Song Yunshen and Xia Kening continued adjusting to their swapped bodies while wondering how to switch back. At lunch, Xia Kening invited Xia Yunuo to eat with her, and Xia Yunuo agreed to dine together instead of accepting a treat.
In Song Yunshen’s body, Xia Kening ate lunch with her second sister, Xia Yunuo, and struggled to hide her sadness at how little Xia Yunuo ate. Xia Yunuo wondered why she could no longer hear Song Yunshen’s thoughts, and the loss left her wary but unexpectedly lonely.
While trapped in Xia Kening’s body, Song Yunshen struggled with the discomfort of her figure and fended off Xu Lingcheng’s persistent advances. Meanwhile, Xia Kening heard Xu Zhuoyue suggest that she and Xia Jinshu were dating, leaving her stunned by the apparent connection between her sister and Song Yunshen.
After school, Xia Kening returned to Song Yunshen’s home and called him to report how she had managed their body swap. Song Yunshen learned that she had asked Xia Yunuo to lunch because Xu Zhuoyue claimed he was pursuing her, leaving him indignant over the rumor.
Xia Kening and Song Yunshen compared what happened during their day while living in each other’s bodies, discussing Xia Yunuo, their classmates, and the next day’s English exam. Song Yunshen ended by revealing that a boy had confessed to him, and Xia Kening reacted as if it had happened before.
Song Yunshen told Xia Kening that Xu Lingcheng had confessed to her because he liked being beaten up by her, prompting them to discuss her previous unwanted confessions and tease each other about their body swap. They agreed to meet on Saturday if they still had not switched back, though Xia Kening rejected Song Yunshen’s suggestion that kissing might help.
Song Yunshen and Xia Kening discussed their exams and the awkward rules of sharing bodies, while Xia Kening privately wrestled with the intimacy and their uncertain future. Meanwhile, Xia Jinshu noticed that Song Yunshen had left his diary blank and felt unsettled by the missing entry.
After waking up in his own body, Song Yunshen confirmed that he and Xia Kening had switched back after sleeping. Their teasing messages left them unsure what triggered the swap and wary that it could happen again.
Xia Kening reflected on her body swap with Song Yunshen and snapped at Xu Lingcheng when he approached her. Song Yunshen went to school after breakfast with his aunt and uncle, while Xia Yunuo discovered she could hear his thoughts again.
During morning self-study, Song Yunshen joked with Xu Zhuoyue while Xia Yunuo overheard his thoughts about her and her sisters and grew suspicious of how well he knew them. After the English exam, Song Yunshen invited Xia Yunuo to eat with him, and she agreed.
Song Yunshen asked Xia Yunuo to review his English exam with him, then secretly bought her lunch while she tried to refuse. As they left the cafeteria line, Xia Yunuo heard his thoughts about her diet and figure and was touched until his comments embarrassed and angered her.
Xia Yunuo and Song Yunshen ate lunch together, and she accepted his offer to accompany her when she asked Teacher Song about tutoring. The chapter left them back in the classroom, where Xia Yunuo had secretly bought Song Yunshen iced black tea.
Song Yunshen arranged a Sunday lunch and library date with Xia Yunuo, then read a new entry in the Future Diary and questioned whether it reflected changes to the future. He ended the night teasing Xia Kening over messages about his exam and their next possible soul swap.
Song Yunshen discussed hiring Xia Jinshu as his tutor with his father, then wrote a diary entry about his interactions with Xia Yunuo and his plans for the next day. After reading it, Xia Jinshu worried that Song Yunshen was getting close to her sister and asked Xia Yunuo whether they had eaten lunch together.
Xia Jinshu discussed her tutoring plans with Xia Yunuo and their mother, Yan Zhenxia, after reassuring her sister that she was only concerned about her. When Xia Jinshu revealed that her prospective student was Song Yunshen, Yan Zhenxia recognized the name and concealed that he was their landlord’s son.
Song Yunshen finished his technology exam and arranged to borrow Kang Ping’s summer homework before hearing Xia Yunuo think about visiting Teacher Song. He followed her out of the classroom, leaving the reason for her visit unresolved.
Xia Yunuo asked Song Minggui for help finding summer tutoring work, and Zhang Zhidong explained that her family wanted her to gain experience. After Song Yunshen helped her feel at ease, she offered to let him copy her summer homework if he insisted.
Song Yunshen asked Song Minggui about tutoring rates and made sure Xia Yunuo would not be charged an unaffordable agency fee. He brought Xia Yunuo chips at lunchtime, and she asked if he wanted to eat with her.
Xia Yunuo overheard Song Yunshen thinking that he planned to have lunch with her sister, Xia Jinshu, and hurried after him, feeling betrayed and wondering whether they were friends. Song Yunshen and Xia Jinshu met at the cafeteria, but when Xia Yunuo arrived, they ducked into a stairwell, where Song Yunshen wondered if their secretive meeting resembled his imagined future affair.
Song Yunshen and Xia Jinshu hid in the stairwell, then went out for braised chicken and rice after he showed her a buy-one-get-one-free coupon. At the restaurant, Song Minggui, Zhang Zhidong, and Jiang Wenpei discussed helping Xia Yunuo with tutoring costs, then spotted Song Yunshen with a girl as they prepared to leave.
Xia Jinshu accompanied Song Yunshen to a restaurant, where they agreed on the terms for her to tutor him over summer vacation. As they began their meal, a woman who knew Song Yunshen mistook Xia Jinshu for his girlfriend.
The author reflected on his father’s death, his grief, and how friends helped him regain some vitality as he finished his old book and began a new one. He concluded that writing made him happy and hoped his novels could bring readers happiness too.
Song Yunshen introduced Xia Jinshu to his aunt, who treated them to a meal and bet that Xia could raise his English score to 120 for free meals at her restaurant. After discussing their tutoring arrangement, Song invited Xia to visit his home before they finalized the contract.
Song Minggui, Zhang Zhidong, and Jiang Wenpei learned that Song Yunshen had hired Xia Jinshu as his summer English tutor and debated whether they should interfere. Zhang Zhidong decided to leave the arrangement alone, while Song Wantang vowed to protect Xia Jinshu; unaware they had been watching him, Song Yunshen left with her to print their contract and take her home.
Xia Jinshu visited Song Yunshen’s home for the first time, where he showed her the study they would use for tutoring. They reviewed and signed the tutoring contract, leaving Xia Jinshu ready to teach him over the summer.
