Can Can was pulled out of the bathtub by Shen Jiazhou and changed into clean clothes. Can Can looked resentful as her uncle pinched her arm and lifted her up and down, preparing to put on soft and comfortable pajamas.
Today I'm wearing a new set of pajamas that my uncle bought for me. It doesn't have any cartoon characters on it, it's just a light green pajama set. Wearing it makes me look like a little bamboo shoot.
However, as he put on his clothes, he said, "Uncle, I don't like these pajamas. They're not nice."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at him: "What's wrong with you looking bad? You look so mature and cute."
Can Can said, "I like what my aunt bought for me. Can I wear that from now on?"
Shen Jiazhou had already dressed him, and he said, "I'll definitely do it next time."
Can Can nodded after receiving a response.
He sat in his uncle's arms, his feet still wet, intending to mischievously wipe his uncle's body to show him what a bad guy was!
But then he remembered that his aunt had taught him not to do that, so he pouted, feeling quite unconvinced.
After his uncle wiped his feet with a towel, he rubbed the soles of his feet against his uncle's suit pants.
Shen Jiazhou patted his butt: "Who are you wiping it on?"
Can Can said earnestly, "Uncle, you're an adult now, why do you want me to sleep with you?"
He's been agonizing over this all night!
Shen Jiazhou also said, "Baby, you're an adult now, why do you still need your aunt to sleep with you?"
Can Can pursed her lips and remained silent.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Your aunt works very hard to take care of you every day. You kick off the covers at night and sleep in all sorts of positions. Your aunt has to get up at night to check if you are sleeping well."
Can Can whispered, "I was asleep! I didn't know!"
“If your aunt doesn’t sleep well at night, she won’t have the energy to work during the day. Baby, you should also be considerate of your aunt, right?” Shen Jiazhou pinched his nose. “Also, you’ve grown up and you’re always clinging to your aunt. When your aunt wants to go out for some fresh air or be alone for a while, there’s nothing she can do.”
"But I love my aunt, and my aunt loves me too!" Can Can was puzzled. He liked being with his aunt, and his aunt must like being with him too!
Shen Jiazhou carried him out of the bathroom and placed him on the bed in the master bedroom. After thinking for a moment, he squatted down and said earnestly, "Love is freedom, not shackles. Your aunt has no freedom at all because she takes care of you. Every time she goes out, she has to think about coming back to take care of you as soon as possible. Because of this, she misses the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the afternoon, and many, many other sights that she loves."
“Baby, your uncle didn’t mean that your aunt doesn’t love you. Your aunt and I both love you very much, but we also need to have our own lives.”
Can Can seemed to understand, but not quite. Shen Jiazhou sighed softly and said, "I know you don't understand what your uncle is saying right now, but Can Can, you really need to become independent slowly. When your aunt gets better, or when you... move away, you'll have to sleep alone."
Can Can looked up: "Uncle, aren't you going to sleep with me?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "Uncle needs to sleep by himself too, but we can wait until you fall asleep before leaving, okay?"
"Then, I'll think about it some more," Can Can muttered. He still didn't want to, but his uncle had explained it to him so earnestly.
Shen Jiazhou patted his head: "Your aunt has been sick these past two days. As a little man, you have to take good care of your aunt when I'm not home, okay? You also have to protect yourself and not get sick too."
Can Can nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jiazhou stood up: "Let's go, let your aunt see your new pajamas."
Can Can shrank off the bed, slipped on his cartoon shoes, and without needing Shen Jia Zhou to hold his hand, darted out like a green rabbit.
Shen Jiazhou followed behind, saying helplessly, "Slow down."
Can Can pretended not to hear and quickly went to the living room. Wen Shu Qiao had already finished washing up and was sitting on the sofa with a water glass in her hand, taking her medicine.
Can Can walked up to her, put her hands in her pockets, and turned around without saying a word.
Wen Shuqiao swallowed the pill, coughed lightly, and praised, "So handsome, just like your uncle."
Shen Jiazhou slowly walked out, but just as he came out, he heard Wen Shuqiao say those words. He clicked his tongue lightly and said, "Then I'm still more handsome than that little radish head."
Can Can snorted, "I'm handsome! My uncle is ugly!"
Shen Jiazhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked at Can Can standing in front of them, leaned back on the sofa, and then said, "I think you're missing a meal of bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork."
How could he be so annoying! He didn't say Can Can was ugly!
Wen Shuqiao said helplessly, "What's there to argue about? They're both handsome."
Can Can plopped down between them and turned his head to say, "Auntie, are you sleepy? I'll watch you sleep, and then I'll go to Uncle's room, okay?"
Wen Shuqiao raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't even mentioned sleeping with her. Why was she suddenly so unattached? She was still a little unaccustomed to it.
She looked at Shen Jiazhou sitting next to her: "What did you say to him?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "I didn't say anything, he figured it out himself."
Can Can had already taken Wen Shu Qiao's hand: "Let's go, Auntie, I'll sing you a song to lull you to sleep!"
Although he can't understand the storybooks, he can sing! He sings beautifully! Like a lark!
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but rub his ears: "Let's forget about it."
He was afraid that Wen Shuqiao would become more and more engrossed in listening.
Wen Shuqiao stood up and said, "No need, baby. You and your uncle go to sleep. Your aunt can rest by herself."
This was a polite way of declining Can Can's suggestion to sing. Can Can looked up and asked pitifully, "Really not? I'll sing you Jasmine Flower, Grandma taught me."
