The car drove smoothly on the road, and the further down the mountain it went, the less snow there was.

Shen Jiazhou held Cancan in his arms, and Cancan was fast asleep on his shoulder. He gently pinched the back of Cancan's neck a couple of times, and then his gaze fell on Wen Shuqiao beside him.

The car was quiet; all he could hear was breathing. Wen Shuqiao had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

That's true. She probably didn't get much rest these past two days. The first day was jet lag, and he ended up getting a fever. Later, he asked Can Can about it alone, and Wen Shu Qiao came to check on him almost every few minutes.

Yesterday, we went back to my maternal grandmother's house and went up the mountain. By the time everything was settled, it was at least midnight before I could go to sleep. This morning, I got up early and took the energetic Can Can for a walk around the hotel area. When I got up, they hadn't returned yet.

Wen Shuqiao leaned back in her chair to sleep, sitting very properly. Shen Jiazhou looked at her profile openly.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, the car hit a speed bump and wobbled, causing Wen Shuqiao to fall towards him as well.

Shen Jiazhou reacted quickly, deftly shifting Cancan's head to the other shoulder, then reached out and firmly supported Wen Shuqiao's head with his palm.

He dragged Can Can to the middle a bit, moved his left shoulder, and let Wen Shu Qiao lean steadily against him.

Can Can was half asleep. He opened his eyes briefly, not quite realizing what was happening, when he felt his uncle gently patting his back. He didn't make a sound, closed his eyes, and fell back asleep peacefully.

Shen Jiazhou breathed a sigh of relief after he felt Cancan's breathing calm down again.

After glancing at the two men through the car window, he whispered to the driver in the front, "Drive slowly, don't rush."

The driver glanced at them through the rearview mirror, nodded silently, and slowed down the car.

It was an hour later when the car arrived at the entrance of the resort.

The snow in the city has started to melt, and the weather looks much better.

He was hesitating about how to wake Wen Shuqiao when he felt the head on his left shoulder move.

Wen Shuqiao opened her eyes, straightened up, her mind clearly still a bit foggy. She stretched her slightly stiff neck and asked in a hoarse voice, "Have we arrived?"

She turned to look at Shen Jiazhou and realized that the two of them were very close. Wen Shuqiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had probably fallen asleep next to Shen Jiazhou the whole way.

Shen Jiazhou looked at her: "I just arrived, I was just about to wake you up."

Wen Shuqiao blinked: "Am I...?"

"It's nothing," Shen Jiazhou interrupted her. "The car just bumped a little not long ago."

Wen Shuqiao was really fast asleep and had no recollection of it. She said, "Thank you, you've worked hard."

"I got drunk before, and you had a hard time too," Shen Jiazhou said in a very natural tone, as if they were helping each other out.

Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips and glanced at Shen Jiazhou a few more times.

When he woke up, Shen Jiazhou obviously had no reaction at all; he must have blacked out. Why is he bringing this up again today?

You remembered again?

But before she could think any further, Shen Jiazhou said, "Can Can can't be woken up. Go downstairs and open the door for me. I'll carry him inside."

Can Can really acted like a little pig at this moment. Shen Jia Zhou patted his butt several times, but he didn't react at all.

Wen Shuqiao put the matter aside, quickly nodded, opened her side of the car door, and got out.

After the car door closed, Shen Jiazhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, completely different from his calm and collected demeanor just moments before.

However, both adults very naturally let bygones be bygones on the little incident in the car. It wasn't until they entered the villa that Can Can was awakened by other noises.

But she still leaned on her uncle's shoulder to calm herself down.

Gu Xingyuan and Yu Mingxue were already sitting in the hall waiting for them. Gu Xingyuan glanced at Can Can, who was being held by Shen Jiazhou: "Asleep?"

Shen Jiazhou turned around, letting him and Yu Mingxue take a look. Cancan was awake, but not fully awake.

Upon seeing the two of them, he buried his face again, not wanting them to see him.

Wen Shuqiao explained, "I'm still a little groggy after waking up, but I'll feel better after a while."

It was tough on Shen Jiazhou, because Can Can didn't want to get down and insisted on clinging to him, so he had to carry him like that.

Gu Xingyuan said, "It's getting late. I just ordered dining service, which will be delivered to your room at 8 o'clock sharp. Let's go upstairs first."

Shen Jiazhou moved his shoulder and asked, "Are you awake?"

Can Can simply tightened her grip on Shen Jia Zhou's arm, unwilling to get down.

Wen Shuqiao said gently, "How about I carry you?"

Shen Jiazhou said, "It won't be long. Let's go upstairs first. We'll be in our room soon."

He carried Can Can and walked towards the elevator first, with Wen Shu Qiao quickly following.

Gu Xingyuan and Yu Mingxue whispered to each other, "Look, no one would believe we're not family."

Yu Mingxue curled the corners of her lips in agreement.

Shen Jiazhou turned around and glanced at them: "What are you two whispering about?"

As Yu Mingxue walked, she said, "I just think Cancan looks a lot like you."

Yu Mingxue smiled and continued, "I remember when Shen Er was little, he also liked to lean on Chen Ge's shoulder and hum softly."

Cancan is practically a carbon copy of Shen Jiazhou.

Shen Jiazhou stopped in his tracks, turning halfway around before looking at Yu Mingxue with a serious expression and saying, "Stop spreading rumors."

Who is like Can Can, this little pig who whines and whines all day long?

Yu Mingxue shrugged at Wen Shuqiao: "That's just how Shen Er is. He was cuter when he was little, but now..."

"Yu Mingxue," Shen Jiazhou called her name.

Yu Mingxue replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Gu Xingyuan put his arm around Yu Mingxue's shoulder, standing up for his girlfriend: "I wasn't saying anything bad about you. You were so cute when you were little! I was just praising you!"

Shen Jiazhou rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the couple, and continued walking towards the elevator with Can Can in his arms.

Wen Shuqiao quickly caught up and asked, "When you were little..."

Shen Jiazhou started looking resentful again.

Wen Shuqiao changed her tune, saying, "You're doing very well now, and you're very cute."

Shen Jiazhou coughed lightly and said in a moderate voice, "It's fine to praise me for being handsome, what's the point of praising me for being cute?"

Wen Shuqiao clicked her tongue lightly: "Praising you, and you're still pointing fingers."

Yu Mingxue and Gu Xingyuan, who were a step behind, couldn't help but exchange a glance after hearing this conversation.

Gu Xingyuan suppressed a laugh and hugged Yu Mingxue tighter. He was about to speak when Yu Mingxue stopped him.

Yu Mingxue made a shushing gesture, saying that matters of the heart are best left to the parties involved to handle.

It's easy for things to go strange once external factors are involved.

Gu Xingyuan nodded knowingly, then shut his mouth and said nothing more.
