Can Can was taken to brush her teeth and wash her mouth again. She even went to the toilet before going to bed. Only after all the preparations were completed did she feel at ease and go to bed.

Shen Jiazhou stood by the bed, looking down at Cancan who was rolling around on the bed: "Go to sleep early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Uncle," Can Can assured, "Auntie will hold me for a bit, and I'll fall asleep right away."

Shen Jiazhou bent down and pinched his nose: "You certainly know how to arrange a place for yourself."

Can Can grunted a few times like a little pig, but finally realized she still couldn't breathe through her nose. Can Can said angrily, "Uncle, Auntie told you not to mess with me, why don't you ever listen to Auntie?"

Wen Shuqiao went out to get the charger, and Shen Jiazhou bent down and asked, "Your aunt is your aunt, I don't need to listen to her."

"You're the aunt's wife, why can't you listen?" Can Can asked, puzzled. "An An said that wives and husbands should listen to each other, right?"

Shen Jiazhou went from pinching his nose to covering his mouth, his ear tips turning slightly red: "Don't talk nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pinch your mouth shut like a little duck."

Can Can mumbled a few times, then realized that her uncle had covered her mouth tightly. In the end, she could only nod, and Shen Jia Zhou finally let go of her hand.

Just then, Wen Shuqiao returned with the charger. She looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The atmosphere was tense, like swords were about to be drawn.

Shen Jiazhou straightened up: "It's okay, it's okay. I just drank too much and I'm a little dizzy. I'll just say goodnight to Can Can."

After saying that, he glanced at Can Can again, warning her with his eyes not to say anything out of line.

Can Can simply rolled over, pulled the blanket over her head, and left her uncle with a dashing yet stubborn back view.

You naughty uncle, when you get old, I won't buy you a wheelchair or a cane!

[...] The system is hard to evaluate. If I remember correctly, before it was just about losing wheelchairs and crutches, but now it won't even buy new ones. It seems they are really angry.

Wen Shuqiao's gaze fell on Shen Jiazhou's face. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you're not feeling well tonight, send me a message."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiazhou subconsciously pursed his lips. He had just said that casually, but after meeting Wen Shuqiao's gaze, he couldn't help but awkwardly reply, "Um... okay."

Wen Shuqiao said, "Good night."

"...Goodnight." Shen Jiazhou left the children's room reluctantly.

Wen Shuqiao plugged in the charger, lifted the blanket and lay down. Three seconds later, Cancan, wrapped in the blanket, rolled precisely into her arms, hugging Wen Shuqiao tightly, tilting her little head up, and revealing a bright smile: "Wow! Auntie!"

Wen Shuqiao gently stroked his cheek with her finger: "Wow, baby."

Can Can nestled her face against her body and mumbled, "Auntie, I haven't slept with you in so long. Can you hold me while we sleep tonight?"

Wen Shuqiao pulled him closer to her with her arm: "Okay, I'll sleep with you in my arms."

Can Can was so happy that his tail was practically wagging. He rolled over and hung most of his body on Wen Shu Qiao. His mouth started chattering nonstop, talking about An An soaking in the hot springs and then about kindergarten.

Wen Shuqiao already knew what he was sharing, but she was still surprised to hear it. Can Can talked even more enthusiastically, and she didn't seem sleepy for more than half an hour.

Wen Shuqiao pulled her slightly numb arm out and asked, "It's almost time, baby, it's time to sleep."

Can Can didn't want to sleep. He had finally managed to sleep with his aunt, and he was being all sticky and whimpering.

Wen Shuqiao said, "Children need to go to bed early and get up early to grow tall."

"Like your uncle?" Can Can asked. "But when your uncle lies on the sofa, he looks like a long ribbonfish."

Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly. "Ribbonfish?" Did Shen Jiazhou know that his nephew was describing him like that?

They probably don't know. If they did, Can Can's butt would probably be in trouble.

Can Can pinched Wen Shu Qiao's earlobe with his fingers again and asked in Wen Shu Qiao's ear, "Auntie, are we not taking Uncle with us when we move?"

His uncle is family too; it feels strange not to bring his uncle along.

Moreover, he has already gotten used to his uncle being around.

Wen Shuqiao hugged him and whispered, "You can bring him. If your uncle is willing to come with us, he can sleep with you."

Can Can gave a crisp "Mmm": "I'm willing, I'm willing to sleep with Uncle."

"Go to sleep now, and we'll talk to your uncle later, okay?" Wen Shuqiao coaxed gently. Can Can closed her eyes, thought for a moment, then opened them again and said, "Auntie, can you sing me Jasmine Flower? I want to listen to Jasmine Flower to fall asleep."

Grandma Zhang sings so beautifully! My aunt must sing even better!

Wen Shuqiao hummed softly and began humming the tune of Jasmine Flower, singing a few lines every now and then. Can Can pinched her ear and comfortably closed his eyes, but he felt like he had forgotten something, something about his uncle...

I can't remember, so... even if... um... zzzZZZ

Before Wen Shuqiao could finish humming a song, she heard the little pig in her arms breathing very evenly.

"Baby? Baby?" Wen Shuqiao called softly a couple of times, but Can Can didn't answer; she had really fallen asleep.

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with laughter. Her sleep quality was still so good.

She waited a while longer, then gently removed Cancan's fingers from her ear, tucked them under the covers, and then sneakily got out of bed.

It's not even 9:30 yet, and she really can't fall asleep.

After getting out of bed, I turned off the light and quietly left the children's room.

When she came out, she saw Shen Jiazhou sitting on the sofa.

Shen Jiazhou turned around upon hearing the voice, and after seeing it was her, asked, "Why did you come out?"

Wen Shuqiao closed the door and replied, "Cancan is asleep. I can't sleep, so I came out to play on my phone for a while."

She also asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Shen Jiazhou waved his phone in his hand: "I couldn't sleep either, so I came over to deal with some work emails."

Wen Shuqiao sat down on the sofa: "You must be tired. Will my phone being on my phone bother you?"

"Not much, we're almost done watching it." Shen Jiazhou turned to look at her, thought for a moment and asked, "How about we watch a movie? We have nothing else to do anyway."

“Sure,” Wen Shuqiao said. “I’ll turn on the TV.”

Shen Jiazhou had already gotten up, picked up the remote control that was placed to the side, pressed it, and the TV turned on.

Shen Jiazhou returned with the remote control: "What do you want to watch? Choose for yourself?"

Wen Shuqiao didn't stand on ceremony. After finding a whole bunch, she asked, "Do you watch horror movies?"

Shen Jiazhou slid his fingertip along the edge of the phone and finally hummed in agreement: "See? Horror movies aren't all that great."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Yes, it depends on the atmosphere. Usually, it's all about ghosts and spirits, while foreign ones are all about blood and gore."

Shen Jiazhou's Adam's apple bobbed: "Yes."

It's all just a bunch of charlatans!
