August 18th, 7:00 AM.
Xia Kening was suddenly awakened by the sound of an alarm clock. She groggily opened her eyes and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
When she touched her phone, she found it wasn't vibrating, and suddenly realized that it wasn't the weekend, so she shouldn't have set an alarm for the morning.
The next second, the somewhat noisy alarm clock stopped.
Xia Kening turned her head in confusion and looked to the side.
When she saw Xia Yunuo sitting up in bed with a dazed expression, she was immediately shocked, her pupils dilated, and her mind went blank.
"Second sister?! You..." Xia Kening blurted out subconsciously, but then suddenly remembered the soul swap she had with Song Yunshen yesterday, so she quickly swallowed the rest of her words.
Xia Yunuo turned to look at Xia Kening, a slightly puzzled expression on her face. "What's wrong?"
She didn't hear Song Yunshen thoughts, knowing that her little sister had already returned, but the act still had to continue.
"N-nothing..." Xia Kening shook her head, pulled the blanket over her head, and said, "I'm going to sleep a little longer."
"Oh." Xia Yunuo chuckled softly, then got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wash up before going out to find Song Yunshen to have breakfast together. Xia Kening heard Xia Yunuo go into the bathroom, and only after the bathroom door closed did she hurriedly throw off the covers and frantically tap on her phone screen.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Yunshen, woken up by his 7 o'clock alarm, rubbed his temples with a headache, sat up in bed, shook his head, and wondered why he felt particularly sleepy today.
Since he started having breakfast with either Xia Yunuo or Xia Kening every morning, Song Yunshen's daily routine has become increasingly healthy.
Logically speaking, if you wake up at 7 o'clock, you shouldn't be too sleepy.
I woke up today feeling extremely tired.
Song Yunshen sensed something was wrong and immediately took out his phone to check the surveillance footage from last night. His face immediately darkened.
Surveillance footage from the living room and study showed that around 10 p. m. last night, he even left the bedroom and went to the study to continue playing games.
I glanced at the last time I went back to my room, and it turned out we'd been playing until after 1 a. m.!
This guy!
It's not her own body, so you're just going to ruin it like this?!
Song Yunshen himself hadn't stayed up all night playing games in a long time, but unexpectedly, Xia Kening got to enjoy it first.
Song Yunshen was speechless. Just as he was about to send a message to Xia Kening, his phone suddenly vibrated. [ Xia Kening ]: What's going on?! What exactly happened?! Why did you sleep with my second sister yesterday?! [ Xia Kening ]: What did you do last night?!
[ Xia Kening ]: Confess now, or I'll kill you!
[ Song Yunshen ]: What's your rush? This has nothing to do with me.
[ Xia Kening ]: So what exactly happened? I opened my eyes and suddenly saw my second sister next to me, it almost scared me to death.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Is Nuonuo a ghost? Is she that scary?
[ Xia Kening ]: So what exactly did you do yesterday? How did you manage to trick my second sister into bed?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Hey, hey, hey, you have no right to speak without investigation. If you don't know the specifics, don't make baseless accusations. How did it become that I tricked her into bed?
[ Xia Kening ]: Then why would she suddenly come to sleep in the living room? In our family, she's probably the one who least likes sleeping in the same bed with anyone. If you didn't lie to her, what else could it be?
[ Song Yunshen ]: You're overthinking it. She slept with me willingly.
[ Xia Kening ]: What are you saying! What kind of talk is that?! Even if it was consensual, it was her choice to sleep with me, what's it to you?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Yes, yes, you're right, it was definitely voluntary. I didn't say a word. I just came out of the shower yesterday and saw her lying on the bed in the living room. What could I do?
[ Xia Kening ]: And then? There has to be some reason, right? And what about my mother? [ Song Yunshen ]: Aunt Yan slept in your second sister's bed. She switched with your second sister.
[ Song Yunshen ]: As for the reason, it's all because of you.
[ Xia Kening ]: What does this have to do with me?
[ Song Yunshen ]: She switched places with Aunt Yan because she had something to say to you.
[ Xia Kening ]: Huh? What did she say?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I just mentioned that she was a tutor, nothing else.
[ Xia Kening ]: And then?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Then she said that now that she has money, she can give you some pocket money. Didn't I transfer 200 to you yesterday?
[ Xia Kening ]: Well, this has nothing to do with you, yet you still charged me 10 yuan for my trouble!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm just listening to your second sister's feelings on your behalf, so it's reasonable for me to accept 10 yuan.
[ Xia Kening ]: Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?
[ Song Yunshen ]: She was lying next to me last night. What if she suddenly peeked over if I was chatting with you on my phone the whole time? It's always good to be safe, right? [ Xia Kening ]: So you didn't do anything bad to my second sister yesterday, did you?
[ Song Yunshen ]: You're overthinking it, aren't you? I perfectly portrayed your character and didn't do anything out of line. If you don't believe me, go ask your sister yourself.
[ Xia Kening ]: Hmph, I'll reluctantly believe you this once.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Are you done asking?
[ Xia Kening ]: It's alright now.
[ Song Yunshen ]: If you're alright, then I'm in trouble.
[ Xia Kening ]: What?
[ Song Yunshen ]: What time did you finish playing games last night?
[ Xia Kening ]: I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap first, bye-bye.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Xia! Ke! Ning!
[ Xia Kening ]: I can't see it!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I think you're asking for trouble, aren't you? You didn't go to sleep until after 1 a. m. [ Xia Kening ]: Oh, it's just this once. We don't switch partners every day. What's wrong with letting me have some fun?
[ Song Yunshen ]: I'm so sleepy right now, and it's all your fault.
[ Xia Kening ]: Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Is an apology all it takes?
[ Xia Kening ]: So what else do you want?
Upon seeing her response, Song Yunshen clicked his tongue, unable to think of a better way to punish her for the time being.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Never mind, you can go back to sleep. I'll deal with you tonight.
After putting away his phone, Song Yunshen got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, changed his clothes, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and set off to find Xia Yunuo.
On the other side.
After washing up, Xia Yunuo came out of the bathroom and went to her bedroom to change into her school uniform. Then she returned to the living room, glanced at Xia Kening who was taking a nap, and then slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed to the breakfast shop.
As Xia Yunuo arrived at the breakfast shop, she happened to see Song Yunshen riding his electric scooter from the entrance of the residential area.
Seeing him park his electric scooter by the roadside, Xia Yunuo quickly went to greet him. But when she got close to Song Yunshen, she immediately stopped, subconsciously took a half step back, lowered her head shyly, and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. The thought that she and Song Yunshen had actually slept in the same bed last night made her very embarrassed.
Especially now that she sees Song Yunshen, and steals glances at his handsome face, she can't help but imagine Xia Kening's body, which was lying next to her last night, as resembling Song Yunshen.
Just thinking about it made her feel weak all over, and she became even more embarrassed, not daring to meet Song Yunshen's gaze.
Song Yunshen was also somewhat distracted at this moment. After getting off the electric bike, he looked at Xia Yunuo, who had her head down, and the scene from last night immediately flashed through his mind.
The thought that he had already shared a bed with this exceptionally beautiful girl made his body heat up. Yes, yes, that's the feeling.
Song Yunshen sigh of relief, feeling the vitality returning to his body. He could clearly sense that his natal weapon was calling to him.
Although I borrowed Xia Kening's body yesterday and saw many beautiful sights and experienced many wonderful things, a woman's body is completely different from a man's.
His soul was surging, but his physical body couldn't keep up, so he felt something was missing and something just didn't feel right.
Now that he's switched back, Song Yunshen can't help but sigh, thinking that his own body is indeed the best.
The two exchanged brief greetings, then tacitly walked into the breakfast shop together, silently burying the feelings they had had the previous night deep in their hearts.
After breakfast, Xia Yunuo sat on the back of Song Yunshen's electric scooter, hugging his waist tightly with both hands folded over her stomach.
After more than a month, the speed bumps had become almost useless. Xia Yunuo was now hugging Song Yunshen without any restraint, no longer needing the speed bumps as a cover. Just as Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo were leaving for school, at 7:30 in the morning, Xia Kening was woken up by Xia Jinshu and Yan Zhenxia, who were already up, and obediently ate breakfast at home.
After breakfast, Yan Zhenxia went to work, while Xia Jinshu took Xia Kening to the library to do her homework with her younger sister.
Xia Kening looked miserable as she took out her unfinished science homework, only to find that Song Yunshen had actually done quite a bit yesterday.
Yesterday's output is probably equivalent to her progress over three or four days.
Thinking about how hard Song Yunshen had helped her with her homework yesterday, Xia Kening couldn't help but chuckle to herself, feeling like she'd gotten a pretty good deal.
However, she immediately remembered that she had agreed to help Song Yunshen copy his homework, and a bitter face appeared on her face again.
I need to finish my summer homework first, and then I need to find time to help Song Yunshen copy his homework.
A major subject costs 100 yuan, and a minor subject costs 50 yuan. Why not make some money?
After studying until noon, Xia Kening returned home with Xia Jinshu.
After lunch, carrying her schoolbag, she went to Room 101, Building 10, Tangning New Residence East District to find Ruan Zheng for a math tutoring class.
During class, Xia Kening idly twirled the black pen in her hand, glanced at the time, and thought that her second sister must be teaching Yingying right now, with Song Yunshen sitting next to her.
The thought of her second sister having someone accompany her to class, while she could only miserably do math problems, filled Xia Kening with envy. After finally enduring two hours of this, Xia Kening immediately packed her schoolbag, said goodbye to Ruan Zheng, and ran home.
As a result, Xia Yunuo, who had also returned home, caught him again and dragged him into the bedroom to continue doing his homework.
Looking at Xia Yunuo beside her, Xia Kening couldn't help but think of what Song Yunshen had told her this morning.
The thought of her second sister sleeping in the same bed with Song Yunshen last night made Xia Kening's eyes look a little strange.
She still can't quite understand why her second sister insisted on sleeping with her last night and even talked about parenting.
Frankly speaking, things like tutoring and allowances are trivial matters; why not just discuss them casually at other times? Why wait until you're sleeping together to bring them up?
However, considering Xia Yunuo's usually awkward personality, Xia Kening felt relieved. Oh well, it was probably just her second sister having a brain fart.
Otherwise, it couldn't be that she realized she and Song Yunshen had swapped souls, could it?
Besides, if he really did realize it, there would be even less reason for him to come and sleep in the same bed with her.
Xia Kening shook her head, dismissing the guess from her mind and not dwelling on it further.
Around 4 p. m., Xia Kening followed Xia Yunuo into the kitchen to help with cooking.
Because Yan Zhenxia messaged that she would be back early today, they prepared dinner at 5 o'clock. After dinner, Xia Kening didn't want to be dragged into her bedroom by her older sister to do her homework, so she simply went out early and strolled around the convenience store first.
"Grandma~ Good evening!" Xia Kening greeted Song Yunshen's grandmother sweetly as soon as she entered the convenience store.
Grandma responded with a smile, clearly fond of the little girl Xia Kening, and handed her a bag of her favorite spicy snacks from the shelf.
During this time, Xia Kening had become quite familiar with Song Yunshen's grandparents. She didn't stand on ceremony with her grandmother, sweetly said thank you, and reached out to take the spicy strips.
At this moment, Gaogao, who was resting in the corner, also smelled Xia Kening's scent and immediately ran over with a fawning expression, rubbing against Xia Kening's calf in great enthusiasm.
Xia Kening unwrapped a spicy snack, popped one into her mouth, then squatted down to pat Gaogao's head, and said with a grin, " Gaogao is such a good girl, did you go for a walk today?"
Gaogao called out loudly twice, and the grandma behind the counter chimed in, "She was taken for a walk this morning, but not this evening."
"Then I'll take it for a walk," Xia Kening, pulling on the Gaogao around Gao Gao's neck and volunteering to her grandmother.
"Sure," Grandma nodded with a smile, not standing on ceremony. "Then you can go take a stroll over to the pavilion; Grandpa's probably playing chess there."
"Okay!" Xia Kening Xia Kening nodded in agreement, took Gaogao's dog leash and left the convenience store, strolling along the pebble path in the community, slowly walking towards the pavilion by the artificial lake.
She quickly arrived at the pavilion and found Song Yunshen's grandfather. She immediately led Gaogao to the chess table and greeted her grandfather.
Hearing the familiar voice, Song Qingen turned to look at Xia Kening, then glanced at Gaogao, and chuckled twice, " Ningning's here." The old man opposite looked at Xia Kening curiously and asked Song Qingen, "Your granddaughter? I don't think I've ever heard of you having a granddaughter?"
"My Shenshen friend also lives here," Song Qingen explained, then urged, "Hurry up and get off, don't dawdle."
"What's the rush?" The old man opposite rolled his eyes, continuing to play chess at his own unhurried pace. "Speaking of which, Yuejin told me he hasn't seen your Mingyuan at the company lately, saying he's taken a long leave?"
Xia Kening hadn't intended to interrupt, but hearing the two grandfathers talking about a topic she was familiar with, she subconsciously replied, "Uncle is sick."
Song Qingen, who was just about to mention that his son was going on a trip, was stunned when he suddenly heard Xia Kening say that.
The old man opposite him was also somewhat surprised and asked with concern, "Sick? What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Xia Kening didn't notice Song Qingen's expression and shook her head at the old man opposite her. "He's fine now, he's already had surgery."
"Surgery?!" Song Qingen exclaimed in surprise, feeling a bit short of breath. His right hand trembled as he pulled a small medicine bottle from his pocket, popped a pill into his mouth, and finally calmed down a bit.
Upon seeing this, the old man opposite him immediately showed a surprised expression. "No... you didn't know?"
"He told me he was going on vacation..." Song Qingen patted his chest, and after calming down, he looked at Xia Kening with a serious expression, " Ningning, where did you get this information?"
Xia Kening only then realized what had happened, her expression stiffening as she understood she had seemingly caused trouble.
She knew that Song Mingyuan had been keeping it a secret from Song Yunshen, but she never imagined that Song Mingyuan was even keeping it a secret from his own father, and still hadn't told him! Isn't that awkward...?
"Um... that..." Xia Kening felt sweat beading on her forehead and stammered, "Grandpa, maybe I remembered wrong, it didn't actually happen..."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Song Qingen was almost amused by his anger. "Hurry up and tell the truth. This isn't your fault. Explain yourself clearly."
"Oh, it's really nothing..." Xia Kening had no choice but to briefly recount the whole story from beginning to end, then timidly glanced at Song Qingen's expression.
"Alright, I understand." Song Qingen stood up from the stone bench and said to the old man opposite him, "I have other things to do, let's play this chess game later."
"Go on, go on," the old man opposite waved his hand. "Mingyuan really did something wrong. How could he keep it from his family?"
Seeing Song Qingen leave the pavilion, Xia Kening quickly grabbed Gaogao's dog leash and chased after him. "Grandpa, where are you going? To the hospital?"
"Where else could he have gone?" Song Qingen said, then turned to ask, "Do you know which ward he's in?"
"I do know that..."
"Then come with me," Song Qingen said. "Is that alright? Are you free now?"
"I'm fine, but Grandpa, how are you going to get there?"
"Drive, I have a driver's license." "Huh?" Xia Kening remembered how angry Song Qingen had been and even had to take medicine, so she didn't dare let him drive there herself. She quickly said, "No, no, no, let's take a taxi. Grandpa, I'll help you call one."
Song Qingen thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
So Xia Kening quickly took out her phone, followed Song Qingen back to the convenience store to take Gaogao back, hailed a taxi, and immediately sent a message to Song Yunshen, asking him to come and rescue her.
[ Xia Kening ]: Oh no! Your grandpa found out Uncle Song is in the hospital and he insists on going there now. You'd better get down here right away!
[ Song Yunshen ]:?
