Back to School

1995.

Autumn has arrived.

My time at Columbia University Medical School has officially begun.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Knock knock knock.

"Chandler!"

Knock knock knock.

"Chandler!"

Knock knock knock!

"Chandler, wake up!"

Adam, dressed in running gear, knocked on Chandler's door with Sheldon's classic three-knock gesture.

"OMG!"

Chandler wailed inside, "Isn't today your first day of school? Why are you here? Please spare me!"

"Starting school and taking you running are not contradictory."

Adam chuckled, "Is Susie here? I'm coming in."

"She's here, don't come in."

Chandler shouted.

"Don't be silly."

Adam opened the door and walked in, smiling at Chandler who was lying on the bed, "If you could put your heart into it and imitate her voice, I might believe it a little."

"I don't want to run."

Chandler clutched the blanket tightly, looked up and roared at Adam.

"I know."

Adam said with a grin.

You know?

Chandler exclaimed, "You have no idea, otherwise why would you make me get up to run every day? God, it's only five o'clock now, I graduated so many years ago, and you still make me get up early to run?"

"Did you get up early to run when you were in school?"

Adam countered with a question.

"..."

Chandler paused, thinking, "What the hell is he doing? It's just a platitude."

What are you arguing about?

Joey rubbed her eyes and came over from next door, complaining, "Can't a person get any sleep this early in the morning?"

"Look, look! You've woken up Joey, are you satisfied now?"

Unable to win an argument with Adam, Chandler tried to build a united front.

"I was woken up by you."

Joey said frankly.

"Don't forget that you were the one who asked me to take you running in the first place."

Adam reminded him with a smile.

"Nonsense."

Chandler said bitterly, "When did I ask you to take me running? I just asked you to tell me..."

He couldn't continue, because the content was somewhat embarrassing.

How to stay up all night?

Upon hearing this, Joey suddenly woke up, pointed at Chandler diagonally, and nodded with pursed lips. "Huh? Adam's approach doesn't suit you. Listen to Joey, you need to eat more and fight more to become a real man."

"Yes, yes!"

Chandler's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "I'm not running anymore, I'm going to be like Joey!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Adam laughed and said, "Joey is just naturally gifted. If you eat more and fight more, you'll either become fat or skinny. It's useless. Besides, we've already agreed that you can't give up halfway."

As he spoke, he reached out and lifted Chandler up.

Wow!

Joey spread his hands in amazement and said, "Chandler, you should train with Adam. His strength is incredible. It makes me want to train with you guys."

"Then come on!"

Chandler complained.

"Hey! I only meant a little bit, just a tiny bit."

Joey's thumb and forefinger were almost touching, indicating that it really was only a tiny bit.

"Pack up and get ready to go."

Adam lifted and released Chandler repeatedly, juggling him on the bed with one hand.

After a few tries, Chandler lost all sleepiness and had no choice but to change into his running gear and go out with Adam.

"Taking Chandler out for a run again?"

Monica, who was opening the door in the hallway, couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.

"Yes, you can participate too."

Adam tempted him, "Otherwise, you probably won't even be able to outrun Chandler."

Are you kidding me?

Monica pointed at Chandler and said dismissively, "Him?"

When she took Chandler running, Chandler was able to escape by taxi halfway through the run. How could such a 'loser' be better than her?

She went from a child weighing just over 200 pounds to the beautiful woman with such a great figure today, thanks to strict dieting and crazy exercise.

It turns out that her room at home was filled with exercise equipment. Did she really think it was just for decoration?

"Hi!"

Chandler retorted sarcastically, "I'm right here. Are you going to point your finger at me and say that?"

"Him."

Adam affirmed, "I'm prepared to train him continuously. If you fall behind, you might not be able to keep up with him. So, do you want to train together?"

"OK".

Monica perked up immediately upon hearing this. "Wait a minute, I'll be right there."

With that, she ran back to her bedroom to change her clothes.

"From now on, if I need anything, I'll have Monica keep an eye on you."

Adam kindly reminded him.

"Oh, come on!"

Chandler wailed, "You're too ruthless! I really regret asking you for advice."

"Hehe."

Adam smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, "You think you really asked? Silly child, that's what I wanted you to ask. If you didn't ask, how could I get you to agree to accept my professional guidance and then use that to force you to run and exercise?"

The method is actually very simple: just reveal a little bit of Adam's own experience, and no man can resist being tempted and will naturally want to ask for the secret.

Just like the DVD with the bow tie that Qin Yumo left for Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou, it was obviously suspicious. Anyone who saw it would naturally be tempted to watch it immediately. Of course, the content was unverifiable because the data was lost...

As for why it was designed this way?

That story begins when Chandler reconciled with his father.

When Helena exclaimed that Chandler would definitely be a good father, Adam suddenly realized that Chandler might be a good father, but he wouldn't be a good father.

Because Chandler was in poor health, 'Gold' was too weak, and Monica had some issues, their chances of having children were too low, so they ended up adopting twins.

Monica desperately wanted to get pregnant and have their biological child.

Chandler even considered using someone else's "gold" to get closer to Monica, inviting what he considered the most handsome and outstanding male colleague over. The couple kept asking him the same private and embarrassing question, which scared the male colleague so much that he eventually dared not approach Chandler.

After this incident, although Chandler was very proactive, Monica gave up the idea of getting pregnant because she wanted a child with Chandler, not one with someone else.

Rather than doing that, it's better to just adopt.

Even though they later did adopt a pair of twins, Adam felt they still had some regrets.

A father may not necessarily be a dad, but a father can be a dad!

Or rather, the most perfect state is when the father and the father overlap.

Chandler, however, started smoking at the age of nine, did not exercise regularly, and had an irregular lifestyle, which unknowingly led to such a serious regret.

No one else knew at that moment, but Adam did.

As Chandler's good friend, Adam naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch such a thing happen.

This Chandler's curiosity about why Adam was so strong and his desire for Adam to teach him. After Adam agreed to listen to Adam's advice, Adam dragged the regretful Chandler along for a daily morning run.

Sigh, Adam is really going to great lengths for his good friend's future happiness.

But it was all worth it.

Thinking of this, Adam looked at Chandler and gave him a familiar smile.
