After feeding them, Can Can saw his aunt watching him from the sofa, so he quickly ran to the sofa and sat down, wanting to get close to Wen Shu Qiao.

Wen Shuqiao hugged him and asked, "How was your first day of elementary school?"

“An’an and I met a lot of classmates.” Can Can played with Wen Shuqiao’s long hair with her fingers. “The teacher also gave us new textbooks. I opened the Chinese textbook and I recognize a lot of the characters.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Wen Shuqiao exclaimed. "Baby, you're the most amazing baby ever!"

Can Can couldn't contain his joy. He said, "Auntie, I'll get a perfect score on my test and come back to show you!"

“Okay.” Wen Shuqiao said, “Auntie is looking forward to your baby getting a perfect score. Even if you don’t get a perfect score, don’t be discouraged. What should we do? Auntie and Uncle have taught you before.”

Cancan said firmly, "Fill in the gaps!"

"That's amazing!" Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "My baby has such a good memory!"

Can Can nodded modestly and said, "It's so-so!"

Wen Shuqiao helped him up: "How about I reward you with watching cartoons today? How about your aunt cooks plum-flavored pork ribs and shrimp for you tonight?"

"Okay! I won't watch TV now, I'll peel the garlic!" Cancan said. "I can also wash vegetables!"

Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou had already planned out the direction of Cancan's education from the beginning, not only in terms of academics, but also in terms of letting him do some things within his ability in life.

She tidied her room, organized her toys, swept the floor, peeled garlic, and developed good hygiene habits.

At first, Can Can would be a little lazy and ask the two adults to do things for him, but over time, he got used to it and sometimes even took the initiative to help with some housework.

She's such a model student!

Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "Okay, let's get started now. After we eat, we still need to learn musical instruments."

Can Can has never missed any of her extracurricular classes. She started with the erhu and flute, and later she started playing the guzheng and the piano. Just the other day, she told An An that she wanted to go dancing with her.

The two kids are like they're locked in a battle of wills, starting to compete at a young age. And Can Can learns everything quickly, his brain really comes from his parents. She and Shen Jiazhou rarely worry about his studies.

Can Can kept talking about what he saw and heard at school today. Just as he finished peeling a clove of garlic, his smartwatch rang.

He glanced at it; it was his uncle calling.

"Hey! Uncle!"

Shen Jiazhou asked, "Baby, where's your aunt?"

Wen Shuqiao glanced back and continued processing the ribs.

Can Can said, "Auntie is cooking me a delicious dinner. I'm peeling garlic. Uncle, what are you doing?"

"I'm working overtime," Shen Jiazhou said. "Do you miss me?"

Cancan said, "Of course I miss you! Uncle, when are you coming back?"

"I guess it'll be another three or four days," Shen Jiazhou said. "Then you peel the garlic and tell my aunt that I miss her a lot and ask her to video call me when she's done with her work."

"Okay," Can Can said again, "you didn't even say you missed me."

He pursed his lips; his uncle had been dreaming!

Shen Jiazhou chuckled softly on the other end: "Of course I miss you. If I didn't miss you, why would I call you?"

"Really?" Can Can blinked, feeling that something was off.

After listening to the whole story, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile. She thought to herself that she could only fool the child because he was just starting first grade. After a while, she wouldn't be able to fool him anymore.

Can Can listened to her uncle's long string of sweet words before finally hanging up the phone, completely satisfied.

I'm getting more and more excited for my uncle to come home. He said he bought him lots of toys! Even though he's already in first grade and should focus on his studies, he can still play with the toys.

Can Can chuckled.

Wen Shuqiao scooped out the blanched pork ribs, wondering to herself, "Three or four days? I guess I'll be back on Saturday or Sunday."

She thought of the medical report in the room and wondered what Shen Jiazhou's reaction would be.

Although Shen Jiazhou said it would take three or four days, the procedure was similar to what Wen Shuqiao had planned, and he didn't get home until Saturday afternoon.

Upon arriving home, he first formally gave the toys to Can Can, and the uncle and nephew rekindled their deep bond after not seeing each other for a month. After seeing his assistant off, he immediately forgot about Can Can and showered Wen Shu Qiao with kisses and hugs, refusing to let go.

Wen Shuqiao, held in his arms, laughed and said, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Shen Jiazhou placed a few more kisses on her forehead and mumbled, "You have no idea how I've gotten through this past month. I've been missing you so much I'm practically moldy."

Wen Shuqiao straightened up from his embrace. When Shen Jiazhou saw this, he wanted to snuggle up to her again, but Wen Shuqiao stopped him.

He asked, puzzled, "What?"

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "I have a gift for you, it's in the bedroom."

Shen Jiazhou turned to look at Cancan, who was intently unwrapping his gift, and whispered, "It's still daytime... but it's not impossible. I'll take him to An'an's house first..."

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but flick his head: "What are you thinking about all day long? Are you going to look or not?"

"Look, look." Shen Jiazhou cupped her face and kissed her hard again: "I'll be right down."

Then she nimbly ran upstairs. Can Can looked up and glanced at her, but it didn't seem interesting, so she continued playing with her toys.

About a minute later, Shen Jiazhou appeared in the stairwell with a blank expression. He walked down step by step and finally stood next to Wen Shuqiao.

Wen Shuqiao smiled and tilted her head: "What's with your reaction?"

Can Can came over with the puzzle pieces at this moment and said, "Uncle? Want to do a puzzle with me?"

Shen Jiazhou looked up, not at Wen Shuqiao, but at Cancan.

He said, "Baby, come here for a moment."

Can Can was puzzled, but still walked up to him. The next second, Shen Jia Zhou hugged him very excitedly and kissed his face wildly!

Can Can was startled: "Oh no! Don't kiss me! I don't want you to kiss me! Uncle! Don't kiss my cheek! I don't want to play puzzles with you anymore!"

But Shen Jiazhou wouldn't listen at all, and picked him up and spun him around again. Can Can: Ahhhhh!
