The next day.

Can Can squatted next to the bowls of milk and cake, watching them work hard to eat.

The two little ones have grown quite a bit in this time, and you can no longer tell that they used to be strays. After they finished eating, they followed Can Can around playing with their toy cars.

A person, a cat, and a dog can all play until they're covered in sweat.

It was the weekend, and Wen Shuqiao didn't have to work. She cleaned the house thoroughly. Seeing Can Can sweating profusely, she helplessly wiped his sweat with a tissue. Then she found a clean towel and slipped it inside his clothes to wipe his sweat to prevent him from catching a cold.

Can Can waited for her aunt to wipe her sweat, then asked, "Auntie, why hasn't Uncle come yet?"

He's been up for ages, why haven't I seen my uncle yet? Usually, I can see him as soon as I get up.

Wen Shuqiao said, "It's the weekend today, Uncle needs to rest too."

Can Can said, "But, but, but Uncle came before too."

I told you long ago, the baby's plan was flawless! It's a pity that the uncle doesn't have any money.

But if my uncle insists on staying, well, that's not impossible. He can write an IOU! That way, he can spend every day with my aunt and uncle.

Super awesome! (●'?'●)

The system scoffed: "Don't you know there's a difference between men and women? An uncle can't stay at his aunt's place."

Can Can said unhappily, "Why? I can give my room to my uncle."

Anyway, since he sleeps with his aunt, the room is empty.

The system snorted: "You don't understand anything. They just can't live together anyway."

"You don't understand anything!" Can Can said angrily. "My uncle slept in my room before!"

[...] The system code paused for a moment: [? ??? What did you say??]

When did this happen? And what did it miss?

Why is my uncle sleeping here?!

Can Can scoffed: "You're the one who doesn't understand anything, you idiot!"

Wen Shuqiao carefully wiped the sweat off his back, then found a clean towel and stuffed it on his back: "Take it off yourself later."

Can Can said, "Okay, Auntie, I don't want to play anymore. I want to watch TV, is that okay?"

The system said: [Don't look! You still haven't answered me when my uncle started sleeping here!]

Can Can ignored the system and followed Wen Shuqiao to the sofa. Wen Shuqiao put his favorite dog team on for him, and soon Milk jumped up and squeezed behind him to lick his feet.

The cake spun around under the sofa a few times, whimpering softly, before Can Can finally got off the sofa and picked it up.

Wen Shuqiao chuckled as she watched him looking so relaxed. Just as she was about to return to the dining table to attend to her own business, there was a knock on the door.

With her sharp ears, Can Can immediately turned her head to look at the door: "Auntie, Auntie, it must be Uncle who's here!"

Wen Shuqiao walked over, opened the peephole and looked inside. Sure enough, it was Shen Jiazhou. However, it wasn't just him; there was another person standing beside him. Was it Gu Xingyuan? He was also carrying two bags.

Wen Shuqiao opened the door, and Gu Xingyuan greeted her, "Good morning, Shuqiao!"

Wen Shuqiao nodded slightly: "Good morning, please come in."

Shen Jiazhou glanced at Gu Xingyuan and said, "Gu Xingyuan doesn't have to come in either."

She insisted on following him in early in the morning, like a sticky candy.

Gu Xingyuan scoffed, "Even Shu Qiao hasn't said anything, and you're still babbling on and on."

He stepped forward and smiled at Wen Shuqiao: "Excuse me, Shuqiao!"

Wen Shuqiao silently made room for the two of them to enter. As soon as Gu Xingyuan entered, he called out, "Xiao Bao!"

Can Can had been staring longingly at the doorway, and her eyes lit up when she heard Gu Xingyuan's voice: "Uncle Xingyuan!"

He flipped off the sofa in one swift motion, shuffling over in his slippers. Gu Xingyuan bent down and picked him up, exclaiming, "Oh, Uncle's little treasure!"

Can Can cupped his face in her hands and looked him over from all sides before asking in confusion, "Uncle Xingyuan, how did you find our family?"

Gu Xingyuan said, "Your uncle came with your younger uncle. We haven't seen each other all night. Did you miss your uncle?"

Can Can smiled with her lips pursed, but didn't say anything.

Gu Xingyuan understood. He said, "You won't even pretend to coax your uncle."

Can Can honestly replied, "But my aunt said I can't lie to people. I like you so much, so I definitely can't lie to you."

Gu Xingyuan caught a cichlid, but he didn't think about it. Anyway, Xiaobao still liked him.

Shen Jiazhou said from behind him, "If you're not going in, then go out. What are you doing blocking this way?"

Gu Xingyuan then put Cancan down and handed her a gift bag: "Uncle bought strawberries and cherries for you and your aunt. Do you like them?"

Strawberries! He loves strawberries!

But what are cherries? I've never had one before!

The system snorted: [You glutton! Go ask your aunt to wash you.]

Can Can obediently handed the gift bag to Wen Shu Qiao: "Auntie, I want to eat it."

Wen Shuqiao took the gift bag: "I'll go wash it, you can do as you please."

Gu Xingyuan took out the new slippers from another bag. It was incredibly self-service. After changing into the slippers, he glanced at Shen Jiazhou with an air of smug satisfaction, then took Can Can's hand and went to the sofa.

Shen Jiazhou was already unhappy, and now, seeing Gu Xingyuan's irritating expression, he felt even more annoyed. He skillfully took out his own pair of house shoes from the shoe cabinet, put them on, and went into the living room.

The air conditioning was on in the living room, and the temperature was much higher than outside. He took off his coat and draped it over the floor-standing coat rack next to him, then glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa.
