At 9:30 p. m., Song Yunshen said goodbye and left, then rode his electric scooter home.
Song Mingyuan had just finished playing games, turned off his computer, and walked out of his study when he bumped into his son who had just come home and entered the house. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Did you send him home?"
"Um."
What's the situation now?
"What's going on?"
" Xia Jinshu, Xia Yunuo, and that Xia Kening, what are you really thinking?" Song Mingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you dare play with those young girls' feelings."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say..." Song Yunshen his eyes. "I didn't do anything."
Song Mingyuan smirked, too lazy to say anything more, "Just be careful and don't mess around."
"Dad, I think you have a deep misunderstanding about me."
"Heh, let's just say that." Song Mingyuan pursed his lips, said no more, and turned to go to the master bedroom.
Song Yunshen, thinking that being misunderstood was probably his fate.
He stretched, headed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, then returned to his room, changed into his pajamas, sat down at his desk, and took out his Future Diary. Turning to the latest page, Song Yunshen raised an eyebrow, noticing the Future Diary had been updated again. Looking at the date, it was still October 5th—his birthday again.
But upon checking the year, he discovered it was 2025, Song Yunshen immediately felt bored.
As expected, in the original timeline, Xia Jinshu was not familiar with her in 2025.
The diary entries are mostly trivial things, nothing much to say.
However... Song Yunshen suddenly realized that if the real time came to his birthday this year, then according to the previous pattern, this diary entry, which was originally written on the original timeline, would also be updated to the current diary entry written by Xia Jinshu.
In this way, he will be able to see Xia Jinshu's diary entry from that day when he celebrates his birthday this year.
Although it doesn't predict the future, at least we can see what Xia Jinshu will be thinking on his birthday.
Thinking of this, Song Yunshen nodded with slight satisfaction. After putting away the Future Diary, he took out his own diary.
After briefly recalling what happened on the first day of school, he began to write.
[Sunday, August 31, 2025]
[I had arranged to have breakfast with Nuonuo this morning, and I bumped into my uncle's family leaving home, with Yingying along.] [It suddenly feels like time flies; in the blink of an eye, Yingying will be starting kindergarten soon.]
[After arriving at school, I originally wanted to go see my senior, but I was busy in the morning, so I postponed it until the afternoon.]
[I've been sitting next to Xia Yunuo since the beginning of this semester, and today's experience has been pretty good.]
[We were sitting together during the flag-raising ceremony this afternoon. I never expected that Xia Jinshu would be the student representative for the senior year. I wonder when I'll get to give a speech on the flag-raising platform.]
After the flag-raising ceremony, Lao Bao held a class meeting to confirm the class committee for the new semester. Nuonuo remained the academic representative.
After the class meeting, I took the letter I wrote at noon, intending to ask my pen pal from the English Club to go to the senior's class to find her.
[Unexpectedly, we were so in sync that we bumped into each other on the street.]
[At first, my senior wouldn't admit it. Later, I even lied and said it was a love letter, but I didn't expect that she would get angry even though it was just a joke.]
[I was in a hurry to apologize, and in a moment of lapse of judgment, I accidentally called her "Mama Xia," which made me so embarrassed that I started picking my toes on the spot.]
Luckily, I'm thick-skinned. As the saying goes, if I'm not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed. So I called her a few more times, until she got shy.
It's actually a bit embarrassing to admit, I don't know how Mama Xia views me now...
[Judging from her reactions in class and on the rooftop that evening, there seems to be no problem.] [I just don't know if I can still call her "Mama Xia" in the future.]
[Speaking of which, when I was memorizing vocabulary on the rooftop that night, I discovered that Xia Yunuo was eavesdropping near the entrance. I never expected her to come up here; I don't know how she found out.]
[However, we were just memorizing vocabulary words, so it's fine if we get caught. I just don't know why Nuonuo didn't just come up; she hid behind the door, eavesdropped for a while, and then left.]
This concludes my diary entry.
Xia Jinshu looked slightly flustered and subconsciously turned her head to look.
But Xia Yunuo wasn't in the bedroom at that moment; she was taking a shower in the bathroom.
Xia Jinshu turned back and read the diary again. When she reached the end again, she couldn't help but clench the diary tightly.
how so...
Did Xiao Nuo actually find out?
Doesn't this mean... she already knows about him tutoring Song Yunshen?
But how did she find out?
Xia Jinshu was completely baffled. She couldn't help but get up and leave the bedroom. While Xia Yunuo was still showering, she asked Yan Zhenxia, "Mom, did Xiao Nuo go out just now?" "Yes, she went to the convenience store to buy pens," Yan Zhenxia nodded. "I was thinking of having you buy some on your way. But she said she messaged you, and you didn't reply, so she went by herself."
"Oh... I see..." Xia Jinshu nodded gently, turned around and went back to her bedroom. She took out her phone and checked WeChat, but didn't see any messages from Xia Yunuo.
So, Xiao Nuo actually had suspicions all along?
Xia Jinshu was a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected that after hiding it for so long, her younger sister would finally find out.
But Xia Yunuo didn't mention this to her, which left her unsure of what to do.
After careful consideration, Xia Jinshu decided to pretend she knew nothing.
After all, she learned about this from Song Yunshen's diary. After thinking about it, she decided it was better to avoid trouble and kept quiet.
That evening, after finishing his diary Song Yunshen lay down on his bed and began his routine.
After a brief chat with Xia Jinshu and saying goodnight, he started chatting with Xia Yunuo.
Only after confirming that Xia Yunuo's emotions were normal did Song Yunshen feel a little relieved and say goodnight to her.
Then it was Xia Kening's turn. [ Xia Kening ]: What are you doing?
[ Xia Kening ]: Aren't you guys out of school yet?
[ Xia Kening ]: It's already 9:30, hurry up and reply to my message!
[ Xia Kening ]: Where are you?
[ Xia Kening ]: Hurry up and reply to me!
[ Xia Kening ]: I'm ignoring you!
These were messages Xia Kening sent between 9 PM and almost 10 PM.
Because he hadn't had much time before, Song Yunshen simply ignored her. Now that he finally had some free time, he reluctantly replied to her message.
[ Song Yunshen ]: I just finished writing in my diary, what's up?
[ Xia Kening ]: You've died in my mind a million times.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Didn't you say you were ignoring me?
[ Xia Kening ]: If you provoke me again, I'll curse you to swap souls with me on the day of your math exam. [ Song Yunshen ]: I think you're feeling guilty, aren't you? You want me to help you with your math exam, otherwise you definitely won't win the bet.
[ Xia Kening ]: Hmph! I won't lose!
[ Song Yunshen ]: Why don't you think about which character you're planning to counter?
[ Xia Kening ]: What do you think of Sitrally?
This is the first five-star character Xia Kening has drawn. Although she hasn't completed the corresponding character story yet, she takes this character with her every day when exploring the map, so she has a special feeling for her.
[ Song Yunshen ]: You actually got selected? Looks like you're ready to call me Dad.
[ Xia Kening ]: Get lost! I just don't object to releasing CS.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Are you sure? If you are, I'll buy the CS outfit first.
[ Xia Kening ]: If I lose, can the penalty be changed to playing CS twice?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Oh? Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? Why are you chickening out now?
[ Xia Kening ]: Oh dear... didn't you want to see me release a CS set too? Can't I just release one more?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Compared to having an extra CS set, I'd much rather hear you call me "Dad." Or maybe we shouldn't release this set at all, and you can call me "Dad" twice then. [ Xia Kening ]: You just wait and see! Once I get into the top 50 in the grade this time, you'll be calling me "Mom"!
The two chatted and joked for a while until after 11 p. m., when Song Yunshen said goodnight to her, plugged in his phone to charge, and went to sleep.
Ningjiang Middle School has a very flexible exam schedule, with only two exams per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Students in grades 11 and 12 have already completed the "choose three out of seven" selection process, so they actually only need to take six subjects.
For example, on the first day of the exams, Song Yunshen only needed to take the Chinese exam in the morning. When it came to the history exam in the afternoon, he just needed to give up the classroom and go to the library to study.
Tuesday's exams were in math and physics.
Contrary to Xia Kening's wishes, Song Yunshen and she did not swap souls on this day, and successfully completed the two science exams without any major incidents.
Although he hadn't studied these two subjects seriously during the summer vacation, Song Yunshen still managed to review a little bit in the first two days after school started, thanks to Xia Yunuo's help.
My grades are definitely not as good as they were in the midterm exams last semester, but they are definitely much better than in the final exams.
After all, Song Yunshen did terribly in the science exams last semester after Xia Kening took the exams for him, causing his overall ranking to plummet.
No matter how he did on this exam, it was definitely much better than the previous final exams. After the physics exam in the afternoon, Song Yunshen returned to the classroom to continue studying.
When the school bell rang at 5 p. m., he slung his already packed schoolbag over his shoulder, said goodbye to Xia Yunuo, and then hurried to the school gate.
Xia Yunuo knew Song Yunshen was going to do, and thinking that there were only three or four days left, she could just endure it.
So she stopped thinking about it and went to find Wei Zhile and Chen Yue to have dinner together in the cafeteria.
Since becoming acquainted with Song Yunshen, Xia Yunuo has not only gained Song Yunshen as a friend, but her relationship with Chen Yue has also gradually become closer.
After school started, he met Wei Zhile. Because of Song Yunshen, the two quickly became friends. In the past few days, the three of them have been eating together frequently and have a pretty good relationship.
During dinner, the three girls chatted casually, and Chen Yue mentioned that she planned to go on a date with Deng Shitao over the weekend and go shopping for new clothes.
When this topic came up, Wei Zhile immediately got excited. "You can buy clothes from me, it'll definitely be much cheaper than buying them outside."
"Huh?" Chen Yue was taken aback, a little confused. "Looking for you?"
"Yes, yes, my family is in the clothing business," Wei Zhile nodded and said, "And we make everything directly from the factory. Whatever new styles are on the market, we can definitely make them."
"Really? Then next time I see clothes I want to buy, I'll take a picture and ask you first?" Chen Yue said with a look of surprise.
"No problem, leave it to me." Wei Zhile readily agreed, then looked at Xia Yunuo, " Xiao Nuo? If you want to buy any new clothes, you can tell me." "Hmm..." Xia Yunuo's heart skipped a beat when she heard Wei Zhile say that. Thinking about the three or four thousand yuan worth of new clothes she hadn't bought in her shopping cart, she realized that if she could get a discount, she could save a lot of money. "Do you have the same styles of clothes I buy online?"
"Of course we have them," Wei Zhile immediately patted his chest confidently. "A large part of my business is online, so as long as it's not something particularly rare, we can basically find it."
"Okay, then thank you in advance, Lele." Xia Yunuo gently, already having made up her mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Yunshen was already riding his electric bike, taking Xia Jinshu to the market to buy groceries.
On the way home after grocery shopping, Song Yunshen suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask Xia Jinshu, "Senior, I remember you said you had a surprise for me before the English exam. What is it?"
My English exam is tomorrow, Wednesday morning, so if I don't bring out the surprise today, it'll expire!
Xia Jinshu simply lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and didn't tell him directly, "What's the rush? You'll find out soon enough."
To be honest, Xia Jinshu's feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment.
She felt a pang of regret, realizing she shouldn't have told Song Yunshen directly that she had prepared a surprise, leaving her with no way to back out now. But then she felt a surge of anticipation, curious about Song Yunshen's expression when he saw the surprise.
As a result, she was feeling somewhat anxious and uncertain, her heart was pounding, and she was very conflicted.
Upon arriving at Song Yunshen's house, Xia Jinshu quickly carried the groceries into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Around 6 p. m., after a satisfying meal, Song Mingyuan got up to say goodbye and went out for a stroll, not wanting to stay at home any longer.
Xia Jinshu watched Song Mingyuan's departing figure and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She had been wondering what to do if Song Mingyuan stayed in the living room the whole time, but now things are much easier.
She gently bit her lip, walked over to Song Yunshen's side, and whispered to him, "I'd like to use your bedroom, is that alright?"
"What is Senior Sister doing?" Song Yunshen blinked, asking curiously.
"Don't ask too many questions," Xia Jinshu muttered softly. "If you want a surprise, just let me use the bedroom, and you'll find out soon enough."
"Then I'll look forward to it." Song Yunshen smiled, suppressing his curiosity, and watched Xia Jinshu walk towards her bedroom.
When Xia Jinshu closed the bedroom door, Song Yunshen breath, her heart racing slightly, and she was even a little excited.
I wonder what kind of surprise it will be.
Meanwhile, Xia Jinshu, who had already entered Song Yunshen's bedroom, put her schoolbag on a chair and took out several items from it.
A white shirt, a black pencil skirt, and... a pair of black stockings.
Xia Jinshu looked at the three pieces of clothing in front of her. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she bit her lip hard. After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind and reached out to slowly take off her blue and white school uniform.
