After leaving the hospital and getting into a taxi, Song Yunshen transferred 50 yuan to Xia Kening.
Xia Kening rolled her eyes at him after receiving the stolen money. "You really only gave me 50?"
"What? How many do you want?" Song Yunshen asked with a smile.
"50 it is..." Xia Kening pouted, but she was actually quite happy inside, after all, 50 yuan was a huge sum of money for her.
After working hard for a month, I only earned 800 yuan from Song Yunshen.
If Song Yunshen really gave her 500 yuan all at once, she would feel a little embarrassed to take it.
After all, the origin of this money was somewhat dubious, and it felt a bit like it was obtained through fraud. Besides, Uncle Song was only giving it to his son as pocket money; she wasn't Song Yunshen himself, so how could she possibly take more?
I'd be lucky to get 50 yuan as a reward for my hard work.
One shouldn't be too greedy.
As for why Song Yunshen only gave 50 yuan?
It wasn't that he was stingy; he just knew Xia Kening's temper very well. This girl used to be the type to charge him 2.5 yuan just for buying a couple's mug. It's only now that they've gotten to know each other well that she doesn't mind occasionally mooching his breakfast and snacks.
But if you give her more than that, Xia Kening will immediately get angry.
They might even feel disrespected by her.
This is based on a different logic than the last time when Xia Yunuo received 500 yuan.
After all, it was Sister Xuanxuan who took the initiative to invite them to dinner that time, and Xia Yunuo did offer some good suggestions that actually worked, so splitting the bill 50/50 was reasonable.
After returning to the Tangning New Residence West District, Song Yunshen did not go directly to Xia Kening's house after getting out of the car, but instead went back to his own home with her.
The two went upstairs together to wash the lunchboxes, and after tidying up, they returned to the study to start playing games.
At this moment, Xia Kening looked at the environment in the study and recalled the scene of her older sister giving her lessons. She couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"By the way, I have a question I want to ask you," Xia Kening suddenly asked him.
"What?" Song Yunshen looked puzzled.
"Why do I always feel like my older sister is being a little too nice to you?" Xia Kening couldn't help but ask, "Are you two really just in a normal tutor-student relationship?"
"What else could our relationship be?" Song Yunshen said speechlessly. "But you could also say we're senior and junior; she's only one year ahead of me." "Who cares about senior and junior?" Xia Kening pouted and continued to press, "She heard you twisted your wrist and was really worried when we met. She even held my hand and looked at it for a long time. Is that normal?"
"Isn't it normal for a teacher to care about their students?" Song Yunshen, his face full of indignation. "Isn't it your own thinking that's so corrupt?"
"Bullshit!" Xia Kening retorted, then immediately added, "Then what about during class? She's always so serious when she's teaching me at home, why is she so gentle when she's teaching you?"
"Are you going to pay?" Song Yunshen chuckled. "This lesson costs 100 yuan. Next time your sister helps you with a problem, you should pay her first too. Maybe she'll be nicer to you then."
"My sister isn't as superficial as you say." Xia Kening was still a little skeptical. "Then why does she still cook dinner for Uncle Song? It's one thing to cook once, but why does she cook every day?"
"Because my dad will also give her a bonus," Song Yunshen explained. "My dad promised her that if my English score improves by 10 points at the start of the semester, he'll give her an extra 1000 yuan bonus. If I get a perfect score, that's 6000 yuan, okay?"
"You think you can get away with this? A perfect score?" Xia Kening couldn't help but retort.
But then she thought again, even if it wasn't a perfect score, as long as Song Yunshen got 100 points, wouldn't her older sister get an extra 1000 yuan in bonus?
No wonder she cooks dinner for Uncle Song every day.
After hearing what Song Yunshen said, Xia Kening could understand her older sister's actions.
Xia Jinshu really had a tough time earning more money for her family.
"Then you're not allowed to bully my sister, okay? She's been enduring so much hardship, you have to treat her better." Xia Kening was a little touched, thinking that Xia Jinshu was really only doing this for money. "What do you mean by enduring hardship? I haven't mistreated her." Song Yunshen said irritably, "Don't talk like she suffered so much grievances coming to my house as a tutor."
"Well, I was worried you'd take advantage of her," Xia Kening scoffed. "What if you tried to blackmail her with her salary?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Song Yunshen rolled his eyes at her.
"Who knows? As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. What if you suddenly become a beast one day?" Xia Kening certainly didn't doubt Song Yunshen; she just teased him with a smile.
"Then I'll really unleash my beastly instincts and let you replace your eldest sister," Song Yunshen chuckled. "Consider it you making a contribution to your eldest sister."
"Get lost! You wish!" Xia Kening couldn't help but kick him.
"Ouch..." Song Yunshen winced in pain and couldn't help but curse, "You're using my body right now! Do you want to kick yourself to death?"
"Uh... sorry, sorry..." Xia Kening said awkwardly in a low voice, "I forgot."
After discussing this topic, the two started playing games.
Around 8 p. m., Song Yunshen logged out of the game, shut down his computer, and got up to go back to Xia Kening's house.
Xia Kening saw Song Yunshen to the door. As she watched her body about to leave, she felt a little strange, wondering if this was how she usually felt when Song Yunshen saw her off.
However, before Song Yunshen left, Xia Kening couldn't help but remind him, "When you stay at my house tonight, you mustn't do anything inappropriate." "How can I do anything inappropriate? It's just sleeping, isn't it?" Song Yunshen said casually.
"Don't play dumb with me!" Xia Kening said irritably, "You're not allowed to touch my mother when you're sleeping tonight."
"Who would want to touch me? I'm not that perverted." Song Yunshen was speechless.
"And you're not allowed to shower with my mom and sister either!" Xia Kening added, "And also, you can't peek at them when they go to the toilet, and you can't watch them change clothes!"
Song Yunshen: "???" "Am I that kind of person?!"
"Whether you are or not, you know it in your heart." Xia Kening crossed her arms and hummed.
Song Yunshen felt a little guilty after hearing what he said, since he had almost seen Xia Yunuo going to the toilet when he woke up this morning.
This afternoon, he actually saw Xia Jinshu change her clothes with his own eyes.
He even secretly hoped that Xia Jinshu or Xia Yunuo would invite him to take a bath together. Should he accept, or not?
As a result, Xia Kening refused to allow any of them.
That's really stingy.
As Song Yunshen was thinking this, he suddenly realized a problem. Xia Kening didn't seem to have any rules against him taking a bath, did she?
Previously, when he took a bath with Xia Kening's body, he had to close his eyes, video chat with her on his phone, and let her supervise him.
Surprisingly, this topic wasn't mentioned at all today.
Song Yunshen's expression was strange, but he didn't remind her. He simply agreed to her request, stepped into the elevator, and waved goodbye to her.
He didn't have anything to tell him.
After all, he usually keeps his Future Diary and his own diary in a locked drawer, and he hides the key deep inside the bookcase.
Given Xia Kening's personality—she wouldn't even peek at his WeChat chat history—it's highly unlikely she would specifically go looking for his drawer key.
Aside from his diary, Song Yunshen had nothing else to hide.
After taking the elevator downstairs, he walked straight towards Tangning New Residence East District.
Arriving at the Xia family's door a few minutes later, Song Yunshen entered the password, pushed the door open, and entered. Yan Zhenxia was typing on the keyboard at the dining table in the living room, heard the noise and peeked at her youngest daughter at the door. "You're back?"
"Hmm." Song Yunshen responded, changed into slippers, went straight to the bedside, and lay down.
Having chatted with Xia Kening so much late into the night, Song Yunshen knew exactly what she did at home: lying in bed scrolling through her phone. There was no need to worry about her giving herself away. Yan Zhenxia didn't pay him any attention and continued writing her short drama.
At 9 p. m., Xia Jinshu suddenly came out of her bedroom and said to Yan Zhenxia, "Mom, I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later."
"Okay, go ahead." Yan Zhenxia was used to her eldest daughter going out for a walk every night, and waved her hand, saying, "Be careful."
Xia Jinshu responded and walked towards her front door.
Song Yunshen, who was lying on the bed playing on his phone, was startled when he saw this scene. He then remembered that there was such a thing and quickly opened WeChat to notify Xia Kening.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Quick, quick, let's switch our WeChat back first!
[ Xia Kening ]: What's wrong now?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I forgot to tell you earlier, I have to have a WeChat call with Xia Jinshu every night at 9 pm. [ Xia Kening ]:???
[ Xia Kening ]: What the heck?!
[ Xia Kening ]: My sister goes out for a walk every night just to call you?!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Otherwise, wouldn't she be bored?
[ Xia Kening ]: What's going on between you two? Didn't you just say you were just a tutor and student?! [ Song Yunshen ]: You're overthinking it. She's just supervising me as I memorize vocabulary.
[ Xia Kening ]: Huh?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Anyway, you should prepare first. When she calls you on WeChat later, just take out the vocabulary words she gave you in class today and memorize them for half an hour.
[ Xia Kening ]: I'm really impressed by you! I wanted to play on the computer a little longer!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Stop talking nonsense and change your number.
[ Xia Kening ]: Okay.
The two exchanged WeChat. Xia Kening had only logged in a short while ago when she immediately received WeChat call from Xia Jinshu.
Xia Kening's lips twitched slightly; she hadn't expected that her older sister's nightly walks were for this reason.
They're really working hard to earn the prize money.
She sighed, clicked the call button, chatted with Xia Jinshu for a few minutes, and then entered the memorization mode as Song Yunshen requested.
Meanwhile, Song Yunshen breathed a slight sigh of relief after changing his WeChat.
Luckily, he reacted quickly. If Xia Jinshu had called and he had answered, only to hear her own sister's voice, that would have been incredibly embarrassing.
No matter how you explain it, it won't make sense at that point.
Now that this matter was settled, Song Yunshen completely relaxed. He lay on the bed and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, still thinking about taking a shower tonight.
Although Xia Kening had explicitly forbidden him from bathing with her two older sisters, he couldn't very well refuse if Xia Jinshu or Xia Yunuo a warm invitation.
However, he only thought about it; he couldn't bring himself to actually drag his two older sisters Xia Kening, to take a bath together.
Forget it, let's just enjoy Xia Kening's body for now.
Song Yunshen looked down at his chest, his heart pounding faster.
Just then, Yan Zhenxia, who was writing a short drama, suddenly stretched, closed her notebook, and got up to walk towards the bathroom.
Halfway through the walk, Yan Zhenxia suddenly remembered something and turned to her youngest daughter on the bed, asking, "It's been so long since I've scrubbed my back, Ningning, do you want to come wash with me? Help Mommy scrub your back."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunshen was stunned, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face, his mind going blank for a moment.
What the heck?
Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo hadn't even invited him to take a bath together yet, so why did Aunt Yan invite him first? Song Yunshen wanted to refuse, but couldn't think of a good reason for the moment, and he was completely embarrassed.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in their house was only so-so. Xia Yunuo, who was doing her homework in her bedroom at the time, also heard what Yan Zhenxia was saying outside the door.
At first, she didn't react, but then she suddenly remembered that Song Yunshen was still inside her younger sister's body, so she instantly stood up from her seat and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.
"Mom!" Xia Yunuo exclaimed, "I... I haven't had my back scrubbed in ages, how about I help you?"
"Sure," Yan Zhenxia said with a smile, "It's perfect that we're all together. Ningning come too."
Xia Yunuo: "???"
Song Yunshen: "!!!"
May I?
Is it really possible?
[Isn't that a great idea? I think it makes perfect sense; I'm pretty good at scrubbing backs!]
Upon hearing Song Yunshen Yun Shen's thoughts, Xia Yunuo's cheeks flushed red. She quickly turned her back and hurried towards the bathroom, then exclaimed, "Isn't it unnecessary? The bathroom isn't very big; it's too crowded for three people!"
Song Yunshen hearing Xia Yunuo's words, Song Yunshen's face immediately showed disappointment. Damn it!
What's wrong with squeezing it in?
[Nono's so small, where would she be crowded?]
Xia Yunuo: "???"
Hearing Song Yunshen's thoughts again, Xia Yunuo couldn't help but grit her teeth, her little fists clenched tightly.
That scoundrel! What on earth is he thinking?!
Do you really want to peep at her while she's showering?
And where is she small? She's just not as big as her older and younger sisters!
Xia Yunuo grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could turn around and beat him up right away.
"Never mind, you guys go ahead and wash." Song Yunshen sighed, finally suppressing his desires, and waved his hand, saying, "I'll wash myself later."
"Alright then." Yan Zhenxia didn't insist and followed Xia Yunuo into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of dripping water came from inside, inspiring endless reverie. Song Yunshen couldn't stand the sound, so he quickly turned on the Douyin and turned the volume up to the maximum.
On the other side, when it was 9:30 and the recitation time was over, Xia Kening was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but tentatively ask Xia Jinshu on the other end:
I feel a little bad about troubling you like this every day.
Upon hearing this, Xia Jinshu across from her smiled and said, "What's the trouble? If you really feel bad, just work harder during the entrance exams and help me get more bonuses."
Upon hearing Xia Jinshu's words, Xia Kening immediately raised her eyebrows and nodded in agreement. "No problem, leave it to me!"
Judging from this, my eldest sister really came here solely to make money, without any other intentions. All she wants is for Song Yunshen to improve his English grades.
Xia Kening was deeply moved and even wanted to take Song Yunshen in their entrance exam.
She's not good at other subjects, but she excels at English.
She usually scores above 140 in English at school. Although the high school curriculum is more intensive, scoring 130 shouldn't be a problem, right?
If you calculate it that way, wouldn't the eldest sister get a 4,000 yuan bonus? That's more than a month's salary!
But then again, Xia Kening suddenly realized something. She seemed to have made a bet with Song Yunshen: if he scored over 100 on his English exam at the start of the semester, she would have to cook for him and help him with CS. Wouldn't that be letting this scoundrel get away with it?
Oh well, forget it, making money is more important for my older sister. Let him have it cheap.
Thinking this, Xia Kening prepared to hang up the phone.
But Xia Jinshu, who was on the other end of the line, suddenly said, "Let's call it a day then, goodnight."
What the heck?
When Xia Kening heard her older sister say "goodnight," she froze for a moment, standing there motionless for a long time.
Do private tutors really say goodnight to their students?!
Something still feels off!
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xia Jinshu asked in confusion from the opposite side, "Is the signal not very good?"
"Um... a little..." Xia Kening quickly replied, then gritted her teeth and said, "Goodnight, senior."
"Mmm," Xia Jinshu responded gently in a soft voice, "Goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Kening leaned back in her chair, let out a long sigh, and her expression was quite complicated. Could it be that her eldest sister had gone to such lengths to make money?
She actually took the initiative to say goodnight to a boy!
Although she says goodnight to Song Yunshen every day, they are good friends now, so it's normal for her to say that, especially since it's just text messages on WeChat.
Unlike Xia Jinshu, who actually said it directly over the phone.
Xia Kening shook her head helplessly, telling herself not to think about it anymore. She got up and walked towards the bathroom, intending to take a shower to calm down.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
When Xia Jinshu returned home, Yan Zhenxia and Xia Yunuo had just finished showering and were coming out of the bathroom.
At this moment, Xia Yunuo had already dried Yan Zhenxia's hair in the bathroom. But when Yan Zhenxia was about to help her dry her hair, Xia Yunuo shook her head and declined, then took the hairdryer to the bedside in the living room and threw it into Song Yunshen's arms.
" Ningning, can you blow on it for me?"
