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

It should be the third day since Zuo Yu left...

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the fact that there was no Zuo Yu beside her, and looked at her empty right hand, feeling empty in her heart.

Over the past decade or so, she had long been accustomed to going to school alone, and the original Yukinoshita Yukino wouldn't have felt uncomfortable going to school alone. However, it only took Zuo Yu a few weeks to get her used to going to school with him, and the sight of Zuo Yu chattering around her made her miss him terribly.

Yukinoshita Yukino walked into the classroom alone and saw Hanyu Mie, who had arrived earlier, reading English.

"Good morning, Yukino."

"Good morning."

After greeting Mie Hanyu, Yukinoshita Yukino sat in her seat, staring blankly at Zuo Yu's seat.

There are still seven days before Zuo Yu returns, and Yukinoshita Yukino reminds herself the time when Zuo Yu will return.

There are still seven days until she can go to school with Zuo Yu again. There are still seven days until Zuo Yu comes back...

Mie Hanyu looked at Yukinoshita Yukino staring at Zuo Yu's seat. In order not to disturb Yukinoshita Yukino, she slightly lowered the voice of her English reading.

The morning class passed quickly, and Yukinoshita Yukino came to the service club for lunch.

All the members of the service club were present today. Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the extremely excited Yuigahama Yui and remembered that Yuigahama Yui went to have lunch with Hikigaya Hachiman yesterday.

This kind of thing has happened before, Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman had lunch together, but this time it was particularly different for Yuigahama Yui.

Because this time it was Hikigaya Hachiman who took the initiative to invite her to have lunch together...which made Yuigahama Yui very happy.

Yuigahama Yui even went so far as to seek out Yukinoshita Yukino for special culinary training the day before yesterday. As for the results... well, it was exactly what Yukinoshita had expected. Last-minute cramming doesn't help much, but Yukinoshita Yukino still chose to help Yuigahama Yui with her culinary training...

Yukinoshita Yukino only remembered that in the lunch box that Yuigahama Yui brought yesterday, there was something made by Yuigahama Yui herself...and it was also the only edible dish made by Yuigahama Yui.

As for the taste...

Yukinoshita Yukino could only say, "I can't say that."

But judging from Yuigahama Yui's condition in the afternoon yesterday, their lunch date should have gone quite smoothly.

"Xukino, thank you so much for what happened the day before yesterday." Yuigahama Yui thanked Yukinoshita for what happened yesterday. She also took out the luxurious lunch box made by her mother, saying it was to thank her.

"Hmm..." Yukinoshita accepted Yuigahama Yui's thanks with a clear conscience. Seeing Yuigahama Yui's hesitation, Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Actually...it's...Zuo Yu..."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yuigahama Yui's hesitant expression and heard Zuo Yu's name from her mouth. She probably guessed what Yuigahama Yui wanted to say...

Yuigahama Yui also wanted to thank Zuo Yu. After all, Hikigaya Hachiman's sudden initiative was due to Zuo Yu's help...

Zuo Yu is really amazing. Just by chatting with Hikigaya Hachiman on the rooftop for a while, Hikigaya Hachiman started to take the initiative.

Yukinoshita Yukino learned about what happened between Zuo Yu and Hikigaya Hachiman from Zuo Yu.

Zuo Yu did that not only to help Yuigahama Yui, but also for his own selfish desires.

Zuo Yu wanted to use this to make Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman a couple. After the two of them became a couple, Hikigaya Hachiman would probably not go to the rooftop for lunch, so Zuo Yu could have the rooftop all to himself and use it as a date spot between the two of them at school...

However, Yuigahama Yui only knew that Zuo Yu helped her, but she didn't know why Zuo Yu helped her.

However, if Zuo Yu himself were here, he would probably shamelessly accept Yuigahama Yui's thanks with peace of mind.

As for why Yuigahama Yui didn't dare to say it out loud, it was because Yukinoshita Yukino had been feeling a little depressed these days, and began to exude a cold aura that ordinary people dared not approach.

As a friend of Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuigahama Yui knows why Yukinoshita Yukino's recent state has been a little abnormal...

Because Zuo Yu will not be in school these days.

According to Yukinoshita Yukino, Zuo Yu will be away for about ten days. The reason for his departure is that Zuo Yu wants to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Yuigahama Yui remembered that she said in a cute way, "Isn't the New Year already over?"

Then she learned about the lunar and solar years from Yukinoshita Yukino...

The reason she didn't dare to honestly say she wanted to thank Zuo Yu in front of Yukinoshita was because she felt that if she said it to Yukinoshita... Thank you, Zuo Yu. Thanks to Zuo Yu, the relationship between me and Hikigaya has improved dramatically...

No matter how you look at it, it seems like she's jumping around in anger, but facing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Yuigahama Yui doesn't want to lie...

In the end, she could only stammer out Zuo Yu's name.

Yukinoshita Yukino also understood why Yuigahama Yui did this. She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of thick omelette from Yuigahama Yui's hearty lunch box. "This is your thank you gift to Zuo Yu. I'll accept it on your behalf."

Yuigahama Yui watched as Yukinoshita Yukino took the initiative to bring up Zuo Yu's name, and mischievously took away Zuo Yu's thank-you gift. She was once again hesitant to speak.

As if she had seen through Yuigahama Yui's thoughts, Yukinoshita Yukino took the initiative to say, "I'm her girlfriend. Naturally, I can take his thank-you gift. Besides, this is also to avenge him for leaving me here alone."

Listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's playful but somewhat resentful words, Miura Yumiko couldn't help but complain: "The Empress of Sobu High School is actually a resentful woman in private..."

Amid the noise, Yukino Yukinoshita spent a less lonely lunch hour.

During the afternoon club activity, Miura Yumiko took the initiative to suggest going to karaoke, saying that they hadn't played together for a long time. Yukinoshita naturally knew that Miura Yumiko wanted her to change her mood. However, Yukinoshita knew that Miura Yumiko had a date with Hayama Hayato today.

Therefore, she rejected Miura Yumiko's kindness...

She didn't want her own affairs to affect other people's normal lives. Besides, she wouldn't be unable to live without Zuo Yu.

After returning to the apartment where she was alone, Yukinoshita Yukino first finished her homework, and then organized her notes from today's class.

Although Zuo Yu probably won't need it, Yukinoshita Yukino still wants to organize it.

Just in case it comes in handy...

After doing all this, Yukinoshita Yukino sat in the living room and looked at the time, which was only six o'clock.

Why does time pass so slowly...

Although the two are no longer together, modern technology is very convenient. They agreed to call each other at ten o'clock every night and chat about whether there are any interesting things happening around them.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino feel as if she had returned to the time when she and Zuo Yu exchanged bodies...

Watching the second hand crawling across the dial, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little annoyed. She simply stopped watching and went to the kitchen to prepare her dinner.

After she finished making dinner and was eating, she received a message from Zuo Yu on her mobile phone.

I have New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so I'll probably call a little later. Maybe I won't call at all.

Ah, is it going to be postponed?

Yukinoshita Yukino could understand that Zuo Yu would talk to her a little later today. Zuo Yu valued his family so much, so he naturally took the New Year's Eve dinner more seriously.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino checked the time on her phone.

It's only seven o'clock.

I don't know when Zuo Yu will be able to finish his New Year's Eve dinner...

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was originally feeling quite happy at the thought of being able to call Zuo Yu soon, became visibly depressed again.

How long do we have to wait...

Yukinoshita Yukino held her phone, touching Morgana lying on her lap, waiting for Zuo Yu's call. Just like she had waited for Zuo Yu to come back when she used his body...

After an unknown amount of time, Yukinoshita Yukino's phone finally rang. She gathered her low mood. Although she wanted to tell Zuo Yu that she missed him very much, she didn't want him to come back from his hometown early because of this.

During the year, he had a long time to spend with Zuo Yu, and Zuo Yu's parents could only be with their beloved son during this period of time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Listening to Zuo Yu's energetic voice coming from the phone, it seemed that he was having a good time over there. Seeing that the time on the phone was approaching twelve o'clock, Yukinoshita Yukino complained: "You're so slow. If you call me any later, I'll probably be asleep. If you wake me up from my sleep, I won't let you off easily."

Listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's coquettish words, Zuo Yu smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "I don't believe you will sleep before receiving my call."

"Are you that confident?"

"Of course, I believe you will wait for me. And you also believe that I will call you before twelve o'clock... just like the last Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zuo Yu talked about the last time Yukinoshita Yukino waited for him in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Listening to Zuo Yu's confident words, Yukinoshita Yukino was unable to refute anything because what Zuo Yu said was exactly what she was thinking.

Yukinoshita Yukino gently stroked Morgana with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, "Yes, I believed you would call me before twelve o'clock... and you did."

Zuo Yu picked up his phone and walked to the window. Looking at himself in the window, he said to Yukinoshita Yukino on the other end of the line, "Of course. How could I let your expectations down?"

Zuo Yu's confident words came out of the phone. This time, Yukinoshita Yukino said mischievously, "But you still let my expectations down. The surprise you prepared for me during the Chinese New Year should have been that you deliberately called me just before the New Year, and then the two of you welcomed the New Year together. It's a pity that I saw through it... I thought you would prepare some unexpected surprise for me."

Zuo Yu on the other end of the phone seemed to have anticipated that Yukinoshita Yukino would lose this sentence, and immediately said: "Who said there is no such thing, Yukino, close your eyes now."

Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes as instructed by Zuo Yu, and at the same time began to wonder what kind of surprise Zuo Yu would bring her.

Is Zuo Yu going to be by her side in an instant...

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Yukinoshita Yukino heard a familiar voice telling her to open her eyes, and she did so.

Then she saw Zuo Yu making a phone call on the other side of the mirror.

It wasn't Zuo Yu who came over, but he and Zuo Yu exchanged bodies.

Yukinoshita Yukino reacted immediately, and the two of them exchanged bodies again. The familiar voice just now was her own voice.

This was something she hadn't expected. She had thought Zuo Yu would instantly move to her side...

I didn't expect it was just a body swap.

Using Zuo Yu's body, Yukinoshita Yukino listened to the countdown from the TV outside. Yukinoshita realized that the Chinese New Year was approaching. Did Zuo Yu want her to see him in the mirror during the Chinese New Year? Or did Zuo Yu simply want her to use his body to celebrate the New Year...

Just as she was about to speak, the countdown on the TV reached the last number. In an instant, Yukinoshita Yukino saw the gorgeous fireworks blooming outside and the festive sounds of firecrackers.

Looking at the "Zuo Yu" in the mirror looking at the fireworks behind him with a surprised expression, and listening to the sound of "Unforgettable Tonight" coming from the TV next door, Yukinoshita Yukino whispered, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Yukino. This should be considered a surprise."

“…I guess so.”

"What do you mean by 'it's a surprise'? This is a surprise. You definitely can't imagine it in this form." Listening to Zuo Yu on the phone chattering in her voice about how unexpected his idea was, Yukinoshita Yukino used Zuo Yu's body to smile and looked at the fireworks blooming outside.

Although it is not appropriate to describe a boy's smile as looking more beautiful than fireworks, Yukinoshita Yukino feels that this is the right description for "Zuo Yu" in the mirror.

"......Also, Yukino, I want to correct you. We don't usually say Happy New Year at this time. We usually say Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, son. Have you finished talking to your girlfriend? Time to come over and play cards."

Zuo Yu's mother watched "Zuo Yu" watching the fireworks while talking on the phone. As Zuo Yu's mother, she could tell at a glance that it was not her son who was using her body, but Xue Noi.

My son really knows how to play.

Chapter 223 Double happiness

Looking at Zuo Yu's mother who was laughing secretly at the door, Yukinoshita Yukino stood there in a daze with her cell phone in her hand.

This is too embarrassing. Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Zuo Yu's mother and didn't know how to greet her for a moment. Should she greet Zuo Yu's mother as Zuo Yu, or should she greet her as Yukinoshita Yukino...

How should I explain this situation... Yukinoshita Yukino felt that the smile on Zuo Yu's mother's face was particularly familiar.

That was the smile Zuo Yu would show when he had bad intentions.

Did she mean that Zuo Yu's mother had discovered that she and Zuo Yu had swapped bodies, or did Zuo Yu's mother simply want to tease her son about calling her...

"Why do I seem to hear my mother's voice?"

Zuo Yu on the other end of the phone vaguely heard his mother telling him to play cards, and asked Yukinoshita Yukino who was using his body.

"Yes... Now hurry up and finish this body swap."

Yukinoshita Yukino tried her best to keep her voice down so that Zuo Yu's mother, who was standing at the door, would not hear.

However, Zuo Yu's mother was very keen to catch the anxious expression on the face of Zuo Yu's body, which was now controlled by Yukinoshita Yukino. She was very familiar with that expression. It was usually the expression Zuo Yu would show when he did something bad that he didn't want her to know.

But, this shouldn't be a bad thing... there's no need to run.

"You must be Xiao Xueno, right? You're on the phone with Zuo Yu right now. You two have swapped bodies, right?"

Zuo Yu's mother hurriedly walked from the door of Zuo Yu's room to "Zuo Yu" and said to Yukinoshita Yukino who wanted to escape.

Yukinoshita Yukino heard what Zuo Yu said from the other end of the phone.

"It's already been discovered... I guess there's no need to change it back."

Zuo Yu used Yukinoshita Yukino's body to touch Morgana, and said this with a hint of helplessness. However, the expression on his face couldn't really be described as helplessness...

He didn't feel much surprise at his mother's sudden visit. After all, Zuo Yu knew his mother's character very well...

It would be strange if she didn't take advantage of the time when I was talking to Yukino on the phone to do something.

Zuo Yu just heard his mother come to ask him to play cards...

That was his mother's plan for him. Zuo Yu's mother wanted Yukinoshita to think that Zuo Yu had been playing cards and delayed his phone call with Yukinoshita. So that she could see herself being scolded by Yukinoshita...
