381: Chapter 379 Chaos 381: Chapter 379 Chaos After Catherine’s parents had left, the atmosphere in the hospital room beca even more awkward, at least that’s what Gao Yang felt.
After a mont of silence, Adele suddenly said, “Crap, my sexual orientation seems to have changed again.
Yelena, you’d better keep an eye on your boyfriend, lest I accidentally snatch him away.”
Yelena scoffed, “Hey, Adele, please maintain so dignity as a lesbian, will you?
Aren’t you a staunch feminist?
Are you still a lesbian?
Hey, you’re discussing snatching my boyfriend in front of your girlfriend, you realize you’re offending two won at once, right?”
Adele waved her hand dismissively and then let out a sigh, “Please, I always thought I was an advocate for singlehood, but after eting Catherine, I realized I liked won.
And now, after going through so much, I’ve realized again that I like n—isn’t that normal?
As for my dear Catherine, the reason she isn’t my girlfriend yet is that she went to see your boyfriend in South Africa again, and now you know, she also likes your boyfriend.
So, I don’t have to carry any psychological burden in pursuing your boyfriend—at worst, I’ll go from being Catherine’s suitor to her rival, that’s all.”
Yelena smiled smugly, “Adele, I must admit you have good taste.
My boyfriend is indeed very, very good, good enough to change your sexual orientation, which makes proud.
However, I regret to tell you that you don’t stand a chance, so I advise you to hurry up and find another man you like.”
Adele pouted, “Who told you I’m looking for a boyfriend?
I’ve realized I’m bisexual, but my liking for the opposite sex is limited to your boyfriend, Gao Yang.
If Gao Yang doesn’t like , then I’ll just continue being a lesbian.
But my liking for the sa sex is limited to Catherine.
If Catherine also refuses my pursuit, then I’ll just revert to my singlehood.
Whichever outco, I’ll gladly accept it.
You know, soone with many options is likely to find a way to solve their problems.
Of course, for , the best option would be dating both Gao Yang and Catherine at the sa ti—that’s the most appealing choice, indeed, the temptation is quite strong.”
Yelena, feeling helpless, patted her forehead and said, “Adele, I always thought you were perverted, and now I realize you genuinely are.”
Adele nodded earnestly, “That’s right, my ntal processes are abnormal.
In layman’s terms, I’m what people call perverted, but I’ve gotten much better now, at least I’m approaching normalcy.”
Yelena sighed helplessly, “Normal?
You think you’re normal?
Please, you’re far from normal, thank you.”
After pondering for a mont, Adele let out a sigh, “Okay, maybe I’m still not normal, but regardless, I’m trying to fit into your world.
Actually, Yelena, by law, you and Gao haven’t married, so I’m completely eligible to pursue him, right?
Of course, from a normal moral standpoint, it’s wrong to poach a friend’s boyfriend, but that’s just a moral issue.”
Catherine, lying on the hospital bed, couldn’t bear to listen anymore and spoke with a tearful expression, “Please, Adele, stop talking.
Look at Gao Yang’s face; you’ve scared him to death.”
After hearing Catherine’s words, Adele looked over at Gao Yang and switched to a look of resignation, “Fine, I’ll stop.
But now I’m certain that I like Gao Yang, so I’m planning to pursue both you and Gao Yang, Catherine.
If both of us were to marry Gao Yang, wouldn’t that be a perfect choice for us?”
Gao Yang didn’t know what to say, all he felt now was how chaotic everything was, fucking chaotic!
Gao Yang was more than just startled; he was utterly dumbfounded.
God be his witness, Gao Yang truly loved only Yelena and harbored no desire for more, not the slightest intention.
But now things were becoming complicated.
Gao Yang decided to imdiately quash Adele’s ideas; he didn’t want to ss with this woman who clearly had so psychological issues.
Too scary.
Seeing Gao Yang about to speak, Yelena, looking resigned, waved her hands and loudly said, “Adele, you have the right to pursue Gao Yang, but I assure you, he won’t break up with .”
Adele spoke earnestly, “That’s all right.
If he doesn’t want to break up with you, then he can be my lover.
You know I don’t mind.”
Yelena was on the verge of going crazy.
Clenching both fists, she yelled, “Oh God, shut your mouth and let finish.
You emotionally unintelligent idiot, listen.
Love is selfish; I can’t tolerate Gao having a lover.
Got it?
Now tell , what do I have to do for you to give up this perverted idea?
Na your terms!”
Adele pondered a mont, then said, “Hmm, you want terms?
Alright, I hope he can be my boyfriend for a year.”
Yelena imdiately stated firmly, “Impossible.
Listen to , Adele, you don’t stand a chance.
Gao’s and my relationship is solid; you won’t get a chance to be his lover, nor to snatch him away.
So, I want you to switch back to lesbian mode right now, then leave this place, and give Gao and Catherine so privacy, you genius idiot!”
After several changes in expression, Adele stated seriously, “Then give a kiss, and I’ll leave.
But, I must retain the right to pursue Gao.
Of course, I might not do so, because you are my friends, and I cherish our friendship.
So, I don’t want to turn you both into my rivals.”
Yelena, relieved, pressed her palms together towards Gao Yang, “Darling, please, kiss her once and end this nightmare.
I’m begging you.”
Gao Yang’s face was filled with panic as he said, “Can soone tell what the hell is going on?”
Catherine sighed, “Gao, please, give her a kiss and end this nightmare.”
Yelena gestured behind Adele that just a light peck would do, and then hurriedly said, “I’ll explain later, but for the love of beauty, since Adele is a beauty, kiss her.”
Adele held out a finger, saying, “You take the initiative.”
After speaking, Adele closed her eyes.
Gao Yang’s facial muscles twitched as he, encouraged by Yelena’s frantic gestures, braced himself.
He gave Adele’s lips a light peck like a dragonfly skimming the water and then quickly retreated.
After licking her lips, Adele looked puzzled and said, “Strange, I don’t feel much.
Why are you so enthusiastic about a lover’s kiss?”
Yelena imdiately grabbed Adele’s arm and, while pulling her out, she said to Gao Yang, “Darling, I know you love a lot, and rember I love you very much too, but I’m giving you a chance to be alone with Catherine right now, see you in a bit.”
Yelena dragged Adele out of the ward, leaving only Gao Yang and Catherine.
Gao Yang and Yelena’s world had been just fine, but their carefree love life beca complicated with a trip to the Southern Ocean with Catherine.
Adding Catherine alone was chaotic enough, but now it had turned into a three-way battle.
Gao Yang walked over to Catherine’s bed, his face filled with confusion and panic, and said, “What is going on, can you explain this to ?”
Catherine, on the verge of tears, closed her eyes and said with no strength left, “Now I’d rather die than face this embarrassing situation.
God, how did I co to be friends with Adele?”
After that, Catherine opened her eyes and with a bitter smile, said, “Adele is a genius.
She has a Ph.D.
in Psychology, a Ph.D.
in Law, now she has a Master’s degree in Animal Behavior, and is about to get a Ph.D.
degree as well.
But Adele has almost zero emotional intelligence; her thought patterns are different from normal people.
In so ways, she could be called an idiot.”
Gao Yang said with a wry smile, “To tell the truth, I’ve noticed, but I didn’t see it before.”
Catherine also said with a wry smile, “To her, the world is very simple; all things fall into two categories, what she likes and dislikes, and it’s the sa with people.
Before, when she t soone she disliked, she would treat them like air, but when encountering soone she liked, she would show her most passionate side.
She’s been considered a freak since she was young, and nobody likes a freak.
Fortunately, Adele has grown a lot; when dealing with ordinary people, she can barely pass as normal now.
Sadly, you and I have now been classified by her as the ones she likes, and so, she imdiately shows her abnormal side.”
Gao Yang, stunned, said, “So, you’re saying Adele is crazy?”
Catherine shook her head, “No, she’s not crazy, just that her emotional intelligence is far less developed than her IQ.
Adele’s IQ is 185, as high as Galileo’s, but her emotional intelligence is probably about the sa as a four or five-year-old child’s.
You must have noticed, in terms of handling emotions, her way of thinking doesn’t differ from a child’s.”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “Hard to imagine, what a genius with an IQ of 185 but with the thought patterns of a five-year-old child would be like.”
Catherine hesitated, then said with a bitter smile, “Actually, considering Adele’s extre possessiveness in love, and how little it takes to make her happy, the psychologists analyzed that her emotional intelligence, in terms of relationships, is probably under three years old.
According to her own analysis, she’s at the developntal stage of an infant, sowhere between two years and eight months to three years and four months.
However, you don’t need to treat her as a child; in other aspects, she’s at least at the emotional level of a fifteen-year-old.”
Gao Yang shook his head vigorously and, in resignation, said, “Forget it, never mind Adele.
If she is like a child, then we might as well appease her like one.”
After putting the topic of Adele aside, Gao Yang looked at Catherine, her body covered with monitoring equipnt and both her arms hooked up to IV tubes, and his heart softened.
Gao Yang had originally intended to tell Catherine straightforwardly that there was no possibility between them anymore, but seeing Catherine’s pitiful state, especially knowing she was like this because she tried to save Yelena, swallowed back what he had prepared to say.
Instead, he said, “Catherine, I, I’m very grateful to you.
Damn, I don’t know what to say.”
Catherine gave a gracious smile and said, “Gao, I don’t want to ruin your relationship with Yelena, and I never thought about doing that, so let’s just forget everything ever happened, as if it never did.”
Gao Yang nodded, but then shook his head again and said with a wry smile, “To pretend as if nothing happened, that’s impossible.”
Catherine sighed softly and said, “Sorry, I’ve really caused a lot of trouble for you guys.
If only I hadn’t said anything to Yelena before, I’m sorry, I thought I was a goner back then, I didn’t want to take my true feelings to the grave, so I told Yelena what was in my heart.
I admit, I was selfish at that mont.”
Gao Yang, scratching his head anxiously, said, “Don’t be silly, you’re so noble you could be a saint.
That has nothing to do with being selfish.
But what now?
I did have strong feelings for you, but I’m with Yelena now, and I’m not soone who can share love.
Damn, I don’t know what to say, it seems my emotional intelligence is on par with Adele’s.”
Catherine laughed again and said, “Well, if you want to repay , then give a kiss.
It can’t be like the perfunctory one for Adele, though.
I want a passionate kiss, one kiss to end our impossible love, and then let’s just continue to be regular friends.” (To be continued.
