The next day, Saturday.
Early in the morning, Xia Kening quietly got out of bed, washed up, changed into a cute outfit, put on white stockings, and sneaked out of the house while Xia Yunuo was still asleep.
After strolling all the way to Song Yunshen's house, Xia Kening, as usual, didn't wake him up directly. Instead, she went into Song Yunshen's bedroom and gave him a good morning greeting.
When Song Yunshen woke up, Xia Kening was already lying on top of him, teasing his nose with the ends of her short hair.
No wonder it felt itchy...
Song Yunshen almost sneezed and quickly pressed Xia Kening's head down, but feeling her softness and weight, he was reluctant to push her away.
Compared to her two older sisters, Xia Kening's hair only reached her shoulders, so if she wanted to use the ends of her hair to bother Song Yunshen, she would have to bend down completely.
This makes their posture appear somewhat abnormal.
When Xia Kening saw him wake up, her face flushed slightly. She quickly climbed off him, but she wasn't satisfied yet. With a quick glance, she pushed Song Yunshen him turn over.
What are you doing?
"Get up," Xia Kening urged, making him prop himself up on the bed with his limbs. Then, she took a step and sat on his back. "Hehe, giddy up!" she said, and then slapped Song Yunshen's butt, acting as if she were riding a horse.
Song Yunshen had just woken up and was still a little groggy, but he actually followed her instructions and let her ride him for a bit until he got a slap on the butt, which brought him fully awake.
"Are you fucking crazy? Riding a pony so early in the morning?" Song Yunshen was speechless, but he couldn't move, afraid that if he threw her off, Xia Kening would fall and get hurt. So he could only urge her angrily, "Get down right now."
"No way!" Xia Kening grumbled, wiggling her bottom. "Have you forgotten what you promised me last time? You said you'd let me ride you once."
"I didn't tell you how long you could ride. You've already ridden, so hurry up and finish." Song Yunshen deliberately bounced a couple of times, which startled Xia Kening quickly bent down and hugged his neck.
"Hey, don't move!" Xia Kening refused to get down, hugging Song Yunshen tightly, her legs wrapped around his lower back. "If I get hurt, you can't afford to pay for it."
"If you break me, you can't afford to pay for it," Song Yunshen said irritably. "Do you even know how much you weigh? Do you think you're Yingying?"
"Are you even a man? I don't even weigh 100 pounds, and you can't even carry me?"
"If you're so capable, let me ride you next time we switch places."
"Sure." Xia Kening nodded without hesitation. Anyway, who knows when the next exchange will be, so she might as well have some fun first.
Song Yunshen was speechless for a moment, then rolled his eyes and slowly lay down on the bed. Once he was completely on the bed, he forcefully rolled over and threw Xia Kening off.
Xia Kening was at her wits' end. She angrily slumped to the side and kicked him in the butt: "You little punk! You couldn't even last a little while!" "I advise you not to provoke me again," Song Yunshen chuckled, clenching his fist. Seeing this, Xia Kening quickly gave a forced smile, then jumped off the bed and dashed to the living room.
Song Yunshen shook his head helplessly, got out of bed, rubbed his back to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
"You should be free tonight, right?"
After washing up, the two went downstairs to a breakfast shop, and Song Yunshen asked her.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Xia Kening asked in confusion, "Don't I come to play games with you every night? How could I not be free?"
"Let's skip the games today and go out to play."
"Huh? Where are we going?" Xia Kening asked in surprise. "Why did you suddenly decide to take me out to play?"
"I won't tell you yet, you'll find out when we get there." Song Yunshen smiled, keeping everyone in suspense.
Xia Kening had neither the mysterious diary nor the ability to hear Song Yunshen thoughts, so she really didn't know what he was up to. Her curiosity was completely piqued.
But Song Yunshen was very tight-lipped; no matter how she asked, he wouldn't say a word.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Kening had no choice but to give up, but her anticipation had already been piqued. The morning wasn't even over yet, and she was already impatient for evening to come.
At 9:45 a. m., the two sisters, Xia Kening and Xia Yunuo, completed the handover ceremony precisely on time. Song Yunshen didn't feel that the time was anything special, but he had no idea how much wit and courage the two sisters had put into their relationship the night before, all in order to achieve this handover time.
Behind it all lies a bloody history of battles.
Song Yunshen was completely unaware of all this. As usual, after seeing Xia Kening off, he took Xia Yunuo to the market to buy groceries.
On the way downstairs to the bike shed, Song Yunshen kept turning his head to glance at Xia Yunuo, making her a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Can't I even take a second look at the clothes I picked out for you?" Song Yunshen Shen looked Xia Yunuo up and down in her new clothes and nodded with great satisfaction.
Xia Yunuo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her ears trembling. Although she said something to him, she was secretly delighted.
Today, she wore a light apricot-colored solid-color long-sleeved t-shirt on her upper body and a pure white lace fluffy short skirt on her lower body. She also wore a pair of white slouch socks around her ankles, which made her calves look even more slender and beautiful.
Like the dress she wore last time, Xia Yunuo still sports a pure and sweet style today, but compared to last time, her look is more casual and homey.
Song Yunshen deliberately walked a little slower, and only after he had enjoyed the view enough did he leisurely lead Xia Yunuo to the bike shed, get on the electric bike, and set off.
On the way, Xia Yunuo hugged Song Yunshen and asked happily, "Are you making lunch for your dad today, like last time?"
"Yes, but this is the last meal," Song Yunshen nodded and said. "After delivering his meal today, he can be discharged this afternoon."
"You're being discharged today?" Xia Yunuo was slightly surprised, then calculated the time and realized it seemed to be about the same. "How is Uncle Song's recovery going?" "He's doing well. The doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong. As long as he avoids strenuous physical activity and pays attention to his diet and rest, he'll be fine," Song Yunshen said.
Xia Yunuo seriously. "In that case, tomorrow is Sunday, and I can still cook lunch, so Uncle Song can eat with us."
"That's not necessarily a bad thing." Song Yunshen didn't really want to, but for some reason, Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo both seemed to want to invite his father to have dinner at home.
Once or twice is fine, but if it goes on for too long, Song Yunshen will definitely not agree.
It's not that I dislike my dad, it's just that I feel a bit awkward and restrained when the younger generation eats with him at the same table.
There's no other reason.
After taking Xia Yunuo to the market to buy groceries, it was already past 10 o'clock when we got home.
Song Yunshen accompanied her to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, and casually asked, "What movie are you planning to watch today?"
"I've already chosen them, you'll see in a bit."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Yunshen stopped asking and waited a little longer.
After the two finished preparing lunch, they carried the food to the coffee table in the living room, sat down, and started watching a movie while eating.
When Xia Yunuo chose "Your Name," Song Yunshen immediately gave her a strange look. "We're watching this?"
"You haven't already seen it, have you?" Xia Yunuo asked with some concern.
"No, not at all." Song Yunshen shook his head.
Although he hadn't seen the animated film "Your Name," he had heard of the series. One of its highlights, in particular, was the soul swapping between the male and female leads.
However, Song Yunshen hadn't actually looked into the specifics of the plot.
He hadn't expected Xia Yunuo to choose this movie.
To be honest, this movie is more suitable for Xia Kening and me to watch; the immersion would probably be quite strong.
Upon hearing Song Yunshen's thoughts, Xia Yunuo immediately bit her lip.
Yes, she did it on purpose.
Although the movie is fictional, there are real-life examples of this kind of soul swapping.
Xia Yunuo was very curious about Song Yunshen's attitude towards the soul swap, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to take the initiative to talk to him about it.
So, after racking their brains, they finally came up with a good idea: to select the movie "Your Name." The movie began to play.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo watched the opening scene of a movie while having dinner.
When Song Yunshen saw the male lead playing with the body every time they switched bodies, he coughed twice, feeling a little guilty.
Which director made this?!
Have you ever swapped bodies with a girl? If you haven't, why did you dare to film this?
Honestly... some things are too taken for granted; it's obvious they haven't been changed!
I have absolutely no experience!
[I've already changed them, and I could tolerate the first few times, but why the hell are they still doing it through clothes? I couldn't resist sticking my hand inside long ago, okay?]
Song Yunshen considered himself to have strong self-control, but he only managed to resist two or three times before finally giving in.
For a vigorous young man, a girl's body is full of mystery and magic, which cannot be resisted by willpower alone.
Of course, Song Yunshen wouldn't condemn himself for this.
After all, he's always upheld the principle of gender equality. [Anyway, Xia Kening definitely looked and touched it too, so we're even.]
Song Yunshen didn't know was that he thought he was just thinking about it in his head, but Xia Yunuo had already overheard these thoughts without him realizing it.
This is exactly what Xia Yunuo wanted to achieve.
On the one hand, it's an opportunity to use the movie as a pretext to talk to Song Yunshen about related topics.
On the other hand, even if Song Yunshen doesn't tell the truth, some of his inner thoughts will still be revealed because of his inner voice, which Xia Yunuo can easily overhear.
But when Xia Yunuo actually heard it, she didn't become happy; instead, she became even more depressed.
What do you mean by "studied inside"?!
Although Xia Yunuo had anticipated this, hearing the exact details from Song Yunshen's mind still made her cheeks flush red.
But what she heard next made her clench her little fists even more.
Ningning is looking and touching too?! Really?
If that's the case, wouldn't that mean...?
Xia Yunuo couldn't help but steal a glance at Song Yunshen's body, scanning him from head to toe. She subconsciously swallowed, and certain unspeakable images involuntarily surfaced in her mind. Ningning had seen it all...
He even touched it...
Xia Yunuo bit her lip, feeling embarrassed for her younger sister, but deep down she also felt a pang of envy and jealousy, making it difficult for her to control her fluctuating emotions.
Come to think of it, if Song Yunshen is in this state, then Ningning's situation is obviously not much worse.
Why couldn't it be that I swapped souls with Song Yunshen?
Xia Yunuo couldn't help but think this to herself, then quickly shook her head vigorously to banish this terrible thought from her mind.
The two continued watching the movie intently.
When they saw what happened next, they realized that the soul swap in the movie was not as simple as Song Yunshen and Xia Kening's; even the timeline was out of place.
The two people who were actually swapped were separated by a three-year time difference, which even led to the creation of different timelines.
In order to save the female lead, the male lead went through a difficult struggle and finally succeeded in reversing the original tragic timeline. However, this also caused both of them to forget everything that had happened before.
The two meet again at the end of the movie, and a strange feeling stirs within them, leading to their reunion.
The movie ended abruptly, leaving a lingering and unforgettable impression. After watching Song Yunshen let out a long sigh of relief, and inexplicably thought of the Future Diary in his drawer.
Compared to the male protagonist in the movie who saves countless people from a meteorite, Song Yunshen's act of changing the future is not particularly noble; it's just going with the flow.
These small, incremental changes completely derailed Song Yunshen's life trajectory, making it unpredictable once again.
"This movie is pretty good," Xia Yunuo couldn't help but exclaim.
That's the truth.
In the first half, she was shocked and ashamed by the occasional thoughts Song Yunshen conveyed, but as the plot entered the second half, she was completely drawn in and immersed in the film's content.
"Indeed." Song Yunshen agreement. "I can't believe this is a movie from 10 years ago."
"Yes," Xia Yunuo echoed, then, remembering her original intention, she couldn't help but tentatively ask, "If a boy and a girl swapped bodies, would they really do that kind of thing?"
"What is it?" Song Yunshen blinked, looking innocent and naive, pretending not to know what she wanted to ask.
Xia Yunuo blushed and stammered, then reached out and poked Song Yunshen's chest. "Is it... like this??"
"Ahem..." Song Yunshen coughed twice, not expecting her to actually dare to ask, but he didn't want to pretend to be high and mighty, so he honestly confessed, "Of course people will be curious, right? If you were in a boy's body, wouldn't you be curious?"
'I... I...' Xia Yunuo was stumped by his question and couldn't answer at all. Her eyes unconsciously glanced at Song Yunshen's body, and various indescribable images flashed through her mind. [If I could switch places with Song Yunshen, I'd also like to see what his body is like... Oh dear! I can't think about this anymore!]
Hearing her thoughts, Song Yunshen subconsciously glanced down, then grinned, finding it amusing.
"So what are your thoughts on this kind of thing?" Xia Yunuo asked again. "The movie deliberately sets up the two people to subconsciously ignore various logical flaws, but what about in real life? What would you do if you encountered this situation?"
Song Yunshen didn't realize there was anything wrong with her asking these questions. After all, they had just finished watching a movie, and it was normal to discuss it.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yunshen said, "You'll definitely be shocked at first, right? But once you confirm it's true, you need to find a way to calm down first, then contact your original body and communicate with the other party properly."
"After all, when you first start exchanging partners, nobody knows if you can switch back, how long the exchange will last, or what the triggering conditions are for switching back. These are all things that need to be considered."
"What if the other person isn't a rational person, and after the swap, they use their body to do something illegal or immoral, or even suffer a stress reaction due to emotional distress and end up taking their own life? That would be terrible."
"Therefore, we need to guide the other party's emotions as much as possible to avoid causing any conflict. Then, we should explore the specific situation step by step to prevent more troublesome things from happening."
"I think that before dealing with these matters, there's probably not much time or inclination to explore a girl's body."
Upon hearing Song Yunshen's words, Xia Yunuo fell into a moment of silence.
She suddenly realized something.
Even Song Yunshen had to be so cautious and tread on thin ice when facing such a situation. How terrified must his younger sister, who is still in middle school, have been when her soul was swapped with Song Yunshen's?
After getting to know Song Yunshen and confirming that he wasn't a bad person, Ningning was naturally able to relax.
But in the beginning, Ningning probably didn't have it easy either.
This wasn't an easy task from the start, nor was it as easy to control as her ability to eavesdrop on thoughts.
The unpredictability here is far too high.
Fortunately, the person she swapped places with was Song Yunshen. If it had been a boy with a terrible temper and personality, Xia Yunuo didn't even want to think about what the consequences would have been.
But thankfully it was Song Yunshen...
Xia Yunuo raised her head again, looked at Song Yunshen in front of her, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. "What are you laughing at?" Song Yunshen reached out and pinched her cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.
From Xia Yunuo's perspective, he was probably just discussing the things to be aware of after the soul swap.
But in reality, he had just recounted his entire thought process during the first soul swap.
I only realized what I had said after I finished, and it was quite embarrassing.
"I just think you're a really nice person," Xia Yunuo said with a smile. "I feel like if it were any other guy, I wouldn't think so much about it." Song Yunshen smiled, about to chime in with a few self-praises, when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was his aunt calling. So he gestured to Xia Yunuo and answered the phone.
The next second, Song Wantang on the other end of the phone asked him, "Hey, are you home? I'm already upstairs, just pack your things and come with me."
"Huh?!" Upon hearing Song Yunshen was startled and subconsciously glanced at Xia Yunuo beside him.
"W-What's wrong?" Xia Yunuo asked worriedly when he suddenly looked at her.
Before Song Yunshen reply, the sound of the door opening came from outside.
When Song Wantang walked in from outside, she found the living room to be dimly lit, with only the television providing light.
The two young people sat at the coffee table, snuggling close together, shoulder to shoulder, with the messy plates from their meal in front of them.
When Song Wantang saw this, she was visibly stunned, not expecting her nephew to know how to enjoy himself so much.
After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but tease, "Oh? You guys know how to enjoy yourselves."
