Chapter 208 Love is freedom, not shackles
Cancan was pulled out of the bathtub by Shen Jiazhou and changed into clean clothes. With a look of unwillingness on her face, Cancan was lifted up and put down again by her uncle-in-law, preparing to put on soft and comfortable pajamas.
What he wore today was the new item his uncle bought for him. It didn’t have any cartoon characters on it, just a pair of light green pajamas. He looked like a little bamboo shoot when he put it on.
But as he put on his clothes, he said, "Uncle, I don't like this kind of pajamas. It doesn't look good."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at him and said, "Why doesn't he look good? He looks so mature and cute."
Cancan said: "I like what my aunt bought for me. I will wear that in the future, okay?"
Shen Jiazhou had already dressed him, and he said, "I'll do it next time."
Cancan nodded after getting the answer.
He sat in his uncle's arms, his feet were still wet, and he wanted to rub his uncle's body with malicious intent to let him know what a bad guy is!
But then he remembered what his aunt had taught him before, telling him not to do this, and he pursed his lips, looking very unconvinced.
After his uncle wiped his feet with a towel, he rubbed his uncle's suit trousers twice with the soles of his feet.
Shen Jiazhou patted his butt: "Who are you rubbing?"
Cancan said earnestly: "Uncle, you are an adult now, why do you want me to sleep with you?"
He was troubled all night!
Shen Jiazhou also said: "Baby, you are an adult now, why do you still need your aunt to sleep with you?"
Cancan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Shen Jiazhou said: "It's hard for Auntie to take care of you every day. You kick the quilt at night, and your sleeping posture is also messy. Auntie has to get up at night to see if you have slept well."
Cancan whispered, "I fell asleep! I don't know!"
"If Auntie doesn't sleep well at night, she won't have the energy to work during the day. Baby should also be considerate of Auntie, right?" Shen Jiazhou pinched his nose: "Also, you have grown up, and you always stick to Auntie. Auntie wants to go out for some fresh air and stay alone for a while, but there is nothing she can do."
"But I love my aunt, and my aunt loves me too!" Cancan was puzzled. He liked being with his aunt, and his aunt must like being with him too!
Shen Jiazhou carried him out of the bathroom and put him on the bed in the master bedroom. After thinking for a while, he squatted down and said seriously: "Love is freedom, not shackles. In order to take care of you, my aunt has no freedom at all. Every time she goes out, she has to think about coming back to take care of you quickly. In this way, she misses the sunrise in the morning, the sunset in the afternoon, and many other scenery she likes."
"Baby, uncle is not saying that aunt doesn't love you. Aunt and I love you very much, but we also have to have our own lives."
Cancan seemed to understand, but Shen Jiazhou sighed softly. He said, "I know you don't understand what your uncle is saying now, but Cancan, you really need to slowly become independent. When your aunt gets better, or when you... move away, you have to sleep alone."
Cancan raised her head: "Uncle, won't you sleep with me too?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "Uncle also needs to sleep by himself, but we can wait until you fall asleep before leaving, okay?"
"Then I, let me think about it again." Cancan muttered. He still didn't want to do it, but his uncle had explained it to him so seriously.
Shen Jiazhou touched his head and said, "My aunt has been sick these past two days. As a little man, you have to take good care of her when I'm not at home, okay? And you have to protect yourself and don't get sick."
Cancan nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jiazhou stood up: "Let's go, let aunt see your new pajamas."
Cancan shrank down from the bed, stepped on his cartoon shoes, and didn't even want Shen Jiazhou to hold his hand. He jumped out like a green rabbit.
Shen Jiazhou followed behind him and said helplessly: "Slow down."
Cancan pretended not to hear and quickly went to the living room. Wen Shuqiao had already finished washing up and was now sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of water and taking medicine.
Cancan walked up to her, put his hands in his pockets, and turned around without saying a word.
Wen Shuqiao swallowed the pill, coughed lightly, and praised: "It's really good-looking, as handsome as your uncle."
Shen Jiazhou walked out slowly, but just in time to hear what Wen Shuqiao said, he sighed softly: "Then I am still more handsome than the little carrot head."
Cancan snorted: "I'm handsome! My uncle is ugly!"
Shen Jiazhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked at Cancan standing in front of them, leaned back on the sofa, and then said, "I think you are in need of a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots."
Why is she so ugly? He didn't say Cancan was ugly!
Wen Shuqiao said helplessly: "What's there to argue about? They're both handsome."
Cancan sat down between them. He turned his head and said, "Aunt, are you sleepy? I'll watch you sleep, and then I'll go to uncle's room, okay?"
Wen Shuqiao raised her eyebrows slightly. He didn't even say he wanted to sleep with her. Why didn't he suddenly stop being clingy? She was still a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Shen Jiazhou who was sitting next to her: "What did you say to him?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "I didn't say anything, he figured it out on his own."
Cancan has already grabbed Wen Shuqiao's hand: "Come on, auntie, I'll sing you to sleep!"
Although he can't understand the storybook, he can sing! He sings beautifully! Lark!
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help rubbing his ears: "Forget it."
He was afraid that Wen Shuqiao would become more excited the more he listened.
Wen Shuqiao stood up and said, "No need, baby. You and uncle can go to sleep. I can just rest by myself."
This was considered a polite refusal of Cancan's suggestion to sing. Cancan raised her head and asked pitifully, "Really? Baby will sing Jasmine Flower for you. Grandma taught me."
"I was wondering when you learned how to do the Jasmine Flower." Shen Jiazhou followed helplessly behind him: "So you had a teacher to teach you."
Wen Shuqiao chuckled: "He learns everything quickly."
Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment and said, "I hope he can learn knowledge so quickly."
He has seen a lot of children's education recently. When everyone was helping each other with their homework, even the good kids became depressed.
He still needs to contact the tutor in advance. He and Wen Shuqiao can't be depressed!
In just a few steps, he walked to the children's room. Shen Jiazhou did not go in: "Come here early. I'm going to wash up."
His eyes were on Wen Shuqiao again: "Good night, go to bed early."
Wen Shuqiao hummed: "Good night."
When Shen Jiazhou left, he considerately left the door of the children's room half-open.
Cancan urged Wen Shuqiao to go to bed, and stood beside the bed, staring at Wen Shuqiao intently: "Auntie, go to bed!"
Wen Shuqiao said helplessly: "Baby, you can go back and rest. Auntie can sleep alone."
Cancan said: "Aunt, you won't be afraid when I'm here!"
But it must be hard to fall asleep when being stared at by those big eyes, right?
But she still lay down despite the gaze. Cancan tried her best to smooth her hair, pulled the quilt for her, and touched her face with her little hand: "Go to sleep, auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao hummed twice: "Good night, baby."
Cancan stood on tiptoe and kissed her heavily on the forehead: "Good night, auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. After he had slept for an unknown amount of time, he finally heard the lights turned off and the door made a slight sound.
She half opened her eyes furtively. The room was dark and Cancan had already left.
Wen Shuqiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned over in bed. He didn't know if it was because he had enough rest during the day due to the fever, but now he felt very energetic.
The other side of Cancan's bed is against a bay window. There is a small gap between the curtains, and light shines in from outside and falls obliquely on the bed.
Wen Shuqiao lay down again, his mind filled with the photo albums and texts he had seen in Wen Zhixia's house this afternoon.
Especially the last photo, she, like Wen Zhixia, was speechless.
But wasn't she an alien soul? Why did she faint? And this time she had a fever for no apparent reason. After she came to this world, her physical condition felt much better than in her previous life. This time, the fever came violently, and there was also the dream she had forgotten.
Her subconscious told her that the dream was very important, but she couldn't remember what she dreamed about.
Could it be related to this world?
Wen Shuqiao silently pulled the quilt over her head, and the small space was filled with the sound of her breathing.
Also, there are what Shen Jiazhou said.
Wen Shuqiao tossed and turned under the quilt, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, he poked his head out from under the quilt again.
I should just go to sleep…I really don’t know how to think anymore.
