The Sinful Salted Fish
520 Apartment.
A beautiful woman wearing a bathrobe, her long, wet hair flying, walked out.
This is a scenario that every good man has encountered.
However, the five pairs of bright eyes around them completely shattered this familiar atmosphere.
Adam glanced at her, then politely looked away and turned to Monica, the owner of the place, his eyes conveying, "What's going on?"
Monica replied, "We'll talk about it later."
"Kathy, this is our good friend Adam."
"Adam, this is my and Ross's cousin."
As Monica made her introduction, she spoke in a drawn-out tone when she mentioned Ross, clearly implying something.
Ross lowered his head upon hearing this.
"Hi."
Adam greeted him with a smile.
"Hi."
Kathy covered her chest with her left hand, raised her right hand slightly, moved her fingers slightly, stared at Adam, and smiled.
"Cough cough."
Ross coughed loudly.
"I'll go change my clothes first."
Kathy also sensed that something was amiss and walked into Rachel's old room, now a guest room, with a smile.
Snap.
The moment the guest room door closed.
"See? That's a normal male reaction!"
Monica immediately jumped up, pointed at Adam with both index fingers, and looked at Chandler and Ross.
"That is!"
Rachel, with her pregnant belly, complained, "What do you mean by saying that when you see her, time seems to slow down, beautiful melodies fill your ears, you can almost smell her hair, Kathy is radiant? It's all lies from you guys who are bewitched."
"I'm not lying."
"It's true, I didn't want this to happen either."
Chandler and Ross quickly offered an awkward explanation.
"I trust you."
Rachel scoffed, "Because if you premeditatedly kissed Kathy, then you're a real scumbag, damn it, she's your cousin."
"Distant cousin!"
Seeing the surprise in Adam's eyes, Ross immediately exclaimed, "Legally speaking, we're fine."
"Ho, ho, ho!"
Monica raised her hand, looking at her older brother incredulously. "You actually thought about it seriously?"
"..."
Ross was speechless and could only awkwardly lower his head and remain silent.
"Him and his cousin?"
Adam's lips twitched.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Ross panicked.
"Who put their mouth on Kathy's face?"
Rachel said disdainfully, "I wonder if Mona would believe your story if she knew."
"I..."
Ross immediately blushed and his neck turned red.
"Don't get agitated."
Adam reassured him, "I know someone whose first time was with his distant cousin."
"Real?"
Ross's eyes lit up immediately. "What's going on with them?"
Monica and the others looked over in surprise.
"Oh, here's what happened."
Adam suppressed a laugh and said, "They were young then. At his uncle's funeral, he and his distant cousin were in the kitchen, chatting across the rack of pickled herring. At first, like Ross, they didn't have any romantic feelings for each other. But at a certain moment, their eyes met, and the flames of youth immediately ignited."
"This is disgusting!"
"They really did it, to the point of ruining my uncle's funeral!"
"And then what?"
Rachel and the others condemned the behavior, but Ross got excited and started pressing for answers.
"Later they got into a car from an Island Nation."
Adam laughed and said, "Even now, that man gets a guilty and embarrassed excitement whenever he sees or smells pickled herring."
"Sin?"
Ross was unhappy with that word.
"Yes."
Adam said seriously, "That's his cousin, isn't that sinful?"
"It's my distant cousin!!!"
Ross exclaimed, "There's absolutely no problem with it!"
"So?"
Adam shrugged and said, "We didn't say anything about the law; we were just making moral comments and mocking him."
"..."
Ross's face darkened.
If he still doesn't realize that Adam wasn't actually supporting him, then he's a fool.
"Hahaha!"
"Well said, we just despise you morally."
"You're so confident in your words, do you dare to say this in public during a family reunion? Ross, do you dare?"
Rachel and the others immediately burst into laughter.
"What are you saying that makes you so happy?"
Kathy, having changed her clothes, came out of the guest room.
There is a reason why it has taken so long.
She dressed up carefully.
Ross's long face remained frozen, staring at her blankly.
Adam noticed that even Chandler seemed lost in thought.
"Nothing."
Monica pinched Chandler hard on the back, then quickly changed the subject.
She had prepared a guest room for Kathy, but Chandler's eyes lit up when he saw Kathy.
She had no choice but to send Kathy to Ross.
To everyone's surprise, Ross went even further and tried to verbally attack her.
Then Kathy had no choice but to move back in.
After all, with her here, the chances of Chandler getting into trouble are much lower than with Ross.
Even now that things have come to this point, Chandler and Ross haven't improved at all; they still act like perverts all the time.
It seems we can't let Kathy stay here any longer.
She has a husband, a brother, and is also infatuated with her cousin.
It's all a disgrace to the family!
"Let's all eat together; this is Adam's atoning meal."
Monica greeted her.
Where's Joey?
Adam asked curiously.
"Where else could he be? He must have a date with a beautiful woman."
Monica complained, "He could have participated if it were tomorrow night, but you changed it to tonight at the last minute."
"Feel sorry."
Adam said apologetically, "It really happened so suddenly."
Are you doctors really that busy?
Phoebe asked skeptically, "Can't you even squeeze out one night?"
"No."
Adam shook his head and explained Alice Grey's situation, "... Although she still remembers medicine, no one can say for sure when she might forget it, so I must pass on her experience and knowledge as completely as possible in the shortest amount of time."
Wow! You're amazing!
"Kathy exclaimed in amazement."
"I support you for the sake of the patients!"
Phoebe gave a thumbs up.
"I never expected Meredith's mother... After that, we had even fewer opportunities to get together."
Chandler shook his head.
"Yes."
Adam nodded. "But I won't miss any important moments that belong to all of us."
"I trust you."
Chandler laughed.
"OMG!"
Rachel fanned her face with her hand, looking deeply moved. "Does it have to be this touching? I'm almost crying."
"Have you named your child yet? Leonard is very curious about that."
Adam's words extinguished Rachel's emotions.
"Don't say such unromantic things!"
Rachel punched Adam in annoyance.
"Chandler, where are you and Monica?"
Adam looked at the two people he valued most.
"Us?"
Monica and Chandler were taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "We've only been on our honeymoon for a little over two months, so we're not thinking about that for now."
"That's true, take it slow."
Adam smiled meaningfully.
The dinner party has ended.
Adam pulled Chandler aside, said a few words to him on the balcony, and then left.
He admired what Lily Marshall said: as long as they don't miss each other's important moments in life, best friends will always be best friends!
