The hotel delivered breakfast, and the three of them ate a hearty breakfast. Shen Jiazhou tidied his clothes in the room, and Wen Shuqiao took Can Can downstairs.
They happened to run into Xie Jingbei as he was leaving.
Can Can looked at Xie Jingbei and greeted him politely, "Good morning, Uncle."
Xie Jingbei smiled, bent down and patted his head: "Good morning, Can Can. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've already eaten," Can Can said. "My aunt had the hotel deliver breakfast to me. It was delicious. I ate a big bowl of noodles."
Xie Jingbei gave a thumbs up: "What a fantastic kid."
Can Can, holding Wen Shu Qiao's hand, lowered her head and smiled shyly.
After greeting Can Can, Xie Jingbei went to look at Wen Shuqiao and asked, "Are you going to see Zhong Qi?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded, then said, "I came to find you. Teacher Xie, I can't join the rest of the schedule, so I came to let you know."
Xie Jingbei frowned, instantly thinking of what happened last night: "Is it because of Yan Ge? I've already sent him away, you don't need to worry."
"No," Wen Shuqiao quickly said, "I have something urgent to attend to and need to go back first. By the time I finish my business, the travel photoshoot will be basically over."
Xie Jingbei was a little puzzled, but Wen Shuqiao was determined to leave, so he didn't try to persuade her. He just said, "Okay, if you need anything, remember to call me. I can help you too."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Xie."
Xie Jingbei shook his head: "No trouble at all. When are you leaving?"
"My flight is at around 1 p.m. I'll be leaving once I've packed up," Wen Shuqiao said. "You go ahead with your work. I just came to let you know. See you when I get back."
“…Okay.” Xie Jingbei took a step to the side, and then reached out to pat Cancan’s head one last time: “Goodbye Cancan. When we get back, your uncle will treat you and An’an to dinner, okay?”
Can Can nodded: "Goodbye, Uncle!"
Xie Jingbei didn't stop and left immediately.
After he left, Can Can looked up and asked, "Auntie, weren't we supposed to play here?"
Wen Shuqiao squeezed his hand and continued walking down the corridor. She said, "We're not playing anymore. Our family is going home this afternoon."
Can Can asked incredulously, "Auntie, do you mean you're going home too?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded, looking at Can Can's surprised little face, and said gently, "Yes, let's go home and play with the baby, okay?"
"Okay!" Can Can was so excited that she forgot to control her volume. After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes curving into crescents, and whispered "Okay" again.
Auntie's home! He can finally live with Auntie and Uncle!
Hehehe! Just thinking about it makes me so happy!
In his joy, he didn't notice the worry that filled his aunt's eyes as she looked at him.
After speaking with Zhong Qi, Wen Shuqiao took Can Can back upstairs.
Shen Jiazhou had already packed his luggage. He asked, "Check again to make sure there's anything you've forgotten."
Wen Shuqiao didn't bring out much stuff in the first place, and Shen Jiazhou, being a meticulous person, had already checked it before Wen Shuqiao returned.
"Let's go then." Shen Jiazhou pushed the two suitcases. "Let's check out first, then take a taxi there now, and grab something to eat at the airport?"
Even a ticket for 1:30 couldn't make them travel at a leisurely pace.
Wen Shuqiao had no objection to the arrangement: "Okay."
She thought for a moment, then went over and hugged Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou immediately released the handle of his suitcase, hugged her back, and rubbed his head against her shoulder a couple of times. His voice was a little muffled, but he still asked with a smile, "What's wrong? I'm not used to being hugged so warmly."
Wen Shuqiao hugged him tighter and said, "I just feel that you and Cancan have both worked hard."
They took a break from their busy schedules to bring the kids over, but only stayed one night before heading back home, without even starting to play yet.
"It's not hard work." Shen Jiazhou kissed her neck. "As long as our family is together, nothing is hard work."
Can Can crossed her arms and looked up at them unhappily.
Why do my aunt and uncle stop hugging me after they've hugged me?
Shen Jiazhou noticed that Can Can was staring at him with a very unfriendly gaze, and felt like he was about to jump up and hit him at any moment.
He chuckled softly, "If you don't let go of me, one of the little brats is going to turn into a wild boar and come and ram me."
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze, let go of him, and was about to look down at Can Can when Shen Jiazhou kissed her first: "Cheer up. It'll be dinner time when we get back. I've already asked Aunt Zhang to go buy groceries. You must be missing home-cooked meals after being away for so long, right?"
He also ordered a small cake, just in time to celebrate Wen Shuqiao's birthday at home.
That's great. Home is definitely much more convenient than a hotel.
"Okay." Wen Shuqiao slung her camera over her shoulder and took Can Can's hand. "Let's go."
There are still many things to do when we get back.
Wen Shuqiao and Cancan walked ahead, while Shen Jiazhou followed behind, pushing two suitcases.
He carried the box out and looked up at Wen Shuqiao, who was only a step away from him.
She was talking to Can Can right now, smiling, as if nothing had happened.
Shen Jiazhou stared at her profile for a long while before looking away.
He had guessed that Wen Shuqiao was hiding something from him when she said she was going back early.
But what exactly is the purpose of going back?
And everything was fine yesterday, we even slept together, but when I woke up, something was wrong.
Shen Jiazhou suppressed his thoughts, and besides, why not tell him?
She looked at him, but hesitated to speak.
