After paying their respects to Zhou Yue, Shen Jiazhou led them downstairs.
Holding his hand, Can Can couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, did you live here before?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "When your uncle was a child, he lived here with your father."
Can Can exclaimed, "Uncle, you and Dad live in a castle! That's amazing!"
Shen Jiazhou smiled, his eyes crinkling. He patted Cancan's head and said, "If you like, we'll send you to stay here during summer vacation. That way, your aunt and I can have an easier time."
Can Can shook her head and said, "I want to come with you, okay?"
A family should always be together!
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao beside him but didn't answer Cancan. Asking him this question was pointless.
Seeing that her uncle didn't answer, Can Can turned to look at her aunt.
Wen Shuqiao sighed and said helplessly, "Let's talk about the future later, okay?"
“Okay.” Can Can agreed with Wen Shu Qiao’s suggestion.
Let's talk about the future later!
Shen Jiazhou, however, was staring at the stairs, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhou Sheng sat on the sofa waiting for them to come down, and she said with a smile, "Come down."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Grandma, how have you been feeling lately?"
"Same as always, I can still eat, walk, and play mahjong." Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. On the contrary, you all look so thin! Especially Qiao Qiao, I feel like a strong wind could blow you away."
Wen Shuqiao wasn't quite used to her elders caring for her like this, and felt a little flustered. In the end, she smiled and replied, "I'll eat more."
Zhou Sheng nodded in satisfaction: "Young people shouldn't just think about losing weight. When you get old, there are some things you want to eat but won't be able to eat anymore."
Wen Shuqiao nodded and said, "I know, Grandma. No matter what, health is the most important thing."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao furtively, his face unable to hide his joy.
Zhou Sheng sat on the other side, taking in everything about Shen Jiazhou perfectly.
However, he didn't say much, only saying, "I'll rest here tonight and have a good chat with you all. I've been so bored these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiazhou said, "We're here on short notice, so we won't be staying at home. We're taking Cancan skiing tomorrow. After dinner, would you like Grandma to come with us?"
Zhou Sheng waved her hand: "I'm too lazy to go. This kind of sport is for you young people. I'm an old lady, so I'll just stay home and play mahjong."
She waved to Can Can again: "Come here, sweetie, come to Grandma and talk to her."
Can Can obediently walked over and sat down with her. Zhou Sheng then asked about kindergarten. When kindergarten was mentioned, Can Can had a lot to say.
Wen Shuqiao turned around and exchanged a glance with Shen Jiazhou beside her, then smiled and chatted with Cancan and Zhou Sheng.
They left the manor after having dinner.
Although the snow had stopped, it was still very cold outside. The snow outside the car was so thick that you could make a hole if you rushed in.
Can Can looked back several times until the manor was out of sight before settling down comfortably.
He tilted his head and leaned against Shen Jiazhou.
Wen Shuqiao reminded him, "Uncle is still not feeling well."
Can Can pouted, then sat up straight again, and within seconds, she fell into Wen Shu Qiao's arms.
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but lean down and flick his cheek: "You little rascal, sit up straight."
Can Can closed her eyes and mumbled, "I'm asleep."
"What kind of child talks while asleep?" Wen Shuqiao flicked his cheek again: "You can't cheat."
Can Can started humming again. Halfway through, he felt a force pulling him up. He didn't even need to open his eyes to know that it was his bad uncle who had pulled him up.
He was about to lie down again when he heard Shen Jiazhou say, "Since Cancan is asleep, how about we take him back to his room and go for a soak in the hot spring? Xingyuan and Mingxue are probably already waiting."
Just as Wen Shuqiao was about to say that it wasn't good to soak in a hot spring while having a cold, he saw Shen Jiazhou wink at him.
Okay, it's time to start tricking a certain kid.
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement and then chimed in, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate not to call her Can Can?"
“He was sleepy, there was nothing we could do,” Shen Jiazhou sighed slowly. “Anyway, he’s just a kid, he probably doesn’t like soaking in water anyway…”
"I love soaking in hot springs! I love soaking in hot springs!" Upon hearing this, Can Can quickly opened her eyes, obediently sat down between them, and said firmly, "Uncle, I love soaking in hot springs!"
I can't take it anymore.
Wen Shuqiao turned her face away, trying not to laugh out loud.
Shen Jiazhou clicked his tongue: "I thought you only liked sleeping."
Then she looked at the other side of the car window, where Wen Shuqiao's smiling face was reflected.
He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth: "Stop smirking, someone's watching you."
Wen Shuqiao quickly raised her hands and covered her face with both hands: "I wasn't laughing~"
Upon hearing this, Can Can craned her neck to look: "Auntie! You smiled!"
Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "No, no."
Can Can reached out and pulled away the hands that were covering her face, laughing as she said, "Auntie, Auntie, you're lying, you were laughing."
Shen Jiazhou also said, "I can testify that my aunt did smile."
Can Can let out a soft yelp and nestled into her arms to look at her face.
Wen Shuqiao gave in: "Fine, fine, I laughed, so what?"
Cancan said sweetly, "It's not that great. Auntie's smile is super beautiful."
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Little Can Can, where did you learn these sweet words?"
Can Can remained silent, only looking at Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou tilted his head: "I didn't."
Wen Shuqiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Really not?"
Shen Jiazhou held up two fingers: "I swear."
Cancan said, "Uncle! I swear it's three fingers!"
Shen Jiazhou gave an OK sign.
Can Can exclaimed, "Idiot! That's not how it is!"
How could my uncle be so stupid! He can't even make an oath.
Can Can immediately straightened up from Wen Shuqiao's arms and began to carefully pry open Shen Jiazhou's fingers.
But my uncle's fingers are like stone; no matter how you bend them, they're still okay.
Wen Shuqiao whispered, "Don't bully him."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Cancan, who was still struggling with her fingers, and complained resentfully, "Who's bullying whom here? Why are you taking sides?"
Wen Shuqiao: ?
She didn't!
