After changing into a black casual outfit, Song Yunshen came out of the room.
Having heard footsteps beforehand, Xia Kening had already slipped into the living room, sat on the sofa, and peeked at Song Yunshen in the hallway. "How much longer are you going to be?"
"Five minutes." Song Yunshen said, then went into the bathroom across the street, washed up, and came out to the living room, where he looked at Xia Kening was lying on the sofa looking at her phone.
Only then did Song Yunshen have time to carefully examine Xia Kening's attire.
Just like the first time I saw her in casual clothes, she was still wearing a white tank top and a shawl cardigan.
But from this angle, because Xia Kening's head was resting on the armrest and her chest was slightly bent, Song Yunshen could even see the gap where the neckline of her suspenders was slightly open.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Kening heard his footsteps and, finding that he didn't speak, couldn't help but raise her head to look at him.
As a result, tilting her head back like that caused her chest to be pushed up by the slope.
The gap is no longer visible, but the curve suddenly resembles a crescent moon, full and upright.
Song Yunshen guiltily looked away, but was too embarrassed to meet Xia Kening's gaze, so he looked ahead, only to find his eyes falling on Xia Kening's stockings again.
He hadn't looked closely when they were in bed, but now he noticed that today's stockings seemed slightly different from the last ones, and couldn't help but ask, "What's that on your stockings?"
"Huh? This?" Xia Kening sat up straight, turned around, and showed it to Song Yunshen, chuckling, "Isn't it cute?" "Mmm..." Song Yunshen nodded, looked at it several times, resisted the urge to pinch it, and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Let's go, let's go have breakfast."
"Shall we go now?" Xia Kening asked hesitantly in a low voice.
When she swapped souls with Song Yunshen before, she had breakfast with his aunt and uncle while in Song Yunshen's body, so she knew she would definitely run into them at the breakfast shop now.
It would be somewhat awkward if we met again.
"You woke me up. Eat early so we can come back and play games sooner." Song Yunshen Shen asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking?"
"Um..." Xia Kening was a little embarrassed, tapping her two index fingers together in front of her chest, and muttered softly, "When I came into your house just now, your aunt and uncle saw me. They're probably having breakfast now."
"What?!" Song Yunshen was immediately shocked upon hearing this. "You didn't say anything strange, did you?"
If he were to spout nonsense again in front of Xu Zhuoyue and Xu Lingcheng like he did last time, Song Yunshen would be in a situation where he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Lan River.
"How could that be!" Xia Kening pouted. "I told you we're just friends. You invited me over this morning, you didn't say anything else."
"Oh, then what are you afraid of?" Song Yunshen felt a little relieved after hearing her say that. "Let's go. Hiding will only lead to misunderstandings."
He still has a lot of troublesome relationships to deal with in the future, including tangled ties with his ex-girlfriend and ex-wife.
Song Yunshen wasn't even really concerned about this small problem. "The main thing is I'm a little afraid of Teacher Ruan," Xia Kening said reluctantly as she got off the sofa. "She's my homeroom teacher, after all."
"You're third in the grade, what are you afraid of?" Song Yunshen chuckled. "If she dares to be mean to you, you'd better stand tall and show me your resolve! Your composure!"
"Song! Yun! Shen!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Kening immediately became agitated and chased after him, hitting him until her face turned red with anger, and she even lost one of her slippers.
Song Yunshen laughed heartily, running and shouting as he recited the speech that Xia Kening had written back then.
Xia Kening angrily swung her fists wildly, but Song Yunshen quickly pressed her head down, and no matter how much she swung her little fists, she couldn't hit him at all.
After the two of them bickered for a while, Song Yunshen finally let her punch him a few times to calm down before picking up the slipper that had flown off the ground and making her put it back on.
At that moment, Song Yunshen's phone vibrated.
[ Zhao Zeheng ]: Where are you two? What are you still doing up there? Hurry up and come down for breakfast!
[ Song Yunshen ]: You guys haven't finished eating yet?
[ Zhao Zeheng ]: We've finished eating, and we're waiting for you two to come down and chat. Hurry up.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What's there to talk about? [ Zhao Zeheng ]: Then I'll have your dad talk to you.
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'll be there in five minutes.
If his father mistakenly believes he has done something wrong and takes back his right to collect rent, Song Yunshen will be at a huge loss.
"Let's go, let's go." Song Yunshen waved to Xia Kening and opened the door. "Let's go have breakfast first."
"Oh." Xia Kening was a little out of breath as she followed Song Yunshen, changed her shoes, and entered the elevator.
The two quickly walked out of the residential area and arrived at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
As soon as we entered the store, we saw my uncle and aunt sitting at a table in the corner, waving to us.
Xia Kening followed behind Song Yunshen, and sat down next to him somewhat awkwardly, keeping her head down and avoiding eye contact with Ruan Zheng.
Song Yunshen, however, appeared completely open and honest, showing no sign of guilt. He sat down with an upright demeanor and introduced Zhao Zeheng, saying, "This is my disciple."
"What the heck?" Zhao Zeheng was just thinking about how to ask when he heard this kid say that, and he was immediately stunned. "What kind of apprentice are you taking on?"
" Genshin Impact," Song Yunshen said calmly, handing Xia Kening a bowl of minced meat noodles that had just been served. "Didn't you introduce me to the game? I only recently got her hooked. I called her over this morning because she wanted to play the game too."
"Why did you suddenly decide to play games with her?" Zhao Zeheng asked suspiciously, still feeling there were many suspicious points, and always feeling that this kid had ulterior motives. "It's because of that game-playing service you introduced me to before. He quit recently, and I had to find someone new," Song Yunshen said. " Xia Kening said she had time, so I asked her."
"Oh, I see." Zhao Zeheng said, suddenly understanding.
Ruan Zheng, standing to the side, frowned and glanced sideways at Zhao Zeheng: "That game you always buy figurines for?"
"Ahem... Honey, the game itself is actually..."
"Shut up," Ruan Zheng said irritably. " Xia Kening's next year is the most crucial time. Yunshen, what kind of games are you playing with her? How am I supposed to explain this to her mother later?"
Xia Kening's shoulders trembled, and she didn't dare to say anything. She could only bury her head and quietly eat her noodles, trying to minimize her presence.
Song Yunshen said calmly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I don't let her play too much. She can only play for a maximum of one hour a day, and only on weekends is it a little more relaxed."
"She also goes to the library to study regularly, so she doesn't fall behind in her studies."
"Don't you think so?"
After Song Yunshen finished speaking, he nudged Xia Kening's shoulder.
Xia Kening cursed Song Yunshen for asking her why, but she still nodded quickly and mumbled "Mmm."
Ruan Zheng was at her wits' end with them, clutching her forehead in a pained expression. [d][e][q][i][x][s][.][o][r][g]
As a homeroom teacher, she certainly didn't want her students to become addicted to games and have it affect their studies.
But she wasn't Xia Kening's parent, so she couldn't interfere with her free time during the summer vacation.
Ruan Zheng was worried that informing Xia Kening's mother directly would cause the child to rebel, which would be counterproductive.
If this leads to Xia Kening's rebellion and her grades plummet, that would be disastrous.
"Then you two should manage your time well," Ruan Zheng said helplessly. "But if you don't do well on the entrance exam, I really will have to tell your mother what happened."
Upon hearing this, Xia Kening's face immediately fell. She thought to herself, "I ranked third in the grade in the final exams, so what score do I need to get on the first exam of the semester to be considered good?"
"Ahem, don't worry, Auntie," Song Yunshen said confidently, "Getting into Ningjiang Middle School is definitely a sure thing."
Ruan Zheng had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, pulling Zhao Zeheng away with her.
Watching his uncle and aunt leave the breakfast shop, Song Yunshen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Xia Kening, who was standing next to him, also completely relaxed, feeling like she was about to collapse.
"I was so scared! I thought Teacher Ruan was really going to tell my mom." Xia Kening patted her chest, still shaken. "If my mom found out, I'd be in big trouble."
"What excuse are you using this time?" Song Yunshen glanced at her sideways. "Trying to turn my house into a library again?" "What else could it be?" Xia Kening snorted. "I've sacrificed so much to be your liver donor!"
"Then you shouldn't do it anymore, I'll find someone else," Song Yunshen chuckled.
"No, please!" Xia Kening quickly grabbed Song Yunshen's arm and pleaded, "Brother, I was wrong~"
Song Yunshen his eyes, then felt his phone vibrate again.
I took it out and saw that it was still a message from my uncle.
[ Zhao Zeheng ]: You need to tone it down. You already have Xia Yunuo, why are you still thinking about other girls?
[ Song Yunshen ]: It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm just making friends.
[ Zhao Zeheng ]: Anyway, you better watch out, don't let your dad come back from his trip and suddenly find out he's going to be a grandfather!
[ Song Yunshen ]: That's ridiculous!
[ Zhao Zeheng ]: You know in your heart whether it's an exaggeration or not. In short, don't mess around, or your aunt and I will really be angry.
[ Song Yunshen ]: I understand, I understand.
"Who are you chatting with?" Xia Kening asked curiously, leaning closer, thinking Song Yunshen was flirting with her second sister. But when she looked at the profile picture, it seemed not to be her.
Song Yunshen immediately covered the phone screen and flicked her head. "What are you looking at? This is my uncle."
"What did he say to you?" Xia Kening asked, blinking her big eyes.
"He told me not to get you pregnant," Song Yunshen said truthfully.
"Hey!" Xia Kening's face flushed red upon hearing this, and she involuntarily punched him. "What did you say!"
"You asked it yourself."
"Who wants to have your child! Ugh! Shameless! I'm calling the police!"
"If you're so capable, then don't come to my house later!"
"Oh, okay, I'll just say it..."
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to control yourself, after all, I'm so handsome, what if you...?"
"How can you be so narcissistic! I wouldn't even look at you!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat your noodles." "Hmph... give me one of those fried dumplings."
Open your mouth.
"Awoo~"
Don't you have hands?
"You let me open my mouth first!"
"You'll open your mouth when I tell you to, and you'll call me 'Dad' when I tell you to?"
"Pah! Pervert!"
After finishing their breakfast at the breakfast shop, the two left together and strolled back to Song Yunshen's house.
As soon as Xia Kening entered the room, she couldn't wait to rush into the study, turn on the computer, and start playing the game.
Song Yunshen followed leisurely behind her, took a can of ice-cold yogurt from the refrigerator for her, and grabbed a bottle of Mizone for himself before sitting down at the new computer.
Unlike Xia Kening, who simply completed the daily tasks after logging into the game before opening her English notebook and starting to memorize vocabulary, Xia Kening felt a little guilty seeing that he had been memorizing vocabulary for a week. She curled up, her feet propped on the chair, and couldn't help but ask, "You're not really going to get over 100 on the opening exam, are you?"
"Absolutely." Song Yunshen chuckled. "Don't worry, we'll prepare a cosplay outfit for you. Why don't you pick one from the posters over there?"
Xia Kening glanced at the character posters she had seen several times before, then turned back and grumbled, "I don't care, you pick them for me, just don't make them too outrageous."
"So you've already admitted defeat?" Song Yunshen teased. "Then why don't you just concede the other bet early too, and call me 'Dad' sooner rather than later?"
"Pah! You wish!" Xia Kening glared at him, then kicked him with her white over-the-knee sock. "You'd better wait and call me 'Mom'!"
"Do you look any like a mother? You're just a complete Little Brat."
"No way! I'm definitely mature enough, okay?" Xia Kening puffed out her chest, unconvinced.
Song Yunshen glanced at it, then suddenly retracted his previous statement, nodding in agreement. "Hmm, from a certain perspective, it does fit."
"Where are you looking?!" Xia Kening noticed his gaze, immediately clutched her chest, and pouted, "Pervert!"
The two bickered and teased each other, filling the study with constant laughter.
It wasn't until nearly 11 a. m. that Song Yunshen took out his phone and sent a message to Xia Yunuo.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Same as usual for lunch. When are you coming over? [ Xia Yunuo ]: I just came from the library. Can I come for lunch today too?
[ Song Yunshen ]: What else? My aunt's cooking isn't good?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: No, no! I just didn't go to school today, I thought...
[ Song Yunshen ]: Then just come over here. I'll be waiting for you at my aunt's house.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Okay, I'll tell my family.
"It's almost time to go home," Song Yunshen said to Xia Kening beside him after sending the message.
"Oh..." Xia Kening reluctantly exited the game, then glanced at her phone and found a new message in the family group chat.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Mom, Xiao Nuo said she's going out for lunch with her classmates. Remember to buy less food for lunch. @Yan Zhenxia
[ Yan Zhenxia ]: Understood.
Upon seeing the message, Xia Kening immediately snorted, feeling a pang of jealousy. She then said sarcastically to Song Yunshen, "Are some people so eager to get rid of me because they're waiting for Xia Yunuo to come looking for me?"
"Yes, yes." Song Yunshen didn't shy away from it and immediately admitted it, ruffling her hair haphazardly. "Since you guessed it, why don't you hurry up and slip away?"
Because of the previous body swap, Xia Kening knew that Xia Yunuo would be sending Yingying to tutoring classes, so Song Yunshen didn't think there was anything wrong with her guessing this. After all, if there was nothing else, Song Yunshen would definitely invite Xia Kening to stay for lunch.
But Xia Kening was annoyed by his self-righteousness. She pouted and slapped away his thieving hand.
Song Yunshen chuckled, not taking it to heart, and reached out to poke her puffed-up cheek. "Let's go, if you want to play, you can come back tonight."
"Can you come tonight too?"
"Sure, it's not like I'm stopping you from coming."
Xia Kening's mood brightened again. She temporarily put aside the matter of her second sister coming over and hummed a little tune, looking forward to the evening.
Seeing that she had stopped throwing a tantrum so quickly, Song Yunshen chuckled and shook his head, thinking to himself that Little Brat are so easy to coax.
He did want Xia Kening to stay for lunch, but when he thought about his future wife who was about to appear, Song Yunshen felt it was better to let Xia Kening go back.
Ever since he learned last night that Xia Yunuo was his future wife, he had been looking forward to meeting her today.
Although nothing has actually happened yet, the feeling is definitely different.
Even now, thinking about it again, Song Yunshen's gaze towards Xia Kening, who was changing her shoes at the door, became somewhat strange.
I feel like I'm having an affair... No, no!
Will future marriage certificates still be valid for our past selves from over a decade ago?
That's ridiculous!
Song Yunshen patted his face, feeling a little more awake. After seeing Xia Kening off, he took a deep breath.
I'm about to meet my future wife.
I was actually a little nervous.
