Before you know it, Cancan is in elementary school.

On his first day of elementary school, he wore the school uniform, a little yellow hat, and carried the Ultraman backpack he had bought during the summer vacation. He sat in the back seat, ready to go.

Wen Shuqiao drove him to the school gate. It was the opening ceremony today, and adults could still drive him in. Just as they arrived at the gate, they ran into An'an, who was also there for class.

They've moved to a villa area now, and the two good friends spend almost every day together, going to each other's houses, or having their driver take them to Fei Fei's place.

The three children have already become good brothers and sisters.

Can Can and An An walked in hand in hand, swaying as they chattered about cartoons, while Wen Shu Qiao and Xie Chu Ying followed behind.

Wen Shuqiao looked at Xie Chuying's stomach: "Are you going to the hospital in a few days?"

Xie Chuying smiled and held her pregnant belly: "I was originally going to go in the next couple of days, but I promised him that I would take him to his first day of primary school, so I changed it to tomorrow."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "I'll pick An'an up then. Since we're leaving from home anyway, it'll be good for the two of them to keep each other company."

Their villas are located at opposite ends of the house, with Wen Shuqiao's house a little further back and Xie Chuying's house in the middle, just a short walk away.

“Okay.” Xie Chuying said with a smile, “I won’t refuse. An’an doesn’t like being driven, so I’d like to call his uncle back to help me pick him up and drop him off.”

Xie Jingbei has started traveling around the world again in the past two years, but he only stays for a few days each time he comes back before leaving again.

Wen Shuqiao replied, "It's nothing. They'd probably be very happy if they knew they could go to school together."

The two chatted and laughed as they escorted Can Can and An An to the classroom door, where there were already quite a few children.

Can Can didn't rush inside, but returned to Wen Shu Qiao's side and took her hand.

Wen Shuqiao squatted down: "What's wrong?"

Can Can hugged her head and said, "Auntie, you have to come pick me up early this afternoon! Uncle isn't home, I need to go home and protect you."

Shen Jiazhou was also supposed to bring Cancan to school, but he had to go on a business trip overseas, and the timing was off, so he couldn't bring her.

However, I've already made a promise with CanCan that I'll bring him a gift when he comes back.

Wen Shuqiao hugged him back: "Okay, Auntie will definitely come to pick you up early today. You should also be brave and meet some other children today, okay?"

Can Can nodded vigorously, then pouted and kissed Wen Shu Qiao on the cheek. Wen Shu Qiao smiled and kissed him back: "Go ahead, An An is already waiting for you."

An'an also said goodbye to her mother, and now she is waiting for Can Can to say goodbye as well.

Can Can stopped being clingy and waved his hand, saying, "Bye-bye, Auntie! Remember me!"

Wen Shuqiao nodded and stood up: "Go quickly, baby."

Can Can and An An went inside hand in hand.

Xie Chuying said, "It's really amazing how these two boys were in kindergarten when they first met, and now they're in elementary school."

“Yes,” Wen Shuqiao echoed.

The two children had already taken their seats in the empty seats arranged by the teacher, and they were quite brave, starting to socialize with the children next to them.

Wen Shuqiao remembers that Can Can was quite shy and didn't like to talk much at first, but now she's completely different.

Now Can Can is brave and generous, and sometimes even Shen Jia Zhou can't argue with him.

The two watched for a while longer before leaving the school.

Xie Chuying was brought by her driver. Wen Shuqiao helped her into the car before going to find his own.

There are still quite a few breakfast vendors near the school gate, including takoyaki (octopus balls).

Wen Shuqiao seemed interested and was about to buy some, but after getting close and smelling the strong aroma, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. She calmed her chest, held her breath, and quickly walked past the takoyaki stall, thinking to herself, "This smell is too strong; it makes me feel nauseous."

I'll just buy some squid and cook it at home; it just so happens that CanCan loves to eat it.

Wen Shuqiao made up her mind and returned to the car. She had been quite busy lately. Her studio with Zhong Qi had been doing well in the past two years. During the summer vacation, she bought a new villa and planned to expand the studio.

Today was Can Can's first day of elementary school, so she made him a nice dinner as a way of celebrating.

She had just fastened her seatbelt when Zhong Qi called.

"Xiaoqi?"

"Sis, have you finished dropping off Cancan?"

"I've finished delivering, and I'm just about to head back now."

"Then come to the studio first. I'm having my period and I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable. The assistant is already getting ready for makeup, and the other photographers are all busy with their shoots and can't come."

"Okay, I'll be right there. I remember I have painkillers in my office, take one, don't try to tough it out."

Zhong Qi hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Wen Shuqiao drove briskly to the studio. She was busy until noon. After seeing off the customer, she went back to the office to find Zhong Qi, who was lying on the sofa looking up at the sky.

Wen Shuqiao asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhong Qi nodded: "I feel better, sis. Your medicine is working."

"As long as it works, you can go home this afternoon since you don't have any filming scheduled. Boss Zhong, you're a boss too, don't push yourself too hard. I can handle it." Wen Shuqiao looked at her face: "We haven't seen each other for just a few days, how come you look thinner?"

"It's hot, I don't have much of an appetite." Zhong Qi sighed. "I'm fine, how about you? Your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet."

“He does want to come back, but things haven’t been resolved. Even if he comes back, he’ll have to leave again in a couple of days.” Wen Shuqiao couldn’t help but smile when she talked about Shen Jiazhou. Every day when they video chatted, he would wail and wail about wanting to come back.
