save the bachelors

Chapter 70 [Reveal the truth]

"Leonard, what's the matter with you?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

"You, you, you, are you still my good friends, how have you 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 were hiding something from him.At that time, he asked a question out of curiosity, but Xiang Nan and Howard didn't tell him the truth.

But he didn't expect the truth to come out now. Xiang Nan and Howard have been secretly developing a quantum navigation system, but they didn't tell him. It was 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 promised that the relationship between them will remain unchanged.

But now, he was obviously being pushed out.This made him who valued friendship how could he bear it.

"Besides, you guys didn't come to me when you asked Leslie to cooperate. Am I worse than her?" Leonard continued angrily.

He's not much different from Leslie's level.What Leslie can do, he can almost do.And he is closer to 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 but look at Xiang Nandao.

As soon as Leonard heard it, he knew that Xiang Nan would not allow it, and immediately looked at him angrily.

"Leonard, don't be angry yet." Xiang Nan got up and came to Leonard, pulled him into the office, and closed the door.

"The reason why we kept hiding from you and didn't invite you to join the team is not because you are not professional enough, nor because we don't treat you as a friend, but because you have Sheldon by your side," he explained immediately.

"What do you mean?!" Leonard asked in confusion.

He knew that Xiang Nan had turned against Sheldon, but what did that have to do with him?
"Leonard, if we tell you about this, Sheldon will know about this project soon," Xiang Nan explained, "and with his arrogant and self-reliant personality, once he knows about this project, he will definitely know about it. It's going to come in and steal the project, so we can't risk it."

Howard and Leslie 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 he's been in the limelight. You've been with him for so long, you should know him." Xiang Nan smiled, "When did he not put himself first? When he is cooperating with others, when is he willing to be subordinate to others?"

"Yeah, when you collaborated with him on the supersolid paper, he still insisted on putting his name first." Howard began to corroborate.

Hearing what they said, Leonard's aura suddenly weakened a lot.

"Then how are you so sure, just tell me, Sheldon will know." He still stubbornly said.

"Leonard, face the reality, no one here knows that you are Sheldon's slave." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "You don't tell him anything."

"What?" Hearing him say that, Leonard was instantly ashamed and angry.

He didn't think he was Sheldon's slave.Xiang Nan actually said that, it really hurt his self-esteem.

But when he saw Howard and Leslie shaking their heads, he was stunned on the spot.

"Why, Howard, Leslie, do you all think so too?" he said in disbelief.

"Leonard, you are indeed too good 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 his assistant. You have to help him remember when he has a bowel movement. That's not what a friend should do."

"Yeah, you listened to Sheldon so much that you hardly ever resisted him." Leslie also nodded, "You are his vassal, tied to him, and 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 simple person." He was stunned for a moment, then forced his defense, "Besides, have you all forgotten that he once saved my life, and he once saved me his career. Then I'm good to him, shouldn't it?"

Three years ago, when Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh first met, Leonard used to make rocket fuel in the apartment.As a result, the fuel started to detonate due to a miscalculation.Thanks to Sheldon's timely action, he threw the fuel can into the elevator, so that he would not be killed on the spot.

Plus, Leonard was once bewitched by the spy Joyce King and nearly told her the composition of rocket fuel.Fortunately, Sheldon shooed her away in time to save him from the military court.

"Leonard, stop deceiving yourself, okay?" Xiang Nan shook his head and said regretfully, "Yes, Sheldon saved your life and your career.

But without your care over the past few years, Sheldon would have starved to death several times, died of illness several times, not to mention any scientific research achievements. "

"Well." Howard nodded in agreement.

Sheldon's ability to take care of himself is very poor. Thanks to Leonard's care over the years, he has been alive and healthy.

"In this regard, you really don't owe him." Xiang Nan looked at Leonard and said, "And the reason you are so devoted to him is because Sheldon behaves like your mother."

……

"What?!" Leonard was startled, so frightened that his asthma returned.

He quickly took out the spray and sprayed it twice before he recovered.

"Please, your mother, Beverly Hofstadter, has written and published everything that happened to you since childhood. How long do you think you can hide it?!" Xiang Nan pouted.

"Oh, God!" Leonard groaned, holding his head, "how did you know?"

"Dr. Beverly Hofstadter is your mother?" Howard said in surprise, "Wow, you never mentioned that."

Xiang Nan sighed.

Leonard grew up in a loving family.

Since he was a child, his mother has used him as a test subject, constantly experimenting on him to verify her neurology and the latest theories in psychology.

His father didn't care about him either.Their only father-son activity was studying the remains of a 2000-year-old Etruscan boy.

And his older brothers and sisters are also better than him, which makes him have no place in the family.No one cared, no one cared, which made him feel quite lonely.

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 often borrowed it.

Because of such a cold growing environment, Leonard was particularly lacking in love, and it also made him form a pleasing personality.Blindly to please others, ignoring their own feelings.

This is the reason why Leonard has been dominated and manipulated by Sheldon for so many years and still does not resist.
