Your Energy Exceeds Your Imagination (Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year's Eve!)
Friends Bar.
"Here's the thing, I've been feeling a bit strange these past few days."
Ted began to recount the story. "I went to my dentist the other day, and when he had me open my mouth for an examination, he inexplicably said, 'I think you're more used to saying this than hearing it, right, Ted Mosby?'"
Then there's Wendy today, who inexplicably wanted to give me water because she was worried I was dehydrated.
Beverage companies have also called to ask if I'm interested in endorsing functional beverages..."
Is that company Red Bull?
Adam couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then it makes perfect sense, after all, your energy is beyond your imagination~"
"Hahaha."
Marshall and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Red Bull was already a global brand of functional beverage at this time.
The name Red Bull itself embodies a sense of dynamism and vitality.
"Of course not!"
Ted scoffed, "What legitimate company would hire an action movie star as their spokesperson? How could you even think of that!"
"What a pity."
Adam laughed.
If a legendary action movie star who debuted at the peak of his career were to endorse this kind of beverage, it might have a miraculous effect.
After all, it has enough persuasive power.
Of course, even if it sells well, most people will probably buy it secretly.
When people talk about it outside, they all look down on it.
But in private, they buy them by the truckload.
Emmm.
They were all shy and quiet fans.
In short.
Ted said, "At first I just felt something was strange, but I had no idea what was going on because when I asked these people, they wouldn't say anything..."
"Until Barney came over with a box of discs."
Lily laughed and said, "The plane is called 'Welcome aboard the Silver Boeing' (a pun on the English word), Ted Mosby is the navigator!"
"Damn it!"
Ted exclaimed, "That's when I realized someone had stolen my name!"
"And here comes something even more shameful!"
Lily was overjoyed.
"Speak quickly!"
Adam smiled and urged him on.
"Ted Mosby also gave an interview to Action Movie Weekly A-W."
Marshall covered his mouth and laughed, "Guess who was actually being interviewed?"
"Of course it's Ted."
Adam laughed.
This action star is only using Ted's name, and he will not use his real name or contact number in the film.
So how do some interviewers find him for an interview?
Of course, you should look up Ted Mosby's name in the phone book to contact him.
Just like the Terminator who travels through time and goes back to the past, he searches for people by name in a phone booth and kills them one by one.
We killed the wrong person, but we didn't let anyone go.
Moreover, the name Ted Mosby is quite rare.
Therefore, Action Movie Weekly immediately targeted Ted.
"That's him!"
Marshall and the others burst into laughter again.
"He only said A through W!"
Ted exclaimed in frustration, "I thought it was Architectural Vision Weekly (also abbreviated as A-W), which is a very important publication in our industry. Plus, I'm working on a big project, so I naturally assumed they were going to interview me."
"Then what?"
Adam pressed on with eager anticipation.
"Then he gave an interview."
Lily said eagerly, "The interview went like this..."
Then, she vividly described the scene at that time.
As soon as Ted received the call, he excitedly covered the microphone and told Lily and the others, "It's an interview from Architectural Vision Weekly!"
Then, with a tactical lean back, he happily told the reporter, "Wow! I've been a loyal reader of yours since I was a kid."
The reporter on the other end of the phone was taken aback by this. "Wow, that's too exaggerated... Well, I'm calling to interview you about your latest work."
"This one?"
Ted began modestly. "This isn't exactly my work alone; I mean, I'll be working with at least three partners."
Wow, a multiplayer scene! That's great!
The reporter on the other end of the phone was very satisfied with this answer.
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it."
Ted still hadn't figured out the problem, and continued to spout off witty remarks with double meanings, "I mean, they'll exhaust me because they're all very good men!"
"A man? Wow, this is some juicy gossip!"
The reporter on the other end of the phone immediately became excited.
"This interview lasted for more than twenty minutes!"
Ted said in a frenzy.
As a self-disciplined writer, determined to present the public with a true picture of celebrities through his sincere words, this A-W reporter published their classic (flirtatious) dialogue in full.
Here's a short excerpt from a magazine article: Ted Mosby, a legendary newcomer in action films, has such high standards for his latest work that I'll quote him directly: 'I've lost count of how many nights I've spent hunched over my desk...'
Adam burst out laughing.
Emmm.
This writer/reporter is truly self-disciplined.
Of course, he didn't need to fabricate wild and unfounded stories like Murong Zi.
Because Ted didn't simply weld the car doors shut; he welded shut all the imaginative worlds.
The real flirtation is the kind that's invisible and unrestrained!
The group chatted about Ted's "unexpected romance" for a while longer, then clutched their stomachs and stopped the conversation.
If they kept talking, Adam would have to take Lily and the others to the hospital.
"Marshall, what's the important business you're talking about?"
Adam asked.
"Oh, is that so?"
When this was mentioned, Marshall smiled seriously, his joy evident. "We're getting ready to buy a house."
Is that so?
Adam glanced at Lily, who was smiling awkwardly but politely, "Congratulations, but have you already bought it?"
"Not yet."
Lily shook her head and said, "Marshall took a fancy to an apartment. We were supposed to think it over carefully and then pretend we didn't like it to try and negotiate a lower price. But he got too excited and grabbed me, yelling, 'Baby, I love this apartment so much, let's buy it!' which put us in a very passive position."
"Then what?"
Adam narrowed his eyes.
But then she remembered the time Marshall and Lily were scammed when they bought the house.
He originally planned for Marshall and Lily to buy a house next to Chandler and Monica's, so they could become happy neighbors.
However, due to their work and personalities, Marshall and Lily didn't really want to buy a detached house in the suburbs; they preferred an apartment in the city.
Firstly, it makes work more convenient.
Secondly, they are both people who really enjoy going to bars and like lively atmospheres.
Although the suburbs have a nice environment, they are somewhat deserted.
Adam mentioned it twice, and then stopped.
After all, this is Marshall and Lily's house, so it should be decorated according to their preferences.
But just because Adam doesn't care about Marshall and Lily's house-buying choices doesn't mean he'll stand by and watch them get scammed.
"You've already bought it?"
No, not at all.
Marshall shook his head. "I was originally planning to do that, but Lily said she wanted to discuss it with you. Before I could even contact you, our real estate agent, upon hearing your name, asked if we knew you. Then she told us not to make a decision yet, that she could take us to see a few more houses, and we could decide later."
"She seems to know you."
Lily reminded her.
"What's her name?"
Adam seemed to be deep in thought.
Janice Littman.
Marshall and Lily said in unison.
"OMG!"
Adam couldn't help but let out a classic exclamation.
"Right!"
Marshall and Lily's eyes lit up when they heard this. "It's her!"
Her features are so distinctive that a single sigh is enough to make the whole world know her – that's Janice!
I never expected it to be such a coincidence.
Shuren Zhou said: No Coincidence, No Story.
As I see now.
P. S.: With this chapter, I wish all my readers a Happy Lunar New Year's Eve and a prosperous Year of the Ox! Starting tomorrow morning, your energy will exceed your imagination, and everyone will exclaim OMG!
