Song Yunshen brought Song Qingen and Xia Kening to the hospital after Xia Kening accidentally revealed that Song Mingyuan had undergone heart surgery without telling his father. Song Qingen spoke privately with Song Mingyuan while Song Yunshen comforted Xia Kening outside, and the chapter ended with Xia Kening offering Song Mingyuan an apple.
Song Yunshen learned that his father expected to leave the hospital on Saturday and made plans with Xia Yunuo and his friends to visit a cat café after the classroom move. The Future Diary then revealed that in 2030 Xia Kening would invite him home for dinner, leaving him puzzled about how their relationship had changed.
Song Yunshen read Xia Kening’s diary entry and inferred that she might have been his first love, while Xia Jinshu read his latest diary and grew excited about a possible cat-café outing. He messaged Xia Yunuo to ask about changing seats, but his vague reply left her confused and disappointed.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo agreed that she would ask Teacher Zhang to let them become deskmates, while Song Yunshen privately asked Xia Jinshu and Xia Kening about their favorite cats. He went to bed after gathering the information for plans he kept secret from both sisters.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo became deskmates after Zhang Zhidong approved Xia Yunuo’s request to sit beside a strong math student. After moving their things, Song Yunshen and their friends visited Song Jiaxuan’s pet hospital to choose cats for the cat café, where Xia Yunuo realized Song Yunshen had selected two cats for her older and younger sisters.
Song Jiaxuan brought Song Yunshen, Xia Yunuo, and their friends to her cat café to introduce the newly chosen cats and discuss Xia Yunuo’s future part-time job. The group named several cats, and the chapter ended with Xia Yunuo blushing after hearing Song Yunshen privately imagine her wearing a maid outfit at his home.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo spent the day with their classmates, the Song sisters, and Yingying, while Song Yunshen’s friends caught sight of him meeting his tutor, Xia Jinshu, on his scooter. Xu Zhuoyue recognized Xia Jinshu as a high-achieving student at their school, and Zhong Long began wondering about Song Yunshen’s relationships with her and Xia Yunuo.
Song Yunshen and Xia Jinshu prepared for Song Mingyuan’s discharge and planned a welcome-home dinner with Xia Jinshu’s grandparents. That night, Xia Jinshu read Song Yunshen’s diary while Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening argued over their plans and their rivalry over him.
Xia Kening spent the morning teasing Song Yunshen before he promised to take her out that evening, while Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo watched Your Name and discussed what they would do if they swapped bodies. Xia Yunuo grew grateful that Song Yunshen had been the one to swap with her younger sister, but their conversation was interrupted when Song Wantang arrived and told Song Yunshen to get ready to go with her.
Song Mingyuan was discharged from the hospital and returned home, where Song Yunshen spent the day with Xia Yunuo, Xia Jinshu, and his family. The chapter ended when Xia Kening entered the house and froze after seeing Song Mingyuan and Song Wantang.
Xia Kening arrived at Song Yunshen’s home unexpectedly and met his father, Song Mingyuan, and aunt, Song Wantang, before Song Yunshen took her to a cat café as his surprise. There, they encountered Song Jiaxuan, while Xia Yunuo was also working at the café, leaving an awkward reunion imminent.
Song Yunshen spent the evening helping Xia Yunuo practice at the cat café while learning about her plans to save her wages, and Xia Kening named a tabby cat Spicy Strip. After Song Yunshen, Xia Yunuo, and Xia Kening left the café, he realized his electric scooter could not carry all three of them.
Song Yunshen rode home from Wanda Plaza with Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening, then got caught carrying two passengers and avoided a fine by posting a self-criticism on Moments. Later, he met Xia Jinshu on the rooftop for vocabulary practice, where she promised him a surprise before the English exam.
Song Yunshen explained his overloaded scooter ride to his classmates and father, then read Xia Jinshu’s future diary about their birthday and the moment she chose him over a cosplay character. The chapter ended with Xia Jinshu spotting new writing in Song Yunshen’s diary and eagerly sitting up to read it.
Xia Jinshu read Song Yunshen’s diary about his father’s discharge, his close calls with Xia Kening and Xia Yunuo, and his rooftop visit with her. The next day, Song Mingyuan watched his son spend time with both girls and Xia Jinshu, then decided to return to work early to escape the constant commotion at home.
Song Yunshen went to breakfast with Xia Yunuo and Song Mingyuan, who had returned to work, while the adults discussed their businesses. Xia Yunuo worried about her family’s finances after hearing Zhao Zeheng predict trouble for the short-drama industry, and Song Mingyuan left knowing Zhao Zeheng still did not know about Xia Jinshu.
Song Yunshen took Xia Jinshu to the cat café, where she named a blue cat QQ Candy. Her choice made him realize that the snacks she had taken from his home were for Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening, not herself, leaving him quietly troubled.
Xia Jinshu grew closer to QQ Candy and spent the afternoon with Song Yunshen before the two went out for barbecue. Song Jiaxuan and Song Jiayao spotted them eating together, mistook their affectionate interaction for something suspicious, and confronted Song Yunshen, who was left to explain himself.
Song Yunshen spent the last day of summer vacation with Xia Jinshu and Xia Kening, then recorded the events in his diary, which Xia Jinshu read and tried to interpret. As the new term began at Ningjiang Middle School, Song Yunshen and Xia Jinshu exchanged messages about seeing each other at school.
On the first day of school, Song Yunshen met Xia Yunuo for breakfast, helped drop Yingying off at kindergarten, and went with Xia Yunuo to Ningjiang Middle School. As they settled into their new class as deskmates, Xia Yunuo grew uneasy when she heard Song Yunshen planned to visit Xia Jinshu.
Song Yunshen reconciled with Xia Yunuo after she discovered Xia Kening had copied his summer homework, then noticed Cao Shuhan’s interest in her when the new students arrived. Wei Zhile and Song Yu'an joined Class 5 as Song Yunshen’s cousins, and he invited them to have lunch with him and Xia Yunuo.
Xia Yunuo secretly left Xu Zhuoyue off the list of students who had not handed in their summer homework, and he promised to treat Song Yunshen to lunch in return. While carrying and distributing new textbooks, Xia Yunuo got acquainted with Song Yunshen’s cousin Wei Zhile, then spent the remaining self-study time playing five-in-a-row with Song Yunshen.
Song Yunshen spent lunch with his classmates, then secretly planned to visit Xia Jinshu under the pretext of their English Club connection. Xia Yunuo overheard his thoughts and felt hurt when she realized he intended to see her older sister.
Xia Yunuo spent the school’s flag-raising ceremony hearing Song Yunshen think about her sisters, while Song Yunshen shared his paper fan with her and arranged to sit beside her. After the ceremony and a class meeting, Song Yunshen went to find Xia Jinshu with the letter he had written, leaving Xia Yunuo feeling unable to stop him.
Xia Jinshu waited for Song Yunshen at school, then went to find him and met him in the corridor. After they exchanged English letters, Song Yunshen teased her by calling her “Mama Xia,” leaving Xia Jinshu embarrassed and unexpectedly reluctant for him to stop.
