After finishing her meal, Wen Shuqiao yawned, feeling a bit sleepy again.
Can Can was also a little sleepy. Although he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow last night, his uncle woke him up early this morning to play the erhu.
After yawning several times, she finally leaned against Wen Shuqiao and said, "Auntie, shall we go take a nap?"
I'm going out this afternoon, but I'll have to wait until after 5 p.m.
Wen Shuqiao glanced into the kitchen, where Shen Jiazhou was preparing the leftovers from their meal.
After regaining her senses, she nodded and said, "Let's go."
Can Can took her aunt's hand and said, "Will you take a nap with me? I want to sleep while holding you."
Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly, "Okay, I promise you."
Can Can let out a small "yo-ho," but he didn't dare to shout too loudly, otherwise his uncle would hear him and wouldn't let his aunt sleep with him.
My uncle is so mean.
Can Can silently cursed her uncle in her heart.
Shen Jiazhou sneezed in the kitchen, but his hands didn't stop. He threw the disposable box into the trash can, but he was still wondering who was cursing him.
By the time he finished packing up the takeout and came out, there was no one left in the living room.
Just as Shen Jiazhou was starting to have doubts, he saw that the previously open door to the children's room had closed, and he understood what was going on.
He strode over and opened the door, only to see Wen Shuqiao and Cancan lying on the bed. Cancan was already asleep. Wen Shuqiao heard the noise and groggily turned around to look, but after seeing that it was Shen Jiazhou, she turned back to sleep.
Shen Jiazhou quietly closed the children's room door, then walked to the bed and lay down. He forcefully put one arm around Wen Shuqiao's waist, moved closer to her, and after their bodies were pressed together, he skillfully rubbed his head against her back.
Wen Shuqiao was really tired. She felt like she had stayed up all night and her body and soul had separated.
She mumbled, "Don't move, I'm sleepy."
Shen Jiazhou took a deep breath of hers, then hummed in agreement: "Go to sleep."
I can take a nap, and when I wake up, I can get ready to go out.
Shen Jiazhou raised his head slightly. Wen Shuqiao was sleeping on her side, and Can Can was nestled in her arms, sleeping soundly.
Shen Jiazhou slightly raised his hand and placed it on Cancan's body.
Holding them both tightly, Shen Jiazhou fell asleep in their comforting embrace.

After turning 27, Shen Jiazhou felt that every day after that passed by very quickly.
It seemed like only a blink of an eye, and it was time for Wen Shuqiao to go out.
Can Can sat on the ground with a wronged look on her face, watching her aunt pack the clothes into the suitcase. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she took off her slippers and sat in the suitcase herself.
Wen Shuqiao was holding the clothes and was about to put them down when she saw Can Can's appearance.
She said, "Didn't we agree on this? Why are you going back on your word?"
Can Can wouldn't listen. He lay down and said, "Auntie, take me with you too."
Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly. She walked over and put the clothes on the bed, then waved to Can Can: "Come here, let your aunt give you a hug."
Can Can quickly emerged from her suitcase, without even putting on her shoes, and ran to Wen Shu Qiao's side in a few steps.
Wen Shuqiao picked him up, and Cancan sat on her lap, leaning against her body, his fingers tightly gripping her clothes, and asked, "Auntie, can I regret it? Please don't leave me, okay?"
Her eyes were red, and tears were already clinging to her eyelashes.
Wen Shuqiao turned to the side, grabbed a tissue, and wiped his tears: "Auntie is not leaving you. Auntie is going out to work, and she will only be gone for two months. When Auntie comes back, she will bring you fun gifts and nice clothes."
"I don't want fun toys or pretty clothes." Can Can buried her face in her shoulder and wrapped her arms tightly around her neck. "I just want my aunt to be with me."
Wen Shuqiao hugged him back. Just then, Shen Jiazhou came in from outside. He had just finished a video conference and saw Can Can sitting on Wen Shuqiao's lap, clinging to her.
He glanced at the suitcase on the ground. Tomorrow was the day Wen Shuqiao was going away, and she wouldn't be back until the end of April.
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him, then said to Cancan, "Your aunt is here with you. You can video chat with your aunt when you get home from school."
Can Can said sullenly, "That's different!"
How come the aunt in the video looks the same as the aunt you can hug?
Shen Jiazhou walked over and sat down next to Wen Shuqiao.
He placed one hand on Wen Shuqiao's back, turned slightly to the side, and said, "Don't cry."
When Can Can heard her uncle's voice, she lifted her head from Wen Shuqiao's shoulder with tears in her eyes, wanting her uncle to persuade her aunt not to go out.
But his uncle just pinched his cheek and said, "Your aunt will be back when she's done with her work. A man should be strong and independent."
Can Can buried her face in anger again: "I'm not a man, I'm a girl now."
He was originally quite pitiful, but after he said that, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shen Jiazhou also looked like he couldn't bear to watch; how could his mind work so fast?
Moreover, even if she becomes a girl, it won't change the fact that Wen Shuqiao is going far away.
Shen Jiazhou sighed inwardly. Can Can was still too naive!
