Wen Shuqiao asked gently, puzzled, "What's wrong, baby? Did I wake you up? Or do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Can Can was still half asleep when she heard Wen Shu Qiao's words. She just shook her head instinctively, then climbed into her arms, put one hand on her stomach, rested her head on her arm, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.

It turns out it was half asleep and wanted a hug.

Wen Shuqiao waited a while before carefully laying him down, grabbing his small pillow, and placing his head on it.

She patted him twice more to make sure he wouldn't wake up again before withdrawing her hand.

Not feeling too sleepy yet, Wen Shuqiao secretly turned on her phone again, quietly turned her back, and prepared to read a novel or watch some silent videos to relieve her tired life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned on my phone, I received a new WeChat notification.

[Uncle Shen: Are you asleep?]

Wen Shuqiao wondered if they had arrived home.

She replied: "I was just about to go to sleep, are you home yet?"

Shen Jiazhou replied almost instantly: [I'm at the door.]

At the entrance?

Wen Shuqiao took a moment to realize that she was at her doorstep.

She said, "Okay, I'm coming."

Uncle Shen: No rush.

Wen Shuqiao got up and was about to get out of bed when she felt her clothes being grabbed.

She turned her head and saw Can Can looking at her. He also got up, took a few steps, and sat in Wen Shuqiao's lap: "Auntie? Where are you going?"

Wen Shuqiao hugged him: "Did I wake you up?"

Can Can rested her head on her shoulder, still sleepy, and replied in a soft, mushy voice, "I dreamt of Mommy."

She patted the back of his head: "Go to sleep, Auntie will go open the door for Uncle."

Can Can gave a long "hmm," but still held her tightly, curling her arms and legs around her, refusing to get down.

Wen Shuqiao asked again, "Baby?"

Can Can simply hugged her neck tightly, hanging on like a sloth, completely ignoring Wen Shu Qiao's words.

Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment and figured he was dreaming about his mother. He needed someone to keep him company right now, so she simply took a fluffy blanket, wrapped him up tightly, and left the bedroom with him in her arms.

Can Can felt safe being held, resting her head on her shoulder. Before they even reached the door, she tilted her head and fell asleep again.

Wen Shuqiao helplessly lifted him up a bit, quickly walked to the door, glanced through the peephole to make sure it was Shen Jiazhou standing outside, and then opened the door.

Shen Jiazhou was still considering how to start the conversation, since he needed a reason for coming back after just leaving. He looked up and saw Wen Shuqiao struggling to carry a baby sloth.

He pointed at Can Can, and Wen Shuqiao turned to the side to let him see her, then whispered, "Let's come in first and talk about it."

Shen Jiazhou originally intended to stand outside and finish talking to her, but when he saw Wen Shuqiao holding Cancan, he nodded and then lowered his voice and said, "Let me hold her."

Wen Shuqiao nodded, took a step back, and gestured for Shen Jiazhou to come inside.

Shen Jiazhou entered the house, and the two stood in the entrance hall. He bent down and gently carried the person and the blanket over.

Can Can opened her eyes and looked around. After realizing it was her uncle, she moved slightly and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Shen Jiazhou asked softly, "Why are you awake?"

He was fast asleep when he left, and his appearance was neither fully awake nor fully awake.

Wen Shuqiao said, "He's not awake yet, he's sticky."

It's normal for babies to be clingy. Wen Shuqiao pointed to the bedroom, and, afraid of waking them up, mouthed: "Take them in?"

Shen Jiazhou glanced at it and hesitated.

Wen Shuqiao waved her hand, indicating that it was alright.

She knew at first glance that Shen Jiazhou had something urgent to say, something that couldn't be explained in a few words, and that it wasn't convenient to talk while holding Can Can.

Shen Jiazhou nodded and followed Wen Shuqiao, carrying the child back to the bedroom.

After covering themselves with the blankets, the two stood by the bed for a while, making sure the baby wouldn't wake up again, before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.

Shen Jiazhou thought to himself that this was the first time in his more than twenty years of life that he had done something so secretive.

Can Can, you're such a clingy little thing!
