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

Yukinoshita thought carefully for a moment, "You're not allowed to use my body for strange things, and you're not allowed to add any interpersonal relationships to me. I'll add others as needed. I don't have anything special to do normally, so just study hard and get good grades on your exams."

It was a simple request. Zuo Yu also stated his own request, "Don't always put on a serious face. Usually, you should help someone when they ask for help. That's all. My class schedule is usually very full, and I don't have anything else to do." Zuo Yu's request was also very simple.

After all, they were both students. Zuo Yu was a senior in high school and had nothing else to do except attending classes. Yukinoshita Yukino was a freshman in high school, but because her social circle was limited, she didn't have anything special to focus on besides attending classes.

After agreeing on the above matters, the two then exchanged some living habits. A feeling of exhaustion came over them, and Yukinoshita Yukino fell on the bed. Neither of them knew when they lost consciousness.

----

The next day, Yukinoshita was woken by her phone's alarm. Feeling the lower half of her body's treacherous nature, she finally believed what had happened yesterday wasn't a dream; it was a real body swap. Still using Zuo Yu's body, she sat in a daze on the bed. The swap would continue. She looked over at Morgana, still sleeping, sprawled across the room, and quietly began to wash up.

While washing up, Yukinoshita saw Zuo Yu's face in the mirror and thought of the story he told her yesterday and the promise they had made. Yukinoshita murmured to herself, "Fortunately, the person I exchanged with is a good person." Then she walked out of the house.

It was already dawn at five o'clock in the morning. At the gate of the community, Fang Xuan and the other two were greeting him in front of the bun shop next door. Yukinoshita also bought a few buns on the way. The four-person team successfully gathered and walked towards the school, just like usual.

On the other side, Zuo Yu was not woken up by the alarm clock at 5:30 as usual, but woke up naturally at 8 o'clock.

He glanced at his surroundings and thought to himself, "Looks like the exchange will have to continue. I wonder if Yukinoshita can adapt to the environment over there. It's best not to reveal her true identity." He pulled himself together. What should he do now? Try to get some sleep, then return to his own body as a conscious being, guiding Yukinoshita on how to behave? This idea was quickly rejected by Zuo Yu.

Right now, Yukinoshita is still on summer vacation, so I can sleep in broad daylight. Later, I'll be using Yukinoshita's body to go to school, and then I won't be able to sleep like this. We'll have to adapt to each other's lives sooner or later. Given the way my schedule is managed, and my observations of Yukinoshita yesterday, I'll probably be nicknamed "the cold-blooded study committee member."

Zuo Yu's thoughts began to wander. Since he couldn't change the status quo, he might as well enjoy himself. He'd been attending classes at school, and he wasn't one to settle down. It was summer vacation, so what was wrong with having some fun? As for Yukinoshita, I believe she might even like my side better.

Zuo Yu was still immersed in the fact that he now had plenty of time to enjoy life when his stomach growled. Thinking carefully, this body hadn't eaten last night, so it must be hungry. So, what should I eat in the morning? This was a major life event, affecting my state of mind for the whole day. Should I go out for dinner or cook for myself?

After thinking it over, Zuo Yu finally decided to cook for himself. He took a look at the things in Yukinoshita's kitchen and finally decided to make some pancakes.

Zuo Yu was enjoying his work when his phone rang. It showed that it was Yukinoshita Yukino's sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, calling. He still had to answer the call from his family.

Zuo Yu quickly pressed the answer button, and a teasing voice came from the other end: "My dear sister hasn't left the house for a long time, has she?"

I'm sorry, your sister not only went out, but also went very far away and ran into another world.

Zuo Yu imitated Xuexia's cold tone yesterday: "Yes, so what."

"Oh, really, sister, I invite you to attend the fireworks display tonight, do you want to go?"

Zuo Yu fell into thought. Yesterday we agreed not to add new interpersonal relationships. This should not be considered a new interpersonal relationship, so he can go.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go? Is it because mom wants to go too and you're too scared to go?"

"I go."

"Then I'll pick you up this afternoon. And then I'll buy you a new kimono."

Yukinoshita Haruno hung up the phone with a smile on her face. Her sister was so understanding. She could play with her at her fingertips with just a little stimulation.

Zuo Yu listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone with a serious expression. It looked like he had something to do today: a fireworks display. It seemed like he hadn't seen fireworks in a long time. Zuo Yu waited for the afternoon to arrive with anticipation.

Chapter 8 Yang No: This doesn’t look like my sister

Zuo Yu was searching for tips on how to wear a kimono at home, looking forward to the fireworks display in the evening. He had always loved fireworks displays when he was watching anime, watching others wearing yukata and having fun with their friends.

bathrobe? kimono!

Zuo Yu then realized something was amiss. "I remember that kimonos are worn for formal occasions, and different kimonos are chosen depending on the occasion." Yukata, on the other hand, are cooler summer attire. This meant he was going to wear a yukata to some important event. "Will there still be time for fun?" Zuo Yu was starting to feel a little bored. These gatherings were mostly made up of boring socializing, pointless probing, and insincere flattery. They were just a show for others to see. In reality, everything had already been decided; it was just a show to demonstrate the friendly relationship between the families. But it had to be done. Although it was for show, failing to do so would lead to ridicule. "I guess I'm going to be very tired today," Zuo Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly. He had to work hard everywhere. Even without academic pressure, there was still the pressure of life. Academic pressure was easier, after all, students' minds were more innocent.

Yukinoshita Haruno arrived at Yukinoshita's apartment before noon. She missed her sister very much. She couldn't wait to open the door of Yukinoshita's house and saw Yukinoshita sitting in the living room looking at the computer. When she saw her coming, she quickly closed the computer.

"Sister, you're here." Zuo Yu treated Yukinoshita Yukino's family the same way he treated his own family. He should have asked her about her relationship with her sister.

Well, something is wrong, Yukinoshita Haruno was keenly aware of it. She didn't remember her sister greeting her so obediently. Had Yukino changed, or was she just putting on an act?

Zuo Yu watched Yukinoshita Haruno hesitate to speak, wondering if he'd guessed wrong. Could it be that the sisters were simply irreconcilable? He immediately took emergency measures. "Which family are you going to watch the fireworks display with today?"

Did you guess there would be a family event today and put on a show? My silly sister, the more you act like this, the less likely you are to surpass me.

"How did you guess that you were going to attend a family event today?"

"Because we're going to buy kimonos this afternoon. If we're just going to the fireworks display, a yukata will suffice, but we're going to wear kimonos, which are usually only worn on important occasions. That means today isn't just a simple fireworks display. Am I right?"

"It seems that you have grown a lot during the years you were abroad. Can you guess which family you are going to contact today?" Yukinoshita Haruno showed a smug and provocative expression, as if to show how little you know about family affairs.

"The fireworks display is held to boost tourism, and our family is a real estate company. Therefore, it should be related to local hotels and B&Bs. I just checked the more famous hotels in Chiba. Considering the venue of the fireworks display, we are going to watch the fireworks display with the Heiji family tonight. By the way, we will discuss the development of the local tourism industry, or we have already discussed it. This time it is just to show the lasting friendship between our two families." Zuo Yu said confidently with a faint smile on his face.

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little shocked. Is this still the sister that she could control with one hand? How come she is so well prepared today? It seems that Yukino has made a lot of preparations in order to hit her. But I still have a killer move, so let me see how much you have grown. "You guessed it basically right, it's amazing." The smile on his face became more intense. I don't know if it was because he was happy for Yukino's growth or because he was teasing her. "But it's a pity. I already have a kimono. My mother picked it out for me. And you haven't worn a kimono yet, so I have no choice but to pick it out for you."

The provocation in her words was even stronger, and Zuo Yu felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that there was such a tense atmosphere between these two sisters. Did something happen? But thank you for reminding me. Yukinoshita Yukino had been abroad before, and I found her study abroad records. The answer was also very simple. "Sister, does going to college make people stupid?"

In Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes, Yukino had a slightly bored expression, and her tone was full of provocation. "It seems like I haven't been back from abroad for long, and I'm already participating in family affairs. When did you first get involved in family affairs, sister?"

Why does it seem like the concubines competing for favor in palace fighting dramas, here they are competing for who is more valued in the family.

Yukinoshita Haruno remained silent. Zuo Yu looked at her with a mocking look in his eyes. His previous arrogance was gone. Zuo Yu's heart was filled with the pleasure of conquest, as refreshing as eating a whole iced watermelon on a hot day.

"So, do you know your mission tonight?" Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly spoke up, unleashing a killer move. "There's a child in Kurohime's family who's about your age. He'll be transferring to your class after this summer vacation. You need to meet him today."

Huh? No way. It can't be that ridiculous.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her sister's shocked expression and felt satisfied. Now the situation has reversed. Fortunately, she prepared a killer move. Now Yukino must think that she is going to be abandoned by the family. She quickly showed a desperate expression. Then, in the evening, she realized that she was actually talking about a girl. Showing the expression of being toyed with by her sister again, she was so excited just thinking about it. Her tone was full of playfulness, "You also know what this means. You must do your best tonight."

Zuo Yu's arrogance was instantly extinguished. His heart was broken. Actually, he was fine. It was normal for men to hang out with other men; after all, they had a lot in common. But being someone's companion was a different matter. It was like drinking with friends versus drinking with your boss. Had the Yukinoshita family fallen to this point? They were already selling out their family, so it was better not to stay. Of course, it was just talk.

Hey, Yukinoshita Yukino, I don't want to add any new relationships to your life either, but the situation forces me to do so. Just bear with it when the time comes.

Humph, the situation has been reversed. You are still a younger sister after all, and it is impossible for you to surpass me. The sharp offensive just now almost made me think that there was a different person inside Yukino, and almost thought that this was not my sister. Now it seems that it is just like that. Yukino, your growth is limited after all, so you should wait for a few years. The corners of her mouth rose wildly. Yukinoshita Haruno took advantage of the victory and said, "I have to dress you up nicely in the afternoon. After all, the first impression is very important."

Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno's arrogant expression and sensed something was amiss. Could it be that there was no affection between the sisters? After all, they were a family. He didn't believe there was no affection at all. "I'm leaving, are you so happy, sister? It seems like you've won the family's approval. Congratulations, sister. I'll be fine over there, and you should be fine too," Zuo Yu said with a tea-like tone.

Yukinoshita Haruno hadn't expected Yukino to resort to such tactics. Thinking back, it seemed like she'd been able to provoke Yukino like that because she trusted her. So, what kind of sister was she in Yukino's eyes? Someone who would betray her own sister for the family's benefit? No, don't let that happen. Don't let Yukino hate her. It seemed like she'd gone too far.

Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno's tangled expression. Sure enough, there was still affection between them. Then I could see through Yukinoshita Haruno's tricks. "I believe in you, sister, and I also believe in the decision of our family. That child must be a good person. Sister, do you think I will be happy?"

It was just simple misdirection. The purpose behind deliberately saying Kurohime had a child without specifying the gender was to have one thing in mind: it was a girl. In other words, Yukinoshita Haruno was just teasing me, wanting to see my expression flip. It was quite a mischievous thing. However, she was too obsessed with teasing me. If she had said it was a boy, and then explained that she had received the wrong information, there would have been no loophole. Why not do that? The only answer is that she was afraid of being disliked by Yukino. If I caught her weakness, things wouldn't be so simple. It was time for me to fight back.

Yukinoshita Haruno's expression gradually turned strange as she listened to Yukino's words. Oh no, she took it seriously. What should I do? Should I explain? I had to say it. There was still room for maneuver. Just say that the person you wanted to see was just a girl. I could even fight back. Do you really not trust your sister? She was about to speak when Zuo Yu interrupted her.

"If it's for the family, I don't think I can accept it. But if it's for my sister, I can sacrifice my own happiness. Sister, you must be happy for me." Zuo Yu said in a tone as if he was ready to die.

Stop talking, I can’t breathe. Yukinoshita Haruno shouted in her heart, and was interrupted by Zuo Yu again when she wanted to speak.

"After all, I have sacrificed too much to marry a woman." Zuo Yu's tone changed, full of teasing.

Now, the situation has reversed again. Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, who was doubting her life, with a smug look on his face.

Oh, Yukino knew it was a girl. I was fooled, I was fooled by my own sister. She had also investigated the family she was meeting tonight, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out that they had a daughter. Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused. Was this person in front of her still her sister? From the moment she got in front of the computer, pretending to look up information and quickly closing it, she had been laying the groundwork, letting her guard down and thinking she was unprepared. Until the duel between the two of us, the final killer move was also within Yukino's expectations. This doesn't seem right, is this her own sister?

Zuo Yu watched as Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes gradually filled with suspicion. Oh no, he'd gotten carried away. Yukino wouldn't be able to make such a sharp judgment. However, there was still room for maneuver. Although he had only done some last-minute research on tonight's events, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't know. He could still use this information gap.

"Finally, I won! Sister, do you want to guess how long I've been preparing for today?" Throwing the question to others limits their thinking and allows you to take the initiative. This is a tried-and-true tactic.

"How long did it take to prepare?"

You see, Yukinoshita Haruno's thinking has been restricted by me now. She will only wonder how long I have been preparing to tease her, and will not doubt my identity at all.

"Don't answer questions with questions, my sister." I deliberately changed the focus again, making her completely divert her attention to the teasing I had prepared for a long time.

"Then you must have prepared for a long time, after all, you were able to successfully trick me."

Okay, now she completely believed that Yukinoshita Yukino had been preparing for a long time to tease Yukinoshita Haruno. She didn't even notice whether the Yukino in front of her was the real Yukino.

"It's a long time, but I can't say the exact time." It was complete nonsense, and the answer was deliberately vague. She would be troubled for a while, but not for long.

My goal had been achieved. Now, if I could just change the subject, she wouldn't have any doubts about this incident. Even if she thought about it later, her focus would be on how long I had prepared to tease her. She wouldn't doubt me at all. This was a perfect blind spot.

"I'm going to the fireworks display tonight and won't be able to eat anything, and I don't have time to eat in the afternoon. Let's go have lunch first. Since I beat you, I'm going to treat you to something delicious." She naturally changed the subject from the relationship of winning and losing to the spoils of the winner.

"Okay." Yukinoshita Haruno accepted the offer, but she was still thinking about how Yukino had prepared for such a long time to tease her. She had her sister in mind. This would change the situation from a one-sided massacre to a mutually assured victory. It looked like things would get more interesting.

Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno's expression, Zuo Yu felt secretly pleased. Perfect, worthy of me, I beat her twice. Subconsciously, I wanted to snap my fingers to celebrate. Unfortunately, Yukinoshita Haruno wasn't sitting in the passenger seat, but in the back seat with him, so he could only hold back.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Yukino, who was sitting next to her, a slight smile on her face. She must be very happy to have won against her. You could tell from her expression that she had really grown up. Was moving out so useful, or was studying abroad? In any case, could Yukino grow up to the point of opposing her mother? This time it was a girl, but what if it was a boy next time?

Zuo Yu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Yukinoshita Haruno. He looked at her and saw a look of forlornness on her face. Was she discouraged? He consoled himself, "I've been preparing for a long time to win you. I know I'm still a little behind you, but I'll catch up sooner or later."

Yukinoshita Haruno received unexpected comfort, and her eyes looking at Yukino began to be full of playfulness again, "Yukino has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her sister. Sister, I am very happy, but you hurt me too deeply. Don't say a few more words."

"That's all."

You're such a tsundere, Yukino. You're truly my lovely little sister.

Chapter 9 Everyone is Winning

Yukinoshita Haruno, who was being played around by Zuo Yu, happily ordered food for Zuo Yu and paid for it. Zuo Yu was very happy with the food, and Yukinoshita Haruno was also very happy to see her sister happy. In this way, a world where everyone is happy is achieved, and everyone is winning.

Then, Yukinoshita Haruno tried to drag Zuo Yu shopping. It was called shopping, but it was really just window-shopping. Women window-shopping was terrifying. They treated themselves as the client, but even more terrifying than the client. The client had to pay a deposit before they could make decisions, but they didn't. I had to find a way to refuse.

"Didn't you say you were going to buy a kimono?"

"The party doesn't start until tonight, and after we buy the kimonos, we'll have some free time. We'd better go for a walk." After all, Mom was waiting there. Yukino and I were terrified of her presence, and she didn't want to see her too early. Besides, today was Yukino's first party, so she should relax a little.

"Where is our gathering place? On a boat in Tokyo Bay. Where is the fireworks display? At a shrine next to Tokyo Bay. Mom probably won't go there to play." In order to avoid shopping and to experience the summer temple fair, Zuo Yu made a suggestion.

"what do you mean?"

"We can go play over there first, and then go to the party when the time is almost up."

If you think about it carefully, it's possible, but Yukino should be bored with the temple fair. There was a hint of doubt in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes when she looked at her sister.

I had really gone all out to go to the temple fair. This question was easy to answer, though. Zuo Yu said, "After studying abroad for a few years, I kind of miss the local festivals." It was a reasonable explanation, but it was for Zuo Yu. If this were said by Xue Nai, it would be questionable.

"Really? Then let's go pick out a kimono first." Seeing Yukino's reason and thinking about what happened in the morning, Yukinoshita Haruno perked up. Could it be that Yukino set a trap for her again? Now I am ready, revenge is about to begin.

Zuo Yu couldn't help but smile as he saw Yukinoshita Haruno was full of energy, and she was so happy just picking out clothes for her sister. She was really a sister-con.

Besides family crests, kimonos typically feature a variety of designs, each with its own distinct meaning. For example, cranes represent nobility and longevity, butterflies symbolize change and immortality, dragonflies symbolize victory, and peonies represent happiness and prosperity. Zuo Yu, recalling the information contained in these designs, sought one that best suited the image of Yukinoshita Yukino. He came across a kimono with a white egret and arrow-feather pattern. The egret symbolizes a wish for success for the examinee, while the arrow-feather pattern represents a courageous attitude towards all endeavors. This resonated closely with his observations of Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Let's take this one." Zuo Yu said, pointing to the pink kimono.

The clerk then pulled out a kimono tailored to Yukinoshita's figure and tried it on. It fit perfectly. Yukinoshita Haruno helped Yukino pull her hair up. The contrast between her dark roots and her white neck was striking, and through the gaps in the clothing, the pink kimono didn't dull Yukino's skin; instead, it accentuated its fairness. Well, she was indeed her lovely sister.

The two helped Yukino pick out a kimono and put it on. Yukinoshita Haruno also changed into her own kimono. Unlike Yukino, her kimono was mainly red, decorated with hydrangeas and butterflies. I remember that hydrangeas symbolize strong love and a happy family. Through observing Yukinoshita Haruno, it is most likely the latter. Are you eager for change and a happy family? Zuo Yu is becoming more and more curious about the family of Yukinoshita. The youngest daughter in the family lives alone outside, and the eldest daughter longs for a happy family. And when her mother was mentioned just now, Yukinoshita Haruno showed some fear. What kind of mother would make her daughter feel scared? He thought of Li Shu's parents, another parent who wanted their daughter to become a successful person. It seems that he needs to know more about Yukinoshita's family situation.

The two quickly arrived at the temple fair. Although it was a midsummer afternoon, the festive atmosphere still attracted many people.

The activities at the temple fair are very different, and their main purpose is to liven up the atmosphere, so there are raffles, which are purely luck-based activities. Activities such as ring tossing and scooping goldfish require certain skills, but most people think that luck plays a big role. Zuo Yu's hobby is a very normal boy's hobby, shooting. He usually goes to the shooting experience hall to play for a while in his free time. But now that he is a senior high school student, he hasn't played for a while, and his hands are itching. So, he went straight to the shooting place. The rules are simple, use an air gun to shoot balloons of different colors, and then exchange items for the number of balloons shot.

"Want a fight?" Zuo Yu asked Yukinoshita Haruno, rubbing his hands. This was to mask his desire to fight, to turn what he really wanted to do into a normal competition between sisters, to prevent Yukinoshita Haruno from becoming suspicious of her sister.

Hmm, Yukino has invited me to another match. Should I accept or not? Yukinoshita Haruno is confident that she can defeat Yukino. This time it's a pure contest of skill, no tricks allowed. Is she trying to defeat me in this aspect? I won't lose.

"How do we compete?" Zuo Yu thought to himself after hearing this, it's really easy to control him, he has completely fallen into the misunderstanding.

"Three rounds of shooting, ten shots in each round. Let's see who hits the most targets, and do it alternately." Zuo Yu suggested that they make it a tie this time to find out the win-loss record between the two sisters.

"Who goes first?"

"You first."

"I understand you're afraid before the fight even begins. Wait till I hit you full range."

"Did the university you attended only teach you how to talk?"

Yukinoshita Haruno picked up the air rifle and suggested with a smile, "How about we compete like this? We shoot at the same time. Whoever loses will give all her points to the other team. Winner takes all, okay?"

It seems that the competition between the two sisters is really fierce, but even ordinary play requires a prize. But it’s better this way, there will be no doubt at all.

"There's no reason to refuse. Come on." Zuo Yu picked up another air gun handed to him by the boss, but it was a little troublesome to count the number.

Anyone who has ever shot balloons at a stall knows one thing: the sights on the gun are completely inaccurate, and are designed to prevent you from aiming properly.

Zuo Yu fired a shot first to test the error, but it missed. Then he heard Yang Nai say with a hint of mockery, "I thought you could hit the target every time."

Is this to put psychological pressure on us? No use, this time it's bound to be a draw.

Haruno fired once and missed. Zuo Yu didn't intend to reciprocate with a taunt. Instead, he carefully measured the error and fired again. He hit the target, but not the one he was aiming for. He had almost found the error. He fired three more times, all of them hitting the target. He was about to share the information, "Sister, I've found it. Next time, I won't miss a shot." As he spoke, he kept his eyes on Yukinoshita Haruno's gun.

I know this without you having to tell me. The aim is off, and there's room for error. Are you looking down on me? Or do you want to defeat me fairly? Yukinoshita Haruno had a thoughtful look on her face.

Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno's expression, Zuo Yu knew she'd taken the bait again. He deliberately created an appearance of fair competition, making her think she was seeking a fair duel. "In reality, you're already in my grasp."

"Aren't we going to start fighting yet? Isn't it fair competition if we shoot at the same time?" Zuo Yu added fuel to the fire, making Yukinoshita Haruno completely believe it.

As expected, it’s Yukino who wants to have a fair fight, so come on.

The two finished shooting at almost the same time, with the same score. Yukinoshita Haruno showed a look of relief; she had almost lost. Then, with a relaxed expression, she said, "So who wins?"

"We both won."

“How are scores calculated?”
