Chapter 413: The Illusory Person
Shen Jiazhou coaxed Cancan to sleep. He stretched his neck and walked out of the children's room with the cake.
Wen Shuqiao was no longer in the living room. He probably had gone back to the master bedroom.
He checked the doors and windows. The cake had been following him. When it saw him stop, it rubbed against his legs in a very sticky way.
Shen Jiazhou simply squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched its head.
Cake made whimpering sounds from its mouth and its tail was wagging rapidly. It looked so happy.
Shen Jiazhou chuckled and wanted to touch Cake's soft belly, but Cake just lay there and wouldn't let him touch it, so he had to give up and continued to stroke its back.
Niu Nai also meowed, walked over gracefully, and rubbed Shen Jiazhou's leg.
Shen Jiazhou chuckled and touched the milk instead.
The cake started to whine again, as if it was not happy with Shen Jiazhou touching the milk.
Shen Jiazhou stretched out his other hand and scratched its chin: "Why, are you still jealous, little stupid dog?"
The cake seemed to understand. It barked softly, opened its mouth, and gently bit Shen Jiazhou's finger, as if punishing him for scolding it.
"Tsk, he looks exactly like your young master." Shen Jiazhou couldn't bear to watch.
With such a temper, there is actually another pair at home. Why didn’t I notice it before?
Shen Jiazhou played with them for a while, then stood up and said, "Okay, it's late, it's time to go to bed. Cake, get up tomorrow morning and let's go for a run."
Cake lay there motionless, pretending not to hear.
Shen Jiazhou looked at its lazy appearance and raised his eyebrows slightly. He would have to have a good talk with Wen Shuqiao later, and then he would start training Cancan.
Look at the puppy he raised, it’s a replica of Cancan!
If the cake wasn't a puppy, Shen Jiazhou would have started to become suspicious.
Shen Jiazhou returned to the master bedroom. Wen Shuqiao was leaning against the head of the bed, staring at his phone in a daze.
He walked over and asked, "What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed."
Wen Shuqiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, then replied, "Is there anyone we missed?"
Shen Jiazhou got on the bed and leaned over to take a look at her screen.
She was taking notes. Basically, all the people around them, familiar and unfamiliar, had been checked.
"He can't be too far away from Cancan for too long. Aunt Zhang has also paid close attention to it these past two days, but it's not him."
Wen Shuqiao put down her phone and said, "It's really hard to find an illusory person without any clue."
Shen Jiazhou reached out his hand, forgetting what he was going to say, and held her hand that was hanging on the quilt: "There is still time."
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath, then slowly leaned over and placed her head on Shen Jiazhou's shoulder.
Shen Jiazhou grabbed her hand, lifted it up, placed it on his lips and kissed it. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Wen Shuqiao lowered his eyes and looked at the screen of his mobile phone, which was filled with the names of all the people who had been checked, but each of them was followed by an "×".
If not among these people, where else could it be?
Wen Shuqiao really couldn't figure it out. She even began to doubt whether the dream she had that night was just a nightmare.
But it is true that Cancan has a system in her mind, and her 10 million is also real.
And that crystal chain, what is the second reward?
Now that we have the money, what else can be used as a reward?
A house? She has one, too.
Shen Jiazhou sighed: "Okay, don't think too much, it's getting late, let's take a rest."
Although both of them had been trying hard to hold it in for the past two days and didn't show it on their faces, they were both very aware of the anxiety deep in each other's hearts.
He took Wen Shuqiao's cell phone away, hugged her and lay down together, then turned over and turned off the light, leaving the room in darkness.
"Your most important task now is to sleep." Shen Jiazhou whispered in her ear, "We will continue to work hard tomorrow."
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips and said nothing. Shen Jiazhou hugged her tightly. She raised her hands and hugged him back, saying softly, "I made a wish on my birthday."
"Hmm?" Shen Jiazhou asked, "What did you wish for?"
She never told him her birthday wish, and Shen Jiazhou didn't ask her about it later.
Wen Shuqiao just gave a wry smile. Her wish had always been very simple.
She is very satisfied with her current life and feels very happy.
"I hope that our family can live the rest of our lives in peace and happiness." Wen Shuqiao said softly, "I don't want any of us to suffer anymore."
Wen Shuqiao actually has always known that she is not a person who can integrate well. She came to this world and wandered alone in this world. Then she established a family connection with Cancan, and then met Shen Jiazhou.
In a new world, she built a different life.
Wen Shuqiao just wanted to live his new life like this.
She just couldn't understand why the system had to interfere even though she had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Even if there was another Shen Shiyue in this world, it wouldn’t matter.
Wen Shuqiao buried her face in Shen Jiazhou's arms. She took a deep breath and hugged Shen Jiazhou tightly.
"Your wish will definitely come true." Shen Jiazhou gently stroked her hair with his hands: "It will definitely come true."
The two of them didn't say anything, they just hugged each other.
Wen Shuqiao was thinking vaguely before he felt sleepy.
Is she missing something?
She always felt like she was missing something.
My brain was spinning rapidly, trying to catch some clues, but in the end I caught nothing.
The next day.
Wen Shuqiao got up very early, and Shen Jiazhou was still sleeping beside her.
She glanced at the time on the bedside table. It was not even seven o'clock yet. She closed her eyes, intending to take a nap for a while, but she could no longer fall asleep.
If I have something on my mind, I can't sleep for long.
Wen Shuqiao sighed, and finally carefully moved Shen Jiazhou's hand away from his waist. Just as he was about to stand up, his wrist was grabbed.
She looked back and saw Shen Jiazhou still had his eyes closed, but he asked vaguely, "Where are you going?"
Wen Shuqiao said, "I'll go check on the milk and cake. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Shen Jiazhou retracted his hand and continued to sleep.
Wen Shuqiao washed up quietly and left the bedroom.
Cake and Milk were still sleeping comfortably in their own nests, especially Cake, who was sleeping with his legs spread out, looking very comfortable.
Wen Shuqiao chuckled, and Shen Jiazhou also said that Cake is in a stable period now, and he didn't have such a bold attitude in the past.
She stood there with her cell phone in hand and took a picture, intending to show it to Shen Jiazhou and Cancan after they woke up.
