Zhou Yi stopped and turned around, his brows furrowed. "What's so funny? It's a complete mess! What good girls can you find in an environment like this?"
"Didn't I tell you I have a boyfriend? Why are you still helping my family lie to me? How can we still be friends?"
Xiao Zhong said with a grin, "You always say you have a girlfriend."
You've been divorced for several years and you don't contact any women. Everyone thinks you've been heartbroken and have given up on sex ever since!
I'm worried you'll ruin your health by holding it in. Here you can cast a wide net and relax with beautiful women—you won't have to take responsibility!
Look, with a figure like yours, several young girls are envious!
They spoke while winking and making suggestive gestures, indicating a mutually agreeable arrangement. Afterwards, they went their separate ways and never contacted each other again—what a perfect arrangement!
Zhou Yi was puzzled. "You're a married man, and you're doing this dirty stuff? Aren't you afraid your wife will scratch you and divorce you?"
Xiao Zhong: "How can you be so old-fashioned! These days, which young person doesn't have a few female confidantes?"
I'm just having fun, and I don't plan to date or marry, so what's there for her to care about?
Besides, I've never skimped on her food, clothing, or other necessities. Where else could she find such a wealthy man to spend twenty or thirty thousand yuan a month on?
"Your current thinking is dangerous! Why don't you have the mindset to live a normal life like before?"
Xiao Zhong couldn't help but laugh at him: "What era are we living in now? How many young people haven't been to a nightclub and don't have a rich nightlife!"
Unlike you, stuck in the army and never moving an inch, you're practically invisible even on leave. If you were to transfer to civilian life now, you'd be completely out of touch with society!
"Whether you're out of touch or not, I don't like this kind of life either. You should also be careful not to indulge yourself too much."
Anyway, I think this kind of lifestyle is unhealthy, so I won't participate anymore. And please don't bother trying to lure me to this kind of place.
I do have a girlfriend, and she's much prettier and more cultured than the women here. These people lead chaotic lives; aren't you afraid of catching a sexually transmitted disease?
Don't listen to my parents' nagging anymore. Just because they haven't seen him doesn't mean he doesn't exist. I'll bring him home when I have the chance.
Xiao Zhong couldn't help but wonder, what kind of woman could win over a straight man like Zhou Yi, who couldn't even win over the beautiful and charming women in nightclubs?
Zhou Yi originally wanted to return to the army overnight, but then he thought that he should go home first and explain the matter to his parents.
He never imagined that he would now be considered a "major problem" by his parents and friends!
When he entered, the two elderly people were still awake. Mr. Zhou was chatting with his wife:
"Old Zhang, do you think Xiao Zhong is reliable? I have a bad feeling about him!"
Zhou Yi's mother was applying lotion in front of the dressing table: "What do you mean by 'nothing going on'? Look at Xiao Zhong, she got married at only twenty-two, and now her son is almost in junior high school."
Qi Hua, who grew up with Zhou Yi, has been married twice and has three children.
Wei Guo also had a daughter, and I heard she's doing very well in her studies; she'll grow up to be a scientist.
Of the four of them, three have families and children. As for Zhou Yi, he's more handsome and taller than them.
He was a battalion commander, no less capable than them, but he was all ruined by that woman, Wu Min.
Otherwise, Zhou Yi's child would have to start elementary school too. I don't mind whether the woman is working, studying, or even unemployed at home.
As long as Zhou Yi settles down and stops being single, I'll agree to anything!
Now that we're all old, the people we hang out with every day are mostly old men and women. Where can we introduce him to potential partners? He only has a lot of contact with his childhood friends of the same age.
Look, today Xiao Zhong is already taking him to meet people. Meeting more people helps you find the right target.
If we hit it off, our family will be able to have a happy occasion very soon.
If he doesn't settle down soon, he'll be almost forty. It'll be hard to find a girl then; at best, he'll end up with a divorced woman or a widow.
Zhou Yi's father disagreed: "So what if he's remarried or a widow? Our Zhou Yi is also remarried, isn't he? You can't say he's not a good guy, can you?"
In today's society, with such a high divorce rate, many good children are neglected and their lives are wasted. However, it cannot be said that divorced individuals don't have good children.
Zhou Yi's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Yi's father. "When did I say that second marriages are bad? I'm just worried that people who have been married before have complicated family relationships."
After all, couples like Zhou Yi, who get married but don't have children, are a minority.
Most women don't want to give up their children after a divorce, so they marry into the family with a child in tow. Zhou Yi would have to become a stepfather right away.
If you have your own children, it will be difficult to manage the relationships between the previous and subsequent litters. Just as fingers are not all the same length, there will always be times when you can't take care of everyone.
Such marriages are fraught with trouble, filled with trivialities and unrest. If that's the case, it's better to be single!
"Why think so much! There are plenty of cases where there are problems with the family of origin, such as discord between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and unfilial children."
In this life, sometimes you really have to accept your fate. What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you shouldn't force!
As for matters of the I Ching, in my opinion, we elders shouldn't interfere too much. Perhaps his time isn't right yet. If you interfere too much, he'll find it annoying and won't want to come home anymore.
Anyway, this kid is good-looking and has a promising career, so I don't think he'll stay single forever.
You urged him a while ago, and he said he had a girlfriend, right? Now, you and Xiao Zhong can introduce him to some girls, so as not to provoke him to react negatively again!
Upon hearing this, the old lady slammed the lotion bottle onto the dressing table.
