After dinner, Can Can helped his aunt and uncle put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. After doing all that, he pestered his uncle to play with building blocks with him for a while.
Shen Jiazhou was still absent-minded and misspelled the words several times, which made Can Can angry and she kept hitting his hand: "Uncle! What are you doing!"
Shen Jiazhou touched the back of his hand: "So fierce? I'm going to tell your aunt."
Can Can said angrily, "That's because you're stupid! You're an idiot!"
“Even if I’m stupid, you shouldn’t use violence.” Shen Jiazhou put his thoughts aside and easily grabbed Cancan’s hands with one hand.
Can Can struggled to break free, but couldn't. He asked, "Uncle, why are you holding my hand?"
Shen Jiazhou scoffed, "You just hit me, so I'm going to hit you back."
Can Can pouted, but Shen Jia Zhou clamped his chin with his other hand. He tried to open his mouth to bite his uncle's fingers, but his uncle's hand was tight, and he couldn't bite them off at all.
Shen Jiazhou chuckled: "Hmm? Can Can, the puppy, bit someone."
Can Can barked and tried to bite his uncle!
Shen Jiazhou said, “Violence is not acceptable. If you think I’m stupid, you can teach me instead of hitting me.”
He released Cancan's chin, lifted his hand, and lightly slapped the back of his hand: "You have to be reasonable, or I'll slap you like this too."
Can Can looked at the back of his hand with a wronged expression and said, "I understand, Uncle."
Shen Jiazhou looked at him, sighed softly, and rubbed his chubby hand: "It's good that you understand."
He let go of her hand, but Can Can took small steps and leaned into his arms.
Shen Jiazhou softened and said softly, "Uncle is not trying to punish you. You can't use violence to hurt others unless that person hurts you. But there are many kinds of harm, understand? You need to learn to distinguish them."
Can Can buried her face in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I know, Uncle."
Shen Jiazhou touched the back of his head, and was about to say something when he felt a bite on the side of his neck. It didn't hurt too much. He looked down slightly and saw Cancan giving him a mischievous smile.
When Can Can saw Shen Jia Zhou looking at him, she said matter-of-factly, "Uncle, you're not just anyone."
Shen Jiazhou: ...
Okay, okay, so you're starting to exploit his weaknesses, aren't you?
He didn't hit hard enough!
But after Can Can finished speaking, she said in a sticky, coquettish tone, "Uncle, Uncle, don't be angry anymore. I'll be a good girl and listen to you from now on, okay?"
Shen Jiazhou tried to pull him away from his embrace, but Cancan didn't give him a chance at all. It was just like his saying, "It's like a leech, you can't tear it off no matter what you do."
Finally, he said helplessly, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."
Can Can then let go of him, cupped his face in her hands, and asked again and again, "Really?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Really."
Can Can quickly replied, "Then you can't tell Auntie that I hit you and bit you, Uncle. This is our secret, you know? If you tell Auntie, I won't be friends with you anymore."
Shen Jiazhou even wanted to give Cancan a special number 6, so all that buildup and acting cute was just to prevent him from complaining.
Just then, Wen Shuqiao finished washing up. She swept her long hair behind her, sat on the single sofa, and looked at the puzzle: "Hmm? I'm a little slow today."
She's been up there for almost two hours. Normally she would have finished assembling it by now, so why is there still more than half left?
Can Can pressed her face against Shen Jia Zhou's and asked sweetly, "Auntie, do Uncle and I look good?"
Wen Shuqiao looked at their faces, then raised an eyebrow: "President Chen, your collarbone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jiazhou quickly interjected, "He bit me, and he won't even let me tell you about it."
Can Can exclaimed "Ouch!" and said angrily, "Uncle! How could you say that! Didn't we agree that we wouldn't tattle?"
Shen Jiazhou said quietly, "I didn't tell on her. If my aunt saw it, I'll explain to her. Also, I didn't promise you I wouldn't tell my aunt."
Yeah?
Can Can was somewhat doubtful.
Shen Jiazhou said, "What you tacitly agreed to doesn't count."
Wen Shuqiao looked at the two of them and roughly understood what they meant. She waved to Cancan, who immediately abandoned her uncle and turned to run into her aunt's arms.
Wen Shuqiao asked, "What else did you do to bully your uncle?"
"I didn't bully my uncle!" Can Can said guiltily.
After meeting Wen Shuqiao's gaze, she confessed everything: "I, I just patted the back of his hand, I didn't bully him."
Shen Jiazhou innocently raised his hand, letting Wen Shuqiao see the back of his hand: "It hurts, it's all red."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at them and couldn't help but say, "They're incredibly popular."
Luckily she came downstairs; if she had been even a minute later, she would have been completely out of sight.
Shen Jiazhou, however, was quite self-righteous: "Yes, I told him not to use violence, but he still bit me."
He pointed to his collarbone: "I don't even need to look; I know there are definitely teeth marks."
"I bit it lightly," Can Can said dejectedly. "I didn't bite it hard."
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "That's not right either."
Cancan leaned against Wen Shuqiao without saying a word.
Seeing his sullen expression, Shen Jiazhou leaned back on the sofa and continued, "But we've resolved this peacefully. I've reprimanded him, and he apologized to me and promised not to do it again."
Wen Shuqiao raised an eyebrow slightly, and Cancan nodded obediently: "Yes, Auntie! I won't do that again."
She then nodded and said, "A good baby is one who knows their mistakes and corrects them."
Can Can smiled again, hugged Wen Shu Qiao and kissed her cheeks heavily, then buried her face in the crook of her shoulder and clung to her.
Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips as he watched Can Can's behavior.
He treats his aunt like a sweet, warm cotton-padded jacket, but how come he's like a leaky roof over his head?
His gaze fell on Wen Shuqiao again, and Wen Shuqiao generously kissed Can Can on the forehead, making Can Can laugh shyly.
What's there to be shy about?
Shen Jiazhou doesn't understand; all he does all day is act cute. It's time to buy him some calligraphy practice books.
At such a young age, of course they need to study! Otherwise, what are they supposed to do? Spend all their time acting cute with their aunt?
Shen Jiazhou acted very swiftly, sending a message directly to Lin Yan.
[Tomorrow before you go to work, go to the bookstore and buy a few Chinese character practice books for Cancan to use.]
[Lin Yan: Boss, isn't Cancan only in the middle class? Why are you buying all this for him so early?]
It should be at least first grade!
Shen Jiazhou frowned slightly: [?]
Lin Yan replied quickly: [Received]
Shen Jiazhou's brows relaxed. Wen Shuqiao was already preparing to take Cancan to take a bath. Now that it was time for school, she couldn't stay up late like usual.
He put his phone aside and stood up: "I'll help him wash it too."
Shen Jiazhou has gone from a novice to an expert. Giving a child a bath is just a simple task. With his help, he believes that Wen Shuqiao will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!
