The atmosphere in the living room fell silent again. Wen Shuqiao knew she needed to give Shen Jiazhou some time to think, but it was already getting late.
She thought for a moment and asked, "It's getting late, what are your plans?"
Shen Jiazhou looked up at her: "What?"
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Are you planning to spend the night in Can Can's room, or go home?"
Shen Jiazhou glanced at his watch; it was indeed very late. He put down his water glass and said, "I'll head back now."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jiazhou stood up, and Wen Shuqiao saw him to the door again, saying, "See you tomorrow."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "See you tomorrow."
Wen Shuqiao reached out her hand, and Shen Jiazhou looked at her in confusion. She then patted his arm lightly twice and said, "Cheer up, goodnight."
Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips: "...Goodnight."
He walked step by step toward the elevator without turning around, but heard the door close behind him; Wen Shuqiao had gone back inside.
Just as he was about to step into the elevator, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but look back. As he had expected, the door was already completely closed.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on the arm that Wen Shuqiao had just patted.
Was she just comforting herself?
Shen Jiazhou stepped into the elevator lobby. There weren't many people using the elevator at this time, and the doors opened quickly. He went inside; the elevator had mirrors on three sides.
He pressed the button for the first floor, but couldn't help turning slightly to look at himself in the mirror. Did he look that sad?
Compared to his confusion and entanglement, Wen Shuqiao's mind was much simpler. She lay back down on the bed. This time, Can Can didn't wake up, probably because she was sound asleep.
She moved closer to her, and Can Can sensed the familiar presence. She unconsciously moved closer to her, pressing herself against Wen Shu Qiao before finally stopping.
Wen Shuqiao turned over, tucked the blanket around him again, then turned off the light, hugged him, and closed her eyes.
Even if something really big happens, you should go to sleep first.
*
The next day.
Can Can was woken up by the system. He squirmed in the blanket like a fat worm, and finally opened his eyes unhappily.
"System, how annoying!" Can Can said angrily. "I already said, baby wants to sleep!"
The system replied: [Sleep? Sleep? Didn't you say yesterday that you were an adult and wanted to get up early with your aunt?]
It kindly woke him up, but got scolded. It was so innocent!
The system said: [Also, your uncle is here! Get up!]
Can Can angrily clenched her fists and slammed them against the blanket a few times, as if she were hitting not the blanket, but the annoying system!
The system ignored all warnings: 【Get up, get up, get up!】
Can Can shouted loudly, "No, no, no!"
Just as they were arguing, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Wen Shuqiao walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw Can Can wriggling around under the covers, with Shen Jiazhou following behind her. He leaned against the doorway and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Are you doing aerobics in bed first thing in the morning?
Wen Shuqiao walked to the bedside and reached out to lift the blanket a little: "Baby?"
Can Can was now fully awake from his argument with the system, and he pouted, "Auntie~"
Your baby is upset!
The system interrupted: [Can't we be reasonable? I always wake you up two minutes before your aunt arrives! You only lost two minutes of sleep!]
Can Can wouldn't listen. She got out of bed and collapsed weakly into Wen Shuqiao's arms, fuming.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Alright, get up. Your uncle brought a super delicious breakfast. Do you want some?"
Can Can touched her slightly flattened belly and nodded honestly: "I want to eat."
The system chuckled twice: [Eat up, you've been starving all night. If you keep going hungry, you'll get skinny, you little rascal.]
Can Can decided to ignore the system. He looked at his uncle by the door and reached out his hand: "Uncle, Uncle~"
Shen Jiazhou, however, remained with his arms crossed, leaning against the doorway: "You're four years old now, come out by yourself."
Wen Shuqiao helped him put on his socks, then put him on the bed: "Go on, let your uncle take you to the bathroom outside to brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll find your clothes. What do you want to wear today?"
Can Can thought for a moment: "A turtle!"
He hasn't worn a tortoise shell in a long time!
After receiving Wen Shuqiao's reply, Cancan walked to the door, and Shen Jiazhou reached out his hand: "Come on, let me hug you."
Can Can still held a grudge. He snorted, "I'm a grown-up now, I don't need a little kid like you to carry me!"
Shen Jiazhou: ...
I'm so annoyed, my hands are itching, I want to punch someone.
However, Cancan really means what she says. If she said she wouldn't let anyone hug her, she wouldn't. She shuffled towards the bathroom in her slippers like a little bull.
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao, who was about to rummage through the wardrobe, and asked, "How could you resist the urge to beat him up?"
As Wen Shuqiao walked toward the wardrobe, she said, "I've already told you, if you talk to him indirectly, he won't understand and won't get angry."
Shen Jiazhou clicked his tongue lightly, wondering if he was being too honest.
He followed Can Can into the bathroom, only to find him squatting next to the milk cakes, reaching out to touch them.
When he came in just now, the two little guys rubbed against his legs, but they turned around and went back to their nest.
Shen Jiazhou walked over, and only when he got closer did he hear Cancan muttering, "Baby doesn't want to be an adult anymore, baby wants to be a little person, doesn't want to get up in the morning..."
Shen Jiazhou scoffed and lifted him up by the waist with one hand: "Whether you're an adult or a child, you have to get up early."
