Can Can played in the study for a while, and seeing that his uncle didn't seem to care about him, he went out on his own.

Shen Jiazhou lay on the ground for a while to recover, then got up. The room was heated, and he did some push-ups. Sweat dripped down his face, some of it disappearing into his collar.

He walked out of the study, and for some reason, he didn't dare to look towards the living room. He went straight back to the bedroom, and his heart was pounding. The image of Wen Shuqiao hugging him kept flashing through his mind.

...

Shen Jiazhou rushed into the bathroom. As soon as he entered, he turned his head slightly and saw himself in the mirror. He was covered in sweat and his face was abnormally red.

Sure enough, exercising makes you feel hot, but exercise is good for your health. I must have been too busy lately and haven't been exercising enough. Once I exercise more in the future, I'm sure I won't feel like this anymore.

Shen Jiazhou silently comforted himself, then went to take a hot shower with a clear conscience.

Can Can found her aunt upstairs; Wen Shu Qiao was working at the moment.

He walked over, bent down and squeezed into her arms. He looked at the computer curiously, but when he lost interest, he turned around, leaned against the table, and faced Wen Shuqiao: "Auntie, Uncle was just lying on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, doing this one step at a time."

With her fingers still on the keyboard, Wen Shuqiao said, "Do push-ups."

Can Can nodded: "Yes! I was clinging to Uncle, and he was like a horse at the amusement park! Auntie, when are you going to take me to play again? Which ride do I want to play again?"

Wen Shuqiao's train of thought was slightly diverted by Cancan, and she said, "After you've seen it, Dad will take you there."

Can Can knew he was going to see his father, but hadn't gone yet. He asked, "Auntie, when are we going?"

"Let's go on Saturday," Wen Shuqiao said. "How about it?"

She was chatting with Shen Jiazhou this afternoon. They had previously said they would take Can Can to visit Shen Jiachen, but unexpectedly, there were too many things going on lately, and she was also sick, so the visit to pay respects to Shen Jiachen was postponed again and again.

If this drags on, it'll be New Year's Day again in the blink of an eye.

So she and Shen Jiazhou decided that even if the sky were to fall, they would go see it this weekend.

Even though she's the closest to Can Can, she's always at the back.

Can Can nodded: "Okay!"

Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "Go downstairs and play with the milk and cake. It'll be time to eat soon."

Can Can looked down at the two little ones nestled beside his aunt's legs and nodded: "Auntie, can we bring milk and cake with us?"

“Okay, I’ll buy a cat carrier then, and you can carry Milk on your back, okay?” Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, “Take it over and let your dad see that you take such good care of them, and you can take good care of yourself too.”

Cancan answered forcefully, "Okay!"

He happily picked up Milk, who just glanced at him lazily before snuggling into his arms with her eyes half-closed. Cake watched him leave, then slowly stood up and followed him out of Wen Shuqiao's room.

The bedroom door closed, and Wen Shuqiao leaned back in her chair, her palms resting on the table as she looked at the document, but her mind went blank for a moment.

I didn't think about anything, I didn't consider anything.

She took a deep breath, shook her head, and focused her attention on the computer.

However, as she typed on the computer keyboard, she inexplicably recalled the day Shen Jiazhou stretched out his well-defined knuckles and asked her in a serious tone which hand held the crumpled paper.

And his face had suddenly turned bright red, as if he had been boiled alive. She had actually seen it, but she was too embarrassed to look any longer.

Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips slightly, raised her hand to fan her face, patted her face, cursed herself as a pervert, and then forced her brain to focus on the document.

Going to work, going to work, I love going to work!

But before she could even get into work mode, Can Can came again. He pressed his hands against the door and said, "Auntie, Uncle asked me to call you. Dinner's ready!"

Wen Shuqiao stood up: "Coming."

She took her phone, held Can Can's hand, and went downstairs together. Halfway down, they saw Shen Jiazhou sitting at the dining table.

He was staring at his phone when he heard the noise on the stairs. He looked up and met Wen Shuqiao's gaze, then naturally looked away and continued looking at his phone.

He didn't swipe his phone again until Wen Shuqiao and Cancan came downstairs.

Wen Shuqiao sat down opposite him, and Can Can sat next to her. When she saw the fried chicken leg on the plate, her eyes lit up: "Auntie, I want to eat a chicken leg!"

As soon as Wen Shuqiao sat down and was about to pick up his chopsticks to put one on his plate, Shen Jiazhou across from him had already put one on his plate.

"Help yourself, you're a little adult now." Shen Jiazhou put away his chopsticks.

Can Can didn't care. She put on her little gloves and started gnawing on the chicken leg. She took a bite and found it crispy and juicy.

It smells delicious!

Delicious, Can Can shook his head and swallowed. Then he dipped the chicken leg in the tomato sauce that Grandma had specially prepared for him. With one bite, the chicken leg had an extra touch of sweet and sour flavor.

He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Wen Shuqiao: "Auntie, it's so delicious~ Can I eat it again tomorrow?"

Wen Shuqiao turned her head slightly to look at him: "Eating too much will cause internal heat. Eat it again in a few days."

Can Can nodded regretfully; it seemed she would have to eat more today.

Shen Jiazhou picked up his chopsticks and pursed his lips: "If he likes to eat..."

Wen Shuqiao looked at him, and Shen Jiazhou paused before changing his words, saying, "Even if you like it, you can't eat too much, it'll cause internal heat..."

The more he talked, the less confident he became.

"That's how it is." Wen Shuqiao didn't pay attention to Shen Jiazhou's tone, but simply put some green vegetables on Cancan's plate: "Eat them together."

Can Can secretly pouted, but still obediently picked up her baby chopsticks and fiercely ate the vegetables.

Shen Jiazhou's gaze shifted from the dishes on the table to Wen Shuqiao. He glanced at her briefly, but he could still see that she looked as usual, seemingly untroubled by the "accident" that had happened not long ago.

He poked the rice in his bowl lightly with his chopsticks, somewhat absentmindedly.

Sitting across from him, Can Can munched on a chicken leg while looking at his uncle with a puzzled expression. He asked indistinctly, "Uncle? Why are you poking at the rice?"

Because Can Can spoke, Wen Shu Qiao also looked up at Shen Jia Zhou sitting opposite her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's alright." Shen Jiazhou also picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and gently placed it into Can Can's bowl, despite her resistant gaze.

Shen Jiazhou said, "It's good for children to eat more vegetables."

Can Can's face fell. Uncle is such a bad guy! Baby clearly warned Uncle with her eyes!

Shen Jiazhou smiled slightly at him. "You brat, try to outdo me. You'll have to study for a few more years!"
