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

"I dreamed about you in elementary school. You were so innocent. You were envied by a girl in your class, and you even thought of her as your friend. Then you were betrayed, and finally you and Hayato Hayama broke up. I've read all of it. Is there anything else?"

"You saw everything, there's nothing else." Yukinoshita Yukino answered in disbelief. How come all her memories disappeared, but there was a part of his memory that he didn't show her?

"Then you should have finished watching it. The last scene shows you flying alone to study abroad. Did you get bullied again abroad?"

"No, I went abroad to improve myself. Now I won't be bullied or cheated by anyone."

"That's right. As long as there's no one around you, that kind of thing won't happen again. Don't you think so?"

Zuo Yu directly pointed out Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts, "As long as you act as if you keep strangers away and adopt a defensive posture, no one will come close to you, and you won't be hurt. It's like a hedgehog, the hard thorns on the surface are only for self-protection."

Yukinoshita Yukino retorted: "I don't. I just want to become stronger, I want to change the world. People are always weak, and I am no exception. I am also afraid of being hurt in interpersonal relationships again. But if people want to improve themselves, they need to challenge their limits. I am not resisting interpersonal communication, I also want to make changes."

"So you prepared the Service Club?" Zuo Yu mentioned the club with the strange name.

"Yes, I plan to use the Ministry to connect with people."

"So what does the Service Club do?"

"People who have something, with compassion, give it to those who don't. People call them volunteers. Just like developed countries donate development aid, people provide food to the homeless. It's like lending a hand to those in need. That's what this club does."

"Isn't that the Volunteer Association? Why the strange name of the Service Club?"

"That's because the Ministry's activities are different from those of volunteers. Volunteers help people overcome difficulties, while the Ministry teaches people how to fish, freeing them from the habit of relying on others and making them stronger. Weak and ugly people will exclude outstanding people out of jealousy. If we teach those weak people how to become strong, they will stop excluding others."

It was probably the psychological trauma from her elementary school days, when she was envied by others. And because of that envy, she was bullied at school. That's why she had these thoughts. But she didn't blame others, but instead focused on improving herself, which is a good thing.

But this idea was truly naive. Could it be that she had this idea in elementary school and had been acting on it until now? This person's brain was truly futile.

Zuo Yu sorted out his thoughts and decided to start by refuting Yukinoshita Yukino's theory from the name. "So why is it called the Service Club? You must know the other meaning of service."

"Only people with dirty minds would think that way."

"But I think that meaning is what everyone is more familiar with and can accept."

"The truth always lies in the hands of a few people."

"That's interesting. Most people believe that the truth lies in the hands of a small number of people."

Zuo Yulun broke through a stage of Yukinoshita Yukino, and she began to think silently.

Zuo Yuze continued, "It's just a child's joke. The name of your service department is just something you wanted to call it. We have a term here called non-mainstream. The origin of non-mainstream is due to one's individual needs. The idea of ​​these needs will be externalized into non-mainstream behavior, which in turn leads to the emergence of non-mainstream things."

"Your service department is actually a form of expression that stems from your own personal needs. So what are your needs?" Zuo Yu paused deliberately.

Yukinoshita Yukino listened to Zuo Yu using his own voice to dissect himself and declare what he desired most in his heart.

"It's a place to stay." Zuo Yu gave this answer.

He waited quietly for Yukinoshita Yukino's answer. Yukinoshita Yukino heard what she desired most in her heart being easily expressed by Zuo Yu, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.

Should I be happy? Finally, someone understands me.

Or should I be sad because this person who understands me seems to look down on the things I cherish?

She gave a weak answer, and it was correct.

Zuo Yu was not surprised at all that the answer was correct. It should have been correct. Zuo Yu said in a heavy tone.

"As expected, you just want a place to stay, so you have a special preference for the name Service Club. It's because of a certain need in your heart. Do you want me to continue? Why did you choose this name?" Zuo Yu sensed that Yukinoshita Yukino's mood was a little unstable, and changed the subject, "But the most urgent thing now is to make my attitude towards your needs clear."

Yukinoshita Yukino's emotions, which had been fluctuating, began to stabilize, and her voice gradually subsided. "What's your attitude? You must be mocking my childish idea."

If the current body of Yukinoshita Yukino was his own, it would definitely make people feel distressed, but now that it is Zuo Yu's body, it only makes people think that he is a sissy.

Zuo Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his own voice starting to sound a little effeminate.

"Childish seems to be a derogatory word. We can use another word to describe naiveté, which can be used as a positive or negative word. Whether it is a positive or negative word depends on your behavior. I think this word is more appropriate."

"Doesn't it still have a childish meaning?" Yukinoshita Yukino was not very happy but pouted her lips, of course using Zuo Yu's body.

Fortunately, Zuo Yu has a good foundation, so even if he does such things, people will only find him cute, not disgusting.

"That's different. Innocent can be used to describe a person's good side, allowing for wiggle room." Zuo Yu made a not-so-funny joke to lighten the mood, then continued, "I think whether it's childish or naive, it just means that the person's thinking is still at a child's level. I think children are pretty good. They clearly express their love, directly express their dislike, and sincerely like something. So, I won't disrespect you for having such thoughts. I understand you, and I'm on your side. After all, a place to stay is very important to you, right?"

Zuo Yu could clearly sense the joy that was welling up in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart. "Yes, a place to stay is very important to me. As long as a person has a place to stay, they don't have to turn into stars and face a tragic end of burning up. That's what I believe."

"But the Service Club is just a stepping stone, right? The word 'service' is quite interesting. It reminds me of the saying, 'We serve the light, but we cultivate the darkness.' Service can actually describe a person's deep loyalty and sense of responsibility to something. For you, that something is your family. You want to devote yourself to family activities. However, due to your childhood, you have almost no interpersonal skills, and you know you can't take on family affairs now. So, you also want to hone yourself through the Service Club, right?"

"Is there anything I can hide from you? How come you know everything?"

"Your memories have revealed too much information to me. So am I your friend now?" Zuo Yu asked.

It was rare to find someone who could understand her, and he had indeed helped her and her sister restore their relationship, so there seemed to be no reason to refuse. Yukinoshita Yukino readily agreed.

"Then please take good care of me. Xue is seven years old."

"What kind of name is Xueshishita? You can only call me Yukinoshita."

"Friends always have to have some nicknames. I think Xue Qi Sui is quite suitable for you."

"Then I'm going to call you a leg-control pervert and tell you to look at my legs. And you, a pervert, actually used my body to take a bath with my sister, and we were honest with each other. You dead pervert."

"I'm innocent. I was invited in by your sister. It wasn't my intention."

"Then you can't refuse?"

"I didn't know where your room was at the time. I wanted your sister to go to your room to get your pajamas and find your room. That's a good reason, right?"

"But what do you think about my body?"

"You don't take a shower in the middle of summer? Do you want to take a shower with your eyes closed?"

"It's not impossible."

"You're such a strict person. By the way, you have to take a shower for me too, otherwise the classroom will stink. Last time you didn't take a shower for two days. Didn't you take a shower today too?" Zuo Yu found a way to fight back, "Go take a shower now."

"Your bad taste is almost overflowing. You want a beautiful girl's soul to wipe your body in front of you. You are really perverted."

"Then you can wait until tomorrow morning to give me a bath. You don't even know how to take care of my body." Zuo Yu's tone was full of ridicule. "You should also close your eyes when you take a bath."

"How do I wash it?"

"I am the representative of gender equality. Naturally, we both have to do the same thing. You don't let me look at yours, and I won't let you look at mine." Zuo Yu said confidently.

Yukinoshita Yukino laughed when she heard that. "This is just a conversation between friends. How nice."

Zuo Yu added, "We are not ordinary friends. We are soul mates who have traveled through time and space and swapped bodies."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment and said slowly, "I guess so."

"Then I have a request. I should be able to use your money to buy some daily entertainment items." Zuo Yu revealed his true purpose.

This afternoon, he looked around at Yukinoshita Yukino's house, but there wasn't anything he was interested in. Since she had so little time for classes, he could spend his free time in her room, playing video games or reading novels. But he had to buy a set first.

"Finally, his true colors are revealed. He's a money-grubber. He wants to get something for nothing, right?"

"How can it be considered something for nothing? First of all, I repaired the relationship between you and your sister, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, you're still using my body to study your senior year subjects. This should be considered cram school. It also costs money."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned. "I have to pay to study at your place, but you don't have to pay to study at mine." She protested, "Why don't you have to pay to study at my place? I also charge."

Zuo Yu said happily, "Okay, then we'll calculate based on class hours. You take a few classes a day at my place, and I take a few classes a day at your place. There's a big difference between us, so you can write off the cost of my lessons at your place first. And give me the extra money."

You little brat, I can't argue with you.

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little confused, but Zuo Yu continued, "There's also the difference in where we live. Yours is a luxury apartment at best, while mine is a luxury villa. There's a price difference, and you have to compensate me. And you pet my cat every day, so that also costs money."

"And the most expensive thing is that you are enjoying my friendship and living a happy life with my friends. I will charge you a friendship fee for this as well."

Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, you Grandet. Why do you charge for everything? I agree that you can buy some things, okay?"

"Yukinoshita Yukino is generous and magnanimous, beautiful and kind-hearted..."

"Stop messing around, there's something serious to talk about, or I'm going to say it."

"Of course. First of all, your service club needs to recruit two members to form it. Do you have the right candidates?"

"No, I don't have any friends in school, so it will probably be difficult to recruit two members." Yukinoshita Yukino frankly admitted the fact that she was alone in school.

"Then I have something to do. I'm already planning to recruit a member myself."

"Who?"

"Kurohime Yuto, your mother's mission, if you two were in the same club, it would also impress your mother."

"I'm not sure about her character. But since you said it's okay, then it's fine." Yukinoshita Yukino agreed to Zuo Yu's proposal. "What about the other candidate?"

"We'll see when the time comes. I might even have to prepare an email for you in advance, guiding you on how to do it." Zuo Yu changed his tone and said, "In that case, this can be considered the first mission of the Service Department. I'll guide you in establishing the Service Department."

"I'm planning to establish the Service Club," said Yukinoshita Yukino.

"But now I am Yukinoshita Yukino." Zuo Yu said in the voice of Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Yukino was once again annoyed by Zuo Yu and decided to ignore him for a while. She was discussing something seriously, yet here she was joking. However, the smile on her lips betrayed her true thoughts.

"The second thing is, do you have any impression of girls with pink hair? I saw a girl with pink hair at school today, and I looked at her uncontrollably."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about what happened at the beginning of this year's school, and told Zuo Yu about it.

"You mean, when you were reporting to school, your family's car hit a boy who was heroically saving a dog. The owner of that dog was the pink-haired girl."

"Others have names. Her name is Yuigahama Yui."

"Oh, but Yuigahama Yui doesn't seem to recognize you. Maybe there's something else going on."

"Well, because my father is a county councilor, the accident was ruled not to be my family's fault. Although this kind of thing can't be called a scandal, it will certainly be used to attack people. So, let's settle it privately."

"During this period, your father didn't let you contact any of the victims, right? He wanted to protect you."

"Yes, neither of them knew I was in the car at the time."

"Given your personality, you must have been observing them silently."

"Yes, Yuigahama Yui was fine, she was just a little frightened, but the boy was in a worse situation. He was hit by a car and injured his leg. He was hospitalized for three weeks. When he returned to school, his classmates had already known each other, and there was no place for him in the class. So, he has been alone ever since."

"You feel guilty about him. You think your car hurt him and made him unable to integrate into the class. And your family has put a gag order on him, not allowing him to mention the incident of him being hit by a car. Otherwise, he would have integrated into the class by saving the dog."

"Not long after, the homeroom teacher announced that he had accidentally injured his leg."

"You gave him the medical expenses, but he refused to tell anyone about this. It seems his family isn't very well off. What's the boy's name? I'll check on him for you later."

"Hikigaya Hachiman."

"What characteristics are there?"

"Dead eyes, rather sullen demeanor. Aren't you going to ask me why I don't go find them and tell them the truth?"

"I can probably guess that it's related to that incident from childhood."

Yukinoshita Yukino heard Zuo Yu bring up his childhood memories again. As expected, Zuo Yu was someone who could understand her. "Yes, I'm afraid of what happened in elementary school happening again. I was bullied back then not only because that person was jealous and plotting against me, but also because I was unconsciously abusing my privilege, which led to the whole class hating me..."

Zuo Yu listened to the voices fading away, and then spoke up for Yukinoshita Yukino, "You now think this escaping behavior is an abuse of privilege, and you're afraid that what happened in elementary school will happen again. So you can only watch from afar, somewhat afraid that others will find out about this."

"Well, this is my weakness. I'm still afraid that what happened in elementary school will happen again." This strong girl rarely showed her fear. It seems that the things she experienced in elementary school have caused her PTSD.

The shadow of childhood is really powerful. This is probably why an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal.

"Xue, seven years old, listen up. I won't let the things that happened in your childhood happen again this time," Zuo Yu promised Yukinoshita Yukino. "But this matter is still left to you. I'll help you observe the situation first, just like I helped you repair your relationship with your sister last time."

"So what are you going to name the Service Club's first operation, Captain Yukinoshita?" Zuo Yu deliberately made a funny tone.

"Don't do anything weird with my voice, but there's no need to choose a name. Besides, the Service Club hasn't been established yet? How come it's its first action?" Yukinoshita Yukino's tone regained its vitality.

It's about to be released, and tomorrow's update will probably be posted tonight. After all, there are no drafts saved.

I don't know what to say.

Let me borrow the words of my wife, Makoto Nikaido.

Good night, I hope your tomorrow will be happier than today, I pray so.
