When in Doubt, Big Bang

"You have this kind of relationship with Iliad and Bianca too, right?"

When Alice heard Adam mention the Iliad, she said disdainfully, "You managed to win over all three beauties from Columbia University Medical School's Class of 1995. You're really something."

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

Adam laughed and said, "Iliad, Bianca, and I are all pure."

"To someone as pure as me?"

Alice scoffed.

"Hehe."

Adam smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I have some news for you. Two top students from Harvard Medical School will be coming to the Medical Center for residency training this year. They're both very capable, especially Meredith Grey. Be careful she doesn't snatch both of your wings."

"Grey?"

Alice's eyes narrowed. "That Grey?"

"Right."

Adam nodded.

Meredith's mother is a legendary figure in the medical field, an idol for female doctors, and everyone knows the name Grey.

Is she pretty?

Alice sat up slightly and looked at Adam.

Grey's name is so well-known, and the Medical Center was her main workplace before Grey moved to Boston, so she must have a lot of connections there.

Therefore, even though Alice didn't know that the Chief of Surgery at the Medical Center was Grey's good friend, she could understand why Meredith, a top student from Harvard Medical School, would choose to come to New York instead of interning at the famous hospitals in Boston.

United States value personal connections the most.

You can tell just by looking at how they treat recommendation letters more than exams.

This system is the same one that was phased out in the East Country more than a thousand years ago, with its system of recommending candidates for the civil service and the Nine-Rank System.

The system of recommending candidates for official positions based on filial piety and integrity involved nominations by famous figures, approval by influential figures, and direct appointment to official posts, with the potential to rise to high-ranking positions later on.

In the United States, letters of recommendation from celebrities and special admissions to prestigious universities are all it takes to build a network and reputation during college. After graduation, you can continue to rely on these connections, regardless of your grades. In fact, the worse your grades, the greater your achievements may be...

There's nothing new under the sun, as expected.

"She's beautiful, and her voice is especially magnetic."

Adam laughed and said, "Very alluring, and with a particularly open style."

"Is it your good friend again?"

Alice was speechless.

"Of course not."

Adam said seriously, "What kind of person do you take me for? Not just any woman can be my good friend."

That's the truth.

Even if someone like Meredith Grey, who loses all control after three drinks, is incredibly alluring, Adam wouldn't touch her.

I'm about to start my hospital internship, and this is a major United States hospital from the American TV Show World!

A sense of globalism makes medical workers in hospitals particularly dangerous.

If Alice weren't the kind of beauty who planned to conquer everything with her looks, but instead was shrewd and calculating, and even had a conservative approach to maintaining her image and keeping Steven and William on the hook...

William, too, became infatuated with Alice because of a strange connection, acting as if he couldn't live without her.

Adam would never touch Alice.

As Lu Joey Barney once said: Before dating a woman, you must first make sure that you have more men than she does, otherwise you'll be at a huge disadvantage.

The literal meaning is quite clear.

But hidden within this is a survival rule naturally learned by playboys: it's best to keep your distance from women who are even more promiscuous than you, or you might regret it later...

Alice looked at Adam for a while, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes, then lay back down, staring at the ceiling, slightly lost in thought. Clearly, she had taken Adam's words to heart.

Steven and William, one a backup plan and the other a sycophant, she doesn't want to give up either of them, and if Meredith is really as Adam said, he is indeed a real threat to her.

"Don't think too much, just enjoy the moment."

Adam laughed.

"Come on."

Alice shoved Adam away as he started fidgeting again, stood up abruptly, and while dressing, complained, "That's enough for tonight. I don't want to go back and do a few more hours of yoga. I don't have the time."

"Just ignore William for a week."

Adam reached out and pulled her back. "What you can't have is always the most alluring."

"Then what are you?"

Alice, naturally, couldn't resist Adam's advances and was pulled away, scoffing.

"I can never have it."

Adam laughed.

"You pervert!"

Alice laughed and scolded.

An hour later.

Alice forced herself to leave as always. Except for the first time when she reasoned with Adam and talked all night, she never dared to stay overnight.

The next day.

"What's wrong?"

Adam was urgently summoned by Chandler with a phone call.

Ross and Joey were also there.

"Wedding vows, how should I write my wedding vows?"

Chandler, holding a piece of paper and a pen, said in a dilemma, "Monica writes like a rocket, while I can't write a single word. She must love me more than I love her!"

"Don't be nervous, take your time."

Adam comforted him, saying, "We'll help you think of it."

As the best man, he takes charge of anything the groom can't handle.

Glory and responsibility are indeed relative.

"Aren't you nervous?"

Chandler joked, "Monica suddenly yells at me every day, 'Do you know we're getting married in four weeks? Four weeks, baby! Four weeks!' And as time goes on, her voice gets louder and louder, and she gets more and more excited. If she finds out I can't write a single word of wedding vows, God knows what will happen."

"This is Monica."

Ross, the brother-in-law, shrugged and said, "She started planning her wedding when she was young. I remember telling you this more than once. It was you who insisted on dating and marrying her."

"Thank you for reminding me."

Chandler scoffed.

"You're welcome..."

Ross wanted to try some witty banter, but when he met Chandler's fiery gaze, he could only awkwardly mimic zipping up his pants.

"Adam, you're a writer and the best man, it's all your job."

Joey's mind was blank, and he couldn't help but shift the blame.

"Yes."

Ross echoed.

Chandler couldn't help but look at Adam expectantly.

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

He's just a novelist, what does he know about wedding vows?

Lord of the Mysteries does have a lot of classic lines, but those were written by Cuttlefish. Adam, who was a nobody in his previous life, could never write such sweet and romantic lines.

But now he really has to step forward.

Fortunately, he loved watching the Big Bang Theory the Big Bang Theory in his previous life and was very familiar with everything about it, so he quickly came up with an idea.

Whether it works or not, let's deal with it first.

He then quoted a line from the movie Spider-Man that Sheldon used to deal with an angry Amy.

"When I look into your eyes and you look back at me with such affection, everything seems to become special."

Because I feel I've become stronger, but also weaker.

I felt both excited and terrified.

The truth is, I don't know how I really feel.

But I know what kind of man I want to be...
