Can Can wrapped one arm around Shen Jia Zhou's neck, while keeping the other hand on his face. Then, she affectionately brought her face close to his, rubbing it against his cheek.
It's been a while since Cancan rubbed against him, and Shen Jiazhou is still a little unaccustomed to Cancan's way of expressing love.
He tried to sneak away, but found that the boy's hand was tightly wrapped around his cheek, as if he was determined not to let him escape.
Shen Jiazhou had no choice but to hold him and wait for him to rub against him enough before continuing.
In the end, Wen Shuqiao rescued him. Wen Shuqiao said, "Drink your milk, come down quickly."
Can Can stopped rubbing her face against Shen Jiazhou's shoulder and gestured for him to put her down.
Shen Jiazhou put him on the ground, and Cancan took the cup from his aunt's hand. After getting it, he held it carefully with both hands, walking slowly and steadily, as if afraid that the milk in the cup would spill.
He walked up to Shen Jiazhou and reached out to tug at the hem of Shen Jiazhou's shirt: "Uncle~ you drink!"
My uncle works hard, so here's a drink for him!
Shen Jiazhou was about to let him drink it himself when Cancan suddenly raised the cup above his head. Before he could take it, the milk spilled out because of the tilt.
Before Can Can could react, the milk was about to soak his arm as it flowed down his hand.
Shen Jiazhou quickly took the cup down to prevent more from spilling. Wen Shuqiao reacted just as quickly, immediately grabbing a tissue to wipe his hands. She then looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, the milk wasn't too hot, otherwise her fair little hands would have turned red.
The two adults reacted too quickly, while Can Can was still a little confused. He looked at his hands and said, "Auntie, the milk has been poured out."
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "Auntie saw it, does your hand hurt?"
Can Can shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."
Shen Jiazhou placed the milk on the coffee table, then walked over, picked him up, and carried him to the kitchen: "Wash your hands."
Wen Shuqiao had already gone to the bathroom to get the mop. The two of them had a clear division of labor and finished everything in less than three minutes. Even Cancan had changed into a clean set of pajamas.
Wen Shuqiao threw the clothes into the washing machine, and the machine started spinning. When she returned, Cancan looked guilty and clung to Shen Jiazhou's leg without saying a word.
Wen Shuqiao walked into the living room and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you like this?"
Cancan said, "I did something wrong."
Shen Jiazhou looked down at Cancan, who was clinging to his leg, and patted his head: "You didn't do anything wrong."
Wen Shuqiao also came over and said, "Yes, baby didn't do anything wrong."
Can Can stretched out her hand: "But the milk spilled."
If you don't lift the cup, the milk won't spill, and you won't have to change your pajamas again. My aunt only wore the pajamas she washed for a little while!
Wen Shuqiao took his hand, and Can Can obediently followed his aunt to the sofa. After his aunt sat down, he leaned against her leg and played with his fingers without saying a word.
“You didn’t do anything wrong, baby.” Wen Shuqiao said gently again, “You just accidentally spilled a little bit of milk. Be more careful next time and you won’t spill it.”
Can Can looked at her. At this moment, Shen Jia Zhou also sat down. Can Can secretly glanced at Shen Jia Zhou twice.
Shen Jiazhou said, "It's good that you weren't injured."
It's just spilled milk. It's no big deal.
But for a child, this is a huge deal.
Can Can looked down at his hands and saw no signs of injury. His uncle had washed them thoroughly and changed them into fragrant pajamas.
He raised his head and said, "Auntie, I won't lift it up anymore."
Wen Shuqiao said, "Just be careful in the future and don't lift it so high."
It's a small thing, not enough to make a child never do that behavior again.
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "And you held up the milk to share it with your uncle, didn't you?"
Can Can murmured, "Uncle has been out for a long time. There probably isn't any good milk out there..."
Shen Jiazhou met Cancan's gaze, his expression softened, and he said, "Come here."
Can Can shuffled over to Shen Jia Zhou with tiny steps, and Shen Jia Zhou easily lifted him onto his lap. Can Can then leaned into his arms and nestled against him.
Shen Jiazhou lowered his head and saw that Cancan looked like a wilted little flower, having lost her previous spirit.
But his heart softened at that moment.
Shen Jiazhou said softly, "Thank you for sharing the milk, baby."
Can Can looked up from his arms and said, "But you didn't drink any of it, and you poured out a lot of it."
Wen Shuqiao silently got up, took the milk that was almost half spilled into the kitchen, and came out with a fresh glass of milk a moment later.
She walked to Shen Jiazhou's side and handed him the milk.
"Thank you." Shen Jiazhou took the new glass of milk. He didn't drink it right away, but held it up in front of Cancan: "Look, the milk is full again."
Can Can's eyes widened as she looked at Wen Shu Qiao and explained to her uncle, "It was Auntie who refilled the milk."
“But we still have a whole glass of milk, don’t we?” Shen Jiazhou said. “Don’t worry about the part that was accidentally poured out.”
Can Can seemed to understand, but Wen Shuqiao added, "Baby, when you encounter problems, don't blame yourself or be anxious. We should think of ways to solve the problem first."
Shen Jiazhou chimed in, "Auntie is right. We need to have the ability to solve problems, to identify them, and to handle them."
Can Can thought about it seriously for a moment: "Then, what if the baby can't solve it?"
Shen Jiazhou chuckled: "Then baby can ask his uncle and aunt for help, we'll cover for you."
Can Can still didn't quite understand the meaning of "backup plan," but seeing his aunt and uncle speaking to him gently, he seemed to understand.
He now has the confidence to spill milk without fear of being scolded or running out.
Can Can buried his face in Shen Jiazhou's arms, hugging him tightly and whispering, "Uncle~ I'm so happy now."
Shen Jiazhou was stunned for a moment, holding him somewhat at a loss, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Wen Shuqiao.
Wen Shuqiao just watched them without saying a word. When she saw him looking over, she smiled at him, then reached out and took the cup from his hand. She gestured with her eyes to Can Can in his arms, and then raised her other hand slightly as if to hug him.
At this moment, all he needs to do is hold the baby pig tightly in his arms, and his happiness will double.
After Shen Jiazhou and Cancan met, Shen Jiazhou would hug him almost every day.
But this was the first time he had ever felt Can Can's complete dependence on him. He was so small and soft, like a glutinous rice ball.
He wrapped his other arm around Cancan's back, his smile deepening. The invisible weight on his body seemed to loosen a little, and at this moment, he felt the warmth from the cub in his arms.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Good boy."
He also began to feel that he was happy.
