Although she had visited Song Yunshen's home twice before, this was the first time Xia Kening had entered his study.
Xia Kening followed behind, entered the study, and curiously peered inside.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a bookshelf against the right wall, while to the left is a piano covered by a curtain.
To the right of the bookcase is a solid wood desk over two meters long, where Song Mingyuan's computer is placed near the bookcase.
The empty space on the left is where Song Yunshen's new computer will be stored.
While stuffing the soft, chewy ice cream into his mouth, Song Yunshen pulled out the white ergonomic chair in front of the computer, gesturing for Xia Kening to sit down, and then sat down in the black chair next to it.
"Shall we start playing now?" After Xia Kening sat down, she felt that the chair was very comfortable. When she leaned back in the chair, it felt as if her whole back was being wrapped up.
Seeing her enjoying herself, Song Yunshen smiled and pressed a button next to the armrest.
The next moment, Xia Kening exclaimed in surprise, only to feel her spine being pushed up by the back of the chair, then slowly returning to its original position, and then repeating this back and forth.
"What did you do?!"
"Is it comfortable?"
"Hmm... that feels good." Xia Kening squinted her eyes, feeling the fatigue from playing badminton gradually dissipate. She leaned back in the chair, enjoying the massage.
"This chair has a built-in massage function; I like to use it when I've been sitting for a long time," Song Yunshen said, already turning on the main unit and reaching for the mouse on his right. "You rest for a bit; I'll get ready."
"Oh." Xia Kening moved her chair slightly to make room, then watched Song Yunshen click around on the computer while curiously looking around the study.
Then her gaze fell on the piano behind her. "Is this a piano?"
"Um."
You can play this too?
"I can't, but my mom can."
"Oh----" Xia Kening shrank back, realizing she had touched on a topic she shouldn't have, and immediately shut up.
Song Yunshen turned to look at her, and seeing her like this, he couldn't help but find it amusing. "Why don't you call me 'brother' again?"
"Are you doing this on purpose? ---" Xia Kening pouted, but fearing she had really offended him, she reluctantly muttered, "Brother~"
"Good boy." Song Yunshen felt very happy hearing that soft, sweet "brother." He quickly opened the screen recording software and then launched Genshin Impact. "Okay, put on your headphones."
"Oh." Xia Kening took the earphones and put them on her head, but they were a little loose.
Seeing this, Song Yunshen reached out and helped her adjust the tightness of the bra.
Feeling Song Yunshen's approaching presence, Xia Kening blushed slightly. When she turned to look at him, she accidentally glimpsed inside his clothes through the cuff of his raised short sleeve.
Although she had been touched all over while taking a bath, Xia Kening was still embarrassed to see Song Yunshen's body from her own perspective, and her cheeks turned as red as apples.
After Song Yunshen helped her adjust, Xia Kening immediately felt guilty and dared not look him in the eye, feeling that she was a little perverted.
Is this okay?
"Um--
"Look at the screen, register a new account using your phone."
"Oh." Xia Kening obediently followed Song Yunshen's instructions. After entering the game, she watched the opening cutscene with great curiosity, her eyes wide open. "Wow, it's so beautiful! Huh? Why isn't it moving?"
"Use the mouse to select a character as the main character," Song Yunshen reminded him. "There are subtitles below indicating who it is."
"Oh, okay." Xia Kening looked left and right, then glanced at the two protagonists' enemy, tapping the other's forehead with the mouse. "Can't we choose this one? I feel like she's stronger."
Song Yunshen: "----Look at the subtitles, it already says it's a choice between the twins."
"Okay." Xia Kening clicked on Sister Lumine, then clicked on Brother Aether, and after thinking for a moment, chose Sister Lumine again. "Is this for naming?"
"Yes, you can take it."
"Oh." Xia Kening typed " Doesn't Eat Lemons " on the keyboard with one finger and then pressed Enter.
"Why do you like this nickname so much?" Song Yunshen asked curiously.
"My name has the character for lemon (柠) in it, so guys used to often give me lemonade and stuff like that," Xia Kening said. "That's why I told them I don't like lemons and asked them not to give me any."
So you really don't like it?
"I love it." Xia Kening blinked. "The lemonade is pretty good, but I don't want the ones that are given to me."
"Wow, you're quite principled."
"That's right." Xia Kening proudly puffed out her chest.
After choosing a name, the game continued, Paimon's voice came through.
Xia Kening's attention was immediately drawn to the adorable little gadget that appeared on the screen. "Wow! This is so cute!"
"Yes, just follow her tutorial," Song Yunshen a smile.
If you like Paimon, then he's a good friend.
How do you control it?
"You really have never played games before."
"Why would I lie to you?" Xia Kening said. "I've only ever played those little games on Douyin, but a lot of them are scams, so I don't play them much anymore."
"That really makes you a complete newbie." Song Yunshen reached out, grabbed her left hand, and placed it on the keyboard. "Here, the middle finger controls W and S for forward and backward movement, the ring and index fingers control A and D for left and right movement, and the mouse controls the camera. Give it a try."
Suddenly feeling the warmth of Song Yunshen's hand, Xia Kening's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't even listen carefully.
After Song Yunshen finished speaking, she belatedly exclaimed, "Ah! You... you say it again?"
"You're daydreaming in class?"
"It's my first time playing," Xia Kening said a little nervously.
Song Yunshen was very patient and not in a hurry at all. He explained it to her again and taught her how to control the character step by step.
So Sister Lumine walked on the beach for more than ten minutes, then swam around in the sea, nearly drowning once from exhaustion, before finally unlocking the first teleportation anchor point.
Young people are quick-witted; although Xia Kening had never played computer games before, she quickly got the hang of it under Song Yunshen's guidance.
Following Paimon's guidance, we saw the distant scenery from the cliff and were captivated by the view, exclaiming "Wow!" all the way.
For a newbie who has never played any large-scale games before, it's perfectly normal to be amazed when playing Genshin Impact for the first time.
If you played more, things wouldn't be like this.
Xia Kening didn't follow the guide's movements completely, as she was frequently drawn to shiny objects by the roadside.
Sometimes, after being chased and screaming by Hilichurl, you feel a little guilty after killing them under Song Yunshen's guidance, but then you feel a different kind of guilt after opening the treasure chest.
After playing for two hours, until arriving in City of Mondstadt and acquiring her first new character, Xia Kening's first Genshin Impact journey finally came to an end.
"This was so much fun!" Xia Kening's face was still flushed with excitement. She took off her headphones, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh.
Song Yunshen had already exited the game and saved the two-hour screen recording.
Seeing this, Xia Kening asked curiously, "Did you record all of this?"
"Yes."
What are they trying to do?
"Try editing a video," Song Yunshen said. "Maybe you can earn back some of the 250 I gave you."
He also has a habit of posting videos on Douyin and Bilibili, but he just posts them casually, and the number of views is pitifully small.
It just so happened that Xia Kening was a cute newbie, which is why Song Yunshen suddenly thought of this and figured that recording it as a video would be quite interesting.
"But I need your permission first," Song Yunshen added. "If you don't want it posted online, I won't cut it."
"It's okay." Xia Kening was also eager to try after hearing him say that. "But will anyone actually watch it?"
"I don't know about that." Song Yunshen smiled. "Let's talk about it after it's been edited. I'm going to eat now."
"Okay, time to eat!"
It was already 11:30 a. m.
Song Yunshen led Xia Kening out of the house, hailed a taxi at the entrance of the residential area, and arrived at the entrance of Wanda Plaza in just a few minutes.
Xia Kening didn't say anything in the car, she kept fiddling with her phone. Song Yunshen didn't chat with her either, he also took out his phone and chatted with Xia Yunuo for a while.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Have you eaten?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Mom just got back and is about to cook dinner.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What time is the interview this afternoon?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I made an appointment with Teacher Song at 1:30 pm.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Good luck then, I'm going to eat now.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Mm-hmm.
Xia Yunuo, who was in high spirits after chatting with Song Yunshen, was about to go to the kitchen to help when her phone vibrated.
In the WeChat family group of four, Xia Kening sent a message. Upon opening it, she saw a picture taken in the library.
photo.
It seems she really did go to the library— Xia Yunuo thought to herself, and then felt relieved.
On the other side...
After getting out of the car, Song Yunshen asked curiously, "What were you doing just now?"
"Let Doubao generate a photo for me." Xia Kening blinked her big, innocent eyes. "I sent a photo from the library to my family to let them know."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunshen chuckled, "What a naughty kid! He can lie so easily."
"That's all because you led her astray," Xia Kening grumbled, following Song Yunshen into the Wanda Plaza. "So, what are we going to eat?"
"I already said I'd take you out for a big meal." Song Yunshen thought for a moment, then led her to the fourth floor, pointing to a self-service barbecue restaurant and saying, "How about this? Can we have barbecue today?"
"Sure." Xia Kening's mouth watered at the aroma of meat wafting from over there, but then she hesitated, "But isn't it a bit expensive?"
"This is what you got in exchange for using a proxy to grind," Song Yunshen said. "After you finish this meal, you'll have to help me complete my daily in-game tasks."
"Mission accomplished, sir!"
"Just call me brother."
"Brother, you're the best!"
By the third time, Xia Kening was getting more and more comfortable saying it.
Anyway, Song Yunshen Shen is two years older than her, so calling him "brother" isn't wrong.
