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

Yukinoshita Yukino was shocked to discover this, and...her behavior of putting Zuo Yu's favorite food into Zuo Yu's mouth should not be considered as feeding, after all, she was using Zuo Yu's body at that time.

"But I don't know the meaning of those actions. I just acted subconsciously."

"It is precisely because you don't know that you are able to impress Zuo Yu more."

Fang Xuan replied with a smile.

It is precisely because you don’t know that those actions are your subconscious actions that Zuo Yu falls in love with you.

Fang Xuan felt that Yukinoshita Yukino was a little dazed. If you knew the meaning of those actions and deliberately did them, Zuo Yu would definitely not be moved.

It was really an unexpected blessing. Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly discovered that the biggest contributor to bringing her and Zuo Yu together seemed to be her sister.

If her sister had not stopped Zuo Yu from coming that night, she would probably have only been able to have a simple meal with Zuo Yu. After the two of them exchanged bodies, they would have been on parallel lines from then on.

It was because of Yukinoshita Haruno's obstruction that night that Zuo Yu was late. Zuo Yu saw her behavior after Zuo Yu was late, which made Zuo Yu moved, and then the two began to get closer to each other.

Otherwise, the relationship between the two would probably have ended at the time of their last body swap.

My sister is indeed on my side.

Morgana was deeply impressed by that night. After all, if it weren't for that night, Yukinoshita Yukino would probably be judged as a failure by her and would be abandoned.

As for whether there is a possibility that Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino have exchanged bodies after the last time, the answer is absolutely impossible.

During the third body swap, Zuo Yu discovered that Morgana was secretly hiding something with Yukinoshita Yukino, interrupting its plan to have Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino swap bodies after the fourth body swap.

Zuo Yu didn't even have any intelligence left in Yukinoshita Yukino's body. The reason why Yukinoshita Yukino was able to exchange bodies with Zuo Yu this time was that Morgana absorbed Yukinoshita Yukino's longing for Zuo Yu and used it as energy to exchange bodies with Zuo Yu.

It was very puzzled by the fact that Yukinoshita Yukino missed Zuo Yu very much but was hesitant.

But forget it... After all, she is the person Zuo Yu likes, so just be more tolerant of her.

"Do you still have any questions?"

Fang Xuan looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who stopped talking after learning the reason why Zuo Yu fell in love with her.

"Nothing."

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that all the problems concerning Zuo Yu had been almost resolved.

"Then, it's my turn to question. What do you think is the reason why you can take Zuo Yu away? Or what do you rely on to take Zuo Yu away from me?"

“…I can become Zuo Yu’s family.”

"But... you yourself don't seem to be very confident about whether you can become Zuo Yu's family member."

Fang Xuan looked at the insecure Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "You've known about Zuo Yu's strategy for a long time. The key word for Zuo Yu is family. But... when I acted like I was the master of this house just now, you didn't seem to use your status as Zuo Yu's girlfriend to pressure me. In other words... you're a little insecure about being Zuo Yu's girlfriend, let alone the next level, family."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent. This was the nth time she had fallen silent today. Fang Xuan just looked at her without saying a word. This time the room was completely plunged into silence.

The ringing of a phone broke the silence. It was Fang Xuan's phone. He picked up the phone and said, "The things have arrived, right? They're right at my door. Okay, I'll go get them."

Chapter 165 No Need to Pursue Perfection

Yukinoshita Yukino watched Fang Xuan take over two large bags from the door of Zuo Yu's house, which were filled with snacks, tea and the like.

"Give."

Fang Xuan handed one of the bags to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"This is......."

"You've forgotten why we came out... to buy things for the parent-teacher conference." Fang Xuan glanced at the receipt in his hand. "Zuo Yu and I did the same thing when we were preparing for the parent-teacher conference. We placed the order on the platform and asked for the receipt. Then we secretly ran back to his house to play games. We handed over the receipt and no one knew what we did next."

"You two have a really good relationship."

"Of course. Is that why you don't dare to stand up in front of me? I just started calling Zuo Yu's home my own, and you didn't say anything?"

Fang Xuan looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with a half-smile, as she had no expression on her face.

As expected, Zuo Yu just wanted to use himself as a stepping stone, just to give his girlfriend some confidence, but it seemed that he used too much force and destroyed her confidence.

"That's just because I'm too lazy to explain to the delivery guy. There's no need to explain to outsiders."

"But I do have ulterior motives. I just don't want Zuo Yu to go with you. After all, you're the one who's going to take Zuo Yu away from this world. Zuo Yu has already started to stop caring about things here and looks like he's about to leave. But what about you...you don't seem to be ready yet."

"..."

Fang Xuan looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who hadn't said a word after being questioned by him, and decided to change his approach. "So, why are you feeling a little insecure? What's the reason?"

"......"

Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent, she didn't know how to answer Fang Xuan's question. Before the body swap with Zuo Yu, she was afraid that she couldn't be a qualified family member for Zuo Yu. After meeting Fang Xuan...

She began to doubt herself about her identity as Zuo Yu's girlfriend.

She and Zuo Yu had experienced very little, and most of the time Zuo Yu had helped her unilaterally. The only thing she had done well was to have dinner with Zuo Yu.

And if it weren't for Yukinoshita Haruno's help, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to take down Zuo Yu...

The living room fell into silence again. Fang Xuan looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was silent, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Excessive force.

"So you're doubting the stability of your relationship with Zuo Yu? That's understandable. After all, the time you spend together with Zuo Yu is limited, not to mention that you and he are in two different worlds." Fang Xuan began to change his tone, trying to speak in a relaxed tone. "However, the relationship between you and him is different from that of ordinary people. You communicate by exchanging bodies, a way that is most suitable for understanding each other's difficulties."

"But...my understanding of him is very one-sided. I don't know him nearly as well as he knows me. I only know...he must be very lonely when he's alone at home."

Yukinoshita Yukino said with some self-abasement that during the several times she and Zuo Yu exchanged bodies, her understanding of Zuo Yu only stayed at the level that Zuo Yu must be very lonely. When she learned about Zuo Yu's true nature from Fang Xuan, she felt that her understanding of Zuo Yu was too superficial.

"You're right. If Zuo Yu wasn't lonely at home, would he be so happy to have me over to his house?"

"But Zuo Yu shouldn't be the type of person who would become lonely..."

"Stop, you probably don't think Zuo Yu is a loner because of loneliness, right? Don't let me mislead you on this point. Zuo Yu is a person who will actively seek out fun even when he's lonely. It's just that you've seen Zuo Yu at home more often than I have, and you can feel Zuo Yu's loneliness at home more than I can. So, to relieve this loneliness, Zuo Yu chose you."

Fang Xuan looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and began to rebuild her confidence.

"But I didn't realize... I had somewhat betrayed his trust. I was just a little selfish and didn't want the distance between us to be so great. I wanted him to be by my side..."

Yukinoshita Yukino said with some shame, obviously she felt that her behavior of wanting to take Zuo Yu over was selfish.

"That's not selfish, it's human nature. My girlfriend worked hard to get into the small class just because she wanted to take classes with me. How can it be considered selfish for lovers to want more time to spend together?"

"But...I don't know what Zuo Yu is thinking."

"You're overthinking it. Your idea of ​​taking Zuo Yu away has already made him very satisfied. After all, you are one of the few girls who knew to take Zuo Yu away instead of accompanying him in his sorrow. Like I said before... not knowing is more likely to impress him. If he knew, the effect might not be so good."

Fang Xuan changed his previous attitude and stopped using provocation. He began to help Yukinoshita Yukino understand her actions little by little.

"Why do you suddenly seem like a different person... Didn't you say before that you wouldn't give Zuo Yu to me? Why are you suddenly trying to persuade me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino also noticed the change in Fang Xuan's attitude and asked in confusion.

"What I said before was just a provocation. I wanted to let you know how important you are to Zuo Yu." Fang Xuan looked at Morgana lying on Yukinoshita Yukino's legs, clapped his hands at it, and wanted to call Morgana over.

But Morgana just glanced at him and ignored him.

"Later, I found that provoking you didn't seem to work, so I had to try a different approach. My only goal is to help you regain your confidence so that you can confidently take Zuo Yu away."

"why?"

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't understand what Fang Xuan was talking about and why he asked her to take Zuo Yu away confidently.

"It's very simple. Zuo Yu wants to treat you as a family member. Maybe everyone has a different understanding of family, but for Zuo Yu, the most important thing about family is that they get along as equals. Zuo Yu doesn't want you to be so humble in front of him. Just like Chu Xiaozhu, because she received Zuo Yu's help, her attitude towards Zuo Yu is very humble, and she has a fundamental misunderstanding of Zuo Yu. That's why Zuo Yu won't even look at her."

"And you must have received help from Zuo Yu, so you might also subconsciously become humble in front of Zuo Yu, just like Li Shu. She is also someone who knows that she must get Zuo Yu out of this villa, but she doesn't dare to face the gap between them and Zuo Yu directly, and subconsciously feels that she is inferior. She only dares to exist by Zuo Yu's side in the name of his apprentice. I don't want you to be like them."

Fang Xuan spoke earnestly, and Yukinoshita Yukino also realized why Fang Xuan had been putting pressure on her just now.

He had high hopes for her. If he didn't have fantasies about her, Fang Xuan probably wouldn't have chosen to confront her.

"Why, why are you helping me like this?"

"It's very simple. You were the one Zuo Yu chose, so I can only choose to trust his judgment. And from what I've just experienced with you, I also think you're quite suitable for Zuo Yu. I'm still very optimistic about you."

"Thank you."

"Now that you have confidence, can you tell me why you lacked confidence before? After all, you already know that Zuo Yu treats you as family."

"I'm afraid I can't be a qualified family member for Zuo Yu."

Fang Xuan was stunned when he heard this. How could his family have such a thing as qualification?

"From what you said, it turns out that your problem is that you lack confidence in yourself."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, agreeing with Fang Xuan's statement. She was indeed not particularly confident in herself, otherwise she would not have made the decision to wait and see after careful consideration.

Fang Xuan took a deep breath. He roughly understood Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts, but there was something he hadn't expected. Someone who was so determined to take Zuo Yu away would actually become hesitant because of the fact that he couldn't be a qualified family member.

"Actually, your statement is problematic. There's no such thing as a qualified family member. I'd like to ask... how do you think your relationship with your parents is good?"

Although Zuo Yu had never told Fang Xuan about Yukinoshita Yukino's family situation, Fang Xuan could guess most of it. Students only had home and school, so if a student had psychological problems, it usually meant problems at both ends of the family.

Yukinoshita Yukino chose her words carefully, "It can't be called good."

"So... do you think your parents are qualified family members?"

"You could say... Although our relationship isn't very good, I know my parents care about me."

"But, in my opinion, your parents cannot be considered qualified. After all, they couldn't even tell that their daughter had switched bodies with someone else." Fang Xuan hit the sore spot directly. It was obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have suddenly become a different person in their eyes, but they failed to recognize that the daughter in front of them was no longer the daughter they knew.

"But you still think your parents are a qualified family member. This criterion isn't objective. Because your parents are your family, you subconsciously favor them. People subconsciously favor their relatives. As for the so-called unqualified family members, I think it's just a momentary angry remark. Family is family, there's no such thing as qualified or unqualified."

"Actually, you're afraid you're not a good enough family member. You're afraid you're not doing well enough... Are you a perfectionist?"

After Fang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Yukinoshita Yukino. This girl's thoughts were quite cute. She could actually say something like a qualified family member. She was obviously just worried that she would not be able to satisfy Zuo Yu.

No wonder Liu Da likes the woman over there so much. If this girl looks at Zuo Yu like this, Zuo Yu is blessed.

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know how many times she had fallen silent today, but this silence was different from the previous ones.

She had gradually come to understand Zuo Yu's thoughts and the shortcomings of her own thoughts...

Come to think of it, it seems that the word "qualified" really doesn't need to be used to describe her family. She gradually feels that this body swap should be regarded as the last one.

Even if you don’t believe yourself, you should believe Zuo Yu. I will tell Zuo Yu the answer tonight.

"Besides, most people's view of family is just so-so, with a mixture of love and hate. You don't need to think that you and Zuo Yu will become a perfect family just because you have just met." Fang Xuan struck while the iron was hot. "In fact, even real family members who have been together for a long time may not be able to live up to your expectations."

"It just so happens that today is the parents' meeting, so we can check in on the status of our family, who we've been with for eighteen years."

Fang Xuan stood up and signaled Yukinoshita Yukino that it was time to leave.

The time was almost up, and if they didn't go back, they would have no way to explain to their class teacher why it took them so long to buy something.

Yukinoshita Yukino also got up and left Zuo Yu's house, holding the things Fang Xuan handed to her for the parent-teacher meeting.

Morgana watched the two of them leave Zuo Yu's house.

Do you really think it's a coincidence that today is the parents' meeting? Everything is within its calculations. However, it is not as good as Zuo Yu and did not take into account Yukinoshita Yukino's psychological state.

It stretched lazily, the autumn sunshine falling on it. It returned from the living room to Zuo Yu's bedroom to do what Zuo Yu asked it to do.

.......

"So slow, why are you so slow in buying something?"

As soon as Fang Xuan and Yukinoshita Yukinoko returned to the classroom, Li Shu complained that they had been out for too long.

"It's okay. After all, we're going to a big mall. The distance is quite long."

"I see you went back to Zuo Yu's house to play games."

Li Shu rolled his eyes at Fang Xuan, then went on to prepare for the parent-teacher meeting.

"She knows."

"Well, she knows a lot about Zuo Yu, but her family is very different from Zuo Yu's. Look, that's Li Shu's father. Even though he's being nice to Li Shu right now, if he knew Li Shu's grades were dropping, he'd be really tough on Li Shu."

"And that auntie, she's Ji Zanyue's mother. Ji Zanyue is obviously very good at painting, and she has been learning painting under her guidance for five years. But she looked down on Ji Zanyue's painting skills and only thought it was a hobby that couldn't be used as a livelihood. She insisted on forcing Ji Zanyue to study science."

"And the aunt next to her, she's the class monitor's mother. She's a huge pressure monster. She keeps telling our class monitor that Zuo Yu is so successful because his family is well-off. You should also let your children enjoy the same educational environment as Zuo Yu in the future, not like her."

Fang Xuan meticulously explained to Yukinoshita Yukino what every parent expected of their child. In Yukinoshita's opinion, few of these parents were qualified. But even though their children complained, they still chose the path that made their parents happier.

This compromise made Yukinoshita Yukino feel that becoming a family was not particularly difficult.

Fang Xuan and Yukinoshita Yukino stood outside the classroom, looking at the parents inside who were very concerned about their children's learning.
