This Place Is Unlivable

New Jersey.

The Hofstadter Family.

"A bold idea?"

Alfred was taken aback at first, but being a scientist with a doctorate, he immediately realized. "You mean drinking and singing? That won't work."

"Why?"

Adam laughed.

"Beverly doesn't drink alcohol at all because it damages the nervous system."

Alfred smiled wryly and said, "As for singing, do you think she can sing?"

Why not?

Adam cautioned, "Singing is all about skill level; there's no such thing as not being able to sing. How will you know you can't do it if you don't try? As for drinking, that's even simpler. Just tell her you want to do Neurobiology Experiment with her. Do you think she'd refuse?"

"Well."

Alfred was speechless.

Based on his understanding of Beverly, he figured Beverly probably wouldn't refuse to do Neurobiology Experiment.

Are you sure this will work?

Alfred still hesitated. "Does it work?"

"Trust me, it will definitely work."

Adam said with absolute certainty.

In the original timeline, Penny took Beverly to a bar for drinks. After drinking with Sheldon, she transformed into a Texas man, while Beverly, after a few sips of alcohol, instantly became a different person.

From meticulous to unrestrained.

Beverly wanted to transform into a werewolf and devour the handsome young man, showing none of the meticulousness and restraint she would have shown for the sake of procreation.

Later, he even hugged Sheldon and gave him a hard kiss. If Sheldon hadn't been completely unresponsive, given how well Beverly and Sheldon were compatible, Leonard might have actually called Sheldon's Dad."

This is drinking.

Singing has a similar effect.

Sheldon invited Beverly to sing Carla, which Beverly initially refused because it was something she and her husband Alford had never done before.

But when the two sang together, they were truly dancing and howling like ghosts, their endorphins (human secretions that produce pleasure) were practically exploding!

"Shall I give it a try?"

Alfred was somewhat tempted.

His life has been so hard all these years, how could it get any worse no matter what he does?

Of course not!

It will only get better and better every day.

"If it works well, we can expand it."

Adam, who was clearly very concerned about Leonard's family, continued to offer his advice, "I've read your paper. Putting Beverly aside, I think you probably don't agree with this frequency, right?"

Beverly and Alfred were both scientists, so they naturally discussed Beverly's theory that 'it is indescribable only for procreation' together.

To this end, both published papers, one from a neurobiological perspective and the other from an anthropological perspective.

As you can imagine, the two conclusions are completely opposite.

"Certainly."

Alfred was so moved he almost cried; these words truly touched his heart.

Is there anyone who understands Adam better than him?

No!

No wonder Leonard said Adam was the best friend of the century.

No, Adam is more useful than Hug Machine. I have to take him, no, I absolutely have to borrow him.

"Actually, the problem is very simple."

Adam laughed and said, "Since Beverly likes to treat everything as an experiment and understands the necessity of conforming to social customs, why don't you start from these two aspects to create the indescribable frequency you desire?"

For example, Valentine's Day goes without saying, right?

Shouldn't we reward ourselves for our birthdays?

Wedding anniversaries, Leonard's birthdays, and all sorts of special holidays.

You're an anthropologist, someone who studies relationships between people. If you wanted to, you could endure 365 days a year, though of course you couldn't, right?

Every month, on a few special holidays, Beverly and I will discuss the differences between Neurobiology Experiment on these days and on ordinary days.

That makes perfect sense!

The only variable is whether Alfred make it.

However, Beverly probably doesn't care about these things, since she has been waving and shouting "Yay!" herself since 1982.

As long as Alfred is satisfied and doesn't cheat on Leonard's parents with the restaurant waiter, then Leonard's parents' marriage can continue.

Because Beverly's assessment of their marriage was: perfect!

That's right!

It wasn't just a simple "okay" or "good enough," but a highly rated "perfect"!

Although Beverly looked down on Alfred, his forbearance was similar to Leonard's forbearance towards Sheldon in the future, which satisfied both Beverly and Sheldon.

They also vaguely knew that, apart from Leonard and his son, they couldn't find a better husband or roommate.

Therefore, unless something unexpected happens, they, who prefer homeostasis, are unwilling to make any changes.

"Ah!"

Alfred stared in disbelief, then cried out and hugged Adam tightly, sobbing, "Adam, you're so wonderful! My marriage has hope again!"

With his intelligence, once Adam pointed out the key point, there was nothing he couldn't figure out.

"What happened?"

Hearing the commotion, Leonard walked over and asked in surprise.

"Nothing."

Alfred was so excited that he couldn't stop crying tears of joy.

Adam had no choice but to let him hold him, and gave Leonard a perfunctory smile.

He can't exactly say he's instructing your father on how to get the happiness he deserves from your mother, can he?

Anthropologists are indeed not as rational as natural scientists; they are too emotional.

"Man."

When Beverly returned and saw the boy, she shook her head expressionlessly. "A boy!"

"We can take action now."

Adam nudged Alfred and whispered a reminder.

Let's get started! A thousand years is too long; let's seize the day.

"Oh oh!"

Alfred realized he had lost his composure, released Adam, lowered his head to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, exchanged a glance with Adam, nodded emphatically, and stood up to look at Beverly.

"Beverly, I want to do Neurobiology Experiment with you!"

"OK".

Beverly was taken aback, but when she heard that it was a neurobiological Anthropology Experiment rather than Neurobiology Experiment, she agreed without hesitation.

"Come with me."

A good start is half the battle. Seeing Beverly agree so easily, Alfred was invigorated and, with a very manly air, beckoned Beverly to their room.

"What exactly happened?"

Leonard looked completely bewildered.

He had never seen his father so spirited and confident.

Isn't he so handsome?

But is this really the same dad who fought with him for the Hug Machine?

"Cough cough."

Adam knew it was no longer appropriate to stay there any longer, so he coughed lightly and said, "Leonard, how about we go out for a walk?"

"OK."

Leonard suppressed his confusion and said happily, "Let's go to the Comic Book Store first and let them see what a real-life genius writer is like."

"No problem."

Adam got up, grabbed Leonard, and started walking outside.

Because with his keen hearing, he could faintly hear some sounds, which seemed to be the muffled sound of a ping-pong paddle hitting biological fatty tissue.

This place is truly unbearable to stay in...
