After Shen Jiazhou left, the house became quiet again. Cancan leaned against Wen Shuqiao and asked, "Auntie, do you want to go to sleep?"
He heard from his doctor aunt that he should rest more so he could recover faster.
Wen Shuqiao wasn't actually sleepy; she felt perfectly fine. However, after meeting Can Can's bright eyes, she nodded again: "Okay, I'll go upstairs to rest. What about you?"
Can Can got off the sofa: "Auntie, I'll tell you a story and help you fall asleep, okay?"
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile: "Hmm? You can tell stories?"
How come you've suddenly become so cultured? Wen Shuqiao is still a little unaccustomed to it.
Can Can nodded: "Yes, yes!" This little story was no challenge for him at all!
The system snorted: [Stop talking big, I won't help you learn to read.]
Can Can scoffed. Who does he think he is? He's Long Aotian Baby!
"You're no longer one," the system said. "You've been expelled from the Dragon Overlord club."
Be my sweet little darling!
Can Can had already trotted back to her room, and a moment later she took out the new storybook that Shen Jiazhou had sent over, and held it out to Wen Shuqiao like a treasure: "Ta-da! Auntie! A new storybook!"
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek, got up from the sofa, and took Can Can upstairs. After a few steps, her phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number from City A. She was a little puzzled. In this world, there were only a handful of people who could call her, and she had saved all of them in her contacts.
Could it be the Su family again?
Wen Shuqiao hung up without thinking and continued walking upstairs with Cancan in her hand, but soon the phone rang again.
She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.
Surprisingly, it was a female voice on the other end: "Good afternoon, Xiao Wen, where are you?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuqiao remembered something she had forgotten: "Xiao Qi?"
Zhong Qiye chuckled, "It's me~ Class starts in ten minutes, I noticed you hadn't arrived yet so I called to check on you."
After reviewing the class schedule sent by Zhong Qi, Wen Shuqiao decided to attend class next Monday. However, last night, Zhong Qi messaged her saying that Boss Xie was adding an extra class today and asked if she wanted to attend. The class would be from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, lasting a little over an hour.
She did agree, but because of the fever, her mind was foggy and she forgot about it.
Wen Shuqiao said, "I'm sorry, I can't come today. I forgot to tell you."
Zhong Qi nodded in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I have a slight fever and just got back from the hospital," Wen Shuqiao said. "I'll come back next Monday. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to call me."
Zhong Qi exclaimed on the other end of the phone, "Oh, I see! The flu is really bad lately. You should get some rest! I'll contact you via WeChat if anything comes up. I wish you a speedy recovery, and see you next Monday."
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "Thank you."
After saying goodbye, Zhong Qi hung up the phone.
Can Can looked up and asked, "Auntie, who called you? Was it Uncle?"
Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "She's a beautiful older sister."
Can Can nodded: "Okay, I like pretty older sisters."
"I'll introduce you to her later." Wen Shuqiao led Can Can back to the room, where she discovered that all her bedding had been replaced, and there was still a lingering smell of disinfectant in the air.
It's likely that Shen Jiazhou had the housekeeper come up and clean it up, killing off the germs.
She changed her clothes, while Can Can had already curled up in her blankets and was sitting there.
The milk was pressed on the blanket, and the cake circled around the bed for a long time before finally finding a suitable spot to climb down. Its eyes darted around, watching Wen Shuqiao go into the bathroom and then come out again.
Can Can was ready and patted the empty seat next to her: "Auntie~ Come on~"
Finally, I can sleep with my aunt! Even an afternoon nap is fine, hehehe! Finally, I'm not my uncle anymore!
Wen Shuqiao lay down as he listened to her. Can Can first smoothed her hair, then opened her storybook.
I glanced at it and didn't recognize it.
I flipped through it again, but I still didn't recognize it.
Damn it (〃＞目＜), why did my aunt and uncle tell me all of this so quickly? Why doesn't he know these stories?!
【Idiot.】The system wasn't surprised at all: 【You don't even have a kindergarten diploma, and you can read books and tell stories by yourself? You're not a genius.】
"Yes, I am," Can Can said seriously. "My aunt said I'm Genius Little Treasure."
He wouldn't allow the system to disobey his aunt!
The system rolled its eyes dramatically: [Stop secretly watching videos. I can't be bothered to talk to you. Going to sleep.]
Can Can snorted, then seriously flipped through his storybook. This genius little treasure of his was sure he could tell the story!
Unfortunately, after reading the entire book, he still couldn't tell the story he wanted to tell.
He pouted and turned to look at his aunt with a pitiful expression, but he didn't know when she had already fallen asleep.
Can Can blinked, put the book aside, raised her hand to pull the blanket up for her aunt, covered her up, and then snuggled into the blanket herself.
The little body pressed against its aunt, and it had already lay down with its face against its aunt's shoulder, but then it seemed to remember something, raised its head and kissed its aunt's cheek, then hugged her tightly and closed its eyes.
He wants to take a nap with his aunt too! Hehe!

Wen Shuqiao started dreaming again. In her dream, everything was white. She walked slowly, and after walking for a long time, she finally saw a small stall.
