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

"Actually, you've been living with a mask on. You've been pretending to be a disgusting older sister in front of me. You've been pretending to be a caring and reassuring daughter in front of your parents, and a trustworthy student in front of your teachers. And all of this is because you're the designated heir of the Yukinoshita family, and you must demonstrate abilities that match that identity."

"Social masks were created to facilitate socializing, and for you, sister, socializing is basically happening everywhere. Because no matter where you go, you will be called the daughter of the Yukinoshita family, so you have to wear a mask at all times. So, one night when you suddenly had nothing to do, you began to want to take off the mask, but... you forgot your true face underneath it."

Yukinoshita Yukino's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of pity when she said this. Her sister had been enduring so much for her all along. She couldn't help but feel that her sister was very pitiful. Yukinoshita Haruno, who seemed omnipotent to outsiders, was actually a pitiful person who had forgotten who she was originally.

"..."

The apartment suddenly fell into silence.

Yukinoshita Haruno could only remain silent. She didn't know how to tell her sister that she had endured all this voluntarily. Her original plan was to let her take over the family affairs that she had always cared about after her sister grew up enough.

But after she had taken over the family affairs for a long time, and after she realized that she was lost, she didn't want her dear sister to take over the family affairs at all... At least she wouldn't let her sister take over the family affairs until she could find something that could keep her from getting lost.

After a long silence, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke again.

"So, sister, I really appreciate your protection of me all this time. Now it's time for me to return the favor."

"No, Yukino, please don't come over here. I'm already in too deep, there's no hope, so let me handle the family affairs... You can just pursue your happiness."

Yukinoshita Haruno, who had been silent for a long time, spoke the first words she said to stop her sister from wanting to repay her. She had always done this to keep Yukino away from family affairs. How could she let Yukino take over family affairs just to repay her?

"I will pursue my own happiness, but before that...your affairs are more important."

"Didn't I tell you..."

"I won't take over the family affairs. You can rest assured about this, sister. I just want to tell you... the true nature of your self that you have forgotten."

But I myself don’t know what my true self is, so how can you know?

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with complicated eyes. Yukino's expression was very confident, as if she already knew her own true nature.

Could it be that she really knew my true self? Yukinoshita Haruno's heart began to waver.

"Actually, your true self-esteem is somewhat inconsistent with your daily behavior. After all, someone who seems to have such a bad taste and is so egoistic actually has the true self-esteem of someone who is considerate of others and willing to sacrifice for themselves. This is an answer that is hard for everyone to imagine."

"I...think about others."

Yukinoshita Haruno murmured to herself, obviously she didn't believe Yukinoshita's answer. But if she admitted it, it would probably make her sister happy.

"It's like you, sister, don't actually believe that you are a person who cares about others, but you think that if you admit it, it will make me happy."

Yukinoshita Yukino spoke out what Yukinoshita Haruno was thinking, which shocked Yukinoshita Haruno. Could her sister read minds?

So what she said about her nature being considerate of others is also...

"You're wrong. I only care about you. You only see the side of me that cares about you, so you think I'm a considerate person. In fact, to outsiders, I'm not a considerate person. For example, Hayato Hayama, if you hadn't said last week that you had forgiven her behavior, I wouldn't let him go to Miura Yumiko."

“So I should still be a bad person.”

Yukinoshita Haruno refuted her sister, and she also hoped that Yukino could refute back.

"That's because Hayato Hayama didn't see through that woman's scheme at the time, and he almost became her accomplice. That's why you, sister, have bad intentions towards him."

Yukinoshita Yukino retorted, and at the same time she also learned from her sister's words that the sudden rapid progress of Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura was due to her contribution...it was Zuo Yu who used her body.

"Then can you give me an example... an example of me being kind to others? To prove that I am actually a person who cares about others."

"Hiratsuka Shizuka. She's a perfect example."

"I usually torture Jing so much, I'm afraid she won't think I'm a person who cares about others."

"But Ms. Hiratsuka did receive your help, and you did help her get what she wanted."

"What? I don't remember. I don't think I gave her anything."

"As for the position of life teacher, Mr. Hiratsuka is probably the youngest life teacher in Sobu High School." Yukinoshita Yukino said in a very affirmative tone.

The reason why Yukinoshita Yukino began to notice that Mr. Hiratsuka was younger than other teachers with positions in the school was because of the experience she gained from Zuo Yu.

When Zuo Yu's teacher was vying for power with another teacher, she realized that promotions in schools are based on seniority. Hiratsuka-sensei definitely wasn't just responsible for her students and popular with them that got her the job of a life teacher at Sobu High School.

Although the life teacher is not a very important position, it has more power than a teacher who is only responsible for teaching, and this position also needs to be fought for.

Moreover, whether it was Zuo Yu or herself, Xue Nai could see that all the teachers with positions in the school were very old... at least they were married and had children.

According to Zuo Yu, their class teacher's child seems to have already gone to college.

The head teacher here also looks very old.

So how did Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had only been in the industry for a short time, become a life teacher at Sobu High School?

The only answer was that her sister helped her. Yukinoshita Yukino heard a lot about her sister from the student union. Her sister had a recommendation quota at the time, but she didn't use it.

Then my sister probably used that admission quota to exchange and let the school choose Shizuka Hiratsuka to be the life teacher.

"So, sister, you know what Ms. Hiratsuka is thinking. You choose to help her become a life teacher and help her fulfill her wish."

This is something she didn't even notice. Yukinoshita Haruno almost forgot why she asked Hiratsuka Shizuka to be her life teacher.

Am I really someone who would consider others?

Yukinoshita Haruno's heart also began to waver. She began to face her previous behavior and see if she was a person who would consider others as Yukino said.

"But... I have my own reasons for letting Shizuka Hiratsuka be my life teacher. Because she usually takes care of me, I chose to let her become a life teacher to repay her. I treat her as a friend. So, I am not someone who will consider everyone. I am only someone who will consider those close to me."

Yukinoshita Haruno continued to ask questions, she wanted her sister to completely convince her and fill the void in her heart.

"That's natural. It's normal to repay a favor, and isn't it normal for me to be kind to those who treat me well? If someone hurts me, should I still smile and think about them? So, sister, your true nature is to think about those who treat you well."

"But I'll also think about you."

"That's because we are blood relatives. Sister, you may appear to be wearing a thousand masks to outsiders, but underneath the masks you are a person who cares about your family."

Yukinoshita Yukino spoke the answer she had prepared in advance, which was why she thought her sister's affairs were more important. She vaguely realized that Zuo Yu was interfering in her affairs. When she heard from her sister that she had chosen to forgive Hayato Hayama, she was convinced that what had happened in the past few days was indeed planned by Zuo Yu.

First, Hayato Hayama tells Miura Yumiko that he has been imitating his sister's behavior, which touches Kurohime Yuto. Then, he leaves Kurohime Yuto's matter to himself again, and obtains the important information of the headband. Zuo Yu obtains the important information of the headband during the second exchange, and through the headband, he hints that he should pay attention to his sister.

Then I got an answer from my sister, a relative.

Yukinoshita Yukino also understood why she subconsciously wanted to pull Zuo Yu from that side to her side, because from her perspective, she did not see Zuo Yu's irreplaceable family. And she also knew that Zuo Yu's parents had already...

As for herself... although the relationship between her and her parents was not harmonious, Yukinoshita Yukino understood... that her parents cared about her.

But Zuo Yu doesn't have it...

This answer is the sufficient reason for me to bring Zuo Yu here, but...the two of them have to become like family members...

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino started to feel shy.

"No wonder I chose Ajing to be the life teacher at that time." Yukinoshita Haruno said with some emotion.

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly felt relieved. She had been tormented by self-doubt for so long. Now she had received the answer she had been looking for from her sister. This made her feel very satisfied. This was a sign that her sister had always cared about her.

Nothing can make a sister-con more excited than this.

"I'm very satisfied with this answer, Yukino-chan. You really taught me a lesson. But, how did you get this answer?"

Although she found the answer herself, it was her life experiences with Zuo Yu and his constant hints that led her to this answer. Yukinoshita Yukino chose not to take the credit. "That boy told me."

"Then you were able to guess my true nature without even seeing me. Your boyfriend is really smart."

No, he has seen you several times.

"Of course."

"Hmm, speaking of which, since a while ago... you haven't objected to the term 'little boyfriend'. Could it be that you and he are already dating?"

"Ah."

Yukinoshita Yukino admitted that she had been dating the boy she mentioned. This made Yukinoshita Haruno's heart, which had been relieved, hang in the balance again.

"When can you let me meet him? I'm really curious about him. After all, he's the one who can tell me my true nature just by talking to me. If all else fails, you can just tell me his name. You two are dating, and I won't hurt him. After all, we're family."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the very curious Yukinoshita Haruno, but still chose not to tell her sister Zuo Yu's name.

Chapter 158 Study Meeting

Although Yukinoshita Yukino did not mention Zuo Yu's name, Yukinoshita Haruno was still in a good mood.

"You will meet him sooner or later, and I will tell you his name then."

Yukinoshita Yukino said in a somewhat mysterious way that she now had enough confidence to bring Zuo Yu here.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that boy. Yukino-chan, you helped me find my true self today... How can I repay you?"

"No need, sister, you have helped me enough. How can I ask you for compensation? Besides, you don't want to repay me, but you want to take a bath with me."

"Xue-no-chan is a bit annoying because she's too smart. So... now that you know what I'm thinking, will you still reject me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her sister Yukinoshita Haruno and she suddenly became pitiful, as if she was not affected by what happened just now. This made Yukinoshita Yukino feel relieved, it seemed that her sister was still the same.

"But if you really want to repay me, sister, you should make dinner first. I'm hungry."

Yukinoshita Yukino was already very hungry after her competition with Miura Yumiko at school, and she had to point out her sister's true nature just after returning home. Yukinoshita's physical and mental strength were fully utilized, and the huge consumption made her stomach feel anxious.

"It's been a long time since you've acted like a spoiled child. I'll go make dinner, sister."

Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno walking towards the kitchen with a relaxed look on her face, Yukinoshita Yukino definitely felt the warmth between family members.

Can she bring these things to Zuo Yu... Yukinoshita Yukino asked herself. She was a little unconfident. She didn't think she could get along with Zuo Yu like this.

However, everything needs to be adjusted. Just like me and my sister, it took a long time to get to such a warm scene today.

"Xueno, will you sleep with me today? I want to feel more connected to our family."

Just after dinner, Yukinoshita Haruno began to want to get close to Yukinoshita Yukino under the name of family.

Sure enough, there is something strange in the nature of my sister.

"No."

Yukinoshita Yukino firmly refused. She was a little afraid that if she slept with her sister again, the same thing would happen as last time.

"That's such a shame. You should just talk to your boyfriend on the phone today. I'll be left alone in this empty room."

When Yukinoshita Haruno said this, she pretended to be about to cry, but her current acting skills had no effect on Yukinoshita Yukino.

........

Yukinoshita Yukino was lying alone in her room, looking at the doll that Zuo Yu and her sister had bought together when she and Zuo Yu exchanged bodies for the first time.

It seemed that Zuo Yu was just asking his sister if she had any dolls she wanted, guessing that his sister was a person who didn't like anything and was essentially a bit empty.

No... Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the panda doll beside her and denied her own idea.

The thing that her sister likes is herself. Yukinoshita Yukino holds the panda doll that Zuo Yu designed for Yukinoshita Haruno to buy, and begins to think about the next time the two of them will exchange.

Now that she knew the keyword "family", Yukinoshita Yukino began to have an idea when she looked back at the previous four times the two of them exchanged bodies.

The first exchange was when Zuo Yu had just started school and I was about to attend social activities at home.

Although everyone probably has bad memories when they mention the start of school, I don't have any good memories of the start of school either. After all, I was in a car accident right after the start of high school, and it also affected my parents who were in the car with me to attend the opening ceremony.

Yes, the keyword "family" appeared at this time.

The second exchange was when school started on my side, and when the first-year high school students on Zuo Yu's side started school.

When school starts, I remind myself that the keyword is family. After all, parents only come when the first year of high school starts.

No wonder Zuo Yu knew the rules of body swapping a long time ago.

The so-called law of time is actually a hint at the answer that can take Zuo Yu away.

The third time was a very simple matter. Zuo Yu was on vacation, and it was the school festival here.

It’s called a holiday, but it’s actually the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunions. My side is very simple, and parents will also come to visit the school festival.

This is the fourth time. Zuo Yu is on a long vacation, while I am having a sports festival.

Zuo Yu should have the habit of traveling with his parents during the holidays, and the situation on his side is the same as at the academy festival. No matter what type of family members they are, they will come to watch their relatives perform at the sports festival.

It really reminds me of the keyword family, but it's more than just family. It's the family that can accompany a person the longest.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, a little annoyed that she didn't even receive such a simple hint.

Otherwise, maybe she could be waiting for Zuo Yu's arrival now.

So what's the next exchange time?
