Chapter 148 Fulfilling the Bet
In fact, Shen Jiazhou is already in his forties when he appears in the novel. Every time the author describes him, he is a dignified, serious and superior.
Although he was very good to Shen Shiyue, Shen Shiyue was still a little afraid of him. He was afraid that he would not do well and that his uncle would be disappointed. In the novel, it can be seen that the uncle and nephew did not like to talk much and they just did things silently.
As a result, Chen Shiyue became more and more introverted and quiet in the later period. It took the heroine a long time to make Chen Shiyue grow a mouth and express his feelings.
Wen Shuqiao took another sip of water. It was unlikely that Cancan would become a quiet child now. He was full of energy and spoke a lot every day.
Good words, bad words, say it when you are happy, and say it when you are unhappy.
She had been wondering how Cancan could grow up to be the hard-to-open-mouthed Shen Shiyue in the novel. Now she understood.
But she didn't understand. Shen Jiazhou could clearly express his own ideas now, so why was he just silent in the novel?
【I don’t like this kind of life. 】
Shen Jiazhou's previous words suddenly popped up again.
Yes, he didn't like the life in Shen's company and the Shen family, but for Cancan, he was willing to suppress his emotions, pave the way for him, and take care of everything that might hurt him.
Even though these are not what he likes, it doesn't matter, as long as he is as calm as possible, his emotional needs can be put aside.
So he will become more and more silent.
She thought again of what Shen Jiazhou had said to her that day.
Shen Jiachen came back from the airport because of him, and eventually died in a car accident.
The relationship between the two brothers has always been good. Shen Jiachen is a good person, and Shen Jiazhou is also a good person. Shen Jiazhou's abnormal behavior that night actually shows that he cares a lot about Shen Jiachen's death.
If you look at it this way, everything makes sense. The omnipotent uncle in Shen Shiyue's eyes in the novel has actually been in pain.
At the end of the novel, Shen Jiazhou left alone, away from all the troubles in life. Can the scars in his heart be healed by time?
The answer is obvious.
"Why are you staring at me?" Shen Jiazhou suddenly spoke, bringing Wen Shuqiao back to his senses.
Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses and said, "Nothing."
She retracted her gaze, and as she thought about it, her eyes unconsciously turned to him.
Wen Shuqiao coughed lightly: "I understand what you mean."
"Are you still angry?" Shen Jiazhou asked.
"I'm really not angry, I'm just a little helpless." Wen Shuqiao said: "Cancan is also your nephew. I know you did it for his own good, but Shen Jiazhou, Cancan is really a very sensitive child. Whether it's accidental or intentional, don't let it happen again in the future."
When he curled up in her arms like a wilted flower, Wen Shuqiao actually felt a little uncomfortable. Although she could understand Shen Jiazhou intellectually, she was still helpless emotionally.
Shen Jiazhou hummed: "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, let's end this meeting here, President Shen."
Shen Jiazhou curled his lips: "It's not a meeting."
But his mood was visibly better. He put down the cup and said, "It's getting late. I'll leave first."
Normally, he should have left after Cancan fell asleep, but today he was delayed for a while because of Cancan's affairs.
Both of them stood up from the sofa.
Wen Shuqiao escorted Shen Jiazhou to the gate. Shen Jiazhou took two steps, turned back and said, "Go in, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road." Wen Shuqiao leaned against the door, watching Shen Jiazhou's back as he took another step toward the elevator, and suddenly called him again: "Shen Jiazhou."
Shen Jiazhou stopped and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Wen Shuqiao asked: "Do you remember that we had a bet?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded. Of course he remembered that Wen Shuqiao had not decided what he wanted at that time, so he put it on hold.
He walked back, walked up to Wen Shuqiao and asked, "Have you thought of this?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "I thought of it, but it might be a little difficult."
Shen Jiazhou became interested. He crossed his arms, and even against the light one could clearly see his eager expression: "Hmm? I like challenges. Tell me, as long as it's not illegal, I can do it."
"You are quite principled." Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything weird."
"So, what did you think of?" Shen Jiazhou asked again: "Tell me, and I will think about how to complete it after you tell me."
Wen Shuqiao hummed, she looked straight into Shen Jiazhou's eyes, and then her eyes curved into crescents: "Shen Jiazhou, be happy."
Shen Jiazhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Huh? What?"
Wen Shuqiao also patiently replied: "I said, my bet is, Shen Jiazhou, be happy."
Shen Jiazhou was completely stunned, even the expression on his face froze.
What did she just say?
Her bet was just to hope that he could be... happier?
Wen Shuqiao continued: "You heard it right, Mr. Shen, it's a little difficult, but you have to complete it well. If you are happy, Cancan will be happy too."
Wen Shuqiao actually didn't take the bet seriously. It was just something she said casually at the time. She took advantage of the fact that she had spent a few more days with Cancan. Was that considered cheating?
Just now, when I was looking at Shen Jiazhou's back, I suddenly remembered it.
Since it was a bet with Shen Jiazhou, it would not be a bad idea to return the bet to him.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Okay, I'm done. Be careful on your way and send me a message when you get home."
Shen Jiazhou was like a rusty robot, he said "oh" in a stuttering tone, "I know."
As if he had set a program, he turned around and headed towards the elevator again.
There was a sound of a door closing behind him, which brought Shen Jiazhou back to his senses. He looked back and saw that the door that was open just now was now closed.
What did Wen Shuqiao say just now? Why could she say this so openly and generously?
Are they so close? Did Cancan learn how to say sweet words from her?
I didn't figure it out until I got in the car.
Shen Jiazhou was confused at the moment. Why did Wen Shuqiao say such a thing? !
*
In the bedroom, Cancan felt someone approaching him. He opened his eyes dazedly, and when he saw it was his aunt, he automatically rolled over, stuck to her arm, and asked softly, "Aunt?"
Wen Shuqiao touched his chubby face with his other hand: "Well, are you awake?"
Cancan closed his eyes tightly, fell into a sweet dream again, and stopped making any sound.
Wen Shuqiao tucked his quilt, then turned sideways to pick up her cell phone. As soon as she picked up the phone, it vibrated, and she opened it to take a look.
It was a message from Shen Jiazhou.
【Uncle Shen: We’re here.】
Wen Shuqiao replied with a good night emoticon, then set the alarm, turned off the lights, hugged Cancan in his arms, and fell asleep with him.
Shen Jiazhou, who had just entered the house, looked at the emoticon package for a long time before putting his phone on the coffee table.
I was really ready to go to the bedroom to take a shower and go to sleep, but after a few steps, I turned back, picked up the phone again, poked the screen a few times with my slender fingers, and sent a message.
【Good evening. 】
