Chapter 184 Drinking The Sorrows Away

“Why move to Chanaea all of a sudden?” Oscar asked while drinking straight from the bottle.

“I’ve actually been thinking of doing so for a few years now, but I had to postpone those plans because I haven’t been able to hand my work there to someone else. Now that we have an exchange program with Chanaea, I applied to be an exchange doctor here in Chanaea,” James replied while chugging away at his drink.

“Don’t they have better employee benefits over there?”

“They do, but working there isn’t challenging at all. I heard Chanaean medicine is famous for acupuncture, so I decided to move here and learn it. I could just move back after mastering it, anyway. Who knows? I might even stay here if I end up marrying a Chanaean woman! While I may not seem like it, I’m actually in my thirties now. It’s about time I settle down and start a family.”

“James… We’re friends, right?” Oscar asked when he noticed that James seemed to have something on his chest.

“Yeah, why? Do you doubt our friendship?”

“Then tell me, did something happen to you?”

James paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Oh, it’s nothing, really! I just thought I’d have a change of scenery, you know? Chanaea is a huge country filled with lots of amazing people and good food, after all! Food in Erihal is really greasy and could easily lead to cancer.”

“Pfft, that’s no problem at all! Just let me know if you need anything!” Oscar said.

James gave him a thumbs-up. “My man!”

The owner of the restaurant came over with two bowls of soup and said, “Hey, handsome! I thought I’d make you two some soup since you’ll be having a lot to drink. It’s on the house, and only handsome people get this special treatment! Feel free to come again if you like it!”

“Thank you for being so kind, beautiful. I wish you all the best in life!” James said with a smile.

The owner chuckled in amusement. “Your Chanaean is really fluent, handsome! Had it not been for your foreign appearance, I would’ve mistaken you for a local!”

“I may look foreign, but I’m a Chanaean at heart, so you can just treat me like one!”

“All right, you two carry on! I’ll get back to work now!”

“See you around, beautiful!”

Oscar waited until she left before carrying on eating.

“Hey, Oz, I remember you complaining about how dirty this place was when I got you to eat here with me back then. Heck, you even refused to take a single bite and just glared at me the whole time! So, what’s changed you, huh?” James asked.

“She likes the food here,” Oscar replied, obviously referring to Amelia.
