Breaking Ties

Friends Bar.

"But I don't know!"

Heather's face turned red with anger.

"OK".

Ted knew he shouldn't have said that in front of Adam and everyone else; his little sister had her pride too, so he apologized.

"My mistake is in the past. Now, you and Barney have taught me a lesson, proving that you are mature enough. Didn't I also sign you as a co-signer?"

"Is this related to Barney?"

Adam's expression was somewhat strange.

If it were him, let alone letting his second sister Teddy have any contact with Barney, if Barney dared to step into Teddy's line of sight, he wouldn't say a word, he would beat Barney up first and send Barney to the hospital.

It's not what you think.

Ted quickly explained, "At first, I was also very wary of Barney. Every time Heather came over, I didn't tell him, because I was afraid he would do something to Heather..."

As he said this, his expression turned somewhat disgusted.

But he remembered that every time his family sent him a Christmas card, Barney would stand behind him and sing to the picture of Heather on the card.

Take off her pants.

They pulled down my pants.

Under the witness of mistletoe.

Make her incredibly happy.

Hot girl Heather.

Hot girl Heather.

I will provide a one-stop service.

There is also a series of self-composed and self-sung songs.

What? 'I want to see her at birth, kneeling and waiting for my favor.' Ted has a little sister who's growing more and more affectionate every day. I want to meet her, and then...'

Ted would roll his eyes each time, and if he couldn't stand it anymore, he would elbow Barney; his refusal was really limited.

You should trust me.

Barney, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, "I was just saying it, but if I promise you, I definitely won't do it."

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Why are you laughing?"

Barney complained.

"Those who know, know."

Adam glanced at him.

"This place is terrible, it's nowhere near as good as MacLaren's Pub's."

Barney paused, then began to complain.

That's because everyone here knows you.

Adam succinctly revealed the key point.

Barney, who was admitted to the hospital as Adam's friend, was also infected with Charm Poison and had already become famous at the Medical Center.

The Friends Bar is mostly frequented by doctors and nurses from Medical Center. Even if there are one or two newcomers who don't know him, as long as his friends Sheldon that Barney has had Charm Poison, they will naturally stay as far away as possible.

I'll say it again.

Although there are safety measures in place and it's not a big deal, it still sounds disgusting, and there is, after all, a certain degree of risk.

Barney isn't handsome enough to make people disregard any risks.

Naturally, he suffered repeated setbacks here and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Barney and Heather really taught me a lesson."

Ted tried to smooth things over, saying, "I should believe them."

"Oh, what happened?"

Adam laughed.

"This is what happened..."

Before Ted could even open his mouth, Lily had already blurted out the whole story in one breath. She took a deep breath, then picked up the beer Marshall handed her and drank it down in large gulps.

It turns out that Ted's Heather a secret from Barney.

Unfortunately, he told the gossipy Lily.

Then.

Barney blocked Heather's path directly in the apartment and met her there.

During dinner that evening, Heather mentioned her plans to pursue a career in the financial industry in New York.

Barney immediately pulled out his business card, which belonged to a senior executive at Goliath National Bank.

Ted initially tried his best to stop it.

Because he knew what kind of person Barney was.

But Heather persisted.

He could only send Lily to keep an eye on them.

But to everyone's surprise, when Lily went to conduct a surprise inspection, she found the two men in Barney's office, disheveled and hastily dressing afterward.

When Ted found out, he was furious and gave Heather a severe scolding.

However, this was all a charade orchestrated by Barney and Heather.

They knew Lily would come, and they also knew Lily was a blabbermouth, so they wanted to use this opportunity to teach Ted a lesson.

"Hehe."

Adam hearing the whole story, Adam couldn't help but laugh, "It seems Barney still has some bottom line. Otherwise, given that he hasn't completely recovered from the Charm Poison, that would have been really too much."

"What?"

Heather was shocked. "Barney has Charm Poison?!"

"You do not know?"

Adam said in surprise, "He had it before, but it hasn't been six months yet, so we can't be sure if he's completely cured. But it doesn't matter, you didn't do anything."

"You have Charm Poison?!?"

Heather suddenly stood up and roared at Barney.

"Relax."

Adam reassured him, "Normally there's no risk of infection from contact. Didn't you see we're all sitting with him?"

Heather's face turned pale and then red as she glared fiercely at Barney.

Barney kept giving her meaningful glances.

"Heather, what's going on?"

If Ted still can't see the problem by now, he'd be a complete idiot.

"Oh."

Lily immediately understood what had happened.

"Barney Stinson!!!"

Ted gritted his teeth and glared at Barney: "You lied to me!!!"

"Okay, okay."

Barney, in a fit of despair, said, "We didn't lie to you, but the story isn't over yet. What Lily saw was us pretending. Back then, we really didn't do anything; we just wanted to teach you a lesson. What happened after Lily left doesn't count, so it wasn't lying to you."

"What happens after that doesn't count?"

Ted was furious. "You've gone too far!"

"Yeah, Barney, you went too far!"

Lily and Marshall also joined in the condemnation.

"I knew it, how could I be wrong? Those who know, know."

Adam sighed, "Barney has no principles when it comes to beauty. He promised Marshall last time that he wouldn't gamble with Marshall's future."

To believe he wouldn't harm his own sister is like believing cats don't eat fish and dogs don't eat meat.

You did nothing wrong!

Robin looked at Barney with a mixture of fear and disdain.

Fortunately, when her younger sister Katie came last time, she didn't let Barney touch Katie, otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

"Heather, don't worry..."

After glaring at and cursing at Barney, Ted stopped, then looked at Heather, whose face was pale with concern. "She might be alright..."

Then he looked to Adam for help. "Adam?"

"Come with me."

Adam shook his head and stood up. "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first."

"Yes, yes!"

Ted also got up and went to help Heather, whose body was a little weak.

Lily and the others all got up, including Barney.

"Don't follow me, stay away from my sister!"

Ted cursed angrily.

"Barney, you've really crossed the line this time."

Marshall said with a serious expression, "This is Ted's own sister!"

"Yes."

Lily glared at Barney: "Don't you really have any bottom line at all?"

Robin couldn't be bothered to talk to him at all.

The crowd escorted Heather to the Medical Center next door for blood tests.

Because of Adam's influence, the result came out quickly.

"How is Adam?"

Ted stared longingly at him.

"Negative."

Adam glanced at the report and said.

"Thank God!"

Ted yelled.

"Waaaaah."

Overwhelmed by extreme joy and sorrow, Heather couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

"Now you know how to cry? Where were you before!"

Ted was disappointed in his son's lack of ambition.

"Can we blame her entirely?"

Adam reminded him, "Are you sure you're not wrong?"

"I warned her a long time ago..."

Ted retorted, unconvinced.

"What about Barney?"

Adam sneered, "If you had been firm from the beginning and hadn't given Barney the chance to gradually cross the line, would this have happened? Come to think of it, even Marshall and Lily were at fault!"

"Right."

Marshall said in a deep voice, "We should all stick to our principles and not let Barney cross the line step by step. I also bear responsibility for what happened today. I should have broken off relations with Barney after what happened to my professor last time."

"Who would have thought that Barney really has no bottom line at all?"

Lily murmured.

"I was wrong too. If we both insist, either he will accept this most basic rule of conduct, or he will get out of our world."

Adam sighed, "After this incident, no matter what you think, as long as Barney doesn't have a daughter and doesn't truly change his bottomless ways, I'm not going to see him again. Keep that in mind when you get together in the future."

Everyone: "..."
