Wen Shuqiao didn't know what Qu Lan was feeling when she left, but she was actually in a good mood at the moment. After all, judging from Qu Lan's appearance, she probably wouldn't bother her anymore.
She closed the door, turned around, and immediately saw Can Can peeking out of the bedroom. She glanced down at the machete in her hand, pretended not to see Can Can, and went straight to the kitchen. After putting the machete back in its place, she looked up and patted her cheeks to soften her expression.
"Auntie~"
Can Can's voice came from behind her. Wen Shuqiao turned around and saw Can Can and his loyal followers standing in a row at the kitchen door.
Can Can looked at Wen Shu Qiao and turned around, then raised his hand to signal Wen Shu Qiao to hug him.
Wen Shuqiao walked over and easily picked him up: "What's wrong, baby?"
Can Can put an arm around her neck and asked, "What did that old lady just say?"
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "Why are you so gossipy at such a young age?"
Can Can pouted, then buried her face in her shoulder again, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go: "Auntie~ Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao carried him back to the living room: "Do you want to take a nap? How about your aunt makes you some chicken soup tonight?"
As the weather grew colder, Wen Shuqiao liked to drink some soup. She happened to see the knife and realized that she hadn't made chicken soup for Can Can in a long time.
But it's alright, Can Can has gained a lot of weight recently, and Wen Shu Qiao's arms really start to ache after carrying her for a while, unlike before when she could easily carry her for a long distance.
She sat down with Can Can in her arms: "Alright, alright, stop being so clingy."
Can Can wasn't being coquettish; he was genuinely feeling sleepy from Wen Shu Qiao's familiar scent. He clung to her for a while, refusing to move, and even forgot what he wanted to ask.
The system snorted, thinking to itself, "She was still thinking about her aunt in the bedroom, but now that she's out, she doesn't even ask anymore? So fickle! All she does is cling!"
Wen Shuqiao patted the back of his head, guessing that he was about to fall asleep, so she simply adjusted his position and patted him gently: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, your aunt is here."
Can Can raised a hand to touch Wen Shu Qiao's earlobe: "Auntie~ Was that grandma invited by Aunt Si Si?"
Faced with the choice between sleeping and not sleeping, Can Can still chose to ask.
Because he remembered that when he went to the banquet mentioned by the system with his aunt, this old lady was standing next to Aunt Sisi.
Wen Shuqiao hugged him tighter: "No."
Can Can blinked in her arms: "Isn't that right?"
Wen Shuqiao simply picked him up and carried him back to the bedroom.
Although a children's room was prepared for Can Can, he has been sleeping next to me these days.
Wen Shuqiao changed him into his pajamas and tucked him into bed: "Go to sleep, baby."
Can Can's eyes sparkled as she patted her pillow: "Auntie, time for a nap."
Except when he's extremely tired, he always has to be coaxed to sleep. Can Can has long been used to Wen Shu Qiao being by his side. Without Wen Shu Qiao, he can't fall asleep.
Wen Shuqiao was still thinking about the problem, so she went to change into some pajamas. As soon as she lay down, Cancan skillfully came over, hugged Wen Shuqiao's arm with both hands, and pressed her face against her arm.
This is a strange sleeping position.
Wen Shuqiao didn't correct him. She would just lay him down when he fell asleep. She was already very skilled at this.
But perhaps an uninvited guest had arrived at the house. Can Can couldn't fall asleep for a while, and opened one eye to check if Wen Shu Qiao was asleep.
Then, like a little pig, she wiggled around inside the blankets and snuggled into Wen Shuqiao's arms: "Auntie~"
He reached out and touched Wen Shuqiao's face. When she didn't react, he pinched her earlobe. He could do eighty of these little gestures in a minute.
Wen Shuqiao opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Pretending to be asleep failed.
Can Can pinched her ear and couldn't help but chuckle softly. He knew it! His aunt wasn't asleep!
Still trying to hide it from the baby? No way!
The system hummed twice, proudly declaring: "[A protagonist like Long Aotian needs keen insight! Keep it up!]"
Can Can proudly raised her head, "Hold on!"
Seeing his proud expression, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but roll over, pinch his chin with one hand, and ask, "Are you going to take a nap or not?"
Can Can pouted and mumbled, "Years! Years! Years!"
Wen Shuqiao let go this time: "Then sleep peacefully. After you fall asleep, we'll go out for a stroll and enjoy the cake."
I'll buy a chicken and stew it while I'm at it.
Can Can hummed in agreement: "Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao found him strange; he just called her name without saying anything more. She put her hand on him and gently patted him, saying, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Can Can moved even closer, and Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment: "Baby, shouldn't you tell your aunt first?"
Can Can nodded hesitantly: "Mm."
The system was also puzzled: "What are you trying to say?"
So, 800 feints a minute means he has something to say?
Wen Shuqiao closed her eyes, her hand still patting his gently: "Go ahead and speak, your aunt is listening."
In the warm, familiar, and safe environment, Can Can asked softly, "Why doesn't Aunt Si Si come to see the baby?"
Although he doesn't really like Aunt Sisi, his mother said before that Aunt Sisi is the baby's only relative. But isn't the baby's only relative his aunt?
He had many questions, but he couldn't organize his thoughts to express them completely.
Wen Shuqiao opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Can Can's conflicted face. Can Can hadn't spoken to Su Sisi on their previous two encounters, and she'd also mentioned that Su Sisi seemed to have a distant relationship with her mother.
Why are you asking this again today?
Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment and asked, "Baby, Auntie is asking you, how did you get to the orphanage?"
The system's code fluctuated, and it never imagined that Long Aotian would appear at the orphanage's gate.
Can Can thought for a moment: "Baby has forgotten a bit."
Wen Shuqiao took the initiative to pull him into her arms: "It's okay, baby, tell me when you remember, okay?"
Can Can buried her face in the gap between Wen Shu Qiao and the pillow, thought hard, and finally came up with something.
He whispered in Wen Shuqiao's ear, "An uncle took me there that day."
uncle?
Wen Shuqiao hugged him: "Have we met before?"
Can Can thought for a moment and said, "No."
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Baby, where did you live before you went to the orphanage?"
"At home~" Can Can said, "Grandma next door is feeding the baby."
The system replied: [What do you mean "home"? It's our hometown! It's Grandma Ye's!]
Cancan then said, "My hometown, Grandma Ye."
My hometown, Grandma Ye?
That being said, Wen Shuqiao really hadn't thought about where Can Can's hometown was; it didn't seem to be mentioned in the novel.
She asked, "Do you remember where your hometown is?"
Where is my hometown?
Now Can Can truly had no idea. He asked the system, "System, do you know?"
The system also fell silent, which was unusual. Hometown, where is it?
