[Saturday, July 19, 2025]
I made plans with Nuonuo yesterday to play together this morning, so I told her to come and wake me up as soon as she was awake.
[Unexpectedly, after she arrived at my house, she didn't come to call me right away, but instead secretly put on stockings on my sofa.]
[I don't know what she was thinking. Why didn't she get dressed at home? Why did she have to come to my house to get dressed?]
Could it be that she's afraid her family will find out?
Xia Jinshu opened the diary, and after reading just the first few sentences, she couldn't help but cover her forehead and sigh, finding it increasingly difficult to understand.
Xiao Nuo has never acted so inappropriately towards any other member of the opposite sex, yet every time she's asked, she says they're just friends. Is she just being stubborn?
They're even wearing white stockings!
I've never seen her wear that before.
Xia Jinshu turned her head and glanced at Xia Yunuo on the upper bunk, then continued looking down.
[After getting up, we watched a movie together at home. Around 9:30, I took her to Wanda Plaza and we browsed the trendy toy section.]
[I had originally planned to take Mama Xia there once, but we were short on time, so we only went to the arcade for a short while.] [Once I've accumulated enough random tasks for a week, I can exchange them for a reward, and then I'll take Mama Xia there.]
Xia Jinshu scoffed, thinking that she might as well just keep playing the claw machine. She had already taken Xiao Nuo there once, yet she was still thinking of taking her again.
However, since it was a reward promised to Song Yunshen, he could go wherever he wanted, and she would reluctantly accompany him one more time.
Xia Jinshu rested her chin on her hand, somewhat curious about what was in the trendy toy store, but Song Yunshen's diary didn't describe it in detail, skipping directly to the next paragraph.
[I had steak for lunch, and I unexpectedly ran into Brother Tao and Chen Yue, but they were there to see a movie, so we parted ways after lunch.]
[I picked up Yingying this afternoon and took her to the children's playground on the 6th floor. Brother Tao saw us and told Lao Xu. I reckon Fat Dragon probably knows too, which means the whole class knows.]
I don't really care, I'm just worried that Nuonuo might be too shy.
[While playing on the trampoline at the children's playground, she fell. Luckily, I caught her quickly, and she fell directly on me. Her face turned bright red.]
Xia Jinshu looked at the diary, imagining that scene.
To be honest, she had rarely seen her younger sister blush before, or rather, she had never seen her blush at all.
Only recently, when Song Yunshen is mentioned to her face, will her face turn red if she gets anxious about the question.
She's usually so quiet and aloof, she never seems like the type to blush. Thinking about this, Xia Jinshu suddenly realized it wasn't so bad after all.
She remembered that when she was little, Xiao Nuo wasn't like this at all; on the contrary, she was quite lively.
Perhaps, this is Xiao Nuo's true personality?
[I got home at 3 p. m., dropped Yingying off at home, and then saw Nuonuo downstairs before leaving.]
[When the conversation turned to dinner, she assumed I was having dinner at my uncle's house too, and seemed a little surprised to learn that my tutor would cook for me.]
[To be honest, she's surprised a bit too soon. I wonder what her expression would be if she knew that her sister cooked dinner for me. It's funny to think about.]
[But as she was leaving, she suddenly asked me if I wanted her to cook lunch tomorrow.]
[Since I don't have classes tomorrow morning, I thought this was a good idea, so I agreed.]
[Unexpectedly, when I went to the market this afternoon, my grandfather told me to go play at the fishpond with Xia Jinshu tomorrow morning.]
[I originally thought Xia Jinshu wouldn't agree, but she actually did.]
[I had no choice but to stand Nuonuo up. But to make it up to her, I invited her over that evening and had her make me some fried rice.]
[I must say, it actually tastes pretty good.] Seeing this, Xia Jinshu suddenly realized that Xiao Nuo had gone out earlier for this very reason.
Did you already know?
But what do you mean by "to make up for it," and that you had her come over and cook fried rice with eggs?
This is so weird!
It's like my sister is cooking for him, and it's a reward for her!
Xia Jinshu was both amused and exasperated, and helplessly rubbed her forehead.
So this guy ate the dinner she made around 5 pm, and then had another meal of fried rice with eggs around 8 pm.
You've got quite an appetite!
How can you eat all of this?
Is it because you think she didn't cook enough for dinner?
[To be fair, I feel that Mama Xia's cooking is slightly better. But you can't be sure, since we only had fried rice for dinner.]
[I'll eat Nuonuo's cooking again next week, then I should be able to tell the difference.] [I should rest early today and get plenty of energy, I need to go to the fishpond tomorrow.]
After reading the last paragraph of today's diary entry, Xia Jinshu raised her eyebrows slightly, her mood brightening somewhat, and she couldn't help but smile.
She cooks the most in the family, how could the food not be delicious?
Xiao Nuo still has a lot to learn.
Xia Jinshu read through the diary again, then closed it and put it away. She got up, lay down on the bed, stretched slightly, and prepared to go to sleep early.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
As soon as Song Yunshen finished writing his diary for the day, he immediately took out the Future Diary from the drawer, slumped onto his desk, flipped to the latest page, and then couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
A full day has passed since the Future Diary was updated on the specified date yesterday.
As expected, the Future Diary was randomly refreshed again without specifying a particular date.
Song Yunshen glanced at the date on it.
2027?
It's a bit of a shame, it's too early; there probably isn't much useful information. Go to Bing search to see the latest chapter!
Could you share some stock market news or something?
Please stop writing things like what I had for lunch today.
Thinking this, Song Yunshen continued reading down the dates.
[August 5, 2027, Sunny]
Today is the day Xiao Nuo goes to school to pick up her university acceptance letter.
[Although I could check the results online beforehand and knew she had been admitted to Hongqiao University, seeing the actual admission letter still feels different.]
Xiao Nuo was actually quite unhappy. Her goal had always been Lan River University, but her grades were ultimately a step behind.
After the results came out, the family discussed it for a long time. With Xiao Nuo's grades, although she didn't meet the admission score for Lan River University, she would have more than enough to study at a decent 211 university outside the province.
[ Xiao Nuo originally wanted to stay in the province and didn't really want to study away from home. I know she was worried about spending more money, so after discussing it with her mother, her attitude was very firm: she must focus on her grades and not think about these other things.]
[In the end, she didn't disappoint with her achievement, and Hongqiao City is very close to Linhang City, only an hour away by high-speed rail, making it quite convenient to travel back and forth.]
[ Xiao Nuo went to school to pick up her acceptance letter in the afternoon. It seemed she had arranged to meet with her classmates. After picking it up, she even had a meal outside with her homeroom teacher.] [When she got home, our whole family gathered around to admire her acceptance letter.]
Now that Xiao Nuo has also been admitted to university, only Ningning is left. However, Ningning's grades are a bit worse than Xiao Nuo's. My mother and I are hoping that she can get into a finance and economics university in the province.
[When I got back to my room that night, I was chatting with Xiao Nuo Xiao Nuo, and I suddenly remembered the boy who used to study with her in the library during our senior year of high school.]
[His name seems to be Song Yunshen. He's also our landlord's son. I was quite surprised when I found out; I never imagined that the landlord's son and Xiao Nuo would be classmates.]
[I was initially worried that Song Yunshen might affect Xiao Nuo's studies, but now that she's been admitted to Hongqiao University, I don't need to worry about it too much.]
We can't blame everyone else for Xiao Nuo not getting into Lan River University, can we?
I casually asked, and Xiao Nuo said that Song Yunshen had been admitted to the local Linhang University of Electronic Science and Technology.
[This school is also quite good; within the province, it would be considered one of the top tier schools under Lan River University.]
I was a little curious about their relationship after graduation, so I jokingly asked her if Song Yunshen had confessed his feelings to her.
Xiao Nuo seemed quite calm, only telling me not to talk nonsense and that we were just ordinary classmates.
[Actually, I don't mind if they have any relationship. After all, I've met him a few times before. That guy named Song Yunshen is quite handsome and his family is rich. If Xiao Nuo could be with him, it would be pretty good.]
[However, since Xiao Nuo isn't interested in him, I didn't say anything more.] [I heard that the cost of living in Hongqiao City is higher than in Linhang City. Fortunately, I've been working this summer and saved up quite a bit of money, so Xiao Nuo's university life shouldn't be too financially strained.]
I hope things will get better in the future. I'm going to sleep now; I have to get up early to go to work tomorrow.
After reading the diary, Song Yunshen stroked his chin and began to ponder.
Unexpectedly, tonight's random diary entries provided him with a lot of useful information.
The most crucial point is that we now know which universities he and Xia Yunuo will be attending.
Based on their current class rankings, Xia Yunuo, who was ranked slightly above 100th, did indeed have a chance to apply to Lan River University, but unfortunately, she didn't make it.
But getting into Hongqiao University in the end is already quite an achievement.
As for himself, he got into Linhang University of Electronic Science and Technology, which is not bad, at least it's a bit better than his current class ranking.
After all, his actual skill level is probably around 250th in the grade.
Unless you work really hard and perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 200 of your grade, you'll probably have a chance to get into Linhang University of Electronic Science and Technology.
Of course, he's different now.
After Xia Jinshu's special training this summer, if his English score improves by even one section, he should be more than capable of ranking in the top 200. As for how he improved his grades in the original timeline...?
Song Yunshen's gaze fell on this Future Diary, and he easily found the answer.
During my senior year of high school, did I often go to the library to study with Xia Yunuo?
Unexpectedly, when Song Yunshen read that diary entry from 2029, he thought that his future interactions with the three Xia sisters would only begin after he went to university.
I never imagined I'd already started doing it back in my senior year of high school.
No, no...
The text says that Xia Yunuo was very calm when she mentioned him, and it didn't seem like there was anything fishy going on.
Could it be that during their senior year of high school, they were really just classmates?
Mutual support and learning?
No other thoughts?
Is it true or false?
Song Yunshen stroked his chin with a suspicious look, regretting that he couldn't see the Future Diary he had written and could only speculate from Xia Jinshu's third-person perspective. Now it seemed that Xia Yunuo had been admitted to Hongqiao University. Although Hongqiao City was quite close to Linhang City, it was still a foreign place, and traveling there and back was definitely not as convenient as going to a local university.
Looking at her attitude in her diary, it doesn't seem like she's interested in him.
So, does that mean his first girlfriend was Xia Kening, and Xia Yunuo is his future wife?
Based on the information available now, this seems more likely, since being in a long-distance relationship significantly reduces the chances of a romantic relationship.
Song Yunshen silently wrote down his guess, intending to verify it slowly later.
After reading today's Future Diary, Song Yunshen closed it again, put it back in the drawer and locked it, let out a long sigh, and then rolled over and lay back down on the bed.
He took out his phone, opened WeChat, looked at the three profile pictures he had pinned to the top, pointed at them, and finally tapped on Xia Jinshu's profile picture.
So he clicked into Xia Jinshu's chat page first and sent her a message.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Teacher Xia, see you at the entrance of the community at 9 a. m. tomorrow. Don't forget!
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Yes, I remember. I'll be there on time tomorrow.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Then I'll go to sleep first. Good night.
[ Xia Jinshu ]: Okay, good night. Mama Xia is still too serious. We don't have much to talk about when we chat on WeChat.
After exchanging a few words, Song Yunshen sent a "goodnight" message to end the conversation.
I definitely won't sleep.
Saying "goodnight" means I have something to do and we have to stop chatting, not that I'm actually going to sleep.
After exiting the chat interface, Song Yunshen once again selected his generals, this time pointing to Xia Yunuo.
[ Song Yunshen ]: What is Nuonuo doing?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I'm guessing when you'll message me.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Did you guess right?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: No, I thought you would contact me before 10 o'clock.
[ Song Yunshen ]: That's quite difficult. I started at 9 o'clock and spent half an hour studying English. Then I had to take a shower and write in my diary. As soon as I finished, I came to find you.
Well, not immediately, but at least he's the second one; he hasn't even contacted Xia Kening yet.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: You keep a diary? [ Song Yunshen ]: Yes, don't you?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I don't usually have this habit.
My older sister does have a habit of writing a diary, and she seems to really enjoy it.
It wasn't obvious before, but recently, Xia Yunuo noticed that she often keeps her diary next to her every night, flipping through it from time to time, and writing in it quite seriously.
I never expected that Song Yunshen also liked to write a diary.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Then you can give it a try. I think writing a diary is quite interesting.
Song Yunshen tried to persuade her, and a sudden idea came to his mind.
Since I can see Xia Jinshu's diary, is it possible that I can also see the diaries written by Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening?
Could it be that Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening don't have the habit of keeping diaries because they can't see them now?
If they develop the habit of writing diaries, maybe they'll see it themselves?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Okay, I'll give it a try when I have time.
After chatting with Xia Yunuo for a while, Song Yunshen said goodnight to her, then exited the chat and clicked on Xia Kening's profile picture. [ Song Yunshen ]: What are you doing, my dear daughter?
[ Xia Kening ]: My dear son, is something wrong?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I think you've gotten bolder.
[ Xia Kening ]: Hmph, you shouted first, okay?
[ Song Yunshen ]: This is perfectly legitimate for me.
[ Xia Kening ]: Bah! The results of the opening exams haven't come out yet. Wait till I see, I'll slap you in the face and make you kneel down crying for your mother!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Are you already asleep? You seem to be having a vivid dream.
[ Xia Kening ]: Just being in the top 50 of the grade? You can easily crush that, right?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Hehe, if you don't get into the top 50 in your grade and I get 100 in English, you'll have to wear a cosplay outfit, cook, and call me "Dad" all the time.
[ Xia Kening ]: You wish!
The two engaged in a heated exchange of words, debating and arguing for a while before temporarily trucing themselves.
Xia Kening told him to go to Douyin and watch the videos she shared. Song Yunshen reluctantly reviewed them and liked a few of the more interesting ones. Luckily, he had eaten fried rice made by Xia Yunuo that night, otherwise, if she had fed him a bunch of late-night food videos at this hour, his stomach would probably be growling again.
[ Xia Kening ]: Could you please change the password access time for the door lock to an earlier time?
[ Song Yunshen ]: We've already changed it to 6:30, how much earlier do you want?
[ Xia Kening ]: Can you change it to 6 o'clock for me?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I really can't get up at 6 o'clock. Can't you let me sleep a little longer?
[ Xia Kening ]: Isn't that all your fault? I could have played all morning, but now I can only play until 9 o'clock, and you won't even let me play a little longer.
[ Song Yunshen ]: This is just once. I'll definitely let you have as much fun as you want next weekend.
[ Xia Kening ]: Oh, no matter how long I play next weekend, it won't stop me from playing more tomorrow. I can just play by myself for a while after I get to your house, and then wake you up at 6:30.
[ Song Yunshen ]: It's not impossible, let me think about it some more.
[ Xia Kening ]: Stop thinking about it, brother~ please~ you're the best!
[ Song Yunshen ]: It doesn't seem very sincere.
Xia Kening immediately understood what he meant. She gritted her teeth while lying on the bed, then secretly glanced at Yan Zhenxia typing at the dining table. She then rolled off the bed and dashed into the bathroom. Soon, Song Yunshen received a voice message from Xia Kening.
"Brother~ You're the best~ Please~"
Mmm, that's the taste!
Song Yunshen chuckled, seemingly satisfied. He listened to it twice more before replying by tapping on his phone screen.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Alright, alright, I've changed your permissions. You can open the door at 6 a. m. tomorrow.
[ Xia Kening ]: Yay! Brother is the best~
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm not chatting anymore, I'm going to sleep.
[ Xia Kening ]: Goodnight, goodnight~
[ Song Yunshen ]: Good night.
After saying goodnight to the three girls, Song Yunshen finally finished his bedtime routine. He yawned, plugged in his phone to charge, and went straight to sleep.
