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

I just want your mother to know that Yukinoshita Haruno is currently in her rebellious phase. 】

Why? This was something Yukinoshita Yukino had never considered before. She straightened her spirits and followed the text in the email.

[The purpose is not to really resist, but to appear to be resisting for the sake of resisting.

It seems that her purpose is still unclear here.

What if, you are included?

When your sister was in high school, you were studying in junior high school abroad.

When you were studying abroad at that time, did your mother also pay attention to you?

I have such a strong desire to control you when I'm around you, what if I'm far away...

The answer is obvious here.

Your sister chose to form a band as a form of resistance to attract your attention, not as a real resistance.

Your sister hopes that you will receive as little interference from your mother as possible while you are abroad, so she deliberately plays the role of a rebellious daughter for you.

Your sister loves you very much.

Your sister really wants you to become better, this is your sister's secret.

The email ends here.

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little bit incredulous when she read this. Did her sister choose to form a band just to help her and make her life happier abroad? Her sister's resistance was just a pretense, not a real resistance. Has her sister always cared about her?

Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts drifted back to her time studying abroad. She was alone, abroad, with no one to care for her. Only her sister's occasional phone calls brought some peace and quiet to her life. She had gone abroad to grow. But what had she actually accomplished? She hadn't made the friends she'd hoped for, nor had she improved her social skills. She simply went through the motions of class, and every time she returned to her rented apartment, she felt a constant sense of emptiness, as if her life had become stagnant.

Aside from the white noise of the TV, there was not a single sound in my apartment. Just as I was about to be drowned in the silence, my sister mentioned she'd recently rented a band and started practicing guitar. She even suggested a competition to see who could practice faster and better. Then, some sounds began to fill my world: the sounds of music. It seemed like that was when I first fell in love with music.

Every time she compared practice progress with her sister over the phone, the chaotic cacophony of voices, along with the orderly rhythm of tones, rescued her from the silence. Could she have endured those three years without the companionship of music? Yukinoshita Yukino fell into deep thought. Perhaps not. She offered this answer.

Leg-obsessed pervert, part of my reasoning is flawed. My sister didn't rebel for the sake of resistance, but to save me from silence. She chose to form a band and fill my three years abroad with music. My sister loves me more than you think.

Come to think of it, I've never had many friends. My sister's competitions have always been more playful than competitive, like a friend's. She'd compete with me to see who could finish chores faster, or at school, with her best friends to see who could finish their duty faster. I've always been alone at school, without those nitty-gritty relationships, but I've always been observing. She'd go out and play pranks on me, probably just to make me feel like I had friends.

If I hadn't realized it, I wouldn't have noticed these details. But once I realized it, I looked at my sister's behavior from a different perspective. I realized how secretive she was, burying her love beneath hostility. You've done so much for me, my sister. I should have said "thank you."

It's such a big secret. I'll forgive you for what you did last time, you leg-control pervert. Yukinoshita Yukino put down her phone, got up and prepared to go to her sister's room to express her gratitude. Yukinoshita Yukino had just walked to the door of her room when someone knocked on her door again. At this time, her sister was the only one at home. So, there was no doubt that the person at the door must be her sister. What a coincidence, we are sisters after all. Yukinoshita Yukino opened the door thinking this.

Yukinoshita Haruno stood at the door holding her guitar. "Do you want to continue the competition from last night? Today, it's just the two of us at home, so we don't have to plug in the headphones."

"Thank you, sister." Yukinoshita Yukino said to her sister.

"Hey."

The panda and lion that Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Haruno won at the fireworks festival last time were on Yukino's bed, with the two dolls leaning against each other.

Chapter 21 Have a sweet dream

How should Yukinoshita Haruno describe her feelings?

She had originally just wanted to tease Yukino, but she didn't expect to be thanked by her sister right away. Had she done anything recently that deserved thanks? Had she just dragged Yukino into the conversation? Confused, she put her left hand to her mouth, her right hand supporting the guitar. "Hey, did I do anything you deserve thanks for?"

Yukinoshita Yukino found it a little funny to see her sister looking confused. She pointed at the guitar in her hand and said, "This is it. I used to practice the instrument when I was studying abroad. You deliberately asked me to practice the instrument with you, didn't you?"

Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head to look at the guitar in her hands. Her original intention had been discovered. She felt a little happy that her sister understood her, but she didn't want to admit it. If she admitted it, Yukino would definitely think she saw through me. Given her personality, she would definitely be eager to take over the family affairs. She didn't want Yukino to become like her, a puppet of the family, and be hindered by family affairs. Even though the opportunity to repair her relationship with Yukino was right in front of her, she had to refuse it. So, she had to continue to lie, pretending that she didn't love her that much.

Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze towards Yukino was filled with so much, yet she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Do you think so? Do you have any basis for that?"

The look in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes when she looked at Haruno was very pure. She just wanted to reconcile with her sister. If her sister was really good to her, then she should get along well with her without being so roundabout. This was Yukinoshita Yukino's simple wish.

Yukinoshita Haruno just stood in front of Yukino's room, waiting for her answer. Although the door between them was already open, one person was still outside and the other was still inside.

"Because you're so amazing, sister." Yukinoshita Yukino frankly acknowledged Haruno's strength. "So, your resistance isn't so childish and superficial. Forming a band is obviously not something we should do, and it would definitely be blocked by our mother. You're being superficial on purpose just to relieve the pressure on me who's far away abroad."

Yukinoshita Yukino truthfully stated Zuo Yu's guess, then added her own inference, "Forming a band allows you to legitimately learn your instrument, and then use it to compare your progress with mine, disrupting my life. Actually, it's not really a disruption; it's meant to enrich my life. Because of what happened in elementary school, I'm not very good at interpersonal relationships and have no friends abroad. So, you use this method to keep me company. This is probably our special way of keeping in touch, through constant comparison."

All of this was correct, but he couldn't admit it. Yukino, who was still solely focused on the family, would definitely become a puppet of the family, and he had to refuse. Yukinoshita Haruno still looked relaxed, "That's what you think, is there anything else?"

As expected, she did understand her sister, but she had been blinded by her desire to surpass her. Yukinoshita Yukino continued her reasoning, "Also, sister, your excessive playfulness with me is probably to make up for my lack of friends. So, sister, you could have cared for me more openly instead of resorting to such excessive means."

That part's a little wrong, Yukino. I simply thought it was fun to play with my sister. I prefer the more extreme tactics you're describing. That way, my actions wouldn't be considered lies, right? Yukinoshita Haruno had a plan: to make her doubt her assumptions by showing her that she was the one who toyed with her. Yukinoshita Haruno said, regaining her usual smile.

"That's true. You have misunderstood me for several years. Is there any compensation?" Yukinoshita Haruno leaned forward slightly.

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled. It seemed that she was right. She had more or less understood Zuo Yu's way of thinking. Do you want compensation? Let's see. Anything that's not excessive is acceptable. After all, it was a fact that she had misunderstood her sister. With an unstoppable joy in her tone, she said, "What compensation do you want?"

"Can it be the same as yesterday? We have exchanged opinions, and now it's time to be honest with each other." Yukinoshita Haruno clasped her hands together, spoke in a pleading tone, and a pleading expression appeared on her face.

It's not that I can't accept it. That leg-obsessed pervert was able to take a bath with me yesterday, so there's no reason why I can't.

Yukinoshita Yukino accepted the offer. Yukinoshita Haruno excitedly put her guitar back in her room, while Yukinoshita grabbed a set of pajamas and went to her sister Haruno's room. Throughout their conversation, the two were never in the same room. Although the door was open and they could see each other, they still couldn't be considered the same room. This was a subtle fact that Yukinoshita Haruno noticed, but Yukinoshita Yukino didn't. There was still a distance between them.

In the bathroom, the two sisters took a bath together. Yukinoshita Yukino saw that her sister was not wrapped in a bath towel and asked, "Didn't you wrap a bath towel yesterday?"

Yukinoshita Haruno entered the tub, the water slightly overflowing. She stretched, drew a semicircle in the air with her hands, and placed them on the tub's armrests. She leaned back against the tub, revealing her beautiful figure, her legs slightly parted, her vagina wide open. She replied with some doubt, "Yes, just like yesterday. We're sisters, and our bodies are pretty much the same. There's no need to hide anything."

You're showing it all now, Zuo Yu has seen it all. No, this is my sister, I need to protect her. It seems that they don't usually do this, taking a bath together. "Just this once, don't come to me again next time." Yukinoshita Yukino tried to protect her sister in this way.

However, her sister was thinking about how to do something that would disgust Yukino, which was like handing a bullet to Haruno.

"No, we haven't done this for several years. We have to do this every day from now on." Yukinoshita Haruno's tone had a hint of coquettishness.

It was a difficult situation. It was rare for her sister to express her wishes so frankly. Should she refuse like this? No, there was always a way. Yukinoshita Yukino came up with a plan. "How about I take the initiative to look for you in the future, and you are not allowed to take the initiative to look for me." She wanted to turn around and warn Zuo Yu not to take the initiative to look for her sister. This was a way to have the best of both worlds.

"Oh, so Yukino likes to take the initiative. However, if I occasionally want to take the initiative and approach you, you are not allowed to refuse~" Yukinoshita Haruno continued in a teasing tone.

I'm trying to protect you, silly sister. Could I tell her about Zuo Yu's existence so she'd give up? Yukinoshita Yukino quickly extinguished the thought, which made her think of a bad outcome. Never mind, it wouldn't be such a coincidence once in a while. "Okay." Yukinoshita Yukino hugged her legs and huddled in a corner of the bathtub, completely different from Yukinoshita Haruno's wild and open movements. She agreed somewhat reluctantly.

Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to maintain her offensive and do something that would disgust Yukino. Her back left the bathtub and she began to lean forward. "Why are you so shy? Aren't our bodies similar~" Yukinoshita Haruno deliberately dragged out the last word.

It's just useless fat, Yukinoshita Yukino hypnotized herself like this. She could feel Yukinoshita Haruno's gaze looking at a certain part of her body, and then she heard her sister's voice.

"However, the gap in some areas is indeed too big to ignore." Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, moving her whole body, causing ripples in the bathtub and the sound of water dripping onto the floor tiles could be heard in the bathroom.

That's enough. I've already expressed my strong dissatisfaction. Why do I have to do this? Doesn't my sister like me? Yukinoshita Yukino began to doubt Zuo Yu's guess.

Seeing Yukino's self-doubt, Yukino immediately struck her down. "But the gap between us isn't just this. Or rather, it's just an appearance. If it was just to draw attention to you, why am I still in contact with the band members?"

Yukinoshita Yukino showed a look of shock, now madly doubting her life. Her sister's understated words seemed to negate her and Zuo Yu's reasoning, that is, her sister was deliberately playing tricks on her. Yukinoshita Yukino dried herself, quickly put on her clothes, and fled the scene in a hurry. "Come again next time~" Yukinoshita Haruno was still fanning the flames.

Just like yesterday, Yukinoshita Haruno thought. But this time, she wasn't happy. She leaned back against the bathtub, looking up at the ceiling.

Yukinoshita Yukino returned to her room, snuggled down on her bed with her panda stuffed animal in her arms, somewhat angrily. What the hell? Zuo Yu had completely guessed wrong, and he was still boasting to his sister. She opened her phone, ready to leave a message to Zuo Yu about his guess being wrong, when she found another email. Puzzled, she opened it.

Hi, hi, hi, it's me again. Should I give a formal greeting? (Laughs)

What kind of mood is Yukinoshita in now when she opens her phone to check this email?

Was he woken up by the ringing of his phone because of the email, or did he open it in anger after being teased by his sister again?

In short, you must not be in a very good mood right now. 】

You know I'm not in a good mood right now, so let's get to the point. Why did you send this email? You always like to talk nonsense. Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the email fiercely.

[Are you being played around by your sister right now?

Are you doubting whether my speculation is wrong?

If so, please read on.

If not, please find PS. 】

It comes with options, right? But does he also know that his reasoning is flawed?

[If you are doubting whether your sister really loves you.

I can give you a definite answer, yes, she loves you more than your parents.

Your sister really wants the best for you.

I wrote this to you in my last email.

Everything your sister is doing right now is for your own good, I can guarantee that.

However, this may not be what you want for the better, and this is the current conflict between the two of you.

Regarding these, we can discuss them in detail during our next exchange.

The following is photoshopped, what about the rest? Being a riddle man, right? Riddle man biss. Yukinoshita Yukino cursed Zuo Yu like this.

[PS:

As for the next body swap, I estimate it will happen when you start school.

There are two reasons.

1. For you, the home you're in right now is like a prison, tightly imprisoning your soul. Last time, the moment I entered your home, I felt uncomfortable, so I was able to prepare in advance.

2. Kurohime Yuto lives next door to your apartment, so your mother may not let you go back now, but she will definitely let you return to your own apartment before school starts. By then, your soul will no longer be imprisoned at home, and a body swap may occur. Please be prepared in advance.

It might seem unnecessary to explain, but it's necessary for you. Isn't it? Yukinoshita Yukino, who loves to get to the bottom of things (laughs).

And one more thing.

You are just an ordinary high school girl now. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and pay more attention to your own development.

Your parents will take care of the things at home for you. Just smile more often and you can live a happier life.

One more thing, sweet dreams.

I love you, Zuo Yuliu. 】

Yukinoshita Yukino's mood improved a lot after reading these words. He was indeed a frivolous man. He had only said a few words and left the word "love". This perverted leg control was really greedy for his own body. I'm so cute, it's normal for people to like me.

Yukinoshita calmed down. She was somewhat aware that her sister loved her, though she didn't know why she wouldn't admit it. What she said was quite true, but there was one point I disagreed with: I didn't consider my family a prison. As a member of the Yukinoshita family, dedicating myself to them was my duty. There was nothing wrong with doing good for the family, and there was nothing wrong with wanting to share the pressure on my parents.

There was a sound of someone walking outside the room, and judging from the sound, it should be my mother. She came back so late, I wonder how tired she must be. Maybe, because of my parents' busy schedule, I sometimes feel lonely. But seeing how hard my parents are working, I really can't just stand by and watch. I know they love me, but maybe it's not very obvious, just like my sister. It's better to say that our family hides our love very deeply, so I want to share the pressure with them. Everyone is busy for this family, and as the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, it is normal for me to want to contribute. Yukinoshita Yukino thought like this, and wanted to deny what Zuo Yu said.

She gently turned off the lights, hugged the panda doll, and murmured, "Have a good dream, my mother, my father, my sister and Zuo Yu." Then she fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 22 Today is another day full of hope

It was around 5: when Zuo Yu was awakened by a ringing phone. His cat quietly ran into his room again.

Zuo Yu looked at his body and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he wasn't the type to change his appearance daily, otherwise he'd have a split personality sooner or later. He washed and dressed at a normal pace this time. Hmm, it was still more comfortable to stay at school. He rubbed the cat's head, then walked out of the house with a leisurely pace. His cat also watched him leave.

I came out early today and was able to eat buns with Fang Xuan and the others in the bun shop at the entrance of the community.

"It's really the most comfortable time to go to school." Yan Meng sighed as she looked at the almost empty bun shop. "There are few people in the school cafeteria, the teaching building, and the school supermarket. It feels like I have the school to myself. Why are there so many people in school?"

Fang Xuan took a sip of the soup, which was a bit hot. He blew on the bowl and heard Yan Meng's words. He then said, "Our class is not bad. There are only 40 people. You were in the intensive class before. How many people were there in a class back then?"

"There were almost 70 of us. I felt like I couldn't breathe in the classroom." Yan Meng seemed to recall the scene at that time. The classroom was filled with desks, from the front blackboard to the back blackboard. "Whenever we made a blackboard newspaper, we had to ask the students sitting in the back to sit in our seats to make room. We also had to requisition their chairs so that we could write on the higher ground."

"I always thought the last row was quite dirty. One corner was filled with mops and brooms, while the other corner was a bit better, with a water dispenser," Yan Meng recalled. "But it wasn't much better. Some people liked to pass their water cups to the back during self-study and ask them to pour hot water for them. It was really ridiculous that they could just fill the water before class, but they had to order others around and disrupt their learning progress."

"How long will our good days last, the days when we monopolize the school?" Fang Xuan looked at Zuo Yu and asked.

Zuo Yu's mouth was stuffed with a steamed dumpling, the scalding broth leaking out, making his speech a bit slurred. "It was before the military training for the first-year students. Our homeroom teacher hasn't rushed them back to school yet, but the experimental and intensive classes are coming next week. After all, we're using almost the same teachers, so their homeroom teacher will let them return."

Li Shu felt Zuo Yu's voice sounded a little strange and laughed, "Then the class schedule will be back to normal."

"Yes, then we have to stay in school until half past ten." Fang Xuan said with a bit of despair. He felt a little unhappy when he thought of this. He decided to think of something happy, such as what happened yesterday. He looked at Zuo Yu with eyes full of expectations.

"Don't be like this, I'm scared. Let's talk it over nicely. Old Yan, please keep an eye on your boyfriend. He might have tendencies in that area." Zuo Yu gave a standard answer.

"No, I'll give it to you. You two have such a close relationship anyway." Yan Meng also said jokingly.

"Look, I've been abandoned. Can you accept me?" Fang Xuan hypocritically put his hand on Zuo Yu's thigh, which was a bit disgusting.

Zuo Yu moved his hand away from his thigh and said, "Don't be disgusting. I just ate a bun and don't want to spit it out. If you have something to say, tell me now."

Fang Xuan honestly withdrew his hand and cleared his throat. "Yesterday's meal doesn't count. You should treat me to a new one."

Still thinking about the meal I had with you.

"Let me give you a choice. Do you want to eat ordinary food a few times, or eat good food once?" Zuo Yu also cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Choose."

"A good meal." Fang Xuan answered without any hesitation.

"really."

"Then it must be good food. I'm almost tired of eating these foods normally."

"Really? I remember Yan Meng only ate those kinds of food for a whole semester. I thought you liked them too?"
