Schrödinger's Panic
Adam's apartment.
"I'll talk to her."
Juno laughed.
Adam reluctantly got up and handed the phone to Juno.
"Lily, don't worry."
Juno reassured her, "It's not certain yet whether you're really pregnant, and even if you are, the child you and Marshall have will be completely different in size and weight from the child Marshall's parents had."
And don't you love Marshall?
Love, right?
Since you love each other, you'll eventually have your own child, right?
You are engaged and will be getting married soon.
Even if you have children now, it's not such a scary thing, is it?
Okay, calm down and adjust your breathing...
On the other end of the phone, Lily quickly calmed down after Juno comforted her.
"I've bought it, I'll hang it up now."
Lily said something apologetically and hung up the phone.
Although a pregnancy test can be done with one hand, it can't be broadcast live over the phone.
"Does this scene look familiar?"
Juno smiled and looked at Adam.
"...What do you mean?"
Seeing the strange expressions on the other people's faces as they scrutinized him, Adam's lips twitched.
"I mean Sheldon's older brother Georgie Jr.."
Juno looked at Adam with a grin for a while.
"Hehe."
Adam's lips twitched slightly.
You can just say "Georgie Jr." if you want, why are you looking at me like that and breathing so heavily?
It's like I did something wrong!
Chandler humorously remarked, "That's normal."
"Um?"
Monica immediately looked at him. "You're very experienced?"
"You don't have it?"
Chandler, caught up in Juno's enthusiasm, momentarily lost his composure and looked over in surprise.
He only realized what was happening when he met his wife's dangerous gaze.
Despite how beautiful Monica is now, and forget about the 'Schrödinger's Panic when your period is late,' she doesn't even have a boyfriend.
Even her first kiss... she thought it was during a romantic midnight moment with him...
"Georgie Jr.?"
Paige, unusually, chimed in, "When we first went to Sheldon's house, he and Erica were secretly getting intimate."
"You guys are really precocious."
Monica felt a little jealous.
"Erica mentioned this to you?"
Adam looked at Paige in surprise.
"Um."
Paige nodded. "I was more interested in these things back then, and Erica was willing to talk to me about them too."
"Georgie Jr. almost thought he was going to be a father."
Adam laughed and said, "He was terrified. The ten-minute pregnancy test was, according to him, the longest ten minutes of his life. Even after the test showed he wasn't pregnant, he and his girlfriend completely lost interest and didn't even dare to hug. He was still shaken!"
Speaking of which...
Adam and Chandler exchanged a glance, both showing a look of empathy.
This life is a little better.
Knowing that the American TV Show World is chaotic, Adam took good precautions, except in some special circumstances.
This empathy stems more from memories of a past life.
Adam's reaction at that time was almost exactly the same as Georgie Jr.'s.
Panic and torment.
The feeling of relief and comfort after the alarm was lifted was indescribable.
Certainly.
Unlike the Georgie Jr. in Adam previous life, after the all-clear was lifted, when faced with his girlfriend's life-threatening problem, he didn't unrestrainedly vent his joy.
He didn't say something silly like Georgie Jr., "I'm so scared, I'm afraid I have to marry you, my legs are shaking."
Like most men, he said, "It's really nothing. Even if I get pregnant, I can just get married, have the baby, and raise it..."
Emmm.
That wasn't panic before.
Absolutely not!
Men who know the answer are all so confident and composed.
This isn't trash!
Because it was only afterward that I learned my girlfriend knew from the beginning that there was no danger.
This was just a trial she was taking, based on advanced experience she had learned from her roommate.
We're all equally bad.
They're just instinctive reactions forced out of them.
Certainly.
If the girl suddenly changes her tone and says, "That's great! I was just kidding, I'm actually pregnant..."
Um.
If you really meet a girl like that, you should just go for it.
Otherwise, they might encounter unforeseen circumstances.
"Still shaken and not interested? Is that right?"
Juno gave a half-smile, "How long has this state lasted?"
"..."
Adam and Chandler were speechless.
"Ha! Men!"
Apart from Paige, the other women all voiced their disdain.
"That's not the point."
Adam chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject, saying, "I'll call Lily. Ten minutes have passed; her pregnancy test results should be out by now."
Just as they despise.
The lingering fear didn't last long.
Zhou Shuren said: The greatest lesson that mankind has learned is that we can never learn a lesson.
Even though they were terrified because of the question of whether Schrödinger's Period would come, they unanimously agreed to refrain from sexual activity and maintain a safe distance from each other.
However, this state doesn't even last as long as the sage state.
The call was connected.
"Lily, have the results come out yet?"
Adam asked.
"This is the police station. Ms. Aldrin has been arrested."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What crime?"
Adam was puzzled.
"Peeing anywhere."
"That's what the police officer said."
"..."
Adam's lips twitched. "Could you give Lily your phone so I can say a few words to her? She's the Erickson family's prospective daughter-in-law. You should know the Erickson family, right?"
Lily drove out to buy a pregnancy test, but she didn't go far; it was nearby.
In small towns in the United States, the police have some understanding of the situation of each household.
Especially a family like Marshall's, where everyone is tall and Marshall is a future lawyer, should be quite famous.
"The Erickson family's prospective daughter-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, the police immediately recognized her. "Is she Marshall's fiancée?"
"Right."
Adam nodded.
"Hehe."
The policeman smiled and handed the phone to Lily: "Marshall will be here to pick you up soon. By the way, my name is Mike, and I'm Marshall's classmate."
"Hi Mike, my name is Lily."
Lily awkwardly took the phone.
"Peeing anywhere, huh?"
Adam suppressed a laugh.
"I didn't want to either."
Lily was embarrassed and annoyed. "There's no restroom in the convenience store, and the clerk told me to just find anywhere... Damn it! It's all Marshall's fault! He made me fall to the same level as Barney."
Emmm.
Barney also urinated in public, even on the church wall, and was caught red-handed. The judge sentenced him to do community service.
Right now, he's still doing volunteer work to atone for his sins.
"And what was the result?"
Adam, let's get back to the main topic.
"Have no idea."
Lily said with annoyance, "I just got up and Mike grabbed me. I didn't even have time to look at the pregnancy test."
"It's negative!"
Officer Mike's voice came through.
He was clearly eavesdropping.
"Thank God!"
Lily was overjoyed.
"Now you can rest assured."
After exchanging a few more words with Lily, Adam hung up the phone.
"I really envy her."
Monica said with envy, "I don't even have a chance to panic."
Chandler: "..."
