Sheldon, Doomed to Die Alone

"Of course, no problem."

Adam agreed without hesitation after hearing Paige's request.

After hanging up the phone, Adam fell into deep thought.

It's been almost seven years since Adam last saw Paige and Sheldon, since they went to college.

Although they are friends, Paige is not Sheldon.

So even though Paige was at Princeton University in neighboring New Jersey, Adam never went to see her.

Because it would remind Adam of Juno's smiling face every time...

However, Adam still had Paige's address and phone number, and had spoken to her a few times over the years, although most of the time he was complaining about Sheldon.

Now, Paige suddenly called him, asking him to come over and asking for his help. Although it was a bit strange, he certainly couldn't refuse.

Paige provides him with a lot of Wisdom Points every year.

On the other end of the phone.

Paige hung up the phone, a slightly wicked smile on her face, as her memories of the past few years flashed through her mind.

Seven years ago, she, like Sheldon, entered Princeton University at the age of 11, becoming the youngest college student.

Afterwards, with her super genius IQ surpassing Sheldon's, she chose mathematics, the jewel of the scientific world, as her research direction, and successfully obtained her doctorate at the age of 14, and was specially appointed as a research fellow at Princeton University.

Her mother stayed with her after the divorce.

Scientific research requires a great deal of effort, not to mention that after obtaining her doctorate, she set her sights on the Millennium Prize Problems.

Aside from discussing problems and exchanging ideas with Sheldon, who has a similar IQ and equally amazing mathematical talent, over the phone, she was almost completely focused on her work.

Her mother was only in her forties, and she couldn't bear such a depressing life. As Paige got older and devoted more and more energy to mathematical research, her mother's desire for a second spring became stronger and stronger.

Not long ago, her mother met a middle-aged man named David and fell completely and passionately in love with him.

The reason Paige's parents divorced was because Paige's mother focused too much on her Gifted daughter, Paige, which Paige father complained about as "giving her all his attention and not giving her any attention at all," leading to major conflicts and ultimately the divorce.

That's why Paige said back then that her family broke up because of her, which made her want to become an ordinary girl.

Paige's mother later divorced and followed Paige to Princeton to accompany her, where she stayed for seven years, demonstrating her love for Paige.

Now that she's with David, she's practically given up on Paige.

The contrast between the two only highlights the passion of this relationship.

Paige is not Sheldon; she possesses not only genius-level intelligence but also genius-level emotional intelligence. While she is happy about this, it's impossible for her not to feel a little lost seeing her mother, who has always been by her side, undergo such a significant change.

In addition, her research has recently hit a bottleneck, which has made her mood a bit off.

Having only one and a half friends, she began to harass Sheldon more and more frequently.

Sheldon was very impatient with this.

Why are you telling me this?

I've read the book, and Missy told me too, so I know what it means!

I have absolutely no interest in this kind of sordid, base human interaction.

Couldn't you use this time to think more about difficult math problems?

No wonder you've hit a roadblock; it turns out you're being controlled by these base desires. I suggest you watch some anime and play some games.

What? You're not interested?

Oh, boy!

Girls are really troublesome!

I thought only Missy was like this, but I didn't expect that you, whose IQ is close to mine, would be like this too!

That makes sense, though. There haven't been many outstanding female scientists in human history. Newton, Einstein, Planck were all men. Now I think I know why.

If you really can't resist the call of your body's instincts, I suggest you go find Adam.

Judging from my brother Georgie Jr.'s frequent complaints, Adam clearly has an unparalleled talent in this area.

Missy often showed great interest.

You're both girls, so you should be about the same.

Besides, Adam is in New York, right next to New Jersey, which is very close to you. You can go directly to him, which is much more effective than bothering me over the phone again and again.

Am I really not sure?

How many times do I have to say it? Of course I'm sure!

If next time it's not an academic question and it's always about these kinds of questions I'm not interested in, then I won't answer your call anymore.

Last time, some guy actually dared to argue with me about the plot holes in the Flash. He's just like you, focusing too much on these low-level desires and not even understanding the most basic plot.

If he spent more time reading comics like I do, how could such an embarrassing thing have happened?

Today is Comic Book Day! A new issue of the Flash came out, I'm going to buy it and enjoy it! That's all!

Then, Sheldon hung up the phone immediately.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Paige was seething with anger.

Girls naturally mature earlier than boys, let alone a super Gifted like her.

Sheldon was a handsome boy of similar age and intelligence to her, and several years ago, she had been intentionally or unintentionally discussing this topic with him.

Unfortunately, Sheldon was a complete baby and had absolutely no interest in this matter, completely mistaking Paige's girlish feelings for harassment.

Over the years, Sheldon grew increasingly disgusted with this harassment. If he could find friends of similar age and intelligence, he would have blacklisted Paige long ago.

In his view, science and trains are his passions, his mother and grandmother are his support, and otaku culture such as comics and games is his leisure activity.

With these, what else do we need?

After several years of probing, Paige also discovered that Sheldon seemed to be asexual; otherwise, even with delayed development, he shouldn't be like this.

If she knew Sheldon's future, she would understand everything.

In the original timeline, Sheldon and Amy became a couple when Amy was around twenty-eight years old. Amy, who was sexually frustrated, used various tricks to wear Sheldon down for five or six years before she finally gave in and agreed to offer him her body as Amy birthday present.

But even after they got married, their annual "soaking" in their married life became a joke among everyone.

If they weren't genuinely uninterested, how could they do this?

Penny keeps asking Sheldon what his sexual orientation is.

Is it a woman, a man, or some other strange thing?

When Sheldon solemnly announced that he would use himself to celebrate Amy's birthday, everyone was stunned, as if they had seen God.

His mother, who loved him the most and understood him the most, remarked on his wedding day that she never expected this day to come, as she thought her Shelly would be alone for the rest of her life.

That expression was anything but a joke.

That's really what she thought.

This is what Sheldon was like when he grew up, let alone the childlike Sheldon he is now.

He was genuinely annoyed by Paige's 'harassment'.

Paige finally gave up and remembered that half-friend...
