The Choice of a Real Man

MacLaren's Pub.

"Distorted logic and heresy!"

Faced with Barney's persistent wickedness, Adam said calmly, "If two people who love each other get married need to rely on this kind of thing to enhance their wedding night, it means their love has already run into problems. What's the point of getting married then? They might as well cancel it."

"Well."

Lily, lost in her fantasy with a bewitching gaze, was suddenly jolted back to reality as if doused with a bucket of ice water. Embarrassed, she glared at Barney, then exclaimed in annoyance, "Barney!"

"What?"

Barney looked completely innocent. "What does this have to do with the relationship between the two of you? It's just a fun toy. Don't tell me you've never used anything like this before?"

"No."

Ted and Marshall shook their heads.

"No!"

Lily hurriedly denied it, but her shifty eyes betrayed something.

When she got married in the future, her best friend Robin gave her a shocking wedding gift, which was given in front of everyone, including her mother, grandmother, aunt, sisters, and even her niece. She was extremely embarrassed.

But afterwards, when her best friend Robin wanted to take back the awkward gift, the two of them initially tried to find various reasons to get their hands on it, but in the end Lily just snatched it away.

It's highly unlikely that she's never had anything like this to liven things up.

"Unnecessary."

Adam said this with a straight face.

Although the image of Heather dressed as Wonder Woman flashed through his mind when this question was mentioned, it was completely different from what Barney was talking about.

Does Adam, whom he's showing off, really need all this fancy stuff?

"Hehe!"

Barney chuckled, his expression one of utter disbelief. "Come on~"

Adam ignored him and avoided the topic, but he became even more wary of Barney's ability to argue unreasonably.

Barney's ability to spout a set of fallacies and heresies in such a short time is truly a gift.

The reason it's considered fallacies and heresies rather than nonsense is because, at first glance, his arguments actually make some sense.

Otherwise, Lily wouldn't have been so easily swayed, and her eyes wouldn't have looked so bewitching.

Such talent is so potent that one could easily be misled if one isn't careful.

Marshall and his two companions were all high achievers, and none of them were dull-witted. Seeing this, they naturally cooperated with Adam and completely ignored Barney's attempts to change the subject, instead chatting about interesting things from the past.

Barney tried several times without success, and finally gave up with a sullen face, getting up to go pick up girls.

For him, who aspires to be the best womanizer ever, a day without picking up girls makes him feel uncomfortable, and a week without a new approach is considered decadent and unambitious.

I have to say, the atmosphere in a bar is definitely better than in a coffee shop.

After all, one is to refresh the mind, and the other is to "boost energy".

Alcohol is a matchmaker for lust.

In fact, Barney and his two companions had gone to the coffee shop to try it out, but the three grown men sat there staring at each other, finding it all rather boring, and simply left.

Chandler and his friends used to enjoy going to the bar downstairs. When it was converted into a coffee shop, they kept saying, "I'll never go there again." But their later change of heart was more out of helplessness.

Too lazy to go anywhere else, I'll just make do.

The next day.

Adam approached Rachel, the chief bridesmaid, to secretly inquire about the bride's bachelorette night.

Why are you asking this?

Rachel looked at Adam with extreme suspicion. "Is that something you should be asking?"

"..."

Adam's lips twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Why can't we ask? As the organizers of the bride and groom's bachelor party, shouldn't we communicate and have some understanding?"

Do you need it?

Rachel was a little confused.

This wasn't her first time being a bridesmaid, but being Mindy's bridesmaid before was a complete slap on the wrist. She wasn't the lead bridesmaid and wasn't well-liked by the bride, so she didn't really have much experience.

"Of course we need it."

Seeing this, Adam understood and smiled slightly, "Rachel, do you know about nuclear peace?"

"Ha?"

Rachel was even more confused.

As a naive and innocent girl, capable of doing things like "changing her major because parking is difficult in the teaching building," it would be a joke to say she's interested in studying.

United States are generally not interested in history, especially when it comes to foreign history.

They don't care at all.

Rachel can't even distinguish between World War I and World War II.

"... both sides must ensure that they can destroy the other, so that neither dares to make a move."

Adam explained simply, "Like us, as the best man and maid of honor, our job is to ensure the wedding goes smoothly, not to seek out excitement for the sake of excitement. I'm not going to find dancers for Chandler, so I hope you won't do that either."

"Why?"

Rachel said somewhat discontentedly, "We're just asking them to dance and relax, we're not doing anything else, what's the problem?"

"What's there to relax about?"

Adam quipped, "Won't the two of them be happy in their marriage? Do you want a writhing body sitting on your future husband's lap? I know Chandler definitely doesn't want Monica using her teeth to loosen a dancer's pants."

"OK, OK."

Rachel raised her hands in surrender, looking at Adam in astonishment.

"What's wrong?"

Adam was puzzled.

"If Ross had said this, I would have thought it would be normal, but I never expected that it would be you who said it."

Rachel exclaimed in surprise, "You, a Playboy, are actually so conservative at heart?"

"Isn't it better to be conservative?"

Adam laughed and said, "This is Chandler and Monica's wedding, why are they being so open about it?"

"Cut!"

Rachel suddenly realized what she meant and said disdainfully, "I think you're just being hypocritical. You're allowed to go out and have fun, but your girlfriend or wife isn't allowed to do the same, right?"

"We're talking about Chandler and Monica's wedding, why are you bringing this up?"

Adam smiled noncommittally and said, "A simple bachelor party, no exciting dates or dancers, is that settled?"

"Okay, I understand."

Rachel rolled her eyes at Adam but didn't continue attacking Adam.

In her mind, all rich people are like this, let alone Adam, who is so young and handsome and has plenty of capital to play with. Being strict with oneself and lenient with others is basic practice.

"Hi."

Just then, Joey walked in with a big smile, waving to everyone she saw.

"What's wrong with you? Did something good happen?"

Adam laughed.

"Have a look!"

After Joey sat down, she lowered her body, reached out and pulled down her pants, revealing her signature style underwear, which was clearly women's.

Adam and Rachel were stunned.

"Phoebe is right, only a real man would dare to dress like that!"

Joey pursed her lips and said proudly, "Silk underwear feels really comfortable, completely incomparable to men's underwear, and there are many different styles, such as bikinis, French cuts, and thongs, and the materials include cotton, silk, and lace."

"You know a lot."

Adam suppressed a laugh and said, "Looks like someone has done their homework very well."

"Of course..."

Just as Joey was about to continue his long-winded speech, he was interrupted by an angry scream.

"Joey Tribiany!"

"What's wrong?"

Joey looked at Rachel, puzzled.

Rachel gritted her teeth and roared, "You're wearing mine!"

Adam: "..."
