Upon seeing the date in this Future Diary, Song Yunshen immediately perked up.
According to information provided in his previous Future Diary, he will divorce his wife in 2036.
The time when he started dating Xia Jinshu was around 2032.
At this moment, the 2029 diary appeared, Song Yunshen couldn't help but feel hopeful.
I have no idea what will happen to me four years from now.
Four years later, I should have been in college by then, probably in my second or third year.
Of course, he might not have known Xia Jinshu at this point in time, but hopefully he can provide some valuable information.
Thinking of this, Song Yunshen quickly started reading.
[Sunday, September 2, 2029, Sunny]
[I worked throughout the summer and saved quite a bit of money. Including Xiao Nuo and the others' earnings, it should be enough to cover our tuition and living expenses.]
[This way, Mom can save a little more of her salary.]
However, Xiao Nuo has been feeling a bit strange lately; she seems to be constantly looking at her phone at night.
[She used to go to bed around 10 p. m., but a few times when I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw her playing on her phone.]
I don't know if it's the pressure of working too much, or if I'm addicted to games.
[I told her off a few times, but she quickly corrected herself, so it wasn't a big deal. Xiao Nuo is quite obedient in this regard.]
[But she said she wanted to withdraw an extra 500 dollars to keep for some things she wanted to buy.]
[She's a junior in college this year, so it's normal for her to want to buy some things. I agreed and even gave her an extra 300 yuan.]
[This way, I can take less of the living expenses I originally set aside, so as not to run out of money for tuition.]
[Oh right, today is the last day of my job. Just as I was about to close up, Song Yunshen came to the shop to buy milk tea.]
He bought me a drink too.
[I should have refused, since I only managed to find a suitable bubble tea shop thanks to his connections.]
[But he ordered two drinks right away. After I finished with another waiter, he handed me the other one. It would be a waste if I didn't drink it.]
[I had been wondering before that his willingness to help us find part-time jobs meant he might be interested in one of us.]
[Now it seems, could it be that he likes me?]
[But Xiao Nuo was clearly his classmate in high school... That's really strange...]
Before graduating from university, I really have no interest in dating, and I hope he'll stop bothering me.
He's a good person and very handsome, but I'd rather graduate first and find a good job.
[Besides, I'm a year older than him. When it comes to finding a partner, it's definitely better to find someone older than yourself, right?]
[Marrying him might be a good choice, but I still hope that my future relationship will be based on my genuine love for him.]
[Instead of simply focusing on the other person's family background and material conditions]
[But maybe I'm overthinking it? Maybe he was just simply trying to help others.]
Anyway, you'll be a senior this year, so work hard, Xia Jinshu. The future will definitely not let you down. Good luck in the new semester!
After reading the diary, Song Yunshen stroked his chin and began to ponder.
The first half isn't particularly interesting to analyze; it's just about Xia Jinshu and Xia Yunuo working and earning money.
However, the latter half of the story revealed a great deal of new information to Song Yunshen.
So this is how I ended up getting involved with Xia Jinshu?
By introducing Xia Yunuo to a part-time job, he also introduced one to Xia Jinshu, and then frequently went to the milk tea shop where she worked to strike up a conversation.
Wow!
I'm so cunning!
Wait, that's not right... I think that's exactly what I'm doing now...
Should I say, "That's so true to me"?
Whether it's the future or the present, the line of thinking is surprisingly consistent.
But back in 2029, did he like Xia Jinshu or Xia Yunuo?
According to Xia Jinshu's diary, the two did not make any significant progress in their relationship until 2032.
So, for the past three years, wasn't it all just me pursuing Xia Jinshu?
It wasn't until Xia Jinshu graduated from university, found a job, and finally settled down that the other person finally accepted her feelings.
Since the diary only provides so much information, Song Yunshen can only analyze it in this way.
So, does that mean I really am in love with Xia Jinshu?
So why did they break up later?
That's really strange.
Logically speaking, my father shouldn't be the kind of person who pays particular attention to social status when marrying someone of equal social standing.
If the problem isn't with me, then it must be with Xia Jinshu?
But... Xia Jinshu's family probably isn't well-off, so they wouldn't have so many rules.
Surely there's no way there's some ridiculous plot involving deliberately inflating the bride price?
The thought of this made Song Yunshen's teeth ache.
It's a pity this is a diary from 2029; it would be great if we could get some entries from his wedding day.
He still doesn't know who his future wife will be.
Song Yunshen leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
It would be great if I could specify the date for my Future Diary.
Thinking of this, Song Yunshen suddenly turned his eyes and his gaze fell on the blank page following the Future Diary.
He picked up a pen and tentatively wrote "[October 5, 2035]" in the blank space.
He then stopped writing, staring intently at the line of text for a long time, as if trying to activate his Future Diary with his mind.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
Song Yunshen clicked his tongue. "Other people's cheat abilities can be controlled by themselves, so why is mine so random?"
After saying that, he closed the Future Diary, put it back in the drawer, and took out his own diary.
After gathering his thoughts, he began to write in his diary.
[Sunday, June 29, 2025]
[It was another fulfilling day. I met three beautiful girls and I'm very satisfied.]
[But I can't ask Xia Yunuo for English questions anymore. She spent the whole afternoon explaining them to me today, and I just couldn't take it anymore.]
[Luckily, I only hired Xia Jinshu as a tutor for one hour a day. Hopefully, she won't be as demanding as Xia Yunuo.]
[My uncle talked to Xia Yunuo about tutoring today and introduced her to Yingying.]
[I'll discuss the timing with my uncle later, and try to stagger Yingying's class time with my tutoring time, so that I can accompany Xia Yunuo when she comes to class.]
[To prevent Yingying from disliking Xia Yunuo and misbehaving in class]
[ Xia Yunuo has no experience taking care of children, so it's better if I help keep an eye on them.]
[After all, I'm still waiting for her to make money so she can treat me to dinner, haha~]
She arranged to meet my uncle on Saturday, so if I run into him in the next couple of days, I can let him know in advance.
[But my uncle will definitely gossip again, saying that she's so old but still so childish.]
However, considering that he always gives the largest red envelopes every year, I'll reluctantly forgive him.
Tangning New Residence East District.
Xia Jinshu sat at her desk and carefully read through Song Yunshen's diary for the evening. Then she couldn't help but turn to look at her younger sister.
