It wasn't that Chen Changqing was overthinking things; it was just that Chen Dongsheng always had a cold face towards comrades of different surnames who appeared around him, let alone praised them.
But right now, they're laughing so hard they're practically worthless, wishing they could praise Comrade Song a few more times.
He, the old father, had no choice but to think about it.
"It's just that I haven't met the right one yet!"
Chen Dongsheng's expression returned to normal, and he said in a serious tone, "I want to find a like-minded partner. If it's just about settling for someone, I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life."
"Just like-minded people?"
Chen Changqing asked.
"That's just a prerequisite. In terms of feelings, I have to like the other person, and the other person has to like me too."
Chen Dongsheng showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
Just as Chen Changqing was about to speak, Chen Dongsheng added, "To make it look good, this is essential!"
"You genuinely don't want to get married, right?"
It's not that it's impossible to find someone who is good-looking, shares the same interests, and likes you, but the chances are relatively small.
"No, it's not that I don't want to get married."
Chen Dongsheng shook his head and said seriously, "Marriage is a major life event. If we just settle for each other, life will definitely be difficult. So, I need to treat it carefully."
Chen Changqing: "If that Comrade Song were single..."
"Dad, there are no 'what ifs' in this world."
Chen Dongsheng interrupted his father and said, "I admit that I have a good impression of Comrade Song Lan. After all, she is not only a good doctor and a good person, but also very beautiful. Moreover, she gives me a very pure feeling. There is no scheming in her eyes when she looks at people. I admire her very much, but I know clearly that I can't have any romantic feelings for her at all."
"..."
Chen Changqing didn't know what to say.
"Isn't it strange? I think so too!"
Chen Dongsheng looked slightly dazed: "What's even stranger is that I actually wanted to be nice to her. On the way back, I kept thinking about it, and I still can't figure out why."
"Alright, go back to your room and rest!"
Chen Changqing waved his hand dismissively, his tone tinged with disdain.
If you have feelings for someone, admire them, but don't have romantic feelings for them, and still want to be nice to them, are you out of your mind?
"We'll do as you said regarding Xiao Xu's matter. Tomorrow, go and buy some daily necessities that Xiao Xu will need. Don't forget to buy some for Xiao Sun too, as he needs to go with Xiao Xu over there."
As Chen Dongsheng walked to the study door, he heard this from behind. He turned around to look at his elderly father, stood ramrod straight, and quickly raised his hand in a salute: "Received!"
Chen Changqing waved his hand dismissively again.
The brat is like a stern-faced judge outside, but he loves to act silly in front of his old father.
Just now, I saluted him without any hesitation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I still have a childlike heart!
A hint of a smile flashed in his deep eyes, showing that Chen Changqing's dislike for Chen Dongsheng was not genuine.
Well, isn't this just a way for a father to express his love for his child?
