Chapter 203 He Still Likes Cuicui

Qi Tongwei was immediately displeased when he heard this, and raised his voice and said, "Zhang Long, what are you doing? We have been friends for many years, and you are threatening me with this?"

Zhang Long also realized that his words were a bit too much, but he still said stubbornly: "Tongwei, I really like Cuicui, please help me this time."

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Zhang Long, let's talk about reason. Think about it, Cuicui is so young, she has her own life and choices, how could she be willing to be with someone like you who is so much older than her? Even if I help you to get together, if she doesn't want to, isn't it a waste of time?"

Zhang Long was silent for a while, then said, "Maybe she will see my sincerity?"

Qi Tongwei said helplessly: "It's really not used this way.

You acted on impulse without considering the actual situation.

Even if Cuicui agrees, can you bear the looks and comments from people around you?"

Zhang Long gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what others say. I just know that I like her."

Qi Tongwei patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Long, calm down. You can't be so blind when you like someone. You are so much older than Cuicui. Your life experiences and concepts are very different. There will be many problems in getting along with each other in the future."

Zhang Long's eyes flashed with confusion: "But I really can't let her go."

Qi Tongwei said: "You have to let it go even if you can't. This is unrealistic. Moreover, if you force me to help you like this, even if it works in the end, it's not a true relationship."

Zhang Long sat on a chair, holding his head in his hands, looking very painful.

Qi Tongwei continued to persuade: "Zhang Long, at your age, you should be more mature and rational. Find someone who suits you instead of pursuing this unrealistic relationship."

Zhang Long raised his head, his eyes full of stubbornness, and said loudly: "Qi Tongwei, what do you know? Why can't I pursue love at my age? Even if it is sunset red, it is the warmth that my heart desires. The ancients could have three wives and four concubines. Now I just want to find a close person to accompany me. What's wrong with that?"

Qi Tongwei frowned and retorted, "Zhang Long, you are just making a fuss! Times have changed. Now we live in a civilized society that values ​​equality, respect and exclusivity. Monogamy is the cornerstone of modern society and the guarantee of love and family."

Zhang Long snorted coldly: "Cornerstone? Guarantee? Then why is the divorce rate so high now? Can monogamy really make everyone happy? I don't think so!"

Qi Tongwei was so angry that his face turned red: "You are just making up stories! The high divorce rate is due to various complex factors, but that doesn't mean we can deny the rationality and importance of monogamy."

Zhang Long waved his hands, becoming more and more emotional. "Reasonable? That's just the thinking of you people who are bound by so-called rules. I've lived for so many years and have seen through the ups and downs of the world. I just want to do what I want."

Qi Tongwei raised his voice: "According to your own wishes? Does your wishes violate morality and the law? This society must have order and rules, otherwise it will be a mess, right?"

Zhang Long stiffened his neck and said, "What kind of moral laws are these? They are just made by humans. In ancient times, there were hundreds of surnames, and in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, each era had different rules. Why should the current ones be right?"

Qi Tongwei laughed in anger: "Well, Zhang Long, you are so stubborn. The ancient system was based on the social environment at that time. Now we are in a new era and a new journey. We must have new values ​​and morals."

Zhang Long did not give in: "So what if it's new? I just know that my inner desire cannot be suppressed. What's wrong with me pursuing my own love?"

The two of them talked back and forth, their voices growing louder and louder, and people around them all looked at them sideways.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Zhang Long, calm down and think about it. If everyone is like you, the ethics and morals of society will be gone, and the stability of the family and the growth of children will be affected."

Zhang Long stared: "Don't use these big principles to pressure me, I just know that I have the right to pursue my own happiness."

Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly: "Your so-called happiness is based on hurting others and destroying social rules. This is not true happiness."

Zhang Long was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I don't care. My life has been hard enough. Can't I do whatever I want when I get old?"

Qi Tongwei reiterated: "There must be a limit to doing whatever you want, and you cannot cross the bottom line of morality and law."

Zhang Long stood up abruptly: "Bottom line? My bottom line is that I can't let myself die alone."

Qi Tongwei also stood up and looked Zhang Long in the eye: "You are so stubborn, it will only hurt yourself in the end."

The two refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. It seemed that this argument was far from over...

Zhang Long panted and said loudly: "Qi Tongwei, you keep talking about the bottom line, then let me ask you, what is the real bottom line? Is it suppressing human nature, or ignoring personal emotional needs?"

Qi Tongwei responded with a firm gaze: "The real bottom line is to maintain social order and good customs and to protect the interests and happiness of the majority of people. It is right for you to pursue personal feelings, but you cannot do so at the expense of the interests of others and society."

Zhang Long sneered: "That sounds nice, but I just want to find a companion. How can it be considered as harming the interests of others?"

Qi Tongwei explained: "Your idea of ​​violating monogamy will cause family conflicts and undermine the harmony and stability of society. If everyone is like you, the concept of family will become chaotic."

Zhang Long put his hands on his hips and said, "Humph, you are just exaggerating. I just want to have someone to talk to in my old age. I don't want to do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

Qi Tongwei said seriously: "But your idea itself is a wrong direction. We should respect the existing marriage system and establish a correct view of love and values."

Zhang Long disagreed: "What's right or wrong? I only know that my feelings are the most important."

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long with some disappointment: "You are so selfish and only think about yourself. Have you ever thought about the impact your behavior will have on your children?"

Zhang Long was slightly stunned, then said: "Children? They have their own lives, they can't control me so much."

Qi Tongwei shook his head: "You are wrong. Parents' behavior often has a profound impact on their children. If you do this, how will they view love and marriage?"

Zhang Long was silent for a while, then said: "I don't care. I have lived most of my life for others. Now I want to live for myself."
