Shen Jiazhou fell silent again.
Wen Shuqiao deliberately asked, "Hmm? What do you mean by that? Do you like being called that or not?"
Shen Jiazhou couldn't even bring himself to smile.
Wen Shuqiao pretended not to notice his tacit approval and continued, "Let's still call you President Shen. Calling you President Zhou doesn't do justice to your tall and handsome image. President Shen sounds more domineering."
Shen Jiazhou feigned modesty and said, "No need to call me President Shen."
Wen Shuqiao immediately said, "No, you still have to call me President Shen, it sounds more powerful!"
"I don't need domineering presence." Shen Jiazhou's voice softened considerably, his fingers tightly entwined with Wen Shuqiao's. "I need your love."
Sweet words always come out so unexpectedly, and Wen Shuqiao's face still felt a little hot.
She stopped teasing Shen Jiazhou and took his hand, saying, "I promise you, Zhouzhou."
Shen Jiazhou was actually a little embarrassed.
He's almost thirty, but he acts like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid.
But he just wanted Wen Shuqiao to love him.
Wen Shuqiao taught Cancan a long time ago that if you like someone, you should express it.
Then he wasn't wrong to express it!
With that thought in mind, Shen Jiazhou perked up again.
The two held hands without speaking, their bodies pressed tightly together.
Wen Shuqiao glanced down at their clasped hands and tightened her grip without making a sound.

The last time we came to the amusement park was for Can Can's birthday. Can Can stood between the two of them, holding one hand on each side, and even hopping a couple of times after taking a few steps. She was really looking forward to today's trip to the amusement park.
Upon entering the park, Can Can saw those stalls selling doll headbands again, and unsurprisingly, she was drawn to them.
The two watched as Can Can happily picked through the stalls, choosing three identical and pretty little devil headbands. They turned to each other and said, "Auntie, I want this one."
Wen Shuqiao asked about the price: 15 yuan for two, or 20 yuan for three.
It's still quite a good deal; this is something you'd only bring along if you're looking for something to carry around.
Shen Jiazhou paid promptly: "Alright, that's yours."
Can Can first gave one to each of them, then put his own on his head. Wen Shu Qiao bent down to adjust it for him and praised, "The cutest little devil baby in the world."
Can Can shook her head and became even happier.
Practice makes perfect. Wen Shuqiao looked up and saw that Shen Jiazhou had already put it on by himself, and even used his phone to check if it was on properly.
Wen Shuqiao continued to praise, "So handsome, the most handsome devil in the world, Zhou Zhou."
Shen Jiazhou coughed lightly, a hint of red on the tips of his ears. He put down his phone, but finally gave a soft "hmm" in agreement with Wen Shuqiao.
Seeing that her uncle had put it on, Can Can turned to Wen Shu Qiao and said, "Auntie, you should wear it too!"
Shen Jiazhou raised his phone again, but this time he opened the camera and turned the screen to face Wen Shuqiao, indicating that she should use it as a mirror.
Wen Shuqiao glanced at it, then reached out and lifted Shen Jiazhou's hand up slightly before slowly putting on her own devil headband.
Shen Jiazhou kept his eyes on her, his gentle smile almost overflowing.
Can Can also looked up at her aunt, waiting for her to fix her hair.
After putting it on, Shen Jiazhou turned off his phone and put it down, then smiled and praised, "The most beautiful demon king in the world."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you even copying me when I compliment people?"
Shen Jiazhou took her hand: "You're allowed to imitate me, but I'm not allowed to imitate you? That's not fair. I'm going to imitate how you talk."
He remembers this debt very clearly!
Wen Shuqiao commented: "Childish!"
Shen Jiazhou was immune by now: "Yes, Mr. Wen, aren't you naive?"
Can Can didn't want to listen to his aunt and uncle arguing about who was being childish, so he took his aunt's hand and tried to pull her forward.
Wen Shuqiao tugged at Shen Jiazhou again, and Shen Jiazhou took a step forward and walked with her.
Can Can wanted to play everything. She first went to ride the carousel a few times with her uncle. After Shen Jiazhou got off, he couldn't help but lean his head on Wen Shuqiao's shoulder and muttered, "If I ride a few more times, I feel like I'm going to turn into a carousel."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Let's take a break. We'll play bumper cars later. We'll just bump into each other a couple of times and that'll be fine."
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but wonder, is this statement true?
Although Can Can has grown quite a bit taller, there are still some activities she can't participate in. The three of them spent most of their time walking around the park, taking lots of photos.
It was getting a little dark, so the three of them found a bench and sat down. Can Can sniffed the air like a puppy, then said expectantly, "Uncle, I'm a little hungry."
He smells grilled sausage! He wants to eat grilled sausage! He loves grilled sausage!
Most of the time, Shen Jiazhou accompanied Cancan to play on the rides. Wen Shuqiao looked up and around and said, "I'll go buy it."
Shen Jiazhou had already stood up: "No need, I'll take him to see it, so that we don't buy something that doesn't suit his taste."
When Can Can heard that his uncle was going to take him along, he was actually a little tired, but when he thought about being able to eat grilled sausages right away, he got off the bench, took his uncle's hand, and urged, "Okay, let's go quickly, Uncle."
Shen Jiazhou looked at Wen Shuqiao sitting on the bench: "We'll be back soon."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Shen Jiazhou took Cancan to buy grilled sausages. There were quite a lot of people buying grilled sausages, so they had to wait in line.
Can Can looked at it and said, "Uncle, I also want to drink strawberry milk, can you buy it for me?"
