I, Doctor in the US
Chapter 297 296 Anne's Peculiar Question
High, that certainly refers to Gao Yuanyuan.
This is how Europeans and Americans speak.
But, this really confused Zhou Mo Sen.
"Hmm...why?"
That one word 'why' carried so much emotion.
A simple word, but it contained feelings of helplessness, innocence, and being wronged, among others.
At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen was no longer just a doctor; he'd become an actor!
Influenced by the surroundings, his acting skills truly improved.
Well then, regarding Anne...
"No, that's not it."
Hmm?
Such a strange reaction and answer.
What's going on with Anne?
Zhou Mo Sen was prepared to continue his act, but now... he couldn't go on.
Moreover, he got serious and earnest.
"What happened exactly? Is it me... Did I...?"
There was some guilt in Zhou Mo Sen's words, which was appropriate, considering he's seemed distant from Anne lately.
But Anne didn't mind.
"Don't think like that; I was busy filming before. The director of 'Brokeback Mountain' had a lot of demands."
She laughed.
This meant things were fine.
But then why...?
While Zhou Mo Sen was puzzled, Anne gave the answer.
"It seems like men really like Eastern girls."
Ah?
Zhou Mo Sen found it hard to believe his ears upon hearing this.
Didn't Anne have a lot of confidence?
She was quite the elite.
Why is it like this now?
How strange.
But Zhou Mo Sen noticed something.
It was that Anne didn't feel inferior at that moment.
Was she stating a fact?
No, it's what she considered a fact.
So this matter...
Zhou Mo Sen suddenly thought of something.
"Madam Butterfly?"
At this utterance, Anne Hathaway was truly shocked.
"You, you actually..."
Did he really guess right?
Judging by Anne's expression, he did guess right.
But what's the deal here?
Zhou Mo Sen was smart, but this time guessing right wasn't really related to intelligence.
This matter actually had something to do with Zhou Mo Sen being a doctor.
In Europe and America, someone proposed a kind of disease.
Yellow fever.
This disease isn't the mosquito-bite kind from Chinese medicine.
There's a specialized term, 'yellow-fever'.
What does it mean?
It's Madam Butterfly.
As long as you understand the plot of Madam Butterfly, you'll understand this disease.
The plot is quite simple, originally based on a true story but exaggerated.
Simply put, it's a foreigner in Japan who meets an Eastern beauty, falls head over heels in love.
But she's married.
So they didn't end up together, but later on, he keeps thinking about her.
Then later...
The general idea is that such a beautiful Eastern beauty shouldn't be possessed by a despicable Eastern man.
Only white people should possess Eastern beauties.
That's basically the idea of Madam Butterfly, though many things evolved from it.
Many Westerners consider it classic, believing the love is worth celebrating.
But actually... the root is just this.
Moreover, many similar works emerged afterwards.
Like Miss Saigon.
In these works, almost without exception, the white male is tall, mighty, handsome, and wealthy.
And Asian Eastern men are, without exception, particularly sleazy, either short or greasy, always using power to manipulate women.
It's truly disgusting.
The key is, in Madam Butterfly, the white man just plays and leaves, behaviorally not even better than the woman's original husband.
Yet it became art in Europe and America.
Yes, not only art but also classic.
Madam Butterfly and Miss Saigon are very similar; the latter is even just made up.
But they're continuously brought to the stage and made into films.
Such phenomena... have been defined by some European and American scholars.
Yellow fever!
Yes, the disease was defined by European and American scholars.
To put it bluntly, they're tired of seeing these white men, each one indulging and ultimately abandoning.
But that's not right.
What's happening with Anne now?
Of course, Zhou Mo Sen is not a white man; he is an Eastern man, a Chinese.
And Zhou Mo Sen actually understood Anne's thoughts.
That is, Anne was influenced by works like Madam Butterfly, forming a 'view'.
White women are inferior to yellow women.
Yes, the logic here flows.
Since white men are feverish for yellow, conversely, white women might think this way.
The key is, Anne isn't admitting defeat; rather, she thinks...
Do men all prefer Eastern beauties like Gao Yuanyuan?
That's right, that's the idea.
Zhou Mo Sen guessed correctly; why else would Anne be so surprised?
After guessing correctly, then what?
"Actually, I think they're gentler than us, only there's this... and that..."
Anne inexplicably felt a bit flustered.
She wasn't losing to Gao Yuanyuan; she was losing to Zhou Mo Sen.
Zhou Mo Sen seemed to see right through her.
Actually, Anne always prided herself on being smart, a top student, etc... essentially, she was quite proud.
But suddenly, appeared Zhou Mo Sen, someone even more brilliant than her.
This... well, Zhou Mo Sen is a doctor, inherently a top student, directly overshadowing Anne.
Thus, Anne seems... to have met a life opponent.
Her and him...
Zhou Mo Sen didn't speak further, he directly kissed Anne's lips.
Well, indeed, the taste was still so wonderful.
Only after a long while did they part,
Then their gazes met, as if everything just now was superfluous, as if it would have been nice to have done this sooner.
What's next...
"Do you want my answer?"
"No, I want your..."
Hmm, does it even need to be said what he wants?
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen missed Anne's body too.
She was really great, indeed.
They quickly got into the mood, just as before, writing a novel while discussing the plot.
Was that a plot?
Just like now, no need to add anything else.
Anyhow, as they once again deeply understood each other,
They both breathed a sigh of relief.
So strange, yet not strange.
But Anne still asked a very peculiar question.
"You'll eventually marry a Chinese woman as a wife, right?"
This question was such a buzzkill.
Zhou Mo Sen's response was very simple.
He let her understand the true meaning of 18CM.
And interestingly, the more this happened,
The more Anne's smile increased.
Turns out, she was provoking all along, wasn't she?
Or perhaps some emotions she herself didn't know.
Maybe she was worried about something.
But now, there's no way to think too much about it.
Shake it...
