Song Yunshen was unaware that someone was waiting for his diary updates every night, so after entering a period of deep reflection, he decisively stopped updating.
Despite Xia Jinshu's several attempts to probe Song Yunshen on WeChat, she still couldn't get him out of bed to write his diary entry for the night.
After successfully saying goodnight to the three girls, Song Yunshen went straight to sleep.
In the following days, he returned to the monotonous and tedious summer vacation routine that repeated itself day after day.
In the morning, I had breakfast with Xia Yunuo, then went to school together for tutoring. At noon, I took her to my uncle's house for lunch, and then taught Yingying a lesson.
In the afternoon, I drove Xia Jinshu to the market to buy groceries. If we ran into my grandfather, we would chat for a while. Then I would go home to prepare the food, teach classes, cook, and eat.
Around 7 p. m., Xia Kening came over to play games with him.
At 9 PM sharp, I called Xia Jinshu to review vocabulary.
I took a shower at 9:30, read the Future Diary, and then wrote in my diary.
I had a pleasant chat with three girls before bed, and then finally went to sleep.
Song Yunshen felt like he had become a robot. His daily routine was very regular, with each time slot clearly defined and the tasks he needed to perform.
Then he realized something: no wonder his future self wasn't juggling three relationships at the same time. He hadn't even started yet, and dealing with three girls every day already took up all his time, leaving no chance to hang out with his best buddies. If he really became a scumbag, would he even have any free time?
Song Yunshen suddenly realized that this thing was actually a technical job, and that ordinary people really couldn't do it.
He's practically cheating!
But he was genuinely happy, so Song Yunshen decided to put aside all other concerns for the time being.
Being able to spend every day with three beautiful girls is something many people could only dream of.
Divorce, infidelity, breakups... these things are still a long way off for him.
He's still just a child!
Don't put too much pressure on him; he can't handle it.
The weekend was fast approaching.
During this period, three more entries appeared in the Future Diary, but they were all ordinary and contained no useful information.
One entry is from Xia Jinshu's diary before the college entrance examination in 2026. It mainly describes Xia Jinshu's feelings as the exam approached, her thoughts on what would happen after the exam, and her lunch and dinner that day. The second entry is from Xia Jinshu's diary in 2028, when she was a junior in college. It only describes what she ate for lunch and dinner and how she planned to use the money she earned from working during the summer vacation.
The third entry was somewhat unexpected for Song Yunshen. The time was 2040, four years later than the time of his future divorce. However, there was no content related to him in the diary. It only talked about Xia Jinshu's work and what she ate that day.
Well... Song Yunshen figured it out. Unless there was something important that day, or she suddenly thought of something that could affect her mood, Xia Jinshu Shu would always talk about what she ate that day.
Perhaps it was because she had grown accustomed to a life of hardship over the years that she developed a habit of being frugal, so she would record what she ate every day to avoid exceeding her budget.
Unlike Song Yunshen, who might have forgotten what he ate for lunch by evening, how could he remember it so clearly?
But there is at least one piece of good news: Xia Jinshu in 2040 did not mention her boyfriend or husband in her diary, indicating that she was still unmarried at this point in time.
Song Yunshen was well aware that even if Xia Jinshu did find someone else in the future, theoretically he had no right to interfere.
At present, he and Xia Jinshu are far from being very close.
But he just has this inexplicable possessiveness.
Perhaps it's because Xia Jinshu was the first person he ever took off with.
It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I really acted impulsively a few days ago, and I've felt ashamed ever since. Whenever I see Xia Jinshu, I feel embarrassed and I've stopped saying so many flirtatious things.
Especially since Xia Jinshu would wear her freshly washed clothes to his lessons every other day, he could see Xia Jinshu long, white legs every single day. Just thinking about how he could hold such a girl and sleep with her every day made the young Song Yunshen feel restless.
The fact that he managed to refrain from making any advances towards Xia Jinshu already demonstrates his strong self-control and high moral standards.
The key issue is that Xia Jinshu is becoming increasingly less wary of him.
Even when wearing a pleated skirt during class, she would occasionally cross her legs, causing the skirt to slip down.
Even with safety shorts underneath, the temptation was still too great for Song Yunshen.
Moreover, when making dinner, Xia Jinshu would occasionally teach Song Yunshen how to cook one or two dishes, and there would be slight physical contact from time to time, leaving him feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
These days are getting more and more unbearable.
With another week of tutoring classes over, Saturday arrived as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Song Yunshen felt like he was being paralyzed by a ghost and had a nightmare.
In his dream, he was pinned down by a giant steamed bun, making it hard for him to breathe, and he could hear the giant steamed bun's lewd laughter.
Just as he felt like he was about to die from suffocation, Song Yunshen suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he had been covered by a pillow the whole time. Before he could push the pillow away, Xia Kening, who was sitting on his stomach, had already lifted the pillow up and looked at him curiously. "Why aren't you... Huh? You're finally awake? I thought you could keep holding it in."
Song Yunshen slapped the pillow away, then raised his hand to cover his forehead, rubbing it vigorously a few times until he finally came to his senses. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "You're trying to murder your father?"
"Isn't this a new way to wake someone up?" Xia Kening said with a grin. "This time it's suffocation play, do you like it?"
"Are you sure this suffocation play you're talking about is legitimate?" Song Yunshen narrowed his eyes, revealing a very doubtful expression.
Xia Kening, however, was stunned, tilting her head in confusion and asking, "What's wrong with this?"
"Okay, never mind." Song Yunshen coughed and patted the guy's thigh. "Get out of the way, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Oh." Xia Kening nodded obediently, then got off Song Yunshen. She then secretly glanced at Song Yunshen's bulging groin and said casually, "By the way, it's been a long time since we switched places, hasn't it?"
Xia Kening secretly thought to herself, "I've almost forgotten what it feels like for a guy to go to the bathroom."
"Why do you seem so excited?" Song Yunshen got off the bed, glanced at Xia Kening's expression, and said somewhat irritably, "Besides, it's only been two weeks since I changed it, wasn't it the same last time?"
"Logically speaking, shouldn't the switch be happening in the next few days?" Xia Kening analyzed, stroking her chin.
"Why do I always feel like you're plotting something?" Song Yunshen reached out and vigorously rubbed Xia Kening's head, then pinched her cheeks to get used to the feel of them. "Stop thinking about these nonsense things. When God wants us to switch places, He will. When He doesn't want to, thinking about it won't help."
"What kind of scheme could I possibly have..." Xia Kening felt a little guilty after being called out, but then she puffed out her chest, pretending to be righteous, and finally sighed, "Sigh... if only we could control when we switch places ourselves."
"Shouldn't it be best if we never swap them?"
"It's not so bad to switch roles once in a while, is it?" Xia Kening chuckled. "At least after we switch, I can bully you instead, and you can't fight back."
"Isn't it possible?" Song Yunshen said speechlessly, reaching out to poke her forehead, "If we switch places, and you bully me, it'll be my body bullying yours, okay?"
"I don't care, I'll just have my fun first." Xia Kening snorted, displaying a very optimistic spirit.
Song Yunshen felt a bit uncomfortable and didn't talk to her anymore. He hurriedly went into the bathroom, rinsed off quickly, and then took Xia Kening downstairs for breakfast.
When we got back home, our fun game time began.
Song Yunshen still needed to memorize some vocabulary, so he handed over his account to Xia Kening so she could complete the daily tasks and activities first.
When working as a proxy for Song Yun Shen's account, Xia Kening was very serious. She diligently finished working on Song Yunshen's account before opening her own account and happily entering the story.
These days, if you get into Genshin Impact, there's just too much story to finish. Xia Kening has been playing for three weeks and is still stuck in the second country in the game.
If she continues playing at this pace, she probably won't be able to catch up by the time the storyline for the last country starts next year.
However, Xia Kening wasn't in a hurry. In the past few days, every time the plot ended, she liked to turn to the side, put her feet on Song Yunshen's thigh, and comfortably eat snacks while playing games. Song Yunshen gradually accepted her antics. When he was memorizing vocabulary, he would occasionally pinch her feet, feeling as if he had divine help, though he didn't know if it was just his imagination.
Sometimes they're barefoot, sometimes they're wearing white stockings; the feel is different too, each with its own unique characteristics.
But when it was nine o'clock in the morning, Song Yunshen's phone vibrated, and he received a message from Xia Yunuo.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy groceries later.
Upon seeing this message, Song Yunshen suddenly remembered that he had promised Xia Yunuo that he would have her come to his house to cook lunch on weekends.
Thinking of this, Song Yunshen Shen immediately turned to Xia Kening and said to her, " Xia Yunuo is coming to my house to cook lunch. I was thinking of taking her grocery shopping later. Why don't you play until ten o'clock today and then go home?"
Hearing this, Xia Kening clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. Then, noticing Song Yunshen's phone, she immediately leaned over and, seeing the chat history, mimicked Xia Yunuo's words in a very sweet voice. "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy groceries later!"
"Behave yourself." Song Yunshen got goosebumps listening to this, and impatiently pressed her head down, pushing her back into the chair. "I'm discussing something with you."
" Xia Yunuo is coming to cook, what does it have to do with whether I'm leaving or not?" Xia Kening snorted, then rolled her eyes, and taking advantage of Song Yunshen's inattention, snatched his phone, switched to voice mode, and said, "Sister, you're so amazing! You can even cook! Can I have scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I wonder if you can make it?"
After saying that, Xia Kening immediately released her finger and sent the voice message directly.
Song Yunshen watched her do this with a speechless expression. He could have stopped her halfway through, but then he thought that since they had come together before, he would just let her be.
But he immediately took the phone back and tapped Xia Kening on the head: "Don't touch other people's phones like that. It's only because I have a good temper that I won't beat you up." "Oh, brother is the best." Xia Kening hugged his arm and shook it, giggling and acting coquettishly, "I'm your cousin, so what's wrong with helping you test your future sister-in-law's cooking skills?"
Song Yunshen couldn't stand her strained voice, so he quickly pushed her away. Just then, his phone vibrated again. He immediately opened WeChat and glanced at it, then showed a somewhat surprised expression.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Okay, scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I can make that. What does Yunshen want to eat?
hiss...
He wasn't angry at all? What's the logic behind that?
Song Yunshen looked on in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Xia Kening's phone in her pocket had turned into a vibrator, vibrating wildly incessantly.
She coughed, got up and walked towards the bathroom, saying to Song Yunshen, "I'm going to use the restroom."
After saying that, Xia Kening dashed into the bathroom, took out her phone and saw that, as expected, it was a barrage of messages from Xia Yunuo.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Are you sick? Are you doing this on purpose?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: You got up before six in the morning and have been playing until now, at least three hours. Isn't that enough?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: And why did you look at my chat history with Song Yunshen? I'm really going to get angry. [ Xia Yunuo ]: If I see you still with him at noon, I'll beat you up tonight.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: It's been too long since I taught you a lesson. I see you've gotten bolder lately, haven't you?
[ Xia Yunuo ]: I'll let you play until 10 o'clock at most, then you should hurry home. Your older sister is waiting for you to have lunch together; she's already bought the groceries.
Upon seeing this series of messages, Xia Kening immediately realized that her second sister was truly angry this time.
After all, they were sisters who grew up together, so Xia Kening knew perfectly well whether she was angry or not.
For example, Xia Yunuo is usually quite quiet if she's not angry, but once she enters her talkative mode and says a lot of things in one breath, it means she's really angry.
The number of words spoken determines Xia Yunuo's anger level; the more words spoken, the higher the anger level.
Unlike Xia Jinshu, who became calmer and spoke less the angrier she got, Xia Yunuo was the complete opposite.
However, Xia Jinshu is still quite rational when she's angry. As long as Xia Kening reasons with her, apologizes sincerely, and actively corrects her mistakes, there won't be any punishment.
Xia Yunuo is a bit different; when she gets angry, she really will hit someone.
Although she hasn't been beaten much since starting junior high, she still vividly remembers the beatings she received in elementary school.
Just reading the long string of text Xia Kening sent made Xia Yunuo's little bottom ache slightly, and she quickly replied. [ Xia Kening ]: Oh dear, I was wrong, sis~ I was just joking, I'm coming back now, right away! Right away!
Xia Kening readily admitted defeat, and after sending the message, she came out of the bathroom and returned to the study.
Just then, Song Yunshen finished ordering two dishes. Seeing Xia Kening return, he was waiting for her to sit down so he could put her feet in his lap, but then he heard Xia Kening say, "Then I'll go back first."
"Huh?" Song Yunshen was taken aback for a moment, then looked puzzled. "Didn't you say you were going to stay for dinner?"
"Oh, I was just kidding," Xia Kening waved her hand dismissively. "How could I really disturb your time together? If she wants to buy groceries, you can go keep her company. I'm going home now."
"What do you mean by 'just the two of us'?" Song Yunshen rolled his eyes at her. "So, according to you, our whole morning has been 'just the two of us'?"
"Hmph, if that counts, then you're a two-timing scumbag." Xia Kening snorted and lightly kicked him. "I'll go straight to Teacher Ruan and expose you, let her give you a good scolding."
"Alright, alright." Song Yunshen glanced at her feet, then stood up and said, "Are you sure you want to go back now? Then I'll give you a ride home."
"Okay." Xia Kening nodded. She hadn't ridden on Song Yunshen's electric scooter in a long time, so she readily agreed.
The two tidied themselves up quickly and then went downstairs.
Song Yunshen replied to Xia Yunuo's message, saying that he would take his cousin home first and then pick her up.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Huh? Isn't your sister staying for lunch? [ Song Yunshen ]: She said she was just joking and wouldn't disturb our time together.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: There's no time for just the two of us...
[ Song Yunshen ]: Haha, that's what she said. Go find her and settle the score.
[ Xia Yunuo ]: Let's meet at the breakfast shop entrance then. I've already set off.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Okay, no problem.
Song Yunshen knew that Xia Yunuo was afraid that if he found out that she also lived in the Tangning New Residence East District, he would associate her with Xia Kening, so he still chose to meet at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
He didn't mind. After going downstairs, he took Xia Kening to the bike shed and rode his electric bike.
Xia Kening followed to the electric scooter, tried to lift her hips onto the back seat, then pouted in frustration, slapped Song Yunshen's back twice in annoyance, and said irritably, "You get off first, I can't get on, let me sit first."
Song Yunshen then remembered that this guy had short legs. So he had no choice but to give up his seat and wait for Xia Kening to move from the front to the back seat before he could get back on the electric scooter.
" Little Brat are just Little Brat, making such a fuss over something as simple as riding an electric scooter," Song Yunshen chuckled.
"Just you wait, see how I'll torment you next time we switch places," Xia Kening said angrily.
However, once the car started moving, she immediately wrapped her arms around Song Yunshen's lower back, pressing her entire body against him without any hesitation. But in reality, she couldn't press her entire upper body against him like Xia Yunuo could; she would bounce back as soon as she touched half of him.
Song Yunshen felt an unprecedented pressure on his back, and his spine straightened instantly.
Having gotten used to driving Xia Yunuo to and from school every day, and then driving Xia Jinshu to buy groceries, suddenly driving Xia Kening again felt completely different.
They're completely different now.
Song Yunshen rode his electric bike from the West District of Tangning New Residence to the east side of the East District gate, dropping Xia Kening off at the foot of Building 17 before stopping.
Xia Kening patted his shoulder, signaling him to move aside, and then transformed into a caterpillar, wriggling and swaying to the front seat, stepping on the footrest before successfully jumping off the electric scooter.
"I'll head back now, bye-bye." Xia Kening waved to him, turned, and walked into the apartment building. "I'll come to your place tonight."
"Okay, I'm off now." Song Yunshen watched her walk into the apartment building, then got back on his electric scooter and headed towards the breakfast shop.
