July 5th, 7:00 AM.
After waking up, Xia Kening stretched in bed and took out her phone to check the time.
It was still early until eight o'clock, as Song Yunshen had mentioned, Xia Kening wanted to sleep a little longer, but she was too excited to fall asleep.
It felt like the night before a school field trip when I was a kid, so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.
Yan Zhenxia had already left for work by then.
She was alone on the large bed in the living room.
Xia Kening tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she picked up her phone again and sent a message to Song Yunshen.
[ Xia Kening ]: Are you awake?!
After posting, she opened Douyin ) and waited for Song Yunshen's reply while scrolling through videos.
Whenever she came across a funny or interesting video, she would forward it to Song Yunshen.
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't receive a message from Song Yunshen.
Is this guy really planning to sleep until eight o'clock?
Xia Kening reopened WeChat and angrily tapped Song Yunshen's profile picture a few times.
I patted " Song Yunshen " and called him "Dad."
[ Xia Kening ]: Song! Yun! Shen!
[ Xia Kening ]: What kind of patting is this?!
[ Xia Kening ]: Ahhh! Get up!
Xia Kening's venting was completely ineffective.
Song Yunshen still didn't reply, so she had no choice but to continue scrolling through Douyin.
7:30.
[ Xia Kening ]: You lazy pig! Sleeping so soundly?
7:40.
[ Xia Kening ]: We agreed to play badminton at eight o'clock, so you should at least get up a little earlier, right?
7:50.
[ Xia Kening ]: Hey!!!
Eight o'clock sharp.
[ Xia Kening ]: Where are you? Don't stand me up!
[ Song Yunshen ]: ----Aren't you sleepy at all?
[ Xia Kening ]: I woke up at seven!
[ Song Yunshen ]: I can go through the chat history, you don't need to remind me.
[ Xia Kening ]: So I'm off then? Waiting for you at the West District Gate?
[ Song Yunshen ]: Don't rush, I'll tell you after I've washed up.
[ Xia Kening ]: Then hurry up, I'll go tell my family.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Understood.
Putting away her phone, Xia Kening smiled broadly, quickly climbed out of bed, and walked to the bedroom door in her slippers, knocking on the door.
Then she pushed open the door and peeked in, looking at her two older sisters who were sitting at their desks doing their homework.
"Sister~"
Xia Yunuo ignored her, while Xia Jinshu turned to Xia Kening: "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to the library. I'll eat out for lunch," Xia Kening said.
"The library? How about we go together?" Xia Jinshu asked. "We're both free this morning."
"No way!" Xia Kening quickly refused, "I've already made plans with my classmates."
"Oh." Xia Jinshu didn't think much of it, after all, she had gone to the library with her classmates last time, and she had misunderstood her. "Then go ahead, do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Xia Kening nodded repeatedly, then immediately closed the door and slipped into the bathroom.
After carefully examining herself in the mirror, Xia Kening looked down at her pajamas and fell into deep thought.
In the bedroom, Xia Yunuo, upon hearing that Xia Kening was going to the library again, immediately recalled what she had heard from Song Yunshen thoughts while eating braised chicken last weekend.
library?
Is Ningning going to see Song Yunshen again?
I haven't even had a chance to ask her what happened before.
How did they become so familiar with each other?
Xia Yunuo pursed her lips. The anticipation she had felt for the tutor interview was now hard to describe.
The fingers gripping the black pen tightened even more.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
As Song Yunshen yawned and walked out of the room, he heard the sound of wheels rolling coming from the master bedroom.
Turning my head, I saw Song Mingyuan dragging his suitcase out from inside.
Seeing this, Song Yunshen remembered that his father was going on a long trip during the summer vacation.
"Leaving today?" Song Yunshen greeted him. "Really going for two months?"
"Okay." Song Mingyuan nodded, dragging his suitcase into the living room. "You stay home and behave yourself. Attend your school tutoring classes properly, and take your one-on-one English tutoring seriously too."
"Also, treat those three girls well, don't bully them, and don't have any wicked thoughts."
You're still young, there's no need to rush things.
Song Yunshen was about to go into the bathroom to wash up when he heard these words, and he immediately stopped and froze on the spot.
"W-what, three little girls?"
--
"You think I know nothing?" Song Mingyuan glanced at him sideways.
"How did you know?" Song Yunshen took out his phone and examined it carefully. "You didn't install a surveillance camera on my phone, did you?"
"I'm not that bored." Song Mingyuan shook his head. "You took the little girl to your aunt's shop for dinner, and your aunt knows everything. She told me."
"Huh?" Song Yunshen was stunned. "But I only saw her once at the store."
"Aren't the employees in that store human beings?" Song Mingyuan said irritably.
"Holy crap! Human surveillance?!" Song Yunshen exclaimed in shock, never expecting his aunt to be so ruthless. "That's insane!"
"As long as you don't do anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Then I definitely didn't do it----" Song Yunshen muttered, sounding slightly guilty.
"Don't let your sympathy get the better of you. Think it over yourself." Song Mingyuan sighed. "I'm leaving now."
Watching his father's departing figure, Song Yunshen looked at the closed door and scratched his head.
My aunt is really something—she's so gossipy.
I never imagined that even my father knew about these things.
I'm never taking a girl out for braised chicken again!
Besides, what does it mean to "don't bully others, and don't have any ulterior motives"?
He's an upright and honorable man; how could he possibly do such a thing?
It's one thing for others to say things, but for you, as a father, to not even trust your own son is truly disappointing!
While mentally complaining, Song Yunshen went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, he took out his phone again and sent a message to Xia Kening.
[ Song Yunshen ]: Wait for me at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
[ Xia Kening ]: OK!
After changing into a clean set of clothes, Song Yunshen went into the bathroom, tidied his hair in front of the mirror, and then went to the door to change his shoes and leave.
A few minutes later, Song Yunshen walked out of the community gate, turned left and headed towards the breakfast shop, where he could see a slender figure in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, his eyes lit up.
Xia Kening wasn't wearing her school uniform today; she had changed into a casual outfit.
She wore a white tank top with a long-sleeved shawl over it for sun protection.
Her lower body was clad in denim shorts and white stockings.
Looking at the beautiful scene before him, and remembering that he had just touched the other person's body from head to toe a few days ago, Song Yunshen couldn't help but swallow hard, silently repeating "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" in his heart.
He then walked up to Xia Kening, who was playing on her phone, and gently tapped her head. "Let's go, have some breakfast first."
"You're here?" Xia Kening rubbed her forehead, then snorted and secretly punched him. "So slow."
"It's so sunny outside, can't you go inside and sit down first?"
"I put on sunscreen and wore this jacket." Xia Kening adjusted the white gauze cardigan on her shoulders, causing it to sway slightly in front of her chest.
Song Yunshen forced himself to look away and led her into the store.
It has to be said that school uniforms were truly amazing; they were able to completely conceal such a magnificent sight.
Even a simple white tank top is enough to attract attention.
"Where are you looking?" Xia Kening noticed the guy's gaze, puffed out her cheeks, and covered her chest with her arms, but couldn't help feeling secretly delighted.
"What's wrong with taking a look?" Song Yunshen pouted. "I've already touched it."
Xia Kening blushed slightly and punched him again, scolding him softly, "Don't say that outside!"
