Extra: Xie Qingtang ③
After Xie Qingtang turned thirty, his marriage became a source of anxiety for Gu Zhenying.
“Tell Mom what kind of person you like, and Mom will find them for you. It doesn’t have to be someone of equal social standing or outstanding, as long as they have normal values, Mom will agree to anything.”
Xie Qingtang wasn't interested and casually said, "You can't find it."
Gu Zhenying: "You tell me first!"
"I don't have anyone I like, so you won't find anyone."
"..."
In the end, Xie Qingtang naturally received a scolding from Gu Zhenying.
Xie Qingtang didn't not want to get married; he just hadn't met the person he wanted to marry, and he didn't want to settle.
Rather than marrying someone you don't like and feeling uncomfortable, it's better to stay single and enjoy life.

Xie Qingtang heard about Zhang Qin's divorce from Xie Qingxi.
At that time, Xie Qingtang was abroad visiting his retired teacher.
Xie Qingxi's dissatisfied voice came through the receiver: "Brother, are you even listening to me?"
Xie Qingtang hummed in agreement. "You made a special overseas call to me just for this?"
"What's wrong with this? Isn't this important?" Xie Qingxi was even more dissatisfied. "No matter what, Miss Zhang is the woman who stole your first kiss and pursued you for so long, and you..."
Xie Qingtang watched the figure approaching from afar through the frost and snow, and interrupted him, "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
He watched her approach quietly, and watched her smile and call out, "Xie Qingtang!"

To be honest, Xie Qingtang had no intention of rekindling her relationship with Zhang Qin, after all, so many years had passed.
Besides, the male models at the nightclub are younger than him and know how to charm women better than an old man like him, so it's normal that she prefers to hang out with them.
She didn't want to live across from him, so he could move out. His dormitory application, submitted the day before yesterday, had been approved, and he planned to move in as soon as he finished his work. Suddenly, he received a call from Xie Qingxi saying she was leaving.
Xie Qingtang didn't think much of it at the time, but by the time he came to his senses, he was already back at the apartment door, but he didn't have the key to open it.
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself; when did he become such a forgetful person?
Just as Xie Qingtang was about to go back to get the keys, she saw Zhang Qin leaving. Xie Qingtang thought it would be good to say goodbye, so she invited her out for dinner.
If Xie Qingxi hadn't organized that outdoor barbecue, if he hadn't been forced to drink, if she hadn't kissed him while he was drunk, perhaps things would really have been over, just like he told Xie Qingxi. He would have moved out of the apartment, continued his routine of going to and from work, and occasionally, to appease his mother, he would have gone on a blind date.
That night, Xie Qingtang felt both amused and helpless when she was taken advantage of.
The funny thing is that she seems to have not changed at all over the years, but the sad thing is that she still only craves his body.
Xie Qingtang never considered himself a saint; he was a normal man with desires. He didn't go all the way with her for two reasons: firstly, his words were really ruining the atmosphere, and secondly, he didn't want her to get her way so easily.
They take advantage of you and then run away; they're really dreaming.
If she insists on remaining just friends, he won't stop her from leaving.
But if you flirt, you have to take responsibility.
Even if her mother hadn't come to take her passport that night, he wouldn't have let her leave.

Xie Qingtang guessed that Zhang Qin might not have had a good time in the Sun family all these years, but he did not expect that her relationship with the Sun family would be so bad that they would fight in the street.
I never imagined that I would one day bully others by abusing my power.
Compared to the Xie family, the Sun family was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
"Sun Po is in a cold weather" may not be a joke.
