Shen Jiazhou parked the car in the basement of the residential complex, then quickly got out and took the still unconscious Cancan into his arms.
Wen Shuqiao finally got out of the car. She shook her stiff arms and noticed that Can Can had indeed become visibly rounder. Plus, he was wearing a lot of clothes in winter, and she estimated that after a while, she wouldn't be able to carry him anymore.
Shen Jiazhou carried him upstairs. Can Can only woke up groggily after they reached the door, but his round eyes kept looking at Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jia lowered his head on Monday and met his gaze.
He said, "Awake? Come down and go inside yourself."
Can Can reacted for a moment, then slowly closed her eyes again.
Pretend that you haven't woken up yet.
Looking at him like this, Shen Jiazhou realized that he had only said it casually. After all, they were already at the door, so there wasn't much difference between hugging him a little longer or a little less.
But I never expected this kid to be so heartless towards him! If it were Wen Shuqiao, he would have struggled to stand up the moment he woke up.
Wen Shuqiao was opening the door, unaware of the undercurrent between the uncle and nephew. She opened the door and said softly, "Come in."
Shen Jiazhou raised an eyebrow at Wen Shuqiao, then glanced at Can Can.
Wen Shuqiao looked into his arms in confusion and, sure enough, caught a baby pig that had secretly opened one eye.
She understood immediately and pretended to say, "Oh dear, why hasn't the baby woken up yet?"
Shen Jiazhou said, "How about I take him home and he sleeps with me tonight? You've had a long day, so you should get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Can Can panicked and quickly opened her eyes, exclaiming, "Baby's awake! Baby's awake!"
He doesn't want to sleep with his uncle! (He needs a tonic!)
Shen Jiazhou was a little annoyed. He patted Cancan's side with his palm: "Not pretending anymore?"
Can Can blinked guiltily; he would never admit that he had been pretending to be asleep!
Wen Shuqiao laughed and said, "Alright, come in. Can Can, come down. Your uncle's arms are getting tired from carrying you."
Can Can was still angry about the "slap" her uncle had given her, so she simply closed her eyes and wouldn't listen to her aunt!
He looked determined to have Shen Jiazhou carry him inside. You naughty uncle! You're asking for trouble if you mess with the baby!
Shen Jiazhou thought to himself, "This guy has a really stubborn temper and holds grudges."
Wen Shuqiao said, "Alright, stop teasing him."
Shen Jiazhou then carried him inside. Milk and Cake had already heard the commotion and came to the entrance to greet him. They saw Can Can bouncing and jumping around Shen Jiazhou's feet in his arms.
Wen Shuqiao closed the door and said, "Baby, go and see if they've eaten yet."
She knew the milk and cake had already been eaten, so she bought an automatic feeder online to ensure the two little ones wouldn't go hungry if she couldn't come back.
Upon hearing this, Can Can stopped pretending and struggled to get out of Shen Jia Zhou's arms. But Shen Jia Zhou held him tighter and asked, "Don't you like Uncle's embrace? Then stay a little longer."
Cancan said, "No, no."
Shen Jiazhou completely ignored his struggles. What a joke! If he didn't subdue Cancan today, Cancan would be dancing on his head tomorrow.
Can Can looked to her aunt for help, but her aunt only said, "I'll go and bring your pajamas in. Take a shower and get some rest later."
Request for help failed.
The system said helplessly, "Just appease your uncle; he's very easy to talk to!"
However, he's a little uncertain now, but his uncle loves Long Aotian!
Can Can thought the system made sense, so he immediately changed his strategy: "Uncle~"
Shen Jiazhou scoffed coldly, "I can't hear you."
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle~" Can Can raised her hands to cup his face, but Shen Jia Zhou dodged!
Good heavens! Why is my uncle so hard to please today?!
He said pitifully, "Uncle~ I won't cheat anymore~"
Shen Jiazhou then lowered his head: "Really?"
Can Can nodded, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "Baby will take care of you in your old age."
Then secretly throw away your uncle's cane!
The system sounded an alarm: [You wicked Long Aotian! How could you treat your uncle like this?!]
Can Can's eyes darted away guiltily. Why not? He threw away his uncle's cane and bought him a stroller!
The system, however, seemed to have thought of something and simply replied: "Uncle won't grow old."
Cancan asked: "Why?"
He overheard the uncle from the wonton shop next door talking on his phone today: "When children grow up, they have to take care of their parents in their old age."
He wants to take care of his aunt and uncle in their old age, and when he grows up, he wants to make money!
The system didn't answer its question: "Anyway, all you need to do is treat your uncle well now and in the future."
"Okay." Can Can pouted. Anyway, being good to her aunt and uncle was the truth.
However, he always felt that the system was hiding something from him, but no matter how secretly he listened, he couldn't hear anything.
The system snorted: [Give up, I'm not going to consider it.]
"You have secrets from me." Can Can said angrily, "I have no secrets from you."
The system didn't respond and simply went offline.
Can Can thought to herself, "It's always like this! You stinky system!"
Shen Jiazhou frowned as he looked at Can Can in his arms, and couldn't help but pinch his cheek: "Is it really that difficult for you to take care of me in my old age?"
Before he could even feel touched, thinking that his child had indeed become much more obedient as he grew a year older, he looked down and saw a bitter expression on his face.
Wen Shuqiao happened to come in with his pajamas. When she heard Shen Jiazhou's words, she hummed in response, "What's wrong?"
