"Pretty sister, hold me tight!"
After the electric car started, Yingying sat in Song Yunshen's lap, her two pink little hands holding Xia Yunuo's outstretched hands.
She even pulled herself closer to her stomach so that Xia Yunuo could hug her tighter.
As Xia Yunuo was pulled like that, she pressed herself even closer to Song Yunshen's back, her face burning red.
[You're hugging me so tightly! I wish I could ride an electric scooter like this from now on!]
[Holy crap! Xia Yunuo really has a bust, it's quite noticeable.]
She heard Song Yunshen thoughts; the first sentence made her a little shy and excited.
But when she heard the last sentence, her face darkened, and she silently clenched her fists.
What do you mean by "really exists"?!
It exists!
What's so surprising about that!
That's a pervert!
If it were any other boy, Xia Yunuo would probably have gotten off the bus with a dark expression by now.
But then she thought again, after all, it was Song Yunshen's true feeling.
They just thought about it in their hearts, but didn't say it out loud.
A wise person judges actions, not intentions.
If Song Yunshen could hear her own thoughts, she would probably have a lot of embarrassing things to say that he would hear.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
With that thought in mind, Xia Yunuo reluctantly forgave him.
The electric car slowly drove towards Tangning New Residence.
When they went over the speed bump, Xia Yunuo hugged him a little tighter, silently explaining to herself.
I did that because I was worried that Yingying wouldn't be able to sit still, it wasn't for any other reason.
Yingying is still young and doesn't understand these things at all; she only knows that it's fun to sit on the electric car and feel the wind blowing against her.
She usually goes out in her parents' car, and she rarely rides on an electric scooter.
For her, riding the electric car was probably more fun; whenever it hit a speed bump, she would yell "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were about to take off.
Ten minutes later.
The electric vehicle smoothly entered the gate of Tangning New Residence West District and parked under the carport.
After Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo successfully escorted Yingying upstairs, they went to Song Yunshen's house to retrieve Xia Yunuo's schoolbag.
"Then I'll go home now."
"Okay, I'll take you."
"It's alright, it's alright, no need."
"It's no trouble," Song Yunshen said. "I also have something to do outside."
"Oh." Xia Yunuo nodded gently, but felt a little strange.
What else could Song Yunshen possibly have to do this afternoon?
If her previous guess was correct, shouldn't it be her sister coming over to give Song Yunshen a private tutoring lesson?
Why did he even go out then?
Just as she was thinking this, Song Yunshen's thoughts echoed in her mind.
[I'll take her downstairs first, then pick Xia Jinshu up at the entrance of the complex and we'll go to the market to buy some groceries.]
[If I run into my grandfather, I can ask him about his plans for tomorrow.]
Upon hearing this, Xia Yunuo's eyes widened for a moment, slightly bewildered.
What's going on?
Why do they still need to go to the farmers' market?
Do I need to go grocery shopping before I get a private tutoring lesson?
Xia Yunuo only needed to think about it for a moment to know that it was definitely impossible.
So the vegetables I bought at the market were definitely for Song Yunshen's family's dinner.
My sister also mentioned that she's been eating dinner at her tutor's house lately.
But—can Song Yunshen cook?
She remembered Song Yunshen mentioning before that his father had gone on vacation during the summer.
His mother passed away, and there were no other adults in the house.
So—who cooked dinner?
Surely my older sister can't cook for me!
As for the last part of his thoughts, Xia Yunuo pondered it for a moment and guessed that Song Yunshen might be visiting his maternal grandfather's house tomorrow.
I didn't think much of it.
As they walked out of Song Yunshen's house and into the elevator together, Xia Yunuo tentatively asked, "By the way, I heard you say that your father recently went on a trip."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"So, are you having lunch at your uncle's house now, and also having dinner at your uncle's house?"
"We can't always bother them, can we?" Song Yunshen blinked, pondering what to say. After thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth, "My dad found me a tutor, and she'll cook dinner for me too."
really!
In fact, Xia Yunuo already had the answer in her heart; this was just further confirmation.
She thought Song Yunshen would tell a little lie.
Xia Yunuo pursed her lips, unsure of what to feel.
Song Yunshen did not lie, but he did not tell the whole story either.
However, he didn't know that Xia Jinshu was his older sister. The reason he didn't tell her the whole story might be because his sister had asked him to?
After all, my sister never mentioned who her tutor was when she was at home.
Song Yunshen was unaware of their sisterly relationship, but his older sister certainly knew very well that she and Song Yunshen were classmates!
She must have chosen to keep it a secret because she was afraid of being misunderstood.
Oh dear, really—what's there to hide?
Thinking about this, Xia Yunuo immediately realized that she had also been keeping it a secret from them all along.
Okay, okay, then let's call it even.
Anyway, she already knows, while her older and younger sisters still don't know about her tutoring job.
When she received her salary next month, she didn't say anything, but secretly handed over two thousand yuan of it to her mother, keeping the remaining one thousand yuan as her reward.
Part of it was used to treat Song Yunshen a meal, and the other part was saved for the next semester's food expenses.
Perfect.
As for the matter of my sister cooking at Song Yunshen's house----
Xia Yunuo bit her lip lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She can cook, after all. If Song Yunshen really wants to eat, he can just have his sister go home after class and she can come over and cook.
Anyway, after teaching Yingying every day, all she had to do was go home and do her homework; she didn't have anything else to do.
hateful!
I should have discussed it with Song Yunshen's aunt earlier. If only we could have moved Yingying's class time to before evening.
As Xia Yunuo pondered these thoughts, she suddenly felt a little down.
Song Yunshen turned to look at her. He had originally wanted to take a few more glances at her white-stockinged legs before she left, but then he noticed her expression and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you have too much fun today? Now that it's time to go home, are you starting to feel reluctant to leave?"
Hearing this, Xia Yunuo blinked, turned her head away, and muttered softly, "I guess so----"
"It's either yes or no, what does 'it' mean?"
Xia Yunuo glanced at him, sensing that she was already somewhat resistant to Song Yunshen's tactics, and proactively asked, "So, are you happy today?"
"I'm so happy." Song Yunshen took out his phone and said deliberately, "Didn't I take a lot of photos? I'll post them on WeChat Moments later."
"Wait!" Xia Yunuo panicked when she heard that he was going to post it on his WeChat Moments and quickly reached out to stop him.
His older sister is his tutor, Ningning is his game-playing agent; they definitely both have his WeChat.
If I post this on WeChat Moments, wouldn't I expose myself?
no!
"What's wrong?" Of course, Song Yunshen wouldn't actually post her photo on his WeChat Moments; he just wanted to scare her. So he deliberately feigned a puzzled expression.
Xia Yunuo's face tightened, her mind racing, almost making a fire.
"I think, well—" Xia Yunuo stammered, unsure how to say it, but after much thought, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I'm a little embarrassed."
"What are you embarrassed about?" Song Yunshen said with a smile, "I only posted pictures of Yingying, just to report my work results to my aunt and uncle."
"Huh?" Xia Yunuo was stunned for a moment, then saw Song Yunshen open his phone and show her several pictures of Yingying at the children's playground.
Photos of them playing.
Xia Yunuo was not among them.
This gave her a slight sense of relief, but she was immediately disappointed again.
It seemed that deep down she hoped Song Yunshen would send her photos.
This contradictory emotion left her feeling choked up and speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Song Yunshen had finished organizing the photos and clicked send, Xia Yunuo also took out her phone, opened her Moments, and saw the new post that Song Yunshen had made.
She silently gave it a thumbs up, and then said nothing more.
The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out, waving to Song Yunshen: "Then I'll head home now."
"Okay, bye-bye." Song Yunshen waved to her too. "See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Xia Yunuo nodded, then suddenly remembered something, turned back to Song Yunshen and asked, "You should be free tomorrow at noon, right?"
Song Yunshen, who was about to slip away towards the bike shed, was suddenly stopped by her call. He immediately halted and replied somewhat guiltily, "Yes, yes—aren't we going to my uncle's house for dinner?"
According to Song Yunshen's plan, he intended to take Xia Jinshu to play at the fishpond after Yingying finished her class at 3 PM.
It won't interfere with having lunch with Xia Yunuo.
Xia Yunuo kept her head down, not daring to look at him, and asked softly, "If you have time, how about I cook?"
"Huh?" Song Yunshen was taken aback, not expecting Xia Yunuo to say that.
Xia Yunuo came to make him lunch?
Tomorrow is the weekend, and I don't have classes in the morning, which isn't a problem, but I need to tell my aunt in advance.
He was quite Xia Yunuo's cooking skills.
I wonder how his cooking skills compare to Xia Jinshu's.
Hearing this, Xia Yunuo thought Song Yunshen was doubting her cooking skills, so she gritted her teeth and added, "I often cook at home, so it should taste alright."
Song Yunshen Shen was already inclined to agree, and upon hearing her words, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Then I'll look forward to it? I'll take you grocery shopping tomorrow."
"Mmm!" Xia Yunuo smiled happily when she heard his agreement, but she was too embarrassed to let Song Yunshen see it, so she quickly turned around. "Then I'm going home, bye-bye!"
"Okay, bye-bye."
Finally seeing Xia Yunuo off, Song Yunshen breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a little excited about tomorrow's lunch. He turned to head towards the car.
Walk towards the shed.
Estimated in his mind when Xia Yunuo would leave the community, Song Yunshen glanced at the message Xia Jinshu had sent earlier, replied, and then rode his electric bike slowly toward the community gate.
Thinking that Xia Yunuo should have already left, Song Yunshen rode his electric bike to the entrance of the residential area, successfully picked up Xia Jinshu, and headed towards the vegetable market.
Meanwhile, not far away, Xia Yunuo peeked out from behind a tree, her lips pursed tightly, watching her sister leave on the back of Song Yunshen's car, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Although she had heard Song Yunshen's thoughts earlier, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she actually saw this scene.
However, she discovered something.
When the older sister sat on Song Yunshen's electric scooter, she was sitting sideways, which didn't seem like a sign of intimacy.
So, it seems my sister doesn't have any other feelings for Song Yunshen.
She probably only cooked for Song Yunshen because no one at home cooked dinner, right?
Thinking about this, Xia Yunuo felt much more relaxed, for some reason.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After arriving at the market with Xia Jinshu, the two wandered around and eventually ended up at Song Yunshen's grandfather's stall.
Seeing the two approach, Zhao Lisong's eyes lit up. He greeted them with a smile, waved, and then said, "Don't forget tomorrow, it's a promise."
"I know, I know." Song Yunshen waved his hand with a smile, "I won't forget, you've reminded me so many times, I'll definitely be there on time at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon."
"What, 3:30 PM?" Upon hearing this time, Zhao Lisong immediately frowned. "If you're going to play at the fishpond, you have to come in the morning, right? If you only arrive at 3:30 PM, what are you going to do? It'll be evening by the time you walk around."
"Huh?" Song Yunshen was taken aback for a moment before realizing that they hadn't actually set a time. "It's alright, it's just the first time anyway, let's get familiar with it first."
"Is this how you treat Xiao Shu?" Zhao Lisong said irritably. "What could you possibly have to do tomorrow? Why do you have to come in the afternoon?"
"Um... Yingying has to go to class."
"Are you a teacher?"
"----no."
"Then what are you talking about?" Zhao Lisong said. "You guys come straight here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"No way—this is way too early!" Song Yunshen exclaimed.
"Your grandma's been talking about you all the time, and it's already summer vacation, yet you haven't even come to visit," Zhao Lisong said, then turned to Xia Jinshu beside him, " Xiao Shu, what do you say? How about coming over for a whole day tomorrow?"
Xia Jinshu was picking out vegetables, originally intending to let Song Yunshen take full responsibility for chatting.
When Zhao Lisong asked him this question, he thought about it for a moment.
She knew that her younger sister was tutoring Song Yunshen's cousin, and that Song Yunshen accompanied her every day.
That's why he said he'd arrive at the fishpond at 3:30 PM.
If you don't want Xiao Nuo to be unhappy, it's best to choose 3:30.
but--
Didn't Xiao Nuo say that she and Song Yunshen were just friends?
Let's see how Xiao Nuo reacts.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinshu rolled her eyes and deliberately said, "I'm fine. Besides tutoring him, I don't have much else to do."
"Look," Zhao Lisong said, immediately glaring at Song Yunshen, " Xiao Shu is fine, don't let me down!"
"----" Song Yunshen looked at Xia Jinshu with a surprised expression, not expecting her to agree.
He had just promised Xia Yunuo that he would eat her cooking tomorrow.
And I promised Xia Kening last night that I'd definitely let her come over to play games tomorrow morning.
Doesn't this mean everything is ruined?
He's still waiting for Xia Kening's new way of waking him up.
I don't know if they just shoved the white-stockinged feet into his mouth.
If we agree to Grandpa's request now, we'll have to stand Xia Kening and Xia Yunuo up and make them wait until next weekend.
Thinking of this, Song Yunshen suddenly felt a headache coming on.
After thinking it over, he tried to negotiate, saying, "Seven o'clock is too early, I can't get up. How about nine o'clock?"
Zhao Lisong looked at him, then turned to look at Xia Jinshu.
Xia Jinshu had no idea that her younger sister would go to Song Yunshen's house early on a weekend morning to wake him up; she just wanted to try and ruin an opportunity for her sister Xia Yunuo and Song Yunshen to spend time together.
Upon hearing the time of nine in the morning, she readily nodded in agreement. "I'm fine with that."
"Okay, then it'll be nine o'clock." Zhao Lisong chuckled and finalized the decision.
Song Yunshen sighed and silently apologized to Xia Yunuo in his heart.
I should find some time tonight to tell her.
Hmm... saying it on WeChat seems a bit insincere. How about we meet in person to talk?
If he's sincere, Xia Yunuo should forgive him.
