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

The health teacher diagnosed that it was not a serious matter, just a lack of daily rest.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka both breathe a sigh of relief. Although they knew that there would not be any serious problems, the moment they heard the news, they still put their minds at ease.

"The get out of class is over, so I'll go home first."

The health teacher already had things to do, and now she has to go back to do them.

Shizuka Hiratsuka said she had something to do, and before leaving, she added to Yukinoshita Yukino, "This isn't a blind date. We teachers are here to help you with the sports festival."

It seems that the health teacher is also busy with the sports festival. Yukinoshita Yukino thought so as she watched the two people leave in a hurry.

Then she looked at the sleeping Kurohime Yuto and saw the red hair tie on her head, so she decided to help her untie it. It's not good to do hair while she's sleeping.

About ten minutes later, Kurohime Yuito regained consciousness.

When she stood up and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who was sitting next to her and holding her red hair tie in her hand, the words of gratitude that should have been in her mind disappeared, and were replaced by - malice.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the rising Kurohime Yuto and showed her an expression she had never shown before. Kurohime Yuto was looking at her with angry eyes.

Her wine-red pupils suddenly became extremely aggressive, and there was no light on her face against the light. She suddenly became depressed.

Yukinoshita Yukino was surprised by the sudden change in Kurohime Yuto. How could she suddenly become so aggressive from a gentle person?

But she soon understood why, and she roughly guessed what state Kurohime Yuito was in.

This must be the other side of her that she has been hiding all along. While Yukinoshita Yukino was listening to Hayato Hayama's story, she was also observing the reaction of Yuto Kurohime who was also listening to the story with her.

She deduced that Kurohime Yuto and Hayama Hayato should have similar symptoms, but what she didn't expect was that... Kurohime Yuto's way of changing herself was to take off her red headband.

This gives people the feeling that Kurohime Yuto seems to have a dual personality. However, Yukinoshita Yukino knows very well that Kurohime Yuto is definitely not a person with a dual personality.

"Sorry, I took your headband off. I just noticed that the headband you were wearing looked a bit like something my sister would wear."

Yukinoshita Yukino handed the red headband back and explained why she had been holding it and looking at it. "I just saw you had your hair tied up during your break and thought you must be uncomfortable, so I helped you take it off."

Yukinoshita Yukino's somewhat pale explanation did not play any role in the face of the darkened Kurohime Yuto. She just took the hairband and then asked coldly, "You know everything?"

Chapter 154 The other side

"What are you referring to? Are you referring to the fact that I know your grades and sports are bad?"

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be at ease when facing the questioning of Kurohime Yuto. She was mentally prepared for the questions asked by Kurohime Yuto...and she also knew exactly what Kurohime Yuto was asking.

"Are you making fun of me for being so proud?"

Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino was still poking at her sore spots, Kurohime Yuide said viciously.

"I'm not making fun of you... I'm just stating the facts. Besides, you have a reason for doing this."

"As expected, you finally knew... As expected, you discovered my other side the first time we met."

Was it referring to Zuo Yu's first encounter with her on the boat? Did he already know her true nature at that time? That's quite impressive. However, I also discovered her true nature while getting along with her. I guess I'm not bad after all.

"Are you referring to the fact that you are not a qualified young lady?"

"As expected... you really know. My respectable young lady side is just an act. In fact, the real me is not a qualified young lady at all. Or rather, I shouldn't be the eldest lady of the Heiji family at all."

Kurohime Yuito confessed that she had been pretending to be reasonable all along. She had been playing the role that a child of the Kurohime family should have. In essence, she was not a qualified young lady.

"Then do you think the side you are showing now is your true self?"

"Yes, actually I have always hated dealing with you, especially you, Yukinoshita Yukino. I'm jealous of you because you can always handle some very troublesome things, not to mention that you have such good grades and are not bad at sports either."

"Is this what you really mean?"

"Actually, I've always wanted to stay away from you... If you hadn't dragged me into the service club, I would have stayed away from you long ago."

"I see... No wonder you didn't come to me before I did. After all, you should have come to inquire about the progress of the Service Club."

Before knowing the true nature of Kurohime Yukino, Yukinoshita Yukino always had a question, which was that she had forgotten that Kurohime Yukino was also a member of the Service Club... Even if she was blinded by Yuigahama Yui's affairs, Kurohime Yukino, who was also a member of the Service Club, had never taken the initiative to find her.

As long as Kurohime Yuto appears in front of her once, she might remember that Kurohime Yuto is also a member of the service club.

Now it seems......

"Yes, I never came to you because I hated you. Now that you know my true nature...you don't have to take care of me anymore. I'm also going to quit the service club."

"I'm afraid I can't approve your application to resign."

Kurohime Yuto looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a serious expression, and she gripped the red hairband even tighter.

"Even if you say so, I will not participate in the activities of the Service Club in the future."

"...You look like you're running away, Jie Deng. You're like a child who's been caught hiding something. Hastily dropping what you've hidden and running away. I'm afraid you don't really want to quit the Service Club, but you're afraid I'll kick you out if I find out you've been hiding something from us. So you're taking the initiative and asking to quit."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kurohime Yuto sitting on the hospital bed. She held tightly in her hands the red headband that allowed her to show her kind side as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

"..."

"Besides, it's not true that you said you hated me. That was just a lie. Maybe you hated me when we first met. But as we got along later, you realized you didn't hate me that much. In fact, when you first saw me, you didn't feel disgusted, but fear. Fear that I would reveal your true nature."

"..."

"So, what you said about distancing yourself from me because you hate me is also wrong. You distance yourself from me because you're afraid of me... Your so-called dislike for me is just a product of self-protection. Am I right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino said confidently that these were all the reasons she had analyzed as to why Kurohime Yuto had never taken the initiative to contact her. Kurohime Yuto didn't hate her, but was afraid of her, so she chose to distance herself from her.

However, as the two of them continued to interact, Kurohime Yuto discovered that Yukinoshita Yukino was not the kind of person who would use that person's dark history to threaten others.

So she gradually fell in love with the daily life with the members of the service club.

Kurohime Yuito remained silent, or rather, she didn't know how to respond to Yukinoshita Yukino's answer.

In fact, she herself was a little confused about what she was thinking deep down in her heart.

"Besides, your so-called dislike for me is nonsense. If you hated me, would you have spent the entire night thinking about what I said to you last night without getting any rest?"

"........I wasn't thinking about what you said last night."

"Then why couldn't you sleep last night?"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kurohime Yuto, whose expression gradually collapsed. After seeing her almost squeeze the red headband that symbolized her other side into a small red lump, she looked at Kurohime Yuto, who was half upright on the hospital bed, and said earnestly: "In fact, the way you look now is not the real you. The way you wore the red headband before was not completely a disguise. You can't completely deny the side of yourself just because the side you wore with the red headband is a disguise, and you can't completely deny this side of yourself just to deny that side.

"The headband is just a psychological cue, telling you to display the abilities that a daughter of the Kurohime family should display, like being kind to others and having excellent grades. But when you take it off, you're venting your stress and feeling regret for your own inadequacies. In reality, headband or no headband, you're you. The real you should be both, not just one side."

Seeing that Kurohime Yukino's grip on the red headband had loosened a lot, Yukinoshita Yukino decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"I won't laugh at your behavior today because I know why you're so proud today."

The reason why Kurohime Yutō made herself so embarrassed was because... herself.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kurohime Yuto. Kurohime Yuto's bed was next to the window. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, casting part of her shadow on Yukinoshita Yukino.

In fact, the two are so similar. Yukinoshita Yukino sighed slightly in her heart. She finally understood why Zuo Yu listed Kurohime Yuto as the first member of his service club.

He also knew why Zuo Yu had never told him much about the information about Heiji Jiedeng.

This is how she used to be. The confused look of Kurohime Yuito now is just like how she has let herself get confused in order to imitate her sister.

This was a situation he should face, and he didn't need Zuo Yu's help. He was also very clear about it, and chose to gradually change himself and finally face his past.

"Your jealousy of me stems more from your own lack of ability. We are both children of large families, you of the Kurohime family, and I of the Yukinoshita family. Our identities are no secret in the well-informed International Department, so our daily actions, in your eyes, are a reflection of the teachings of our families. I am able to achieve excellent results while also being able to lead everyone. You, on the other hand, cannot do that..."

It's just like hating your own sister. It's because you can't do it, so you express your disgust for yourself as disgust for others.

"So, you chose to imitate me. Today, you first claimed your scores were comparable to mine, and then forced yourself to run long distances, all to prove you weren't any worse than me. Or rather... you were pushed to this point by everyone else, and everyone is judging you by the same standards they use for me. Therefore, your jealousy is essentially envy. Envy of what I can do, and what you can't. In this regard, I've fallen into this same misunderstanding, so I don't hate you for what you did today."

"really?"

Kurohime Yuto couldn't believe that Yukinoshita Yukino, who had seen through her true nature, did not choose to despise her, but chose to accept her and continue to treat her as a friend.

"of course it's true."

Yukinoshita saw that Kurohime Yuto had finally loosened her grip. Her original red hairband had been crumpled into a ball, and she was afraid that it could no longer be used. Kurohime Yuto's expression also improved a lot, at least it was no longer aggressive.

"Then do you know...what kind of person I am?"

"If you don't even know the answer to this question, how could I possibly know? But don't over-analyze what kind of person you should be. Excessive pursuit of your own essence in the spiritual world will only lead you into a vortex of nihilism."

Yukinoshita Yukino used the lessons she learned from the game she played at Zuo Yu's place to persuade Kurohime Yuedeng.

"All I know is that Kurohime Yuito is a somewhat foolish girl, someone who can't even disguise her true nature. Your true nature should also be good, not as bad as you think. Like I said, your true nature is probably a bit of both sides of you."

Kurohime Yuto, who thought she would be abandoned after her lie was exposed, laughed when she saw Yukinoshita Yukino not caring about her lie and even teasing her about her poor disguise.

Under the setting sun, after being enlightened by Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuto faced her inner self and smiled happily for the first time in a long time.

"But am I that stupid?"

Even without the red headband tying her hair, Kurohime Yuto can still speak in a friendly manner.

"Have."

Yukinoshita Yukino said in a precise tone.

"Yukino, you're referring to my poor performance in hiding this other side of me."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about."

Actually, you're quite good at hiding it, Yukinoshita Yukino answered in her heart. If it weren't for Hayato Hayama's sudden confession to Miura Yumiko, she would have thought that this story was just a strange performance by Kurohime Yuto. She wouldn't have thought that Kurohime Yuto was also pretending to be popular, just like Hayato Hayama.

It’s just that Hayato Hayama wanted to imitate his sister, while Kurohime Yuito... was just...

"What does that mean?"

"What's the reason why you never refused invitations from everyone in the class?"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked Kurohime Yuto why she did not refuse the invitations from everyone in the class when she just arrived at the class.

"...I think popular people won't refuse invitations from others."

"So, you're busy responding to invitations from everyone in our class every day just to pretend to be popular. If I hadn't told everyone in class that you were a member of the Service Club, you probably would have accepted their invitations."

Kurohime Yuito touched her hair awkwardly, obviously she agreed.

If Yukinoshita Yukino had not announced to the public that Kurohime Yuto was also a member of the Service Club, Kurohime Yuto would have thought that she would most likely be in a KTV or game hall with her classmates at this moment.

"That's what you think popular people do. Passively accepting invitations doesn't mean you're popular. Only when you proactively invite others out can you prove you're popular."

"hey-hey......."

"Besides, you're almost going into a mental breakdown by pretending to be a social butterfly. Isn't that the same as how you ended up in the infirmary today just to prove that you're not much different from me? You're both a bit foolish."

"Sorry, I won't push myself next time."

"Besides, socialites will reject others. Look at Miura Yumiko. Didn't she turn down a lot of social activities in order to participate in our service club's activities?"

The two of them were walking from the health room towards the service club, and Yukinoshita Yukino and Kurohime Yuto were communicating with each other.

"I wish I could be as good as you, Yukino. Unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary girl born into a wealthy family. I don't have any dazzling talents, and I'm not good at communicating with others. On the contrary, I like to be alone and don't like social occasions at home. I can't even fully abide by the family rules. In fact, I really disappoint my family. Unlike you, Yukino..."

"Actually, I used to be very similar to you. I wasn't as powerful as you think."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned red when she was praised by Kurohime Yuedeng. After all, she was not entirely the way Kurohime Yuedeng imagined her to be. Zuo Yu also contributed a lot to Kurohime Yuedeng's impression of "Yukinoshita Yukino".

"Really?... I can't quite believe it. When I first met you, didn't you see through my true nature?... Weren't you very powerful back then?"

"I had already changed by then, so the fundamental reason I could see through your true nature the first time I saw you was because I used to be very similar to you. Actually, the reason I live alone now is because I'm still in my rebellious phase."

"really?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I move to an apartment only three train stops away from my home in Chiba?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's precise tone dispelled the doubts deep in Kurohime Yuto's heart.

"So how did you change? I want to be like you."

"Well, it's probably love. I ran away from home secretly, fell in love with a boy, and he gradually changed me into what I am now."

Hearing the happiness that could not be hidden in Yukinoshita Yukino's words, Kurohime Yuto could only believe it.

Before pushing open the door of the service club's classroom, Kurohime Yuito was a little worried that everyone would dislike her after she confessed.

"Don't worry, Yumiko has already accepted Hayato, so she should be able to accept you as well."

Yukinoshita Yukino clenched her fists and raised them to cheer up Kurohime Yuto who was standing in front of her, dispelling the doubts deep in her heart.

Looking at Kurohime Yuto who had mustered up the courage to push open the door of the service club classroom, Yukinoshita Yukino looked down at the red headband of Kurohime Yuto in her hand.

Yukinoshita Yukino is sure that she will be welcomed by everyone even with her other side, Kurohime Yuto. Even with her hair down, she will be accepted by everyone in the service club.
