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

"Thank you, auntie, for your hospitality today." Yumiko Miura and the others did not forget basic etiquette and thanked Mrs. Yuigahama.

Mrs. Yuigahama smiled and waved, watching Zuo Yu and the others leave her home.

Walking on the road at night, Zuo Yu and Yuigahama Yui first saw off Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hime who were about to take the tram. Then Zuo Yu and Yuigahama Yui stayed behind.

"Thank you for what you did today." Yuigahama Yui thanked solemnly.

"I didn't do anything. You did it yourself." Zuo Yu looked at the street lights and said nonchalantly, "You should be thankful that you have a group of good friends. They are all good people."

"Don't you consider us friends yet?" Yuigahama Yui muttered in her heart. "Did Yukinoshita agree to let us join just because she wanted to set up a service club?" Yuigahama Yui thought about this and asked the question deep in her heart: "What is Yukinoshita's purpose?"

"Well, you'll know for sure one day." Zuo Yu stood casually under a streetlight. "That's all. Yuigahama-san, you can go back first."

Still calling me Yuigahama-san.

"Can we be friends then?"

"Well, I think we will become friends. It just takes some time." Zuo Yu said mysteriously, then changed his tone, "See you tomorrow, Yuigahama-san."

"See you tomorrow then, Yukinoshita-san."

Yuigahama-san, you'll get to meet the real Yukinoshita Yukino tomorrow. Whether you can become her friend then depends on how you act.

Chapter 88 Cat Funny Stick

It was the night of early September, and Zuo Yu was walking alone on the way back to Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment. He was still thinking about what Yuigahama Yui had just said.

Yuigahama Yui is really enthusiastic. She is indeed a cheerful character. It seems that she should be the first person who can become Yukinoshita Yukino's friend. In this way, we can start the next step when we exchange next time.

The autumn night was slightly chilly, and the streetlights were still on as usual. The light shone on Zuo Yu's face, giving him a familiar feeling. It seemed as if he had returned home like this over there, to an empty house. But the good news was that he still had a cat to keep him company. Yukinoshita Yukino really did live alone in the apartment.

She probably spent her three years studying abroad in the same way. There is a difference between liking to be alone and being used to being alone. The former chooses to be alone because he doesn't like the lively atmosphere, while the latter chooses to be alone when he has no other choice.

Zuo Yu turned on the lights in Yukinoshita Yukino's house, and the empty room seemed quiet and tidy. The silent atmosphere turned into a giant shark that was about to swallow Zuo Yu. Before swallowing him, Zuo Yu habitually turned on the TV, randomly found a channel, and let the sound of it repel the silent shark.

Zuo Yu sat on the soft sofa and began to type a text message. This weekend, Yukinoshita Yukino was sure to have a very lively weekend.

After preparing the text messages for Yukinoshita Yukino this week, Zuo Yu packed up and fell asleep.

After that, he saw Ji Zanyue confessing to him. He was not surprised by this. It was just that the consciousness in his body was now Yukinoshita Yukino, and she had never had such an experience before.

He hadn't expected a classmate from his freshman year to suddenly confess his love. Was it because Yukinoshita Yukino resembled a character from a romance novel? There was a special atmosphere there?

Zuo Yu thought about this possibility for a moment, but it was hard to say. Ji Zanyue, who had played with him in freshman year of high school, suddenly wanted to confess her love, which seemed illogical no matter how one looked at it.

But why didn’t you confess to Ji Zanyue during the 100-day oath-taking ceremony, and why did you date for the entire 100-day college entrance examination?

"You went to Yuigahama Yui's house for dinner. That's why you came so late today?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked this question after hearing what Zuo Yu did with her body today.

It seemed that she was a little upset about Zuo Yu having dinner with four women while she was helping him deal with a difficult confession.

"It's an emergency. I didn't expect Yuigahama's mother to be so welcoming. She dragged us together to talk for such a long time. And isn't there some progress? The matter you entrusted." Zuo Yu laughed and said, "Look, now you can even go to Yuigahama Yui's house for dinner, and Yuigahama Yui also said something she had been hiding. There is also some progress on the matter of Hikigaya Hachiman. As long as Yuigahama Yui asks Hikigaya Hachiman out this weekend to clarify things, maybe the thing you have been worried about will be solved."

Although Zuo Yu's approach made Yukinoshita Yukino feel a little uncomfortable, the effect was significant. The matter that had originally weighed on her for an entire semester was now nearly resolved in less than a week thanks to Zuo Yu's actions.

However, she was still a little afraid about whether to explain the matter clearly, after all, the apology was a semester late.

"Don't worry. If you feel indebted, help Yuigahama Yui to pursue Hikigaya Hachiman. Maybe Hikigaya Hachiman will become very popular at some point, and then Yuigahama-san will be in trouble."

Zuo Yu sensed the hesitation and hesitation deep in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart, and he was really kind. She was clearly not at fault in this matter, but she kept thinking about doing something to make amends for the people who were hurt in this matter.

"I didn't..." Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to deny the hesitation deep in her heart, but she suddenly remembered halfway through her words. In this state, Zuo Yu could understand her feelings. Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking mid-sentence.

"Let's be honest, there shouldn't be many bad people around you." Zuo Yu continued to encourage her, "Think about it, your school is a high school for further studies. Most of the students there are similar to those in my class, preparing for further studies. Most of them probably don't have the energy to do those boring things."

Yukinoshita Yukino remained silent. Zuo Yu could already feel that she was prepared deep down in her heart and would tell the story when the time was right.

"It's almost time to get ready for bed. I don't know when this exchange will end." Zuo Yu urged Yukinoshita Yukino to go to bed quickly.

Tomorrow is the day he will use this body. He has been getting plenty of sleep these days using Yukinoshita Yukino's body. If he suddenly switches back to his own body that has always been sleep-deprived, he will probably feel very sleepy. Zuo Yu thought so, and in order to keep himself in a good mental state, he should urge her to go to bed early.

Yukinoshita Yukino fell asleep obediently, and before she fell asleep, she said "thank you" with a smile.

Yukinoshita Yukino's consciousness was sent back to her own body by Morgana, and Zuo Yu took over her body again.

In the space of consciousness, Zuo Yu and Morgana had another conversation.

"Master, it's time to rest. You have classes tomorrow."

Morgana realized that Zuo Yu stayed to call him to task.

"No rush. I can sleep in class tomorrow. Let's talk about this body swap first."

"There are only two more days left before it's over, really. I haven't used my master's traits for anything else."

"Then can you explain why you pulled Yukinoshita Yukino here? Did you pull her over from that romance work?"

Morgana remained silent and agreed with Zuo Yu's statement.

"Really? I'm looking for someone based on the person in the game I was playing at the time. This won't happen again."

Although Zuo Yu was angry, he didn't say anything about Morgana. After all, this was his cat, who had been with him for three years and had secretly helped him solve the problem of his trait leaking. He felt embarrassed to drive it away.

"When is the next exchange? Didn't you book it?"

"Next Mon."

It'll take a week, Zuo Yu silently calculated the time. That time seems to be around the time of Mid-Autumn Festival. This guy won't...

"The last exchange won't be during my National Day holiday, right?" Zuo Yu asked Morgana. This time seemed meaningful.

It seems that this guy is determined to push his master out.

"Yes." Morgana confessed honestly that Zuo Yu's last guess of the time was correct.

----

On Friday morning, Zuo Yu heard the alarm clock sound which he hadn't heard for a long time.

It seems that the exchanges in the past few days have made his biological species quite messed up. Originally, he was sure to wake up before the alarm clock rang.

Is this a side effect of the body swap? Zuo Yu turned off the alarm.

It was 5:15. How long had it been since I'd gotten up at this time? At Yukinoshita Yukino's place, she'd sleep until 7, then wake up naturally. Back here, I had to get up at 5.

Zuo Yu lay paralyzed on his bed for the first time in a long time, not wanting to get up. The thought of going to the morning reading at five o'clock made him feel uncomfortable.

It seemed like the exchange had some benefits for me. In Yukinoshita Yukino's world, I felt like I was on vacation. No, it could be called a break.

My prison escape journey is temporarily over, and it's time to go back to jail.

Just as Zuo Yu was lying in bed with his mind wandering, Morgana climbed onto the bed again.

Zuo Yu looked at the black Morgana and spoke to it. Although they couldn't communicate directly, Morgana could understand him, but they couldn't talk directly.

"If I had named you chocolate, would you have turned into a cat girl?"

"Meow~"

Morgana's voice was full of doubt, Master.

"If you think I'm really lonely being alone, just turn into a cat girl for me. I still prefer cat girls to the girls in romance dramas." Zuo Yu joked to Morgana who was next to his thigh.

"Meow~"

Morgana seemed to understand his master's intention and placed his sharp claws on a bulge, meowing. It seemed to be confirming with Zuo Yu, "Do you really want to do this?"

"You have to change first, then do it, understand?"

"Meow?"

Morgana seemed to be saying that it couldn't change and could only stay in this form.

"Forget it then. Take your claws back."

Morgana curiously placed it on the surface, feeling the temperature, and was reluctant to let go, or rather, to put down his paw.

"You bastard, that's not a cat toy. If you want to play with it, go play with the cat toy Yukinoshita bought you."

Morgana heard Zuo Yu's slightly scolding tone and aggrievedly moved his paw away from that spot. He ran to play with the things Yukinoshita Yukino bought yesterday.

"It's a pity that such a special cat can't turn into a cat girl." Zuo Yu packed himself up with some regret. The trouble was done, and he still had to go to school.

"I'm going out. Take good care of the house." Zuo Yu said as he touched Morgana's head before leaving. Morgana nodded and rubbed his head on Zuo Yu's hand for a while.

What a clingy cat. It would be even better if he was a cat girl.

Zuo Yu was walking on the way to school, thinking about why Morgana couldn't change, but he could never get an answer.

"Good morning, Master." Zuo Yu happened to meet Li Shu downstairs who had just come down from upstairs.

"Morning. Didn't you make breakfast today?"

"No, I just bought some buns outside to fill my stomach today. I have an exam this weekend, so I'll go to class early to memorize the lessons and prepare for the exam."

"Let's go together then."

"Ah."

Li Shu nodded and walked side by side with Zuo Yu on the way to school. Of course, they stopped by the bun shop on the way.

It seems like I haven't eaten this bun for four days. Although my body eats it every day, the person inside my body is Yukinoshita Yukino. Zuo Yu ate the buns he just bought and sighed about this.

It was clearly my body that ate it, but my consciousness didn't feel it. To ordinary people, this was the fifth time this week, but in fact, it was only the first time.

The two of them walked into the classroom almost together. There were already quite a few people in the classroom.

Some were writing their test papers, some were standing outside the corridor reciting their lessons, and some were on duty, writing today's class schedule on the blackboard.

The familiar scene made Zuo Yu feel comfortable and at ease. It was more comfortable here, with someone to talk to him. Back there, using Yukinoshita Yukino's body, he could barely say a few words the whole day.

Although Zuo Yu did a lot of things in the club, he still acted like Yukinoshita Yukino in class. He was basically glued to his chair with a serious expression, sitting there all day long.

Not many people were willing to walk past Yukinoshita's seat. The quickest way out of the classroom for those at the front desk was to walk past Yukinoshita's seat and use the back door. But he would rather go through the front door, even taking a longer detour, than walk past Yukinoshita.

I hope that what I left behind can change Yukinoshita Yukino. After all, her originally unchanging interpersonal relationships have been messed up by me.

After a while, Fang Xuan also came with Yan Meng. He walked to his seat and looked behind him to see if it was Zuo Yu.

"What's wrong? Have I changed?"

It’s confirmed that Zuo Yu is back.

"Yes, for example, the dark circles under your eyes are a bit heavier. Did you review last night to keep your top spot in the grade?"

"Sorry, I don't need to review for a monthly exam yet."

"Pride comes before a fall. You definitely won't be first this time." Fang Xuan sat down, turned around and chatted quietly with Zuo Yu, "I will be first this time."

"You should defeat the squad leader first. You can't even defeat the squad leader, and you still want to challenge me."

"I can't talk anymore. I'm going to prepare for the exam. You can just wait to lose first place this time."

After playing around, Fang Xuan had to go back and prepare for the exam.

Seeing that everyone in the class was busy preparing for the exam, Zuo Yu remembered a question he had once asked Ji Zanyue.

Of the two, which one is more painful: not bringing an umbrella when it rains or bringing an umbrella but it doesn't rain?

Now Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino were caught in another version of the same problem: preparing for the exam but not taking it, and taking the exam but not preparing. Compared to these two things, the latter was more painful.

Zuo Yu’s answer is the same as the question about rain. It is painful to prepare for the exam but not take the exam.

The time of preparing for the exam is a long process, while the time of taking the exam is a very short process.

As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long pain, so taking an exam without preparing for it is just a short pain, and the pain of preparing for the exam is worth it.

You are clearly well prepared, but you are told the day before the exam that it is cancelled.

I was happy the moment I heard the news, but then I started to feel like I had lost out.

I don’t know what Yukinoshita Yukino is thinking in this situation now. Zuo Yu thought so as he looked at Yukinoshita Yukino’s carefully prepared notes and the notebook of wrong answers.

Yukinoshita Yukino has prepared so much for this exam, but now all of this has been prepared by me.

Zuo Yu picked up the notes prepared by Yukinoshita Yukino and read them carefully.
