The movie, which lasted over two hours, has ended.
When the movie's end credits rolled, Xia Yunuo reluctantly let go of Song Yunshen's arm, too embarrassed to continue hugging him.
Song Yunshen was also somewhat unsatisfied and confirmed a fact once again.
Xia Yunuo isn't flat-chested; she just has limited curves, so it's not usually noticeable.
They started watching the movie before 7 o'clock, and it was only 9 o'clock when they finished.
It was still early before Wanda Plaza opened, so Song Yunshen simply stood up with the fruit basket containing the grapes he hadn't finished eating and headed towards the study. "Let's play some games, we haven't finished the Fireboy and Watergirl in the Forest Temple game yet."
"Okay." Xia Yunuo readily agreed and eagerly followed them into the study, taking their Mizone with her.
Compared to Xia Kening, Xia Yunuo's talent in games is lacking. She struggles with games like Fireboy and Watergirl in the Forest Temple, often dying accidentally.
But Song Yunshen was very patient and never got angry because of Xia Yunuo's mistakes. Instead, he would patiently and cheerfully give her pointers.
When playing games with girls, winning or losing isn't that important.
That's exactly the process I'm looking for.
The two played Fireboy and Watergirl in the Forest Temple for over forty minutes, finally ending the game just before 10 a. m.
Song Yunshen stretched back in his chair, picked up the Mizone on the table, and took a sip.
Xia Yunuo, who was standing next to her, also reached for her own Mizone, but the next second, she froze.
Why does this bottle feel like it's not the one I just drank from?
She visually assessed the level of the drink, but she didn't recall ever reaching that height.
But...
Xia Yunuo glanced at Song Yunshen, who had already gulped down a whole bottle of liquor, and her cheeks flushed red. She stammered, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
[What should I do? It seems he drank my bottle!]
Xia Yunuo's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Upon hearing this thought, Song Yunshen, who was drinking a beverage, almost spat out his drink.
Fortunately, he managed to hold it in and pretended not to know anything, so Song Yunshen drank a couple more sips.
Hmm... it tastes a little sweeter than before...
Xia Yunuo's cheeks were already flushed red. Afraid that Song Yunshen notice something was amiss, she quickly got up from her chair and hurriedly slipped out of the study. "I... I'm going to the restroom!"
After saying that, she disappeared in a flash, disappearing into the bathroom and locking the door.
Song Yunshen blinked, then chuckled, and looked down at the Mizone in his hand, thinking that he had made a mistake, but she wasn't angry at all.
What about my own bottle?
Song Yunshen glanced at the table and was momentarily stunned when he didn't see the bottle of Mizone that originally belonged to him.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Xia Yunuo, pretending to use the toilet, looked at the Mizone in her hand and unconsciously swallowed.
She didn't know what she was thinking; by the time she came to her senses, the cap of the Mizone had already been unscrewed.
The bottle was already brought to his lips.
Before she could regain her composure, Xia Yunuo her head back and took a large gulp.
Hmm...
Her lips were bulging as she savored the Mizone while glancing at the "sugar-free" label on the bottle.
It's clearly sugar-free...
Why is it still so sweet?
A few minutes later, Xia Yunuo came out of the bathroom with Mizone in her hand, trying to keep her face natural, and casually threw the empty bottle into the trash can in the living room.
Pretend nothing happened.
Song Yunshen watched this scene and fell into deep thought for a long time.
"Let's go." Xia Yunuo thought her perverted behavior hadn't been discovered yet. After successfully disposing of the stolen goods, she said to Song Yunshen.
"Hmm." Song Yunshen didn't say anything more, grabbed the keys to the electric scooter, and went out with her downstairs.
The two arrived at the bike shed downstairs. Xia Yunuo put on her helmet with practiced ease, sat on the back of Song Yunshen's bike, and obediently reached out to hold him by the waist.
Perhaps because they had been hugging for too long while watching the movie, Xia Yunuo now held Song Yunshen 'Song Yunshen hands on both sides, moving even closer to his stomach than before.
In this way, Xia Yunuo was even closer to Song Yunshen's back than before.
Although it's not completely attached yet, it's very, very close.
If it were Xia Kening, her chest would probably be pressed directly against Song Yunshen's back.
However, Song Yunshen couldn't ask for too much. After Xia Yunuo helped him steady, he started the electric car and drove towards Wanda Plaza.
Tangning New Residence is not far from Wanda Plaza, about three blocks away, and it is only two blocks away from Ningjiang Middle School.
Therefore, it's reasonable that two more speed bumps were added.
Song Yunshen was carried by Xia Yunuo three times along the way. When they arrived at the entrance of Wanda Plaza, Song Yunshen coughed and said to Xia Yunuo, "Get down first and wait for me here. I'll go park the car over there."
"We can go together."
"The sun is too strong, go wait for me at the door," Song Yunshen said. "Be good, be a good girl."
"Okay." Xia Yunuo obediently listened, got off the car and returned the helmet to Song Yunshen, then walked towards the entrance of Wanda Plaza, glancing back at Song Yunshen from time to time to see where he had driven.
Song Yunshen hurriedly found an empty spot, parked his electric scooter, and only after feeling more and more comfortable did he get up and walk towards the entrance of Wanda Plaza.
He quickly approached the door, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Yunuo not far away.
At this moment, a boy was standing in front of Xia Yunuo. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses, slightly chubby, and nervously took out his phone, saying something.
It seems like they came over to chat and ask for my WeChat.
Song Yunshen was displeased, so he immediately stepped forward and, in front of the boy, took the initiative to put his arm around Xia Yunuo's shoulder and half-pull her into his arms.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Song Yunshen smiled at the boy and asked calmly.

When the boy saw Song Yunshen, his eyes widened in surprise at first, then lit up, and he quickly said, "Y-you! I'm currently doing a summer internship, and my teacher requires us to sell at least one hundred ballpoint pens. Could you help me? Just...
Song Yunshen: "???"
Holy crap!
Turns out it's a shop selling things!
Why didn't you say so sooner!
Song Yunshen looked embarrassed, his right arm still around Xia Yunuo's shoulder, unsure whether to loosen his grip or not.
I initially thought it was a classic case of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, but it turns out I was mistaken.
Seriously... if you're selling pens, at least show the pens!
Where's the pen?!
Song Yunshen felt annoyed, waved his hand speechlessly, and said "No, no" before quickly leaving with Xia Yunuo in his arms.
The boy looked disappointed. He had finally found a girl who looked quite young and easy to fool, but he couldn't sell her. He had no choice but to continue looking for the next target.
Xia Yunuo was held in Song Yunshen's arms until they reached the escalator and Song Yunshen released her. Only then did she come to her senses, her cheeks flushed like a small tomato. She lowered her head and asked softly, "You... what were you doing just now...?"
"Ahem... don't misunderstand." Song Yunshen scratched his nose awkwardly, turning his head to look to the side. "I thought you were being harassed, so I thought I'd pretend... um... but I was wrong, sorry."
Xia Yunuo blinked before realizing what Song Yunshen meant.
She was completely stunned; she hadn't expected Song Yunshen to suddenly hug her, and her head was spinning.
I only came to my senses when I got on the escalator just now.
So this is all it turned out to be...
I thought... I thought...
but...
"Even if it really was a flirtation, I don't think I agreed to you pretending to be my boyfriend, did I?" Xia Yunuo blinked and suddenly said deliberately.
"So you're saying you disagree?" Song Yunshen smiled and pinched her cheek. "If you say that, I'll be very sad."
Seeing that he was completely unfazed, Xia Yunuo immediately realized that her tactic was ineffective. Feeling deflated, she pouted and said, "Fine, I didn't say I disagreed."
"So, do you agree or not?" Song Yunshen pressed her head down, turned her towards him, and stared at her intently.
Now it was Xia Yunuo's turn to panic. Her eyes darted left and right, avoiding his gaze, and she muttered softly, "I... I... but you've already done it, so there's no point in me disagreeing."
I was too embarrassed to answer the question directly.
Song Yunshen didn't tease her any further, and gently supported her slender waist again. "We're on the second floor, watch your step."
Xia Yunuo's attention was entirely on him, and she didn't notice the escalator, causing her to stumble slightly.
If Song Yunshen hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have fallen.
She instinctively reached out and grabbed Song Yunshen's arm, but quickly let go after regaining her balance. She then looked around and changed the subject, asking, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the sixth floor," Song Yunshen said. "There's a trendy toy store there, it's quite interesting. I've been here with Lao Xu and the others before."
"Xu Zhuoyue? When?" Xia Yunuo tried to find a topic to talk about and asked.
"After junior high school, Song Yunshen recalled. "We had a farewell dinner nearby. After the meal, most people left, and only a few of us close classmates came over to hang out."
"Oh, that's great," Xia Yunuo remarked. "We never had a farewell dinner in junior high."
Let alone coming to a place like this for fun.
If she hadn't met Song Yunshen, Xia Yunuo felt that she probably would never have come to a place like this during her student days.
"It's alright, high school will definitely have it," Song Yunshen said with a smile. "If Lao Bao won't do it, I'll do it!"
" Teacher Zhang is so kind, she'll definitely do it," Xia Yunuo said with a smile.
She had previously gone to Teacher Song to inquire about tutoring, and it was Teacher Zhang who spoke on her behalf at the time.
Xia Yunuo still remembers it to this day.
"Anyway, graduation is still a long way off, we'll talk about it then." Song Yunshen said, then reached out and poked the corner of her upturned mouth. "Look, you look so beautiful when you smile. You don't always have to keep a straight face, smile more."
Xia Yunuo blushed a little at his words and quickly turned her head away, whispering, "I... I laugh sometimes too."
"No way," Song Yunshen shook his head repeatedly, "Before we were particularly close, I never saw you smile at school."
"Really?" Xia Yunuo didn't recall it.
Before she met Song Yunshen, she only had a dull and boring high school life.
It was the same in junior high.
I go to school alone, eat alone, and go home alone.
Actually, her older sister was willing to accompany her, but Xia Yunuo didn't like it.
She found herself preferring to be alone, enjoying the solitude and loneliness.
She can enjoy herself in this atmosphere.
But after meeting Song Yunshen, she felt like she had been lying all along.
You're deceiving yourself.
The loneliness that I used to be able to endure easily is now completely unbearable.
It's all Song Yunshen's fault.
Before this, she had no idea what a natural smile looked like when chatting with friends.
But when she was with Song Yunshen, it seemed to be just a natural, instinctive reaction.
It's like something you were born with.
If Song Yunshen hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have known she was laughing just now.
"Look, there's a claw machine over there." Xia Yunuo's heart was churning. When the elevator arrived at the third floor, her gaze fell on the claw machine at the entrance of the arcade. She said to Song Yunshen, "Did you get the toy you said you wanted to win here last time?"
"Yes." Speaking of this, Song Yunshen felt a little guilty, afraid that Xia Yunuo would realize that Xia Jinshu's two dolls were caught with him.
So he responded once and then stopped speaking.
Xia Yunuo continued, "How about we catch some later?"
"There's no need to come here," Song Yunshen said. "The toy store also has claw machines; we can try our luck there later."
"Okay." Xia Yunuo didn't really care about being caught or not; she just wanted to experience something her sister and Song Yunshen had gone through together.
The two chatted as they walked up to the sixth floor, followed the signs to the trendy toy section, and soon arrived at the entrance.
But when Xia Yunuo saw the price of a ticket at 180 yuan posted at the entrance, she panicked and quickly grabbed Song Yunshen's arm, whispering, "Um... maybe we should just forget about it..."
"Um?"
"Isn't this too expensive?" Xia Yunuo lowered her head and said embarrassedly.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
"Say what?"
"This is my cousin's shop," Song Yunshen said. "I told him before I came, and he said I could just give him my phone number and let the staff know when I got there, and then I could do whatever I wanted."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yunuo's mouth gaped slightly, and her eyes glazed over.
[It seems like his relatives own shops everywhere I go?]
[Oh, how embarrassing! I should have asked first.]
Song Yunshen patted her head, grabbed her wrist, and walked towards the front desk. He gave her his phone number, and sure enough, the staff let them in without them having to pay.
[I originally wanted to bring Xia Jinshu here last time, but we didn't have much time that day, so we didn't come up.]
Song Yunshen thoughts echoed in his mind.
Xia Yunuo's eyes gradually brightened when she realized her older sister hadn't come.
Ningning always goes to Song Yunshen's house to play games whenever she wants to see him, so she's definitely never been here.
So... I'm the first one?
Thinking of this, her mood brightened again.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Yunshen tapped her forehead. "Which one do you want to play first? Shooting, archery, billiards, bowling, dance machine, claw machine..."
"I... I'll listen to you," Xia Yunuo said softly. "I've never played this before, so I don't really know much about it."
"Let's take it one at a time." Song Yunshen led her to the nearest shooting area, where they took two infrared pistols from the attendant and played with them for a while.
This was Xia Yunuo's first time experiencing something like this, and although there were no real guns or ammunition, she still had a lot of fun.
When they arrived at the archery area next door, after the staff gave them some guidance, Song Yunshen easily scored a nine-ring.
Xia Yunuo, however, had a harder time because her form wasn't quite right, and she didn't even hit the target.
Song Yunshen chuckled a few times, making Xia Yunuo blush, before stepping forward to help her adjust her posture.
"Come on, stand properly." Song Yunshen placed his hands on her slender waist, then patted her left thigh through her skirt with one hand. "Stand sideways, yes, yes, slightly apart, don't put your legs together."
"The fletchings on these arrows have grooves, so once you tighten the bowstring, you don't need to hold it."
"Stretch out your left hand, yes, like this." Song Yunshen stood behind Xia Yunuo, supporting her wrist with his left hand and gently enveloping her small hand with his right, guiding her to exert force.
Xia Yunuo felt as if she were Song Yunshen, her whole body was burning hot, and her forehead was slightly sweating.
Until the arrow was shot and hit the bullseye!
"Wow!" Xia Yunuo exclaimed in surprise, turning to look at Song Yunshen behind her, "Ten rings!"
"Impressive," Song Yunshen patted her head. "So you're the real sharpshooter."
"You'll teach me well, okay?" Xia Yunuo smiled happily.
The ambiguous aura between the two was so dazzling that several boys who originally wanted to participate in the activity quietly moved away, planning to wait until the two left before making any moves.
After firing all ten arrows, Xia Yunuo was still somewhat unsatisfied, finding it even more interesting than the pistol shooting earlier.
However, this was only the second activity, and her arms were starting to ache, so she stopped insisting and obediently followed Song Yunshen to the next activity.
Song Yunshen was worried that she would get too tired, so he simply went to the claw machine area first, just as a break.
As a result, I got more than 20 game coins from the staff, tried to grab a doll more than ten times, but I still couldn't grab a single one.
Song Yunshen suspected that his uncle had secretly adjusted the tightness of the claws at his shop.
It's so dark!
When we meet during the Lunar New Year, I'm going to give my uncle a good dressing down.
But since it was free, he felt embarrassed to ask for more. After they had used up all their game tokens and rested enough, Song Yunshen took Xia Yunuo to play on other attractions.
After trying bowling, playing billiards for a while, and then throwing darts, it was noon before I knew it.
The two of them tried out almost everything in the trendy toy store. Xia Yunuo was slightly out of breath from exhaustion, but her mood was exceptionally bright. She wished she could stay there with Song Yunshen and play all day long.
"It's almost time." Song Yunshen glanced at his phone and waved to Xia Yunuo. "Let's go grab a bite to eat first. After we're done, my aunt should bring Yingying over."
"Mmm." Xia Yunuo nodded obediently. Although she wanted to play a little longer, there would be plenty of time in the future.
She followed Song Yunshen out of the trendy toy store and then asked, "Where are we going to have lunch? Is there a restaurant here owned by one of your relatives?"
"I'm not really sure if they have it or not." Song Yunshen scratched the back of his head. "I only found out about the trendy toy store because they needed to promote it when it first opened. My junior high school classmate and I came to check it out."
"There's an eyeglasses shop on the basement level that my aunt's friend owns."
"I really don't know about the others."
Is it just that you don't understand?
Xia Yunuo's eye twitched slightly, thinking to herself that she shouldn't have asked.
Since it's just unclear, it's very likely that it exists!
What exactly does their family do?
"Let's go, let's go eat Feizi Steak," Song Yunshen said. "Although this restaurant isn't owned by my relatives, I have a cousin who works at this chain. We can get discounts by topping up our accounts through him."
Xia Yunuo: "..."
Well, I really have been freeloading off Song Yunshen all the way here, with his relatives treating me wherever we go...
