Faced with Mai Sakurajima's request to transfer schools, her manager found it strange—why transfer when everything was fine? But after Mai Sakurajima insisted again and again, the manager said he would report it to the company and see what arrangements they would make.
Generally speaking, though, the company would agree.
With Mai Sakurajima's current popularity and traffic, the company would agree.
Although Mai Sakurajima's earlier unilateral actions had brought the company an extremely high PR crisis, at one point making the company's upper management think that Mai Sakurajima's entertainment career was finished—
a female celebrity accepting a confession and dating a boyfriend was practically digging her own grave, severing the future of her own performing career—at the press conference Mai Sakurajima held of her own initiative, she sincerely and truthfully informed everyone about herself and her boyfriend.
Moving people with sincerity, informing them with genuine intent, she won the understanding of many fans.
And now, Mai Sakurajima had instead gained the affection of even more people. After a brief dip, her popularity and traffic climbed to an even higher level.
Because she was special, because she was rare, she received even more attention.
In particular, the growth in the number of searches on search websites demonstrated the changing, growing popularity and heat surrounding Mai Sakurajima.
The company's upper management all obediently shut their mouths, and instead came to see this as Mai Sakurajima's wit and brilliance—turning danger into safety, turning a crisis into an opportunity, with only greater profits to come.
The manager, too, marveled at Mai Sakurajima's charm.
One could only say that, although fans had a sense of possessiveness, this possessiveness was not absolute. Faced with the fact that Mai Sakurajima was dating a boyfriend, the collective boycott was actually not as intense as one might have imagined.
'Beep…'
The phone hung up.
Mai Sakurajima ended the call. "Now all that's left is to wait for the company's arrangements and smoothly transfer to Sobu High."
Sobu High was a key high school in Chiba, but she believed Sobu High would not refuse her transfer application.
No matter what, with a big star like Mai Sakurajima transferring to Sobu High, there was no reason the chairman would refuse such an enormous opportunity to expand Sobu High's renown.
"Lin-kun, you… had better save some energy for me this weekend!"
She was now worried that the little snow cat, Yukino Yukinoshita, would frantically drain him dry, trying to use such a method to obstruct the weekend date between Lin Ye and her.
Tonight, she was destined to be sleepless. The lucky thing was that tomorrow was a day off, so she needn't worry about insomnia affecting her work condition.
On the other side—
After the call with Mai Sakurajima ended, the bedroom fell into silence.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't move, leaning back against him without a word. She said nothing, but her cold, clear aura was already silently telling of something.
Lin Ye knew this was Yukino waiting for him to take the initiative to speak up and explain. As for what to say, that was simple—naturally it was the matter of having agreed to the invitation this weekend.
"Yukino, next weekend, I'll make it up to you properly."
She shifted her gaze slightly, still saying nothing, yet it seemed she had said everything.
You owe me compensation?
Yes, she didn't need Lin Ye's compensation at all. What she wanted was for Lin Ye not to agree to Mai Sakurajima's invitation this weekend.
"You know what I mean,"
"If you don't say it, I don't know."
This jerk—he clearly knew, yet deliberately pretended not to.
Yukino Yukinoshita grew a little angry, too.
She stopped speaking.
"I really don't know. If you don't say it, Yukino, how would I know?"
"Lin Ye, I'll get angry if you play dumb too,"
she said bluntly.
"Fine, fine, I know, but I can't agree to your request, truly, Yukino. I've already agreed to Mai's invitation,"
"You should have refused at the time, or at least asked my opinion,"
Right—if he had sought out her thoughts and feelings at the time, Yukino Yukinoshita felt she would have agreed. Mm, she definitely would have agreed.
"If I had asked you, Yukino, would you have agreed?"
"Of course."
She answered as if it were only natural, but Lin Ye really didn't believe it.
Given the tit-for-tat clashes between Yukino and Mai that came afterward, for Yukino to agree was simply impossible. It was only because the matter was already settled now that she spoke this way.
"You don't believe me?"
"I believe you, of course I believe you, how could I not believe you,"
Lin Ye immediately denied it. Some things could be thought, but truly could not be said.
Once said, although the girl wouldn't go so far as to part from him, she would certainly get angry, and Lin Ye tried his best to avoid such a situation arising.
"You definitely don't believe me,"
Yukino huffed, very displeased with this reaction of Lin Ye's. This guy's mind was surely set on Mai Sakurajima.
"The weekend—you're really looking forward to it, aren't you!"
If it were her, she'd be a little excited too. Mai Sakurajima, after all!
The most famous female superstar in all of Japan.
This weekend he could spend a world-of-just-two with Mai Sakurajima—what man wouldn't be happy? Wouldn't be pleased? Even just having a meal would be enough to be happy, let alone that Lin Ye and Mai Sakurajima would surely do some things only adults could do.
Yet she and Lin Ye still hadn't broken through that final layer.
She was actually willing, but Lin Ye, because of the condition she had raised, chose not to.
So she was stuck, and could only silently accept this current situation.
And because of Lin Ye's recent craving for intimacy, she knew all the more about Lin Ye's needs in this regard. This weekend, going to Tokyo to find Mai Sakurajima, he would probably end up waging three hundred rounds of battle—
Her own boyfriend and fiancé was about to be fiercely drained by another woman.
Just thinking about it was unbearable.
The moment Yukino Yukinoshita thought of it, her whole body felt miserable.
"It's, it's not a big deal, just strolling around with Mai, playing some interesting activities,"
"Mm, interesting activities—adult activities,"
"Yukino, you're lewd,"
"Heh heh, you're one to talk?"
Lin Ye was the least qualified to talk. "Who was it before that promised one minute, and then ended up kissing for how long?"
Lin Ye was embarrassed.
"It's still your fault, Yukino—who told you to be so charming and alluring, who told you to give me the chance."
"Hmph, men,"
After saying this, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the change in Lin Ye's gaze—there was an added trace of burning craving. She had already seen it more than once.
This jerk—just how strong was his desire?
She had no intention of going along with it.
"Sleep,"
Yukino decided to sleep. She reached out wanting to turn off the lamp, but in the next moment was caught by Lin Ye and pressed down onto the bed.
"Lin Ye, I do not agree,"
Yukino made her stance clear on the surface first. She was very resolute.
"Yukino, do you have the heart to refuse?"
"I most certainly do. I won't allow you to force yourself on me. If you force yourself, I'll get angry,"
Her attitude was firm.
Lin Ye's stirred-up expression turned into regret.
This scene made Yukino's heart soften a little, but she knew that now was not the time to go soft. If she softened and gave in, from now on Lin Ye would only push his luck further. This time, no matter what, she had to hold firm.
Yes.
Yukino Yukinoshita made up her mind to absolutely not agree.
'Click…'
The lamp went off.
The night was silent, the room bathed in a faint glow from outside the window.
This was not the first time Yukino Yukinoshita and Lin Ye had slept in the same room, in the same bed.
The two could be said to have done everything they should and shouldn't, except for that final step.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yukino glanced at the man beside her. Aside from one arm wrapped around her, he made no further movements.
She felt both reassured and just a little bit disappointed. Asking herself honestly, it seemed she hoped Lin Ye would do a bit more.
But she had accepted the current situation as well.
Who could have imagined that in less than two months, the relationship between her and Lin Ye had undergone an earth-shaking change?
Now they were even lying in the same bed, with only undergarments on—or even without undergarments—and as for other behaviors, that went without saying.
In this life, it seemed she truly could no longer choose any man other than Lin Ye.
Yukino closed her eyes to rest.
Soon, the room fell into tranquility, leaving only faint breathing and heartbeats.
The next day.
The first ray of morning sunlight shone inside.
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes. He had slept fairly well last night. Propping himself up with one hand, he realized something was off.
This was not his body. This soft, supple sensation—it definitely belonged to a woman.
"Body Swap again. Who is it this time?"
Lin Ye immediately groped around and found a phone. Looking at himself in the phone's mirror surface, he confirmed the appearance of the person reflected in it.
Haruno.
Haruno Yukinoshita again.
This made him let out a breath of relief, while also feeling a little stifled.
"Why did we swap again? Could it be that every time I sleep, I get swapped—swapped with Haruno?"
As he said this, Lin Ye stood up, and looking down he saw the ample part—heavy and weighty, soft and supple.
It wasn't as if he hadn't seen it before, nor as if he hadn't touched it before, but the feeling was still just a little bit strange.
"Haruno's figure really is better than Yukino's,"
Marveling once more, Lin Ye put on clothes and walked out of the room. He was worried that after Haruno woke up and found she had taken over his body, she would once again start taking advantage of Yukino.
That woman really might do something like that.
After all, it wasn't the first time she'd done so.
Lin Ye came to Yukino's bedroom and softly opened the door.
The scene inside the bedroom came into view.
The girl on the bed instantly trembled, instinctively curling up. "Sister, barging in without permission is very impolite,"
she complained.
No matter what, having her intimate behavior with her boyfriend caught and seen by her sister was something she could not accept—even though her sister had already seen it several times.
"Yukino, it's me,"
The familiar tone.
Yukino thought of something and slowly looked at the man beside her. "You…"
"Cough cough cough, who told Yukino to be so cute, that adorable sleeping face—I really couldn't help myself."
Haruno gave an awkward smile.
Yukino's expression instantly changed. "Sister, you jerk,"
"There's, there's nothing I could do! Who told Lin-kun's body to be so energetic first thing in the morning! I had no choice but to take a little advantage of Yukino. Besides, it's not the first time I've taken advantage of you, Yukino, and yesterday morning, we even…"
"Shut up, don't say any more,"
Yukino was furious.
Ten minutes later.
The two of them got dressed and came to the bedroom.
Lin Ye, meanwhile, had bought sandwiches and fresh milk for breakfast from the convenience store outside.
The three of them ate casually in the dining room.
"Lin-kun, what are your plans today? Will you take another day off, or will you use my body to go to class?"
Haruno looked at Lin Ye and said with a smile, "Chiba University has quite a few cute girls too. You can use my body to get close to them, to take advantage of them! I'm quite popular at school, you know."
Intimate behavior between girls, in public, as long as it wasn't that kind of behavior, was generally accepted.
One could say that if Lin Ye wanted to casually make advances, using Haruno's body would be all too convenient.
What's more, Haruno was very popular at Chiba University, and in private there really were quite a few girls infatuated with Haruno.
"Sister, don't come up with such rotten ideas. Lin-kun isn't that kind of person,"
She believed in Lin Ye, but couldn't help worrying that Lin Ye might be tempted. The two contradictory thoughts intertwined, making her a little miserable.
"Hahaha,"
Haruno laughed, watching to see what Lin Ye would decide.
Lin Ye figured that, given the situation these past two days, tomorrow would probably be the same. Continuously skipping class wasn't appropriate either.
"Let's each go to our own school."
With Yukino following at Haruno's side, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Moreover, according to yesterday's situation, the body swap would generally end after an hour or two, and then they could each return to their own bodies. So there was no need to deliberately request another day off.
"Hahaha, alright, going back to attend class at Sobu High once more—that's rather interesting, hahaha."
Haruno was quite looking forward to it.
Yukino's thought was simple: keep her sister in check.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them finished tidying up and went downstairs, leaving the apartment building.
The two parties said their goodbyes.
Lin Ye, based on the information Haruno provided, headed to Chiba University.
Going to Chiba University in a woman's body, he still felt a little strange.
"Consider it a novel experience. It's not so bad."
Saying this,
he boarded the train.
Yukino and Haruno, meanwhile, headed to Sobu High.
Wearing their uniforms, the two walked shoulder to shoulder.
Along the way,
Haruno gazed into the distance, admiring the youthful, pretty high school girls.
"Not bad, not bad. This year's crop is good quality."
"Much better quality than my year,"
Such words, with the air of a lecher, gave Yukino Yukinoshita a tremendous headache.
She knew this was her sister deliberately saying it for her to hear, but hearing it still made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Sister, mind your image,"
"Call me Lin-kun. It wouldn't be good if it got exposed,"
Helplessly, Yukino could only switch her form of address. She now hoped the two of them could swap back sooner—she truly wished this situation would end soon.
The moment she thought of how the one who shared her pillow woke up and was taken over by her sister—and her sister taking advantage at that—she felt a wave of discomfort.
Tonight, she absolutely would not sleep together with Lin Ye, in order to avoid this situation from arising once more.
She would wait until whenever Lin Ye put an end to this abnormal condition before agreeing to his request to spend the night together.
So thought Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Senpai,"
A call rang out.
'Thud thud thud…' the sound of footsteps came continuously.
A cute girl burst into the two's field of vision, coming to stand before them.
It was Isshiki Iroha.
Today she was as full of energy as ever.
"And Yukinoshita-senpai, good morning!"
She greeted them warmly.
"Good morning, Student Isshiki…"
Haruno watched with a smile, certain thoughts surfacing in her mind.
