After taking a shower that evening, Xia Kening climbed into bed and played on her phone, scrolling through videos. Whenever she saw something funny, she would forward it to Song Yunshen.
Knowing that tomorrow was Saturday, she couldn't wait to send Song Yunshen a message, but she never received a reply.
Having known each other for so long, she wasn't in a hurry. She waited leisurely, already thinking about how to wake Song Yunshen from his bed tomorrow.
After waiting for quite a while, my phone finally vibrated.
Upon seeing the message from Song Yunshen, Xia Kening was immediately filled with confusion and great dissatisfaction.
[ Xia Kening ]: Why not tomorrow? What could you possibly have to do so early in the morning?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I have an appointment with someone, something comes up.
Others? What others?
Xia Kening narrowed her eyes, and seeing that he didn't say it explicitly, she sensed something was amiss.
If it were relatives or friends, they would definitely say it directly.
Therefore, they cannot be relatives or simply friends.
For example, if Xu Zhuoyue were to contact him, he would definitely prioritize spending time with himself over Xu Zhuoyue.
Xia Kening still had that much confidence in herself.
But now someone has actually managed to oust her.
Something's not right!
[ Xia Kening ]: Could it be that you made plans with Xia Yunuo?
Given the eldest sister's personality, it's highly unlikely to be her.
However, recently she has been making excuses to go out for walks at night, her whereabouts are suspicious, and the possibility of her doing something bad is increasing rapidly.
However, compared to her second sister, the second sister is indeed more suspicious!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Don't worry too much about the kids. Anyway, come play again tomorrow night, and you can come again the day after tomorrow morning.
[ Xia Kening ]: So if you don't answer, it means I hit the nail on the head! Why should I? I used to have all the weekend mornings to myself.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Hey, hey, hey, don't act like my time belongs to you. If you can come on a weekend morning, that's because I'm being very kind to you, okay?
[ Xia Kening ]: Pshaw! It's not like I care! Fine, I won't go!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I don't care? Then don't come the day after tomorrow morning either?
[ Xia Kening ]: Ugh, why are you like this! I'm angry!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Oh.
Song Yunshen didn't reply.
Xia Kening, sulking, didn't reply and turned to watch videos on Douyin.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Kening still hadn't heard from Song Yunshen, and she started to get anxious.
[ Xia Kening ]: Why aren't you saying anything?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Aren't you angry? Let's talk after you calm down.
[ Xia Kening ]: Ugh, you're so annoying!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Oh.
Xia Kening got angry as soon as she saw this.
She punched and kicked SpongeBob SquarePants in her arms, venting her frustration until she was panting heavily.
She beat SpongeBob SquarePants up as if he were Song Yunshen, and only after feeling much better did she continue replying.
[ Xia Kening ]: I'm not angry anymore! Talk to me now!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Wow? My good daughter's healing skills are amazing! She calmed down so quickly?
[ Xia Kening ]: You're just taking advantage of the fact that I can't do anything about you, what can I do?
[ Song Yunshen ]: How did I bully you? I clearly notified you in advance, but I didn't tell you at the last minute that you couldn't come.
[ Xia Kening ]: Okay, okay, then I admit I was wrong. I'll go again the day after tomorrow morning.
[ Song Yunshen ]: That can't be considered your fault. Actually, I had already made an appointment with her before, but I forgot to tell you. I should have notified you a few days earlier.
[ Xia Kening ]: So it really is Xia Yunuo?
[ Song Yunshen ]: She has to teach classes during the week, and even on weekends, she has to teach Yingying in the afternoon, so she takes her out to play in the morning.
[ Xia Kening ]: Someone is really kind-hearted, why don't you ever take me out to play?
[ Song Yunshen ]: That's not impossible, but you prefer playing games at my house, don't you?
[ Xia Kening ]: Going out once in a while isn't a bad thing.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Let's talk about it next time. I'm a bit busy this week. You should play games instead.
[ Xia Kening ]: Can't you take me out to play on Sunday?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm going to my maternal grandfather's house on Sunday afternoon. I won't go out in the morning because I'm too tired.
[ Xia Kening ]: Okay then.
At this point, Song Yunshen turned to Douyin to review the memorials and critique the videos that Xia Kening had forwarded.
He usually just glances at the forwarded messages from Xia Kening and then forgets about them. Occasionally, he might find them interesting and give them a like, but he rarely replies.
Today I was much more proactive; every video I posted got a response.
Xia Kening received a series of Douyin messages, and immediately let out a soft hum, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. Then she couldn't help but giggle foolishly, her toes swinging back and forth.
That scoundrel!
He was deliberately ignoring her just now, but now he's replying to her Douyin video. Does he really think I'd fall for that trick?
snort!
I'm going to leave you hanging for a while too!
One minute later.

Xia Kening couldn't wait to reply on Douyin, thinking that it should be almost done drying by now, right?
Xia Kening happily chatted with Song Yunshen on Douyin again, while still inwardly blaming her second sister.
It's all my second sister's fault!
She knew perfectly well that she would be going to Song Yunshen's house on the weekend morning, but she still specifically chose the morning to go out with Song Yunshen.
Their intentions are despicable!
Could it be that she's retaliating because I deliberately exposed her secrets in front of my older sister last time?
That's incredibly petty.
On weekdays, it's usually the second sister who hogs Song Yunshen's mornings, but now she's even taking over on weekends.
How greedy!
Xia Kening puffed out her cheeks, venting her anger on Xia Yunuo, having completely forgiven Song Yunshen.
10 PM.
Because he had to get up early the next day, Song Yunshen prepared to go to sleep after coaxing Xia Kening on Douyin.
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm not chatting anymore, I'm going to sleep.
[ Xia Kening ]: Okay, goodnight!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Good night.
July 19th, 6:00 AM.
Xia Kening woke up on time and instinctively tried to get out of bed.
But when she reached for her phone on the bedside table, she realized she couldn't go to Song Yunshen's house that morning.
Thinking of this, Xia Kening, who usually doesn't have much morning grumpiness, suddenly became grumpy. She kicked the blanket twice in a huff, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Before she could fall asleep, she heard a slight sound of the bedroom door opening.
Xia Kening's ears twitched, her eyes opened, then narrowed slightly.
The bedroom door opened and closed, followed by the bathroom door opening.
Xia Kening could guess with her toes that her second sister must have secretly gotten up.
It's only six o'clock...
Second sister, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're up so early too?
I've never seen you get up this early on a school day when you go to school with Song Yunshen!
Xia Kening glanced at her mother beside her, and seeing that Yan Zhenxia was still fast asleep, she quietly got out of bed.
I put on my slippers, walked around the large bed in the living room, and quietly headed towards the bathroom.
When she arrived at the bathroom door, Xia Kening didn't rush to open it. Instead, she secretly pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.
Then came the sound of a running tap; after it was turned off, the sound of brushing teeth filled the air.
After rinsing my mouth, I heard the sound of running water from the tap again, followed by the faint sound of washing my face with face wash. It was so quiet I could barely hear it.
Xia Kening pricked up her ears, and when the sound of the tap running again and then turning off, she heard the rustling sound of someone changing clothes.
At this moment, Xia Kening raised an eyebrow, reached out one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other, pretending to have just woken up, and pushed open the door to go inside.
"Ah!"
"Huh?"
Xia Yunuo, who was changing clothes inside, was startled. She had just put her pajamas aside when she heard the door open, and instinctively hugged her chest.
Xia Kening looked surprised, then casually walked past Xia Yunuo and sat down by the toilet.
"What are you doing?" Xia Yunuo said irritably, clutching her chest. "Couldn't you have come in later?"
"I need to pee." Xia Kening blinked, glancing at her second sister as she went to the toilet, and couldn't help but click her tongue, "Sis, why are you up so early today?"
"Mind your own business." Xia Yunuo didn't want to pay attention to her. After confirming that she didn't hear Song Yunshen's thoughts from Xia Kening, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly put on her bra and then her top.
At this moment, she looked at the long dress on the shelf and the white stockings partially covered by the dress, and her expression changed slightly. She then remembered that she had secretly taken this thing from the closet.
Xia Yunuo looked guilty and quickly covered her white stockings completely with her long skirt. She turned to Xia Kening and asked, "Are you done yet? If you are, hurry up and get out of here."
"What's the rush?" Xia Kening acted like she was hogging the toilet, not leaving even after she finished. "You can just change your clothes, it's not like you're in the way."
"I need to use the restroom too," Xia Yunuo said, making an excuse. "Hurry up."
Xia Kening looked suspicious, but after hearing what she said, she couldn't keep occupying the space, so she could only get up and move aside.
But seeing her second sister sit on the toilet, Xia Kening didn't rush to leave. She continued to ask, pretending to be serious, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Let's go to the library," Xia Yunuo said.
"Are you kidding me?" Xia Kening pouted. "The library doesn't open until eight in the morning, what's the point of you going now?"
"Hehe," Xia Yunuo retorted sarcastically, "Doesn't someone also go to the library early every weekend morning?"
"So you really were going to see Song Yunshen, huh?" Xia Kening bluntly stated, "I usually go to his place to earn extra money, so what's your purpose, sister?"
"Go study." Xia Yunuo said with a tense face, "I promised him I'd let him copy my summer homework. I'm almost done with my math homework, so I'll find some time to go to his house to do it together."
Who would believe that?
Xia Kening was speechless, feeling that her second sister was still trying to fool her like Little Brat.
Do I need to wear such nice clothes to do my homework?
Do you use a special facial cleanser to wash your face?
I bought this face wash a long time ago and haven't finished it yet. There are four women in my family, and we don't use it much.
I've been using it quite frequently lately, and it feels like it'll be used up very soon.
Xia Yunuo didn't care whether her sister believed her or not. After saying that, she quickly waved her hand and urged her, "You should go out now. Don't stay inside if you don't have to."
Xia Kening always felt that her second sister was very suspicious, as if she was hiding something from her.
Standing at the doorway, I looked around and then glanced up and saw a long dress on the shelf on the wall, with a pair of white stockings tucked underneath!
The shelf itself is openwork, usually used to hang towels and such, while the top can be used to put clothes for changing.
Xia Yunuo was a bit tall, and she was so focused on covering her stockings with her long skirt that she forgot that the openwork area below was also visible.
Given Xia Kening's height, from this angle, she could almost see this thing just by looking up.
But the moment Xia Kening saw the white stockings, she immediately looked away as if nothing had happened, pretending she hadn't seen anything, and walked out of the bathroom.
He even closed the door for his sister.
Watching her sister leave, Xia Yunuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got off the toilet.
She first moved the long skirt aside, reached out and took the white stockings off the rack, then carefully lowered her head and bent down, preparing to put them on.
She had just put on one shoe and was about to put on the other when the bathroom door was suddenly opened again!
Xia Kening poked her head in, a mischievous grin spreading across her face as she glanced at Xia Yunuo's stockings. She couldn't help but tease, "Huh? What's this? Sister, why are you wearing my stockings?"
Caught red-handed, Xia Yunuo's body stiffened instantly, her cheeks flushed, and she was completely dumbfounded, unsure whether to continue threading the white silk or what to do with it.
"You, you..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, '? Do I need to wear stockings to do homework with Song Yun Shen?'" Xia Kening tilted her head, which seemed to have two devil horns growing from it, and grinned, "What does this mean, sister? Do I need to wear stockings to do homework with Song Yunshen?"
"I... I..." Xia Yunuo stammered, unable to find a suitable excuse. Finally, she gritted her teeth and simply took off the white stockings she had just put on, shoving them, along with the one she was holding, into Xia Kening's hands. "I'm not wearing them anymore!"
After saying that, she picked up the long dress from the rack, pushed aside Xia Kening at the door, and fled back to the bedroom as if escaping.
Xia Kening blinked, not expecting her second sister's reaction to be so intense. She looked down at the white silk in her hand and scratched her head.
Song Yunshen, oh Song Yunshen, you can't blame me for this.
It was something my second sister didn't want to wear anymore.
snort!
The only person I'd ever show you white stockings is myself, it seems.
Xia Kening was in a good mood.
I only wanted to tease my second sister as punishment for taking up my time.
There was an unexpected bonus.
Clutching the white silk stockings in her hand, Xia Kening hummed a little tune as she returned to the bedside, tossed the stockings onto the bedside table, and began to plan how she could wear them when she went to Song Yunshen's house that evening.
My second sister wore one of them; I wonder if it smells bad.
Just then, Xia Yunuo came out of the bedroom again.
She changed into that long dress, carried her schoolbag, ignored Xia Kening on the bed, and walked straight towards the front door.
Hearing footsteps, Xia Kening propped herself up and peeked out. Seeing Xia Yunuo's smooth legs without white stockings, she nodded in satisfaction and went back to sleep.
Having successfully slipped out of the house, Xia Yunuo breathed a slight sigh of relief. She then took out her phone and glanced at the good morning emoji she had sent to Song Yunshen as soon as she woke up.
Song Yunshen did not reply; he was clearly still sleeping.
Xia Yunuo took the elevator to the first floor and walked briskly towards the West District of Tangning New Residence.
Within minutes, she arrived at Building 24 with practiced ease, walked up to the 18th floor, and stopped at the door of Room 1801.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yunuo first took out her own pair of navy blue slippers from the shoe cabinet.
After changing into slippers, she went to the door lock and tried to come up with her own unique password.
But just as she was about to enter her password, she inexplicably thought of her older sister and younger sister.
Thinking that her older sister and younger sister also came to Song Yunshen's house every day, and that they both arrived at Song Yunshen's house before her, Xia Yunuo pursed her lips.
For some inexplicable reason, instead of using her own birthday as the password to open the door, she tentatively entered "20070720".
"Guest password access is not enabled."
Celia's voice prompt sounded.
Permissions not enabled...
Xia Yunuo bit her lip, finally confirming the truth that her sister often came to Song Yunshen's house.
If it's just an occasional visit, why would I specifically grant my sister password access?
Sure enough, the girl being tutored by my sister was Song Yunshen.
Xia Yunuo pursed her lips and tried typing "20100418" again.
The door unlocked the next second.
Seeing the door slightly ajar, Xia Yunuo froze for a moment, feeling a strange sensation that her toy doll, which should have belonged to her alone, was now being held in her younger sister's arms.
Ningning would come to Song Yunshen's house early in the morning on weekends, so it's quite reasonable that she could use her birthday password to open the door.
But Xia Yunuo was still unhappy.
She sullenly closed the door and re-entered her password: "20090110".
Only when the front door opened again did she push it open and walk into Song Yunshen's house.
I'm not going to use my sister's password to open the door!
If you're going to use something, use your own!
Xia Yunuo stubbornly reopened the door, then carefully closed it after entering the house.
She looked around and secretly listened to the sounds coming from the direction of the bedroom.
After confirming that there was no sound from the other side, she didn't rush to the bedroom to knock on Song Yunshen's door and wake him up. Instead, she went to the sofa, put her backpack on her lap, unzipped it, and reached inside to feel around.
Soon, she took out a pair of white stockings from her schoolbag.
Xia Kening has two pairs of white stockings in total. One pair is the pure white stockings that Xia Yunuo took to the bathroom before, and the other pair is the one she is wearing now, with cute emojis printed on the knees.
She didn't originally want to wear these shoes because the emojis were indeed a bit childish.
Although she was very cute, she was a little shy.
However, after returning the white stockings to Xia Kening, this was the only option she had left.
Anyway, since she's wearing a long dress, Song Yunshen won't be able to see her facial expressions, so it shouldn't matter, right?
Xia Yunuo convinced herself of this, put her schoolbag aside, curled up one of the white stockings to the bottom, raised one foot, and put the stocking on.
White stockings ran up her smooth calves, gradually pulling the hem of her long skirt up until it reached halfway up her thighs.
Then came the other one.
Xia Yunuo's heart was pounding.
The thought of secretly wearing stockings in Song Yunshen's house made her cheeks burn with embarrassment. She kept listening for any sounds coming from the bedroom, afraid that Song Yunshen would suddenly wake up and see her like this as soon as he came out.
Fortunately, everything is normal.
After Xia Yunuo successfully put on the white stockings, she quickly stood up from the sofa. The long skirt, which had been pulled up all the way, instantly fell down, covering her thighs, knees, and a small part of her calves again.
Only her fair, delicate feet and ankles were visible.
Like two tempting ice creams.
She spun around in front of the television in the living room, her long dress billowing like a blooming flower, before stopping.
Looking at her reflection in the TV screen, Xia Yunuo confirmed that everything was alright and finally turned to look in the direction of Song Yunshen's bedroom. Her face was as red as an apple, and she finally took a step in that direction.
Arriving at Song Yunshen's room, Xia Yunuo a deep breath, a question surfacing in her mind—
Should I knock first, or just push the door open and go in?
