I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 399 What a miserable life I lived before!

A relatively quiet coffee shop on a street corner in New York.

The decoration is very rustic, but very artistic.

The blue tile floor and white wooden boards make people feel like they are in the south of France.

Zhou Qiao and the others have also been to the south of France and are quite familiar with the style there.

Ava didn't like coffee, so she ordered a lavender-flavored hot chocolate drink and a cappuccino.

Elena ordered a cup of espresso with parmesan cheese, berries, honey and almond brittle. There was an abstract cartoon smiling face painted on the cup, which was very cute.

Now they are not afraid of gaining weight and can eat desserts as they please. Because these days alone, the number of walking steps per day is more than 30,000, and the added calories are not enough to burn.

Zhou Qiao was a judge during the day, and the two of them went shopping and eating. They continued to accompany Zhou Qiao in the evening. If their physical strength was a little weak, they might not be able to bear it.

Zhou Qiao brought a cup of pure coffee without any additives. The clerk ground and brewed lightly roasted beans. The skills were very high. The taste was very rich, mellow, sour but not bitter, with a natural floral and fruity flavor.

Because being too enthusiastic can scare away customers. There are also many social terrorists among foreigners.

As for Sophie next to her, her academic qualifications are slightly lacking, but otherwise she is fine. In fact, she doesn't really like it. She can only say that there is no best one, so she just picked a second-rate one and made do with it.

In the United States, social phobia is a serious disease, not something to be laughed at. A survey report shows that there are more than 1500 million people with social terrorism in the United States, and some start to develop symptoms at the age of 12. More than 36% have a history of more than ten years.

Of course, she also has requirements for her partner. She will keep away those who are ugly, those with infectious diseases, those with bad personalities, those with bad hobbies, those with low education... Anyway, there are many screening conditions.

The good news is that sociophobia is treatable. As long as you cooperate actively and through treatment methods such as drug treatment and behavioral cognitive modification, it can indeed be cured. Both adults and children.

Grace is such a unique medical girl, how could Zhou Qiao not share it with Elena and Ava after returning?
Due to the secret mischief of rival Marity Wittman, the fact that Grace is a lesbian has long been spread in the circle.

Although in European and American countries, junior high school students and high school students are qualified for many positions, in fact, European and American countries still attach great importance to academic qualifications. People with high academic qualifications have a sense of superiority, and doctorate status is a symbol of superiority and civilization.

"What's wrong?" Elena and Ava asked in surprise, then looked back and saw two girls walking in very intimately. But they were not found.

It’s not good to be famous and become an Internet celebrity, but it’s okay, just face it calmly.

The boss and the store clerk recognized Zhou Qiao and the twin princesses, and were honored to come over and ask for a photo. Zhou Qiao and the twin girls looked at each other and agreed with a smile.

She is an outstanding Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School and the champion of the National Young Doctors Surgery Competition. Of course, she has certain thresholds when choosing a mate, and she is not the kind to be greedy.

But treatment costs money and requires a professional doctor.

That way you don't have to hunt for them one by one.

Elena immediately lowered her voice and chuckled: "So that short-haired girl is the Grace you mentioned."

As long as you have enough money, the society will probably turn you into a social cow.

"The desserts here taste really good." Ava praised.

The boss and the clerk took photos with Zhou Qiao and others, chatted briefly, and after the drinks were served, they never came to disturb them again.

Zhou Qiao introduced a few words in a low voice.

Many times, Grace herself didn’t know why she kept searching again and again. But I just can't find the kind of girl who I can stay with for a lifetime and let myself be devoted to them.

However, Grace didn't care, she was very excited and proud. Because after word spreads, maybe some fans with the same interest will come to you?

The three of them were enjoying the food. Suddenly, Zhou Qiao's eyes lit up and he looked at the door.

Among them, the most obvious performance is the Germans. After Germans get a doctorate, they can add this title to their ID card!
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 a doctor's house will be marked: This is the residence of Dr. So-and-so.

For example, German Chancellor Merkel holds a master's degree in physics and a doctorate in quantum chemistry from the University of Leipzig. Therefore, the public's honorific title for her is not "Your Excellency Chancellor", but "Dr. Merkel".

If you have two doctorate degrees, it will be even more awesome. Important information such as ID card, passport, house number, etc. must be marked with double doctorate degrees.

And there are strict legal regulations for these labels, and you can't just write them yourself. This is to maintain the authority, preciousness and superiority of higher education.

In Germany, most children from lower-income families are separated from elementary school. What kind of job you will do when you grow up will be arranged for you in elementary school.

Want to break the circle? Feel sorry! You are too stupid, your IQ is too low, and you are not qualified to go to college!

Although Grace is an American, it is not that exaggerated. However, as a doctor of medicine from a top university, her family is wealthy, and her social status is high, it is understandable that she wants to choose a good partner.

Unfortunately, even in the open United States, the number of people who share the same interests with her is definitely less than 1%, so choosing a mate is very difficult.

A well-known research institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, recently released a research report showing that nearly 1390 million adults in the United States are LGBTQ+, accounting for approximately 5.5% of the total population.

This proportion is consistent with previous research. Among this group, only 11.7% are lesbians, accounting for 0.64% of the total population.

Even if there is an error in the result, it is still pretty much the same.

Grace has been looking for girlfriends since she was a child. Has she ever found a good one? No!
This is one of the reasons why Dr. Albert, Grace's father, is worried. Even if you are looking for same-sex marriage, it is difficult to find a suitable one. As for the current Sophie, the little nurse in the hospital, Dr. Albert does not like her.

But he doted on his daughter, so he didn't stop her. After all, among the many beautiful female doctors and nurses in the entire hospital, Sophie was the only one.

Sometimes Dr. Albert thinks to himself, if it doesn't work out, then just accept Sophie.

We can't let our daughter live her whole life alone.

When Grace heard the laughter, she looked over and saw Zhou Qiao at a glance. I thought to myself, why did I meet this man again?

Zhou Qiao's eyes were clear, and he waved his hand to greet her: "What a coincidence."

Grace sneered: "What a coincidence, Dr. Zhou."

"Want to come over and join us?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"No." Grace declined. Who wants to be with you?

At this time, the twin girls, 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 look back immediately was because Elena and Ava were still laughing just now and couldn't hold it back.

It's not that they discriminated against Grace, but, remembering what Zhou Qiao said before, they just looked at each other from the crowd, maybe with a little admiration, but were given a look of disgust by Grace.

Zhou Qiao is so handsome. After his transformation, his appearance and other aspects have improved. He is a rare outstanding man in the world, but he rarely shrinks in front of girls.

They were laughing, but Zhou Qiao also felt frustrated at times.

"Ah~, good evening... good evening..." Grace saw the twins' stunning beauty, and suddenly her breathing became rapid and her heart beat like a deer.

She had been focusing on her doctoral thesis before, and went to Massachusetts General Hospital just after graduation. Under the supervision of her father, she immersed herself in surgical training and practice, preparing for the national competition, and flirting around in the hospital when she had a little free time. Beauty, although I have heard of Zhou Qiao and Iris Clinic in far western California, I really haven’t put too much effort into it.

Human energy is limited, and Grace resists short videos. She has never even downloaded the APP and feels that it is a waste of time and has no value or meaning.

At this time, seeing the beautiful twins, I immediately became short of breath, which is understandable.

Next to her, her girlfriend Sophie felt sad and pinched Grace with some resentment. I wonder if you can pay more attention to your image. Looking at beautiful women in front of me is too obvious, right?

"Come and join us, the dazzling champion doctor." Elena waved her hand and extended the invitation.

"OK! Thank you!" Grace immediately wanted to come over, but was held back by Sophie beside her.

Sophie didn't want to.

Grace glared at her and dragged the reluctant Sophie over.

Sophie: "..." She was as resentful as a little daughter-in-law. She was naturally at a disadvantage when she was dating Grace.

Zhou Qiao: "..." I asked you but you couldn't come over. Elena waved, but you just made a fuss. This is what he did!

He glared at Elena and said in his heart, don't play with fire, or she will get involved with you.

Of course, Zhou Qiao was not worried at all that Elena and Ava would suffer. The orientation of these two girls was normal, and Grace could not take advantage at all.

If Grace really used force, either Elena or Ava could subdue her with one hand.

Even pregnant Murphy and Stephanie could subdue her with one hand.

Besides, Grace is not some hooligan, but a highly qualified medical genius from a well-off family.

She harassed the beautiful female doctors and nurses in the hospital, which meant just chatting with them, inviting them to date, and sending out some hints. The kind of person who, after being rejected, knows it's impossible and doesn't continue.

Zhou Qiao and the others were sitting at a rectangular table with three seats on each side, the kind that could accommodate six people.

Elena and Ava were sitting opposite Zhou Qiao, and there was only one seat left next to them, so Grace had no choice but to sit next to Zhou Qiao, face to face with Elena.

Sophie sat down next to Grace.

"Hello, my name is Grace. May I have the honor of knowing your names?" Grace started chatting with the twin girls as soon as she sat down, without even ordering food.

A pair of smart beautiful eyes looked at Elena and Ava aggressively. She had never seen such beautiful beauties, or a couple.

She was already imagining the beautiful scene of going to the sea with her twin girls in bikinis, lying leisurely on the deck, basking in the sun, and applying sunscreen to each other.

Sophie beside her said angrily: "They are the princesses of the Nordic royal family!"

I feel sour in my heart and say, don’t think that you have a doctorate from a prestigious university and a good family background, but you are far behind other people’s princesses. They are from a truly wealthy family, so will their princess like you?

Besides, I haven’t heard that these famous twin princesses have the same interests and hobbies as us.

Sophie made a sad face and was about to cry!
"Oh?" Grace was stunned and turned to ask Sophie, "How do you know?"

"Of course I know!" Sophie curled her lips, took out her mobile phone, opened the short video APP, and searched for videos of twin beauties. She said angrily: "You don't usually browse, so of course you don't know."

Grace, who had always scorned short videos, suddenly became interested. She snatched it from Sophie's hand and watched it with gusto, as if she had opened the door to a new world!
It turns out that there are such beautiful and fun things in the world. What kind of miserable life did I live before?

……

The twin girls looked at each other, covering their mouths and snickering.

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 at it, they just thought Grace was interesting. Well, she was a bit like Murphy. She was the kind of obedient student who had never played before, but suddenly became addicted when she encountered games, short videos and the like. The feeling.

Or maybe it's like a kitten who has only eaten cat food, but suddenly sees canned cat food, tastes delicious food that it has never seen before, and meows happily.

Thinking that the other person is a genius doctor of medicine, who is much younger than ordinary doctors, it is not difficult to guess that he was immersed in studies in the past and missed a lot of things.

Grace indeed missed a lot of things. Her college career was not colorful and she never had a decent relationship. Although she kept changing her girlfriends, why did she keep changing them? Aren't you just dissatisfied?

Studying and finding a girlfriend took up almost all of her time. Among them, 90% of the energy is spent on studies, and the remaining 10% is used to find girlfriends, which is just a trivial adjustment in the intense and busy academic life.

If she eats, drinks and has fun all day long, no matter how talented she is, she will not be able to get a doctorate with outstanding performance.

Her father also did not allow her to neglect her studies.

Grace heard Zhou Qiao's "deliberate coughing", came to her senses, and immediately threw the phone to Sophie, smiled coquettishly, and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Zhou Qiao: "..."

What are these words? The preface does not match the subtext. I have already said "what a coincidence" just now.

"Sophie, what would you like to drink?" Grace returned to normal and started to order.

Sophie said bitterly: "Anything is fine."

Grace said in her heart, then whatever. She looked at Elena and Ava opposite them. They were stunningly beautiful, and she instantly felt that Sophie beside her was no longer attractive.
