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

"Well, that's right, but what are you doing with my elementary school diary? Although this book is indeed unique to me."

Yukinoshita Yukino was holding Zuo Yu's elementary school diary at the moment, and she was indeed reading Zuo Yu's elementary school diary just now.

"You're curious about my past, right? Well, after all, you've met Chu Xiaozhu, so it's normal to be curious about my past. So, do you think Chu Xiaozhu is a weird person?"

"Yes, I have never met such a self-righteous girl. I feel like I can't communicate with her normally."

"Of course. After all, her parents dote on her. After all, they had a daughter at an old age, so her family still dotes on her."

"I have indeed witnessed this." Yukinoshita Yukino closed Zuo Yu's diary and put it back where it belonged.

"Did she say anything shocking?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's little movements did not escape Zuo Yu's eyes. After all, they were using the same body. Yukinoshita Yukino's attention was always on the diary, so Zuo Yu could naturally see everything that happened.

"...Yes, she said that if you really like Li Shu, she doesn't mind you keeping Li Shu as your former lover."

Yukinoshita Yukino felt Zuo Yu in her mind take a breath of cold air. Obviously, he was also shocked by Chu Xiaozhu's shocking words.

"How did she become so outrageous? When we were little, she only said she would marry me, but now she doesn't mind me looking for other women. Could it be that Uncle Chu taught her this? So, you're looking through my elementary school diary because you're curious about what happened between Chu Xiaozhu and me?"

She was still discovered. Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and admitted that she was indeed looking for things related to Zuo Yu's childhood again.

"Sure enough, I was wondering why you ended up in my study. After all, it contains a lot of things related to my childhood, but only from the third grade onwards. My family and Chu Xiaozhu's are old friends, and everyone in our two families is very familiar with each other. Since she and I were born in the same year, my family also wanted me to be close to her, so I played with her when I was a child before the third grade."

"As for why she likes me... that's a simple question. I can be considered her parents' savior. Since I can't repay a life-saving favor, it's only natural that she would be in love with me."

He deliberately didn't explain how he saved her parents. Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that Zuo Yu didn't tell him directly how he saved Chu Xiaozhu's parents.

"So, she thought you chose to save her parents because of her. And what she thought was that you must have saved her parents because you didn't want her to be sad about losing her parents."

"She probably thinks so."

"But the reality is that you didn't save her parents for her sake at all?"

"Correct. I saved her parents because I really liked the uncle and aunt next door. Think about it: every time you're being bullied at home, you run to the house next door, and the uncle and aunt next door will warmly entertain you. You'll also like them. And you'll subconsciously feel that they treat you better than your own parents."

"So, you did something to save her parents."

"In fact, their reason for coming to this small city is the same as mine: to seek medical treatment. There is an old Chinese doctor here who is over a hundred years old. My mother's illness and her parents' illness were cured by him."

An old Chinese doctor who is over a hundred years old, this can’t be false advertising.

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered that in Zuo Yu's dream, there seemed to be some mention of problems with Zuo Yu's mother's health. It turned out that Chu Xiaozhu also came to this small city with Zuo Yu at this time.

It's just that Chu Xiaozhu's parents' illness was probably cured when they were in elementary school, so they returned to the big city, while Zuo Yu's mother's illness was almost cured when she had an accident...

"But it seems like you didn't do anything in this."

"I subconsciously feel that the doctor is reliable, which is a very important role."

"That's probably because you didn't know how to judge people at that time. You thought he was reliable just by looking at his appearance."

Zuo Yu did not answer Yukinoshita Yukino's question. After all, Yukinoshita Yukino had not yet realized that Zuo Yu's intuition was his special ability.

"So, she can tolerate you finding a lover outside. I really don't know what she is thinking. If I...if my man finds another woman outside again, I will definitely drag him to commit suicide with me."

Yukinoshita Yukino said some scary words as if it was a threat.

"Yeah, I'll remember this."

"Why do you remember it? You're not... By the way, you said you liked me a few days ago. Were you serious?"

"Yeah, you don't think I'm kidding you, do you? If that's the case, I'll be so sad."

Indeed, at that time I did think you were kidding me. After all, it was hard to believe that you liked me all of a sudden.

But it seems that the meal I made for Zuo Yu during the Mid-Autumn Festival was so useful that it made Li Shu, who had always reminded me not to have unnecessary feelings, fall in love with me.

I didn't add anything else when I was cooking.

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled everything she did when she cooked for herself. She also followed the online tutorial and didn't add anything strange.

Then how did Zuo Yu suddenly change so much?

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about it and felt that her behavior at that time must have touched Zuo Yu.

But she doesn't know the answer yet.

"So, why did you come back so early today? Don't you have anything else to do over there?"

Yukinoshita Yukino abruptly changed the subject. Zuo Yu had come before seven today. This was probably the fastest he'd come back, except for the first time they'd swapped bodies. Was this a hint that this body swap was about to end?

"You don't have anything busy over there. I just finished dealing with the aftermath of the school festival. Even if we have to prepare for the sports festival, we need to rest for a while. After all, I will leave us a little time on Saturday afternoon to relax, so I will let them go home and rest for the day. And when I got back to your house, I naturally missed you a little, so I came here early. By the way, you had a good day today, didn't you? After all, you met Chu Xiaozhu, and she didn't affect your mood today, did she?"

"It's okay. I had a pretty good day today. I even took a photo with the giant panda. I'm just a little disappointed... I ran into someone who spoiled the fun."

"That's fine. Have you thought clearly about the relationship between us? Do you want to continue or end it?"

"Didn't you say this was the last exchange? How can it continue?"

Zuo Yu's tone made Yukinoshita Yukino puzzled: "Didn't I say that if nothing unexpected happened, this would be the last time we would swap bodies, but now something unexpected has happened. I've fallen in love with you, and maybe when I miss you enough, we'll swap bodies again. If you don't want to do it next time, I can prevent it from happening."

"Then what's your answer?"

This time he changed the way he said it. He no longer said that I thought about him to the extreme, but rather that he thought about me to the extreme.

Now he has frankly admitted that he likes me, and...it also explains the fact that this body swap is not the last one.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and answered Zuo Yu's question.

"I kind of like you too...it's just that the relationship between us is a little complicated, so...there will definitely be a body swap next time, but what will be the final outcome?"

"Then take your time to think about it. After all, I was the one who started this body swap, and it's up to you to decide when to end this relationship."

"So what is our relationship now?"

"It depends on you. What you want is a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It depends on how you address it."

"Then let's call each other by name first."

Yukinoshita Yukino was not in a hurry to confirm the relationship between the two. After all, the relationship between the two was a little special, and Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know how to deal with this problem. So she decided to give herself time to think and let her decide the final direction of the two.

"But this isn't a long-term solution. Let's set a limit on how many times we can swap bodies." Zuo Yu suddenly suggested leaving a certain number of body swaps for the two of them. "How about four? I solved your problem with four body swaps, and you have four chances to resolve our relationship. That's fair, isn't it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was initially puzzled by Zuo Yu's sudden decision about the number of exchanges, but then she understood what he meant. To avoid wasting their time, she nodded in agreement with Zuo Yu's proposal, as it would be bad if both of them became addicted to this kind of relationship.

"Go to bed early. You must be tired after taking the bus twice today, and you also walked quite a distance."

"I'm going to take a shower first. I'm still covered in dust."

.......

After Morgana sent the consciousness of Yukinoshita Yukino, who was still in a dormant state, back to her original world, he began to communicate with Zuo Yu.

Morgana couldn't quite understand why the two of them didn't get together right away even though they had both expressed their feelings for each other.

Looking at Morgana's clear eyes, Zuo Yu decided to explain to Morgana why they didn't finalize their relationship immediately.

"The main reason is that the relationship between us is too special. If we really became each other's boyfriend and girlfriend, but we didn't exist in each other's world, then our relationship would only remain at the level of spiritual communication. To each other, it would be more like a bond left for a non-existent person."

"But I can let you go to the world over there. The things you worry about are actually the least of your worries." Morgana tilted his cat head and looked at Zuo Yu with eyes that looked like sapphires. "If I just let you two meet, can't I solve this problem?"

Zuo Yu shook his head. "Obviously, letting me go to Yukinoshita Yukino's world would solve the above problems, but this would also create new problems... How would Yukinoshita Yukino view me?"

Zuo Yu explained the reason why Yukinoshita Yukino was hesitant. "In her eyes, I went to her world just to find her. It can be said that I really gave up everything I had in this world for her. A family environment where I didn't have to work hard, close friends, friends I'd studied with for a long time, childhood playmates, and uncles and aunts who were very kind to me. Once I go to Yukinoshita Yukino's world, I'll have to abandon everything here. And I'm only going to that world for a girl I like, which is too much of a burden for Yukinoshita."

"If two people get married and take responsibility for each other's future lives, then Yukinoshita Yukino has to bear the burden of my past life first. You can see how Chu Xiaozhu treats me, which is obviously not what people on equal terms should do. If I am truly prepared now and travel to her world next month, how will Yukinoshita Yukino treat me? She will feel that she owes me more than Chu Xiaozhu does. So I need to make Yukinoshita Yukino think that she is unique to me, a girl I can give up everything in this world to find."

"Then can't you just tell her directly that she is very important to you and is a one-of-a-kind existence?"

Morgana still didn't quite understand. It would be better to just say no. Saying no directly would also ease Yukinoshita Yukino's feeling of guilt.

"But direct explanations aren't enough. People prefer to believe answers they've worked hard to get, so Yukinoshita Yukino also needs to work hard to get answers from me. That way, she'll feel it's reasonable for me to go to her, because after all, she's made her own efforts to successfully meet me, rather than just saying we like each other and then getting together. A relationship fostered that way might not seem real to her, because she likes to prove herself worthy by going through a long and arduous process."

Humans are so hard to understand.

Looking at Zuo Yu who was full of confidence, Morgana didn't say anything.

......

The next day, Zuo Yu woke up in his own bed. Apparently, after sending Yukinoshita Yukino's consciousness back, he ended the body swap between the two.

While eating breakfast, he habitually picked up his phone and looked at the photo of him and the giant panda from yesterday. The "him" in the photo was still smiling happily.

Then he saw that there were some new things in the notepad. It was the first message that Yukinoshita Yukino left in the notepad in his phone.

【I like you, too. 】

Zuo Yu checked the time. He thought Yukinoshita Yukino had probably written it down while she was still on the high-speed train. She was quite impatient when she replied.

It seems that after Yukinoshita Yukino understood her feelings, she didn't want to end this body swap.

Chapter 150 New Nickname

At noon in the service club, Yukinoshita Yukino had lunch with Yuigahama Yui and the others again after a long absence. Although she had experienced this once before, the person who used her body yesterday was Zuo Yu, not herself.

However, there are only four people in the service club now, missing a blonde girl.

"Yui, come to think of it, where was Miura Yumiko today? Why didn't I see her?"

Yukinoshita looked at the other members of the Service Club and found Miura Yumiko the only one missing. This struck her as odd. Normally, Miura Yumiko was the one who cared most about the Service Club, aside from herself. Whether it was the tennis commission a while ago or this school festival, Miura Yumiko had put in a lot of effort.

Hearing Yukinoshita mention Miura Yumiko, Yuigahama Yui revealed a somewhat envious smile, and said somewhat enviously: "Yumiko went to have lunch with Hayama, and she will not come to participate in the service club activities until this afternoon."

"Oh!" This is a big news for Yukinoshita Yukino. Did Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato get together?

Shouldn't their sister be between them? Why are things progressing so quickly?

"Sure enough, Xiaoxue was also shocked. I was also shocked when I learned about this yesterday." Yuigahama Yui patted her chest seriously, indicating that she could not accept this fact.

After all, according to their progress, she should have been the first to succeed, but instead, Miura Yumiko, who was obviously at a huge disadvantage, was the first to succeed.

"When did this happen? Why do I feel like you all know everything?"

Yukinoshita Yukino found that she seemed to be the only one in the service club who didn't know about this. The others seemed to be quite calm, as if they already knew that Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato had succeeded.

Kurohime Yuto was tying her own hair and looking at Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "After all, we all witnessed Miura Yumiko's confession yesterday."

Yukinoshita Yukino felt a wave of doubt in her heart. This was not right. Such a big thing had happened to her, but why didn't Zuo Yu tell her? Yuigahama Yui's words answered Yukinoshita Yukino's doubts to a certain extent.

"After all, you left the Service Club early yesterday, Xiaoxue, saying you had something important to do back home. I didn't see the scene when Miura Yumiko confessed her love to you... Really, it almost made me cry."

"So, what happened?"

Yukinoshita Yukino has a certain understanding of the emotional entanglement between Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato. According to her understanding, there are two difficulties between Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato.

The first is her sister. Yukinoshita Yukino doesn't think her sister will let Hayato Hayama break free from her control so easily. The second is Hayato Hayama's own inner problems. Hayato Hayama has always imitated his sister's style of behavior. He will never have the courage to accept Miura Yumiko's confession.

After all, Hayato Hayama is not good at solving problems. His method of solving problems has always been to imitate his sister Yukinoshita Haruno to the extent that both parties are satisfied. After imitating others' behavior for a long time, Hayato Hayama must be very inferior and empty in his heart, feeling that he is not as sunny and cheerful as Miura Yumiko imagined.

So Hayato Hayama will definitely reject Yumiko Miura's confession.

But now, Yumiko Miura and Hayato Hayama have successfully gotten together, which is somewhat unexpected for Yukinoshita Yukino.

Shouldn't...

"To be honest, I never thought that Hayato Hayama was such a fragile person. He even cried in Miura Yumiko's arms yesterday. I never thought that such a sunny person would have his own troubles in his heart." Yuigahama Yui was still talking to herself, unable to grasp the point of the matter.

"Yui, I just want you to help me repeat what happened in the service club yesterday."

"Sorry, I'm a little clueless and don't know where to start..."

"Let's start with what happened in the Ministry after I left."

"When everyone gathered at the Service Club, you, Koyuki, suddenly said you had something to do and left. After we told Hikigaya Hachiman that today's training was canceled, we were all about to leave immediately. But just as we were about to leave, Hayama suddenly knocked on the door and said he had something important to tell Miura Yumiko."

"At that time, Yumiko Miura's face was very red. I had never seen Yumiko Miura show such a shy side. Then Yumiko Miura said to Hayato Hayama, 'If you have anything to say, go to a place where there are no people, don't say it in front of everyone.'"

"But Hayato Hayama was very determined and said that it would be best if everyone left the scene. He then said, 'So Yukinoshita already knew. She really still hates me.' Then he apologized to Miura Yumiko. I can't remember the specific words, but in short, Hayato Hayama said that he had always known that Miura Yumiko liked him, but his idea all along was to use Miura Yumiko as a shield to reject the advances of other girls. After all, Miura Yumiko was so outstanding and a bit strong, which was very suitable for scaring off those girls who wanted to pursue him."

"Come to think of it, it turns out that Hayato Hayama has only been using Yumiko as a shield. No wonder I felt that Hayato Hayama's attitude towards Yumiko has always been a little strange. He always says that he has a date with Miura Yumiko when other girls invite him out."

"Sorry, I got off topic. Anyway, Hayato Hayama wanted to apologize for this incident. But Yumiko Miura said, 'She knew it a long time ago. She did this for Hayato Hayama voluntarily. She doesn't care about these things.' Then Yumiko Miura took the opportunity to confess her love. In true Yumiko style, she just took the opportunity to confess her love."

"But Hayato Hayama said that he, being such a despicable person, was not qualified to accept Miura Yumiko's confession. He was no longer qualified to be liked by others."

"Then, the climax came. Yumiko directly asked, 'Do you like me?' Hayama Hayato answered yes, and then Yumiko directly stated her attitude, 'Since you like each other, why don't you be together? If you like each other, why bother talking about qualifications and the future?' We felt like crying at the time. We originally thought that the story ended here, but Hayama Hayato's words shocked us. He said..."

"'The Hayato Hayama that Yumiko Miura likes doesn't exist. He was just imitating someone he liked, so Yumiko Miura liked that person, not him.' Xiaoxue, are you scared?"
