Xia Jinshu was feeling somewhat irritable.
She didn't know what was going on either.
She returned home in the evening with some snacks, shared some with her two younger sisters, and then went back to her bedroom.
Xia Kening had already taken a shower by then, Xia Yunuo got up to take a shower a little while later after receiving the snacks.
While doing her homework, Xia Jinshu would occasionally flip through Song Yunshen's diary to see if he had written anything new.
Before a new diary entry was available, Xia Yunuo finished showering and came out.
I washed my hair again.
However, Xia Yunuo didn't ask Xia Jinshu to blow-dry her hair. Instead, she went straight to the living room and asked Xia Kening to blow-dry her hair for her.
So Xia Jinshu got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After showering and drying my hair, I returned to the bedroom at 9:30 PM.
Flipping through the diary, Song Yunshen still hadn't written anything.
Xia Jinshu rubbed her temples, thinking that she usually finished writing around this time, so why hadn't she written it yet today?
Back when I was in school, I couldn't go home until after evening self-study, and it was fine if it was a little late.
Now that it's summer vacation, shouldn't I finish writing earlier and go to bed earlier?
Xia Jinshu felt she was becoming a little addicted...
She didn't even realize she was being spied on until one day she could no longer see it, and then she suddenly felt a surge of irritation.
It felt like some kind of withdrawal reaction.
Just like those people who play on their phones all day, no matter what they're doing, they can't help but reach out and glance at their phones.
Xia Jinshu is pretty much like that now.
I used to be able to do my homework in one go and rarely got distracted.
But now that she has the ability to peek into Song Yunshen's diary, Xia Jinshu can't help but glance at it every night when she sits at her desk doing her homework.
It was already 9:30 PM, and Song Yunshen's diary still hadn't been updated.
Although Xia Jinshu had encountered situations where Song Yunshen didn't write in his diary before, she wasn't very familiar with Song Yunshen at the time, so she didn't feel this strongly.
Now that she has spent more than a week with Song Yunshen and has gained a deeper understanding of him, reading his diary every night has gradually become a habit for Xia Jinshu.
It's like a strategy guide you can consult when playing a game.
Even when she wasn't with Song Yunshen, she could still tell what Song Yunshen was doing and what he was thinking.
During the time she spent with Song Yunshen, she was able to clearly understand what he was like on the surface and what he was thinking behind the scenes.
This approach gave Xia Jinshu a sense of ease, as if she could easily see through Song Yunshen.
This also made her, who was a first-time teacher, much less nervous and reserved.
As a result, she didn't see Song Yunshen's diary for a long time today, and she started to get a little anxious.
In her haste, she couldn't help but take out her phone and send a test message to Song Yunshen.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Are you asleep?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Not yet, what's wrong?
Still awake?
You're still awake, why aren't you writing in your diary!
Go write it now!
[ Xia Jinshu ]: It's nothing, I was just asking.
She didn't want to bother Song Yunshen too much, and after confirming that he was still awake, she just hoped that Song Yunshen would quickly go and write in his diary.
But the other party didn't seem to think that way, and instead sent another message.
[ Song Yunshen ]: People who say things like that usually have something on their mind. Teacher Xia, please just say what you want to say.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: It's nothing, I was just asking casually.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Teacher Xia, are you worried about my sleep problems? Don't worry, I'll definitely go to bed early and get up early.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Okay, that's good. I'm going to sleep soon too.
Sighing and rubbing her forehead, Xia Jinshu felt a little helpless, thinking, "Stop chatting and hurry up and write in your diary, okay?"
Song Yunshen had no idea what Xia Jinshu was thinking.
He lay in bed, his mind still wandering to thoughts of the future.
After chatting with his future ex-girlfriend, Xia Jinshu, who was suspected of being the other woman, he turned around and chatted with Xia Kening and Xia Yunuo, who were suspected of being his future wife.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What is Teacher Xia doing?
This time it wasn't Teacher Xia, but Little Teacher Xia.
After Xia Yunuo finished drying her hair, she returned to her upper bunk, wondering how to chat with Song Yunshen for a while, when unexpectedly, Song Yunshen delivered himself to her door.
Her face lit up with joy, and she immediately began to think about how to reply.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: We're not in class right now, why are you still calling me Teacher Xia?
[ Song Yunshen ]: This shows respect for you, otherwise we'd offend Teacher Xia. What if you weren't paying attention in class? What would happen to my Yingying?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I'm not that kind of person.
[ Song Yunshen ]: So you don't like me calling you Teacher Xia?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: It's not that I don't like it, it just feels weird to call you "teacher" even though we're classmates.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Understood, Xia.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Why do I feel like we've actually become more distant?
[ Song Yunshen ]: What should we do then?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I don't know either.

[ Song Yunshen ]: Xia, you don't know either? I think this question is quite simple.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Hmm? What do you mean?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Yunuo? Nuonuo? Xiao Nuo? How do you like me to call you?
Upon seeing the message from Song Yunshen, Xia Yunuo, who was lying on the bed hugging the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, blushed instantly, gripped the baby's head tightly, and her breathing became rapid.
This... this...
Can I just call her that?
If Song Yunshen called me that, could I...?
Yunshen?
Alas...
Xia Yunuo couldn't help but squirm on the bed, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing that she didn't reply for a while, Song Yunshen wasn't worried and immediately turned to chat with Xia Kening.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What are you doing, my dear daughter?
[ Xia Kening ]: I'm watching videos. Look, this is the one I forwarded to you.
[ Xia Kening ]: Who's your good daughter! Pui pui pui!
No, that's fine. Who knows, you might even be my wife someday.
With that thought in mind, Song Yunshen opened his Douyin private messages and glanced at the video that Xia Kening had forwarded to him.
Wow, Genshin Impact video.
Song Yunshen was speechless, thinking to himself that this child was beyond saving.
With a respectful attitude, Song Yunshen watched the video, but instead of opening the comments section, he replied directly to a private message.
Xia Kening sent the message immediately.
[ Xia Kening ]: How about it? Isn't it interesting?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Mm-hmm.
[ Xia Kening ]: Just going through the motions!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I've watched countless similar videos over the centuries, you're still too young.
Xia Kening is currently in the early stages of being a Genshin Impact player; she's interested in anything related to Genshin Impact. She'll know how painful it is when all the Primogems she's painstakingly saved up are lost.
[ Xia Kening ]: So what videos do you watch now? Share them with me.
[ Song Yunshen ]: No.
[ Xia Kening ]: Take a look! I've forwarded so many things to you before, but you've never forwarded any to me.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Are you sure?
[ Xia Kening ]: Confirmed!
[ Xia Kening ]: Now! Right now! What's the first video you see? Forward it to me!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Okay.
Song Yunshen reluctantly agreed, went to the video page, and forwarded the first video to her.
Xia Kening was speechless upon seeing this.
[ Xia Kening ]: Who is this? Hu Tao?
[ Song Yunshen ]: It's obvious.
[ Xia Kening ]: Try forwarding another one.
[ Song Yunshen ]: (Video)
[ Xia Kening ]: What?! It's again?!
[ Song Yunshen ]: (Video)
[ Song Yunshen ]: The third one is not.
[ Xia Kening ]: Isn't she still a beautiful woman?!
[ Song Yunshen ]: (Video)
[ Song Yunshen ]: Look at this one, this isn't it.
[ Xia Kening ]: It's a game, why is it a female streamer! Her voice is so... adulterated!
[ Song Yunshen ]: You asked me to forward this.
[ Xia Kening ]: Pah! You pervert!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm having bad luck today. Usually, I can find quite a few other videos.
[ Xia Kening ]: Hehe, Douyin has already seen through you, okay?
[ Song Yunshen ]: It's only natural. My cousin's Douyin) feed is full of guys with abs.
[ Xia Kening ]: I don't have any!
[ Song Yunshen ]: What do you know, you Little Brat? It's normal not to have it.
[ Xia Kening ]: I know perfectly well! There are biology classes in school, you know? Even though the teacher doesn't teach it, I've watched them all!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Hehe, that's it?
[ Xia Kening ]: You look down on me?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I won't talk to you about this, lest I corrupt you.
After chatting casually with Xia Kening for a while, news finally came from Xia Yunuo.
Song Yunshen went back to WeChat and opened it to take a look.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I'm fine with anything, just call me whatever you think sounds good.
Song Yunshen raised an eyebrow and began to think.
Calling her Yunuo doesn't sound quite right.
It seems that Xiao Nuo Xia Jinshu referred to Xia Yunuo?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Nuonuo.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Hmm.
Xia Yunuo buried herself in the pillow, only her eyes showing, looking at the message sent by Song Yunshen. She chuckled twice in the blanket and pressed her whole body against the head of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Teacher Nuonuo, please guide me from now on.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Why is there another teacher?!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Shall we have breakfast together tomorrow morning?
After teasing Xia Yunuo, Song Yunshen didn't continue the previous topic and directly asked about tomorrow's plans.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Mm.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Let's go to the usual place then. I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep now.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Oh, no problem.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: (Goodnight. jp)
[ Song Yunshen ]: (Goodnight. jp)
After sending a goodnight message, Song Yunshen approached Xia Kening again for another casual chat.
It wasn't until 10 p. m. that Song Yunshen yawned, said goodnight to Xia Kening, and went to bed.
Before going to sleep, in a daze, Song Yunshen felt as if he had forgotten something.
But because she couldn't remember, she eventually fell asleep.
July 14th, Monday morning at 7:00 AM.
Xia Yunuo woke up to the sound of an alarm clock. Lying on her side, her right hand, which was holding the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, groped around in the blankets for a while, pulled out her phone, and turned off the alarm.
After placing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy on the bedside table, Xia Yunuo stretched and rubbed her face to wake up. She then sat up and picked up her phone.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: (Good morning. jp)
There was no reply yet. Xia Yunuo was used to it and wasn't in a hurry. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, changing into a clean school uniform, and packing her schoolbag, Xia Yunuo opened her phone again, a smile immediately spreading across her face.
[ Song Yunshen ]: (Good morning. jp)
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I'm going out.
After replying to another message, Xia Yunuo walked out of the bedroom.
Xia Jinshu, still lying in bed, listened to her sister packing her things. She raised her hand to cover her eyes, rubbed them gently, and still felt very sleepy.
I'm probably going to have dark circles under my eyes today...
Xia Jinshu sighed, turned her head and opened the diary that had been on the bedside table all night. The latest page was still blank.
At this moment, outside the bedroom, Xia Yunuo left the bedroom and came to the living room. She glanced at her mother and younger sister who were still fast asleep, and quietly walked to the front door.
After changing my shoes, I pushed open the door and hurried towards the breakfast shop.
On the other side, Song Yunshen had just gotten up, yawning as he finished washing up. He also put on his school uniform, slung his backpack over his shoulder, went downstairs, rode his electric bike, and arrived at the breakfast shop around the same time.
"Hey, good morning." Song Yunshen waved, got off his electric scooter, walked up to Xia Yunuo, and greeted her.
Xia Yunuo responded with a "Good morning," but hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.
Following Song Yunshen, they entered the breakfast shop and ate breakfast together, just like last week.
Around 7:30, I got on my electric bike and headed towards Ningjiang Middle School.
Two days later, Xia Yunuo was overjoyed to finally sit on the back of Song Yunshen's electric scooter again. She held onto Song Yunshen's waist with both hands, even more tightly than before.
Song Yunshen could clearly feel that, before, the two little hands were simply holding on, but today they were using a little more force, almost like hugging.
When they reached the only speed bump on their way to school, both Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo were filled with anticipation.
The next second.
The electric scooter made a thud.
Amidst the jolts, Xia Yunuo instantly clung tightly to Song Yunshen's back, pressing her entire body against him.
Song Yunshen's spirits lifted.
Unfortunately, Xia Yunuo was still too shy; she only hugged the electric scooter briefly before letting go as soon as it stabilized.
However, the force with which she held her waist seemed to have increased slightly compared to before.
The electric scooter arrived safely at the entrance of the milk tea shop.
Hearing the noise, Song Jiayao, who was behind the counter, immediately peeked out and saw her younger brother bringing that girl to school again. A maternal smile immediately appeared on her face.
" Shenshen! Come here!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Song Yunshen led Xia Yunuo into the store and asked in confusion, "Sister, did you need something from me?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Of course," Song Yunshen said. "Just a cup of milk tea will do."
"No problem." Song Jiayao smiled and brought out two cups of milk tea, handing them to Song Yunshen.
Song Yunshen was taken aback. "You even prepared this in advance? You're that kind of person?"
"What's wrong? I'm still your older sister, I should at least treat you to two cups of milk tea." Song Jiayao said, raising her chin.
"Let's tell the truth," Song Yunshen said, clearly unconvinced. "If you were really that rich, you wouldn't be working here unless you surrendered to your aunt."
"Pah! I absolutely refuse to surrender!" Song Jiayao spat, then explained, "It's Sister Xuanxuan; she asked me to deliver this to you."
"Why would Sister Xuanxuan send me milk tea for no reason?" Song Yunshen asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's not just a gift for you," Song Jiayao said with a grin, beckoning to Xia Yunuo behind him, "What's your name, little sister? Come here, come here."
"Hello, sister." When Xia Yunuo heard Song Jiayao call her, she quickly moved to Song Yunshen's side, turned to look at him, and looked at him with a pleading expression.
"Her name is Xia Yunuo." Song Yunshen patted her shoulder. "You can just call her Xiao Nuo."
"Oh, hello Xiao Nuo, you can just call me Sister Yaoyao, just like this guy," Song Jiayao said with a smile. "This milk tea is on my sister, so don't be shy."
Xia Yunuo turned to look at Song Yunshen again, but did not reach out to take it immediately.
Seeing Song Yunshen nod at her, she hesitated before reaching out to take the milk tea, and whispered, "Thank you, Sister Yaoyao, thank you, Sister Xuanxuan."
"Mmm, so good~" Song Jiayao smiled happily, looking at Xia Yunuo, such a beautiful sister-in-law, and couldn't help but come out from behind the counter, put her arm around Xia Yunuo's shoulder and asked, "You're so cute, can we take a picture together?"
"Huh? This..." Xia Yunuo was a little at a loss, and looked at Song Yunshen.
"Stop bullying her, okay?" Song Yunshen said, speechless. "Why are you taking pictures?"
"I'm just taking one picture, why are you so concerned?" Song Jiayao said, then looked at Xia Yunuo, " Xiao Nuo, it'll be quick, I'll just take one."
Xia Yunuo continued to look at Song Yunshen, and seeing that he was only verbally complaining and did not intend to stop her, she nodded gently. "Okay, fine."
"Come on, look at the camera!" Song Jiayao happily put her arm around Xia Yunuo's shoulder, found a good angle, and took a picture with her phone. "Wow~ Xiao Nuo, you look so beautiful!"
" Sister Yaoyao is very pretty too."
Thank you~
Song Jiayao returned to the counter with a smile, sent the photo to Song Jiaxuan, and completed the task assigned by her older sister.
"Are you alright?" Song Yunshen asked, picking up his cup of milk tea. "If we're alright, we'll be going now."
"Go on, go on, focus on your class." Song Jiayao waved her hand, not trying to stop her.
So Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo each took a cup of milk tea and headed towards the school gate.
As it happened, they bumped into Xu Zhuoyue had just arrived at the school, right at the school gate.
"Hey, good morning." Song Yunshen raised his milk tea and greeted Xu Zhuoyue.
"Isn't this our young master Song?" Xu Zhuoyue chuckled upon seeing the two of them. "As expected of the young master, drinking milk tea so early in the morning."
"My sister gave it to me," Song Yunshen said.
"Why didn't you offer me a drink?" Xu Zhuoyue pouted. " Xia Yunuo can have one, but my good brother can't?"
"You asked my sister about that," Song Yunshen said. "She just praised Xia Yunuo for being pretty. Maybe it's because you're too ugly."
"You son of a bitch!" Xu Zhuoyue angrily grabbed the kid's neck, leaned close to his ear, and warned through gritted teeth, "I advise you to keep your mouth shut, or I'll tell Xia Yunuo about what happened that night!"
That night?
A lot has happened lately, and it took Song Yunshen a moment to process what Xu Zhuoyue was talking about.
It's just that Xia Kening Xu Lingcheng that day.
Ha, how naive.
"I have nothing to hide, so say what you want," Song Yunshen said calmly. "You're too naive to try and threaten me with something so trivial."
"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Zhuoyue was unsure when he saw his calm expression. "If Xia Yunuo finds out, she'll definitely be jealous."
"My relationships with them are completely innocent. Only someone with a filthy mind like you would see everything as filthy." Song Yunshen shook his head and sighed.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuoyue spat, feeling that there could never be such a shameless person in the world.
" Nuonuo, we'll go upstairs first, see you later." Song Yunshen Xia Yunuo beside him when they reached the top of the stairs.
When Xia Yunuo heard Song Yunshen Yun Shen call her that to her face for the first time, her cheeks flushed red. She only gave a soft "hmm" and hurriedly ran to her physics class.
Hearing the interaction between the two, Xu Zhuoyue leaned against the wall and vomited, " Nuonuo?! You still say you're innocent? How dare you say that!"
