“Huuhh…”

“Where is this…?”

“Meow?”

Lin Beixing struggled to open her eyes.

Just moments ago, after a whole night of intense studying, her body had finally touched the bed.
When she closed her eyes, planning to use the mere ten minutes before she had to get up to rest a little, a sudden and unprecedented lightness washed over her body.

The feeling was almost… liberating.

Lin Beixing even wondered if she might be dying.

But when she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a ceiling densely covered with spiderwebs—

—and a little black cat that had padded over, seemingly concerned about her situation.

This place… was Lu Yu’s room?

She raised her hands. A pair of strong, well-built arms came into view, the veins on the backs of the hands clearly visible.

Her body… had switched again?

“…”

Lin Beixing suddenly let out a small laugh.

It was a laugh of relief.

Gone were the panic and anxiety of the first body swap; this time, she even felt a bit of guilty delight.

This kind of supernatural phenomenon had already happened to her twice.
Still without any pattern, clue, or explanation—but Lin Beixing was starting to learn to accept it.

Maybe, just like Lu Yu said, if there’s no solution, the best thing you can do is accept it.

She looked at the little black cat beside her, its bright eyes watching her. Lin Beixing reached out and stroked its fluffy head.

“Hello again, little one~~”

“Meow.”

The cat only rubbed her palm politely before hopping off the bed. After a lazy stretch, it went to eat its kibble.

Lin Beixing watched its pitch-black figure and let out a quiet laugh.

If she had known body-swapping would happen again, she would’ve asked Lu Yu what this cat’s name was.

Next time, she definitely had to ask.

“I wonder what’s happening on Lu Yu’s side right now…”

Thinking of the strict tutor who was supposed to come this morning, Lin Beixing felt a headache forming.

“He’s definitely going to blow his cover…” she murmured.

“Right—message him!”

She sat up. Lu Yu’s bed was almost completely firm, with practically no softness at all. Hard and uncomfortable.

There was no bedside table, so Lin Beixing reached around under the pillow for a long while before finding Lu Yu’s phone.

Face recognition.
With Lu Yu’s face, it unlocked easily.

She opened the phone, hurriedly found the chat app, and pulled up the conversation with herself.

Unlike last time—when she’d been flustered and clueless—Lin Beixing was calm and logical now.

In this narrow rental room, with sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains onto her palm, she even felt a strange sense of peace.

As she typed, she realized that a man’s fingers were bigger—on a 26-key keyboard, she kept hitting the wrong buttons.

Already terrible at typing, she needed forever to get out even one message.

Yu: Just keep your head down and pretend to study. If you look focused, the tutor won’t bother you. Avoid writing and doing problems as much as possible. If anything comes up, call me from the bathroom…

Lin Beixing sent the message from Lu Yu’s phone to herself.

She had no idea whether Lu Yu would see it.

And she didn’t dare call him.

If he happened to be having breakfast, her mom would definitely hear a male voice through her phone…

The consequences of that—Lin Beixing didn’t even want to imagine.

“Whew… that’s all I can do for now…”

She stretched and stood up.

Lu Yu’s body felt heavy. Lin Beixing strongly suspected he’d pulled an all-nighter just like she did.

As for what he’d stayed up doing…

Her eyes drifted to the desk piled with empty cola bottles.

No need to guess—he had definitely been gaming all night.

“Seriously… at a time like this?”

Lin Beixing sighed.

But there was nothing she could do to motivate him.
Even if she used his body to study for him, none of the knowledge would end up in his brain.

She decided to shower before going back to sleep.

Lu Yu had obviously crashed without showering after staying up.
And with the useless old electric fan in his room, he was sticky and sweaty—Lin Beixing hated the feeling.

She took a towel from the hanger and went into the bathroom. After taking off the shirt and shorts—

Her gaze slid down from the “abs” to the black boxer briefs below.

She froze.

Her hand hadn’t even turned the shower knob before she burst out of the bathroom.

“AAAHHHHH!!!”

Shower?
No way!!!

She was in a man’s body right now!

She had no idea where to even start!!

————————

Meanwhile—

When Lu Yu stepped out of Lin Beixing’s bedroom, he clearly heard her rabbit-cased phone buzz on the nightstand.

He had already opened the door halfway, but froze and turned back toward the bed.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin’s mother stood outside the door, assessing him with sharp eyes.

Lu Yu shook his head. “Nothing… let’s go, Mom.”

The notification was most likely from Lin Beixing.

But he had no chance to turn back and check.

He could only brace himself and continue.

“Wait.”

Lin’s mother suddenly stopped him with an outstretched hand.

Lu Yu looked at her, confused.

“Go to the dressing room and change your clothes.”

Her voice was calm.
Then her gaze dropped to the cute rabbit pajamas he was wearing.

Only then did Lu Yu realize he wasn’t in normal clothes.

But—

Change clothes?!

If Lin Beixing ever found out, she’d probably beat him to death.

“Hurry.”

Lin’s mother gently patted “her daughter’s” back, urging him forward.

Lu Yu was stunned.

He had absolutely no idea how girls chose outfits.

And then… there was that thing…
B… bra.

He didn’t know how to put one on!

Under Lin’s mother’s watchful gaze, Lu Yu gulped nervously.

The dressing room was in a side room of Lin Beixing’s bedroom—an entire area of wardrobes. Opening the doors revealed rows of coordinated outfits, neatly arranged.

Lin’s mother waited outside.

Lu Yu quietly slid the door shut and picked something he thought he could manage.

Given the “period” lie he’d used earlier, he chose long pants and a clean white T-shirt.

Then he looked at the drawer full of bras—white, pink, striped, lace.

Expression calm, he picked the plain white one.

Standing with his back to the mirror, he closed his eyes and began fumbling blindly.

He’d never done it before, but it couldn’t be that hard, right?
Just… put everything in, and then fasten the hooks in the back…

Yeah… they were definitely soft.

His fingertips were cool, and whenever they pressed down, the soft flesh caved in easily.

Lu Yu’s cheeks burned hot.

He took so long that Lin’s mother was getting impatient outside.

Finally, with his face still warm, Lu Yu came out, grabbed Lin Beixing’s phone from the bedside, and headed out of the room with Lin’s mother.
