Quoting Yourself

MacLaren's Pub.

"Oh~"

Barney narrowed his eyes. "Of course I ran into him."

Before Lily could ask any further questions, he added, "Since we're all friends, why don't we invite him over for a chat?"

"This."

Marshall hesitated and said, "He's very busy."

"Are you this busy?"

Barney urged, "Is it even difficult to meet up with friends?"

"I'll make a call."

Lily stood up and said enthusiastically, "Barney is right. We haven't seen him in a long time either. It would be good for us to get together."

"Nice~"

Barney smiled smugly.

He was just wondering how to get into Chandler's wedding.

If he initially chose to order from a tailor shop simply because he was in the mood, he was just indulging in the habit of crashing bachelor parties and weddings to have fun and pick up girls—something he could choose to do or not.

After learning that the groom was Joey's best roommate and brother, he was eager to join the party.

The relationship between Adam, Marshall, and the other two was a pleasant surprise for him.

Ten minutes later.

Adam went to the MacLaren's Pub.

They're all friends. We don't contact each other often, but if someone specifically invites us, we'll definitely come.

Marshall and Lily are also Adam's very good friends.

"Adam, let me introduce you."

Lily said enthusiastically, "This is Barney Stinson, our friend, Barney, and this is Adam Duncan."

"What a coincidence!"

Barney laughed.

"Yes."

After Adam sat down, he looked around. Of the five members of the How I Met Your Mother group, only Robin was missing.

The group chatted for a while, catching up on their recent situations.

Barney couldn't help but say, "We'll all be good friends from now on, and friends of friends are friends too. Adam, why don't you invite us to Chandler's wedding?"

"Hehe."

Adam laughed and said, "That's not right. According to your logic, everyone in the world is a friend. Does that mean Chandler is going to invite everyone to his wedding?"

"What?"

Barney was momentarily stunned.

"Haven't you heard of the Six Degrees of Separation Theory?"

Adam explained, "In 1967, United States social psychologist Milgram proposed that, simply put, in interpersonal communication, any two strangers can establish a connection through the relatives and friends of their relatives and friends, and it can be achieved through a maximum of five relatives and friends."

Lily proudly introduced, "Adam is not only about to become a doctor, but he also has double bachelor's degrees in biology and psychology. Barney, you always have so many theories, all labeled as science. Now that you've encountered real science, you're dumbfounded, aren't you?"

"..."

Barney's lips twitched.

Although he graduated from MIT, this MIT is The Magician's Institute of Teaneck, a sister school of the Magician's Institute of Teaneck college, not the actual MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The various scientific theories he spouts are all quotes from Lu Xun, which are Zhou Shuren quoting, and he is quoting his own words.

This kind of stunt has been done by many people, even by genuine scholars...

Barney is a prime example of this.

But when it comes to real scientific theories, he falls short.

He only invented all sorts of scientific theories and tricks to pick up girls. He likes to do 'biological and neurological scientific experiments'. He doesn't know a damn thing about science.

"Barney, I know you like to play."

Adam laughed and said, "I also like to play, but there are appropriate times to play. If playing affects a wedding, then it's not playing, it's doing something wrong."

There's a saying in the East Country: "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage." That's the idea.

So, forget about Chandler's wedding and bachelor party; I won't allow anyone to ruin this perfect match.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Lily slapped Barney several times. "You actually tried to ruin someone's wedding!!!"

"I don't!"

Barney waved his hand to block Lily's attack, and stubbornly said, "I just wanted to participate and have a deeper conversation with the bridesmaids. I never intended to ruin the wedding."

"Yeah?"

Adam sneered.

Barney was one of his favorite TV characters in his previous life, the real-life prototype of Lu Xiaobu. His sassy antics were something that Asia talked about with great interest in Adam previous life.

The games Lu Xiaobu played were essentially the censored and weakened versions of himself. Lu Xiaobu's adoptive father, the very impressive Dumas, was probably Barney's uncensored and weakened side.

Dumas plus Lu Xiaobu, isn't that exactly Barney Stinson?

After traveling to this world and actually meeting Barney, he admired him, but at the same time, he also became more wary.

Lu Xiaobu dragged Zhang Wei to a bachelor party, which directly caused Zhang Wei to miss his wedding and his fiancée to run off with someone else.

In the future, Zhang Wei would often secretly cry while looking at the photo of his ex-fiancée, Xiao Li, in his wallet when no one was around.

It looks funny, but how many people can appreciate the bitterness behind it?

Imagine if this hadn't happened, Zhang Wei wouldn't have "unfortunately fallen down the stairs and become paralyzed on one side," nor would he have "traveled back in time to lead the farm in technological innovation, exceeding the targets and even receiving praise." He would have obediently gone to the wedding.

Without that waiting, his fiancée might not have had the courage to elope with her ex-boyfriend.

After all, the wedding had already taken place, and running away from the wedding in front of so many relatives and friends definitely required immense courage. It was probably this long wait that gave her ex-boyfriend the courage, and then she also mustered the courage.

If none of this had happened, Zhang Wei would already be married.

Of course, Xiao Li probably still had feelings for her ex-boyfriend, but Zhang Wei knew this perfectly well. However, he just liked Xiao Li, so it didn't matter. Everyone has a past, right?

Moreover, given Zhang Wei's personality, it's entirely possible that feelings could develop over time after marriage. Their marriage might not necessarily be unhappy; perhaps Zhang Wei will even be the one playing the role of the ultimate son-in-law...

But all of this was ruined by a bachelor party.

Did Lu Xiaobu ever care?

Not at all!

From beginning to end, he just found it funny and often used it to tease Zhang Wei.

If the censored and censored version of Lu Xiaobu is like this, then the original United States version of Barney is even worse.

What would happen if it were Barney instead?

He might first take Zhang Wei to a bachelor party, causing Zhang Wei's fiancée to run away from the wedding, and then turn around and start dating Zhang Wei's ex-fiancée...

That's right!

Don't doubt it!

Barney is really capable of doing this!

When Adam actually met Barney like this, and his perspective shifted away from Barney, and Barney also had designs on Chandler's wedding, how could he not be wary?

"Of course, I swear."

Barney immediately raised his hand and swore.

"Friends can joke around, but there are some things that should never be joked about."

Adam looked at him intently.

At first, Barney looked at Adam with 'selfless heart', but faced with Adam's sharp gaze, Barney gradually couldn't take it and took the initiative to look away.

"OK, OK."

Barney raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I give up."
