Shen Jiazhou tilted his head back slightly, but the tears he coughed up still rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
But the tears were quickly wiped away by his well-defined fingers. When he looked down again, the tears were gone, but his eyes, face, ears, and neck were all red, like the boiled shrimp his aunt had prepared.
Shen Jiazhou looked at Wen Shuqiao again and found her staring at him in a daze.
He was a little embarrassed; compared to Wen Shuqiao, his reaction was indeed much stronger.
But how could Shen Shiyue speak recklessly!
What made the younger brother-in-law become the younger sister-in-law's wife? He should have been her husband!
No, Shen Jiazhou felt his brain was starting to give him random information, and he didn't dare to look at Wen Shuqiao anymore, afraid that she would notice something. He said stiffly, "I, I'll go get some more water."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen. Can Can asked, "Uncle, isn't that a bottle of mineral water in your hand?"
But his uncle had completely gone deaf at this moment. He picked up the bottled water and left. Can Can wanted to follow him and remind his uncle again, but his aunt stopped him.
She said, "Your uncle might want to drink some hot water to calm down."
Can Can said, "Okay then!"
He looked up at his aunt, wanting her to hug him again, but why was his aunt's face also a little red?
Can Can asked in confusion, "Auntie, what happened to your face? It's all red, just like Uncle's!"
Wen Shuqiao raised her hand and touched her face. It was indeed an unnatural red. Shen Jiazhou's tearful glance just now really...
Stop, stop.
Wen Shuqiao patted her face to calm herself down, then replied seriously, "Auntie is a little short of breath, so her face is red. Come on, I'll take you to change your clothes."
After saying that, without waiting for Can Can's consent, she turned and walked towards the children's room.
Can Can glanced at the kitchen and then at her aunt's back, filled with questions, before following her aunt to the children's room.
After changing Can Can into a new set of pajamas, Wen Shu Qiao ordered a bubble machine online. It took her quite a while before she finally came out of the children's room.
Shen Jiazhou was already seated at the dining table, his slender fingers lifting a shrimp and gracefully peeling it.
Can Can rubbed her rumbling stomach, slipped on her slippers and ran over quickly. She climbed onto a stool and couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the table full of delicious food.
Wen Shuqiao slowly walked over and took a look. Shen Jiazhou had almost finished peeling a plate of boiled shrimp, with whole shrimp meat arranged in several circles on the plate.
Can Can turned her head and said, "Auntie, come and sit down, it's time to eat!"
Shen Jiazhou raised his head slightly and looked at Wen Shuqiao as well. Wen Shuqiao had already pulled out her chair and sat down. She also looked up at Shen Jiazhou and said, "Thank you for your hard work peeling so many shrimp."
Shen Jiazhou placed the last shrimp on the plate, then stood up and said, "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty. I'll go wash my hands."
Neither of them mentioned what had just happened. Can Can couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks. As soon as his uncle came back after washing his hands, he would eat like crazy and eat himself into a calf!
Shen Jiazhou quickly washed his hands, dried them with kitchen paper, took several deep breaths, and then relaxed, turned around, and returned to the dining table.
As usual, Can Can picked up a shrimp for her aunt and then one for her uncle. Finally, she put one in her own mouth with her chopsticks, her eyes squinting with delight at the sweet and fresh shrimp.
Watching him shake his head, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile. Finally, she turned her attention back to the bowl, lowered her head slightly, and ate the shrimp. It was indeed delicious.
She looked up as if to say something, but a spicy crab was placed in her bowl. She looked over and saw that Shen Jiazhou had naturally put away his chopsticks, picked up a steamed crab, and quickly peeled it for Can Can.
Wen Shuqiao looked at the spicy crab, whispered a thank you, and started eating as well.
The auntie's cooking skills are excellent. This crab is coated with a little bit of powder, and the spicy and sweet flavors are perfectly combined.
Wen Shuqiao remembers the first time she ate crab. It was her roommate's birthday, and she was invited to dinner. That night, there was spicy crab on the table, and she was amazed by it.
Unexpectedly, the food was even better today, though a bit spicy. After eating half a crab, she wanted to drink some water, and Shen Jiazhou poured her some warm water.
Can Can glanced at her aunt and, taking advantage of their inattention, also picked up a spicy crab. Before Wen Shu Qiao could stop her, Can Can opened her mouth and took a bite of the crab meat.
He chewed it, then spat out the crab meat a second later. He opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue: "Auntie! Do I not have a tongue anymore? It hurts!"
Can Can had never eaten such spicy food before, and his eyes instantly filled with tears. Wen Shu Qiao put down her cup, tore off a tissue, and wiped away his tears: "Your tongue is still there, it's okay, it's okay."
"A crab is pricking my mouth." Can Can never imagined that he had only taken a bite of crab, and it was pricking his mouth.
Good and bad crabs!
Shen Jiazhou, sitting opposite, couldn't help but smile. Wen Shuqiao said, "Stop smiling, or he'll get angry."
She had already handed her remaining cup to Can Can; the water was at room temperature, which was just right to relieve the spiciness.
Shen Jiazhou didn't smile so obviously, but he also got up and walked to his side: "Let me see."
Can Can put down her cup, opened her mouth in a wronged manner, and saw Shen Jia Zhou say in surprise, "Oh no, baby's tongue is gone, it was eaten by the crab."
Upon hearing this, the tears that Can Can had just wiped away instantly welled up again.
That's it, he's lost his tongue, he's no longer the most handsome dragon, Ao Ao Tian.
