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

"Isn't it because you guessed the time of this body swap and prepared it for me in advance? I even saw the shopping receipt on your desk. It seems like you prepared these things before going on the school trip."

"It's just that when I was shopping for things for my school trip, I bought some ingredients I'll need this weekend."

"Yes, you just happened to know that I would be swapping bodies this weekend, and you just happened to prepare enough food for three or four days. What a coincidence."

Listening to Zuo Yuyou's sarcastic words, Yukinoshita Yukino finally decided to confess. She said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Yes, these things are for your body exchange this time. I prepared them specially for you."

"Wouldn't it be better if you just admitted it earlier..." Zuo Yu took out some ingredients from the refrigerator and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. Last time you could only eat it cold, but this time you can eat it freshly cooked."

.......

After Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino finished dinner, Zuo Yu was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

But his behavior was stopped by Yukinoshita Yukino. Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to see Zuo Yu using her body to take a bath... The most important thing was that she could feel that if Zuo Yu used her body to take a bath, Yukinoshita Yukino would feel weird.

"Uh-huh, forget it. It's your body anyway."

Zuo Yu didn't care. He had no idea how many times he had seen Yukinoshita Yukino's body. This time he deliberately emphasized it in front of Yukinoshita Yukino just to see her reaction.

Her reaction was just as Zuo Yu expected, she was still as thin-skinned as ever.

Including those who were eating just now, Zuo Yu just made a few jokes, and Yukinoshita Yukino could no longer hold on.

It seems that it would be fun to come to Yukinoshita Yukino's world.

Zuo Yu thought that after today, the two of them really wouldn't be able to see each other for a month, and he didn't know how Yukinoshita Yukino would react when she saw him after a month of accumulation.

"Since there's nothing to do at night, let's go to sleep."

"Isn't it a bit early to go to bed now? It's only a little after eight o'clock. Over there, you should still be in evening self-study at this time."

Yukinoshita Yukino said reluctantly that if Zuo Yu went to sleep now, their body swap would be over and they would not meet again until a month later. She didn't want Zuo Yu to leave now, so she asked him to stay a little longer.

Just like what Zuo Yu did every day, he stayed here until ten o'clock, and then returned to his own world.

"You don't want me to leave."

"...Yes, I want to spend more time with you. I've been looking forward to it for a month. I think it's not worth it if the two of us only spend such a short time together." Yukinoshita Yukino rarely expressed her feelings directly.

"You've been very straightforward this time in stating that you don't want me to leave so soon, but I will leave eventually. Are you still planning on keeping me until ten o'clock?"

"......Yes."

"But even if I said I was leaving at ten o'clock, you would probably be reluctant to let me go. And then you said it was the last time and you could stay a little longer."

"......"

"Someone just told me that staying up late is bad for your health and they didn't want me to stay up late. Now you are trying every possible way to prevent me from leaving so early. Aren't you forcing me to stay up late?" Zuo Yu said what Yukinoshita Yukino had just said.

The boomerang is coming.

"No matter how much you don't want me to leave so easily this time, I will leave this time. So there's no need to think about waiting until you're unconscious and unconscious to send me off. I'd rather you send me off while you're conscious. After all, this departure isn't forever."

"I won't keep you here for long. After all, you still have classes tomorrow."

"Could you please not say such depressing things?" Zuo Yu was amused by Yukinoshita Yukino's words.

Yes, she knew that she had to go to class tomorrow, so she wouldn't be kept for too long.

"So you want me to accompany you to watch the sun rise tomorrow, right? After all, my name is Zuo Yu, which symbolizes the arrival of a new day. You want to watch the sunrise with me tomorrow, right?"

Yu, written with the characters for "日" and "立", means "to stand" or "to ascend the throne". Together, "日" and "立" signify "a new day ascending the throne", signifying the arrival of a new day.

This is the name given to Zuo Yu by his mother, telling Zuo Yu to look forward. No matter how dark the world behind him is, a new sun will eventually rise and a new day will come.

Yukinoshita Yukino naturally understood the meaning of Zuo Yu's name, and she also understood why Zuo Yu always looked optimistic.

In order to live up to the name his mother gave him.

"I want to watch the sunrise with you tomorrow, which will symbolize that our relationship has entered a new stage."

Yukinoshita Yukino confessed her inner fantasy, and it was exactly as Zuo Yu said.

"That won't do. Someone just told me not to stay up late. But as for a new beginning in our relationship... I don't think it's time yet. In my opinion, it will only mean that our relationship has entered a new stage when I come to your world."

Zuo Yu looked out the window of Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment. "So, if you want to watch the sunrise with me... wait until the next time I come to this world, and then we can watch it together. Anyway, Yukinoshita Yukino is the only one in your apartment right now. It would be too sad for her to wait all night to watch the sunrise alone."

"So, in order to avoid any regrets about our first time watching the sunrise together, let's watch the sunrise together after I come into this world."

"Okay. Goodbye, and goodnight."

Yukinoshita Yukino agreed with Zuo Yu's statement. Perhaps it would be beautiful enough to watch the sunrise with someone around.

"Then we'll see each other in a month."

Zuo Yu said so.

the next day.

Yukinoshita Yukino woke up from her own bed and saw that there was no one around her. Although talking with Zuo Yu before bed did make her feel like she was sleeping with him, it was ultimately just her consciousness that came here, not a physical body.

However, after a month, he will be able to actually come to his side of the world.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt much happier when she thought of this. She looked at the empty space beside her and imagined what the scene would be like if there was one more person here.

Pulling open the curtains and welcoming the sunlight, Yukinoshita Yukino welcomed the new day in her apartment.

.........

"Ugh."

Fang Xuan beside Zuo Yu suddenly sighed. The two of them were a little different from usual. Their nominal reason was to come out to print the test papers, but their actual job was to move the test papers printed by the teacher to the office.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing all of a sudden? Is it because you've seen so many test papers and today is another dark day?"

Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan were walking in the empty corridor, holding the test paper for Lesson 3 in their hands.

It is class time now, and Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan are taking advantage of the study time to move the test papers.

As for why they no longer move the test papers during breaks, their teacher has his own ideas. They all agree that the ten minutes between classes is too long, and they all tacitly occupy the four minutes after class and the four minutes before class.

Two minutes was enough for everyone to run to the restroom and relax, but it was not enough time for Zuo Yu and the others to bring the test papers back from the second-year teaching building.

So they could only move the test papers during self-study class.

"According to what you said, every day is a dark day for us." Fang Xuan rolled his eyes at Zuo Yu, thinking that Zuo Yu knew why he was sighing, but was still asking him questions knowing the answer.

"Then why are you sighing?"

"I sigh for the departure of my best friend. Someone is going to enjoy life, you, the college entrance examination deserter." Fang Xuan was disgusted with Zuo Yu's behavior of leaving the senior year of high school soon. Moreover, Zuo Yu was going to start a nine-to-five student life, leaving him alone here to live a senior year of high school life that was like being in prison.

"How can I be considered a college entrance examination deserter? If I wanted, I could live a nine-to-five student life here. You know that."

"Thank you for your hard work, staying in jail with us."

"Honestly, the treatment in prison should be better than this."

Zuo Yu made an objective evaluation of his senior year of high school which was about to end.

"That's right. According to the Geneva Convention, the treatment of prisoners of war should be better than ours... Are you really going to leave just like that?"

Fang Xuan was also somewhat reluctant to see Zuo Yu leave. His childhood playmate had finally found his home. It was just a pity that Zuo Yu's home wasn't in this world.

"Of course... But I'll probably stay here until New Year's Eve."

"So, do you want to go out for the night together on New Year's Eve? Just you and me."

"sure."

Fang Xuan's treatment was different from Yukinoshita Yukino's. Fang Xuan was going to spend the last time with Zuo Yu before the daylight came. But Yukinoshita Yukino was going to welcome Zuo Yu when the daylight came.

"You are so decisive. You just followed that girl so easily."

"You should also know what that girl did on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival... Then you should also know how important her unconscious behavior is to me."

"I understand that, but I didn't expect that the girls here couldn't keep you. Do you think that if they all joined together, they could be comparable to Yukinoshita Yukino?"

"No, they are special. Don't think I don't know that you secretly assisted them. It's a pity that even with your assistance, they didn't do anything that was in line with my heart."

"Yeah, who knew that the famous Zuo Yu is actually a 'mama's boy'?"

Fang Xuan said this with some amusement. After all, who would have thought that Zuo Yu valued her mother so much.

"You wouldn't... Never mind. I won't talk about that anymore."

Fang Xuan thought of some things again, but didn't say them out loud. Anyway, Zuo Yu was smarter than him and knew his limits, so why was he worrying about it?

"Thanks for helping me tell Yukinoshita Yukino about my secret yesterday." Zuo Yu thanked Fang Xuan sincerely. It was indeed he who directed Fang Xuan's actions yesterday.

"There's more to our relationship than this, but isn't Yukinoshita Yukino's spirit a little fragile?" Fang Xuan smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. Yesterday, he hadn't put much pressure on Yukinoshita Yukino, but by then, Yukinoshita Yukino's mentality was about to collapse.

"No, she just has the habit of thinking too much." Zuo Yu knew that Fang Xuan was talking about what Yukinoshita Yukino was struggling with yesterday.

"It's not that she can't answer your question, she just can't let herself accept that I came to her world with nothing. After all, in her eyes, she deprived me of everything here and went to her world. I can understand the psychological pressure she is under, otherwise I wouldn't arrange for you."

"You? Penniless!" Fang Xuan laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He freed a hand, pointed at Zuo Yu, and said, "Anyone can be penniless, except you. When you reach Yukinoshita Yukino's other world, you will definitely still be the son of the Zuo family. With your personality, there are shortcuts available, so why torture yourself? In short, there is no way you can reach Yukinoshita Yukino's other world with nothing."

Zuo Yu just smiled and didn't explain anything.

The test paper in Fang Xuan's hand was scattered all over the floor by a strange gust of wind.

The two of them could only bend down and start picking up the test papers that were blown everywhere by the wind.

"So, if you leave, can you leave your cat and your villa to me?"

"No, they exist in this world because of my existence. If I leave, they will..."

"Just like my memories of you, they will disappear with your departure."

Fang Xuan said what Zuo Yu had always been reluctant to say.

"You also know that your memories of me will disappear with my departure."

"That's for sure. This is the tacit understanding between us...why do you feel guilty?"

Fang Xuan looked at Zuo Yu, who had a rare guilty expression on his face.

"That's for sure. Valuable material things are worthless to me, but spending time with you everyday is priceless."

Zuo Yu said in an affirmative tone that for him, the villa and other things were unimportant. What made him miss this world was the daily life with his classmates.

"That's because money isn't an issue for you... For us, material things are more valuable. But there's no need for you to suddenly feel so guilty. You said you'd cherish what you have, so we still have a month to spend in jail together."

Fang Xuan extended his hand in front of Zuo Yu and said to him in a serious tone: "You will eventually welcome a new day with your Yukinoshita Yukino, and I will also welcome a new day with Yan Meng. Each of us has someone to accompany us, just like sometimes I don't go home with you after school. We all have our own things to do."

Zuo Yu took the test paper from Fang Xuan and said, "You are right, but... could you please not say it while you are sorting the test papers?"

"We're in a hurry... If we dawdle any longer, we'll probably be interrogated by the monitor. Should we move the test papers or defuse the bomb?"

The two laughed together and rushed towards their classroom with the test papers.

Chapter 169 We are different

"Xiaoxue, why is the lunch box you made today spicy again?"

At noon in the service club, Yukinoshita Yukino, the club leader, had lunch with her club members as usual. Yuigahama Yui complained that the bento Yukinoshita made was a bit spicy again.

"There's nothing I can do about this. The ingredients I bought a few days ago were quite spicy."

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered the food Zuo Yu had cooked a few days ago, and it tasted really good.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino was somewhat shocked that someone who hadn't cooked for a long time could still cook with such high proficiency. Then she thought about Zuo Yu's claim that he was a person blessed by God, which seemed to make a lot of sense. After all, Zuo Yu didn't exercise much, but he still had a perfect figure...

"Isn't this the meal Yukino made for her boyfriend? Why are you still complaining after eating it?" said Miura Yumiko, who is always outspoken.

"Is there nothing I can do... Yukino's cooking skills are so good that even if the taste is not what I like, it still appeals to me." Yuigahama Yui said with a smile.

"No need to compliment me like that. My level is just average."

"This isn't a compliment, it's just that Xiaoxue, your cooking skills are indeed very high."

Yukinoshita Yukino was still enjoying the interaction with her friends, but Kurohime Yuto next to her was a little strange. In the past, she would join in their interaction, but today she just held her lunch box and ate lunch, with no intention of talking to Yukinoshita Yukino and the others.

"What's wrong, Jie Deng? Why do you look so worried? Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Yumiko Miura noticed that Kurohime Yuto was not in a good condition today and asked with concern.

“It’s not difficult…”

As Kurohime Yuto spoke, she glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, and Yukinoshita Yukino immediately understood why Kurohime Yuto was worried.

Kurohime Yuito was a little embarrassed to tell the fact that she was leaving at the end of this semester. It was she who took the initiative to leave, and it was not due to family reasons.
