Adam on the Fifth Level

Adam, who had made the phone call, fell into reminiscence.

My breakup with Max happened two years ago.

The reason for the breakup was very cliché.

Max wanted to go further, but Adam, after recognizing himself again through Heather, had no such intention.

That's just how feelings are sometimes.

If you don't move forward, you fall behind.

Seeing Adam's resolute attitude, Max decided to withdraw as well.

Adam did not try to stop him.

Because he had no reason to try to keep him.

There was no intention to persuade them to stay.

The theory of being more than friends but less than lovers ultimately cannot withstand the erosion of time.

The longer this goes on, the more likely this theory is to collapse.

They're either tired of it or they've fallen for it.

Love can blossom over time; it's not just a saying.

MAX, who was such a carefree female siji, gradually lost her carefree attitude after spending more than a year with Adam.

The years that Adam and Heather spent together are proof of this.

Therefore, knowing when to break up is an essential skill for a good jerk.

Of course, after breaking up with Max for so long, Adam couldn't possibly be alone in an empty house.

That's not United States at all.

Besides visiting Heather in Texas every month, Adam still had other people to talk to.

Ten minutes later.

The apartment doorbell rang.

Adam peeked through the peephole, his eyes were flashed as always, and he immediately opened the door.

In Europe and America, there was originally a concept of blue-blooded aristocracy.

In the past, nobles would proudly roll up their sleeves to show off the clearly visible blue veins on their snow-white forearms, which they called blue blood.

Because they did not engage in physical labor, their skin was as white as snow, which allowed nobles to demonstrate that they were fundamentally different from the dark-skinned "laborers".

Later on...

With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, workers were driven to factories, working day and night, never seeing the sun, and their skin turned white.

It was only then that the nobles began to regard a wheat-colored complexion as beautiful, because they had the money and leisure to go out and sunbathe to get a wheat-colored complexion, still in order to distinguish themselves from the common people.

Adam wouldn't be so pretentious; he's always liked white.

His eyes, as white as jade, were especially captivating to him.

Because the culture of the Eastern East Country in his previous life constantly influenced him. For example, the martial arts novels he read when he was a child, with their jade beauties, jade maidens, jade arms, and the like, inspired endless imagination.

The person who arrived was strikingly fair-skinned.

If it's not Alice, then who is it!

Neither of them spoke. After closing the door with their feet, the specially designed dim lighting began to flicker with a unique rhythm.

The night is so beautiful.

An hour later.

"Has the assigned hospital been decided?"

Adam said casually.

"Steven said he'd taken care of it for me, also at the Medical Center's surgery department."

Alice said languidly.

"He's so good to you."

Adam laughed and asked, "Where's your real boyfriend, William?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Alice frowned and said, "William is not my boyfriend, we are not officially in a relationship."

"He doesn't think so."

Adam smirked. "It's obvious he's very pleased with himself for winning the competition against Steven."

"No matter how smug you are, can you be more smug than me?"

Alice was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"Hehe."

Adam smiled smugly.

During their four years in medical school, Adam, Steven, and William, as competitors, all had some unsavory dealings with each other.

William, in particular, harbored resentment towards Adam because of Heather and that trip to Las Vegas.

Adam's intuition is very sharp, and it's easy to see that the relationship between the two is quite obvious.

Alice is brilliant; she managed to recruit Steven and William as her allies.

Both of them fell in love with her at first sight.

William is handsome, Steven is rich, and they are both very attractive to her.

Although she knew that Steven would be of greater help to her, she was still young and valued appearance more, so she secretly became closer to William.

However, for Steven's sake, she resolutely refused to go public with William's relationship.

William was furious, but Alice had directly confessed to him that she had gotten the job through connections, so he couldn't say much and could only continue their secret relationship in silence.

Over time, he got used to it and began to appreciate the benefits of this clandestine relationship.

Stimulate!

Whenever he stood next to Steven, he felt a surge of superiority.

Mock up!

What good is it if you have a lot of money?

Alice chose me!

The same applies to the way you look at Adam.

He thought Adam had terrible taste, hanging out with Iliad and Bianca all the time, and even if they were all together, they couldn't compare to Alice's long legs.

When he was with Alice, he often made such remarks about Steven and Adam, partly to praise Alice and partly to vent his own pride.

Zhou Shuren said, "Everyone is talked about behind their back, and everyone talks about others behind their back!"

Shuren Zhou said: Privacy succumbs to deeper privacy!

Adam was fully aware of this.

Shortly after breaking up with Max, Adam and William had an argument, and Adam chose to reason with Alice.

Unsurprisingly, Alice and Adam are quite reasonable.

The reason is simple.

Adam is handsome, rich, and physically fit; he's practically a mutated and evolved version of Steven and William.

If Adam hadn't clearly stated that he wasn't serious about the relationship and that it was just a mutual support friendship, she would have dumped Steven and William immediately.

Ren Shuzhou said: Women don't love men who aren't a little bad.

Adam, a blatantly scummy man, makes her, who is equally scummy but more subtle about it, want to break off the relationship every time. But every time Adam calls, she can't help but rush over immediately.

Then, with their relationship becoming even more secretive, they would often talk about the past of the unknown audience on the first level, Steven on the second level, William on the third level, and Alice on the fourth level.

Of course, it was mainly Adam, who was on the fifth floor, who took the initiative to lead her to say it.

Therefore, Adam completely understood William's mindset.

Whenever William gave him a smug yet reserved smile, Adam would always smile without saying a word, which reduced their conflicts and eased their relationship considerably.

"William has also made his decision. He's at the Medical Center, but he's chosen internal medicine."

Alice couldn't do anything about Adam, but she still instinctively leaned closer to him and, going along with Adam's personality, took the initiative to tell him the gossip that Adam liked to hear the most.

"Iliad also chose internal medicine."

Adam laughed.

Although residency training still involves rotations in various departments, the general direction has been set.

This broad direction is internal medicine and surgery.

Only then, based on their own preferences and abilities, as well as the needs of the hospital, will they further specialize, such as Adam preparing to specialize in Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Juno preparing to specialize in Neurosurgery.

Alice, a shrewd and capable woman, had already planned to go into ophthalmology.

Although ophthalmology is not well-known and is at the bottom of the medical hierarchy, only slightly better than dentistry, it is a very lucrative but relatively easy department, just like dentistry.

This is perfect for Alice, who wants to make money early and live an upper-class life but doesn't want to work too hard.

The competition in surgery is much fiercer than in internal medicine. Iliad may seem competitive, but she is actually quite timid. So, after four years of medical school, she realized her true nature and chose internal medicine.

The quiet Bianca, on the other hand, chose surgery.

She had originally planned to return to her hometown of Chicago to complete her residency training after graduation, but Adam persuaded her to stay because he finally remembered who Bianca was.

The cancer-stricken female doctor in the American TV series Shameless who was abused by the old bastard Frank.

Now that he recognized her and they were quite close, Adam naturally wouldn't let her go down the same path again.
