7 PM.
On the sofa in the Song family's living room.
Xia Kening struggled desperately, like a small fish that had been caught and pulled ashore, thrashing about with all her might, but in the fisherman's hands, it was just a minor fuss, easily suppressed.
Song Yunshen wrapped one arm around her wrists and put her behind Xia Kening's waist.
With his other hand, he grabbed her ankles and gently lifted her up.
With one foot on the ground and the other leg raised, his knee gently rested on Xia Kening's thigh.
No matter how much Xia Kening struggled in this position, it was all in vain.
"Do you realize your mistake?" Song Yunshen chuckled.
Xia Kening knew she couldn't break free from the oppression on her own, so she collapsed onto the sofa, looking utterly hopeless.
But his voice remained strong and defiant. "You bastard!"
"When you insult me now, you're insulting yourself," Song Yunshen said. "Have you forgotten how you treated me this morning?"
"I didn't do that..." Xia Kening looked a little guilty upon hearing this, but still stubbornly insisted, "Besides, I only pressed down on you a few times this morning before letting go, okay? It didn't last that long at all!"
"Then admit your mistake, and I'll let you go," Song Yunshen a smile.
"I didn't do anything wrong," Xia Kening snorted. "You're forcing a confession!"
She didn't really mind being bullied by Song Yunshen like this; in fact, subconsciously she wanted to play a little longer, so she didn't want it to end so quickly.
Xia Kening herself was unaware of this, completely immersed in it, her heart pounding, her cheeks flushed, and she felt hot all over.
"Still being stubborn." Song Yunshen chuckled, then released her ankle, grabbed one of her feet with one hand, and gently tickled the sole of her foot a few times with his fingers.
"Ah! Hahahaha! No, no!" Xia Kening was extremely ticklish, and she instantly curled up like a shrimp, convulsing uncontrollably, pleading loudly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Stop tickling me!"
"You should have said that earlier." Song Yunshen finally released her feet and wrists, and his right leg, which had been pressing down on her thigh, also stepped back onto the ground.
Xia Kening, reborn, was still somewhat unsatisfied. Turning to Song Yunshen, she deliberately taunted, "You wait until next time we switch, then you'll be sorry!"
Upon hearing Song Yunshen raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, pressed down on her back, and placed his other hand under her armpit, gently tickling her.
"Hahahaha! No, no, no!"
Xia Kening laughed until tears streamed down her face, but Song Yunshen easily suppressed her once again, making her stomach cramp from laughing.
After she begged for mercy again, Song Yunshen finally let her go.
"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. I advise you to correct your attitude and recognize the difference in our strengths." Song Yunshen leaned down and pinched her already flushed cheeks.
Xia Kening was too tired to laugh anymore, so she lay on the sofa whimpering and letting him pinch her cheeks. "I want to drink yogurt."
"Take it yourself."
I'm out of energy.
Beg me.
"Brother~ could you help me carry this?"
"Calling him 'Dad' would be more appropriate."
"Don't even think about it! I will never yield!"
"Call me 'brother' again and I'll get it for you."
"Brother~"
"Ha, what happened to never yielding?"
"Calling me 'brother' doesn't mean I'm giving in." Xia Kening snorted, turned her head away, and stopped letting him pinch her cheek. "Hurry up and go."
Song Yunshen straightened up, walked towards the kitchen, and took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator.
Xia Kening remained lying on the sofa without moving. After regaining her strength, she turned her head and saw the yogurt, only pursing her lips.
"You really know how to enjoy yourself." Song Yunshen his eyes, helped her insert the straw, and held it to Xia Kening's lips.
Xia Kening chuckled, leaned forward, sucked on the yogurt twice, and took a big gulp. Then she rolled over on the sofa, swallowed all the yogurt, and let out a satisfied sigh.
Song Yunshen looked at her with amusement, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chubby cheeks, feeling that they felt better to the touch than Xia Yunuo's face.
He then placed the yogurt on the coffee table, got up, and headed towards the study. "Hurry up, you'll be home by eight."
"Okay." Xia Kening sat up from the sofa, peeked out and found the slippers that Song Yunshen had kicked away earlier. She hummed again, put them on, picked up the yogurt, and patted into the study.
"It's all your fault." She plopped down in front of the computer, opening the game as she complained, "You made me miss out on ten minutes of gameplay."
"It's all your own doing," Song Yunshen chuckled. "If you had admitted your mistake earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
"I was tortured into confessing by you, I didn't do anything wrong." Xia Kening raised her chin, still showing no remorse. "You just take advantage of the fact that you're a boy to bully me."
"You're pretty good, aren't you? You can even make other guys cry with one punch," Song Yunshen teased. "How come you can't beat me?"
"How dare you say that?" Xia Kening complained. "How can I fight someone so tall? Xu Lingcheng isn't even 1.7 meters tall, there's no way we can compete."
These words were somewhat hurtful, but Xu Lingcheng wasn't there, otherwise he probably would have been silenced again.
Song Yunshen is about 1.85 meters tall, which is more than a head taller Xia Kening.
When the two stood upright facing each other, Xia Kening's head couldn't even reach Song Yunshen's chin.
The gap is indeed exceptionally large.
Although Song Yunshen had previously thought she was quite short, he hadn't really noticed it much, since there were quite a few girls around 1.6 meters tall at school.
But after switching places with Xia Kening this morning and seeing his true form with his own eyes, he realized how important he was in Xia Kening's eyes.
However, you can't be soft-hearted when it's time to bully someone.
Xia Kening wasn't one to take a joke, especially given their current relationship. After playing games on the computer for a while, Xia Kening had already forgotten about the little incident from earlier.
Midway through the fight, Xia Kening got a little hungry, but because she was reluctant to leave her seat due to the plot, she would stretch out her feet and gently kick Song Yunshen's waist twice.
"What?"
I want to eat potato chips.
Don't you have hands and feet?
"Deqi Novel Network" Hand-typed Updates
"Brother~"
This is what I've been waiting for.
Song Yunshen felt better after hearing that, so he got up and went to get her a bag of potato chips.
Xia Kening happily unpacked the package, watching the story while eating potato chips. This was truly a comfortable life.
After finishing this part of the story, seeing that it was almost time, Xia Kening reluctantly logged out of her account and logged into Song Yunshen's account to continue studying Abyss team composition and output techniques.
After all, they are paid employees, so they should still have the proper work attitude.
At this point, the two started chatting.
"Judging from how we switched back as soon as we took a nap this afternoon, it seems the conditions for switching back after a soul swap shouldn't be too demanding," Song Yunshen said. "It should only require us to be asleep for a certain period of time."
"If that's really the case," Xia Kening thought for a moment, "If we switch again in the future, as long as we keep track of the time during nap time, we can switch back at noon?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but we don't have enough information right now, so I can't be 100% sure," Song Yunshen said thoughtfully, stroking his chin. "For example, distance? We were quite close together when we fell asleep this afternoon."
"This is so complicated." Xia Kening felt a headache coming on as she listened, and it was even more of a headache when she looked up team composition techniques.
"Let's talk about it again next time we exchange," Song Yunshen said. "We'll see if there are any other options then."
"It doesn't matter, I'll do whatever you say." Xia Kening felt it didn't matter what, since she wasn't really opposed to the idea of soul swapping anyway.
On the contrary, I found it quite interesting.
Especially after learning that Song Yunshen was very close to her two older sisters, she looked forward to the next time they would switch places, so that she could see from Song Yunshen's perspective the differences between her two sisters at home and when they were facing Song Yunshen.
Today, using Song Yunshen's body, I've already had contact with my second sister.
However, since she had expected it, Xia Kening was surprised, but not too shocked.
It can only be said that the second sister's reaction was unexpected yet reasonable; she was truly completely outmaneuvered by Song Yunshen.
But it was still a great pity that I couldn't see my eldest sister.
I wonder what kind of person the eldest sister is in front of Song Yunshen?
Surely they won't be as powerless as their second sister?
That's wonderful!
"However, there are some things I think we can discuss in advance," Song Yunshen said.
"Huh?" Xia Kening turned her head in confusion.
"Let's make three rules," Song Yunshen, holding up three fingers, "To agree on the precautions after the soul swap."
"So formal?" Xia Kening raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "I didn't even bring this up, but you did it yourself?"
"I'm the weirdo," Song Yunshen said irritably. "You're a girl, okay? How come you don't have any sense of crisis?"
"Doesn't that show I trust you?" Xia Kening scoffed.
The main reason is that Song Yunshen didn't really do anything bad to her, although he quite liked to do some lewd things and touched her all over.
But at least he didn't touch her without her knowledge; he at least informed her.
Especially when he was taking a shower, he did it while we were video chatting on WeChat, right in front of her.
I definitely didn't open my eyes to peek at the whole thing.
I did touch her, but I never actually saw her body.
She's probably desensitized; anyway, Xia Kening really doesn't care about these things anymore.
Even if Song Yunshen really did peek, so be it.
However, since Song Yunshen had said so, Xia Kening did have some things she didn't want Song Yunshen to do during the soul swap.
"My requirements are very simple," Song Yunshen thought for a moment, then said, "First, we absolutely cannot reveal that our souls have been swapped."
"Yes, definitely." Xia Kening nodded vigorously, indicating her agreement.
"Second," Song Yunshen extended a second finger, "During the soul swap, you can log into your own WeChat using the other person's phone, but you cannot view other content on the phone without permission."
"No problem," Xia Kening said, then rolled her eyes and tentatively asked, "Does someone have something they're ashamed of? Are they so afraid I'll see it?"
"Don't interrupt if you don't have a question." Song Yunshen glanced at her and continued, "Third."
"During the soul swap, you are not allowed to have any contact with other members of the opposite sex without permission. Any situation must be reported immediately, and you may only act after obtaining permission."
Upon hearing this, Xia Kening immediately raised her hand and said, "I have an objection!"
"Explain."
"Same-sex couples are not allowed either!"
"What's the meaning?"
"You can't touch my mother," Xia Kening said. "What if you use my body to take a bath with her?"
"Am I that kind of person?!" Song Yunshen said irritably.
"Who knows?" Xia Kening scoffed. "Anyway, this one has to be added."
Actually, Xia Kening said she was worried about her mother, but she was mainly worried about her two older sisters.
Although she switched back in the afternoon, her relationship with her two older sisters was not revealed to Song Yunshen.
But there's always a next time.
It was only a matter of time before it was exposed.
Therefore, Xia Kening patched the holes early to prevent Song Yunshen from taking advantage of her two older sisters later.
It's one thing to touch her body when you switch places, but you're not allowed to touch your own sister's body!
"Alright then," Song Yunshen reluctantly agreed.
It seems my plan to take a bath with Xia Yunuo or Xia Jinshu is going to fall through.
Could it be that Xia Kening had already guessed this in advance, which is why she took this precaution?
How stingy...
How can you have no spirit of sharing at all?
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?" Song Yunshen couldn't think of anything else for the moment, so he asked her.
"And another thing, did you forget?" Xia Kening reminded her, "If you want to date, you have to inform the other person in advance!"
"Oh, right, right, add this one too." Song Yunshen didn't want to suddenly have an extra boyfriend after the swap; that would be terrible.
However, Xia Kening is too young to be in a relationship.
Song Yunshen earnestly said, "This point can be added, but I still advise you to study hard and not let your mother down. The tuition at Shulan Middle School is not cheap, so you are not allowed to date."
"Of course I know, you don't need to tell me," Xia Kening scoffed. "I'm just reminding you."
"As the successor of the future of our motherland, of course I must study hard and make progress every day, striving for a good score in the college entrance examination," Song Yunshen said earnestly.
"When you said that, I felt like you were spouting lies, and it gave me goosebumps," Xia Kening said, squinting.
"So you don't trust me anymore." Song Yunshen. "I thought that with our current relationship, you would definitely trust me."
"It's precisely because we're such good friends now that I don't trust you," Xia Kening chuckled. "The more someone knows you, the more they understand what kind of person you really are."
"I don't like hearing that," Song Yunshen said, displeased. "I feel insulted. Apologize to me."
"Then why don't you stay away from Xia Yunuo?" Xia Kening snorted.
"She's my cousin's tutor, what can I do?"
"Wasn't that something you orchestrated behind the scenes?" Xia Kening said. "Besides, you didn't have to accompany her to class all the time, it's not like you're the one attending."
"I was just helping others, it's clearly a shining example of good character," Song Yunshen retorted. "As for accompanying her to class, that was for my dear cousin, not for Xia Yunuo."
"Heh, you're even more stubborn than me." Xia Kening was too lazy to argue with him anymore. "Anyway, if you're in a relationship, you have to tell me, it's that simple."
"Alright, alright," Song Yunshen agreed. "Anyway, I have nothing to hide."
The two chatted until eight o'clock in the evening.
Xia Kening reluctantly turned off her computer and stretched in her chair.
Song Yunshen got up and saw her off. After Xia Kening entered the elevator, he closed the door, returned to his study, took out his notebook, and began memorizing vocabulary words.
Thinking back to the idea that Xia Jinshu had suggested during dinner this evening, worried that he lacked motivation, he felt he couldn't let Teacher Xia think he was a bad student.
So he simply took out his phone, snapped a picture of the draft paper, and sent it to Xia Jinshu to indicate that he was studying diligently.
A few minutes later, my phone suddenly vibrated.
When Song Yunshen looked at it, he found that it was WeChat call from Xia Jinshu Shu.
He was taken aback, not expecting Xia Jinshu to call him directly. After a moment's hesitation, he answered the call and pressed speakerphone.
"Hello?" Song Yunshen asked tentatively.
He didn't call out to Teacher Xia, worried that Xia Yunuo was right next to Xia Jinshu, and if she heard them, they would be exposed.
But Xia Jinshu's first words dispelled his doubts. "I'm on the rooftop."
"Ah?"
"There are people at home, so it's not convenient to call," Xia Jinshu said. "Are you memorizing vocabulary words?"
"Yes." Song Yunshen smiled, and immediately called out as soon as he heard she wasn't home, "Isn't this so as not to let down Teacher Xia's hard work in nurturing me?"
"Then you can memorize it."
"Just like that?"
"Okay," Xia Jinshu said softly, "I'll keep an eye on things for a while."
Song Yunshen blinked, feeling that something was off.
But since the teacher had already spoken, he couldn't argue with her, so he started reciting from his notebook.
Xia Jinshu listened quietly, occasionally interjecting to suggest easier ways to memorize the words, sometimes adding a simple sentence or two to make it easier for Song Yunshen to understand and remember.
After memorizing for about half an hour, Song Yunshen had mastered all the words he had failed the quiz that day.
Xia Jinshu nodded in satisfaction and said to Song Yunshen, "Very good. Now that you've finished memorizing, I'll hang up now."
"Wait a minute," Song Yunshen said, " Teacher Xia should still be on the rooftop, right?"
"Yes."
"Don't go home yet, wait for me a moment." Footsteps could be heard from Song Yunshen's direction.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Jinshu hesitated for a moment, her heart beating slightly faster.
"You live in the East District, right? Which building? Come downstairs," Song Yunshen said. "I'm bringing you something."
"No need," Xia Jinshu politely declined.
"I've already left."
After saying that, Song Yunshen hung up the phone, not giving her a chance to refuse again.
Xia Jinshu looked at the WeChat call that had already been disconnected, feeling helpless, and had no choice but to take the elevator downstairs.
But fearing being seen by her family, she glanced at her own window, then quickly changed location and sent a WeChat to Song Yunshen.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: You come to Building 20.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Is this where you live?
[ Xia Jinshu ]: My home is in Building 17, and I'm afraid my family will see me. You can come to Building 20 instead.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What's there to be afraid of? Are you afraid your family will suspect you're dating Teacher Xia?
Xia Jinshu's cheeks flushed immediately upon hearing these words.
She bit her lip, thinking that if such offensive words came from another boy, she would probably have blocked him immediately.
But Song Yunshen is currently her tutoring student, and she hasn't received her salary yet, so she has no choice but to endure it.
Yes, that's right.
I was simply forced to endure it.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Enough with the talk, where are you?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Guess.
Xia Jinshu had just received the message when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder, which startled her.
Turning around abruptly, Xia Jinshu saw Song Yunshen standing behind her with a smile, holding a small bag in his hand, which he handed to her.
"This is..." Xia Jinshu reached out and took it, opened the bag, and looked inside.
"Just a little snack," Song Yunshen said. "Even though all the classes for today are over, Teacher Xia still took an extra half hour to help me memorize vocabulary. This is just a small gift, nothing more."
The bag contained a packet of instant noodles, a bag of Nut, a bag of potato chips, and a box of chocolates.
These are the snacks I took from his house last time... Xia Jinshu thought to herself.
These are all snacks that Xiao Nuo and Ningning love, so it's not bad.
"Thank you." Xia Jinshu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and thanked her softly. "Then I'll head back now?"
"Okay, goodbye, Teacher Xia." Song Yunshen didn't say much more, waved goodbye, and said, "See you tomorrow."
Xia Jinshu nodded, picked up the bag, turned around, then turned back to look at him, waving. "See you tomorrow."
