Duan Zihui said, “You made Dad praise himself; Daddy feels a little embarrassed.”
Xie Qingyu, who was watching the drama unfold, said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Go ahead and praise yourself.”
Duan Zihui glared at her: “…” Could you please stop egging him on?
Zhuzhu chimed in, “Yes, Dad, don’t be so modest, just praise yourself.”
Duan Zihui: “…”
Could he just not praise himself?
His mind raced. Looking at the little girl with her big, beautiful, dark eyes, he thought for a moment and said, “How about Daddy praises you, and then you praise Daddy?”
Zhuzhu shook her head: “That’s not good. I just want to discover your strengths. How am I supposed to know what your strengths are if you don’t introduce yourself to me? When we were in kindergarten, the teachers often had us introduce ourselves. Dad, is it really that hard for you to introduce yourself?”
This wasn’t a question of whether it was difficult or not.
Instead…
This conversation was impossible.
After all, he was no longer the same person he was in his student days.
Besides, there was a woman watching the spectacle nearby.
“Zhuzhu, let’s continue playing with building blocks.”
Duan Zihui just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
He desperately hoped that this topic would be moved on quickly.
“Fine, Dad, if you don’t want to introduce yourself, then forget it.”
Since her father didn’t want to, Zhuzhu felt that there was no need to force him.
“I never expected you to be so easily shy.”
Shy…
Xie Qingyu was surprised that Zhuzhu would use this word to describe Duan Zihui. She couldn’t help but laugh.
She didn’t think that he was shy at all.
However, making him talk about his own strengths felt a bit like a peddler praising his own wares.
How could he have the nerve to say that?
Shy?
Duan Zihui, after being told this by his daughter, licked his lips and chuckled, “Baby Zhuzhu, if you put it that way, then Daddy needs to think about it carefully.”
“First of all, Dad is rich; that’s an advantage. Second, Dad is smart. I know a lot of things. Third…”
Duan Zihui stopped mid-sentence and laughed, “Daddy can’t keep praising himself anymore.”
Xie Qingyu mocked him from the side, “That’s all the good things you have.”
Duan Zihui said calmly, “No one is perfect.”
Zhuzhu: “So you should learn more from Chongchong’s dad.”
Duan Zihui couldn’t help but retort, “That guy isn’t necessarily much better than me.”
Zhuzhu lectured her father, “Daddy, you need to be humble. Three people walking together…”
Zhuzhu couldn’t remember.
Duan Zihui said, “There must be someone I can learn from.”
Zhuzhu wholeheartedly agreed, her face beaming with joy: “Yes, yes, that’s it!”
She couldn’t even speak a complete sentence, yet she dared to lecture him.
Duan Zihui shrugged, looking rather helpless.
Xie Qingyu had been on IV drips for three days. On the fourth day, she finally didn’t need any more drips or medication, and she felt refreshed.
She told Zhuzhu about going back.
Upon hearing this, Little Zhuzhu crossed her arms and said, “Mom, have you forgotten something?”
Xie Qingyu: “What?”
Zhuzhu exclaimed, “The medical checkup!”
“Didn’t we say we’d have a medical checkup together?”
It seemed that this did happen.
Xie Qingyu didn’t want to stay here any longer, not even for one more day.
She said, “Let’s go home first. Mom can go to the hospital there for a check-up, okay? It’s not fun here at all, and Mom misses home.”
