You Haven't Dated Before, Have You?
night.
Medical Center Restaurant.
"Adam, how are you so amazing?"
Cristina could no longer contain herself and asked with great confusion, "Meredith and I just teamed up to go to the library to look up the cause of the illness, and you've already found it? How did you do that?"
"I flipped through the book too."
Adam pointed to his temple. "I was lucky to find it."
"You mean you've memorized it all?"
Cristina asked incredulously, "All of them?"
"Of course not."
Adam shook his head.
"Phew, I knew it."
Cristina breathed a sigh of relief.
She was also a genius, earning two doctoral degrees at a young age, but she lacked Photographic Memory; her memory relied entirely on understanding and hard work.
Medical books are as vast as the ocean; memorizing common cases and treatment methods is sufficient.
Those who are more knowledgeable have seen more cases, remember the general content, and can find and apply what they encounter in books when they have an impression of it. That is excellence.
However, remembering a massive amount of information, understanding it, being able to think of it immediately when encountering a problem, and integrating and applying it together is something that not every genius can do.
That awesome Dr. House from next door in New Jersey is just that kind of person, which is why he was able to become the head of the diagnostic department, leading three elite doctors who are experts in all fields, specializing in solving difficult and complicated diseases.
He has almost all medical knowledge in his brain. He can judge what disease a patient is likely to have based on a patient's inconspicuous movement that other doctors cannot detect.
With his extensive medical knowledge and practical experience, he thought of everything he could think of.
You're on the first floor, but he might be on the fifth.
The system of specialized in-depth study in modern medicine seemed to exist outside of him.
He is almost an all-rounder in all subjects.
That's why he's so incredibly awesome.
After reviewing Dr. House's resume following the surgery, Adam became even more convinced that he was the absolute protagonist of some movie, TV show, or novel.
Because such an amazing person simply cannot exist in reality.
Cristina was ambitious, and how could she not know about a big shot like Dr. House? When she heard Adam flipping through the book in his mind, she subconsciously made the connection. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Adam shake his head.
If Adam truly possessed Dr. House's talent, then no matter how confident she was, she could only look up to him from afar. What was the point of competing with Adam?
Let's just follow Adam and shout "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
Adam understood Cristina's mindset well, so he simply omitted the second half of her sentence, "I just memorized all the books I've read, and it just so happens that I've read a lot of books."
Adam seriously doubts that he would lose many friends if he told the truth.
"You're really lucky."
Cristina said enviously, "This kind of opportunity is so rare."
"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing for you."
Adam laughed.
"So that's a good thing?"
Cristina rolled her eyes and said, "Tell me about it, so I can learn something new."
"It's very simple. If you two had found the cause of the illness instead of me, who would have performed the surgery? There are limited spaces in the Operating Room, Dr. Shepherd can't let both of you go in."
Adam cautioned, "Who goes and who doesn't will definitely affect your sisterly relationship."
Meredith said she wasn't going.
Cristina retorted, "That means there's no need to choose at all."
"Hehe."
Adam smiled.
"Why are you laughing?"
Cristina said unhappily.
That's it?
Adam asked curiously, "You really believe that?"
"What Cristina said is true. I had already said I was giving up."
Meredith's distinctive voice rang out.
"All right."
Adam shrugged. "I believe it."
"..."
Meredith's lips twitched.
Could you be any more perfunctory?
"Meredith really knows how to give up."
Cristina already knew about Meredith and Dr. Shepherd, and trusted Meredith completely. Therefore, she disapproved of Adam's perfunctory attitude. Ignoring Meredith's objections, she leaned close to Adam's ear and told him what had happened.
That's it?
Adam said calmly.
He was already used to the intern getting involved with the boss's boss's teaching teacher, the Attending Physician.
These are all basic operations; this isn't the first pair, nor will it be the last.
Before he gradually acquired High-Definition Photographic Memory and the ability to Evolving the Stars and Seas in his mind, he might have been somewhat conflicted.
After all, a second-generation doctor with the support of Chief of Surgery and the kind care of Attending Physician boyfriend will definitely steal many opportunities that belong to him.
But now, possessing these two extraordinary talents and physical attributes, and with sufficient experience, his strength is far beyond that of an intern.
Whenever an opportunity like this arises, Adam seizes it with absolute strength, leaving Meredith and the others with no chance to pull strings.
After all, a semblance of fairness must be maintained.
"Isn't that enough?"
Cristina was a little confused.
"You've never been in a relationship, have you?"
Adam looked at her strangely. "They're just a couple bickering, and you actually took it seriously? Just coax them a bit, and they won't be angry anymore."
Unless Dr. Shepherd is a hopeless straight man, or simply refuses to speak to Meredith again, he'll be left with no chance.
Otherwise, do you think he would risk Meredith's lifelong regret by giving you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for advanced surgery?
"..."
Cristina was speechless and felt terrible; her gaze towards Meredith also became somewhat strange.
As someone whose rationality overwhelmingly surpasses her emotions, she has indeed never been in a romantic relationship.
Of course, this doesn't mean she doesn't have anything indescribable.
In this respect, she and Adam are actually quite similar.
They're always more than friends, but never quite lovers.
In fact, while at Harvard Medical School, she lived with her admired technologist professor for two or three years.
But when faced with his marriage proposal, she chose to leave without any reaction.
Therefore, she was indeed not very vigilant in this regard and never thought that such a possibility existed.
Yes, despite Meredith's constant complaints, Dr. Shepherd is handsome and authoritative, practically Mr. Dreamy. How long can Meredith maintain her outward disdain in the face of someone like him?
I'm afraid a bright smile would melt Meredith's heart.
What will Meredith choose after melting?
Being rational, she had her own answer in mind.
"I..."
Meredith opened her mouth to speak, but under Adam's "persuasive sincerity" gaze, she thought about it and realized that what Adam said made perfect sense.
If that happens, her emotions will lead her to give up, after all, it was a promise she made to her best friend.
But reason told her that as a surgeon, she absolutely could not give up this opportunity.
At that point, whether emotion or reason would prevail, she really didn't know... or rather, she didn't want to think about it anymore...
