When Xia Kening Ruan Zheng, she froze, momentarily unsure how to face her beloved homeroom teacher.
She knew that Ruan Zheng was Song Yunshen's aunt, and that Song Yunshen's uncle's family lived in the West District of Tangning New Residence.
She even knew very well that her second older sister was teaching Yingying, the homeroom teacher's daughter, during the summer vacation.
But she had no idea that Song Yunshen's uncle's family lived right across the street from Song Yunshen Shen's house!
If I had known this would happen, I should have hidden in the stairwell first.
No... even if I hide in the stairwell, it won't work. As soon as my phone alarm goes off, I'll definitely run out to open the door.
The only one to blame is Song Yunshen's uncle, whose timing was just too perfect.
Just as they were heading out for breakfast at 6:30, they caught Xia Kening red-handed.
" Teacher Ruan..." Xia Kening gave an awkward laugh and forced a greeting, "Good morning."
"Hmm, good morning." Ruan Zheng looked at Xia Kening with a strange expression, recalling that Song Yunshen had specifically asked about her, his student, during breakfast a while ago.
Unexpectedly, not long after all this time, Xia Kening was already coming to Song Yunshen's house early in the morning to see him!
Moreover, Xia Kening seemed to know the keypad code to Song Yunshen's house! Zhao Zeheng, standing nearby, clearly realized this as well, immediately sensing the gossip, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I remember Yunshen mentioning you, you're their tenant, right?"
"Um... yes." Xia Kening lowered her head and responded softly upon hearing the word "tenant."
"So why are you looking for him at this hour?" Ruan Zheng stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "And you even know their house password?"
"I... he's my friend," Xia Kening explained softly, her head still lowered. "He invited me over, but he said he couldn't get up in the morning and asked me to come and wake him up after I woke up."
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhao Zeheng and Ruan Zheng blinked, exchanged a glance, and both saw the surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.
"I see." Ruan Zheng nodded in understanding.
Among the students in the class, Xia Kening was one of the few she liked.
Even though she had once punched a boy in her class and made him cry, causing quite a stir, Ruan Zheng still admired her temper.
Since Xia Kening had said so, Ruan Zheng didn't doubt her. She nodded and said, "I understand. Since you're here to see Yunshen, you can go in first. We'll be going now."
Just then, the elevator arrived at the 18th floor, and Ruan Zheng turned around and stepped into the elevator with Zhao Zeheng.
After the elevator doors closed, Ruan Zheng pinched Zhao Zeheng's arm and said irritably, "Look at your nephew, is he having too much puberty hormones? Why has he started flirting with other girls lately? He's even going after my students."
"Hey, hey, you can't just say things like that! What if they really are just friends?" Zhao Zeheng quickly interrupted. "We can't jump to conclusions based on just the tip of the iceberg." "But we can't let a young girl come to our house alone so early in the morning," Ruan Zheng frowned. "If her parents find out, it'll look bad."
" Yunshen is still quite sensible. Since my sister passed away, he's become much more mature and stable," Zhao Zeheng sighed. "I don't need to worry about him doing anything outrageous; I trust him in that regard."
"So what do we say now?" Ruan Zheng asked again, "Didn't I tell you before?"
"The little girl who's teaching Yingying now is Yunshen's classmate, and they're very close."
" Yunshen always accompanies me to class every day. Anyone who didn't know better would think they're dating at our house every day."
"Ahem." Zhao Zeheng coughed twice, defending his nephew, "He was just showing kindness by saying that the girl's family was struggling financially."
Although he had personally witnessed Xia Yunuo riding on his nephew last time, he was too embarrassed to mention it to his wife.
Otherwise, it would really be adding fuel to the fire.
"Then you don't know," Ruan Zheng said as she stepped out of the elevator, " Xia Yunuo's mother is Xia Kening's mother; they are sisters!"
"Your precious nephew must be two-timing, especially with sisters!"
"If anything goes wrong and it affects Xia Kening, a promising student at Ningjiang Middle School, I'll be furious with you."
"Alright, alright, don't think about it so much." Zhao Zeheng patted his wife's shoulder as they walked forward. "I remember you said before that this student in your class named Xia Kening got third place in the whole school in the final exam." "What if she falls back down next semester?" Ruan Zheng said, "Then you'll settle the score with your nephew?"
"That's not impossible," Zhao Zeheng said righteously. "I'll help you beat him up!"
Ruan Zheng chuckled at his words: "You're so good with words. You even said you'd beat him up? You wouldn't actually do that."
"And you're one to talk!" Zhao Zeheng put his arm around his wife's shoulder, pulled her close, and teased her with a grin, "Don't you spoil him a lot too? You give him two thousand yuan in pocket money without a second thought."
"That's only because of you," Ruan Zheng said, though her words didn't reflect her true feelings.
Song Yunshen high school. He was very popular in class because of his handsome looks, good grades, and basketball skills. Ruan Zheng also liked him quite a bit.
Later, by sheer chance, Song Yunshen acted as a go-between, and his life became intertwined with Zhao Zeheng.
After giving birth to Yingying, Ruan Zheng's daughter also liked Song Yunshen very much. In addition, Song Yunshen was always sweet-talking and charming, so Ruan Zheng naturally cared for him a lot.
It's one thing to say it verbally, but if Zhao Zeheng really wanted to beat him up, Ruan Zheng would definitely be the first to disagree.
"They should be coming for breakfast soon, we can talk to them then," Zhao Zeheng said. "Let's eat slowly and check on their condition later."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Meanwhile, upstairs...
After watching the two enter the elevator, Xia Kening immediately patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and relaxed her previously stiff body.
Song Yunshen is really something, he never mentioned it to her before, it turns out his uncle and aunt live right across the street!
Xia Kening pouted, thinking that she absolutely had to ask him for compensation for emotional distress.
While thinking about it, Xia Kening changed into her orange slippers and quickly went into Song Yunshen's house. After closing the door, she quietly went to the door of Song Yunshen's bedroom.
She didn't knock, but cautiously approached the door, pressed her ear against it, and eavesdropped on what was happening inside.
There was no sound.
This indicates that Song Yunshen is still sleeping.
So she tried turning the doorknob again, and when she found that she could open the door, her face lit up with joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
They said they'd lock the door last night, but they didn't.
A two-faced scoundrel!
Xia Kening felt a secret thrill, a sense of excitement like that of a flower thief. She quietly opened the bedroom door a crack.
Peeking through the crack, Xia Kening quickly spotted Song Yunshen lying asleep on the bed.
Seeing that he hadn't been woken up yet, Xia Kening became even more careful, slowly opening the bedroom door and sneaking into the bedroom while suppressing a smile.
Song Yunshen was fast asleep, completely unaware that someone had broken into his bedroom.
Xia Kening made her way to Song Yunshen's bedside without any trouble. She peeked at his sleeping face and wanted to reach out and poke his cheek, but then she was afraid of waking him up too quickly, so she withdrew her hand.
She rolled her eyes, took out her phone, made sure the flash wasn't on, and then started snapping photos of Song Yunshen in quick succession.
Looking at the photos in the album with satisfaction, Xia Kening put away her phone, squatted down by the bed, and leaned closer to examine his face with curiosity.
So handsome...
Xia Kening sighed inwardly.
She had gradually gotten used to Song Yunshen's looks after seeing him for a while, but seeing Song Yunshen asleep for the first time made Xia Kening think that way again.
After watching for a while, she carefully raised her right hand, extended a finger, and gently touched Song Yunshen's nose.
Then, I slowly slid my fingers along the bridge of his nose to his forehead, and finally touched his eyebrows. His eyebrows are so thick!
Seeing that he was still asleep, Xia Kening ran her index finger over his eyebrows. She found the texture quite nice and couldn't help but touch them twice more.
What a lazy pig! He's still not awake.
Xia Kening withdrew her hand, stood up from the ground, sat on the chair next to her, and dragged herself to the bedside.
With her feet on the edge of the bed, Xia Kening rested her chin on her hands, looking at Song Yunshen, still wondering whether she should wake him up now.
She wanted to finish breakfast early and then come back to play games.
But I'm also a little reluctant to give up this peaceful moment.
I feel like I could watch it all day without getting tired of it.
But after thinking it over, she made a decision. Her eyes lit up with a new idea, and with a grin, she braced herself on the chair with both hands and lifted one foot up.
However, she didn't put it on immediately. Instead, she smelled it first and, finding it didn't smell, stretched out her leg.
The next second, Song Yunshen felt his face being poked a few times.
It was soft, yet had a silky feel. It was strange...
Song Yunshen frowned, as if he were having a dream.
He dreamed that he came to the lakeside and was fishing with his grandfather.
As he was fishing, a fish took the bait, but Song Yunshen couldn't pull the fishing rod. Instead, he was pulled into the lake by the fish.
The next moment, the world spun around him, and the lake water turned milky white, like milk, yet it wrapped around him like silk, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Song Yunshen opened his eyes and saw a pair of fair and tender feet wrapped in white silk dangling in front of his face.
Sometimes she would poke her own face with her toes, and sometimes she would slap his face with the soles of her feet.
Perhaps because I didn't walk much today, it didn't smell very strong.
Or rather, it has a faint silky scent, like a blend of the fresh fragrance of laundry detergent and the natural scent of one's body.
Because her view was obstructed, Xia Kening didn't even notice that Song Yunshen was awake. She was still wondering how this guy could sleep so much and still not wake up even in this state.
The next second, Song Yunshen raised his hands and grabbed her ankles.
"Ah!" Xia Kening was startled and struggled to sit up. "You woke up without saying a word!" Song Yunshen, pulled her onto the bed with force, and slapped her denim shorts impatiently. "I told you to wake me up, is this how you wake me up?"
"Ouch!" Xia Kening cried out again, falling sideways onto Song Yunshen's stomach. He rolled her over and made her lie face down on top of him, and she even got a slap on her little bottom.
Xia Kening's face flushed red instantly. She quickly climbed off Song Yunshen and retreated to the foot of the bed, pouting as she argued, "I called you just now, but you wouldn't wake up, so I had to try another method."
There were no security cameras in the bedroom, and Song Yunshen didn't know if this guy was telling the truth or not, but he certainly wouldn't believe her nonsense. "Why don't you just knock on the door?"
Even if you get in, can't you use your hands?
"You're even using your feet? Are you trying to make me stink?"
"It doesn't smell at all!" Xia Kening's cheeks flushed even more after hearing that, and she immediately picked up one of her feet and sniffed it. "Where does it smell?! Smell it again if you don't believe me! My stockings were just washed!"
Upon Song Yunshen's gaze fell on Xia Kening's small feet wrapped in white silk, and for a moment he was even a little tempted.
However, reason prevailed over his impulsive urge, preventing him from actually smelling it.
Song Yunshen rolled off the bed and then reached out to press Xia Kening's head down. "Aren't you getting off? Is my bed that comfortable?"
"It's all your fault for dragging me up here," Xia Kening muttered under her breath, swatting his hand away and moving from the bed to the edge. She put on her orange slippers and then stood up.
"I'll settle the score with you later." Song Yunshen tapped her forehead, took clothes and pants out of the closet, and glanced at the guy still in the bedroom. "What? You want to watch me change clothes?" "Oh." Xia Kening turned around, blushing slightly, and walked towards the door, not forgetting to taunt, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Heh, if you've got the guts, stay put and I'll let you see enough."
Upon hearing this, Xia Kening immediately slipped out of the room and slammed the door shut.
Leaning against the door, Xia Kening listened to the rustling sounds coming from inside. Recalling the scenes after the two previous soul swaps, she imagined the images in her mind, and her cheeks grew increasingly flushed.
