Chapter 171 People who sleep don’t speak
Ten o'clock at night.
Cancan stared at the ceiling with his round eyes, covered with his small blanket and a thin duvet on top. Two adults were sitting beside his bed.
Shen Jiazhou was still telling a story in his hand. He was almost done with the book, but Cancan didn't seem to be sleepy at all.
He heard the story stop and looked at his uncle in confusion: "Uncle, why don't you read anymore?"
The baby hasn’t heard enough!
Shen Jiazhou said: "It's ten o'clock. Wouldn't you usually fall asleep long ago?"
Cancan hid her face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "I can't sleep."
Wen Shuqiao was also puzzled. Could it be that she didn't sleep with him today? But usually, when she was not done with her work, Cancan would climb into bed by herself and fall asleep as soon as she lay down.
Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment and asked, "Did he drink milk tea this afternoon?"
"Drank it." Shen Jiazhou said: "... one cup."
This time it was Wen Shuqiao's turn to look at him and raise an eyebrow.
Shen Jiazhou said: "We ordered two cups first, and then he said that you didn't let him drink. But when the drinks were served, no one else drank them, so he drank them secretly..."
Shen Jiazhou felt that the more he spoke, the more empty he became. It was clearly Cancan's routine, so why was it his turn to lack confidence?
Wen Shuqiao sighed helplessly: "Then wait."
Cancan drank a whole cup of milk tea by herself. She couldn't fall asleep until at least eleven o'clock. The three of them just stared at each other. Finally, Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but said, "You still have to go to work tomorrow. Go and rest first. I'll stay with him tonight."
Before Shen Jiazhou could say anything, Cancan suddenly sat up from the bed and patted the empty pillow next to her: "Auntie, come quickly! The baby will sleep with you!"
Wen Shuqiao was about to get up, but Shen Jiazhou beside him got up faster. He stepped to the side of Cancan's bed, lifted the quilt and lay down.
Cancan looked at his uncle in confusion: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
My uncle is lying down, where should my aunt sleep?
Shen Jiazhou adjusted his position and said, "Shuqiao, good night. Please turn off the lights for us before you go out."
As he spoke, he stood up slightly, grabbed Cancan and pressed her against him, and held Cancan's shoulders tightly with his strong arms, letting Cancan stay close to him: "Come on, go to sleep, your uncle will accompany you tonight."
Cancan looked at his aunt standing beside him for help. He didn't want to! He didn't want to sleep with his uncle!
Wen Shuqiao also knew that Shen Jiazhou was determined today. She looked at Shen Jiazhou, who had already closed his eyes, and Cancan, who looked stubborn, and hesitated for a few seconds before comforting him, "Baby, your uncle will accompany you tonight, you should go to bed early."
Shen Jiazhou opened one eye: "Turn off the light, thank you."
Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to turn around and walk out step by step. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back. Cancan was still looking at her pitifully.
It's so pitiful.
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath and raised his hand to turn off the light.
The door closed, and Cancan knew that his wish to sleep with his aunt tonight was dashed. He was angry but dared not say anything, and leaned on his uncle's hard arm, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, because his aunt was about to agree to sleep with the baby!
Why does the bad uncle want to interfere?
Cancan kicked his uncle again secretly, he wanted to kick his uncle down!
But he didn't expect that as soon as he kicked forward, he felt that he was rolled up with the blanket and the treasure. When he reacted, he was already lying on his uncle.
Cancan:? What's going on!
Shen Jiazhou put one hand around his waist, holding him in place to prevent him from falling, and said coldly, "If you don't want to sleep on the bed, just sleep like this."
He just didn't believe that he couldn't cure this twisted pig, but it was indeed a bit heavy.
Cancan was shocked. Compared to his uncle's hard body, he still preferred sleeping on the soft bed. He silently shrank to the side, trying to shrink back down.
Originally, Shen Jiazhou just wanted to scare him, so when he saw him lying down on the bed obediently, he loosened his arm.
Cancan breathed a sigh of relief after lying on the bed, turned over and was angry for a while, but finally turned over and shrank back into his uncle's arms. He put one leg arrogantly on his uncle's leg and touched his uncle's ear with one hand accurately.
He asked, "Uncle, are you asleep?"
"Falling asleep." Shen Jiazhou said.
"You're lying." Cancan snorted, "People who are asleep don't talk."
"I was talking in my sleep." Shen Jiazhou answered fluently and hugged him: "Go to sleep."
In fact, he was not used to sleeping with someone in his arms like this, but when he thought that he was his nephew, he endured it.
Cancan uttered an "oh" and touched Shen Jiazhou's earlobe from time to time with his fingers, muttering, "Uncle, my aunt's ears are soft, and your ears are soft too."
"Thank you, your ears are soft too." Shen Jiazhou patted his butt: "Are you going to sleep or not?"
He regretted it. If he had known he would have thrown away the cup, he would not have turned a blind eye and let Cancan do it to him!

upstairs.
This seemed to be the first time that Wen Shuqiao lay on a bed alone after she came in. Usually, after she lay down, Cancan would lie beside her accurately as if he had turned on a locator, and sleep with his arm around her.
She opened her phone and checked the backend as usual. The agent sent her a few more properties. After making an appointment to view them, she turned off her phone and put it aside.
Wen Shuqiao pulled his quilt up to cover his head, and now he felt a little more at ease.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she started planning for tomorrow.
Shen Jiazhou said that Cancan's clothes would be delivered tomorrow morning, and asked her to choose some and wear them when she goes to meet Shen Jiachen on the weekend.
It didn’t take long to choose clothes. We made an appointment with the agent to go and see the house in the afternoon. Cancan could stay at home with his aunt to help look after him. If he wanted to go out with her, that was fine. After all, she had more time now and was not in a hurry.
After that, she would work part-time, make money, and...
【I wish you find yourself】
This sentence appeared in Wen Shuqiao's mind again like a brand.
Wen Shuqiao opened his eyes and poked his head out from under the quilt again.
Find yourself, these four simple words, yet so difficult.
Wen Shuqiao has never known who she is or what she wants since she was a child. She reassembles herself in difficult situations and breaks herself down in the process of reassembling, repeating the cycle over and over again.
She sighed in the darkness and wondered what was wrong with her today? Why was she in such a low mood?
The prerequisite for finding yourself is to survive.
No matter in her previous life or this life, she has to make money to survive first, so why think so much?
But there still seemed to be a rage in my heart that I hadn't let out.
Wen Shuqiao closed his eyes, turned over, closed his eyes, and buried his face between the soft pillow and quilt, leaving only his smooth forehead exposed.
I don’t know how long it took, the world became quiet, leaving only the long breathing sound.
Suddenly, a voice abruptly rang out from the phone.
【System connecting...】
[Host %#R@*…… not detected? ]
[System connection failed, the system is applying to connect to the host again - beep -]
[The system was attacked by an unknown consciousness and entered the search dormant mode again. Looking forward to meeting you... face to face... face to face...]
Wen Shuqiao opened his eyes drowsily. Three seconds later, unable to resist the sleepiness, he turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.
