Encrypted Folder

Apartment party.

"Whatever."

"Nobody's more casual than me~"

Ted is striking a pose there, and he looks really good.

It will erupt in half an hour.

"Ted ~"

Marshall and Lily walked over and, seeing him still deliberately casual, couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"No need to pretend anymore, Robin's gone."

Lily couldn't help but say.

"What?"

Ted was immediately stunned. He hadn't even entered the scene yet, and the female lead had already left?

"Robin likes Adam..."

Lily explained what had happened.

"No!"

Ted was unwilling to accept it, especially after hearing how much Robin's behavior when he first met Adam resembled his own when he first met Robin; he was completely distraught.

"Absolutely true."

Marshall's eyes suddenly hardened. "Ted, accept reality, Robin isn't your soulmate."

No! She is!

"Ted shouted."

"Oh, really?"

Marshall questioned, "Do you have any evidence? The feeling of love at first sight doesn't count, because Robin's behavior has proven that the feeling was purely driven by hormones."

"We share the same interests."

Ted tried to find evidence that he and Robin were destined for each other. "She likes dogs, Scotch whisky, she likes to quote lines from Ghostbusters, and she hates olives, yes! The Olive Theory! You guys invented that."

Lily loves olives, while Marshall hates them. When they encounter olives, they don't fight or compete; they complement each other perfectly, a phenomenon known as the Olive Theory.

Marshall pursed his lips and said to Lily, "Honey, I'm sorry, I lied. I like olives too."

"What?"

Lily and Ted exclaimed in surprise.

That was our first date.

Marshall explained apologetically, "Lily, you asked me if I could give you an olive. I was just an eighteen-year-old bastard back then, waiting my whole life for a girl to accept my olive branch, so what could I say except 'Of course, I hate olives'?"

"No!"

Lily is upset.

Ted was distracted.

"Lily, I'm sorry, I lied."

Marshall said, "But does our relationship really need an Olive Theory to support it?"

Lily paused, then looked deeply into Marshall's eyes. "No need."

"Ted, you witnessed all of Lily's firsts."

Marshall held Lily's hand and looked at Ted: "Do you remember what it was like when we first started dating? Was it like you are now, before we've even started dating, you're already saying 'I love you' and 'you're the one for me'?"

Ted was speechless.

Marshall had initially made it clear to him, "Brother, this is just for fun. You don't really think I'd give up the whole forest for Lily, do you?"

"Feelings are built up over time."

Marshall got more and more excited as he spoke, displaying his expertise as a prospective lawyer. "If you really believe in the concept of a soulmate, you should believe that you don't need to go through all that trouble to find her. One day, she will quietly appear by your side, just like Lily knocked on my dorm room door."

But you need to be prepared, don't be impatient, take your time, and what's meant to be yours will always be yours.

If you continue to act like before, falling in love with every girl you see, going too far, being intensely in love one moment and completely losing interest the next, you will hurt many good girls.

If you don't change, even if your soulmate appears, or even if Robin falls in love with you, are you sure you'll still feel the same way a month from now?

Even if it takes a month, what about a year? How many Robin have you left behind in the past?

Ted opened his mouth.

Without High-Definition Photographic Memory, he really couldn't count them all.

"You've been influenced by Barney too much."

Marshall sighed, "They're too goal-oriented. Seeing that Lily and I got engaged, they immediately wanted love and engagement too, and then they only focused on that. How is that any different from Barney, who's always launching challenges?"

Where is Ted used to cry while clutching a picture of his first love Helen? Can you still find that feeling now?

"Yes."

Lily chimed in, "Even if the Olive Theory is true, so what? It's just a small part of your personalities and habits that you agree on, and it's a negligible part at that. How many olives do you eat in a year?"

The biggest difference between you and Robin is in how you treat relationships and careers. She is focused on career development, while you value relationships more.

Imagine she's broadcasting the news all over the United States, or even the world, and you only see her a few times a year. Even if it's true love, what does it matter?

This is the biggest and most irreconcilable contradiction! It's not something we invented; it's a well-known theory about long-distance relationships! You're not some high school kid who fooled people off before college anymore.

"Ted, take some time to calm down."

Marshall patted Ted on the shoulder. "Don't be impatient. If there really is destiny, then your special someone will appear today or tomorrow."

Ted remained silent.

Was he really wrong?

Is it possible that he has already given up on the woman who was originally his soulmate?

The next day.

Medical Center.

"How is Cristina?"

Adam met Meredith outside the hospital building and couldn't help but ask her a question.

"The surgery was performed in time and there were no problems. She was even eager to come to work today."

Meredith managed a weak smile.

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

This is so Cristina!

"George!"

Meredith called out to George was walking quickly past.

George ignored him and walked straight into the hospital building.

Meredith gave a wry smile.

"No!"

Adam had a bad feeling when he saw them like this.

"Please don't tell me George went to the clinic again last night?"

Meredith didn't answer, but lowered his head and went inside as well.

"No!"

Adam was in a terrible predicament.

There's definitely something fishy about this behavior.

The favor owed to the Attending Physician, Dr. Shepherd, was gone just like that...

Damn, he was 100% Drunk and Losing Pants!

Changing room.

Snap!

George changed his clothes and slammed the closet door shut.

Why are you so angry?

Did it not work?

Adam pondered to himself, but remained outwardly calm, pretending not to have heard.

My only memory of last night is that Meredith took care of Cristina and then left with George.

He knew nothing else.

With this in mind, Adam encrypted this memory of speculation.

ID 19980901, 30MB memory.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the entire Encrypted Folder, and the 48GB memory numbered 19980831 next to it was particularly eye-catching.

Adam wasn't surprised that High-Definition Photographic Memory had this function.

His ability is a 'copy' of Sheldon's.

Little Sheldon was praised by his father for eating beef with a "damn," and he could recall indescribable memories of his parents shortly after he was born.

Sheldon kept his displeasure to himself for many years in order to teach Leonard an unforgettable lesson.

How did he manage that, given his personality?

He had encrypted that memory that drove him crazy, either actively or passively, and was temporarily avoiding it, only decrypting it under special circumstances.

Sheldon can do it, Adam certainly can now too.
