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

Li Shu first glanced at the arrogant Chu Xiaozhu, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Yukinoshita Yukino also stood up and prepared to leave with Li Shu. She really couldn't stand Chu Xiaozhu's behavior anymore, it was too arrogant.

"Zuo Yu, don't leave. We haven't spoken in almost three months. You haven't contacted me since I accompanied you on the trip to Iceland."

"Is this happening?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment when she stood up. It was obvious that Zuo Yu had not told her about this.

"Well, actually, we ran into each other by chance. Didn't we talk at that time?"

A chance encounter?

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered what Zuo Yu had done. She no longer believed that it was an accidental encounter. She believed that it was a long-planned "encounter".

"...Weren't you the one who secretly followed me? And then pretended to meet me by chance?"

"It's just a coincidence. I heard from Aunt Wang that you went to Iceland alone, and then I happened to want to go there too, so we ran into each other there. It was a coincidence."

I went to Iceland alone three months ago.

If it is an exact time, after experiencing the high-intensity study here, Yukinoshita Yukino feels that the only time Zuo Yu can squeeze out to travel abroad is during the summer vacation.

Yukinoshita Yukino sorted out the timeline, which means that Zuo Yu went to Iceland alone during the summer vacation.

"If it was just one time, I could still believe it was an accident, but..."

Once this happens, there will be a second time.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the not-so-bright Chu Xiaozhu in front of her and chose to ask her a few more questions to see if she could get more information about Zuo Yu from her.

"Those few times were just coincidences... Never mind. Ever since your uncle and aunt had the car accident, you've been enjoying traveling alone during the holidays. I didn't just want to travel with you because you felt so lonely."

As Chu Xiaozhu spoke, she gave Li Shu a provocative look who had not chosen to leave.

Li Shu did not accept her provocation and just sat next to "Zuo Yu".

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Chu Xiaozhu's childish behavior and thought to herself that she was indeed not very smart. Someone who expressed her emotions so directly was indeed not very cunning.

However, is Zuo Yu the type of person who would choose to travel alone during the holidays?

Yukinoshita Yukino originally thought Zuo Yu was the type of person who would stay at home and play games, and last night she even sympathized with Zuo Yu's usual state at home...

But now...

I was probably overthinking it at the time.

Zuo Yu is not the kind of person who would lock himself up in his room at home, but the kind of person who would take the initiative to go out and have fun.

"By the way, do you have any plans this afternoon? I've made an appointment at the shooting experience center here. I remember you loved it when you were a kid. Back then, you even liked to play with the bullets your second uncle took out from the shooting range."

Chu Xiaozhu was still provoking Li Shu, and was frantically revealing things about Zuo Yu's childhood.

This helped Yukinoshita Yukino better understand the relationship between Zuo Yu and Chu Xiaozhu. It seemed that Chu Xiaozhu had known Zuo Yu since she was very young.

"I don't play much anymore because I don't have time. And I'm going back by bus in the afternoon, so... I won't go."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to be alone with this arrogant guy, so she quickly said that she didn't have time in the afternoon.

"Alas... it's like this again. When we were in high school, I told you to come to my private high school. We have two days off a week, 8 am to 5 pm, and there are club activities, so you have plenty of private time. But you insisted on staying in that small city high school, living a dark life."

“I feel like I can learn more there.”

"It's useless. We can all choose to study abroad to gain experience, and then work under the arrangement of our family. Learning so much actually doesn't improve us."

Chu Xiaozhu pointed at Li Shu and said, "Studying is to change the fate of people like them, not people like us."

Are Zuo Yu’s family conditions so good?

And according to Chu Xiaozhu, Zuo Yu could also live the same life as himself, but he did not choose to leave that small city. He chose to live the life of an ordinary high school student.

Yukinoshita Yukino continued to learn about Zuo Yu's information from Chu Xiaozhu.

Unlike Zuo Yu who knew her family very well, Yukinoshita Yukino only knew a few simple things about Zuo Yu's family: that his family was rich and that his parents had died in an accident.

She didn't understand the rest.

The current Chu Xiaozhu is just the right person to fully understand Zuo Yu's family situation.

"Anyway, your uncle has already taken over most of the family business, so you don't have to worry about the rest. I really don't understand why you still want to study. Don't you want to leave that small city?"

"But forget it. If you really like staying there, I can go there and keep you company. It's not impossible for me to spend the rest of my life with you in that villa. I've made such a big concession. Don't you have any ideas?"

Chu Xiaozhu said that she could also stay in that small city and spend the rest of her life with Zuo Yu.

"No need. Let me emphasize this again. I will never fall for someone as arrogant as you. It's like the world revolves around you. If you think it's unfair for you to spend the rest of your life with me in that villa, then it's not unfair for you, the princess. Li Shu, let's go."

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that she had reached the limit of her tolerance. If she continued to listen to Chu Xiaozhu, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but beat her with Zuo Yu's body.

She pulled Li Shu away together, and Chu Xiaozhu even said as she watched "Zuo Yu" and Li Shu leave together: "If you really like her, you can treat her as a lover, and I can accept that. This is the biggest concession I can make."

What an unreasonable woman! No wonder Zuo Yu asked me to pay more attention to her. I even wanted to criticize her.

While having lunch with Li Shu, Yukinoshita Yukino was still thinking about Chu Xiaozhu. She still didn't understand why there were such self-righteous people in the world.

However, I did get a lot of information about Zuo Yu, so that stupid guy was of some use.

"Don't take her words to heart. That fool doesn't think before he speaks."

Yukinoshita Yukino comforted Li Shu, who was stunned by Chu Xiaozhu's extreme words. She was obviously frightened by Chu Xiaozhu's last words.

"I don't take it seriously, it's just... never mind. There's no need to understand a fool's confidence. But, Master, you must never be with that woman."

"Definitely."

I have to say that the fact that Li Shu didn't make much noise just now made Yukinoshita Yukino have a better impression of her.

At least she was a normal person, and there was no situation where two women had a big fight and made the boy lose face.

"After lunch, we should prepare to go back."

......

Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting on the high-speed train looking at Zuo Yu's mobile phone. The screen showed a photo of "Zuo Yu" taking a photo with a panda.

Actually, she asked Li Shu to help her take a photo of herself and the panda, but she was using Zuo Yu's body, so she couldn't leave anything behind. She couldn't leave any photos of herself, so she could only leave this kind of thing...

Taking advantage of the free time in the car, Yukinoshita Yukino began to sort out the information she got from Chu Xiaozhu.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little disappointed that she couldn't see the panda for a longer time, she still gained a lot from this trip because she got a lot of information about Zuo Yu.

It would have been better if I hadn’t met Chu Xiaozhu.

First of all, Zuo Yu is a person who travels alone, but this seems to have started after Zuo Yu's parents passed away. In other words, Zuo Yu used to travel with his parents.

Secondly, Zuo Yu didn't have to bear the burden of family pressure. Unlike me, one of me and my sister had to take over the family business. This meant that Zuo Yu didn't have to work so hard to maintain his first place in the class, and there was no need for him to live this kind of life.

Finally, the villa Chu Xiaozhu mentioned should be Zuo Yu's villa where she lives now. That villa should be the villa where Zuo Yu and his parents once lived together.

Chu Xiaozhu specifically mentioned the villa, and Ji Zanyue didn't seem to have entered Zuo Yu's house when he helped to get something.

Is there any secret in Zuo Yu's family?

Or is it a special existence for Zuo Yu?

Prison, Yukinoshita Yukino thought of this word. Zuo Yu had said this to her during their first body swap.

To her, home was like a prison that imprisoned her soul. But looking back now, could it be that Zuo Yu was able to say this because he, like herself, was trapped by what had happened at home?

Just like he once wanted to escape from the constraints of his home, was Zuo Yu also bound in the villa where his parents once lived?

The constraints I felt at the time were the hope that I could change because of my parents' lack of expectations. These were the constraints I set for myself... I wanted to be better than my sister, and I wanted to take on some of the household chores for her.

Then the bondage that Zuo Yu felt should be what was shown in that dream...the departure of his parents.

Is Zuo Yu still trapped in the shadow of his parents' departure?

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little shocked when she came to this conclusion.

No wonder two people exchanged memories the second time they exchanged bodies.

That was the key to solving the problem. Zuo Yu realized it the first time and then helped himself solve it.

And I only realized it when it was almost the last exchange.

No wonder Zuo Yu's attitude suddenly changed so much after I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with him.

His unconscious desire to imitate what had happened in Zuo Yu's dream just happened to help him win over Zuo Yu.

Wait a moment......

This way, Zuo Yu wasn’t lying when he said he liked me yesterday!!!

Yukinoshita Yukino realized the reason why Zuo Yu suddenly changed his attitude towards relationships in the past few days. After Zuo Yu exchanged bodies with her, he said to his sister, "Your sister is so cute," which meant that he was attracted to her.

As a result, a few days ago, I thought Zuo Yu was trying to trick me into confessing...

What was I thinking at that time!

Is my mission to pull Zuo Yu out of that villa?

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the other photos on Zuo Yu's phone, which showed traces of Zuo Yu's travels to various countries. There were many photos taken when Zuo Yu was traveling alone on his phone, and most of them were of him alone.

However, the happy smile that Yukinoshita Yukino showed when she looked at Zuo Yu in the photo came from her heart, and did not seem to be a deliberate smile.

She began to doubt her conclusion.

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered the game that Zuo Yu asked her to play. She had already completed the ninth chapter in her free time.

Yukinoshita Yukino still remembers that the main theme of Chapter 9 is to tell people to accept the departure of their loved ones.

Since Zuo Yu has already played that game and passed Chapter 9, he should be able to understand what the author of that game wants to express.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the photos taken when Zuo Yu went on a trip with his parents.

Moreover, when he travels alone, he can show the same smile as when his parents are around, which shows that Zuo Yu should have come out of the shadow brought by the departure of his loved ones.

Your guess may be wrong.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the photo and sighed, feeling as if she had worked in vain again. She still had not solved the mystery of Zuo Yu.

However, she felt that she was one step closer to Zuo Yu, especially when she knew that Zuo Yu also liked her.

However, the distance between the two is still a bit far.

Yukinoshita Yukino turned off her phone and chose to look at the scene outside the train.

The scene outside the train had not changed much from when she arrived, just as she still couldn't understand Zuo Yu's thoughts this time.

But I still gained something, such as seeing my favorite giant panda and confirming that Zuo Yu liked me.

......

After returning home.

Yukinoshita Yukino first stroked Morgana, who had not been touched for a day, and then began to walk around in Zuo Yu's villa.

Although she had lived in Zuo Yu's villa for several days, the only rooms she usually used during school were Zuo Yu's room, bathroom and living room.

Even during the holidays, she only added a kitchen to Zuo Yu's house, and she never used the other rooms.

Now she was going to search in Zuo Yu's villa, looking for anything useful.

Then she found a bunch of things related to Zuo Yu's childhood, such as an album of photos of Zuo Yu growing up. Yukinoshita Yukino didn't find any photos that had all his parents' faces cut out. There were also small toys that Zuo Yu used to play with, textbooks from his previous classes, and so on.

Each one is well preserved.

So she started looking for something else.

While she was looking for things related to Zuo Yu's past, Yukinoshita Yukino heard Zuo Yu's voice talking to her in her mind.

"What are you looking for?"

Chapter 149 The only way to go

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino felt like a thief who broke into someone else's house and was caught by the owner. Especially since she was caught when she was still rummaging through someone else's things.

"Why did you come to my study? Are you looking for a book to read?"

"...Yes. I'd like to see if there are any books that only you have and I don't."
