Xu Zicheng, 29 years old, male, loves sports, is a graphic designer.

She has been divorced once.

He enjoys cycling and mountain climbing.

According to his parents, their son was handsome and polite.

His parents were telling the truth.

After a morning of conversation, Lu Yuan also shared this view.

Even though Lu Yuan rode a shared bicycle and forcibly participated in his weekend cycling activities.

I talked to him about marriage the whole time.

He didn't show any impatience, and even politely brought Lu Yuan a cup of coffee.

"People like us who have been divorced once have become indifferent to marriage. If we meet someone suitable, we'll find someone; if not, we'll just let it go."

Xu Zicheng spent almost the entire morning expressing this idea.

A very reasonable statement.

Wu Junning, who was also divorced and was following along with the action camera, shared the same opinion.

But Lu Yuan kept subtly hinting at it.

"I have a very private question that I'm not sure if I should say."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Could you reveal the reason for your divorce from your ex-wife?"

Xu Zicheng paused for a moment when faced with this question, and for once, she began to hesitate:

"I can tell you that, but please try not to let my parents know."

"Don't worry, we have professional ethics."

"I have some problems with male sexual function."

"I see."

Lu Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

After resting, Xu Zicheng continued cycling along the suburban highway.

This time, Lu Yuan didn't keep up; instead, he stayed where he was, lost in thought.

He was lost in thought.

Wu Junning turned to him and whispered, "There's no way out now, is there?"

As an observer, she also saw that Xu Zicheng was absolutely fine in terms of external conditions.

She has good emotional intelligence and IQ, and her qualifications are quite good.

However, there are problems with the internal conditions.

However, as the owner of a matchmaking company...

Wu Junning clearly understands this industry well. If you ask whether anyone can accept a sexless marriage?

Of course there are, after all, the country is so big, there are all kinds of people.

The problem is that Xu Zicheng seems unable to get over this hurdle herself.

That's how the matchmaking market works.

As long as it's authentic enough, fish will find fish, shrimp will find shrimp, and you'll always find a match.

But he himself is unwilling to accept this fact, so introducing him to anyone would be a waste of time.

Now she wanted to see how Lu Yuan would resolve this matter.

"I advise you to give up on finding someone who can accept a sexless marriage, this Xu Zicheng..."

"He's asexual my ass."

Lu Yuan gave his conclusion in the shortest, most direct, and most straightforward way.

Then he picked up his phone and called Xu Zicheng's elderly mother.

When Wu Junning saw this, he thought Lu Yuan was going to ask Xu Zicheng's family for confirmation, so he quickly stopped him.

"I promised them I wouldn't tell them."

"Believe it or not, he's just waiting for us to indirectly tell his parents."

Wu Junning didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

Until Lu Yuan gave his answer:

"Men will never admit they can't do it. Even if they really can't, they'd rather lie by the bedside waiting for the medicine to take effect and chat with you about art, philosophy, geography, and customs than admit they can't do it."

"so what?"

"So this proves that he has something else he cares about more."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yuan immediately called Xu Ma.

He didn't ask Xu Zicheng whether it was possible or not.

He asked, "Auntie, could you give me Xu Zicheng's ex-wife's contact information?"

...

"Xu Zicheng, he does have problems in that area."

In the park, a very quiet woman sat on a bench and answered Lu Yuan's question.

Don't say it.

Xu Zicheng and his ex-wife do seem to be a good match.

His ex-wife seems to be a lower-budget version of Xu Zhixiao, but obviously a marriage can't last just because they look compatible.

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Junning turned to look at Lu Yuan again.

This time, it was his ex-wife who admitted it herself.

What else can you say?

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, and he didn't mention Xu Zicheng again.

Instead, they inexplicably became dedicated to their work.

"Excuse me for asking, have you remarried?"

"not yet."

Xu Zicheng's ex-wife shook her head and sighed, seemingly a little melancholy.

Lu Yuan bluntly pierced through this melancholy:

"Is it because you're unwilling to accept it?"

"No...no..."

"It's understandable. They were seriously in love and got married, but they got divorced because they couldn't have sex. Even though their partner never touched them, they had no choice but to bear the cold stares of others because of their second marriage."

The thing people fear most in this life is meeting someone who understands their innermost thoughts.

Ms. Meng, Xu Zicheng's ex-wife, almost burst into tears upon hearing these words:

"I'm a very conservative person, so we never had any intimate contact before marriage. Who knew he would hide the fact that he didn't like women? After we got married, he wouldn't even touch me. I had no choice but to divorce him, but I'm really unwilling to date again with the stigma of being a divorcee..."

Anyone would feel wronged in this situation.

When you're divorced and looking for a partner, the person you're dating will likely also be divorced.

She was definitely unwilling to accept this situation, so Xu Zicheng's ex-wife couldn't help but cry.

When emotions run high, people tend to speak without thinking.

They directly revealed that Xu Zicheng didn't like men.

"So, did Xu Zicheng tell you to say you weren't good enough when others asked?"

"I didn't say anything."

Xu Zicheng's ex-wife realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately shook her head.

Wu Junning immediately signaled Lu Yuan to stop and not to ask any more questions.

Lu Yuan had no intention of asking any further questions.

But seeing Xu Zicheng's ex-wife's reaction, he was stunned for a moment.

Without saying anything, he left.

...

Lu Yuan and Wu Junning sat in the car.

Wu Junning was watching the video footage that had just been captured by the action camera.

The more I look at it, the more I realize that Lu Yuan is a true genius.

"I never expected that filming a blind date video could turn into a battle of wits."

He didn't even dare to imagine the impact this video would have.

"Should we talk to Xu Zicheng now and find him a partner according to his criteria?"

In fact, the solution path is already quite obvious in this situation.

Even Wu Junning, as a matchmaking agency owner, has personally participated in this kind of matchmaking work.

Since he's gay, he should find a lesbian of similar standing to marry, and then they can each live their own lives.

Just put on an act for your parents to see, to put your mind at ease, and it won't affect either side.

This situation is not uncommon.

But Lu Yuan shook his head.

He said, "No rush."

He looked out through the windshield.

The entrance to the park.

Xu Zicheng's ex-wife walked up to a toy stall, but instead of looking down to buy anything, she sat on a stool and joined the stall owner in hawking their wares.

If you look closely, you can see that she is holding hands with the stall owner.

The stall owner was a girl with short hair.

"this..."

Wu Junning stared at this scene, stunned and speechless.

"Please, Lu Yuan, explain quickly."

"This story was never true; didn't you realize that?"

"I didn't recognize it."

"Xu Zicheng isn't stupid. He knew that not having sex would lead to a divorce, so why did he still marry his ex-wife?"

"Because he's gay."

"Isn't it perfectly fine for a man and a lesbian to get married, fool their parents, and then live their own lives separately? Why bother getting a divorce then?"

When Lu Yuan once again posed the question to Wu Junning.

This time, Wu Junning fell silent.

Clearly, her brain couldn't process it.

"Let's think about it from a different perspective."

"Please, tell me."

Wu Junning is thirty years old. Her matchmaking company is thriving, and she has long forgotten what it feels like to ask for help.

But this time she had no choice but to beg.

"Marriage is a transaction of mutual giving and receiving. Even the most foolish person wouldn't agree to get married if they didn't get what they wanted."

Lu Yuan counted on his fingers as he explained to Wu Junning:

"Xu Zicheng's ex-wife is a lesbian. If she doesn't get married, her parents will definitely urge her. But if she gets divorced once, will her parents still urge her? Even if they do, she can use the excuse that she can't find a good partner for her second marriage to brush it off."

"What about Xu Zicheng?"

"Xu Zicheng is an only child, so he naturally carries the pressure of carrying on the family line. This is mixed with his father's expectations, so he cannot directly tell his father that he does not want to get married, because this may cause his father to turn white overnight."

He could only try to drag things out by getting married first and then divorced.

Wu Junning thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Xu Zicheng's father looks very old now, clearly he's been very worried about this matter.

"so what?"

"Delay it for now, and then wait for the right opportunity to let your parents know that you are impotent through other people's words."

"Why is that?"

"The persona you project is completely different when you say it yourself versus when others say it."

Lu Yuan shook his finger: "Even if we tell his parents about his impotence and gayness now, they will definitely confront their son immediately."

But Xu Zicheng would never admit it, and would even bravely tell her parents that she would definitely try her best to get better and find a partner so that her bloodline could continue.

If you were Lao Xu, what would you be thinking right now?

"I think to myself: My son must have suffered a lot all these years."

Wu Junning thought to himself.

If it were your own son, enduring such a physical defect for years without being able to speak up would definitely be unbearable.

At this point, it would be best if my son were healthy; who cares about blood ties?

Lu Yuan sighed and softly murmured, "The hearts of parents are full of love and worry for their children."

Wu Junning understood now.

This is a grand scheme by Xu Zicheng; his marriage with his ex-wife was a transaction.

The ex-wife can use this as an excuse to avoid marriage.

The price is that we need to use her to tell the truth, thereby increasing credibility.

And coincidentally, she and Lu Yuan acted as messengers, relaying the message to his parents so that they would feel sorry for him instead of scolding him.

"So what do we do now?"

Should we tell Xu Zicheng's parents, or...?

"Find Xu Zicheng."

"Why would you still want to see him?"

"Because he is neither impotent nor gay."

How did you know?

"Because simply being impotent can solve the problem, there's absolutely no need to bring up being gay; that's too deliberate and shameless."

As Lu Yuan dialed Xu Zicheng's number, he whispered:

People only reveal everything when they have something to protect.
