Chapter 399: What a hard life I had before!
A quieter coffee shop on a New York street corner.
The dΓ©cor is rustic, but very artistic.
With blue tiled floors and white wooden planks, it makes you feel like you're in the south of France.
Zhou Qiao and the others have also been to the south of France, and they are quite familiar with the style there.
Ava didn't like coffee, so she ordered a lavender-flavored hot chocolate drink and ordered another cappuccino.
Elena asked for a cup of espresso with mozzarella, berries, honey and almond crunch, and an abstract cartoon smiley face painted on the cup.
They are not afraid of gaining weight now, and they can eat dessert as much as they want. Because these days alone, the number of steps walked a day is more than 30,000 steps, and the extra calories are not enough to burn.
Zhou Qiao was a judge during the day, and the two of them went around to eat and eat, and continued to accompany Zhou Qiao at night, if their physical strength was a little worse, they might not be able to bear it.
Zhou Qiao came to a cup of pure coffee without any additives, shallow roasted beans, the clerk grinded and brewed, the skills were very superb, the entrance was very rich, mellow, sour and not bitter, with a natural flower and fruit flavor.
The boss and the clerk recognized Zhou Qiao and the twin princesses, and were very honored to come over and ask for a group photo, Zhou Qiao and the twin sisters glanced at each other and agreed with a smile.
is famous, and this is not good after becoming an Internet celebrity, but it's nothing, just face it calmly.
The boss and the clerk took a group photo with Zhou Qiao and them, chatted briefly, and when the drink came up, they didn't come over to bother.
Because being too enthusiastic will scare away customers. There are also many social phobes among foreigners.
In the United States, social phobia is a serious illness, not a joke. According to a survey report, there are more than 15 million people in the United States who are socially phobic, and some of them start getting sick at the age of 12. More than 36% had a medical history of more than 10 years.
The good news is that social phobia can be cured. As long as you actively cooperate, it can indeed be cured through treatment methods such as medication and behavioral cognitive modification. Both adults and children.
But it costs money to treat a disease, and you have to find a professional doctor.
As long as the money is sufficient, social fear will also turn you into a social cow.
"The desserts here taste really good." Ava praised.
The three of them were enjoying the food, and suddenly, Zhou Qiao's eyes lit up and he looked at the door.
"What's wrong?" Elena and Ava asked in surprise, then looked back to see that it was two girls walking in very intimately. But they were not found.
Zhou Qiao whispered a few words.
Elena suddenly lowered her voice and laughed, "It turns out that the short-haired girl is the Grace you said." β
Grace is such a distinctive medical girl, how could Zhou Qiao not share it with Elena and Ava after she goes back?
Because of the rival Mariti Wittman secretly making things bad, now, Grace is Lala's affair, and it has long been spread in the circle.
However, Grace didn't care, she was excited and proud. Because after the spread spreads, perhaps, there will be some enthusiasts with the same interest who will take the initiative to come to the door?
That way, you don't have to hunt for colors one by one.
Of course, she also has requirements for the other half, for those who are ugly, have infectious diseases, have bad personalities, have bad habits, and have low education...... It's going to be far away, anyway, there are a lot of filters.
She is an excellent doctor from Harvard Medical School and the champion of the National Young Doctor Surgery Competition.
As for Sophie next to her, she is slightly lacking in education, and everything else is fine. In fact, she doesn't like it much, she can only say that there is no best, so she picks the first one, and she will be settled.
Many times, Grace herself doesn't know why she is searching for it again and again. I can't find the kind of girl who can stay with them for a lifetime and let herself die for them.
Although in Europe and the United States, many junior high school students and high school students can be competent, but in fact, European and American countries still attach great importance to academic qualifications. People with high academic qualifications have a sense of superiority, and doctoral status is a symbol of high and civilization.
The most obvious of these is the Germans. Germans can add this title to their ID cards after getting a PhD!
Not only ID cards, but also passports, house numbers, tombstones after death...... Anyway, everything that can be added will be added.
For example, the house number of the doctor's house will be marked with the following words: This is the residence of Dr. so-and-so.
For example, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has a master's degree in physics and a doctorate in quantum chemistry from the University of Leipzig, so the public's honorific title for her is not "Your Excellency Chancellor", but "Dr. Merkel".
If you have two doctorates, it will be even more awesome, and important information such as ID cards, passports, and house numbers must indicate double doctorates.
And there are strict legal norms for these labels, and you can't write them yourself. This is to maintain the authority, preciousness and superiority of high academic qualifications.
In Germany, most children from low-income families begin to be separated from primary school, and what kind of work you will do when you grow up will be arranged for you in primary school.
Want to break the circle? I'm sorry! You're too stupid, your IQ is too low, and you're not qualified for college!
Although Grace is an American, it is not so exaggerated, but a medical doctor from a top university, a wealthy family, and a high social status, it is understandable to want to choose a good partner.
It's a pity that even in the open United States, there are definitely no more than 1% of people with her common interests, and it is very difficult to choose a mate.
A well-known UCLA institute recently released a study showing that nearly 13.9 million adults in the United States are LGBTQ+, accounting for about 5.5% of the total population.
This proportion is consistent with the results of previous studies. Of this group, only 11.7 per cent are Lala, accounting for 0.64 per cent of the total population.
Even if there is an error in the result, it is not bad.
Grace has been looking for a girlfriend since she was a child, has she ever found a good one? No!
This is one of the reasons why Grace's father, Dr. Albert, is worried, that is, even if you find a same-sex marriage, it will be difficult to find the right one. As for the current Sophie, the little nurse in the hospital, Dr. Albert is not looking down on her.
But he doted on his daughter, so he didn't stop it. After all, in the entire hospital, there are so many beautiful female doctors and nurses, and Sophie is the only one.
Sometimes Dr. Albert thought to himself, "If you can't do it, then take Sophie."
I can't let my daughter be alone for the rest of her life.
When Grace heard the laughter, she looked over and saw Zhou Qiao at a glance. The heart said, why did you meet this man again?
Zhou Qiao's eyes were very clear, and he waved his hand to greet her: "What a coincidence." β
Grace sneered, "What a coincidence, Zhou ...... Doctor. β
"Do you want to come along?" Zhou Qiao asked.
"Nope." Grace declined. The heart says who wants to be with you?
At this time, the twin sisters, who had been facing away from Grace and Sophie, also turned around and waved hello.
This is basic etiquette.
The reason why they didn't turn around for the first time was because Elena and Ava were still laughing just now and couldn't hold back.
It's not that they discriminate against Grace, but, remembering what Zhou Qiao said before, they just glanced at each other from the crowd, maybe with a little appreciation, and were cast by Grace with disgust.
Zhou Qiao is so handsome, and after his transformation, his appearance has improved in all aspects, and he is a rare excellent man in the world, but he rarely eats in front of girls.
They are laughing, and Zhou Qiao also has times when he is deflated.
"Ah~, good evening...... Good evening......" Grace saw the twins' stunning world, and suddenly her breath was short, and her heart was beating like a deer.
She had been focusing on her doctoral dissertation before, and just after graduation she went to the Massachusetts General Hospital, under the supervision of her father, she was immersed in the training and practical operation of surgery, preparing for the national competition, and flirting with beauties everywhere in the hospital when she was a little empty.
People's energy is limited, Grace is resistant to short videos, and she has never even downloaded the APP, feeling that it is purely a waste of time, worthless and meaningless.
At this time, when I saw the beautiful twins, I immediately became short of breath, which is understandable.
On the side, his girlfriend Sophie was sad for a while, and pinched Grace with some resentment. The heart said that you can pay attention to a little image and look at the beauty in front of me, this is too obvious, right?
"Come here, dazzling champion doctor." Elena waved her hand and sent out an invitation.
βOKοΌ Thank you! Grace immediately wanted to come over, but was stopped by Sophie next to her.
Sophie was reluctant.
Grace glared at her, and dragged a reluctant Sophie over.
Sophie: "......" resents like a little daughter-in-law. She is in a relationship with Grace, and she is naturally at a disadvantage.
Zhou Qiao: "...... "I told you that you can't come, Elena beckoned, and you will be in a mess." That's what I did!
He glared at Elena and said in his heart that you should not play with fire, beware of her pestering you.
Of course, Zhou Qiao is not worried that Elena and Ava will suffer at all, the orientation of these two girls is very normal, and Grace can't take advantage of it at all.
If Grace is really strong, Elena and Ava can subdue her with one hand.
Even Murphy and Stephanie are pregnant, and they can subdue her with one hand.
Besides, Grace is not a hooligan ruffian, but a well-off, high-quality medical genius.
She harassed the beautiful female doctors and nurses in the hospital, that is, she was talking to someone, asking for a date, and giving some hints. After being rejected, you know that it is impossible, so you don't continue.
Zhou Qiao and the others sat at a rectangular table, with three seats on each side, the kind that could accommodate six people.
Elena and Ava sat opposite Zhou Qiao, and there was only one seat left beside them, so Grace had to choose to sit next to Zhou Qiao and face to face with Elena.
Sophie sat down next to Grace.
"Hello, my name is Grace, may I have the privilege of knowing your name?" As soon as Grace sat down, she talked to the twin girls, and she didn't even order food.
A pair of smart eyes looked at Elena and Ava aggressively. She had never seen such a beautiful beauty, still a couple.
She was already fantasizing about going out to sea with her twin sisters in bikinis, lying on the deck in the sun and rubbing sunscreen on each other.
Sophie on the side took the initiative to say angrily: "They are princesses of the Nordic royal family!" β
My heart is sour, and my heart says don't think that you are a doctor from a famous school, and your family background is good, but you are far worse than other princesses, people are really wealthy, and other princesses will take a fancy to you?
Besides, I haven't heard that these well-known twin princesses have the same interests as we do.
Sophie had a bitter face, and she was about to cry!
"Oh?" Grace was stunned for a moment, then turned to Sophie and asked, "How do you know?" β
"Of course I do!" Sophie pursed her lips, took out her mobile phone, opened the short video APP, searched casually, it was the video of the twin beauties, and said angrily: "Usually you don't brush it, of course you don't know." β
Grace, who has always scoffed at short videos, suddenly became interested, snatched it from Sophie's hand, and watched it with relish, as if opening the door to a new world!
It turns out that there are such beautiful and fun things in the world, what kind of hard life did I live before?
β¦β¦
The twin girls glanced at each other and covered their mouths and snickered.
Zhou Qiao couldn't help coughing, reminding the twin girls to pay attention to their image and laugh at others.
Actually, the twin girls didn't mean to laugh, they just thought Grace was funny, well, a bit like Murphy, it was the kind of obedient student who had never played before, and suddenly came across games, short videos and the like, and they became addicted.
Or like the kind of kitten who has only eaten cat food, suddenly sees canned cat food, tastes delicious food that has never been seen before, and eats meow and meow.
Thinking that the other party is a genius medical doctor, far younger than an ordinary doctor, it is not difficult to guess that he was immersed in his studies before and missed a lot of things.
Grace is indeed missing out on a lot of things, her college career has not been colorful, she has not been in a decent relationship, although she has been changing girlfriends, but why has she kept changing? Isn't it just dissatisfied?
Studying and finding a girlfriend occupy almost all of her time. And among them, ninety percent of the energy spent on academics is spent on academics, and one percent is used to find a girlfriend, which is just an insignificant adjustment in the busy academic career.
If she eats, drinks and is merry all day long, no matter how talented she is, she will not be able to get a doctorate, and she will perform well.
Her father also did not allow her to neglect her studies.
Grace heard Zhou Qiao's "deliberate cough", came back to her senses, and immediately threw her phone to Sophie, smiled, and said, "What a coincidence, I met again." β
Zhou Qiao: "......"
What kind of words are this, the preface doesn't match the afterword, just now "good coincidence" has already said okay.
"Sophie, what would you like to drink?" Grace returned to normal and began to order.
Sophie said bitterly, "Anything is fine." β
Grace said heartily, then whatever. She looked at Elena and Ava opposite, the world was stunning, and she instantly felt that Sophie next to her was not fragrant.
