What Can I Use to Win You Over?
520 Apartment.
"What?!"
Just as Rachel was caught up in her self-delusional mindset of "wanting to try anything but doing anything else" due to her severe obsession with her doctor father, Joey and the others came up and gave her a rude awakening.
"Adam also invited my dad?"
"Yes."
Ross, now beaming with pride, shook his head and said, "He invited your father first."
"It seems we've all misunderstood Adam."
Monica laughed.
"Yes, Adam is still a man of principle."
Phoebe nodded and said, "If it were any other Playboy, he would have already had intimate relationships with us."
"What?"
Rachel looked over in surprise.
"Impossible!"
Monica quickly and guiltily denied it, saying, "I've always considered Adam a friend, and I know you liked him back then, Phoebe, so how could I possibly get close to him?"
"Come on."
Phoebe scoffed, "Even if he's your friend's ex-boyfriend, I don't believe you've never cheated on him."
"Without..."
Monica felt guilty and subconsciously glanced at Rachel.
Rachel happened to look over as well, exchanged a glance with Monica, and then guiltily looked away.
"Ha ha."
Phoebe, seeing this, understood immediately and clapped her hands, laughing, "I knew it! I'm laying my cards on the table too, Monica, remember Jason Hurley?"
"What?!"
Monica exclaimed in shock, "You and Jason did something indescribable? When?"
"Just hours after you broke up."
Phoebe chuckled.
"Wow, you're really something, Phoebe."
Rachel exclaimed in admiration.
That's enough.
Monica raised her hand to interrupt, "We're talking about Adam inviting Rachel, let's not talk about those old stories."
"What else is there to say?"
Ross was baffled. "Adam's invitation was just to buy a sailboat, and Rachel and Rachel's dad have experience and can help with the advice."
"If only things were that simple."
Monica rolled her eyes and complained.
Monica!
Rachel called out.
"OK".
Monica glanced at the time, stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "It's getting late. The boys should leave now. It's time for the girls to go to bed. Go, go, go!"
Ross's heart sank, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over him. When Monica rushed him to the door, he clung to it and demanded, "Why isn't this simple?"
"Nothing."
Monica wasn't sure what Rachel was thinking either, so she didn't voice her guess and gave a perfunctory reply before closing the door.
"Why? Why? Why?"
As soon as the boys left, Rachel couldn't stand it anymore. She kept looking at herself in the mirror, muttering, "Am I not pretty enough?"
"Of course you're beautiful!"
Monica and Phoebe gave an affirmative answer.
Rachel, who is only 22 years old, is truly youthful and beautiful beyond compare. It is no wonder that she was selected by People Magazine as the most beautiful woman in the world and was called the golden couple with a certain Pi.
"So Adam had a problem with his aesthetic sense?"
Rachel wondered, "Why else would he date my dad?"
"Perhaps Adam actually preferred the most heinous kind?"
Phoebe guessed, "You haven't seen Karen, her figure is amazing!"
Is it really that exaggerated?
Rachel looked down at her entire foot and said unhappily.
Let me put it this way.
Phoebe laughed and said, "Look at Monica, then look at yourself, and then if you two were to combine your bodies, you could barely compare to Karen in terms of figure."
"..."
Rachel glanced at Monica's curves—so much so that only her toes were visible when she looked down—far exceeding those of Tongji University's students, and asked incredulously, "Are you sure?"
"Oh, I'm sure."
Phoebe smiled and nodded, "If you don't believe me, ask Monica."
"Otherwise, how could she be called a devil's figure?"
Monica crossed her arms and said awkwardly and helplessly.
Even with your best friend, being stared at like that would make you feel a little uncomfortable.
"And there's an angel's face too."
Phoebe added, "Karen is no less capable than you, and she's the same age as Adam."
Rachel lay down on the sofa in frustration.
"Don't do that."
Monica comforted her, "This is just a momentary impulse. You'll probably feel better after a good night's sleep. After all, that's Adam! He's a good friend of ours, but we all despise his views on relationships, remember?"
"I know, I know."
Rachel used the same old tactic, verbally agreeing but her eyes and expression betrayed a completely different story, filled with resentment.
Monica gave a wry smile.
It is said that men have a desire to conquer, but as free women under the beacon of freedom, they are in no way inferior to men in this regard.
Rachel's current state clearly indicates that she's driven by a desire to conquer.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Adam arrived on time for breakfast and saw Rachel, dressed in black stockings and a black skirt, clearly dressed up, come out of the bedroom. He couldn't help but whistle and tease her.
Wow, what day is it today?
"OMG!"
Monica was making breakfast when she turned around and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
How could she not recognize Rachel's Lucky Battle Skirt?
Rachel, driven by her desire to conquer, is indeed not so easily given up.
"What day?"
As Rachel walked up to Adam, she deliberately or unintentionally showed off her curves while pretending to be clueless.
"You're dressed like this so Great Qing, don't you have a date?"
Adam joked.
Rachel's lips twitched, and she exchanged a glance with Monica.
Monica shrugged and spread her hands, as if to say, "Now you should give up, Adam obviously doesn't mean it."
"Uh-huh."
Rachel snorted and waved her hand lightly, saying, "There's no date. This is just my normal outfit. What, you think it looks good?"
"Certainly."
Adam still didn't realize what was happening.
His attitude has always been clear. Rachel and Monica had criticized him before, but who would have thought that Rachel would take a liking to him after just one night?
"You even made plans with my dad to buy a sailboat on Saturday?"
Rachel touched her Lucky Battle Skirt, smiled smugly, and said casually.
"Um."
Adam nodded. "Didn't we talk about it at dinner last night? I also want to buy a sailboat. Leonard is an expert in this area, so he can help me take a look."
"You can just contact me."
Rachel said, "I've been learning to sail since I was little with my dad. I can help you choose and teach you how to sail. You don't need to ask my dad; he's actually very busy."
"I know."
Adam shook his head and said, "But I made plans with Leonard. He said he's free next Saturday, so it'll be more fun if we all get together."
"What if my dad suddenly needs surgery?"
Rachel said irritably.
"Then let's postpone it."
Adam replied without hesitation, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry."
"..."
Rachel suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
She couldn't imagine how a man like Adam could pick up girls. Did he just rely on his looks?
Wasn't her posture and words obvious enough?
