“Luo Ming, leave the lawyer to me!” Lin Shuwen suggested as they came out of Professor Wu’s office.
“I don’t know anyone in Shanghai, so I’ll have to rely on you.”
“I’ll have Miaomiao get in touch right away. Tomorrow—wait! Tomorrow we’ll have swapped, so doesn’t that mean I’ll be the one signing the contract?”
“What did you think?”
Lin Shuwen immediately felt her scalp go numb.
Why was it that whenever something important came up with Zhuoguang, she was the one who had to handle it?
“Then why don’t you come with me tomorrow?”
“Don’t you have work?” Luo Ming asked.
Lin Shuwen immediately checked the memo on her phone, then patted her chest and said, “It’s fine. There’s nothing important tomorrow. I can push things back a bit.”
“Alright, then let’s go together.”
“By the way, Luo Ming, is tomorrow the first time we’ll meet each other while swapped?”
“I think so.”
“Suddenly I’m kind of looking forward to it.”
“Huh? Looking forward to what?”
Lin Shuwen’s lips curved up slightly, but she didn’t answer.
At 11 p.m., Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen sat on the living room sofa.
“Luo Ming, it’s the middle of the night. Why did you drag me out here instead of letting me sleep?” Lin Shuwen asked, yawning.
“I want to see whether we’ll still swap if we’re together face to face.”
“You still haven’t accepted reality, have you?”
“It’s not about accepting reality. It’s an experiment. Wenwen, what did it feel like when you swapped before?”
“It felt… like nothing much. I just got very sleepy at midnight. I couldn’t stay awake no matter how hard I tried, and then I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, we had swapped.”
“Same for me. So I want to see what happens if we’re face to face.”
Hearing that, Lin Shuwen became interested too. She went to wash her face to wake herself up, then sat on the sofa with Luo Ming and waited.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon midnight arrived.
Before Luo Ming could react, a wave of drowsiness hit him. He forced himself to glance at Lin Shuwen one last time and found that she had already fallen asleep.
Then Luo Ming couldn’t hold on either and closed his eyes.
“Beep, beep, beep~”
The next morning, Lin Shuwen’s phone alarm went off.
She fumbled around but couldn’t find the phone. When she groggily opened her eyes, the ringtone had already been turned off. What greeted her eyes was a face she saw in the mirror every day.
But why did this face look so strange?
Lin Shuwen reached out and rubbed the beauty’s face, then complained, “Luo Ming, don’t use my face to make such a grim expression.”
“I’m not grimacing. I’m thinking about how I fell asleep last night.”
“How else could you have fallen asleep? What we swap is our souls. If your soul isn’t in your body, of course you’d fall asleep.”
“You’re right. It really seems that way. Ow—what are you doing!” Before Luo Ming could finish, Lin Shuwen yanked him up from the sofa.
“Don’t talk! I want to do an experiment too.”
As soon as Lin Shuwen finished speaking, Luo Ming felt his feet leave the ground.
“Holy crap! I’m being carried in a princess hold by a woman!”
“No, no, no. Right now, you’re the woman.”
“Uh… okay…”
Lin Shuwen carried Luo Ming all the way to the master bedroom.
Luo Ming panicked a little and instinctively struggled. “You—what are you going to do?”
“Woman, you’d better not move around, or I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
“You—you’re serious? You wouldn’t, right?”
“Guess!”
“I—I can’t guess! I used to feel like I knew you pretty well, but now I’m not so sure.”
“Are you scared?”
“Not exactly scared.”
As soon as Luo Ming finished speaking, he felt himself come into intimate contact with the bed.
And then there was nothing else.
Lin Shuwen suddenly wore a bored expression and left the master bedroom.
“What were you going crazy about just now?” Luo Ming asked as he came out.
“Ugh! Actually, when we first started swapping, I imagined a scene.”
“Uh, don’t say it. If you keep going, it’ll easily become a 404.”
“It wasn’t that dirty. I just wanted to see myself from the man’s perspective. But your expression was way too different from mine, and you weren’t scared at all. Boring.”
“That definitely wouldn’t work! If you want thrills, you have to go all the way. Otherwise, who’d be scared? And you need some sense of ritual, like changing into something sexier.”
Lin Shuwen’s eyes lit up. “Want to try again?”
“Uh, no, no! We’re supposed to meet the lawyer at 9, and it’s almost 8 now. If we waste any more time, we’ll be late.”
“Fine! Then I’ll go make breakfast.” With that, Lin Shuwen headed to the kitchen.
While making breakfast, Lin Shuwen savored what had just happened.
Honestly, being in the male body was great!
If she were in the female body, a princess carry would be way too hard.
And strength was only the most inconspicuous advantage of the male body. The male body didn’t have the monthly bleeding plus heavy injury debuff, didn’t have to worry about migraines from an irregular lifestyle, and didn’t need to diet…
Wait! Didn’t need to diet?
Lin Shuwen’s eyes lit up.
Ten minutes later, Luo Ming looked at the lettuce leaves and chicken breast in front of him, his head full of question marks.
“What the hell is this?”
“When I carried you just now, I noticed you’ve gained weight. You need to watch your diet.”
“Then what’s the meaning of this?” Luo Ming pointed at the sizzling beef slices and sausages on Lin Shuwen’s plate.
“What do you mean? ‘Luo Ming’ doesn’t need to lose weight!” After saying that, Lin Shuwen put a big piece of beef into her mouth.
The juice of the beef burst in her mouth, and Lin Shuwen’s expression was pure bliss.
Luo Ming swallowed and put the chicken breast into his mouth too.
“There’s no taste at all? Chuchu at least sprinkles a little sea salt on it!”
“That’s the right expression! This is exactly the face I make when I complain about Chuchu’s cooking. Exactly the same.
Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Your portion is right here!” Lin Shuwen magically produced another plate. On it were beef and sausages too, just a smaller portion.
After breakfast, Lin Shuwen originally wanted to dress herself up.
At that moment, Luo Ming, who had been suffering setbacks the whole time, began his counterattack.
“I don’t mind. It’s just that don’t forget, the hands dressing you up are mine. If you don’t care, then I don’t care either.”
Lin Shuwen immediately backed down.
After some fooling around, it was already 8:40 by the time they left the house. Rushing as fast as they could, they finally arrived at the law firm at 9 on the dot.
Lin Shuwen was clearly a regular at this law firm. As soon as they walked in, someone came up to greet them and escorted her and Luo Ming to the VIP reception room.
