Chapter 129: Peaceful Sleep
Wen Shuqiao didn't expect that Shen Jiazhou had fallen asleep. The door of the second bedroom was still half open. She walked to the door with a pillow and blanket in one hand and took a look.
Shen Jiazhou was lying on his side with his back to the door. He probably fell asleep while talking.
She let out a long sigh, but didn't say anything. Instead, she reached in, turned off the light inside, and then gently closed the door of the second bedroom.
Wen Shuqiao took Cancan's hand and took him back to the bedroom: "Lie down first, I'll come over later."
Cancan nodded and returned to the master bedroom. He was more familiar with it and climbed onto the bed very quickly, wrapped in a blanket and lay down: "Auntie~you have to be quick!"
Wen Shuqiao covered him with the quilt: "Okay, go to sleep, your aunt will be here soon."
Cancan nodded and waited quietly for her aunt to come back.
With Shen Jiazhou's "accident", Wen Shuqiao did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly finished writing the last point, then got up to lock the door. After checking everything, he turned off the lights in the living room and returned to the bedroom.
Cancan was already a little sleepy, but her round eyes were still looking at Wen Shuqiao.
Seeing that he was not asleep, Wen Shuqiao took him to brush his teeth before lying back in bed.
As soon as he lay down, Cancan automatically rolled into her arms. He was still thinking about his uncle's "evil deeds" just now, and complained to his aunt: "My uncle is a bad guy."
Wen Shuqiao tucked his quilt and explained, "My uncle is too tired."
She patted Cancan's back and coaxed him softly, "Baby, you will get tired after sitting in the car for a while. In order to rush back to see you, your uncle sat in the car for a long time, so of course he would be tired too."
Cancan thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
He whispered, "Well, then I don't blame my uncle."
Wen Shuqiao hummed: "Baby, everyone gets tired sometimes. Wait until your uncle has rested, and then let him tell you a story, okay?"
Although Shen Jiazhou was on a business trip these days, the two of them still kept in touch on WeChat. Basically, whenever Cancan did something, she would synchronize with him.
Sometimes Shen Jiazhou would reply immediately, but sometimes he didn't reply. Many times, when she woke up in the morning, she found that Shen Jiazhou had replied to her message at one or two in the morning.
When she replied in the morning, Shen Jiazhou was already on his way to work.
You can imagine how much work this is. People are not made of iron, and he probably hasn't had a good sleep in the past few nights.
Originally, when she received the news that Shen Jiazhou was coming, she wanted to persuade him to come tomorrow, but Shen Jiazhou said that Cancan missed him, so he rested for a while and came over without stopping.
When she opened the door just now, she noticed that Shen Jiazhou had actually lost some weight and looked a little tired.
Cancan closed her eyes, feeling Wen Shuqiao's occasional pats, and replied in a daze: "...Okay."
Wen Shuqiao hummed an unknown tune. Cancan was about to fall asleep, but he suddenly thought of something and muttered, "Aunt~"
"Hmm?" Wen Shuqiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"My brother is missing too." Cancan said, "I called him these past few days, but he didn't come out."
Wen Shuqiao knew that he was talking about the system in his brain, so she said, "Brother may also need a rest."
In all the systematic AI works she had seen, it was mentioned that the system required energy. She wondered if the system in Cancan's mind was the same?
But there was no way to verify it, so Wen Shuqiao asked, "Did my brother say when we would leave?"
Cancan was really going to sleep now. In the familiar scent and warm bed, his voice gradually became softer: "I don't know..."
Wen Shuqiao tucked the quilt in for him again. She could tell that this was the last buffer before shutting down the phone, so she didn't ask any more questions: "Go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll cook your favorite noodles for you, okay?"
"Um……"
Cancan fell asleep next to Wen Shuqiao. Wen Shuqiao also closed his eyes and fell asleep while holding Cancan in his arms.

Shen Jiazhou was awakened by being suffocated.
He felt that his body had become very heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on him. Not only that, he felt as if his facial features were being painted by something and were very itchy.
He opened his eyes and what he saw was an enlarged "big face", and the culprit for the itchiness on his facial features was this person's fingers.
Shen Jiazhou seemed dazed for a moment, and in the dim light, he realized that it was his good nephew Cancan.
He subconsciously said, "Sorry, baby, uncle fell asleep, uncle will tell you the story again..."
Cancan couldn't help laughing. He pressed on Shen Jiazhou's body, pressing him firmly. He held his face with both hands instead: "Uncle! Auntie asked the baby to wake you up! Auntie said that if you don't get up, you will be late for work!"
Shen Jiazhou's brain seemed to be turned off. What kind of work was that?
He turned his head and glanced out the window. The curtains were drawn tightly, but a faint light still filtered through the fabric.
It was different from what he saw last night, as if it was really dawn outside.
…
Shen Jiazhou suddenly sat up from the bed, and Cancan was startled and almost fell off him.
He quickly hugged Cancan and asked, "Baby, what time is it?"
Cancan handed over his wrist, on which were the two watches that his aunt had given him this morning. Of course, one of them belonged to his uncle.
Shen Jiazhou took a look and saw that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He actually slept here dreamlessly all night? !
Cancan sat on his lap and asked curiously, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jiazhou came back to his senses: "It's okay."
He pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking about how to explain to Wen Shuqiao.
He was telling a great story last night, but Cancan thought it was not good enough and asked him to tell something else. So he hugged her sideways and patted her back while telling her about what happened on this business trip.
He originally wanted to coax Cancan to sleep and then go back, but he didn't expect that while talking, he fell asleep instead.
Cancan climbed off him and got out of bed, urging him in her furry slippers: "Hurry up, uncle!"
Shen Jiazhou resigned himself to his fate and lifted the quilt. He slipped on his slippers and followed Cancan out of the second bedroom.
Sure enough, it was dawn.
Even the milk and cake were already buried in breakfast.
Wen Shuqiao was carrying a bowl of hot noodles out. She saw Shen Jiazhou getting up and said, "There are new toiletries in the bathroom. You can use them. Also, breakfast should be ready soon. Hurry up. Eating seafood noodles will make them lumpy if you eat them for a long time."
Shen Jiazhou looked at Wen Shuqiao. After she finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen. She didn't think it was strange that he came out of the second bedroom, or tease him.
Yes, if Wen Shuqiao minded, he would have woken himself up last night.
Cancan also shook his hand: "Uncle, uncle, hurry up, the noodles are delicious!"
Shen Jiazhou hummed, went into the bathroom and tidied himself up.
When he came out of the bathroom, Wen Shuqiao and Cancan were already sitting at the dining table.
He walked over and sat down. Cancan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks: "Uncle, uncle, eat quickly!"
Wen Shuqiao also put his phone aside: "Have breakfast. The seafood soup was delivered early this morning."
Shen Jiazhou arranged for someone to deliver breakfast, and you could tell the delivery person what you wanted to eat and it would be delivered the next day.
Cancan was talking about seafood noodles yesterday afternoon, but unexpectedly Shen Jiazhou also caught up.
Shen Jiazhou picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl. Finally, he raised his head and said, "I'm so sorry for last night. I should have left."
Wen Shuqiao swallowed the noodles in her mouth and replied, "It's okay. You'll have a good rest and Cancan will be happy too."
Cancan also nodded: "Yes, yes, uncle, did you sleep well last night?"
My aunt said that my uncle would get tired too, so of course he would have to be a considerate and understanding baby!
Shen Jiazhou looked at her frank attitude, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
Then he looked at Cancan and replied seriously: "I slept very well."
He hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.
