Wen Shuqiao changed into clean home clothes, dried her hair until it was half dry, and went downstairs. She was still a little worried about Cancan being downstairs alone.
As soon as I reached the stairwell, I could hear the sound of cartoons coming from downstairs; they seemed to be engrossed in watching TV.
Wen Shuqiao felt a little relieved. Halfway down the stairs, she found Shen Jiazhou sitting on the sofa, but Can Can was nowhere to be seen.
As she walked downstairs, she asked, "When did you get back?"
I thought Shen Jiazhou would be back late from his social engagements, but he came back before eight o'clock.
Shen Jiazhou looked over and said, "It's nothing special. I came back early."
He saw Wen Shuqiao coming over, got up and went back to the master bedroom. A little while later, he came out with a hairdryer.
Wen Shuqiao was taken aback for a moment, took the hair dryer, thanked him, and then looked around: "Where's Cancan?"
Shen Jiazhou said, "Go into the room and get the toys."
He raised his chin slightly: "Let's dry your hair first."
Wen Shuqiao nodded and was about to go to the children's room with the hair dryer when Shen Jiazhou stopped her: "There's a power outlet next to the TV."
He stood up and said, "I'll go see what that kid is doing."
Wen Shuqiao took the hairdryer back to the TV. Her hair was already half-dry when she took it down, so it didn't need to be dried for long.
She was facing the TV, and her attention was drawn to the cartoons. I have to say, it's quite entertaining to watch a couple of times now and then.
They didn't even notice that Shen Jiazhou and Cancan had sneaked out of the children's room and tiptoed to sit on the sofa.
Shen Jiazhou was carrying a black suitcase. He placed it on the coffee table, smiled brightly, pursed his lips, and quickly walked over, expertly hugging Wen Shuqiao's waist: "Auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao was startled by his sudden appearance, then pretended to be angry and swept his face with the hairdryer: "You little rascal."
Can Can squinted her eyes, then curved them into crescents: "Auntie, is your hair done?"
When Wen Shuqiao came down, her hair was already half-dry, but it was now dried. She turned off the hairdryer, and Can Can obediently unplugged it for her.
She pinched his cheek: "Thank you, baby."
Can Can smiled again, "You're welcome, Auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao turned around, and Shen Jiazhou had already sat down on the sofa again, with a black box in front of him.
It didn't seem to be there just now; she only glanced at it before looking away, showing little reaction to the black box.
She walked over and put the hairdryer down. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Jiazhou moved to the side and said, "Sit down."
Can Can climbed onto the sofa too: "Sit down, Auntie! Sit down!"
Wen Shuqiao asked in confusion, "What are you two up to? You've been acting all mysterious since this afternoon."
Shen Jiazhou raised his chin: "Boss Xiao Can asked me to buy it."
Boss Xiao Can?
Wen Shuqiao paused for a moment before looking at Can Can, who was still smiling: "Boss Can?"
Can Can nodded: "It's me!"
My uncle said, whoever pays the money is the boss. He pays the money, so he's the boss!
He grabbed his aunt's hand: "Auntie, sit down quickly!"
Wen Shuqiao sat down between them, her gaze falling once again on the black box. Seeing Can Can's excited expression, she turned to Shen Jiazhou first, sending a questioning signal with her eyes.
Shen Jiazhou said, "You'll know once you open it and take a look."
Can Can chimed in, "Yes, yes, Auntie, hurry up and open it!"
He just had his uncle put it in the children's room, and he admired it himself first. It's very beautiful! It's obvious that his aunt will like it!
Wen Shuqiao sat between the two of them, and under their gaze, unzipped the black box and casually flipped the lid over.
The next second, after seeing what was inside, Wen Shuqiao was stunned.
Inside the box was a transparent box, with fairy lights shining inside, illuminating the items inside.
It's a camera.
There was a note on top of the box. She silently picked it up; it read, in a messy, illegible handwriting: "[For my dearest aunt—Baby]"
A handprint was even placed on it in a very formal manner.
Wen Shuqiao turned her head to look at Cancan. Cancan was smiling the whole time. When she saw Wen Shuqiao looking at her, she tilted her head and asked, "Auntie, do you like it?"
She was speechless for a moment before answering Can Can: "I like it."
Can Can shifted his position on the sofa, pressing himself tightly against his aunt's body, and said, "I knew it! Auntie's going to take lots of nice pictures of me!"
Wen Shuqiao nodded slightly: "Mm."
Can Can hugged her and couldn't help but laugh herself.
He knew it! His aunt would definitely like it! Because he liked it too!
Wen Shuqiao touched his face, then looked at Shen Jiazhou sitting on her other side. Shen Jiazhou had been leaning against the back of the sofa without saying a word. Only after Wen Shuqiao looked over did he straighten up: "What are you doing just looking? Take it out and try it out, see if it works."
He reached out, lifted the box, and gently placed it on the coffee table: "Open it."
Can Can let go of her aunt at this moment: "Yes, yes, Auntie, hurry up and open it to see!"
He had only been admiring it from behind the box, and he wanted his aunt to take it out and have a proper look at it!
As if she had regained her sense of movement, Wen Shuqiao raised her arm and untied the ribbon tied into a bow on the box. Shen Jiazhou had already picked up the box and set it aside without her having to do anything else.
The fairy lights are casually wrapped around the camera, dutifully playing their role in illuminating every part of the camera.
At this moment, all that remained before her eyes was that camera.
