It's time to get off work.

Leonard knocked on the office door, then leaned half in and said, "Hey, what are you busy with?"

"Nothing to do." Xiang Nan was startled and quickly put down the draft of the calculation while winking at Howard.

Howard understood and quickly put the draft away.

"What the hell are you doing?" Leonard asked confused when he saw this.

"Nothing, just doing some trivial research." Xiang Nan grinned and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I'm off work, and I want to invite you to dinner together." Leonard smiled.

"Sorry, we may not have time." Xiang Nan waved his hand and declined.

He and Howard's calculations were at a critical moment and there was no time to waste, so they planned to buy a hamburger and continue working.

"Is there nothing wrong with you?" Leonard frowned, his doubts deepening.

"Nothing, just work." Howard smiled.

"Okay then." Leonard withdrew.

Xiang Nan continued to work with Howard.

At about seven o'clock, Xiang Nan's cell phone rang.

"Honey, where are you?" The call was from Penny.

"I'm still working, and my research is at a critical moment." Xiang Nan explained.

"That's it, then I'll find a program by myself." Penny said with some regret.

"Well, I'm sorry. Next time something like this happens again, I will call you in advance to tell you." Xiang Nan also said apologetically.

"Okay, that's it, goodbye." Penny then hung up the phone.

"Dude, I really admire you. You're actually busy working here without even having a girl to accompany you." Howard teased with envy and jealousy.

"Howie, once our invention is successfully developed, not to mention little beauties like Penny, even the Victoria's Secret Angels will come after us." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.

"That makes sense." Howard nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then licked his lips and said in a very vulgar manner, "I really don't know what it's like to be a Victoria's Secret Angel."

"Stop thinking nonsense now, it's important to work quickly." Xiang Nan was so disgusted by him that he quickly reminded him.

…

After working until late at night, the two of them left the school and went home.

And their calculations were not complete.

This made Xiang Nan aware of the gap between him and Sheldon.

After being inspired by Leonard, Sheldon completed all the calculations and wrote the paper in less than one night.

And he and Howard had been busy for nearly twelve hours, and so far they were only halfway through the calculation.

To complete all the calculations, even if it goes well, it will take at least three days.

Compared to Sheldon, it's really far behind.

But even so, Xiang Nan still didn't plan to ask him for help.

After returning home, Xiang Nan took a shower and then fell asleep.

Today, he had been doing research all day, and he overused his brain. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but suddenly, Xiang Nan was awakened by a heavy knock on the door.

He shuddered involuntarily, then climbed out of bed and pulled out a baseball bat from under the bed.

The public security environment in the United States is not very good. Robbery, theft, blackmail, and extortion are very common.

In the play, Sheldon and Leonard have been robbed many times.

Xiang Nan then came to the door with a baseball bat and looked out through the peephole, only to see Penny standing outside the door. Her clothes were messy and her eyes were drunk.

Xiang Nan quickly opened the door and immediately smelled a strong smell of alcohol and the sour smell of drunken vomiting, which was nauseating.

"Oh my God, how much have you drunk?" He helped her in while holding his breath.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not drunk." Penny said innocently, "Bring me some more wine and we'll drink again."

Seeing her drunk like this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, he still prefers girls who are self-disciplined.

Despite this, Xiang Nan endured the smell of alcohol and helped Penny change out of her dirty clothes, then put water in her bath and warmed her milk to help her detoxify.

After finishing everything, he sent her to bed to rest. He wrapped himself in a quilt and curled up on the sofa all night.

…

The next day, Penny woke up and saw herself lying in Xiang Nan's house, and she was immediately confused.

Last night she invited her friends to sing karaoke, and she drank while singing karaoke. In the end, she was so drunk that she didn't know how she got back.

She scratched her head, climbed out of bed, and came to the living room. She saw breakfast, sausages, fried eggs, and toast on the dining table.

There are water cups and medicine bottles next to them, and a piece of paper is pressed under the medicine bottles.

Penny picked up the paper and looked at it, and saw that it said, "Honey, I went to work first. I saw that you were sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake you up.

Breakfast is on the table. It may be a little cold. Remember to heat it up in the microwave. Don't eat it cold, as it is not good for your stomach.

The bottle contains liver-protecting medicine, just take two pills at a time. Remember, don’t drink so much in the future, it’s not good for your health.”

The signature is "Raji, I feel sorry for you", and a heart is drawn next to it.

"Oh~" Penny's heart melted when she saw this affectionate note.

She has dated so many boyfriends, but she has never met one as gentle and considerate as Xiang Nan.

She was really touched.

…

In the next few days, Xiang Nan and Howard worked hard on the calculations.

But there were some data that the two of them just couldn't calculate, which gave them quite a headache.

"There is no other way. I think I can only ask Sheldon for help." Howard calculated for a long time and sharpened his pencil more than a dozen times, but he still couldn't figure it out and couldn't help complaining.

"Don't worry, even if you need to ask someone for help, you don't necessarily have to ask for help from Sheldon." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

He admitted that he was not as smart as Sheldon, but he also believed that Sheldon would not be the smartest person at Caltech.

In the play, there are many people whose IQs are not inferior to him, or even higher than him.

For example, the fifteen-year-old Northern Dynasty prodigy, Leslie Winkle, Barry Kripke, Amy Fila Fowler, and the Soviet janitor.

"So who do you have in mind?" Howard asked curiously.

Xiang Nan made some calculations and first eliminated the Northern Prodigy, Amy Filafuller and Barry Kripke.

The prodigy of the Northern Dynasty has not yet appeared, and his character is even worse than Sheldon's, and is just as unbearable.

Amy Phila-Fowler also did not show up, and after all, she has a PhD in neurology, so there is some distance between her and physics.

Barry Kripke is a sinister and selfish villain. In the play, Leonard and Howard cooperated with him on the communication system, but he stole all the research results.

With this in mind, Xiang Nan will naturally not make the same mistake again.

Therefore, there are only two candidates left, one is the Soviet concierge and the other is Leslie Winkle.
