[Saturday, June 28, 2025]
[This morning during self-study, I started doing my summer homework, but I'm meeting Song Yunshen at noon, so I'm a little nervous and can't concentrate on my homework.]
Fortunately, after meeting him, I felt he was a nice person.
[I almost got spotted by Xiao Nuo near the cafeteria, but luckily we hid quickly, it scared me to death!]
It's best not to let Xiao Nuo know about me tutoring Song Yunshen for now. We should mention it to Song Yunshen next time, so he doesn't let it slip.
[I went out for lunch with Song Yunshen and we had braised chicken. It was really delicious. I can't even remember the last time I had chicken.]
[Midway through, Song Yunshen's aunt came in to say hello, and I realized that this shop was actually owned by his aunt. No wonder she could pull out a coupon so easily.]
[It's one thing for him to use this trick on Xiao Nuo, but he actually used it against me.]
Thankfully, the contract was signed smoothly, and I'll be able to get my 3,000 yuan salary next month!
However, hearing his father's voice at his house still startled me.
[But knowing that his house has surveillance cameras made me feel much more at ease; at least he probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me.]
[Well, it's not that he's a bad person, it's just a precaution.]
[I looked up some tips for girls working as tutors, and it seems like it's best to keep pepper spray in your bag.]
[Sigh... It's not good to waste money, maybe I should just forget about it]
I just chatted with my sister, and we're going to buy Mom a new outfit and a pair of shoes when we get our paychecks.
[My mom's birthday is August 9th, and I get paid on the 5th, so I can buy her the gift.]
I'm already looking forward to that day!
[However, before that, we need to do a good job with the tutoring.]
[Next week, apart from going over the final exam papers, the school will have mostly self-study periods. I can do my summer homework while starting to prepare lesson plans and think about the best angle to begin teaching.]
[come on!]
After carefully reading the diary entry, Song Yunshen sat at his desk and was momentarily lost in thought.
In his memory, the original content of this entry in the Future Diary dated June 28th didn't seem to be like this.
If he remembered correctly, the conversation was about what they had for lunch in the cafeteria, and then her deskmate fed her a piece of beef brisket.
In the afternoon, I went to look for a bubble tea shop where I could work part-time, and was eventually taken in by a kind shop owner.
Why is the content of this diary entry so different today?!
Song Yunshen frowned, puzzled, and flipped back to look at the previous content.
A few minutes later, he rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Nothing has changed...
The previous content remains unchanged, except for today's content on the 28th.
Is there any pattern to this?
Could it be because I altered the timeline?
Upon considering this possibility, Song Yunshen stroked his chin and pondered it carefully.
So that's how it is.
The contents of the Future Diary can be roughly divided into two sections.
One of the sections is Future Diary where the date and time are later than the actual time.
The other section consists of "overdue diaries"—diaries that were originally planned for the Future Diary, but whose actual dates have now passed.
For example, many of the Future Diary that Song Yunshen had read in June 2025 are now considered "expired".
But their content did not change as a result.
However, the content of today's post from the 28th is completely different.
After reading this, Song Yunshen understood one thing very clearly.
This new diary entry was clearly written by Xia Jinshu just today.
In other words, this is not a diary written by Xia Jinshu in the future of timeline A, but a real-time diary written by Xia Jinshu in the present timeline B!
this...
Song Yunshen's mind was a little dizzy from all the confusion, but he finally figured out yet another characteristic of this Future Diary.
In other words...
When the real time arrives at the date of a certain Future Diary, suppose Xia Jinshu does something different from the original diary entry because of his interference, and writes it in the diary on that day.
Then, the Future Diary in Song Yunshen's possession will also be updated with the latest diary entries.
As for why the previous diaries haven't changed...
After all, Song Yunshen didn't know Xia Jinshu back then, and was still relying on Xia Jinshu's daily cafeteria diary to take advantage of Xu Zhuoyue.
Since Xia Jinshu's original life trajectory was not changed, the original timeline would not be altered either.
After Song Yunshen figured this out, his mood gradually calmed down.
He then reread the newly written diary, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
Pepper spray and the like? That's going too far!
Does a gentleman like him really need to be so guarded?
But how could Xia Jinshu know that he had given Xia Yunuo a discount coupon?
Did Xia Yunuo even tell Xia Jinshu about something like this?
What a big mouth!
August 9th is Xia Jinshu's mother's birthday... August 9th... August 9th... How wonderful...
Song Yunshen read to the end, his eyes suddenly softened with tenderness and nostalgia. However, he gripped the diary tightly, causing the veins on the back of his hand to become faintly visible.
After calming down for a while, Song Yunshen put away his Future Diary, but instead of writing in today's entry, he got up and went to his study.
At this moment, Song Mingyuan was facing away from the door, wearing headphones and deeply engrossed in a fierce battle, completely unaware of Song Yunshen's footsteps.
Song Yunshen didn't disturb him; he simply lifted the blackout cloth from the piano, pulled out a stool, and sat down.
He opened the piano lid, looked down at the piano for a long time, and stroked the keys with his hands, but he didn't play a single note.
After a long while, he finally gave up, dejectedly closed the piano lid, put away the stool, covered the piano with the blackout cloth again, and quietly left the study.
I went up to the rooftop and enjoyed the night breeze for a while.
After feeling much better, Song Yunshen returned home and took a quick shower.
He sat back down at his desk, took out his diary, and began writing about the day's events.
Xia Jinshu sat in a chair, bending over and diligently doing her summer homework.
Xia Kening, who was lying next to her, was bored and reached for her phone when Xia Jinshu slapped her hand.
"It's not time yet," Xia Jinshu said calmly. "Sit up straight."
"Oh..." Xia Kening sat up straight with a wronged look on her face, picked up her pen and continued doing her homework.
It wasn't until the alarm rang at 9:30 p. m. that Xia Kening finally breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly picked up her phone.
Just then, Xia Yunuo came out of the shower, Xia Kening immediately made way for her, running happily to the bed in the living room to lie down and play on her phone.
Xia Jinshu ignored her younger sister and turned to look at Xia Yunuo's wet hair, sighing slightly in her heart.
Xiao Nuo washed her hair again.
After getting up to dry Xia Yunuo's hair, Xia Jinshu returned to her seat and took out the special diary again.
Upon opening it, I found that it had been updated with the latest content.
Xia Jinshu showed a surprised expression upon seeing just the first sentence.

[It suddenly occurred to me that August 9th is my mother's birthday.]
