Xia Kening's sullenness didn't last long at all.
After playing games for a while, she quickly put those unhappy feelings behind her and started chattering and joking around with Song Yunshen again.
Compared to Xia Kening, who was constantly working hard to complete tasks and progress through the storyline, veteran players like Song Yunshen were more laid-back.
If you're bored, just wander around the map. If you trigger a quest, do it. If you don't have a quest, just look around, search for treasure chests, and pick up Oculus.
For someone like him who wants to complete the entire character collection, he will pull for every new character that comes out, but he never pulls for constellations or weapons. When he gets tired of exploring the map, he will specifically research some unconventional team compositions to play.
After playing for a while, I glanced at Xia Kening's cute little legs under her hot pants, and then looked at her chest peeking out from under her knees and thighs. I felt instantly refreshed.
Occasionally, I'd memorize a few words, have a drink, and eat some snacks—that's what makes life so pleasant.
By 8:30 p. m., the one-hour playtime was up, and Xia Kening had already turned off the game and stretched in her chair.
"If you're going to stretch, then stretch, but don't stick your stinky feet out this way." Song Yunshen slapped away Xia Kening's feet as she spun around in her chair, then sniffed his own hands. "Ugh, they smell awful just from touching them."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xia Kening immediately became agitated upon hearing this. She sat up abruptly halfway through her stretch and shifted her position.
The chair was brought close to Song Yunshen's face, and he grabbed his hand and inhaled deeply, "Where does it stink! It smells wonderful!"
"That's because I absorbed all the stench. What you smelled just now was the natural fragrance on my hands," Song Yunshen lied with a straight face. "It must have smelled wonderful."
"Pah! Shameless!" Xia Kening slapped the guy's hand away with a look of disgust, snorted, and stood up. "I'm going home."
"Hmm." Song Yunshen got up and walked her to her door, saying casually, "The data for the second video was just average. It's mainly because the first video was the most popular, and then it gradually faded into obscurity."
"So don't expect too much. Bilibili will probably only give you a few yuan or ten yuan."
"Things are a little better on Douyin, but not by much. We'll see if we can get a bigger share of the prize money from that event later. We distribute the profits once a month."
"Okay, that's good enough." Xia Kening nodded obediently. "How much can that be in a month?"
"If you work hard—" Song Yunshen estimated, "You could earn a hundred or two a month? You'd probably only get a little over a hundred yuan after taxes."
This amount of money was barely enough to fill a tooth gap for Song Yunshen, leaving him with little motivation.
But Xia Kening's eyes lit up, and she raised her hands and cheered, "Wow! A hundred? That's amazing!"
Seeing her reaction, Song Yunshen was clearly taken aback for a moment, then laughed and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.
Bag: "How about you keep all the profits? After all, you were the one who created the materials."
Thinking about Xia Kening's family background and seeing her reaction at this moment, Song Yunshen once again deeply felt the hardships of poor families.
It's only 100 yuan a month, yet he's this happy.
If giving her all the profits would make her happier, Song Yunshen would be happy to do so.
But upon hearing this, Xia Kening's happy smile immediately vanished, and she said with a straight face, "No! We agreed to split it in half."
"Besides, you did put in the effort; editing videos is tiring too."
"Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have come across this game."
Looking at Xia Kening's serious expression, Song Yunshen recalled the scene when he met her in the convenience store.
He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, then we'll split it in half."
After saying that, he changed the subject and asked curiously, "Are you still using that cup we bought together?"
Xia Kening blinked when he suddenly asked this, "Yes, I'm using it. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of it," Song Yunshen said.
But Xia Kening didn't think it was "nothing," and instead thought of the pair of cups the two of them had bought.
Those are couple's mugs!
Thinking of this, Xia Kening's face flushed slightly, and her voice softened a few decibels. "And you? That cup—"
"Oh, I put it in the bedroom," Song Yunshen said. "Didn't you see it when we swapped souls?"
"I think I vaguely remember it." Xia Kening recalled for a moment, because her attention had been focused on other things during the two previous soul swaps, and she hadn't really noticed what was on the table.
Judging from Song Yunshen's expression, does he not know that these two cups are couple cups?
Xia Kening thought to herself, a strange sense of smugness welling up inside her.
She didn't plan to tell Song Yunshen, lest he mind and refuse to use it.
"Then you'll come again tomorrow morning?" Song Yunshen asked again.
Tomorrow is the weekend, Song Yunshen doesn't need to go to school in the morning, so he still has some free time.
Xia Kening immediately nodded and chuckled, "I'll wake you up in a different way tomorrow."
"If you dare put your stinky feet on my face again, I'll spank you until your butt is bruised and battered." Song Yunshen poked her forehead with his index finger. "I'll lock the door when we go to sleep later."
"Tch, you stingy little thing." Xia Kening snorted. "What if we switch places tomorrow? Then you'll be begging me to open the door for you."
"It's been so long since the last swap, maybe we won't swap again," Song Yunshen said casually.
"It's better not to change," Xia Kening retorted stubbornly. "It's summer vacation now, and I'm staying at home. I'm worried you might lay a hand on my family."
Song Yunshen: "?"
"Am I sick? Why would I do something to your family?"
"You'd better remember this." Xia Kening pouted, knowing that once they swapped bodies during summer vacation, her relationship with her sisters would definitely be exposed.
But she didn't plan to tell Song Yunshen right now.
"Are you implying something?" Song Yunshen asked suspiciously. "Do you think I know your brother?"
"Guess~" Xia Kening hummed a little tune as she changed her shoes and pressed the elevator button. "I'm leaving now~"
"You haven't finished speaking, why are you leaving!" Song Yunshen Shen's curiosity was piqued. "Explain yourself clearly."
"Hehehe~" Xia Kening giggled and dodged Song Yunshen's large hand, slipping into the elevator. "Let's talk about it next time we switch places! I'll give you a super big surprise then! Just don't be scared."
"Heh." Song Yunshen sneered, "You think I'm easily scared? Even if your brother were Xu Zhuoyue, I wouldn't be surprised."
Xia Kening rolled her eyes, then, as if remembering something, suppressed a laugh and pressed the elevator button, "See you tomorrow!"
Song Yunshen waved his hand, watching the elevator doors close, wondering to himself what Xia Kening was up to.
The main problem was that he had preconceived notions and never considered the possible connection between the three girls.
Shaking his head at the door, Song Yunshen closed the door, returned to the bedroom, grabbed his pajamas, and took a shower.
When he returned to the bedroom, Song Yunshen sat down at his desk and, as usual, checked the Future Diary.
After confirming that the writing would take several more days to completely disappear, he carefully put the Future Diary away and took out his own diary.
It seems that if I want to manually set the date provided by the Future Diary, I have to wait about a week each time.
It has nothing to do with how close or far the chosen date is.
However, if the Future Diary is allowed to generate diary entries randomly, it will generally generate one entry every one to three days.
It's just not as effective as actively choosing the date yourself.
Often, the content is not very useful, and the information provided is also vague.
If every date were as sensational as a divorce, then Song Yunshen wouldn't need to actively choose the dates.
wrong.
Even if the content is always sensational, it won't work.
His little heart couldn't take it.
He can't be getting divorced every single day in the future, can he?
Song Yunshen shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts, opened his diary, thought for a moment, and began writing tonight's entry.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After Xia Kening returned home, she changed into slippers and walked into the living room, where she saw Yan Zhenxia sitting at the dining table with her laptop in front of her, typing away.
She curiously leaned over for a peek, but Yan Zhenxia quickly closed the notebook, preventing her from seeing it.
"Mom's working, don't mess around," Yan Zhenxia said somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm just taking a look, I won't bother you." Xia Kening pouted, genuinely curious about what her mother usually wrote.
But Yan Zhenxia hid it very well, giving her no chance whatsoever.
Xia Kening had no choice but to give up and turned to pounce on the bed.
As soon as she rolled over, her head bumped into something soft.
Xia Kening got up in confusion, turned her head to look at the head of the bed, and then noticed that there was a SpongeBob SquarePants doll on the bed.
"Huh?" Xia Kening reached out and picked up SpongeBob SquarePants, holding it in her arms and looking it over. Then she asked Yan Zhenxia, "Mom! Did you buy this?"
"Oh, this?" Yan Zhenxia smiled. " Xiao Shu brought it back; she said it was a gift for you."
What did my older sister bring back?
Xia Kening paused for a moment, then recalled that when she bumped into Xia Jinshu in the elevator earlier, Xia Jinshu did seem to be carrying something in her arms.
However, she was still sulking at the time, so she didn't look closely and realized it was just a doll.
She held SpongeBob SquarePants in her arms, pursed her lips, and felt a pang of guilt as she thought about her previous attitude towards Xia Jinshu.
But then she thought about it again and suddenly realized that the doll was obviously bought when she went out to eat with Song Yunshen.
Could it be a gift from Song Yunshen?!
Given my sister's personality, she would never willingly spend money to buy a doll!
Thinking of this, Xia Kening immediately stood up, walked to the bedroom door, knocked, and then pushed the door open and entered.
Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo were doing their homework when they heard Xia Kening come in and turned to look.
"Sister, did you give this to me?" Xia Kening asked Xia Jinshu.
"Yes," Xia Jinshu nodded gently, "We got them from the claw machine. We were lucky; we only tried twice and won both times. You and Xiao Nuo each got one."
"A claw machine?" Xia Kening raised an eyebrow, now completely certain that Song Yunshen who paid for it.
My sister wouldn't spend money to play the claw machine.
However, she was too lazy to expose Xia Jinshu's lie, and simply asked curiously, "Second sister has one too?"
"Yes." Xia Jinshu nodded with a smile, pointing to the headboard of Xia Yunuo's upper bunk, "There it is."
Xia Kening walked to the bedside, curiously peeked inside, and saw a green-haired turtle lying there. She immediately exclaimed, "How ugly!"
Xia Yunuo was immediately unhappy upon hearing this. "Anyway, it's for me, why are you looking at it?"
Xia Kening went to Song Yunshen's house again late at night, and Xia Yunuo hasn't settled the score with her yet.
I used to only go for an hour in the evening, but now on weekends I go not only in the evenings, but also in the mornings.
They might have even had breakfast together!
The thought that Song Yunshen, who usually ate breakfast with her on school days, would eat breakfast with his sister on weekends made Xia Yunuo feel a little uncomfortable.
Hearing Xia Kening describe her adorable turtle like that, she immediately became displeased. "He said he was going for a run late at night, but he didn't break a sweat. Did he go out fooling around?"
"You're the one fooling around!" Xia Kening's heart skipped a beat. Feeling a little guilty, she immediately retorted, "I'll go for a walk after my run. By the time I come back, I'll be all sweaty."
Xia Kening knew that her second sister was giving her a warning, so after explaining, she muttered to herself, "
"Oh, your little turtle is actually quite cute after looking at it for a while."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yunuo merely glanced at her expressionlessly before ignoring her and continuing to bury herself in her homework.
Xia Jinshu, standing to the side, simply found it amusing and shook her head helplessly, unaware of the subtle barbs and fierce rivalry between her two younger sisters.
Xia Kening carried SpongeBob SquarePants around the bedroom for a while, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, she went back to Xia Jinshu's side.
Xia Jinshu had originally wanted to check if Song Yunshen's diary had been updated.
Seeing his younger sister getting closer, he had no choice but to discreetly put the diary away so she wouldn't notice.
"What's wrong?" Xia Jinshu asked. "Are you going to do your homework together? I'll make room for you."
"No, no, no," Xia Kening quickly refused. "We agreed to rest this weekend. We can talk about homework at the library the day after tomorrow."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Nothing much, it's just that my sister gave me a gift, so I came to thank you," Xia Kening said with a grin.
Xia Jinshu was a little skeptical, feeling that Xia Kening's words had a hidden meaning.
"Where did you go for dinner tonight, sister?" Xia Kening asked casually.
" Wanda Plaza." Xia Jinshu originally wanted to choose a cheaper place to talk to, but after thinking about it, she decided not to lie to her sister in a place like that.
In short, as long as you don't say that you went out with Song Yunshen, it's fine.
"It must be expensive over there, right?" Xia Kening asked again.
"Hmm----" Xia Jinshu's voice lowered a little, "I'll get paid next month, right? I used to be too embarrassed to go when my classmates asked me out, but I thought about it this time and went anyway."
"Didn't you two have some classmates asking you to go out to dinner together recently?"
"Mom said her new job pays very well; with a base salary of four thousand, there's a good chance she'll get a bonus every month."
"I can earn 3,000 yuan a month during the summer vacation, which has made my family's finances much better."
"From now on, if classmates invite you out, you don't have to always think about saving money. It's okay to do it once or twice."
Xia Jinshu felt that her explanation was flawless.
On the one hand, the family's income has increased, and they are no longer as strapped for cash as before.
On the other hand, her two younger sisters have indeed been going out to eat with classmates recently, so it's not a problem for her, as the older sister, to occasionally go out with classmates.
But Xia Jinshu was unaware that her two younger sisters had already discovered that she hadn't gone out to eat with her classmates.
Xia Kening and Xia Yunuo had different expressions, neither of them intending to expose Xia Jinshu's lie to her face.
After all, neither of the two younger sisters knew that the other actually knew about their eldest sister's relationship with Song Yunshen.
Both of them had ulterior motives and didn't want the other to know more about the situation.
And so, a strange balance was achieved among the three sisters.
Xia Jinshu breathed a slight sigh of relief as she watched Xia Kening leave the bedroom.
She took out her diary again, stole a glance at Xia Yunuo who was still diligently doing her homework, and quietly opened the diary.
