Chapter 310 Drinking

Shen Ziming didn't stay in the teacher's room for long.

The old professor went out to use the restroom.

Wang Qi immediately seized the opportunity and personally poured Shen Ziming a glass of water and handed it to him.

Shen Ziming did not accept the offer, but instead looked up at Wang Qi with a calm expression. "Comrade Wang Qi, I have already clearly rejected your feelings."

Wang Qi's heart was pounding as she held the water glass.

This was the first time she had ever drugged someone.

Wang Qi handed over the water glass, "Senior... Senior brother, would you like to have some water first?"

Shen Ziming wasn't thirsty, and he sensed that Wang Qi was suspicious.

Why are you shaking your head when I'm just handing you a glass of water?

However, before Wang Qi could hand the water to Shen Ziming, the professor who had gone out returned.

Wang Qi immediately placed the water glass in front of Shen Ziming.

Then he looked at the professor who had just entered and said, "Professor, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water."

"Okay." The old professor nodded.

However, Shen Ziming was already planning to take his leave.

He only stayed because of an accident, but Wang Qi's attitude was really strange.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Ziming stood up and said to the old professor, "Professor, it's getting late. Please get some rest. I'll take my leave now."

The old professor asked in surprise, "Are you leaving?"

Shen Ziming took his leave of the teacher, citing other matters he had to attend to.

However, just as Shen Ziming reached the door, Wang Qi ran over with a water cup, saying, "Senior brother, you've been chatting with the teacher for so long, have some water before you go."

Shen Ziming lowered his eyes; now he was certain there was something in the water.

He glanced at the professor who was still in the room, then took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Wang Qi, you can't force things in relationships. I hope you can be serious and responsible towards yourself."

Wang Qi's eyes widened. "You..."

After saying this, Shen Ziming turned and went downstairs without hesitation.

As Shen Ziming walked downstairs, a male colleague at the guesthouse reception waved to him.

Shen Ziming walked over with a puzzled look. "Comrade, I just saw that woman who was arguing with you at the door in the kitchen. She put poison in your water glass. Did you offend her?"

Although it was better to avoid trouble, the staff at the guesthouse still told Shen Ziming about it.

After all, if someone gets into trouble at their guesthouse, the guesthouse will also bear some responsibility.

Shen Ziming was taken aback, and he thanked the other party for the kind reminder.

Wang Qi was probably doing this for the first time, so his lies were full of mistakes.

As Shen Ziming walked out of the guesthouse, a car parked not far away suddenly turned on its lights.

The light flickered, and Shen Ziming subconsciously looked over.

As the car started and drew closer, Shen Ziming realized that Shen Mo was driving.

Jiang Ning was in the passenger seat, and Xu Jin was in the back seat.

Shen Ziming asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "I've come to pick you up and take you back."

Actually, it was Jiang Ning who suggested picking up her older brother.

Jiang Ning had been keeping an eye on the medicine bottle that Wang Qi had accidentally dropped earlier that day.

She had taken Wang Qi's pulse and knew that a healthy person would not carry medication with them.

Then she suspected that Wang Qi might be plotting against her older brother.

As for how they planned it, that remains unknown.

Although this is just speculation, it's never a bad thing to be cautious.

Shen Ziming opened the car door and got in. Jiang Ning carefully looked at Shen Ziming and saw that his expression was normal, so she knew that she had been overthinking it.

Shen Ziming got into the car, and Shen Mo drove towards the retirement compound.

They needed to take Xu Jin back to the Xu family home first, but the Xu family was still awake, and Xu Jin's parents were sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.

Upon seeing their car parked in front of the house, they warmly invited them inside to sit down.

The relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family was also public knowledge, so Shen Mo and the others couldn't refuse and went to Xu Jin as instructed.

Xu's mother also brought out a lot of food.

Xu's father used to be a soldier, but he retired later.

Upon seeing Shen Mo, she couldn't help but ask him some interesting stories from the military, and Shen Mo picked out a few that she could tell.

Xu's father was delighted to hear this and immediately instructed Xu Jin to bring out the wine he had brewed himself.

This is a treasure that Xu's father keeps hidden away; he would never take it out except for holidays and festivals.

With only two days left of the holiday, Shen Mo only drank a small cup as a symbolic gesture.

You have to take a sip to realize how strong this liquor is; it's much stronger than their liquor.

Shen Mo couldn't drink much, but Xu's father really needed a drinking buddy, so he dragged Shen Ziming to the table as well.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jin sat down on the stool next to her and poured herself a large bowl of wine.

Xu Jin picked up her wine bowl and clinked it against the one in her father's hand. "Dad, cheers!"

With that, she tilted her head back and drank the wine in the bowl clean.

Xu's father: "......."

It's amazing how she raised such a carefree and outspoken daughter.

Now look what's happened, she's thirty and still not married.

When matchmakers hear that a man's daughter is thirty, they start introducing countless undesirable men and women to him.

Thinking this to herself, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Ziming beside her.

He was also a little puzzled. After so long, why hadn't his daughter won over the Shen family's coveted son?

Xu Jin not only insisted on drinking herself, but also dragged Jiang Ning into drinking with her.

Getting into the swing of things, Jiang Ning also had a few drinks.

But she overestimated her alcohol tolerance, and after only a few drinks, she suddenly started to sway.

She rubbed her eyes, feeling a little dizzy.

Fortunately, Shen Mo had been keeping an eye on her condition and, seeing that Jiang Ning was not able to hold her liquor, suggested that he take his leave.

At this moment, Xu's father was drinking with Shen Ziming.

Shen Mo thought for a while and decided to take his wife back first, let her sleep comfortably, and then come to the Xu family to pick up his older brother.

Having come up with a plan, Shen Mo immediately pulled his wife up to say goodbye.

Shen Mo brought his wife home, and upon hearing the door open, Shen's mother immediately put on her clothes and came out.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law's face was flushed and she smelled of alcohol, Mother Shen asked, "Oh dear, you've been drinking? Where did you go drinking?"

Shen Mo gave a brief explanation.

"You drank quite a bit, didn't you? If you sleep like this, you'll definitely have a headache tomorrow. I'll go make some hangover soup for Ningning. You can get some hot water to wipe her down; it'll make her feel better."

After saying that, Mother Shen immediately went to the kitchen to cook a hangover soup.

Shen Mo was also busy getting hot water for his wife to wash her face and body.

My wife got a little drunk and started acting up.

Jiang Ning subconsciously knew that Shen Mo was right next to her. Her mind was dizzy, and she just wanted to hold on to what was reliable.

She buried her face in the man's chest, refusing to show it.

Shen Mo used some effort to wipe his wife clean.

Then, when Mother Shen's hangover soup arrived, she fed it to Jiang Ning.

After watching her son feed his wife the hangover soup, Chen's mother said, "I see you've had some too. Go to sleep. Drinking alcohol can easily cause a cold. Keep an eye on Ningning and don't let her kick off the covers."

Shen Mo nodded, immediately went to fetch water to wash himself quickly, and then hugged his wife and fell asleep.

Before going to sleep, I always feel like I've forgotten something.

Just as she was thinking, Jiang Ning suddenly rolled over and landed on top of Shen Mo.

Hearing his wife smack her lips, Shen Mo immediately hugged her and fell into a sweet sleep.
