Chapter 37: Should my son be gay?

Views:

If this is my son...

Boss Bai thought to himself, this really can't be my son.

"Being a father is really not easy." Bai Changyi said with a smile, "I have a friend who had a similar experience. It was a lot of ups and downs. I understand."

"Oh?" Zhu Ao asked, "Has he finally solved the problem? It shouldn't be easy, right?"

Bai Changyi said: "Well, it's not easy to handle. It took about half a year to solve it."

Zhu Ao said: "Half a year? That's quite fast. How to solve it? I want to learn from that old man."

The two of them were walking, and they happened to pass a side door of the exhibition hall. Bai Changyi glanced at his watch and said, "There is still time, why don't we go out and talk for a while?"

The exhibition hall may encounter company employees and partners at any time. It is indeed not a good place to talk about such topics. Zhu Ao nodded and went out of the hall with Bai Changyi. There is a smoking area set up in the convention and exhibition center just not far away, Zhu Ao said, "Let's both smoke one together?"

Brothers.

Boss Bai has a slightly complicated mood.

The two sat on the sofa in the smoking area, with a square table in the middle.

Bai Changyi held a lit cigarette between his left fingers, but he didn't smoke much, and only occasionally brushed the ash in the ashtray in the center of Fangji.

"That friend and I had a long-term relationship with me. When he encountered this problem, his son was already in his thirties." Bai Changyi said.

Zhu Ao took a breath and said, "His son is over thirty and still not married?"

"It's over." Bai Changyi smiled, "Then one day, his son suddenly called him and said, Dad, I'm gay, I just got divorced, I'm sitting in the car now, I don't know where to go, I don't know where to go. There's a place to go." Having said that, Bai Changyi stopped to dust the ash, and glanced at Zhu Ao at the same time.

Zhu Ao seemed to remember something, narrowed his eyes slightly behind the lingering smoke, and said after a long while, "Did his ex-wife take the initiative to leave after she found out?"

Bai Changyi said, "Yes."

Zhu Ao smiled, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes deepened: "Men, when you are young, you are ignorant, and you will always make mistakes. Some women... can't rub the sand in their eyes, so they just leave. What about your year-end friends? Persuade his daughter-in-law to let the young couple reconsider?"

Bai Changyi said: "Divorce is a foregone conclusion. My year-long friendship was deeply affected, and I couldn't accept that his son liked men for a while."

Zhu Ao said: "Look, it's not just me, even a father can't accept it... How did you solve it later?"

Bai Changyi said: "My friend advocates science, so he went to a psychiatrist to solve the problem."

Zhu Ao listened, smoked a cigarette thoughtfully for a while, and said, "Find a psychiatrist... Is this necessary... And, is it useful?"

Bai Changyi said: "The effect is good. Although it took half a year, it finally solved the problem."

Zhu Ao nodded and said, "Why didn't I think that I should seek a doctor for this matter? It makes sense. I am also a person who advocates science, so I should seek a doctor for this kind of problem. Hey, Professor Bo, the one your friend asked for. Is the doctor Chinese or German? If it is convenient, how can you introduce it to me? Your friend's son spent half a year treating homosexuality... Then how long does it take for my son to return to normal?"

Bai Changyi frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand Zhu Ao's words. He thought for two seconds before looking at Zhu Ao and said, "Mr. Zhu, you may have misunderstood what I said."

Zhu Ao didn't understand Bai Chang's meaning anymore: "What misunderstanding?"

Bai Changyi took a puff of cigarettes, brushed off the ash in a slow manner, and said, "The psychiatrist was hired for my buddy, not for his son."

Zhu Ao was at a loss: "What does this... mean? Isn't he treating his son?"

"Of course not." Bai Changyi smiled and said in a teaching tone of telling an obvious and simple point of knowledge, "After learning about the relevant research, my young friend realized that there is no problem with homosexuality, the problem lies in himself. Troubled by the unhealthy psychological state of homophobia, this trouble has affected his normal life, and it has also affected his father-son relationship with his son, so he asked a psychiatrist to solve the problem." Speaking of this, Bai Chang He deliberately put out the cigarette and looked at Zhu Ao very considerately, "Mr. Zhu, I understand you very well, being a father is already very hard, and you have to face your own psychological problems. It is normal to have some pressure. Don't worry too much, I know a few good psychiatrists who can introduce them to you. If you have psychological problems, we will solve them. We are all engineering majors, and we don’t shy away from treating diseases, and we don’t believe that there are problems that can’t be solved, right?”
