Chapter 11: A Unique Bond of Swapped Bodies

“All right, you can open your eyes now. You put on your own shoes!” Xiao Yu handed him a pair of canvas shoes.

Though pairing a business suit with canvas shoes seemed odd, there was no time to care about that.

Lu Xing opened his eyes, took the shoes, and sat on the shoe-changing bench, bending down to put them on.

Xiao Yu clearly saw the flattened shape where “her” figure was compressed, but she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

What had happened earlier when changing the bra had been far more embarrassing; this scene was nothing in comparison.

He must have felt her figure too; his indifferent expression was probably just deliberate ignorance.

After putting on the shoes, Lu Xing walked to the mirror and saw a wealthy and elegant businesswoman reflected back.

Her proud and confident aura, exquisite features, a height over 1.75 meters, and the air of affluence she exuded made her all the more radiant and graceful.

“Truly beautiful!” Lu Xing generously complimented her.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly beside him. “Thank you, you’re handsome too.”

It was a polite remark, but after looking at the “herself” in the mirror, Xiao Yu noticed that Lu Xing’s appearance was indeed not bad—half a head taller than her, slender yet powerful build, well-defined arm muscles. She vaguely recalled that when she was shirtless this morning, her abdomen had some muscle definition…

“Why thank me? I said I’m the beautiful one!” Lu Xing turned his head from side to side in front of the mirror. Perhaps because they shared the same screen, his sense of incongruity wasn’t as strong.

Xiao Yu snorted, heading outside. “Let’s go, I have some things to confirm with you.”

“What things?”

“About my work today.”

“I can cooperate, but I must clarify: I studied computer science. Other than fixing computers, I know nothing else!”

“Perfect, I have a computer that needs your repair skills.”

“Ah?”

“Pfft.”

Having scored a point back, Xiao Yu laughed aloud. She walked to the railing and called down to the two waiting in the living room downstairs, “Prepare the documents that President Xiao had you get ready yesterday. Bring them up later. Also, Secretary Sun, please notify the company that the patent lawsuit meeting scheduled for this afternoon is postponed until tomorrow. President Xiao won’t be going to the office today.”

The secretary and assistant looked puzzled until Lu Xing appeared and told them to get on with it, then they realized and set about their tasks.

“President Xiao isn’t coming to work today?”

“Could it be she’s spending the whole day at home with her… young boyfriend?”

The two whispered to each other. President Xiao was acting very strange today.

Upstairs.

Xiao Yu turned back to look at Lu Xing, hesitating to speak.

Lu Xing asked, “So, does that mean I have to stay here all day?”

“Where else would you go? You’re using my body now.”

“Forget it, just quickly arrange your work!” Lu Xing originally planned to find some part-time jobs during the National Day holiday, but the sudden body swap disrupted his plans, leaving him unable to earn money.

The second-floor living room soon fell into quiet.

Both scrolled the internet on their own phones—Lu Xing watched short videos, while Xiao Yu arranged work in the company group chat.

Lu Xing knew she didn’t want to know about his social circle, so he didn’t ask about her work either. When she needed to make calls, he followed her instructions, mentioning Director Li, Lawyer Zhang, close friends—he asked nothing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu’s handwriting was still her own, so Lu Xing didn’t have to sign anything.

At noon.

Xiao Yu, working in the study, felt hungry again and went out intending to treat Lu Xing to a good meal as compensation for cooperating with her work today.

But when she reached the living room, she saw Lu Xing lying in a rocking chair, one leg crossed over the other, shoes off, leisurely scrolling through short videos with a big smile.

Xiao Yu tried hard to stay calm and hypnotized herself: This shameless person isn’t me—it’s Lu Xing!

“Calling again?”

Lu Xing saw her.

Xiao Yu said calmly, “I’m hungry. Call the secretary and order some takeout.”

“Okay, what do you want?”

“Anything light.”

“Are you sure you want something light now?”

“…”

In the end, they each ordered what they liked. If the taste didn’t suit, they would swap.

During the meal, Xiao Yu asked, “Will we switch back this afternoon?”

“Probably.”

“I’ve thought it through carefully.”

Xiao Yu met Lu Xing’s gaze, then looked away slightly. “If we never swap again after this, then everything’s fine. It will be as if nothing ever happened.”

Lu Xing nodded and asked, “What if it happens again?”

Xiao Yu hesitated before answering, “Then my original life will be completely changed because of this!”

Lu Xing chuckled and said to her, “Don’t worry, if there’s a way to stop it, I’ll definitely cooperate with you to end the swaps.”

Xiao Yu smiled, “It’s not all bad.”

Perhaps sensing that sounded ambiguous, she added, “You can visit the future world and maybe bring back some technology beyond this era. If you plan to start a company, I can lend you some money.”

“Why not invest in me instead?” Lu Xing asked.

Xiao Yu just smiled without answering, then said, “You can write my phone number on that paper. When they cross over, they can call me for help. I’m curious about what other worlds are like.”

“Thanks, that will save me a lot of trouble!” Lu Xing laughed.

Xiao Yu lowered her head to eat. In this new body, she still preferred light-flavored food. Strangely, she could now also eat spicy and oily dishes.

“I had some other things to discuss with you, but it’s too soon. We’ll talk next time if we swap again,” Xiao Yu said as she ate.

Lu Xing guessed what she wanted to say but just nodded.

Afternoon.

Lu Xing, browsing a forum, closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them, he found himself at a desk piled with documents delivered by Secretary Sun.

“Lu Xing! We’re switched back!” Xiao Yu’s excited shout came from the living room. Lu Xing quickly went out, nearly bumping into her.

“We’ve switched back!” Xiao Yu’s eyes shone with happiness.

Lu Xing smiled and nodded. Seeing himself from a third-person perspective for the first time—not really himself but Xiao Yu, a great beauty—gave him a new feeling compared to when he inhabited her body.

Xiao Yu was tall, with a well-proportioned figure and delicate features, bright clear eyes, and a unique aura—radiant and dignified, somewhat like the “peaceful and prosperous” face shape mentioned in short videos, with a matching temperament.

Also—

“Hmph! What are you looking at?” Xiao Yu protected her chest and glared fiercely, then turned to button up her shirt.

Lu Xing looked up at the ceiling and said innocently, “You can’t blame me. Your clothes were too tight. When you went to the bathroom, I loosened them a bit—don’t worry, I had my eyes closed!”

Yes, Xiao Yu, with her “peaceful and prosperous” face, actually had quite a large bust, comparable to that icy goddess.

As for who was bigger, Lu Xing never looked carefully, nor compared by hand—he was a gentleman.

“Enough!” Xiao Yu rubbed her temples. “Are you going back to school or staying at a nearby hotel? I’ll book a room for you.” She added, “I’m going home tonight, not staying here. If you want, you can stay in the guest room on the first floor.”

After spending the day together, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Lu Xing had become hard to define.

It was certainly neither romantic nor just friendship, but not strangers either. Still, Lu Xing could stay in her house since their connection was unusual.

What exactly that connection was… it could only be described as a body swap relationship, unique—different from the other three girls who came from other worlds, whose feelings were not quite the same.

“Why stay at a hotel? I checked, there’s a subway station not far downstairs. I’ll head back first.”

Like Xiao Yu, Lu Xing didn’t want to stay a second longer. After being trapped all day here, even the most luxurious mansion became tiresome!

“Should I have the assistant send you back?”

“No need!”

Lu Xing waved his hand behind him and quickly left the multi-hundred-million-yuan mansion of the wealthy and beautiful lady.

It had to be said—being back in his own body was wonderful. No heavy chest, no light feet, no big hips—he walked with vigor and strength!

Watching his retreating figure, Xiao Yu somehow naturally replaced the image of “herself” she had seen today with Lu Xing himself.

With Lu Xing, those actions—lying in the rocking chair scrolling through the phone, sitting with legs apart, walking and eating—suddenly made a lot more sense.

Night.

Back at home with her parents, Xiao Yu received a call.

“Lu Xing?”

“It’s me.”

“What’s up?”

“I have bad news and good news.”

Although he teased her, Xiao Yu immediately guessed what he wanted to say. The anxiety that had hung over her all day finally settled—or rather, completely died.

Her life from now on was about to be thoroughly changed!
