Shen Jiazhou woke up at five o'clock in the afternoon.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, only seeing the light he had carefully chosen. After a while, his head started to ache, and he frowned. Not only that, he felt as if he were being crushed by a huge rock, unable to move his legs.
The animated special effects next to his ear made a loud bang, which cleared his dazed mind.
Shen Jiazhou looked down at himself and realized that he was covered with a blanket, while Can Can was lying on his lap. He was lying on his side, chewing something, with both legs pressed against his stomach, his eyes glued to the TV, afraid of missing a single exciting moment.
What kind of position is this?
Shen Jiazhou closed his eyes, somewhat afraid to look, and found the reason why he felt like he was being crushed by Mount Tai.
He took a deep breath and reached out to move the leg on his stomach to the side. With this movement, Can Can also realized that her uncle had woken up.
Can Can let out a shout of "Yay!" and immediately scrambled up from the other end, throwing herself into Shen Jiazhou's arms.
Shen Jia Zhou grunted, hugged him, and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you not to pounce on people like this?"
If he weren't in good health, he would have been knocked unconscious by Can Can long ago.
Can Can cupped his face in her hands, looked him over, and said, "Uncle, you're awake."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Go downstairs, I'm getting up. Where's Auntie?"
"Auntie went downstairs to buy groceries," Can Can said. "Auntie said we're having Ye Ye Chicken tonight, at home! Hehehe, I want to eat Ye Ye Chicken."
Shen Jiazhou pinched his cheek: "Greedy little pig."
Can Can pouted: "Uncle, then you're a stinky pig. You're drunk, and now you've turned into a stinky pig."
Shen Jiazhou frowned, picked him up and sat up abruptly. His head was still a little dizzy. He asked, "How long have we been back?"
He vaguely remembered that after eating, he took a car back, and then he blacked out.
Can Can said, "You came back right after eating. Uncle, you slept all afternoon. I called you but you didn't answer me."
He even secretly touched his uncle's heart behind his aunt's back. Luckily, it was beating, which gave him a big fright!
Shen Jiazhou moved his numb legs, not noticing Can Can's little expression in his arms. Hearing Can Can's voice, he said "oh" and then asked, "How long have you been lying on my lap?"
"I want to watch TV lying down! If you're lying on the sofa, I can only lie on you to watch!" Can Can said matter-of-factly, "Auntie wants to sit on the other sofa!"
Then of course he needs to find his place.
Shen Jiazhou glanced at the single sofa, where a blanket was draped over it, clearly belonging to Wen Shuqiao.
He pressed his brow, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Shen Jiazhou lowered his head and asked, "I didn't do anything, did I?"
Can Can had already gone to watch cartoons. Hearing Shen Jiazhou's words, she replied, "No, Uncle, you're being good, like a little kid."
Shen Jiazhou was relieved; as long as nothing had happened, it was fine.
But is his alcohol tolerance really that low? How can he get so drunk from just a few degrees of alcohol?
He patted Cancan's bottom: "Get down, I'm going to take a shower."
I feel like I've been soaking in alcohol all afternoon after sleeping.
Can Can deftly rolled off his arms and lay down on the sofa, her movements quick and practiced, as if she had been waiting for Shen Jia Zhou to speak.
Shen Jiazhou clicked his tongue, stood up, staggered a bit, and after regaining his balance, he felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and asked, "Did I really not have a drunken outburst?"
Can Can gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" twice: "What's 'drunken madness'? Is it tasty?"
"..." What's the difference between asking and asking for nothing?
Shen Jiazhou gave up on finding answers through Cancan. He instructed, "I'm going to take a shower. You just watch TV obediently, okay?"
Can Can gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" twice to indicate that she had heard.
These aunties had already said before they left that he wasn't a naughty child, so of course he would be obedient!
Shen Jiazhou returned to his master bedroom with peace of mind.
When Wen Shuqiao got home, only Cancan was curled up on the sofa.
As soon as Can Can heard the noise, she turned her head and exclaimed, "Auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao changed her shoes in the entryway, and Cancan came running over. He took some of the groceries from his aunt and eagerly tried to put them in the kitchen.
"Where's Uncle?" Wen Shuqiao asked, having changed her shoes. "Is he awake?"
"Yes," Can Can said, "Uncle went to take a shower."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at the master bedroom and then took Can Can to the kitchen.
She tied on her apron and said brightly, "Auntie, let me help you pick the vegetables!"
Wen Shuqiao handed him the lettuce: "Go ahead and prepare it."
Can Can doesn't accept many vegetables, except for lettuce. After receiving his task, he went to get a small basket and sat on a small stool to pick vegetables, not forgetting to say, "Uncle just asked me if he had gone on a drunken rampage. Auntie, what is a drunken rampage?"
My uncle just said he wouldn't explain it to me!
“It’s about doing some unbelievable things,” Wen Shuqiao explained. “You can think of it as doing things you wouldn’t normally do, both good and bad, but mostly bad.”
"Uncle didn't do anything bad," Can Can said, seemingly understanding but not quite. "But Uncle does smell bad."
Wen Shuqiao chuckled: "Then when you grow up, you can't drink this much."
Can Can nodded: "No, no! I want sweet water."
Wen Shuqiao processed the fresh chicken without saying a word.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the supermarket is crowded. Wen Shuqiao also bought some fruit. Luckily, the supermarket offers delivery service, otherwise she wouldn't know how to bring it back.
Just as she was wondering when the things would arrive, she heard the doorbell ring. She washed her hands, dried them, and was about to open the door when she saw Shen Jiazhou quickly walk over, open the door, and bring the things back into the room.
He turned around to look at her, carrying his things. Wen Shuqiao was standing in the kitchen doorway: "Are you feeling better?"
Shen Jiazhou walked over and stopped in front of him. He pursed his lips and hummed in agreement, "Feeling better? Did I cause you any trouble?"
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him twice and shook her head: "No, you're quite... well-behaved even when you're drunk."
Shen Jiazhou was relieved; it seemed he really hadn't gone on a drunken rampage.
However, he overlooked the strange tone in Wen Shuqiao's voice when she said those words.
He carried the things into the kitchen: "I'll have Aunt Zhang come over."
"No need," Wen Shuqiao said. "It's New Year's Eve tonight, let Aunt Zhang rest. Besides, it's just washing vegetables, it won't take long."
They went into the kitchen together, and Can Can looked up and said, "Uncle! I'm picking vegetables!"
Shen Jiaju praised, "Great job, baby."
Can Can happily hummed a little song, and Shen Jia Zhou clicked his tongue lightly, too embarrassed to say that the tune had gone completely off track and he couldn't understand what she was singing at all.
He glanced at Wen Shuqiao silently. How could she listen to this so calmly?
Wen Shuqiao is amazing!
