Chapter 87

Aside from a few instances where their states became unbalanced—that is, needing to pee—and she had to return to her own room briefly, Chen Yuan spent her time in Shen Xiaoran's room, idly looking at various physical objects.

Why does a girl who's not even twelve years old have so many physical copies of xuanhuan and xianxia web novels...?

Why isn't there a definitive domestic campus romance light novel?

Oh, right, there aren't any physical copies sold.

Because she used a lot of chaozi today, and the energy expenditure was high, Chen Yuan didn't continue using her body for rehabilitation. She waited for Shen Xiaoran, or rather, the current "Chen Yuan," to get out of school.

I hope this guy didn't do anything bad with my body...

This kid is so scheming, I hope she didn't use my account to play galgames and build a harem at school?

It shouldn't be that bad.

As long as this kid isn't a lesbian, this kind of development shouldn't happen.

At this moment, her mom knocked on the door and came in, "Xiaoran, what are you doing?"

"..." Chen Yuan closed the textbook she was holding and turned around, smiling, "Studying."

"Want to take a break?"

"Um, Mom..." Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then said somewhat shyly, "Today, can I ask Chen Yuan... to tutor me in math?"

"Looking for Chen Yuan again?" Hearing this, her mom reminded her rather earnestly, "Didn't we say you can only see Chen Yuan once every two weeks? You can't disturb him."

Huh? There's a house rule like that?

No wonder Shen Xiaoran likes me so much and is able to avoid harassing me frequently, with such a sense of propriety.

So, someone at home is locking this kid down.

Good, good.

Good job, Mom.

"Just this once, okay?" Chen Yuan looked at Shen Xiaoran's mom with pleading eyes.

Is it so hard to see myself...

"Then tell me, is there a reason?"

"You mean about teaching me the problems..."

"You have to tell the truth."

Chen Yuan was stunned by these words. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, a little embarrassed, "If he can encourage me, my... my combat power tomorrow might double."

I'm definitely talking about the fair right now.

This account is so hard to play, you tea master!

"Okay, but only if the other party agrees."

"Of course, I definitely won't cause him any trouble," Chen Yuan said seriously, making a vow gesture.

Just like that, the matter was settled.

Then, finally, it was time to get out of school.

Because Chen Yuan reminded Shen Xiaoran to eat something before evening self-study, the "other party" didn't need to come to her house for dinner anymore.

"Then, Mom, you..."

When Shen Xiaoran, or rather, her body, stood in front of the wheelchair, this fool, who hadn't fully adapted, blurted out directly when she saw her mom.

Then, Chen Yuan, who was in the wheelchair, stared at her fiercely.

Are you talking about your mom?

No, wait, you're actually talking about your mom.

Shen Xiaoran's mom, who was called "Mom," blushed and said with a smile, "Little Chen, what's the matter? Go ahead."

She probably wanted to call Shen Xiaoran Mom, but accidentally said the wrong thing...

Haha, how could I have such a big son?

"Mom, go back first. I'll chat with Chen Yuan for a while and call you later," Chen Yuan said with a smile to her mom.

"Okay, thank you, Little Chen."

"It's nothing, Auntie. I'll make sure to protec..." Shen Xiaoran stopped midway, realizing that Chen Yuan wouldn't be so ingratiating, and quickly corrected herself, "I'll watch over her."

"Okay, bye-bye."

And with that, Mom left.

Then, the person sitting in the wheelchair, whose soul was Chen Yuan and body was Shen Xiaoran, and the person standing in front of her, whose soul was Shen Xiaoran and body was Chen Yuan, met for the first time after losing control of their bodies, and stared at each other for a long time.

"Looking at myself standing in front of me, this feeling is really amazing..."

"Yeah, I look so cute like this."

Shen Xiaoran squatted down, pressing her hands on her knees, gazing at herself in the wheelchair with a slightly sullen face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You... stop staring at me. I think you... I look like a pervert."

Chen Yuan was really speechless. She didn't expect that seeing herself from a first-person perspective would feel like this.

This face is definitely handsome.

It's just that this expression is a bit cringe-worthy.

It's like showing interest in a little girl.

Wait a minute, I've only studied physics for half a month!

"Small face, like a pigeon egg. Eyes are even more watery and bright. No matter which angle you look at, it's very endearing."

Shen Xiaoran rested her chin on her hand, seriously evaluating the her in the wheelchair.

"Say less, please. Being this narcissistic is really off-putting. Especially using my face. If someone sees it and reports it, my good name will be ruined," Chen Yuan didn't dare to imagine it.

"Oh."

Shen Xiaoran's expression darkened, and she stood up.

Then, she pushed Chen Yuan and walked around the neighborhood.

"Speaking of tomorrow's exam, what are you thinking?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.

Shen Xiaoran thought for a moment, then said casually, "If the bodies switch back after tomorrow, then let it be. If I can pass, I'll pass. If I can't, then forget it. Anyway, there's another chance after graduation."

"What if the exam results tomorrow are very bad?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"..."

Shen Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat stubbornly, "I'm a good student. I was a famous little clever girl in my hometown since elementary school. I've been cramming for half a month, and I'm only studying math. How could it be very bad?"

"What if there are questions from the second or third year of middle school?"

"..." Chen Yuan's words directly dumbfounded Shen Xiaoran, who asked in confusion, "How could there be questions from the second or third year? Isn't the scope of the exam the first year..."

"This body swap was caused by my ability going out of control. But for now, it's considered controllable."

Since it's come to this point, Chen Yuan stopped concealing it and said, "Then, today I saw that Uncle Wang and used a little of my ability to find out what he was thinking. Do you want to know?"

"...Tell me." Because the other party's expression was too serious, Shen Xiaoran opened her mouth somewhat fearfully.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "That is, in order to make your confidence suffer a setback, tomorrow's questions will be set to be particularly difficult and will even exceed the syllabus. That way, you definitely won't pass. And because you did particularly poorly on this exam, you won't go to the centralized entrance exam next time either. Then, it can be avoided that you pass the junior class exam legitimately."

I have to tell Shen Xiaoran the reason, so I can help her.

Otherwise, with this kid's stubbornness, or rather, her self-esteem, she will definitely go to the exam on her own.

And that is no different from participating in World War II empty-handed.

You're over here with: Wing Chun, tea.

The other party: I don't eat beef!

The difference in strength is too great.

However, after he finished speaking, the wheelchair suddenly stopped.

Chen Yuan didn't understand and turned around, only to see Shen Xiaoran standing in place, looking blank and helpless like a child.

This tall, handsome guy with deep features now looked particularly submissive, unable to see any masculinity, which made Chen Yuan couldn't help but complain, "Don't be so girly, cheer up..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xiaoran, using her body, blinked her eyes, and then a line of tears suddenly slid down her cheek from the blinking eye.

Clearly there was no quarrel, no crying, not even any foreshadowing of sadness, but the tears just slipped down in an instant.

Chen Yuan had never imagined that her face would make such an expression.

"Why..."

She stood there in astonishment, not knowing what annoying thing she had done to be treated like this. No matter how much she reflected, no matter how much she recalled, she couldn't think of the reason.

She looked at herself, wanting to know the answer.

Chen Yuan didn't know what to say.

Why?

Because human nature is inherently evil?

But why hurt a girl who is already so cautious, afraid of causing any more trouble to others?

She has never thought of bullying anyone.

"Xiaoran, am I so unlikable?"

Looking at Chen Yuan, Shen Xiaoran asked very uneasily.

"..." Chen Yuan turned her head back, then stood up.

Her legs were trembling slightly.

But they were no longer as heavy as they were in the morning.

Chen Yuan slowly turned around, walked to "Chen Yuan," and gently hugged "him," putting her hands on "his" waist, smiling gently and softly, "Hateful adults are like this, always deciding the world as they see fit. But it's okay, Little Shen, we love you."

"..."

Hearing these words, Shen Xiaoran burst into tears, hugging Chen Yuan in front of her, her grievances bursting like a dam: "It's too much, deceiving my dad like that, making them sad... If you can't, then don't give people hope."

This is Little Shen, when she's complaining in grievance, the first thing she thinks about is the family members she owes the most.

"Yeah, when facing this kind of idiot, you have to slap him hard in the face."

Chen Yuan continued to comfort the other party, but suddenly felt a gaze coming from somewhere.

So, she quickly distanced herself from this school uniform boy.

No way, I'm sending myself to the slammer!

Although I know very well that I, Chen Yuan, am a gentleman, the police don't say that.

What do the police say?

Policeman.

"Let's look at this matter dialectically."

Raising her head, looking at Shen Xiaoran, Chen Yuan comforted her, "Although he cheated in order to make things difficult for you. But you don't have to be so openly made difficult by him."

"You mean..."

"Let me be a substitute."

Chen Yuan said confidently.

"You mean, you're going to take the exam?" Shen Xiaoran asked in confusion.

"Yes," Chen Yuan replied, "I've roughly grasped the divine power of body swapping. Tomorrow's exam, I'll take it for you."

Shen Xiaoran said worriedly, "But, will you have forgotten the middle school knowledge..."

"Haha."

To this, Chen Yuan smiled dramatically and said the line that almost all strong people will say at some point: "Who do you think I am?"

"..."

Sword energy sweeps across thirty thousand miles, a sword's light chills nineteen provinces!

Standing in place, Shen Xiaoran was directly captivated by this line.

Looking at the domineering little girl in front of her, she said excitedly, "So cool, is that a line from something?"

"No, you only watch domestic web novels?"

"Yeah."

"You don't watch any Japanese anime? You don't know such a classic line?"

"I only know: Heaven did not give birth to me, Li **, the way of the sword is like a long night," Shen Xiaoran said.

"Isn't it: Heaven did not give birth to Master?"

"Oh, Li Zhi's poem," Shen Xiaoran realized and said.

"..."

What Li Zhi, isn't that a line from our Honor of Kings?

Chen Yuan academically lost to this little girl for the first time.

It seems that this guy is quite suitable for liberal arts.

In the future, she can replace Cheng Haiying and become our Eleventh High School's goddess of liberal arts.

But Cheng Haiying is not the goddess of liberal arts, just the best-looking of the liberal arts geniuses.

"In short, don't have any psychological burden."

Returning to the topic at hand, Chen Yuan looked gently at this very fragile person who had been hurt by society and said, "Your mom and dad have already owed favors, so it's normal for you to enter the school. After entering the school, study hard and then get into Eleventh High School. See the scenery that your senior has seen, walk the path that your senior has walked. And then, become the most proud junior of your senior."

Everyone can have their most glorious moment.

The little cripple is no exception.

"Thank you!"

Shen Xiaoran was so touched that she directly put her hands under Chen Yuan's armpits and lifted him up high.

"Hey, hey, the skirt!"

Chen Yuan quickly reminded this guy, whose mental age was relatively mature but still too childish when put into her body, to calm down.

But Shen Xiaoran couldn't seem to calm down.

Like admiring a small action figure, she stared at herself for a long time, then suddenly leaned closer to her face, "I suddenly feel like I'm so cute, it should be okay to kiss myself..."

Then, Chen Yuan reached out and blocked her, immediately saying no: "Don't do weird things with my face."

"But I'm kissing myself, can't I?"

"Go tell the police."

"Okay..."

Shen Xiaoran had no choice but to give up, then continued to hold up "herself." After this day's campus tour, she said sincerely with a smile, "Thank you, this is the best day of my life."

[In the future,]

[I won't be able to walk freely like this anymore.]

After Shen Xiaoran finished speaking, she suddenly realized that "she" seemed to be biting her lip hard, and her expression was a little serious, as if she was angry...

Then, in the next moment, her soul suddenly returned to her body.

Becoming Shen Xiaoran again.

So, she looked confusedly at Chen Yuan, who was lifting her up high, and showed a puzzled expression, "Huh?"

Pain is the path to returning to one's body.

So, he bit quite hard just now.

Shen Xiaoran should still be able to feel the pain in her lip.

However, in a few seconds, she should change back again.

"What does it matter if you can't walk?"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan said this standing-and-not-aching-back words with a smile, which surprised Shen Xiaoran herself.

Then, holding up this light and lovely little elf, Chen Yuan turned her around slowly, and after playing with this little airplane in his hand, he said:

"I'll take you flying."
