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

But now I have to come out and chat with Yukinoshita Yukino.

If I hadn't seen how Yukinoshita Yukino was waiting for me, I wouldn't have let her do that.

After all, in Zuo Yu's mind, he would only watch the moon with his family during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The autumn weather was exceptionally crisp. It was already midnight, with a bright moon hanging in the sky, dotted with dim stars. Almost no lights were on outside. It was Mid-Autumn Festival, not New Year's Eve, so there were no night watchers.

However, there were still a few houses with lights on. I don’t know if they forgot to turn them off, or if they were just bored like Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Yukino, so they came out in the middle of the night to look at the moon.

"Why didn't you bring any wine?"

Zuo Yu was very contemptuous of Yukinoshita Yukino's behavior of coming out to watch the moon without bringing any wine. She came out to watch the moon, so why didn't she bring any wine?

Wine and the moon have always been a wonderful pair. Drinking and appreciating the moon is always a wonderful thing.

It's just a pity...

Yukinoshita Yukino could not understand this kind of mood.

"I can't drink, so I won't bring any."

Yukinoshita Yukino sternly rejected Zuo Yu's request to drink. Just when she was cleaning up the leftovers and putting them in the refrigerator, Zuo Yu saw the wine in the refrigerator, so he shouted that he had to drink to appreciate the moon.

"But my body can drink alcohol very well. Think about it... Although you can't drink alcohol, you can use my body to feel the beauty of wine..."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately interrupted Zuo Yu. She knew that if Zuo Yu continued, he would probably continue talking about the benefits of alcohol, and he would still use her voice to talk about the benefits of alcohol. It felt like she was an alcoholic. "Stop, your body is under my control now. I don't want to experience the beauty of alcohol, so I won't take it."

"I raise my glass to the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three. What a pity! Such a beautiful thing, but you don't understand. You're such an unromantic woman." Seeing that this was a different approach, Zuo Yu changed his mind and took a different direction, beginning to patiently coax Yukinoshita Yukino. "And, did you know? It's actually easier for the human body to fall asleep when slightly tipsy. In other words, we can use that state to put you to sleep."

Yukinoshita Yukino was very upset that Zuo Yu wanted to drink so much. She didn't know why Zuo Yu was so obsessed with alcohol. When she thought of her father's drunken appearance, she felt that her father looked quite miserable. He couldn't speak clearly but still insisted that he could still drink, and then started vomiting when he got home. She didn't know what the charm of alcohol was.

"Impossible! Even if you say something frivolous today, I won't drink."

"Don't be fooled, then forget it."

Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino no longer wanted to talk about this topic, Zuo Yu stopped at the right time.

"...So, what's so good about wine...do you really want to drink it?"

"I'm just very happy today and wanted to celebrate, so I wanted to have a couple of drinks. As for why I'm so happy today... Thank you, Yukino. You prepared a rich dinner for me and even came out to watch the moon after eating so much. It's been a long time since I've watched the moon so happily with others during the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

"Then weren't you happy during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past few years?" Yukinoshita Yukino only asked about how Zuo Yu spent the Mid-Autumn Festival before his parents passed away. She had initially considered Zuo Yu's feelings and didn't ask about the Mid-Autumn Festival after his parents passed away. Since he was so happy now, it was okay to ask about his life after his parents passed away.

"It's okay. I'm going back to my hometown to spend time with my grandparents. I'm just not particularly happy. Everyone is thinking about my parents' passing and is concerned about my feelings. They don't dare to mention anything about them in front of me... Actually, I really don't care about it that much anymore. The dead are gone, and we who are still alive shouldn't live in the shadow of the dead. It's just that my grandparents obviously don't fully understand my feelings, and they still don't dare to mention anything about my parents' life."

"Only you... Yukino, only you would directly ask me how I celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival before my parents passed away. You even dared to imitate the food I loved to eat during Mid-Autumn Festival. Others would avoid me out of fear of hurting me, but I love to eat what I love. I won't hate it just because I eat too much, but I won't suddenly hate it because of someone's death."

There was a hint of sadness in Zuo Yu's words, after all, he was talking about the departure of his loved ones, but he was mostly cheerful.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that although it was night, Zuo Yu was still in the light.

"Life goes on forever, and the moon over the river looks the same year after year."

"This is the answer to the ancient poem I wrote down from memory when I was taking the test just now."

Yukinoshita Yukino was savoring the poem that Zuo Yu suddenly said. She still remembered that this poem was the answer to an ancient poem she had memorized on the Chinese test paper when she was waiting for Zuo Yu to kill time.

This line of poetry means that life is endless from generation to generation, only the moon over the river remains the same year after year. It is a line that laments the cycle of the universe and the changes of the human world.

"Yes, it comes from that explosively long poem."

"Others have a name for it, it's called 'Spring River Moon Night'."

"We usually describe a poem as being extremely long. Who knew a poem could be so long, and every line could be tested? Even though I kind of hate this poem, I really like this line."

"Are you marveling at the vastness of the universe?"

"That's about right. I'm curious about one thing: why would two tiny individuals like us swap bodies in such a vast universe?"

"Isn't it about helping each other? You helped me solve something I'm not good at, so I should help you solve your problems... Oh, is there anything you're not good at? Something I can help you with."

You have already done it, but you have not yet admitted it in your heart.

Zuo Yu smiled. In fact, Morgana's intention was very simple, which was to find something he had always wanted.

The moon this year is no different from the moon Zuo Yu enjoyed with his parents three years ago, except for the people around him.

Zuo Yu has always known what he wants, and that is his closest relatives.

Although the parents have passed away, the column for wife has always been vacant.

Therefore, Morgana's behavior was just to find another marriage for Zuo Yu.

"Speaking of which, Yukino, do you have any famous quotes about the moon? It's like here we have endless quotes about the moon, like 'People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, just as the moon waxes and wanes.' What do you have over there?"

The most famous sentence describing the moon is probably the one that says: "The moonlight is so beautiful."

What's wrong with this guy? Yukinoshita Yukino realized that Zuo Yu was trying to induce her to say that, but she was a little confused about what Zuo Yu was thinking. It seemed that Zuo Yu had been talking about this since he came back from her place.

It's like a metaphor between a wife and her husband, explaining why she has to wait for him to come back before eating, and now he is inducing her to say, "The moonlight is so beautiful."

Could it be that he...

Was he trying to get back at me because he hadn't come back early and laughed at the dinner he had worked so hard to prepare?

Once they take the bait, they start saying things like, "Don't get too deep," and they still say it in their own voice.

"There's no famous and appropriate sentence."

"Of course it does. I've always heard it... The moonlight is so beautiful, simple and pristine. Doesn't this count?"

"But don't you have a saying here, 'The moon is fullest on the 16th.' So that saying isn't appropriate."

Yukinoshita Yukino was secretly delighted. Zuo Yu told her that the moonlight was really beautiful. Was it considered a confession of love to her?

"Ah. Does this mean my confession was rejected? Now it's true. 'Yukinoshita Yukino' confessed to 'Zuo Yu', and then 'Zuo Yu' rejected her very bluntly, saying it was inappropriate." Zuo Yu said in Yukinoshita Yukino's voice with some sadness, as if his confession was really rejected.

After hearing what Zuo Yu said, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly realized that the story Zuo Yu had told her sister seemed to have come true. Could this be his purpose?

She couldn't tell. She was a little confused about what Zuo Yu's purpose was.

Are you kidding yourself?

"Didn't it Yukinoshita Yukino who rejected Zuo Yu's confession? Did you mistakenly identify her?"

"That's fine." Zuo Yu said with a deeper meaning, "But, in this case, can I tell your sister, 'I don't like that boy anymore, I rejected his confession.'"

"...This isn't okay. You clearly said earlier that I like that boy very much..."

When Yukinoshita Yukino said, "I like that boy," with Zuo Yu's "hmm," Yukinoshita Yukino realized that she seemed to have been fooled again.

So this is what this guy is aiming for?

"You just said that you like that boy very much..." Zuo Yu deliberately prolonged the last syllable.

"It's 'Zuo Yu', not me."

Yukinoshita Yukino immediately cut off the conversation. The person who said that was not her. The person who said that was Zuo Yu, so it was Zuo Yu who said that.

"That's fine too... How are you? Do you feel like you can fall asleep now?"

"It still doesn't seem to work." Oh no, it seems that bickering with Zuo Yu has made me excited.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that if she fell asleep now, her health would no longer be a problem.

But the brain, which was particularly alert due to the quarrel with Zuo Yu just now, seemed to have become the biggest problem.

Her excited brain was thinking about one question, that is, why Zuo Yu tried so hard to make her say that she liked him.

She was a little confused about why Zuo Yu did this. Did he really want her to say that she liked him and then be rejected harshly by him?

Does he have some weird habit of rejecting girls' confessions?

Yukinoshita Yukino was puzzled. Maybe he already knew that she liked him, otherwise he wouldn't keep talking about it.

Yukinoshita Yukino knows one thing better than anyone else, she just doesn't dare to confess. Now the two of them are still in the period of body exchange. If her confession is rejected at this time, she doesn't know how to get along with Zuo Yu next.

And even if the confession is successful, what should we do if the two of us are not in the same universe?

In the vast universe, Zuo Yu and I are too small, and they should not be able to be together.

So in this case, it would be better to end this relationship naturally after the body swap is over.

At least without confessing her feelings, she could still communicate well with Zuo Yu and chat with him while looking at the moon.

And I still don't know what I should do with Zuo Yu. If I continue to be so confused, will this body exchange never end? What if I really find the problem that Zuo Yu needs my help with and solve it myself, then will this body exchange end?

So, just keep the beauty of the present.

Chapter 131 Your sister is so cute

"So what do you usually do when you can't sleep?"

Yukinoshita Yukino sat in front of Zuo Yu's computer. Her excited brain had not yet calmed down, causing her to still be unable to fall asleep and unable to end her body exchange with Zuo Yu today.

"It's easy. Just do two sets of tests. Maybe you'll want to sleep as soon as you see the questions."

"How is it possible that my brain wouldn't be more excited when doing a test? ... How is it possible that I would feel sleepy as soon as I started doing a test?"

"I forgot, you're a good kid. You won't feel sleepy while doing the test. Is there anything you find uninteresting when you see it? Will reading more boring things make you feel sleepy?"

"I don't think there's anything I'd get bored of seeing..." Yukinoshita Yukino was a little unsure. She didn't know what she'd get bored of seeing. "But this is your body, right? Wouldn't it be more useful to use something you find boring?"

"But you are the dominant consciousness. You can't sleep now, so we need to tire your consciousness so that you can fall asleep."

Zuo Yu glanced at Morgana, who didn't want to pay any attention to Yukinoshita Yukino. Normally, it would help Yukinoshita Yukino feel tired and it was time for petting. However, it seemed that Morgana was annoyed by Yukinoshita's disappointing behavior and chose to let Yukinoshita solve the problem herself.

What an unromantic cat! It's so interesting to see him saying one thing and thinking another.

Zuo Yu could understand Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts. She was just an ordinary high school girl who was a bit timid. It was normal for her to choose to retreat when faced with love. In addition, she didn't know that he could go to her side, so she still believed that it was impossible for them to meet.

But, will telling her now solve the problem?

Zuo Yu was also hesitant in his heart. Although he could get to Yukinoshita Yukino, he didn't know what price he would have to pay.

Moreover, he has so many concerns here. If he is really afraid of abandoning everything and goes to her immediately, Zuo Yu can hardly guarantee whether Xue Noi will feel guilty now.

As for her personality, she would feel guilty for the victims of the accident because she was sitting in the car that had been in the accident. Zuo Yu wondered how much guilt Xue No would feel if he could just let it go. Wouldn't she become someone who was completely dependent on him...

We still need to completely solve Yukinoshita Yukino's personality problem...

"...How about playing some games? I don't think I've ever touched those games you bought. I guess I'm not interested in them. Any game recommendations?"

Yukinoshita Yukino opened Zuo Yu's computer and talked to herself. The wallpaper on the computer was still the silver-haired man she set last time.

"...You're sure, the game is very attractive. You're not interested because you haven't played it before. Once you start playing, you'll be addicted."

Zuo Yu thought of a game that was very suitable for Yukinoshita Yukino to play now, and it could also achieve his goal.

"I don't believe games have such a big appeal. They're just jumping around and hitting things. What's so interesting about them?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who has never played games, made a bold statement that she would not be interested in games.

"Hmm~ I hope you remember what you said. Then I'll recommend a simple platform jumping game called 'Celeste'... Yeah, look for 'Celeste'."

Zuo Yu guided Yukinoshita Yukino to find the game in his game library.

Platform jumping games, the kind where you jump around...

That kind of game sounds boring and probably not very difficult.

Thinking this, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the game that Zuo Yu mentioned. The graphics were a bit simple. She opened it and started the game, and then saw Zuo Yu's save file.

That skull should represent the number of deaths. Why did Zuo Yu die so many times?

She saw that the number of deaths in Zuo Yu's file had exceeded four digits, and was five digits, which meant that Zuo Yu had died at least more than ten thousand times.

Could it be that Zuo Yu is the kind of person who is addicted to being a loser?

Yukinoshita Yukino is a little confused as to why someone could die so many times in a platform jumping game? It's just a simple game of jumping from one platform to another, so how did Zuo Yu die so many times?

"Yes, open a new file, don't overwrite my old file."

Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and clicked on the climb button. Well, the suffering was about to begin.

"Why are there so many jumps... Why are there thorns here... And why are the strawberries here so bad..."

Zuo Yu leisurely watched Yukinoshita Yukino's frantic heart while she was operating in Yukinoshita Yukino's consciousness, and he felt a little happy. He made you feel that I died a lot and that I was not good at playing.

How do you feel now?!

As we all know, when a person is stuck, they will get a little irritable. When someone points fingers at you behind your back, you will get even more irritable. Zuo Yu now exists in the form of consciousness, which means that Zuo Yu is saying things like "You are such a wimp" and "You can't even jump over this?" to Yukinoshita Yukino in her mind.
