Robin Wouldn't Compromise
Friends Bar.
"No, I'd rather not..."
Lily still refused.
"See?"
Adam laughed and said, "What you think you want may not actually be what you want. Otherwise, how could Lily Aldrin, who is always cheerful and generous and can shout 'You are all trash' at everyone while chugging beer, back down like a 'little bitch'?"
"That's Ted!"
Lily was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
When Ted first met Robin gave him a hint that he could kiss her goodbye. However, Ted, who was usually a womanizer, was now in the process of pursuing his true love and was too shy to make a move.
When I talked to Lily and the others about it afterward, even though I explained a lot, Lily still described me as a 'cowardly little bitch'.
Lily was naturally unhappy about being addressed that way by Adam.
Adam looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
"...All right."
Lily knew that if she didn't agree now, she would be no different from Ted who had been timid and hesitant back then, so she had no choice but to agree, "But what should I draw?"
"I'll paint your wedding with Marshall."
Adam laughed and said, "Art also needs genuine feelings to move people more. Your feelings for Marshall are real, and your painting based on them is definitely full of emotion. If this painting can't move the master, then it means you really don't have any talent. What do you think?"
"Um."
Lily nodded helplessly.
Adam's pressure shattered all my previous confidence and illusions.
Now she understands a little better where that dreamy girl went.
Before even setting off, she was stopped at the chasm between dreams and reality, brushing past it. After going around in circles in reality, she suddenly found herself back at this chasm, looked towards her dreams, and the sky cleared and the rain stopped. She felt she could do it again...
I look forward to your masterpiece.
Adam smiled and said, "By the way, is there anything I can help with for the wedding?"
"..."
Lily didn't want to talk anymore; it was obvious she didn't believe she could succeed. "No need."
"Are you sure you don't need me to book the Vance Mout Hotel for you?"
Adam laughed.
The Vansmut, a magnificent palace situated on the banks of the Hudson River, is a dream wedding venue for many and is always fully booked.
Marshall and Lily both really liked it there.
However, their economic situation is not very good.
Marshall is still studying law, while Lily used to have a lot of credit card debt and was burdened with huge debts.
Lily isn't Monica; she wouldn't be willing to give everything for a wedding and would be willing to keep it simple.
Therefore, even though Adam offered to help them cut in line, they remained hesitant about whether to book the Vansmut.
Adam also respected their ideas.
Marshall is not Chandler, after all.
"We've already placed the order."
Lily hesitated, "I was at work during the day when Marshall suddenly called and said that someone had cancelled their order for Vansmoot, which would free up space for two months later. I was hesitant at first, but when Marshall mentioned Todd and Valerie, I impulsively agreed."
"Are you still arguing with them?"
Adam was delighted.
"They're the ones who're going against us!"
Lily said angrily, "They take everything from us!"
When planning a wedding, other couples with similar tastes and circumstances may appear, which can create competition.
The couple Lily and her friends encountered was Todd and Valerie.
From wedding dresses to bands to hotels, these two couples encountered almost everything during the wedding preparation process, vying for everything and quickly transforming from strangers into the most familiar people.
After all, your enemy knows you best.
"Then you should be happy."
Adam laughed and said, "This time, you've snatched the most important wedding venue from them."
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Lily couldn't help but say smugly, "I skipped class and met up with Marshall. We rushed over and bumped into them in the elevator."
Who I am?
Marshall was running up the stairs, and I casually slid down and pressed all the elevator buttons.
How can they compete with us?
"Lily, you're a kindergarten teacher, please don't corrupt the children."
Adam retorted, "That's unethical."
At the beginning of the Big Bang Theory, Leonard and Sheldon went to get the TV for Penny, but they were stuck downstairs because they didn't have the key. One had an IQ of 187 and the other had an IQ of 173, and they were at a loss.
As a result, a group of Girl Scouts selling cookies came along and casually swiped the call button, and the main door at the bottom of the building opened automatically.
In his previous life Adam thought this was a special way of opening the doors of buildings in the United States.
Because it responds so seamlessly.
But now that I think about it, it was clearly a way of forcing the residents inside the building to open the downstairs door and let them in by using the annoying behavior of unruly children.
Because the child's hand slipped, alarms sounded simultaneously in so many apartments in the building. Someone would just turn them on to avoid getting annoyed, and the seamless operation gave Adam the wrong impression.
Lily, that kindergarten teacher, definitely started something bad.
What are you saying!
Lily waved her hand and said, "I only did it out of necessity, of course I wouldn't teach it to my students."
"I hope so."
Adam expressed his doubts.
After chatting for a while, Adam urged Lily to go back to drawing.
With only two months left until their wedding, it's best to end her dream of becoming an artist sooner rather than later, so she can focus her attention back on the wedding.
Otherwise, if she really showed it, Marshall would understand, but he would inevitably be sad inside.
It's completely unnecessary.
Lily wanted to stay for a few more drinks, but Adam pressed her for an excuse, so she started using Robin's situation to get back at Adam, telling him that he should apologize to Adam and make Robin calm down.
Adam thought about it and realized that he was indeed in the wrong last night. Even if Robin ignored him from now on, he still needed to apologize.
We can't expect Adam to become her enemy just because she clashed with him once.
After all, they had many happy moments together.
It's best to part ways amicably.
With that in mind, Adam agreed to Lily's suggestion that she accompany him to apologize.
She's the type who loves to stir up trouble.
Adam had a premonition that he wouldn't be able to gamble with Robin that her gun was unloaded this time, just like he had last time.
And indeed, Adam's premonition proved to be very accurate.
Robin, who opened the door, stood there with his gun, loading bullets into the magazine while coldly watching Adam.
Adam gave Lily a helpless smile and wisely slipped away.
However, he understood.
After all, Robin doesn't know that she can't have children.
She dislikes children the most and has always believed in remaining childless forever.
Last night, in the heat of passion, Adam's despicable behavior, despite her strong objections, infuriated her.
While Plan B is effective, it is not 100% guaranteed to work.
The next month will be a month of fear and anxiety for her, especially after hearing Adam's cryptic "Sorry, I'm used to it." If she didn't get angry, she wouldn't be Robin!
Although Adam knew that Robin was infertile, he couldn't say it. Seeing how determined Robin was, he could only apologize again and leave.
Although Robin wouldn't actually shoot Adam, firing a warning shot from a distance was still no big deal for her.
It would be too embarrassing if the police came.
The next day.
Medical Center.
The interns made their rounds early in the morning.
When Adam entered the ward and saw a familiar face, he froze in place.
