Saturday morning, August 16th.
Xia Yunuo woke up promptly at 6 o'clock, yawned slightly, took out her phone to check the time, and then couldn't wait to send Song Yunshen a cute "Good morning" emoji.
Before getting up, Xia Yunuo rubbed the head of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the bedside table, then hugged it and rubbed it for a while before putting it back down and getting out of bed.
She first went to the bathroom, washed and rinsed herself thoroughly, tidied her hair in front of the mirror, and only after confirming that everything was alright did she return to her room and take out the new clothes she had washed earlier from the closet.
While she was changing clothes, Xia Jinshu, who was on the bed, was awakened by her movements. She opened her eyes groggily and saw that her younger sister had changed into a particularly beautiful dress. She suddenly became more energetic.
" Xiao Nuo? Where did you get your new clothes?"
Xia Yunuo hadn't expected to wake her sister. Her body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and whispered, "I just bought it a few days ago."
"She's quite pretty." Xia Jinshu narrowed her eyes. "Getting up so early, are you going to the library with your classmates?"
"Yes." Xia Yunuo a little guilty and subconsciously smoothed her hair behind her ear before putting on a long-sleeved knitted cardigan to cover her tank top.
"I'm going to sleep a little longer. Be careful on the road." Xia Jinshu didn't say much, glanced at her sister's new clothes, and then closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
Of course she knew that Xia Yunuo wasn't going to the library; dressed so nicely, she must be going to see Song Yunshen again. She sighed inwardly, thinking of her school uniform, the black stockings she hadn't worn, and the outfit that had been lying in her shopping cart for days, and certain thoughts resurfaced.
Xia Yunuo quickly grabbed her schoolbag, left her bedroom, tiptoed through the living room, and arrived at the front door without waking Yan Zhenxia and Xia Kening, who were sleeping in the living room. She changed her shoes smoothly and turned to leave the house.
At around 6 a. m., there were hardly any people in the neighborhood.
Wearing this dress, Xia Yunuo walked down the street. Although the temperature was not low, she still felt a chill on her lower body and kept subconsciously tugging at the hem of the dress, wanting to pull it down a bit.
To be honest, in her memory, she had never worn anything so short before.
She might have worn it when she was very young, but Xia Yunuo has few memories of that time.
Ever since she can remember, she has mostly worn long pants.
The light blue dress she's been wearing a lot lately was picked out for her by her older and younger sisters when the family rarely went out shopping together. Otherwise, given her own habits, she would almost never buy a dress.
Wearing this for the first time, with almost her entire long legs exposed, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for the leggings underneath, she would have been too embarrassed to even take a step.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at Song Yunshen's building. Xia Yunuo took the elevator to the 18th floor and arrived at Song Yunshen's door.
Looking at his front door, Xia Yunuo took a deep breath, feeling a surge of nervousness.
Even though it wasn't her first time at his house, the thought of her new outfit today made her eagerly anticipate Song Yunshen's reaction when he saw her. What if he didn't like it?
Xia Yunuo was a little worried, and quickly looked down at her clothes, then reached out and tugged at the hem of her skirt.
After calming herself down, she took out a pair of navy blue slippers from the shoe cabinet, put them on, entered her personal password, and walked into Song Yunshen's house.
After putting her schoolbag on the sofa, Xia Yunuo didn't go to Song Yunshen's bedroom immediately. Instead, she went to the bathroom first and tidied her hair in front of the mirror.
After tidying up, she took a few steps back, turned around in front of the mirror to make sure everything was alright, then took a deep breath and turned to walk towards Song Yunshen's bedroom.
This time, unlike the first time she came to wake Song Yunshen, she didn't hesitate at the door for a long time about whether to knock or not. She simply reached out and turned the doorknob, quietly slipping into Song Yunshen's bedroom without waking him up.
The bedroom was quiet. Xia Yunuo quietly came to Song Yunshen's bedside, first squatted down and admired him sleeping for a while, then stood up and wanted to sit on the bedside.
Song Yunshen's bed is very large, a double bed that is 1.8 meters wide. He usually sleeps in the middle of the bed, so there is plenty of space around the bed, so there is no need to worry about not having enough room to sit.
Xia Yunuo moved very carefully, sitting down slowly, as if afraid of accidentally waking Song Yunshen.
She clearly came to wake Song Yunshen up.
Xia Yunuo knew this too, but she pretended to have forgotten it and secretly reached out to gently touch the back of Song Yunshen.
Seeing that he didn't react, she stealthily touched his arm like a little mouse stealing cheese, curiously stroking the hairs on his arm. Song Yunshen, who was fast asleep, only felt a little itchy on his arm, and his left hand subconsciously scratched his right arm, which startled Xia Yunuo, who quickly pulled her hand back.
Confirming that he hadn't woken up, Xia Yunuo grew bolder. She turned around and simply knelt down on the bed, bringing her head close to Song Yunshen's face and secretly touching his cheek.
There are plenty of handsome boys in school, but the longer Xia Yunuo looks at Song Yunshen, the more she feels that he is more handsome than the other boys.
At this moment, her fingers gently touched Song Yunshen's forehead, then fell on his thick, messy eyebrows.
He clearly didn't have the habit of grooming his eyebrows; they were thick and arched high, which always made his eyes appear more profound. When Song Yunshen stared at her, Xia Yunuo would unconsciously look away, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.
Xia Yunuo followed his eyebrows, her fingers then moved to the tip of his nose, tracing his straight nose. Her gaze, however, fell on Song Yunshen's lips. She blinked guiltily, then immediately looked away, her small hand touching his jawline.
Song Yunshen's jawline is sharp and clean, with natural lines and distinct angles, yet it doesn't have a strong sense of aggression. Especially when he smiles, he always makes people unconsciously want to believe him.
Xia Yunuo rarely admired Song Yunshen's face so closely as she did now. Even though her face was burning hot and her heart was pounding like a drum, she still mustered up her courage and secretly stroked it.
Song Yunshen often pinches her cheeks, and she actually wants to pinch Song Yunshen's cheeks too, but she's always been too shy.
Finally seizing the opportunity, Xia Yunuo, seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, stretched out two fingers and gently pinched Song Yunshen's face.
hey-hey.
Song Yun Song Yunshen, whose cheeks were being pinched, actually looked kind of cute. Xia Yunuo thought to herself, and then felt the sensation of pinching his cheeks again, finding it wonderful.
But just then, Song Yunshen frowned, raised his hand in his sleep, and scratched his face.
Xia Yunuo quickly withdrew her hand, her heart pounding, feeling extremely excited, and she immediately held her breath.
Song Yunshen was still unconscious. After scratching his face, he put his right hand down again, and by sheer coincidence, it landed on Xia Yunuo's thigh.
At this moment, Xia Yunuo was kneeling on the ground, her dress only covering half of her thigh, while Song Yunshen's right hand was resting on the exposed half of her thigh.
Xia Yunuo felt the heat of his palm, and her whole body stiffened, not daring to move.
She lowered her head and saw Song Yunshen placing his hand on her thigh. She wanted to reach out and move his hand away, but for some inexplicable reason, she didn't move and just let Song Yunshen leave it there.
But Song Yunshen was dreaming.
He dreamed that he went on a date with Xia Yunuo and they went shopping together.
First, Xia Yunuo picked out a new outfit for him and made him change into it. While he was changing, Xia Yunuo even touched his body from time to time, behaving in a very ambiguous way.
After buying a new outfit, it was Song Yunshen's turn to choose one for Xia Yunuo.
They walked into a women's clothing store. Song Yunshen looked at the dazzling array of clothes in front of him, picking and choosing, occasionally running his hand over the fabric. It was quite smooth.
It feels really good.
In his dream, Song Yunshen was stroking the fabric, but in reality, he was stroking Xia Yunuo's thigh.
Xia Yunuo felt weak all over from his touch, her cheeks flushed, but she did not stop him. It wasn't until Song Yunshen further and his right hand started to penetrate her that Xia Yunuo suddenly jolted and quickly pried his thieving hand away.
"Um?"
Song Yunshen made a sound, groggily opened his eyes, and finally woke up from his sweet dream.
"You're awake." Seeing him open his eyes, Xia Yunuo greeted him with a blush, then quickly turned to get out of bed. "Get up quickly, I'll wait for you in the living room."
"Etc."
Song Yunshen instantly snapped out of his daze, reached out and grabbed Xia Yunuo's wrist, pulling her back onto the bed.
"W-What's wrong?" Xia Yunuo looked guilty, thinking that Song Yunshen had noticed something, and her heart was pounding.
But Song Yunshen didn't speak. He just blinked twice to snap himself out of his waking-up state and become more awake. Then he looked Song Yun Shen up and down.
Perhaps just looking wasn't enough, Song Yunshen suddenly sat up, flipped off the bed, and pulled Xia Yunuo down with him. After he steadied himself, he took two steps back and continued to admire the dress. The French-style tulle cake dress had a tiered, cake-like hem with delicate ruffles, full yet not bulky, perfectly accentuating Xia Yunuo's slender waist and long, delicate legs.
Song Yunshen looked from top to bottom, his gaze finally settling on Xia Yunuo's legs.
Xia Yunuo's legs are different from her sisters'; they always give people a delicate and refined feeling. Although they are all white, they reveal a jade-white color like porcelain.
Song Yunshen felt that this was not enough, so he reached out and pulled back the curtains, letting the morning sunlight shine in and fall on Xia Yunuo's delicate legs.
Thus, the porcelain white color that was originally visible against the dark background, under the sunlight, revealed a frosty white color like snow-capped mountains and icy springs, like the unmelted snow in early spring, as if it could be crushed with a gentle touch, making one reluctant to use force.
As Song Yunshen admired the view, he also recalled Xia Jinshu and Xia Kening's legs.
In contrast, Xia Jinshu's legs were also very white, as white as snow, but more like fluffy snow, or soft clouds on the horizon, or even cotton wool dried in the sun, as if your fingers would sink into it if you just grabbed it lightly.
Xia Kening, on the other hand, gives off a different vibe. Her legs are more fleshy, and her skin is as white as milk, like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg, with a hint of pink, like a white jasmine bud about to bloom.
Xia Yunuo stood to the side, head down, not daring to meet Song Yunshen's gaze, but occasionally she would raise her head and steal a glance at his eyes.
Seeing that he was staring at her legs, she rubbed her thighs a little awkwardly, still feeling the warmth of Song Yunshen's touch.
"How much longer?" Xia Yunuo finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice after seeing that he hadn't said a word.
Song Yunshen snapped out of his reverie, coughed twice, and then said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, I was completely mesmerized." A simple compliment, but enough to make the young girl's heart bloom.
Xia Yunuo pursed her lips, her heart pounding with excitement, but she tried hard to keep her expression in check. "Okay, stop looking now, go wash up."
"Okay, okay." Song Yunshen nodded, reluctantly turning away and heading towards the bathroom.
Xia Yunuo followed behind him, and when she saw him go into the bathroom, she went to the living room to wait for him.
After entering the bathroom, Song Yunshen first washed his face, then started brushing his teeth. While brushing, he stared at himself in the mirror, recalling the scene from earlier, and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
Thankfully, letting Xia Yunuo wait until Saturday to wear the new clothes was definitely the right decision.
After washing up, Song Yunshen came out of the bathroom and said to Xia Yunuo, "Let's go downstairs and have some breakfast."
Xia Yunuo, who had been waiting patiently for him in the living room, immediately got up and followed him.
As soon as the two stepped out, they bumped into their uncle and aunt, who were waiting for the elevator.
"Yo, good morning." Zhao Zeheng glanced at Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo behind him. He was already used to this scene and felt no emotion at all. He casually greeted them.
Xia Yunuo blushed slightly and greeted her uncle and aunt in a low voice.
Song Yunshen wasn't embarrassed at all. He walked forward with a smile, greeted her, and then said to Ruan Zheng, "Auntie, we won't be having lunch today. We just wanted to let you know in advance." "Okay," Ruan Zheng replied, and then stepped into the elevator first.
The four of them set off together and soon arrived at the breakfast shop, where they found a table and sat down.
While eating breakfast, Zhao Zeheng said to Song Yunshen, "After Yingying finishes her class this afternoon, your aunt and I will take her to the hospital to visit your father. Do you want to come along?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yunshen raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it a bit unnecessary? He's perfectly comfortable in the hospital, why bother visiting him?"
Zhao Zeheng chuckled and shook his head, "It was one thing for him to keep it from us before, but now that we all know, we should at least give him a proper visit. So, just tell me if you're going or not."
"How about we go after lunch?" Song Yunshen suggested. "And don't let Yingying come along; she should stay home and attend classes quietly."
"Are you trying to make me lose two hours of sleep?" Zhao Zeheng rolled his eyes at him. "Are you sure you want to go after lunch?"
"Yes." Song Yunshen nodded.
"That's fine then." Zhao Zeheng nodded, then turned to his wife and said, "Then wake me up for lunch."
After breakfast, Song Yunshen took Xia Yunuo home, washed some fruit in the kitchen, and then the two went to the sofa in the living room.
" Celia Celia, turn on movie mode," Xia Yunuo said naturally to the speaker on the table. The living room curtains slowly closed, and the lights dimmed.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo sat down on the sofa, and Xia Yunuo picked up the remote control and began searching for the remote she had specially chosen last night.
"The Ring?" Song Yunshen raised an eyebrow upon seeing the movie's title, turning to Xia Yunuo with some surprise. "Are you sure you want to watch a horror movie?"
"Aren't you going to watch?" Xia Yunuo asked softly.
"I don't mind," Song Yunshen said with a smile, "I'm just worried you're too scared."
"It's okay, you're here with me." Xia Yunuo said, looking down.
"Then let's see."
Click to start watching the full movie, "The Ring".
This is a classic horror movie, but the two of them are quite young. Although they had heard of the movie, they had never actually seen it.
One of the most classic elements is that Sadako crawls out of the television.
As the plot unfolds, the two quickly become engrossed in the story.
At first, the two sat shoulder to shoulder, watching the movie and eating fruit. As the movie plot got more interesting and the horror elements began to affect their emotions, Xia Yunuo subconsciously grabbed Song Yunshen's arm and leaned against his shoulder.
As the movie progressed to the middle, a close-up of Sadako's eyes flashed by, startling Xia Yunuo so much that she trembled.
Seeing Song Yunshen silently raised his left hand, gently placed it on Xia Yunuo's shoulder, and pulled her into his arms.
Xia Yunuo didn't think much of it and snuggled closer to him. Only after gaining some sense of security did she dare to continue reading.
As the movie nears its end, the protagonist successfully finds Sadako's remains, thinking everything is over. However, the helper he hired dies again seven days later, succumbing to Sadako's curse.
Xia Yunuo was startled and huddled in Song Yunshen's arms, looking like she wanted to look but dared not. Her feet had somehow tucked up onto the sofa, and she was curled up in a ball, held in Song Yunshen's arms.
As the movie drew to a close and the story finally ended, the two slowly came to their senses, and Xia Yunuo realized that she had actually been completely leaning against Song Yunshen's chest.
She wanted to lean on him a little longer, but Song Yunshen had already withdrawn his hand.
After all, it was understandable that she hugged me during the movie because I was too scared, but now that the movie is over, it's not appropriate to continue hugging me.
Song Yunshen coughed, stood up, and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Just as he was about to leave, Xia Yunuo grabbed his wrist. He turned back to look at Xia Yunuo and saw her blushing, muttering softly, "No, I'm scared of the TV now. Please don't go."
