An'an quickly ran up to them, hugged Can Can tightly, and then said, "You didn't come yesterday, I missed you so much."
Can Can hugged him tightly, saying, "I missed you too, An An."
An'an said, "Yesterday I learned a new dance with the other children. I'll teach you later."
Can Can nodded: "Okay, let's dance together."
The two children bonded, and An'an went to see Wen Shuqiao with bright, sparkling eyes: "Auntie! I missed you so much too! I haven't seen you in so long!"
Wen Shuqiao bent down and patted his head: "Auntie missed you too. It's been so long since I've seen you. You've grown so much."
An An proudly raised her chin: "I eat well every day, and I'm even taller than Can Can."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at it and saw that An'an was indeed a little more energetic than Can Can.
Can Can was unconvinced and quickly said, "I'll be taller than you tomorrow."
He's taller than An'an!
An'an said, "Then I'll be taller than you the day after tomorrow!"
Can Can was unhappy: "Then I'll be taller than you the day after tomorrow!"
Seeing that the two little devils were about to start arguing about their height, Wen Shuqiao said, "Shall we go to the classroom together?"
She stretched out her hands, and Can Can and An An forgot about comparing heights. They happily each held one hand and walked towards the classroom with Wen Shu Qiao.
An'an asked, "Auntie, did it have fun going out with my uncle?"
"That's fun! Auntie even bought you a gift. I'll pick you up this weekend. Would you like to come to my house to play?" Wen Shuqiao said, "Cancan and I will come to pick you up together."
“Okay, okay!” An’an was of course willing: “Then can you take me and Can Can to Fei Fei’s place to play? I miss Fei Fei too.”
Can Can nodded: "Of course! We'll take my little sister to the park to play on the slide!"
"Great! You can come to my house to play on the slide!"
The two children quickly decided on their weekend plans, and I dropped them off at the door.
Perhaps she was already used to going to school, because when she arrived at the door, Can Can said goodbye to Wen Shu Qiao and Shen Jia Zhou, and then chatted with An An as they walked hand in hand into the classroom.
Shen Jiazhou stood behind Wen Shuqiao. The two were about to take their seats. The two children were quite popular. As soon as they got to their seats, other children came to play with them.
But most of the time they still look for An'an, and incidentally for Can Can.
Shen Jiazhou withdrew his gaze: "Let's go."
Wen Shuqiao nodded, and the two prepared to go to the monitoring room to take a look.
Shen Jiazhou had already spoken to the dean, so as soon as they entered the monitoring room, the security guard pulled up the surveillance footage of Can Can's class and had them sit down and watch it.
Wen Shuqiao said in a low voice, "It's not An'an."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Let me take another look."
The two of them couldn't sleep last night and speculated about how Yue would react as the descent occurred.
His reaction to seeing Shen Jiazhou, in particular, was definitely different from his reaction to seeing others.
An An had just greeted Shen Jia Zhou and hadn't paid much attention to him since.
This reaction is probably not the case.
Wen Shuqiao sat in the chair and sighed heavily.
Shen Jiazhou stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder, helping her relax: "There's still time, take your time searching."
Wen Shuqiao patted the back of his hand: "Go to work, I'll go back after I've checked it out."
Shen Jiazhou has a routine meeting this morning, and he'll be late if he doesn't leave now.
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "I will also pay close attention to them."
The two looked at each other, and saw worry and reassurance in each other's eyes.
There's still time; we'll find it eventually.
*
Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou have met almost everyone Cancan knows these past few days, and even had a video call with Yu Mingxue, who is far away overseas.
Unfortunately, we still didn't find any clues.
From the day the limited-time task was launched, time was like an hourglass with a hole in it, and the sand was gone in the blink of an eye.
It's the fifth day.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere at home was a little heavy, even Can Can noticed that her uncle and aunt were acting strangely.
In the evening, he was held by his aunt and sat on the sofa. His favorite cartoon was playing on TV, but he wasn't really interested in watching it.
He raised his hand and used his soft fingers to play with his aunt's face.
A little while later, my uncle also came out after taking a shower.
He sat next to his aunt, staring intently at him.
Can Can couldn't help but ask with concern, "Auntie, Uncle, are we going to run out of money?"
Wen Shuqiao asked in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"
Can Can said, "None of you are happy."
He secretly asked An'an what things would make adults unhappy.
An'an said that if the family runs out of money, the adults will be unhappy because without money, they won't have a good life and will only be able to eat unappetizing vegetables every day, instead of meat.
However, An'an also said that if his family ran out of money, he could ask his father for some money so he could buy meat.
Can Can made up her mind and whispered, "Auntie and Uncle, don't be sad. As long as our family is together, I'm willing to eat vegetables."
He doesn't want An'an's father's money either. He wants to earn money himself when he grows up so he can buy meat for his aunt and uncle.
After realizing what Can Can had said, both adults felt a pang of tenderness.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Our family is rich, we don't need the baby to eat only vegetables. Of course, it would be great if the baby was willing to eat vegetables."
Can Can asked with some doubt, "Really?"
Shen Jiazhou chuckled lightly: "Are you questioning your uncle's abilities?"
The cake, which was originally lying on the ground, raised its head and rubbed against Shen Jiazhou's foot after hearing this.
Shen Jiazhou looked down and said, "See, even the cake has great faith in Uncle's abilities. You're not allowed to say things like that again!"
Can Can was relieved and said, "That's great, we don't have to eat vegetables every day anymore. I'm going to tell An An tomorrow that I don't want his mom and dad's money."
“…No wonder.” Shen Jiazhou was a little speechless.
Wen Shuqiao turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "Xie Chuying and I have a project collaboration. Although it's still in the evaluation stage, it's almost finalized. Yesterday, Xie Chuying called me to ask if there were any problems and whether the project could proceed smoothly."
Yesterday he thought Xie Chuying might be up to something, but it turns out it was all his own child's doing behind the scenes.
After hearing this, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "You should call Sister Chu Ying and explain."
"Let's talk about it when we meet. We were supposed to meet for a meeting in a couple of days anyway." Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but reach out and pinch Cancan's nose: "You can't go around saying things like that outside, you know?"
Can Can gave a muffled "oh" and asked, "Then why aren't you happy?"
He really couldn't figure it out.
The two adults simply exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment.
