Chapter 204 The Essence of Love

Qi Tongwei sighed: "Living for yourself does not mean breaking the rules at will, but pursuing your own happiness within a reasonable and legal scope."

Zhang Long seemed a little impatient: "Alright, alright, stop telling me these big truths. I can't listen to them."

Qi Tongwei raised his voice: "You have to listen even if you don't want to, because this is the fact."

The two of them fell into a fierce argument again, and neither could convince the other.

The air around them seemed to become heavy because of their argument.

Zhang Long's voice was filled with anger: "Qi Tongwei, don't be so careless when you're talking. You don't understand the loneliness and longing in my heart at all."

Qi Tongwei retorted: "I understand your feelings, but this is not an excuse for you to violate morality."

Zhang Long pointed at Qi Tongwei and said, "You always talk about morality, but can morality be eaten? Can it give me a warm embrace?"

Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice: "Although morality cannot give you these directly, it can make society orderly and make the relationship between people more harmonious."

Zhang Long laughed sarcastically: "Harmony? I don't think society is very harmonious nowadays. Various problems keep popping up."

Qi Tongwei said: "It is precisely because there are problems that we should stick to the correct values ​​and work hard to improve them, rather than trying to break the rules like you did."

Zhang Long snorted: "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Anyway, no one can change what I have decided."

Qi Tongwei said: "Then you can just wait to reap the consequences."

Zhang Long stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "I don't care. I just like Cuicui. No one can stop me."

Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Old Zhang, your stubborn temper is really unbearable. Okay, let's discuss how to deal with this matter."

The two sat down face to face, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Qi Tongwei tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I'll arrange for Cuicui to meet you, and let's see what Cuicui's attitude is first. After all, love is a matter of mutual consent, right?"

Zhang Long's eyes lit up and he nodded eagerly: "Okay, okay, as long as I can see Cuicui, anything is fine."

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long's anxious look and felt helpless again: "Don't be too happy too soon. If Cuicui is not interested in you, don't keep pestering her."

Zhang Long patted his chest and assured: "No, no, as long as Cuicui doesn't want to, I will definitely not pester her."

Qi Tongwei was actually still a little worried, but since things had come to this point, he could only try this for now.

He began to contact Cuicui, and after some twists and turns, he finally arranged a meeting time and place.

On the day of the meeting, Zhang Long dressed carefully, put on his most decent clothes, and arrived at the agreed place early, waiting for Cuicui's arrival with nervousness and anticipation.

Qi Tongwei was secretly observing from a distance to prevent any unexpected situations.

Cuicui arrived as promised, with a look of confusion and uneasiness on her face.

When Zhang Long saw Cuicui, he immediately went up to her with a smile on his face: "Cuicui, you're here."

Cuicui smiled awkwardly: "Brother Zhang Long, what is going on?"

Zhang Long rubbed his hands and said incoherently: "Cui Cui, I, I have always liked you and want to talk to you."

Cuicui's expression changed, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Brother Zhang Long, I have always regarded you as an elder and never had any other thoughts."

Zhang Long's smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Cui Cui, I am sincere, I will treat you well."

Cuicui shook her head: "Brother Zhang Long, you can't force feelings. I really don't have that kind of feeling for you."

Cui Cui's face showed obvious resistance. She took a few steps back, distanced herself from Zhang Long, and said, "Brother Zhang Long, you are almost old enough to be my father. I have always respected you as an elder and never had any other thoughts. You are really making it difficult for me."

Zhang Long's face turned very ugly, and he said anxiously: "Age is not a problem, Cuicui, I really like you."

Cui Cui frowned, with a hint of anger in her tone: "How can this not be a problem? The gap between us is too big, it's not suitable at all."

The scene was awkward at this moment. Cui Cui wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Her face turned red and her hands were tightly clenched on the corners of her clothes.

But Zhang Long kept trying to persuade Cuicui and refused to give up: "Cuicui, give me a chance, let me prove that I can make you happy."

Qi Tongwei was watching from the side, his head was about to explode, and he regretted it deeply: If he had known earlier, he would not have lured Zhang Long here, causing the current stalemate. Who knows what excessive thing Zhang Long would do later.

Qi Tongwei stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Lao Zhang, since Cuicui has said so, let's not force it."

Zhang Long glared at Qi Tongwei and said, "Don't worry about it. This is between Cuicui and me."

Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly: "Lao Zhang, calm down, this is not a solution."

Zhang Long simply couldn't listen. He turned to Cuicui again and said, "Cuicui, please think about it carefully."

Cuicui turned her head away and stopped looking at Zhang Long: "There is nothing to consider, Brother Zhang Long, please don't bother me anymore in the future."

Zhang Long's body trembled slightly, and he seemed unable to believe what he heard.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Qi Tongwei quickly grabbed Zhang Long and said, "Old Zhang, let's go first and let Cuicui calm down."

Zhang Long struggled to break free from Qi Tongwei's hand: "No, we must make things clear today."

Cuicui looked at Zhang Long's almost crazy appearance and was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes.

Qi Tongwei raised his voice: "Lao Zhang, you will only make things worse!"

Zhang Long then calmed down a little, but his eyes were still full of unwillingness.

Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to pull Zhang Long aside and said, "Old Zhang, you can't force feelings. Let's go back first and discuss it later."

Zhang Long was determined not to leave. He stared at Cuicui and kept repeating, "No, I must get a result today."

As he said this, he was about to rush towards Cuicui again.

Qi Tongwei held him tightly and persuaded him: "Lao Zhang, calm down!"

Zhang Long struggled to free himself from Qi Tongwei's hand and yelled, "I can't calm down!"

Cuicui was frightened by Zhang Long's reckless behavior. Her face turned pale and she shouted angrily, "Zhang Long, how can you, an old man, think that a toad wants to eat swan meat and an old cow wants to eat young grass! I tell you, even if I don't want to marry anyone, I won't marry you. Forget it!"

After hearing this, Zhang Long was shocked as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and he stood there in a daze.
