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

Yukinoshita Yukino put down her teacup and looked at Zuo Yu who was sitting next to her reading a book.

It seems that all I can bring to Zuo Yu is the peaceful daily life when I am by his side, and...

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Zuo Yu and put his left hand on her thigh, moving it from time to time, feeling the touch of the black silk and the softness of her thigh.

This guy can't even read a book properly. Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino picked up her teacup again. When she was about to drink the tea, she found that there was no more tea in her cup.

She stood up and went to pour herself a new glass.

Zuo Yu realized that something was missing in his left hand. When he saw Yukinoshita Yukino standing up with a teacup, he handed her his long-dried teacup.

"Give me a drink too."

Yukinoshita Yukino took Zuo Yu's teacup and walked to the teapot with both of their cups, only to find that it was empty.

How come you drink it so fast? I used to be able to finish a pot of it in the whole afternoon, but now...

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the two teacups she had brought from the table and glanced at Zuo Yu. Zuo Yu seemed to have noticed her gaze and made a face at her.

How indecent! Yukinoshita Yukino complained about Zuo Yu's childish behavior in her heart, and took the teapot to get water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the scenery outside through the restaurant window.

Snowing.

This was the first snow since the two of them started living together. Yukinoshita Yukino watched the snowflakes falling rapidly as the cold winter wind blew. Just by looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, one could feel that the temperature outside was very low.

The people on the streets also showed some respect for the cold weather and disappeared without a trace.

Zuo Yu seems to like to compare the untrodden ground after snowfall to a white album. It does look like one. Every snowfall only has a short period of white album. The traces left when people first step on the snow remind people of the good times.

But as time went by, the snow melted, and the original beauty seemed to have disappeared. Only a few people still remembered the traces left on the snow and their mood when they left the traces.

When the next snow falls, most people only remember the traces they left on the snow when they look at it. It's like a photo album; only when you flip through it can you recall the memories of the photos you left behind.

Listening to the sound of Zuo Yu turning pages of the book, I watched the snow outside gradually dye the ground white.

Now is the time to turn the page...

And while the white of winter can feel desolate, and the white world can even feel like the end of the world, everyone knows that after winter comes spring. Beneath the snow lies new life, poised to surprise everyone in spring.

The water boiled, and Yukinoshita Yukino began to brew the fine black tea brought by Zuo Yu's mother.

Watching the reaction between hot water and tea leaves, the originally colorless water gradually turned into color.

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly thought of it.

If Zuo Yu used photos to record the good memories, I would record them in the form of a diary.

Black tea, when steeped in hot water, releases a rich aroma, but this aroma is currently trapped in the teapot, held back by the lid. Confined within the teapot, it is impossible for outsiders to detect its aroma.

Looking at the snow outside, Yukinoshita Yukino said with some emotion.

"Come to think of it...winter isn't over yet."

Yukinoshita Yukino poured the brewed black tea into her cup, feeling the rich aroma of the tea permeate the room. As she poured the tea, she looked at her slightly cool clothes, touched the slightly hot black tea, and took a sip.

Just right.

When Zuo Yu heard Yukinoshita Yukino's sigh, he turned sideways to look at Yukinoshita Yukino who was pouring tea.

"Yukino, do you know that you just said something very provocative?"

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino had just filled Zuo Yu's cup with freshly brewed black tea. One cup of black tea had already filled the room with fragrance, and two cups of black tea made this fragrance almost materialize.

At the same time, something else seemed to materialize. Yukinoshita Yukino walked to the kotatsu table, carrying her own and Zuo Yu's cups of black tea. She placed the cups on the table, sat next to Zuo Yu, and watched him take his cup away.

"Hey, is there any?"

Chapter 205 The Stifling Blue

The two people in the room were reading quietly, and it had started snowing outside.

Unlike the extreme weather outside where cold winds are raging, the temperature in the house is at a temperature that feels very comfortable to the human body.

Coupled with the aroma of black tea that filled the entire room, it gave people a warm feeling. Yukinoshita Yukino looked at herself and saw that Zuo Yu's hand was dishonestly placed on her thigh just as she sat down.

She sighed softly and lifted the cup of tea in front of her face. She felt the aroma of the tea warm her body, which had just become slightly cold from the brewing process, and savored the peaceful and comfortable atmosphere...

If time stopped at this moment...

Cats always like to stay in warm places in the winter, just like cats love to climb onto computer cases in the winter, and it's hard to get rid of them because that's probably the warmest place in the house. Since they were sitting on a kotatsu, Morgana also stayed on it.

Morgana lay within reach of Yukinoshita Yukino, and he seemed a bit fatter than before. He didn't know if it was because Yukinoshita had been feeding him too well lately, or if he had absorbed too much of Zuo Yu's intelligence, or if it was a combination of both...

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Morgana in front of her, one hand holding a red teacup, the other reaching for its plump belly, feeling the warmth brought to her by Morgana's body temperature. She also somewhat understood why Zuo Yu liked to place his free hand on her thigh.

This plump and warm feeling is really irresistible.

Just when Yukinoshita Yukino was wondering if time could stop at this beautiful moment and turn this moment into eternity...

Her cell phone rang.

Who will it be at this time?

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the phone curiously. It shouldn't be her mother or sister. They had just met a few days ago and had a meal together. They shouldn't come to disturb her or ask how she and Zuo Yu were getting along...

And Yukinoshita Haruno would call her in the evening, not in the afternoon.

Yukinoshita Yukino saw that the name displayed on the phone screen was Yuigahama Yui.

It seems that since I started dating Zuo Yu, I haven't had any contact with them...

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered that she hadn't spoken much to Yuigahama Yui and the others since they celebrated her birthday and Zuo Yu came to her world. She answered the phone.

"Hello, Yukino. I'm Yui."

Yuigahama Yui's energetic voice came through the receiver. Yukinoshita Yukino felt that just by hearing this voice she could see Yuigahama Yui's smiling face on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, I know. What's up?"

Zuo Yu saw Yukinoshita Yukino start to answer the phone, and he consciously pulled his hand back from Yukinoshita Yukino's thigh. Although Yukinoshita Yukino's thigh was very comfortable, it was still not allowed to be placed on it when she was chatting with outsiders.

"Is there something... Yes, there is something, but let's not talk about it for now. What have you been busy with recently, Yukino? You haven't contacted us since we celebrated your birthday. I've been in touch with Yumiko and the others recently, but you haven't come to see us..."

Yukinoshita Yukino listened to Yuigahama Yui's somewhat lost voice on the other end of the phone. Could it be that she became like this because she hadn't contacted her...

"I do have some things going on recently." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Zuo Yu, who had one hand on the table to support his face, and with the other hand holding Morgana on his lap, and turned sideways to look at her phone, "Because of those things, I was a little busy, but now it's over."

She watched Zuo Yu talking to her, but without making any sound, just mouthing.

She tried to imitate Zuo Yu's mouth shape.

Is this saying that now that she has Zuo Yu, she has forgotten about Yuigahama Yui and the others...

"Really? That's good. I thought..."

Yuigahama Yui was a little worried about Yukinoshita Yukino. After all, although she knew that Yukinoshita Yukino was waiting for Zuo Yu on her birthday, she didn't know that Yukinoshita Yukino had already met Zuo Yu and the two had started living together sweetly. In her impression, Yukinoshita Yukino was in a state where she had not waited for Zuo Yu, so she was a little worried that Yukinoshita Yukino would become depressed because of this incident.

As for the reason why she didn't come to see Yukinoshita Yukino in the past few days, it was because she was worried that she might irritate Yukinoshita Yukino.

After all, although she and Hikigaya Hachiman have not become a couple yet, she can at least see him during class every day.

"What else did you think?"

"No... nothing." Yuigahama Yui quickly interrupted the topic and said awkwardly, "Let me tell you why I want to talk to you... Isn't the holiday almost over? Yukino, how is your holiday homework going?"

"It's finished."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Zuo Yu who was laughing beside her. Although it was Zuo Yu who used her body to finish the holiday homework in one go, it was her body that did the homework.

So, she completed her holiday homework by herself.

"So fast!"

Hearing Yuigahama Yui's shocked voice on the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino found it a little funny.

Now she was sure that Yuigahama Yui had not done much of her holiday homework. To be more extreme, she had not even touched it at all.

"Yui, you haven't finished your holiday homework yet, have you?"

"..."

"Could it be that you haven't even opened your schoolbag since the holiday started?"

"..."

"Could it be that you made a strict study plan for yourself before the holiday? But as soon as you got home and put your schoolbag on the desk, you forgot about your plan."

"Stop talking now, Yukino. I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Yuigahama Yui felt that Yukinoshita Yukino might have installed cameras in her home, otherwise how could she describe her situation at home so clearly.

It's true. Just by listening to Yuigahama Yui's apology, Yukinoshita Yukino realized that Yuigahama Yui had spent these days of vacation according to what she said.

As for how she knew this, it was because when she exchanged bodies with Zuo Yu, she learned about the status of most ordinary students during their holidays.

Not every student can be as self-disciplined as her during the holidays.

Yukinoshita Yukino found Yuigahama Yui's reaction very amusing. She could also understand how Zuo Yu usually felt when teasing her. She smiled and said, "There's no need to apologize for this. I know why you're looking for me. You want to find Yumiko and the others to finish your holiday homework together."

"Then... Yukino, you agree?" Yuigahama Yui asked tentatively. She originally thought that Yukinoshita Yukino would reject her suggestion.

"Well, if it's just about doing homework together, I have no reason to refuse. And if there's anything you don't understand, you can just ask me directly." This is how Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

"Okay, then I'll contact Yumiko. As for the time... let's say the day after tomorrow. The snow will stop the day after tomorrow, and Yumiko and I will come to help you with your homework then."

"Okay. See you the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Yuigahama Yui's ecstatic voice on the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino hung up.

After Yukinoshita Yukino hung up the phone, Zuo Yu asked, "Is it over?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stretched and snatched Morgana from Zuo Yu. "It's over. Yui and the others said they'd come to my apartment the day after tomorrow to work on their holiday homework together."

"The day after tomorrow... Yuigahama Yui and the others are coming over?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was petting the cat with a nonchalant expression, as if she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, Zuo Yu couldn't help but remind her that he and Yukinoshita Yukino were currently living together, "...Do they know that I'm here?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stroked Morgana's plump belly, tilted her head, and said in an uncertain tone, "You know... at least part of it."

"Which part?"

"Part of you will come on my birthday..." Yukinoshita Yukino only realized at this moment that she only told them that Zuo Yu was back, but they did not see Zuo Yu coming with their own eyes.

In other words, in their eyes, I didn't see Zuo Yu. I had forgotten to contact them these days because I was with Zuo Yu. They thought that I might be having a cold war with Zuo Yu because he didn't come...

No wonder there was a hint of worry in Yuigahama Yui's tone just now. She was worried about herself...

"You mean the things they're still misunderstanding? I did tell them you were coming, but they didn't know you were coming... But, as long as I tell them you're coming and then explain what happened in the past few days, won't that be enough?"

"So...are you going to tell everyone that you and I are living together?"

"Can't you?"

"Okay, okay. But have you ever considered how they will view you? What will the image of you become in their minds?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Zuo Yu's serious expression and understood a little bit. If she told Yuigahama Yui and the others that she and Zuo Yu were already living together, they would be shocked. However, this was not something to worry about.

"They will probably be shocked. However, as friends, they will probably support me. Just like you supported Fang Xuan and Yan Mengqian..."

"The situation is different. I've known about Fang Xuan and the others since they were little. Furthermore, they didn't hide the fact that they were a couple from the first day of school. Even if they didn't hide it so much, the fact that they were living together was only known to those in the class."

Zuo Yu explained to Yukinoshita Yukino that her situation was different from Fang Xuan and the others.

"Then I can just let Yui and the others know..."

"Of course you can." Zuo Yu held his forehead and began to explain to Yukinoshita Yukino why he was so cautious. "You should know the image you have in the eyes of Yui and the others. Especially your attitude towards the opposite sex."

"Well... I haven't had any communication with boys in front of Yui and the others..."

Yukinoshita Yukino also gradually realized how much of a shock her living with Zuo Yu might bring to Yuigahama Yui and the others.

A person who basically has no communication with other opposite sexes may have secretly lived with someone of the opposite sex.

Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who had already understood, and said, "It seems that you should understand it too. The fact that you and I live together will bring such a big shock to Yuigahama Yui and the others."

"But even so, I'm going to tell them that you and I are already living together."

"You're really stubborn, but I don't think I stopped you from telling you that you and I live together."
