After Song Yunshen woke from a nightmare, Xia Jinshu stayed for their lesson and later celebrated her mother Yan Zhenxia’s birthday with her sisters. That night, Xia Jinshu discovered Song Yunshen’s earlier diary entries had vanished, then read his new entry and learned his mother had died; she suspected he had burned the old diary at her grave.
After reading Song Yunshen’s diary about his father hiding heart surgery and his lasting grief over his mother’s death, Xia Jinshu went to comfort him. She listened as he shared his feelings, and he ended the evening calmer and agreed to talk with his father.
Song Yunshen agreed to bring Xia Jinshu’s home-cooked dinner to his father and coordinated separate morning plans with Xia Yunuo and Xia Kening. Xia Kening went to wake him with a prank, and the chapter ended with her sharing leftover birthday cake while Song Yunshen hid that Xia Jinshu had brought him some the night before.
Song Yunshen paid Xia Kening her video earnings and persuaded her to copy his summer homework before gaming with her. Xia Yunuo joined them, then went out to Wanda Plaza with Song Yunshen, where they unexpectedly encountered his cousin Song Jiaxuan at a cat café.
Song Yunshen and Xia Yunuo visited a cat café, where they learned Song Jiaxuan was considering taking it over to help stray cats find homes. They then went to barbecue together, and Xia Yunuo felt proud to treat Song Yunshen with her first wages.
Song Yunshen arranged a part-time job for Xia Yunuo at Song Jiaxuan’s cat café to ease her worries about spending her wages, then secretly hoped the extra income would help her buy new clothes. Xia Yunuo realized his real reason was to see her in a short skirt and asked him to help pick out clothes, leaving him browsing options while she tutored Yingying.
Xia Yunuo found more than thirty outfits Song Yunshen had saved and decided to earn money so she could buy the clothes herself. Meanwhile, Xia Jinshu cooked a light meal for Song Mingyuan and accompanied Song Yunshen to the hospital, where Song Mingyuan reconciled with his son and agreed to accept more dinners from them.
Song Yunshen and Xia Jinshu returned to his apartment after visiting his father in the hospital, while Xia Kening hid in the bedroom to avoid being discovered. After Xia Jinshu left, Song Yunshen punished Xia Kening for sneaking around, and she later went home with secret information to share with Xia Yunuo.
Xia Kening told Xia Yunuo that Song Yunshen’s father had undergone heart surgery, prompting Xia Yunuo to plan to check on Song Yunshen at school. Meanwhile, Song Yunshen read a Future Diary entry about becoming Xia Yunuo’s deskmate, and Xia Yunuo ordered a dress after teasing him over messages.
Xia Yunuo agreed to wait until Saturday to wear her new dress and offered to cook lunch for Song Mingyuan, revealing her jealousy over Xia Jinshu’s earlier kindness to Song Yunshen’s family. Song Yunshen reassured her that he wanted her cooking to be a privilege between them, and the chapter ended with Song Mingyuan learning that lunch would not be delivered and deciding to confront Song Yunshen the next day.
Xia Yunuo wore a new dress to visit Song Yunshen, who admired her outfit before they watched a horror movie together. Afterward, she was still frightened and asked him to stay with her.
Song Yunshen took Xia Yunuo to see Song Jiaxuan’s cat café renovation, where Xia Yunuo suggested a way to let passersby feed and pet the cats. After they prepared lunch for Song Mingyuan and headed to the hospital, Xia Yunuo overheard Song Yunshen thinking that her sister Xia Jinshu had visited before, and decided she would go too.
Song Yunshen brought Xia Yunuo and his relatives to visit his hospitalized father, Song Mingyuan, who was surprised when Xia Yunuo revealed she had made his lunch. As Song Mingyuan enjoyed the meal and explained how his family had arranged his heart surgery, Xia Yunuo learned just how large and well-connected the Song family was.
Song Yunshen brought Xia Jinshu to visit his father with dinner after Xia Jinshu realized that Xia Yunuo had also used his kitchen to make lunch. The chapter ended with Xia Jinshu checking Song Yunshen’s diary to find out who had cooked that lunch.
Xia Jinshu read Song Yunshen’s diary and learned that Xia Yunuo had also cooked for Uncle Song, while Song Yunshen chatted with the three girls and took a suggestive call from Xia Jinshu. The next morning, Song Yunshen woke in a familiar living room and realized he and Xia Kening had swapped again.
Xia Yunuo realized Song Yunshen and Xia Kening had swapped souls again, while Song Yunshen awkwardly left her alone in the bathroom. At Song Yunshen’s home, Xia Kening discovered the swap, smelled something strange in his trash, and took revenge on him before they went to breakfast together.
Song Yunshen and Xia Kening spent the morning gaming before heading to Wanda Plaza, where Xia Kening tried archery in Song Yunshen’s body. The outing left Song Yunshen nursing a painful bowstring injury while Xia Kening struggled not to laugh.
Song Yunshen and Xia Kening spent the morning at an entertainment center and went for barbecue before separating so they could keep Yingying company during her lesson. Xia Kening, in Song Yunshen’s body, tried to appease Xia Yunuo, who secretly used the lesson to make her give Yingying a pony ride, while Song Yunshen got stuck outside Xia Kening’s home without the door code.
Song Yunshen entered Xia Kening’s home while swapped into her body and discovered Xia Jinshu was there, then teased Xia Kening by revealing he had long known the three sisters were related. Xia Jinshu caught him messaging and made him do summer homework, leaving him trapped under her supervision.
Song Yunshen, inhabiting Xia Kening’s body, arranged for Xia Jinshu to ride the electric scooter by pretending Xia Kening had sprained her wrist. Xia Kening discovered that Xia Jinshu treated Song Yunshen with unexpected intimacy and resolved to question him after their grocery trip.
While Xia Kening and Song Yunshen continued living in each other’s bodies, Xia Kening shopped with Xia Jinshu, attended an English lesson, and delivered dinner to Song Mingyuan. Song Mingyuan mistook Xia Kening’s offer of a peeled apple for a request for money and transferred Song Yunshen 1,000 yuan, leaving the two to argue over what Xia Kening had meant by holding up one finger.
Song Yunshen and Xia Kening switched WeChat accounts so Xia Kening could take Xia Jinshu’s nightly vocabulary call while Song Yunshen stayed in Xia Kening’s body at her home. After Xia Yunuo prevented him from joining Yan Zhenxia in the bath, Xia Yunuo handed him a hair dryer and asked him to dry her hair.
Xia Yunuo arranged to sleep in the living room bed with Song Yunshen, who was inhabiting Xia Kening’s body, after worrying about him sharing a bed with Yan Zhenxia. The chapter ended with Song Yunshen lying awkwardly beside Xia Yunuo and asking what she wanted to discuss.
Xia Jinshu waited for Song Yunshen’s diary entry while Yan Zhenxia told her how she had found work at a small short-drama studio. Meanwhile, Song Yunshen, in Xia Kening’s body, slept beside Xia Yunuo, who tried to explain her tutoring job and gave Xia Kening pocket money; Xia Jinshu went to bed without learning where Song Yunshen was.
After Xia Yunuo and Song Yunshen quietly dealt with the awkwardness of sharing a bed during the soul swap, Xia Kening spent the day studying and tutoring before accidentally revealing Song Mingyuan’s surgery to Song Qingen. Song Qingen headed to the hospital with Xia Kening, who messaged Song Yunshen to come help.
