When Can Can woke up, she rolled around on the bed several times.

He put on his pajamas, lowered the railing, and quietly finished washing up by himself.

He then opened the door to the children's room and went out, where there was a cake and milk lying at his door.

Can Can glanced at the cake a few more times and realized that he couldn't guess what the cake was trying to say, but he didn't take it to heart. He went to the kitchen to check, but didn't find anyone, so he went to the master bedroom.

The master bedroom door wasn't closed properly, so he pushed it open and went inside.

Wen Shuqiao slightly raised her head from the bed, and Cancan ran over with a smile. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her aunt make a shushing gesture.

He quickly covered his mouth with both hands, and the dog sneaked over to Wen Shuqiao's bedside.

Wen Shuqiao patted the bed lightly, and Cancan happily took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed. Like a ball, she rolled around once and then rolled into her aunt's arms.

Can Can called out softly, "Auntie."

Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "Baby."

Can Can looked at her uncle, who was fast asleep with his head resting against her aunt's shoulder, and quietly asked, "Why hasn't Uncle woken up yet?"

"Uncle isn't feeling well and won't be going to work today. Does baby want to go to school today? If not, I'll message your teacher to ask for leave." Wen Shuqiao thought it over and decided that she should respect Cancan's choice.

To everyone's surprise, Can Can's eyes lit up when he heard that he didn't have to go to kindergarten, and he almost couldn't hold back his voice. However, after seeing his uncle's sleeping face, he covered his mouth and said, "I want to stay at home with my aunt and uncle."

Wen Shuqiao kissed him again, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Okay, stay with us."

After realizing he wouldn't be going to kindergarten, Can Can wriggled a few more times, hugged Wen Shu Qiao tightly, and asked, "Auntie, shall we go out and play today?"

Wen Shuqiao thought about it and decided that going out for a walk would be a good idea. Today was a weekday, so there would be fewer people wherever she went, and the weather was nice too, making it a good day for a spring outing.

She nodded: "Okay, we'll go out and play after Uncle wakes up."

Can Can nodded and said, "Okay, where are we going?"

Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment and suddenly remembered a place: there was a temple in the south of the city that was said to be very efficacious.

She had wanted to go and see it before, but because it was too far away, she had never been.

She asked, "How about going to a temple? Has the baby ever been to a temple?"

Can Can shook her head: "No, is it fun?"

"You can browse, look around, and even make a wish." Wen Shuqiao asked, "Does the baby have a wish?"

"Yes," Can Can said, "I have so many wishes."

As he spoke, he raised both hands to show that he had many wishes.

Wen Shuqiao glanced at it and laughed, "So many!"

Can Can nodded: "Yes, because I'm a greedy baby."

What a greedy little baby.

Wen Shuqiao pinched Cancan's cheek, and Cancan rubbed against Wen Shuqiao's fingers like a kitten or puppy: "Auntie, do you have a wish?"

"Auntie hopes the baby can grow up healthy, safe, and happy," Wen Shuqiao said. "That would make Auntie super, super happy."

Can Can said "Oh," and then said, "I also want my aunt and uncle to grow up healthy, safe, and happy."

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "Silly girl, my uncle and I are just getting old."

Cancan's lips were pouting so much they could hang a bottle of vinegar: "I don't want you to get old."

Kindergarten actually taught a lot, and Can Can is already different from herself six months ago!

This is called "today is different from yesterday" (the present is different from the past)!

"Getting old is a process. My baby is growing up, and my uncle and I are growing up too. As long as our family is healthy and safe, we will be happy whether we are growing up or getting old."

Cancan played with Wen Shuqiao's hair with her fingers: "Well, okay then, can you grow old slowly? I want to grow up quickly so I don't have to go to kindergarten anymore."

Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "Okay, I'll listen to you. My uncle and I will grow old together."

Can Can was happy now. He raised his head and kissed Wen Shu Qiao's cheek hard: "Okay!"

Then he climbed out of Wen Shuqiao's arms, lay on top of her, and gently placed a kiss on the cheek of the sleeping Shen Jiazhou.

Wen Shuqiao looked at him, then turned her gaze to Shen Jiazhou, leaned over, and kissed Shen Jiazhou on the forehead.

Then the two sober individuals, one big and one small, exchanged a glance and both smirked.

Shen Jiazhou slept very soundly during his second nap. He thought he would dream, but he didn't dream at all. When he woke up, he felt more energetic.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt someone leaning against his back. He turned his head and saw Can Can sitting behind him in her pajamas, leisurely playing with a Rubik's Cube.

He had so many toys that he hadn't seen Cancan play with a Rubik's Cube in ages. He even had a yogurt stick in his mouth, looking incredibly content.

Shen Jiazhou stared at his profile, hesitated for a moment, and then called out in a hoarse voice, "Baby?"

When Can Can heard his uncle calling him, he turned his head, biting on a yogurt stick, and mumbled, "Uncle, you're awake!"

Shen Jiazhou looked at his soft profile, then turned over to face him directly.

Can Can chewed the yogurt stick and swallowed it, then put down the Rubik's Cube in her hand, bent over and lay down, her face facing her uncle's, and then laughed foolishly.

Shen Jiazhou asked, "What's so funny?"

"Uncle, you're awake now, so we can go out and play! Auntie said we're going on a spring outing today!" Cancan showed her little teeth: "Get up quickly, Uncle! Are you hungry? Auntie bought me custard buns and shrimp dumplings this morning, they were so delicious! I saved one for you, do you like them, Uncle?"

Shen Jiazhou watched as Can Can's little mouth kept moving. He took a deep breath and touched his face: "Uncle likes it."

Can Can asked again, "Auntie said you weren't feeling well. Uncle, are you feeling better now?"

Shen Jiazhou paused for a moment, then said, "Much better."

Can Can chuckled twice, then leaned over and kissed him: "Get up, Uncle!"

Shen Jiazhou closed his eyes and said, "...Don't eat candy next time, it's sticky."

Can Can wouldn't listen. Taking advantage of her uncle's inattention, she domineeringly cupped his face and gave him a heavy kiss on the cheek, determined to smear some of her uncle's saliva on him.

After the kiss, she nimbly rolled over and got out of bed, as slippery as a little eel, impossible to catch.

He ran to the door, not forgetting to turn back and say, "Uncle, hurry up!"

After saying that, he ran away, and the cake lying on the ground saw him leave and jogged after him.

Shen Jiazhou looked at the wide-open master bedroom door, his brows furrowed slightly, and finally, he revealed a gentle smile.
