Buddy, See That Girl?

New York.

Ted and Marshall's apartment.

"She's here!"

Ted was lying on the sofa, his eyes glued to New York Metro News Channel One that hardly anyone ever watched. When Robin appeared on the screen, he immediately sat up straight.

"... Now we will head to the Medical Center to treat my colleague Neil..."

"Medical Center!"

Ted muttered something to himself, picked up his coat, and got up to go outside.

"Hey, what a coincidence, Barney and Adam are over there."

Lily exclaimed in surprise.

Before he finished speaking, Ted stopped abruptly and then accelerated to 100 meters per second.

What's wrong with him?

Lily asked curiously.

"Honey, don't you understand?"

Marshall laughed and said, "Ted is trying to win Robin back, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of tracking her location and trying to arrange a chance encounter. But whether it's Barney or Adam, they are both women's calamities and men's natural enemies. How can he not worry?"

"Ted is really crazy."

Lily shook her head. "Not only did he scare Robin away by saying 'I love you' on our first date, but now he's turned into a stalker. I'm starting to regret introducing him to Robin."

A few days ago.

MacLaren's Pub.

Marshall and Lily's sweetness was too dazzling. Ted was once again rambling on about his declaration of wanting to find true love when he turned around and saw the incredibly beautiful Robin.

Then.

Just like a scene from an old movie, a sailor sees a girl in a crowded dance floor, turns to his companion and says, "See that girl? One day I'll marry her."

"Hi, Dad, Mom, have you seen that girl?"

Ted leaned back tactically and bumped into the couple who were embracing affectionately, oblivious to everyone else. "I've found my future Mrs. Ted Mrs. Mosby."

Marshall and Lily's relationship is so stable, like that of an old married couple.

In addition, Lily is particularly good at giving guidance and support to her friends, while Marshall is growing into a smooth-talking lawyer.

Therefore, during their cohabitation, Ted would sometimes jokingly refer to them as his father and mother.

Wow! She's hot!

The one who exclaimed was not Marshall, but Lily.

Robin is beautiful and has a heroic air about her; men are attracted to her, and many women are too.

"Ted, what are you waiting for? Go!"

Marshall urged.

"I can't just go up there. I need to plan this out. Maybe I should wait until she goes to the restroom..."

Ted hesitated there.

"Hey, have you seen Ted?"

Lily rolled her eyes. When Robin came to the bar to order a drink, she followed Barney's routine, patted Robin on the shoulder from behind, said something, and then turned around and left the battlefield to Ted.

Everything was going smoothly until Ted was too impulsive and said "I love you" prematurely, scaring away Robin now just wanted to be carefree.

However, she did become good friends with Lily.

After learning from Lily that Robin didn't want a serious relationship and only wanted casual feelings, Ted began to plan his second offensive.

However, in order to appear casual, he couldn't even ask her out directly. He could only follow her first, then arrange a chance encounter, and 'casually' invite her to a party that 'didn't actually exist but would be arranged at any time'.

Ted calls himself the 'Prince of Casual'.

Lily, who also cherishes romance, felt that Ted had gone a bit mad.

"Marshall, let's go over there too, we can see Barney and Adam."

Lily suggested.

"Okay, that's fine."

Marshall naturally had no objections.

Medical Center.

"Ted?"

Robin was standing in the corridor, questioning Bald Chris about Neil's condition when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure and exclaimed in surprise.

"Robin? Wow! What a coincidence."

Ted had seen her long ago, but he deliberately turned away, waiting for Robin to greet him first before turning back in a pretentious manner, his expression and tone not actually exaggerated.

But the sweat pouring down his face from running so fast made his underwear completely exposed in the eyes of the Experienced Women, Robin, which looked rather comical.

However, Robin also had a good impression of him, so she didn't expose him.

What are you doing here?

"I?"

Ted panicked, but luckily he remembered Lily's words and covered up by saying, "I'm here to visit a friend. My good friend Barney is in the hospital here."

"Is that Barney that Lily was talking about?"

Robin smiled and said, "I haven't met him yet. I'll go with you to see him."

"No!"

Ted shouted, and seeing Robin's surprise, he quickly explained, "His illness makes him uncomfortable to see people, you wouldn't want to go."

As he spoke, he made a disgusted expression.

"Oh."

Robin looked enlightened and dropped the subject.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

Ted changed the subject.

"My colleague..."

Robin then explained the situation.

"Is he alright?"

"Ted asked."

"It should be fine."

Robin shrugged. "That's what the doctor told me."

"That's good."

Ted breathed a sigh of relief, then his 'Prince of Casual' persona kicked in, exaggerating his 'casualness': "Oh, by the way, I just happened to run into you. There's a party on Friday night; you're welcome to join if you like, but it's up to you~"

"Oh, I'm going home this weekend."

Robin said regretfully, "I wish the party was tonight."

Yes, tonight.

Ted immediately changed his tune. "I misspoke earlier. I've been saying Friday all the time lately, it's gotten a habit. Actually, the party's tonight, tonight! It's a party, whatever!"

"OK".

Robin smiled and agreed.

"Marshall, Lily, you're here too."

When Ted saw them arrive, he quickly went to greet them and whispered a reminder: "There's a party tonight, don't let it slip. I'll go back and make the arrangements."

After exchanging pleasantries, he gave Marshall and Lily a wink and then slipped away.

Williams Clinic.

"Hello."

Adam received a call from Lily: "I'm off work, not at the hospital. Party? Sure, I'll come over when I'm done here."

Hang up the phone.

Are you going to the party?

George said enviously.

"Let's wait until Cristina finishes her surgery before we talk about it."

Adam shook his head.

He hadn't hung out with Marshall, Lily, and the others for quite some time, but they were all friends who had provided him with attribute points, and chatting at the gathering was obviously less important than the surgery.

Every experienced doctor will tell the patient or their family before surgery, "Surgery carries risks!"

Because anesthesia is the first step in surgery, there is no guarantee of 100% safety.

So even though the surgeon performing the operation on Cristina is an absolute expert in this field, he won't immediately leave to attend a party.

Two hours later.

The surgery is over.

There were no dramatic moments, and everything went smoothly.

"Meredith, Cristina is in your care. Stay here with her tonight, is that alright?"

Adam asked.

"Certainly."

Meredith nodded.

The two were classmates and best friends in medical school, which was only natural and didn't require Adam to say anything.

Meredith suffered a setback today and also drank quite a bit of alcohol.

That's why Adam gave a few words of advice.

"George, let's go."

Adam gestured for George to leave.

He was worried about leaving George behind.

After tonight, even if George cuckolds Dr. Shepherd to his face, he'll just watch the show.

But not tonight.

It's fine if you can't get Dr. Shepherd's favor, but don't let him hold a grudge against you.

"I..."

"Meredith is fine here. You go back and get some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow morning, and you'll be covering for Cristina for the next couple of days."

Adam didn't give George a chance to speak and dragged him away.

Marshall and Ted's apartment.

A party has been organized thanks to Ted's mobilization efforts.

The apartment was packed with people.

When Marshall and Lily accompanied Robin, they both secretly gave Ted a thumbs-up.

However, Ted had no time to pay attention to them. When they entered, he hurriedly picked up his architect's drawing tools, originally planning to find a beautiful woman to demonstrate his charm and 'casualness' to Robin.

But at that moment, there were no beautiful women in front of him, only a gay-looking man.

But when he caught sight of Robin coming over, he had no choice but to keep up the act.

Hi, how are you?

Feeling Robin approaching from behind, Ted 'casually turned around,' leaned back tactically, and 'casually' greeted her.

"Hi, nice party."

Robin praised it.

Please make yourself at home.

Ted casually remarked, then turned back to continue his long-winded discussion of his cool architecture with the effeminate-looking man.

Robin likes to be casual, doesn't she?

That's just how 'casual' he is!

Robin was a little confused. Seeing that Ted was really ignoring her, she had no choice but to walk towards Lily.

Upon seeing this, Ted smiled smugly.

His plan was to leave Robin waiting for an hour, and then casually invite her up to the roof again.

The moon, Star-Light, and the hazy night sky.

On the rooftop, no one can resist falling in love.

The plan is just that perfect!

"What's wrong with Ted? He seems strange."

Robin complained to Lily.

Lily gave a wry smile.

She knew the reason, but she couldn't say it.

Because as soon as she mentioned it, Robin knew she was a blabbermouth and immediately told Ted what Robin had explicitly told her not to say.

"Robin ..."

Lily racked her brains trying to figure out what to say, but Robin interrupted her.

Robin leaned back strategically and bumped into her, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "Hey, Lily, do you see that man? If I ever get married, I want to marry him!"

Lily: "..."
