Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that Wen Shuqiao is indeed the person who understands Cancan the most among those present.
Wen Shuqiao gestured to him with her eyes, then lowered her head and patted Can Can's back: "Baby, your uncle has something to tell you."
Can Can then turned her face to face her uncle, but her expression was still one of suspicion and disdain, as if to say that if Shen Jia Zhou said the wrong thing, she would never, ever pay attention to her uncle again.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Jiazhou abandoned some unnecessary pride and patiently said, "It was my fault just now. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have called Can Can a little car. Can Can is the cutest little girl."
Can Can's lips are so upturned, you could hang an oil can on them.
Shen Jiazhou didn't quite understand his behavior, and subconsciously glanced at Wen Shuqiao's face, whom he was holding, wanting her to translate.
Wen Shuqiao silently reminded him: Strawberry milk.
Shen Jiazhou understood and said, "Uncle, how about we buy two strawberry milks later?"
Can Can then gave a perfunctory "hmm," seemingly reluctantly agreeing: "Then, I'll forgive you this time, but you're not allowed to say it again."
How could such a handsome little baby be a big car!
Wen Shuqiao took him off her arms, and Can Can walked up to Shen Jiazhou, looking up at him and saying, "Do you understand, Uncle?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Uncle understands."
Can Can then revealed a sly smile: "Then let's go buy strawberry milk now, okay?"
Shen Jiazhou, of course, would not refuse. He stood up from his chair, took Can Can's soft hand, and walked towards the door.
Can Can couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her uncle was an adult. What if he hurt the baby again if she didn't tell him?
He observed that the adults were all saying one thing but meaning another, including his aunt. She clearly wanted the baby to stay with her, but she didn't say it.
But Uncle... but is Uncle considered a philanderer?
Can Can suddenly became conflicted. It seemed that her uncle wasn't just being sarcastic; he was just saying things that weren't pleasant to hear.
But my aunt said that speaking unkindly can hurt others, and in the long run, it can also hurt yourself.
Can Can secretly decided that he would help his uncle get rid of this bad habit!
As Can Can walked, she said earnestly, "Uncle, sometimes the things you say are really hurtful. You can't say things like that, you know? It hurts my feelings..."
Shen Jiazhou: Reversing the Heavenly Gang.
However, she still answered seriously, "I won't say that anymore, I'll just praise the baby, okay?"
Can Can nodded: "Okay, but sometimes baby does bad things, and you can tell him then."
"He's quite principled," Shen Jiazhou said, gently shaking his hand. "Alright, Uncle got it. Is racing fun?"
When it comes to playing, Can Can gets excited: "It's so much fun! It's super fun, Uncle! Whoosh, whoosh, and we ran so far away in no time..."
The child started repeating what he had said to his aunt and Gu Xingyuan, as if he never tired of it.
The uncle and nephew walked in front, with Wen Shuqiao following behind. However, after taking only two steps, she realized that Gu Xingyuan had not followed.
She turned around and asked, "Mr. Gu, are you going to change your clothes?"
Gu Xingyuan snapped out of his daze: "Oh right, we need to change our clothes first."
He shouted, "Chen Er, Xiao Bao hasn't changed his clothes yet, where are you taking him?"
Shen Jiazhou was so focused on apologizing to Cancan and buying her strawberry milk that he only realized now that Cancan was still wearing her racing suit. The heating was on full blast in here, but since the child was weak, it was best not to take any risks.
He led Can Can back and glanced at Gu Xingyuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Xingyuan really wanted to hear a string of birdsong and fragrant flowers, but since Can Can and Wen Shuqiao were both there, he forced a smile and said, "Isn't it just that I'm forgetful?"
Shen Jiazhou took Cancan to the changing room, and Cancan added, "Uncle Xingyuan, you should change too!"
Don't catch a cold!
Gu Xingyuan nodded: "Okay, Uncle will be right there."
Wen Shuqiao, who had been observing their conversation, asked, "What is Mr. Gu thinking about?"
Gu Xingyuan was still carrying two helmets in his hands, and his expression was somewhat wistful, as if he was looking at something through Shen Jiazhou and Cancan.
However, he was much more straightforward than Shen Jiazhou. He said, "I just thought of Brother Chen. Back then, Shen Er and I were still young, and our families were very strict. Only when Brother Chen came back would he secretly take us out to play."
He raised his chin slightly: "Brother Chen is a few years older than us. We are still kids, but he is already a big brother. Like that, he holds one of our hands."
I thought these brothers would stay together until they grew old, but I never expected that Brother Chen would stay at 27.
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Shen Jiachen, how did you get there?"
Gu Xingyuan was already carrying his helmet and heading to the changing room. His earlier words were just a reaction to the scene. Suddenly hearing Wen Shuqiao's question, he turned his head and said, "A car accident, you didn't know?"
Shen Jiachen's death was kept completely secret from the outside world, but those in their circle basically all knew about it.
Wen Shuqiao noticed his probing gaze but remained calm: "I'm not sure, I didn't hear anything about it."
Gu Xingyuan said "Oh": "Anyway, Brother Chen's death was very unexpected, otherwise we wouldn't have only recently found out about Xiao Bao's existence."
Wen Shuqiao didn't ask any further questions. She just hummed in agreement, "Go change your clothes quickly. Cancan should be done changing soon."
Gu Xingyuan carried the helmet inside.
Wen Shuqiao sat in her usual spot. She had actually searched for Shen Jiachen online before, but the information about him was just as scarce as that about Shen Jiazhou, with only a few obituaries issued by the Shen Group back then.
She pursed her lips, but she didn't know how to ask Shen Jiazhou about this.
