Let's go back to the morning.
Around seven o'clock in the morning, Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo woke up one after another.
After the two finished washing up, Yan Zhenxia, who was making breakfast right on time, came out of the kitchen with two bowls of dumplings, put them on the table, and called them to eat breakfast.
Xia Yunuo sat down at the table with her sister, turned her head to look at the large bed in the living room, and not seeing Xia Kening, asked alertly, "Mom, where's Ningning?"
"She went to the library." Yan Zhenxia smiled with satisfaction. "She left early this morning. This child has finally figured things out; no wonder she's third in the grade."
Although Yan Zhenxia was a little suspicious when she was first woken up, after all, leaving at six o'clock was too early.
But when Yan Zhenxia thought about Xia Kening's final exam results, she quickly felt relieved, thinking that this was the reason why Xia Kening was able to make a comeback in the final exams.
Without this hard work, how could I have possibly ranked third in the grade?
Xia Jinshu had once suspected her younger sister, but later found it was a misunderstanding, so she no longer doubted her. She smiled with relief along with Yan Zhenxia.
Xia Yunuo, the only one who had signed an alliance agreement with Xia Kening, immediately sensed something unusual.
So, while eating her dumplings with her head down, she casually asked, "What time did Ningning leave?"
"They went out before 6:30." "Were they wearing their school uniform?" Xia Yunuo asked again.
"Don't wear school uniforms during summer vacation, you two too," Yan Zhenxia said. " Ningning looks quite pretty today, in that tank top, cardigan, and shorts. I think she's even wearing the stockings Xiao Shu bought her last time."
"Oh, that one." Xia Jinshu recalled and couldn't help but smile. "I remember it was a dress I bought for Xiao Nuo, and the shop gave it to me as a free gift, but Xiao Nuo didn't want it."
Xia Yunuo kept a straight face, maintaining her aloof demeanor even at home. "Who wears those kinds of stockings?"
" Ningning wore it," Xia Jinshu said with a smile. "You're just shy, aren't you?"
"My sister wasn't wearing any either."
"I don't really like wearing stockings," Xia Jinshu shook her head. "They feel uncomfortable. It's better to go bare-legged."
Xia Yunuo remained silent, having already made her judgment.
Xia Kening must have gone to see Song Yunshen again!
What library? Who goes to the library at six in the morning?
The library doesn't open until 8 o'clock!
Even if you want to allow extra time, leaving at 7:30 should be about right. The thought of her younger sister going to see Song Yunshen again made Xia Yunuo purse her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She touched her phone, wanting to ask Song Yunshen, but was afraid of revealing her sisterly relationship with Xia Kening.
If you were to ask Xia Kening, that girl might just say something on purpose to annoy her.
After much deliberation, Xia Yunuo decided to give up.
" Xiao Nuo doesn't have class this morning, right?" Xia Jinshu asked, turning her head.
"Yeah, no classes this weekend."
"Shall we go to the school library later?"
"Oh."
Xia Yunuo in agreement. After breakfast, the two tidied up a bit and put on their school uniforms again for easy entry into the school.
After putting on his schoolbag, he told Yan Zhenxia and went out to walk towards Ningjiang Middle School.
I spent the morning studying in the library.
Around noon, the two sisters went home together. On the way, Xia Yunuo received WeChat from Song Yunshen. She immediately picked up her phone and peeked at her sister to make sure she wasn't looking at her before quietly replying.
After confirming that they were going to Song Yunshen's uncle's house for lunch, Xia Yunuo put away her phone, coughed, and said to Xia Jinshu, "Sister."
"Um?"
"My classmate invited me out for lunch," Xia Yunuo said, trying to keep a straight face and maintain a normal expression.
"Oh, male or female?"
"My female deskmate, Bai Feini." Xia Yunuo habitually used Bai Feini as an excuse, then thought for a moment and added, "And Kang Ping, the one who gets the best grades in our class."
I've been sitting next to Kang Ping in physics tutoring class lately. Although we don't really talk much during class, we just do our own thing and get along peacefully. We haven't even added each other on WeChat.
But that doesn't stop Xia Yunuo from using it to enhance the credibility of her lies.
But in reality, none of these little details mattered to Xia Jinshu.
After all, Xia Jinshu was constantly spying on Song Yunshen's diary, and she could see almost every day the entries about Xia Yunuo going to Song Yunshen's uncle's house for dinner.
Xia Yunuo thought she had kept it a secret, but in reality, both her older and younger sisters knew about her tutoring job all along.
Xia Jinshu didn't intend to expose her, and nodded with a smile, saying, "That's good, go out and play with your classmates more often, don't always stay at home alone." That's what she said, but Xia Jinshu still sincerely hoped that her younger sister wouldn't always be sticking to Song Yunshen all the time.
If you said you were going out to dinner with a female classmate, then at least one out of ten times you were actually serious!
As a result, from last weekend until now, Xia Yunuo has been recording lunch in Song Yunshen's diary every single day.
Xia Yunuo was unaware that her sister had seen through everything. Seeing that Xia Jinshu had no suspicions, she breathed a sigh of relief and then began to look forward to it, her steps becoming lighter.
On the way home, Xia Jinshu couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Weren't you going to eat? Why are you heading home?"
"I... I..." Xia Yunuo lowered her head a little embarrassedly and muttered softly, "It's not appropriate to eat with them in my school uniform. I'll go home and change first."
The past few days were all school days, and although the school did not prohibit students from wearing casual clothes to summer tutoring classes, Xia Yunuo still wore her school uniform to school every day.
There are quite a few people like her; many students are too lazy to change their clothes and still wear their school uniforms, which has little to do with whether they are poor or not.
Song Yunshen only wears it occasionally, and sometimes he doesn't, depending entirely on his mood.
Xia Yunuo originally planned to go directly to Song Yunshen's place for dinner.
But the thought of Xia Kening looking beautiful when she met Song Yunshen today made her competitive spirit surge up.
So after returning home, Xia Yunuo immediately went to her bedroom, opened her wardrobe, and began picking and choosing. Actually, there wasn't much to choose from, since she only had a few clothes.
Xia Yunuo bit her lip lightly, and finally chose a youthful, preppy-style sailor collar short-sleeved shirt, paired with a light blue floral print long skirt.
She took off her school uniform in her bedroom, changed into this outfit, turned around to make sure everything was alright, and then hurriedly went into the bathroom, picked up some face wash, and washed her face.
After washing, she carefully approached the mirror, one hand shielding the countertop to keep her clothes dry, while the other hand ran through her hair, checking her face for any blemishes.
If Song Yunshen saw this scene, he would definitely say it was unnecessary.
After all, given how exquisite Xia Yunuo's face is, it would be judged as AI-generated if posted online, so there's no need to worry about anything else.
Xia Yunuo looked in the mirror for a long time, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did she take two steps back and look at her whole body in the mirror.
She tugged at her skirt, looked in the mirror, then looked down at herself. Xia Yunuo's cheeks flushed slightly; she was a little embarrassed.
She hasn't worn casual clothes in far too long.
The last time I wore clothes other than my school uniform was during the Chinese New Year when I changed into my down jacket.
The time before that was last summer vacation.
The outfit she's wearing was bought back then. At the time, Xia Yunuo didn't want to buy a dress; she felt it would be better to buy simpler clothes like her sister.
But after trying on several outfits at the mall, everyone in the family agreed that this one suited Xia Yunuo best.
So in the end, I bought this outfit anyway.
It wasn't that Xia Yunuo disliked skirts, it's just that she was used to wearing school uniforms, and suddenly switching to skirts felt a bit strange.
It will take some time to get used to.
But what girl doesn't love to look beautiful?
After actually putting it on, Xia Yunuo looked at herself in the mirror, and the thought of possibly hearing Song Yunshen secretly praising her made her feel excited.
Just as she was fully prepared, came out of the bathroom, packed her lesson plan for Yingying in her schoolbag, and was about to leave, she heard the sound of the door opening at her front door.
"De" "Qi" "Xiao" "Shuo" "Net" "Shou" "Fa" "d""e""q""i""x""s"".""o""r""g"
Just then, Xia Yunuo walked to the door with her schoolbag on her back and bumped into Xia Kening had just returned home.
The two sisters were stunned when they met.
The next second, Xia Kening's eyes darted around nervously.
Xia Yunuo also subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You came back from the library?" Xia Yunuo asked sarcastically.
Xia Kening was too embarrassed to meet Xia Yunuo's gaze, blinking as she glanced towards the kitchen door to avoid her eyes, but she wasn't about to back down verbally. "Are you going to school, sister?"
Xia Kening deliberately emphasized the word "school".
Xia Yunuo naturally understood the implication in his words and snorted coldly, "It's a deal. I didn't expose you this morning, so you're not allowed to talk nonsense during lunch."
"Deal." Xia Kening responded in a low voice, like a secret agent making a rendezvous.
After the handover was completed, one of the sisters changed into slippers and went into the kitchen to help, while the other pushed open the door and hurriedly ran into the elevator.
