10 PM.
Can Can stared at the ceiling with his round eyes, covered with his little blanket and a thin down comforter. Two adults sat beside his bed.
Shen Jiazhou was still holding a storybook in his hand, and he had almost finished reading this one. Can Can didn't seem sleepy at all.
Hearing the story stop, he looked at his uncle with a puzzled expression: "Uncle, why did you stop reading?"
The baby hasn't heard enough yet!
Shen Jiazhou said, "It's ten o'clock. You're usually asleep by now, aren't you?"
Cancan buried her face further under the covers and mumbled, "I can't sleep."
Wen Shuqiao was also puzzled. Could it be because she didn't sleep with her today? But usually, when Cancan was tired after she finished her work, she would climb into bed by herself and fall asleep as soon as she lay down.
Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment and asked, "Did he drink milk tea this afternoon?"
"I drank it," Shen Jiazhou said. "...one cup."
This time it was Wen Shuqiao's turn to raise an eyebrow at him.
Shen Jiazhou said, "He ordered two drinks first, and then he said that you told him not to drink them, but when they were served, no one else was drinking them, so he secretly drank them by himself..."
Shen Jiazhou felt increasingly unsure as he spoke. It was clearly Cancan's routine, so why was he the one lacking confidence?
Wen Shuqiao sighed helplessly, "Then let's just wait."
Can Can drank a whole cup of milk tea by herself, and she wouldn't be able to fall asleep until at least 11 o'clock. The three of them just stared at each other, and finally Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but say, "You have to go to work tomorrow, so go and rest first. I'll stay with him tonight."
Before Shen Jiazhou could say anything, Cancan suddenly sat up in bed and patted the empty pillow next to her: "Auntie, come quick! Baby will sleep with you!"
Wen Shuqiao was about to get up, but Shen Jiazhou got up even faster. He stepped to Can Can's bedside, lifted the covers, and lay down.
Can Can looked at her uncle with a bewildered expression: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
My uncle has gone to bed, so where will my aunt sleep?
Shen Jiazhou adjusted his position: "Shuqiao, goodnight. Please turn off the lights for us when you leave."
As he spoke, he sat up slightly, pulled Can Can close to him, and wrapped his strong arms tightly around Can Can's small shoulders, making Can Can stay close to him: "Come on, go to sleep, your uncle will stay with you tonight."
Can Can looked to his aunt standing to the side for help, "No! I don't want to sleep with my uncle!"
Wen Shuqiao knew that Shen Jiazhou was determined today. She looked at Shen Jiazhou, who had already closed his eyes, and Can Can, who had a stubborn look on her face. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still comforted her, "Baby, your uncle will stay with you tonight. You should go to sleep early."
Shen Jiazhou opened one eye: "Turn off the light, thank you."
Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to turn around and walk out step by step. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back one last time. Can Can was still looking at her pitifully.
That's so pitiful.
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath and raised her hand to turn off the light.
The door closed, and Can Can knew that his wish to sleep with his aunt tonight was dashed. He dared not say anything, leaning on his uncle's stiff arm, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His aunt was about to agree to sleep with him!
Why did that scoundrel uncle have to interfere?!
Can Can secretly kicked his uncle again; he wanted to kick him down!
But to my surprise, as soon as I kicked him, I felt myself being rolled up in a blanket and a bag, and before I knew it, I was already lying on top of my uncle.
Cancan:? What's going on!
Shen Jiazhou wrapped one arm around his waist to keep him from falling off, and said coolly, "If you don't want to sleep on the bed, just sleep like this."
He refused to believe he couldn't handle this wriggling pig, though it was indeed a bit heavy.
Can Can was shocked. Compared to his uncle's stiff body, he still preferred to sleep on a soft bed. He silently shrank to the side, wanting to shrink further.
Shen Jiazhou had only intended to scare him, and seeing him obediently lie down on the bed, he released his grip.
After lying on the bed, Can Can breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and sulked for a while, but in the end he turned over again and snuggled back into his uncle's arms. He arrogantly put one leg on his uncle's leg and accurately touched his uncle's ear with one hand.
He asked, "Uncle, are you asleep?"
"She's asleep," Shen Jiazhou said.
"You're lying." Can Can snorted. "Sleeping people can't talk."
"I was talking in my sleep," Shen Jiazhou replied fluently, then hugged him and said, "Go to sleep."
He wasn't really used to sleeping while holding someone like that, but he held back because it was his nephew.
Can Can made an "oh" sound, and then casually touched Shen Jia Zhou's earlobe with his fingers, muttering, "Uncle, Aunt's ears are soft, and your ears are soft too."
"Thanks, your ears are soft too." Shen Jiazhou patted his butt: "Are you going to sleep or not?"
He regretted it. If he had known, he would have thrown that cup away instead of turning a blind eye and letting Can Can ruin it!

upstairs.
This seems to be the first time Wen Shuqiao has been lying alone in a bed since she transmigrated. Usually, after she lies down, Can Can will lie down next to her without fail, as if she has a GPS tracker, and sleep with her arms wrapped around her.
She turned on her phone, checked the backend as usual, and saw that the real estate agent had sent her a few more listings. After arranging a time to view them, she turned off her phone and put it aside.
Wen Shuqiao pulled her blanket up to cover her head, and felt a little more at ease.
Unable to sleep no matter what, she started planning for tomorrow.
Shen Jiazhou said that Cancan's clothes would be delivered tomorrow morning so she could choose one to wear when she sees Shen Jiachen on the weekend.
