After we broke up, my ex-girlfriend gave birth to a daughter.

Chapter 88 Physical Cooling

Dai Zhiyuan originally thought that Shu Jingming's poor alcohol tolerance was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect that the kid was telling the truth. He had only had a few drinks and his face was already flushed.

This made Dai Zhiyuan afraid to drink with Shu Jingming anymore. If Shu Jingming got drunk, his daughter would blame him.

"Uncle and Aunt, after spending these few times together, I can tell that you are both very good parents." Shu Jingming raised his glass.

"Thank you for giving me this chance. I will take good care of Qingning and Mumu, and I will also be a good elder to you two."

"I don't usually drink much, but I'm unusually happy today, so I'd like to raise a glass to my uncle and aunt to wish them good health and all the best."

After Shu Jingming finished speaking, he raised his glass and toasted Dai Zhiyuan and his wife.

If Shu Jingming has a high alcohol tolerance, it wouldn't be a problem for him to offer two drinks.

The problem is that he doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance. Drinking two glasses of wine in a row is just showing off, especially since he was already flushed from drinking.

Dai Zhiyuan thought Shu Jingming was just a silly boy, but the boy's sincere attitude gradually made him forget his grudges.

"Xiao Shu, your aunt and uncle appreciate your kindness. Let's stop drinking here for today and hurry up and eat." Zhong Meijiao was worried that Shu Jingming would drink too much, so she quickly stopped him.

Dai Qingning got up and served Shu Jingming a bowl of rice, without saying a word the whole time.

She had clearly told Shu Jingming to drink less alcohol, but he simply wouldn't listen to her.

She wouldn't care if Shu Jingming drank too much and felt unwell later.

Shu Jingming noticed Dai Qingning's unhappiness, but since they were at the dinner table, he couldn't comfort her right now and could only wait until later.

The meal ended quickly, and Dai Qingning asked her daughter to be the messenger: "Mumu, take Dad to our room so he can take a nap."

"Okay." Mu Mu nodded without hesitation, then led Shu Jingming to the bedroom.

The apartment that Dai Zhiyuan and his wife live in was allocated by the school, so it is not very large, with only two bedrooms in total.

Dai Qingning's room was relatively simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk.

"Mumu, do you want to take a nap?"

Shu Jingming lay on the bed and turned to look at his daughter beside him.

"No, I just took a nap in the car." Mu Mu shook her head.

"Daddy, go to sleep now, be a good boy/girl."

Shu Jingming couldn't help but laugh. Which of them was the little kid? It felt like his daughter was taking care of him like a child.

"Dad can't sleep, his face is a little hot," Shu Jingming said softly.

The wine he and Dai Zhiyuan were drinking was homemade.

As everyone knows, homemade brews have very little alcohol content, which means you don't know how much alcohol they have.

The wine was smooth on the palate but had a strong aftereffect. At that moment, Shu Jingming felt his heart racing and his face burning.

"Does your face feel hot?" Mu Mu placed her hands on Shu Jingming's face. "Will this make you feel better?"

Her hands were icy cold, which served as a physical cooling effect.

"Mumu, thank you. Dad is feeling much better now."

"You're welcome~" Mu Mu smiled sweetly.

"Daddy, you stay here and sleep well, okay? I'm going out to tell Grandma about the snacks we got in the competition today."

"Okay, go ahead."

Shu Jingming paused, then said, "Mumu, please tell my mother that I won't drink so much alcohol anymore."

"Okay," Mu Mu replied, ran out of the bedroom, and returned to the living room.

At this moment, Dai Qingning and Zhong Meijiao were sitting in the living room. Originally, Lao Dai was also here, but he snored too loudly while sleeping, so Zhong Meijiao told him to go back to his room to sleep.

"Mumu, how was it? Did your dad get a good nap?" Dai Qingning asked her daughter as she returned.

"She's asleep." Mu Mu nodded repeatedly. "Dad also told me to tell you that he won't drink so much alcohol anymore."

Dai Qingning snorted: "I hope so."

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Dai Qingning, unaware of what was going on, got up and opened the door.

An 18-year-old girl with shoulder-length short hair and black-rimmed glasses stood outside the door.

"Ningning, you're back for the Dragon Boat Festival?" The girl was a little surprised to see Dai Qingning.

Dai Qingning laughed: "That's right, Qingqing, it's been a while since we last saw each other."

The girl named Qingqing, whose full name is Bai Qing, lives right across from Dai Qingning's house. The two families have a good relationship and visit each other often.

"Yeah, I remember the last time we met was during the Chinese New Year. That's been a long time." Bai Qing nodded.

"Oh, by the way, my mom made some zongzi today and asked me to bring some over to you."

She waved the woven bag in her hand; this was the purpose of her visit.

"The red thread ties up the meat dumplings, and the green thread ties up the red bean dumplings."

Dai Qingning took the heavy woven bag: "So many zongzi! Please thank your mother for me. She always thinks of our family during festivals."

Bai Jing waved her hand: "What's the big deal? Aunt Zhong often tutors me in English. If it weren't for Aunt Zhong's tutoring, I probably still wouldn't have passed English."

When asked about her English grades, Dai Qingning inquired with concern, "The college entrance exam is in a few days. How are you doing? Are you confident?"

Bai Qing is a senior high school student in the class of 25, and she will be taking the college entrance examination in two days.

"My grades fluctuated between first-tier and second-tier universities, and as for my final score, I can only leave it to fate."

"I plan to go burn incense and pray to Buddha in a couple of days, just to try and find some last-minute help."

Seeing that Bai Qing could still joke around and seemed to have no pressure from the college entrance exam, Dai Qingning finally felt relieved.

"Don't be nervous. The college entrance examination is just a stage test. It can't determine your future. It can only determine which city you will live in for four years. It's that simple."

Bai Qing nodded: "Yes, yes, right now I just want to finish the college entrance exam as soon as possible, and then go out and have some fun for two months!"

"Speaking of which, Ningning, since you work at a TV station, do you often see a lot of celebrities?"

Dai Qingning shook her head, meeting Bai Qing's expectant gaze: "We rarely see celebrities where I'm from."

"You rarely see celebrities? But isn't Star Channel one of the top TV stations in the country? You should see celebrities often, right?"

Dai Qingning explained, "I'm not at Xingmang TV, but at Xingcheng TV."

Xingcheng has two major television stations: one is the local Xingcheng TV station, and the other is the well-known Xingmang TV station.

People often confuse the two TV stations, and Dai Qingning is used to it.

"Oh, I see." Bai Qing suddenly realized.

"Okay then, I was thinking of going to your place after the college entrance exam to bump into some celebrities."

"You probably won't run into any celebrities, but if you go to Changsha, I can be your tour guide."

Bai Qing's eyes lit up immediately: "That works too! I've never been to Xingcheng before, not even when I was a child."

"1

"I know that some of the more famous places in Changsha are Yuelu Mountain and Orange Isle..."

Dai Qingning nodded: "If you want to go to those places after the college entrance exam, I can take you, but it has to be on the weekend."

"Then it's settled. I'll contact you in Xingcheng!" Bai Qing said with a smile.

"No problem," Dai Qingning agreed.

"Come in and sit for a while, have something to eat and some tea."

Bai Jing didn't stand on ceremony, after all, they were all so familiar with each other: "Okay."

She walked into the living room and looked at Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, do you still remember your sister?"

"I remember!" the little girl exclaimed upon seeing Bai Qing, "You're Little Sun Sister!"

Previously, Mu Mu asked Dai Qingning what the character "晴" meant, and Dai Qingning explained that "晴" means the sun.

From then on, Mu Mu started calling Bai Qing "Little Sun Sister".

"Mumu, you look so beautiful today! Did Mom buy you this dress?" Bai Jing asked with a smile.

Mu Mu explained, "My dad bought this dress for me."

Did Dad buy it?

Bai Qing was taken aback at first, then subconsciously looked at Dai Qingning.

After all, the neighbors only knew that Dai Qingning had given birth to a daughter, but they didn't know who the father was.

Now that Mu Mu brought it up, Bai Qing was very curious.

Dai Qingning saw through Bai Qing's thoughts, so she said, "Her father drank too much at noon and is sleeping in his room right now. I'll introduce you two later."
