Professor Cooper and Pain-Immunity Girl
Medical Center.
After Megan agreed, Adam called Sheldon.
"I won't do it!"
Sheldon refused without hesitation on the other end of the phone.
Megan's eyes darkened involuntarily.
Megan's adoptive parents breathed a sigh of relief, but also became somewhat anxious.
Despite trusting Adam and the benefits Adam described for Megan in befriending this Sheldon.
But it's impossible for them not to have any worries about their six-year-old daughter making friends with an eighteen-year-old boy.
Seeing Sheldon's decisive refusal, they clearly ruled out the possibility that Sheldon was some kind of psychopath.
Having eliminated their biggest worry, they began to have high hopes that their friend Sheldon could bring about a dramatic change in their daughter Megan.
Pain-Immunity Syndrome is incurable; it can only be prevented through self-prevention.
Given her daughter Megan's past rough play, it would be very difficult for her to prevent it on her own.
In this context, the prospect Adam describes appears even more dreamlike and beautiful.
Don't rush to refuse.
Adam raised his hand to Megan's family, gave them a reassuring look, and smiled as he said to Sheldon on the other end of the phone, "If I remember correctly, it's Wednesday. You should be at the Comic Book Store buying new comics, right?"
"Certainly!"
On the other end of the phone, Sheldon replied matter-of-factly, "Everyone knows Wednesday night is new comic book day. If I'm not at the Comic Book Store, where am I?"
Are there any new updates for X-Men?
Adam laughed.
"Have!"
On the other end of the phone, Sheldon said one word and then stopped, "Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you."
"If I remember correctly, someone was Chewing Man?"
Adam continued his manipulative tactics on Sheldon: "Did he also overcome his fears and become a superhero through the X-Men comics?"
"That person is me!"
Sheldon declared without hesitation, "I am Chewing Man!"
"Um."
Adam smirked. "I also know someone's idol is Professor X? What would Professor X do when faced with a child who has just awakened superpowers?"
"He will find them, take them in, teach them to control their superpowers, and make them qualified X-Men."
Sheldon's voice became hesitant.
"Now there is a little girl who has awakened the Pain-Immunity Superpower, but she cannot freely control this superpower, so she gets hurt every time."
Adam laughed and said, "What would Professor X do? What would Chewing Man, who inherited Professor X's ideas, do?"
"... He will help this little girl."
Sheldon's voice was much lower.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Adam played with flavor.
"Y~e~s..."
Sheldon paused, then replied listlessly.
How could he refute himself?
"Alright, Chewing Man, come and say hello to Pain-Immunity Girl."
Adam remotely directed the operation.
"Hello, I'm Chewing Man Sheldon Cooper."
On the other end of the phone, Sheldon greeted them helplessly.
"Hello, I am Megan Clifford Pain-Immunity Girl."
Megan glanced at her adoptive parents, then at Adam, and greeted Sheldon generously, "From now on, we're teammates. Let's protect the weak and save the world together!"
"No, no, no!"
On the other end of the phone, Sheldon objected. "We're not teammates. You're my superpowered student. You should address me as Professor Cooper!"
"Sheldon earned his first doctorate at the age of 15 and is currently pursuing his second doctorate. Like Professor X in X-Men, he is very knowledgeable and intelligent."
Adam reassured him, "You can call him Professor Cooper, that's fine too."
"Yes, yes!"
Megan's adoptive parents were beaming with joy and quickly joined in to comfort Megan.
If there was even a sliver of worry before, they were now almost completely relieved.
The boy on the other end of the phone, Sheldon Cooper, was clearly just a child; his mental age was probably unknown, even compared to his daughter Megan.
He is a super genius, and he has a great influence on his daughter's upbringing, but they usually only communicate by phone and letter.
These friends were so willing to accept it on behalf of their daughter Megan.
"Oh well."
Megan pouted and called out in a clear, crisp voice, "Professor Cooper."
I treated you as a teammate, but you wanted to be my professor!
That's a bit much.
No matter how sensible Megan is, she is still just a six-year-old girl, and she is still a little resentful of the older boy Sheldon.
"Very good, Pain-Immunity Girl."
Sheldon seemed to have found a sense of connection, and his tone became much cheerfuler. "Professor Cooper will help you take control of your abilities from now on."
"I have an idea."
Adam chuckled and interjected, "Professor Cooper, I'll send you all the information and precautions about Pain-Immunity Syndrome later. Then you can create a daily schedule for Pain-Immunity Girl and draft a supervision agreement. How about you be the supervisor?"
"Develop a daily schedule and draft a supervision agreement?"
On the other end of the phone, Sheldon exclaimed with delight, "I'll handle it all?"
"If you don't want to, I can..."
Adam joked.
"No! I can!"
Sheldon shouted, "I love drafting documents and supervising others! You're not allowed to take my place!"
"I don't have to steal it."
Adam winked at Megan while teasing Sheldon on the other end of the phone. "But I need to see how it goes. You know, if the Pain-Immunity Superpower gets out of control, it will be a disaster for Megan."
I must see the effectiveness and feasibility of this daily schedule and supervision agreement.
Don't just focus on including clauses that benefit you; otherwise, you're not qualified to draft this agreement, nor do you deserve to be called Professor Cooper by Megan.
"Oh~"
Sheldon wailed, "Not even a little bit? I drafted the agreement for free, supervised it for free, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to have some fun!"
"Then let's just have a little bit."
Adam knocked on Sheldon and immediately handed him a carrot.
"Very good!"
The carrot and stick strategy is indeed the preferred choice throughout history and across the world; the effect couldn't be better, Sheldon immediately cheered.
Adam gave Sheldon a few more instructions, then handed the phone to Megan so she could speak with Sheldon.
"Dr. Duncan, what was that favorable clause that pleased Professor Cooper?"
Although he already knew that Sheldon was still mentally a child, Megan's father still couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe."
Adam smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just some boring and childish rules, like you have to respect him, not to make fun of him, and to laugh along when he tells jokes."
"I see."
Megan's parents couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"There is no cure for Megan's Pain-Immunity Syndrome. Only someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Sheldon can cure Megan to the greatest extent and give Megan the best self-protection awareness."
Adam laughed and said, "But Sheldon isn't with Megan after all, so at the beginning, we'll have to trouble you to cooperate with Sheldon and strictly supervise Megan to follow the daily schedule that Sheldon set for her until Megan has completely developed good self-protection habits."
Believe me, Sheldon is the best at creating daily schedules and motivating people.
"We will."
Megan's adoptive parents nodded repeatedly, assuring her, "We believe you, Dr. Duncan."
The three of them watched Megan chatting happily with Sheldon, their voices ringing out in a childlike way, and they all smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm a genius for curing Pain-Immunity Syndrome obsessive-compulsive disorder!"
Adam thought to himself with smug satisfaction.
