Wen Shuqiao came downstairs after getting ready, and Shen Jiazhou also took a shower and sat in the living room, where Can Can was diligently drying his hair with a hairdryer.

After noticing Wen Shuqiao coming downstairs, Shen Jiazhou turned his head and smiled at her.

Wen Shuqiao paused, wondering why Shen Jiazhou's smile seemed strange.

She walked over and sat down. Can Can was already circling around Shen Jia Zhou with a hairdryer, and when she saw her aunt, she proudly said, "Auntie, I'm drying Uncle's hair! It's doing a great job!"

Wen Shuqiao gave a thumbs up: "Amazing."

Can Can started singing Jasmine Flower again, but Shen Jiazhou took the hairdryer, scratched his hair, and said, "Okay, it's all dry now."

Can Can was a little skeptical, so he ran his hand over his uncle's hair. After confirming that it was indeed dry, he nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll put the hairdryer back!"

Shen Jiazhou unplugged the device: "Thank you, baby!"

Upon hearing this, Can Can became even more enthusiastic, and wearing slippers, he led his two loyal followers back to Shen Jia Zhou's bedroom.

Wen Shuqiao asked, "What did you say to him? You seemed so excited today."

Shen Jiazhou got up from the candy-colored animal stool and sat on the sofa. He replied, "I didn't say anything. I just said I'd come back early tomorrow and bring him a skewer of rock sugar strawberries."

"No wonder." Wen Shuqiao understood.

Shen Jiazhou was still smiling at her. Wen Shuqiao felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She touched her face and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"

But then he saw Shen Jiazhou shake his head.

Wen Shuqiao was even more puzzled: "Then why are you staring at me?"

Shen Jiazhou then said, "I heard from Can Can that you praised me today."

A hint of confusion flashed in Wen Shuqiao's eyes. Had she praised her?

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but snort, "So it wasn't true after all."

"Could you..." Wen Shuqiao asked tentatively, "give me a hint?"

Shen Jiazhou chuckled twice, then rolled over and leaned back on the sofa without saying a word.

Just then, Can Can returned, and with a big leap, he jumped right between the two of them and sat down.

Wen Shuqiao asked, "What did I say to praise my uncle?"

Shen Jiazhou said resentfully, "There's no sincerity."

Can Can turned to look at Wen Shu Qiao and exclaimed, "Auntie, you're praising Uncle for being cute!"

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but cough lightly; so that's what it was about.

She then looked at Shen Jiazhou, who sighed, "I'm so old, isn't it a bit strange to still praise someone as cute? Don't do that next time."

System: [Sigh.]

Can Can was listening attentively to her uncle when she heard the system sigh. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you sighing?"

The system commented: "My uncle seems like a peacock courting a mate, sigh."

His aloof and dignified little uncle!

I can't watch it anymore, I absolutely can't watch it!

Cancan said, "Peacocks are so beautiful! Uncle Xingyuan and I saw one at the zoo last time!"

[...] The system muttered: "What did I say to you?"

What can a child understand?

It was so frustrated it was about to vomit blood, but Can Can would just look at it cutely and say, "I don't know!"

That's completely irrelevant!

Wen Shuqiao said, "Cuteness knows no age."

She explained, "Can Can asked me if I was a narcissistic uncle, and I said no, I said you were an adorable uncle."

Shen Jiazhou then looked at Cancan and asked, "What are you nagging me about all day long?"

Can Can looked completely innocent: "No! What do you mean, 'go away'?"

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shen Jiazhou's ears turned bright red, and he immediately pulled Cancan into his arms: "You little rascal, don't think I don't know you understand. You're definitely going to get a spanking today."

He then slapped Can Can's bottom twice. Can Can cried out twice, then turned her head and said, "Uncle, it didn't hurt at all."

Before the cake could run wildly and bump into him, it would hurt.

Shen Jiazhou almost laughed in anger, and he slapped him again: "You really deserve it, who did you learn that from?"

They even made demands.

Can Can pouted: "But it's wrong of you to hit me. I'll have Auntie hit you instead."

Upon hearing him speak, Shen Jiazhou raised his eyelids and looked at Wen Shuqiao beside him.

Wen Shuqiao silently picked up the remote control, her meaning clear: don't let this affect her.

Shen Jiazhou laughed and said, "Your aunt won't help you beat me up."

Can Can didn't believe it. He nimbly climbed off Shen Jiazhou's lap, turned around and gently fell into Wen Shuqiao's arms. He reached out and hooked his arms around Wen Shuqiao's neck, and said aggrievedly, "Auntie, Uncle spanked my bottom, it hurts."

Wen Shuqiao glanced down at him and said, "Why does this move look so familiar? Your uncle used it before."

Shen Jiazhou was about to ask when he had ever done such a thing when he suddenly remembered what had happened before.

...

Okay, I have used it.

The system was also shocked: [Huh? Uncle's even acting cute? Huh? Huh?]

Is this right? Is this right?!

It felt that every time it went offline and reappeared, the development was always beyond its imagination.

Can Can got up again, straddled her lap, leaned on her shoulder, pouted, and tears streamed down her face.

Shen Jiazhou just looked at him like that, and his tears fell like pearls, one by one, onto Wen Shuqiao's clothes.

Feeling a dampness on her neck, Wen Shuqiao shrugged: "Why are you crying? Your uncle didn't even cry last time."

Shen Jiazhou muttered, "Don't try to put me on the same level as this little brat."

Can Can wouldn't listen, and whimpered, "Uncle spanked my bottom."

Drama queen, a total drama queen!

Shen Jiazhou said expressionlessly, "Tomorrow I'll buy some firecrackers and set them off at your dad's grave. Our family is about to produce an Oscar winner."

Can Can snorted and buried her face in her hands, remaining silent.

The system is already numb. It finally came back today, and now it's being shown a drama of vying for favor?

Isn't that a bit too ambitious?
