and Howard had something to hide from him. At that time, he asked curiously, but Xiang Nan and Howard didn't tell him the truth.
But they didn't expect the truth to come out now. Xiang Nan and Howard have been secretly developing the quantum navigation system, but they didn't tell him. It's too much.
It is understandable not to tell Sheldon, after all, Xiang Nan and Sheldon have turned against each other. But he has always been good friends with them, and Xiang Nan also promises that the relationship between them will remain unchanged.
But now, he was obviously pushed out. How could he, who valued friendship, bear it.
"Besides, you are looking for Leslie to cooperate, but you don't come to me. Am I worse than her?" Leonard continued to be angry.
He and Leslie's level difference is not too big. What Leslie could do, he could do almost as well. And he has a closer relationship with Xiang Nan and Howard. It stands to reason that Xiang Nan and Howard should also cooperate with him.
"Look, I said earlier that I would invite Leonard to join the team." Facing Leonard's accusation, Howard felt very guilty and couldn't help looking at Xiang Nandao.
As soon as Leonard heard it, he knew that Xiang Nan didn't allow it, and immediately looked at him angrily.
"Leonard, don't be angry." Xiang Nan got up and came to Leonard, pulled him into the office, and closed the door.
"The reason why we have been hiding from you and not inviting you to join the team is not because your professional level is not enough, nor is it that we don't regard you as a friend, but because you have Sheldon by your side." He then explained.
"What do you mean?!" Leonard asked puzzled.
He knew that Xiang Nan had fallen out with Sheldon, but what did that have to do with him?
"Leonard, if we tell you about this, then Sheldon will know about this project soon." Xiang Nan explained, "And with his arrogant and self-important character, once he knows about this project, he will definitely will come in and steal the project, so we can't take any chances."
Howard and Leslie both nodded in agreement.
With Sheldon's character, he can indeed do these things.
…
"Sheldon is not what you said." Leonard also defended him.
"Leonard, Sheldon likes to take credit, and it's not the first time to show off. You've been with him for so long, you should know him." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "When does he not put himself first? When he cooperates with others, when will he be willing to be inferior to others?"
"Yeah, when you collaborated with him on supersolid papers, didn't he still insist on putting his name first." Howard opened his mouth to corroborate.
Hearing what they said, Leonard's momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
"Then why are you so sure? Just tell me and Sheldon will know." He still said stubbornly.
"Leonard, let's face the reality, who here doesn't know that you are Sheldon's slave." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "You don't tell him what you have."
"What?" Hearing what he said, Leonard was immediately ashamed and angry.
He doesn't consider himself Sheldon's slave. Xiang Nan actually said that, it really hurt his self-esteem too much.
"Why, Howard, Leslie, do you all think so?" He said in disbelief.
"Leonard, you are indeed too kind to Sheldon, so good that you have no principles." Howard shook his head and said, "You want to be his driver, his servant, his assistant, and even You have to help him remember when he defecates. This is not what a friend should do."
"Yeah, you listened to Sheldon too much, and you almost never resisted him." Leslie also nodded, "You are his vassal, tied to him, how dare we use you. "
But they all said that about themselves, and Leonard couldn't accept it for a while.
"I'm not Sheldon's slave, I'm just a good person." He was stunned for a moment, and forcefully argued, "And, have you all forgotten that he once saved my life, and he once saved my life?" career. Then I treat him well, shouldn’t I?”
Three years ago, when Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh first met, Leonard used to try out rocket fuel in the apartment. As a result, due to a miscalculation, the fuel began to deflagrate. Thanks to Sheldon's timely shot and throwing the fuel barrel into the elevator, he was prevented from blowing up on the spot.
In addition, Leonard was once confused by spy Joyce King, and almost told her the composition of rocket fuel. Fortunately, Sheldon blew her away in time, so that he was exempted from military court.
"Leonard, stop deceiving yourself and others, okay?" Xiang Nan shook his head and regretted, "Yes, Sheldon saved your life and your career.
But without your care in the past few years, Sheldon would have starved to death or died of illness several times, let alone have any scientific research achievements. "
"Yes." Howard nodded in agreement.
Sheldon's ability to take care of himself is very poor. Thanks to Leonard's care these years, he has been able to live healthy and healthy.
"In this regard, you really don't owe him." Xiang Nan looked at Leonard and said, "And the reason why you admire him so much is because Sheldon acts like your mother."
…
"What?!" Leonard was taken aback, so frightened that his asthma relapsed.
He quickly took out the spray and sprayed it twice before recovering.
"Please, your mother, Beverly Hofstadter, has written and published everything that happened to you from childhood to adulthood. How long do you think you can hide it?!" Xiang Nan pouted.
"Oh, God!" Leonard held his head and couldn't help whining, "How did you know?"
"Dr. Beverly Hofstadter is your mother?" Howard asked in surprise, "Wow, you never mentioned this matter."
Xiang Nan sighed.
Leonard grew up in a loveless family.
Since he was a child, his mother has treated him as a test subject, constantly doing experiments on him to verify her neurology and the latest theories of psychology.
His father didn't care about him either. Their only father-son activity was the study of the 2,000-year-old remains of an Etruscan boy.
And his brothers and sisters are all better than him, which makes him have no status in the family. No one cared, no one loved him, which made him feel quite alone.
In order to give himself a little more warmth, at the age of ten, he made a "hug machine" and hugged himself every day. Sadly, his father borrowed it often.
Because of such a cold growth environment, Leonard is particularly lacking in love, and it also makes him form a flattering personality. Blindly please others, while ignoring your own feelings.
This is the reason why Leonard has been dominated and manipulated by Sheldon for so many years and still won't resist.
