Compared to hanging out in bars and nightclubs, hobbies like rock climbing are very sunny. Aunt Wang's daughter is trying her best to show her best side, but Chen Tongfu didn't understand her intention.
Chen Tongfu doesn't like any outdoor sports.
When he was young, he was known as a nerd.
There was a time when China was swept by a nationwide sports craze. Everyone had their favorite sports, big or small, but Chen Tongfu didn't.
While others were playing ball, he was reading.
While others were socializing, he was reading.
He read until he saw himself admitted to Renmin University. After entering university, he continued to excel in his studies and was subsequently awarded a government-funded study abroad program. Some say that a scholar is useless, and that may be true. But that's certainly because he hasn't fully understood the book. If he did, he would find that it contains everything. The wealth that others desire but cannot obtain is sometimes just a string of numbers in an account.
"Mr. Chen?"
Chen Tongfu came back to his senses, "Sorry, I don't have any favorite sports. When I'm not working, I just read books at home."
Aunt Wang's daughter was helpless.
This person is so boring. He has no hobbies. What’s the point of living?
Fortunately, Aunt Wang was quick and efficient and quickly prepared a table of food, so Chen Tongfu no longer had to chat with Aunt Wang's daughter alone.
Aunt Wang is a good cook and she makes some of Shanghai's local dishes very authentically.
Shanghai cuisine is greatly influenced by Huaiyang cuisine, and the cooking methods of many dishes are similar. Chen Tongfu happened to like Huaiyang cuisine, so the meal was a great success for both the host and the guests.
At first, Chen Tongfu didn't realize Aunt Wang's intention until after dinner, when Aunt Wang asked her daughter if she had asked for Chen Tongfu's contact information.
"You are all young people, you can keep in touch more often."
Chen Tongfu felt that Aunt Wang's daughter was indeed a young person. A single woman lived a refined life, and her mentality and hobbies were very young. He, who was old in body but even older in heart, was not a young person at all.
Aunt Wang's daughter was very generous and asked Chen Tongfu for his phone number very naturally.
"Mr. Chen isn't from Shanghai. If there's anything you can't handle, you can ask me. If I'm not capable of doing it, I can ask my classmates and friends for help."
Chen Tongfu felt something was wrong.
If you're this enthusiastic, it goes beyond the realm of neighborly friendliness, right?
In the evening, Zou Weijun, who was on a business trip, finally had time to ask Chen Tongfu about his dinner at a neighbor's house. After hearing what Chen Tongfu had said, Zou Weijun laughed and said, "You went to a blind date dinner!"
The enthusiastic Aunt Wang wanted to make Chen Tongfu her son-in-law.
Zou Weijun was very happy.
Chen Tongfu's doubts were explained and he suddenly understood.
"What a shame! I can't go to Aunt Wang's house for dinner anymore."
"Isn't Aunt Wang's daughter good?"
"It has nothing to do with her. It's my own fault."
Since there's no such intention, why give him unnecessary hope? Aunt Wang's daughter is cheerful and generous. If she doesn't have him, she'll find other more suitable men.
Zou Weijun was very considerate and did not ask Chen Tongfu why he rejected the blind date.
From the next day, Chen Tongfu started avoiding Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was a very persistent person, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal. Two or three days later, she stopped Chen Tongfu when he was not at home and said with a hurt look on her face, "Mr. Chen, do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?"
Chen Tongfu was very embarrassed.
"No, no...it's my own fault."
"What's your secret? Do you actually have a wife?"
Aunt Wang still has principles. If Chen Tongfu already has a wife, she will not touch her no matter how good her conditions are. Aunt Wang can't bear to let her daughter become the third party.
Chen Tongfu shook his head, "No."
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up: "It's OK if you don't have it. You can just be friends and get to know each other first. If it doesn't work out, we can talk about it later!"
Chen Tongfu couldn't resist Aunt Wang's enthusiasm, so he lied to her: "Although I don't have a wife, I already have someone I love."
Aunt Wang was suspicious. "I've never seen a woman come to you."
"Of course not, Aunt Wang, you forgot."
Chen Tongfu guided Aunt Wang to recall, "Once she came here to pick me up, and you happened to be out buying groceries and saw her."
The only person who came to the old villa to take over Chen Tongfu was Zou Weijun.
Aunt Wang actually remembered it.
Although Zou Weijun's car was not very luxurious, his temperament was outstanding. After thinking about it carefully, Aunt Wang felt that her daughter was still far behind him.
Aunt Wang's persistence turned into gossip: "Then why aren't you together?"
——How come they are not together? He and Zou Weijun often work together!
Chen Tongfu found that his thoughts had been led astray by Aunt Wang. Why should he explain to Aunt Wang?
They also pushed Zou Weijun out as a shield.
This is such a mean act!
When Chen Tongfu was distracted, Aunt Wang responded with a critical strike: "Mr. Chen, you are not a child anymore. You should seize the opportunity now."
