In the third year of high school, I exchanged bodies with Yukinoshita

Author: Qingfeng Chuiyue

Summary:

At the end of midsummer, during a lunch break, I exchanged bodies with a stranger from a parallel universe.

My name is Zuo Yu. I’m a senior high school student. I’m enjoying the high school life with five days off and eleven days off, and living a colorful youth on the black and white test papers.

The person who exchanged bodies with me was called Yukinoshita Yukino. She was a freshman in high school and lived a busy high school life. There was no trace of her in the colorful high school.

The two people were originally from parallel time and space, living parallel lives that never intersected, but they began to intersect because of the body exchange.

Volume One

Chapter 1: Taking classes like this?

The August sun was torturing the earth at Ancheng No. 2 Middle School, when lunch break was almost over.

Li Shu gently poked his deskmate with the end of his pen, "Zuo Yu, get up! The head teacher is coming soon."

Zuo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, took a look at the surrounding environment, and then most of his sleepiness disappeared.

Li Shu didn't know that her deskmate Zuo Yu had completely changed into a different person, and now the consciousness inside was Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the blackboard in front of her and the textbook on the table, reminding herself that she was in the classroom. She glanced at the test paper on the table and found that most of it was in Chinese characters, which she couldn't understand. Her head suddenly began to swell and itch. Slowly, she was able to understand the Chinese characters. The name column on the test paper was written as Zuo Yu. It seemed that this was the name of this body. Next to the name was the grade, which was written as Senior 1 ().

The books on the table in front of her were piled up on the side by the window. The curtains blocked the scorching sun outside. Yukinoshita Yukino watched as the books on the table were sorted by subject. So, what should she do?

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino was still sorting out the situation, a concise and capable teacher walked in. "Three minutes. If you're still awake, go to the bathroom and rinse your face. Students near the window, open the curtains."

While Yukinoshita Yukino's brain was still digesting the information, her body had already stood up and opened the curtains. The sunlight illuminated the originally dim classroom. She looked at the students in front of her, who were still sleeping with their heads covered. While she was wondering whether to wake them up, her students in front of her were already awakened by the sunlight. They spoke to her in a daze, "Let's go to the bathroom."

"No, forget it." Yukinoshita Yukino replied coldly.

The boy in front of him was a little confused, but he didn't say much. He said to his deskmate: "Class monitor, let's go. We'll go together."

Yukinoshita Yukino watched the two of them go away. At this time, the memory of this body began to gradually awaken, telling herself that the boy who had just spoken to her was this body's best friend, named Fang Xuan.

The female classmate next to him saw Zuo Yu looking down in deep thought and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the female classmate next to her. The memory of this body told her that this classmate was called Li Shu.

"It's okay, I just didn't get enough sleep." Yukinoshita Yukino said perfunctorily, her tone still a little cold.

Li Shu felt a little strange when he saw Zuo Yu's tone suddenly become a little cold. He looked at his deskmate carefully and wondered why he seemed like a different person after taking a nap. His personality had changed so much. He was probably still in a bad mood after waking up.

The students in the class gradually returned to their seats, but Fang Xuan did not return to his seat. Instead, he walked to the podium to operate the computer, turned on the projector, found the music player, and spoke happily.

"Get up, it's time to sing the class song."

What's going on? There's no class. Why are we singing?

Although Yukinoshita Yukino was filled with doubts, she still stood up and sang along softly as the memories gradually came to her mind. After finishing the song, the class leader went on stage to shout slogans.

Is this what school here is like? Yukinoshita wondered in her heart.

As the passionate chants ended, the bell rang. The homeroom teacher, seated at the podium, watched the class go through the routine and left with satisfaction. A kindly old man then entered. Yukinoshita looked at the class schedule on the blackboard. It was chemistry. But the schedule was too long: five classes in the morning, five in the afternoon, and three more in the evening.

"Classmates, take out the science test papers you did last night. Let's go over the test papers first, and then review the previous knowledge points."

It looks like classes are about to start, and I can finally relax and slowly sort out the current situation.

"Li Shu, tell me what knowledge points there are in the first question." The chemistry teacher came up and started calling the roll.

Li Shu stood up and answered fluently. Yukinoshita glanced at her test paper, which had a lot of knowledge points written on it, and then looked at her own test paper, which had a single answer written on it.

I started to get nervous. I hadn't written anything on the test, so what if I was asked a question? Should I just say I didn't know?

Then, Yukinoshita discovered something very interesting: just by looking at the questions, she could tell which knowledge points were needed. Otherwise, with what she had learned so far, she would not be able to explain why. Now she could only look at the questions first.

The chemistry teacher continued to ask questions one by one. After he finished asking all the multiple-choice questions, he said before moving on to the next question, "From now on, if you get any chemical equations in the textbook wrong, just do it a hundred times and hand it in to the student council. When get out of class is over, Zuo Yu will go to my office to get the special test paper I gave you. Find a time to do it together and leave it on my desk before school ends tonight."

It turns out that the owner of this body is the student council member, and the memory of how to be a student council member is also awakened.

The chemistry teacher began to explain the remaining test questions. Li Shu next to him listened very carefully. Yukinoshita Yukino finally had time to start analyzing the current situation seriously.

From the information I've gathered so far, I've arrived in a neighboring country to start my senior year of high school. Such a dramatic change has occurred after just a night's sleep. So, is this a time travel, or a body swap? Whatever the case, I shouldn't panic. The main thing now is to confirm if this is my home world. It might be worth a try during break; asking others might make me look awkward, so I might as well check on my phone. For now, it's best not to cause a scene and just be a good student.

The class time passed quickly. Although there were still many things that were not clear, Yukinoshita Yukino still helped Zuo Yu organize his notes. As expected, the teacher stayed in class for three minutes. Yukinoshita Yukino followed the teacher to the office to get the test paper. The homeroom teacher and another teacher, a math teacher, were in the office. When she saw Yukinoshita following the chemistry teacher to the office to get the test paper, she got up and went to the classroom to prepare first. Yukinoshita walked in the corridor with the test paper and found that she was the only class in the whole school. The extremely hot weather outside reminded her that it was still summer vacation.

Yukinoshita returned to the classroom and found that the math teacher was already standing on the podium drawing a diagram. She had just put the test paper on the table and was about to look for her phone to see if she could confirm the situation, but the math teacher had already said that class had started. The preparatory bell had not rung yet, but the next class had already started, and there was only about a three-minute break in between. Yukinoshita sighed in her heart, this is how classes are taught here. But it’s better, this way no one will talk to her, and it will be less likely to arouse suspicion. The afternoon math class is held in two consecutive periods, with no break in between. In class, when the math teacher asked the students to do example questions, he looked at the timetable and saw that the next period was supposed to be physical education, which was connected to the last self-study period. As everyone knows, in the third year of high school, physical education is almost equivalent to self-study. Not to mention that there is only one class in the entire grade, and it is impossible for the physical education teacher to come.

The math teacher had a classic idea and said, "It's perfect. After class, you can take a break. The student council and I will go to the office to get the test papers and take a small test. It will test the content we just covered to consolidate our knowledge."

After the third class, there was supposed to be a 15-minute break. The math teacher went through another problem in a classic way, which lasted about 5 minutes. Yukinoshita went to get the test paper again, and after the test paper was distributed, Yukinoshita's break was gone again.

After a period of memory awakening, Yukinoshita roughly knew what the student committee needed to do, and also understood the basic situation of this body. She also found that as long as she did what the students should do, she could speed up the awakening of her memory. The student committee had to sit on the podium to manage order during the self-study class. Yukinoshita picked up her chair and sat on the podium. Just then, the preparatory bell rang. The class almost instantly became quiet, and everyone began to concentrate on doing their own test papers. Looking at this scene, Yukinoshita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was very self-conscious, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to manage them now.

Looking at the black and white test paper before her, Yukinoshita quickly calmed down and began to work on it. Her speed grew faster and faster, and the more memories she recalled. After finishing the test, Yukinoshita looked up at the clock. There were still fifteen minutes until the afternoon school ended. It seemed she couldn't recall any more memories.

Chapter 2: Waking up as a beautiful girl

Zuo Yu, a senior high school student, has excellent grades and is very popular in the class. He was appointed as the study committee member by the head teacher.

Just yesterday, our student council took the rest of the class to an internet cafe for an all-night outing. All night, the five of them slew everything in their path, undefeated. In their final game, feeling the tonight's bloodlust was too much, Zuo Yu suggested a game of Five Swords Under the Heavens to wash away the heat of the night. Confidently locking down Jian Hao, he and his younger brother Jianhun headed for the bottom lane, successfully developing i9, amidst laughter and joy.

The next day, having only suffered one defeat, they spent the entire afternoon catching up on sleep because the battle last night was too brutal.

Zuo Yu mumbled drowsily in his bed, "Haha, my stupid little brother, I'll take this head." Subconsciously realizing he shouldn't have made any noise in class, he began to wake up. He stood up and looked around, realizing something was amiss. First, why was he in bed? Second, why did he seem to have turned into a girl? Finally, where was this place?

This sudden situation cleared Zuo Yu's originally confused mind. Had he traveled through time?

The secondary sexual characteristics of this body are not ideally developed. If I hadn't confirmed that there was something missing down there, I would have suspected that this was a boy's body.

Zuo Yu turned on the phone on his bedside table. The screen saver was a cute cat, and the time displayed was August 8th, 4:2 AM, just as his lunch break was about to end. The year was the same as before his transformation.

Sleeping, male-to-female transformation, body swapping—isn't this the plot of "Your Name"? Is this body Mitsuha Miyamizu? Impossible. Mitsuha isn't that flat.

There are only four people in my phone's contacts: my father, my mother, Hiratsuka-sensei, and my sister. This person's social circle is truly limited. He seems unsociable, so is he trying to exchange with me because he wants to have more friends? Zuo Yu couldn't help but wonder. Let's first address the question of "Who am I?"

What is her name? Let's check if it's written in the textbook.

Yukinoshita Yukino, this is the name of this body, a good name. Suddenly, Zuo Yu's brain began to swell, and he was able to master Japanese fluently. Zuo Yu confirmed that this was a high school textbook, and it was a high school student. When Zuo Yu was looking through the textbook, he found Yukinoshita Yukino's report card in the textbook. This grade was quite impressive, but it was probably far from enough for him to play the role of a senior in high school.

Not bad, really good. I also accelerated my Japanese skills during this wave, so this exchange was worth it.

So, what's the purpose of this body swap? Is it like in "Your Name," where a romance saves the town, or is it like in "Love Random Link," where "Windboat Kudzu" is stirring up trouble? Regardless, there's a reason for the body swap; he doesn't believe it happens for no reason. And usually, people who swap bodies stay together, because the person who swaps bodies is more able to empathize with the other person's situation, understanding their choices and ultimately accepting them. If things continue like this, the two will either become enemies or lovers.

You can tell a lot about a person from their living environment. A person's true nature is often revealed at home without disguise. Zuo Yu began to survey the room. The room was minimalist, emphasizing practicality. Aside from a panda stuffed animal on the bed, there was nothing to suggest this was a girl's room. Living alone, are you having trouble with your family?

Zuo Yu opened the closet and saw several dresses inside. She was from a wealthy family, so she couldn't have moved out because she didn't want to inherit the family business and had a quarrel with her family. So, was this body swap meant to help her return to her family or to help her become independent? Zuo Yu thought. It didn't seem right to have a talented high school student preparing to inherit the family business. Arranged marriages? What era is this still going on?

Zuo Yu sighed. There was so little information to be found. He looked at the computer on the table, wondering if he should conduct a thorough investigation to gain a deeper understanding of Yukinoshita.

Isn't this a bit bad? A voice sounded in his mind. What's wrong with that? You are using Yukinoshita's body now. You are Yukinoshita. What's wrong with your own computer? Not only do you want to look at it, but you also want to check your browsing history. Another voice quickly knocked out the previous thought.

"In order to better play the role of you, Yukinoshita will have to make some sacrifices." Zuo Yu still opened Yukinoshita's computer.

However, the computer was breathtakingly clean. Yukinoshita had nothing on it except browsing cat pictures online. Zuo Yu sorted through some information about Yukinoshita. Her room was clean and tidy, so she was a serious person. Her grades were pretty good, so she was intelligent. Her family had plenty of cats, but she didn't have one, and her relationship with them wasn't very good. She was truly a very serious person, which was a good thing, as she wouldn't mess with her body. However, the problem that followed was that her personal information was pitifully small. Let's solve the question of "where am I?"

Zuo Yu began searching for general information on his computer and discovered some discrepancies with his memory. It was then that Zuo Yu realized they were not in the same world. More precisely, they were in parallel worlds at the same time.

It was a bit confusing. Since they were not in the same world, shouldn't we use our own understanding to look at this body swap? After all, the swaps Zuo Yu knew about were all confined to the same world. Being in a different world didn't mean there would be more room for maneuver.

When he was watching anime again, he had wondered if two souls could exist in one person's body at the same time. If the soul drifted during sleep, and there was a strong attraction between his own soul and his body, could he bring his soul back to his body? In this way, his body would simultaneously contain his own soul and Yukinoshita's soul. If he fell asleep again, would Yukinoshita's soul be attracted back to her own body? This would make this body swap possible, and the two of them could then slowly find the root cause and resolve it.

Zuo Yu had made up his mind. Now, the question was, how could he fall asleep? He had only just woken up an hour ago, and his body wasn't sleepy at all. He was fully alert, even to the point of being completely alert.

Going out for a walk, exercising, and tiring your body should make you sleepy. Zuo Yu opened the door, and the warmth that filled him like a physical object dispelled the idea. Even if it wasn't his body, it was his mind that was suffering. Forget it. If he failed, it would be even worse. He'd better exercise in his room.

Zuo Yu prepared to do a set of HIT to make himself tired, and then try to see if he could fall asleep to verify his guess. Zuo Yu only did half of it, and his body began to feel a little bit exhausted. Yukinoshita's physical fitness was really weak. After the exercise, he went to take a shower. He couldn't sleep covered in sweat. Zuo Yu walked into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Zuo Yu lay down on the bed feeling refreshed. Already mentally exhausted, coupled with the physical exertion, he quickly fell asleep. He seemed to see himself sitting at the podium, doing a test. His consciousness seemed to be gradually absorbed by his body, and slowly he began to regain consciousness. Zuo Yu knew he had succeeded, that he was indeed back, so he asked himself a question in his mind.

"Your name is?"

Chapter 3 Your name

Just when Yukinoshita realized that she could not awaken any more memories, a voice suddenly came from her mind.

"Your name is?"

Yukinoshita Yukino showed a surprised expression, the voice sounded like her own voice.

"I am the owner of this body. You must be Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino. Don't look surprised. I am also surprised that my guess turned out to be correct."

"Yes, I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, what guess are you talking about?"

"You know we're in a soul-swapping situation right now, so I speculated if I could return to my own body if I fell asleep. It seems half of my speculation is successful. The other half of my speculation is that there are currently two souls in my body. If you use my body to sleep, could you return to your own body? In this way, our two souls can return to their respective homes."

"Well, it sounds like we need to try it. Then I'll go to sleep now." Yukinoshita was a little impatient to end this situation.

Zuo Yu saw that Xuexia was about to lie down on the podium and prepare to sleep, so he quickly stopped her.

"Hold on, don't be anxious. Can you sleep in this situation?"

Yukinoshita paused, thinking carefully. It wasn't a good idea to sleep on the podium, and since she was about to collect the exams, the timing wasn't right. It seemed her urge to change back was too strong, and she'd lost her composure.

"After school, collect the test papers first and ask Li Shu to bring you some food. Then try again when there are fewer people in the class." Li Shu suggested.

"it is good."

When the bell rang, Yukinoshita was about to walk down from the podium to collect the papers one by one. Zuo Yu found this a bit strange, because he usually collected the papers by having students pass them from the back to the front.

"No need to go down and collect them, they will pass them up by themselves."

Yukinoshita paused in her motion to stand, watching as the test papers were passed one by one to the first row, who then handed them to her. So this was how he usually collected the papers. She walked into the office and placed the papers on the desk. Li Shu, Fang Xuan, and a girl nearby were waiting for her outside.

"That shorter girl is Li Shu, my deskmate and number one student. That boy is Fang Xuan, we've been friends since we were little. The girl next to Fang Xuan is his girlfriend, Yan Meng. They've been dating since elementary school." Zuo Yu began to introduce them to Xueshita, feeling a little strange about introducing his friends to "himself." "Just give Li Shu the meal card in your pocket, and she'll know what you mean."

Yukinoshita did as Zuo Yu said and handed the meal card to Li Shu.

"Is it the same as usual, a meat sandwich and a bottle of tea?" Li Shu asked.

"Correct."

Fang Xuan, who was standing by, saw Zuo Yu's meal card being handed to Li Shu and jokingly said, "Looks like I can have a free dinner today."

"Master, don't worry, I won't let him touch your meal card." Li Shu quickly put the meal card in his pocket.

Yan Meng also followed, "Oh, Li Shu starts protecting the teacher again." Seeing the two of them starting to make a fuss, Yukinoshita was a little at a loss.

"Tell them to stop making trouble and go eat quickly. I need to catch up on my sleep." Zuo Yu looked at the familiar scene before him, feeling a sense of loss. He was feeling everything he knew with his senses, but he couldn't say the familiar words. Let's get this resolved quickly.

Yukinoshita repeated Zuo Yu's words and lay on Zuo Yu's desk, trying to see if she could fall asleep. Zuo Yu stopped talking and watched quietly in his mind.

------

Yan Meng walked in the middle, holding Li Shu's left hand and Fang Xuan's right hand, and they went to the cafeteria together.

"I always feel that something is wrong with Zuo Yu today. I asked him to go to the toilet at noon today, but he didn't go. It looks like our friendship is over." Fang Xuan teased Li Shu on the way to the cafeteria.

"He just didn't get enough sleep. I noticed he wasn't in great shape this afternoon. It's all your fault for taking him out all night yesterday." Li Shu defended.

"You really support Zuo Yu. Do you like him so much?" Yan Meng pressed on.

"No, I just respect him." Li Shu denied it hastily, his face flushed. Anyone would think he was being stubborn.

"Really, if you like him, confess your feelings to him as soon as possible. You're already in your third year of high school. If you don't seize the opportunity now, it will be difficult to get in touch with him in the future. He's handsome, tall, and has good grades. Not to mention his family conditions, he also has a good personality. He's a definite high-quality stock. If you don't seize the opportunity now, you'll definitely be pursued by someone else in the future. Don't cry then." Yan Meng suggested to Li Shu.

"How can he have a good personality? He even beat me on the head in the last hand yesterday and didn't even let me start." Fang Xuan was a little jealous.

"What's wrong? You're still jealous of your best friend. You're such a jealous idiot." Yan Meng reached out and pinched Fang Xuan's face. "Don't worry. I'm not saying this just to help Zuo Yu find a partner. You'll always be my number one priority in my eyes."

"In short, I don't have that kind of feeling for him. It's not love." Li Shu was still being stubborn.

"Yes, yes, you didn't like him. You just thanked him for teaching you and brought him food and water every day."

"That was just mutual help between classmates. He even helped me move my desk and books."

"Zuo Yu is truly a heinous criminal. He used only a few tricks to bewitch my Li Shu so much that he's completely captivated. He truly has the potential to be a scumbag."

"You are not allowed to speak ill of my beloved teacher."

"Yo yo yo, you even added the word xin ai to it, and you still said you don't like him."

"I'm not, I didn't."
