Chapter 386: Complex Decomposition Reaction

The face in the mirror is not hers, and likewise, the heavy burden on her chest is not hers either.

Simozi thought to herself, she couldn’t even compare to a high school student.

Moreover, she knew about Guan Ling’s family background. She could tell that they weren’t wealthy, and there were even signs of malnutrition before. Yet, Guan Ling was still much better than her. Was this the power of innate genes?

No, no, I got it wrong…

The younger sister slapped her cheeks hard and thought to herself… Damn, why won’t this dream end!

Even if she slapped her cheeks until they turned red, she only stimulated her pain receptors.

Soul exchange.

Because of long conversations with Hokusinn Kichyō, they couldn’t be called close sisters who wore the same skirt, but at least they could be friends who could exchange stockings.

Of course, she had heard about the "soul exchange" thing before and had worried about what she would do if it happened to her.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with a solution and could only try to convince herself with thoughts like "How could such a stroke of bad luck possibly happen to me?"

Yes, the people who won the lottery or got hit by a plane surely had the same thoughts before the reality hit them.

Life, oh, you should always be prepared, you never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.

Yagyū Simozi completely understood the wisdom of the ancients, but unfortunately, it was of no help to her, she could only regret not having a "reset button" with her.

Before she had a chance to feel down for a few seconds, she heard a sound coming from the room, another person had woken up.

It was herself.

Yagyū Simozi quickly walked out of the bathroom, but before she could stop it, she heard a voice of doubt.

She saw herself sitting on the bed, unconsciously touching her chest and pinching her shoulder. The face of the younger sister turned black immediately.

Guan Ling, who had just woken up, sat up and instinctively touched her chest. This touch made her fully awake.

"Gone? Gone?" She forcefully touched her chest. "It’s really gone!"

After being surprised, Guan Ling let out a sigh. "Oh well, it’s good that it’s gone…"

"You big-headed fool!" Yagyū Simozi picked up a pillow and threw it at her. "Wake up!"

Guan Ling got hit by the pillow and fell down. Hearing the shout, she felt a sense of familiarity and looked at the person in front of her – herself with an angry face and hands on her hips. "Ah, this, this… I am myself… Wait, no, you are me, then I am…"

She looked at her own hands and immediately noticed the size of the clothes she was wearing. Guan Ling widened her eyes in surprise.

Yagyū Simozi took a deep breath. This was not the time to panic. "Listen to me, between us…"

"Soul exchange," Guan Ling spoke.

Simozi was astonished. "You also know?"

After a brief shock, Guan Ling quickly regained her calm. She remembered the ‘father’ she had killed with her own hands, and she couldn’t help but bite her lip. Now that this fact was happening to her, it only made her more certain that she hadn’t done anything wrong.

She forced a smile at ‘herself’ and said, "I’ve heard similar urban legends…"

Yagyū Simozi sighed, "Urban legends… Do you know how to break the curse?"

Guan Ling shook her head.

Little sister didn’t have much hope either. She sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about what to say next.

Following her elder brother’s example, she inherited Bai Wei’s way of thinking. When faced with difficulties, the first thing she did was try to understand the situation, and then figure out how to overcome it.

She wasn’t used to the weight on her chest, so she held up the two round objects with her hands. Most women with large breasts had a similar habit. When she unconsciously made this movement and realized it, she paused for a moment and then had an urge to cry and sigh… This girl could finally feel the force of gravity…

Thinking this way, her expression remained unchanged. She bit her lip and then spoke.

"Let’s not tell anyone about the soul exchange between us for now. Let’s think about how to solve it properly."

"At least there’s some good news, our exchange happened between two people who are close to each other, not with someone far away, and that’s something to be grateful for."

"If we exchange with a stranger, it’s okay if they are understanding and kind, but if it’s with an old or sick person, a disabled person, or a child who cannot easily communicate, or even someone who dreams of being a high school girl, the consequences would be unimaginable. It’s hard to imagine how our bodies would be mistreated."

Yagyū Simozi comforted Guan Ling, it was a bad thing, but not completely a bad thing.

The uncertainty of soul exchange has been eliminated, at least both sides know each other well, so they won’t harm each other and can actually cooperate.

Guan Ling nodded, "Yeah, I don’t want to exchange souls with anyone else, but Sister Yagyū, I can accept."

Now that she has recovered her senses, she realized that being able to exchange souls with Yagyū Simozi is like reaching for something incredible.

She is so talented, excellent, and beautiful, with outstanding sword skills and good grades. Besides being too peaceful, she has no flaws at all.

Moreover, being too peaceful is actually seen as a highlight by many people, not a flaw.

Guan Ling now feels burden-free and much more relaxed in her breathing.

Not to mention, Yagyū Simozi also has a handsome and reliable older brother who is responsible, righteous and has the spirit of a knight and the demeanor of a scholar.

Guan Ling envied a fortunate and dreamlike life that she couldn’t have even in eight lifetimes.

Maybe now she can experience a little bit of it?

Guan Ling felt ashamed of her thoughts, but still couldn’t help her heart beating faster, because even if it was false, it could fulfill a dream for her.

If one day she could become Bai Wei’s older brother’s sister… She had briefly imagined it when she first met Yagyū Simozi.

Unfortunately, Bai Wei is not here. If he was, he probably wouldn’t be able to hide it for long.

Yagyū Simozi glanced at the time. "Let’s change our clothes first. It’s already bright outside. Do you have anything to do today?"

The two girls finished washing up and started taking off their pajamas to change into clothes.

Yagyū Simozi had some free time herself. The exact time for the exchange meeting was set for one to two weeks. When they would return depended on when the weather improved and dispersed the gloom.

She was now allowed to move freely, as long as she reported her activities regularly.

Guan Ling said, "I still have to go to class… the end of the semester is coming soon."

"I heard from my brother that you plan to apply to Far East University."

"Hmm." Guan Ling looked serious.

"Now you can start preparing for your exams," Yagyū Simozi suggested. "I’m doing well in my academic subjects, so you can stay at home and I can help you with extra lessons. It’s better than studying at school."

"But you still have to go to school," Guan Ling didn’t mind. "I just transferred here recently, and I still need to get my graduation certificate."

High school has three semesters. Vacation starts at the end of December, there are about ten days of winter vacation in January, and classes and exams take place in February and March. There is a spring break at the end of March.

High school graduation mostly takes place in March, which happens to be the season when cherry blossoms bloom… Yagyū Simozi doesn’t understand this because she attended high school in the Ming Country, where graduation takes place in the hot months of June and July.

After freeing herself from family responsibilities, Guan Ling started discussing these things. She had more time to focus on her life and noticed that high school students should be carefree during this season. She also told Yagyū Simozi about some interesting customs.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, if a girl wants to receive the second button from a boy, it means that the person she likes is him. For boys, the second button on the uniform is a symbol of love. The first button is for yourself or a close friend of the same gender. The third button is for friends, the fourth button is for family, and the fifth button is for other people with less acquaintance.

Because the second button is closest to the heart, it symbolizes love. If you can’t get the second button, it’s like being eliminated.

Yagyū Simozi suddenly remembered when she graduated from high school. It seemed like she received seven or eight buttons. She was puzzled and thought these boys were extremely boring. She didn’t ask for a single one. Maybe they thought she was from Yingzhou, so they naturally thought she would understand the meaning.

Simozi thought to herself… When I go back, I’ll ask my older brother for a button to make up for the regret I had back then.

Yagyū Simozi put on her uniform, feeling a bit lighter with the underwear inside. She took a deep breath and said, "I’ll accompany you to the school first, and then take a leave of absence. It’s not long until the holiday starts anyway. I’ll just say I’m studying at home. I have my student ID from Far East University with me, so it should be easy."

Guan Ling nodded and looked at Yagyū Simozi’s posture, couldn’t help but remind her, "Sister Yagyū, pay attention to…"

"What?"

"Your posture and movements," Guan Ling reminded, "My mom is strict about this. You can’t be like a boy."

"Does your mother want you to be a proper young lady?" Yagyū Simozi placed one hand on her hip, even with Guan Ling’s body, she still looked very cool.

Guan Ling realized that appearances could change, but inner qualities remained the same.

"Just pretend, please." Guan Ling clasped her hands together. "Please, I don’t want my mom to know about this. She would be shocked if she found out."

"I’ll try my best." Yagyū Simozi realized that pretending to be a high school student was not difficult, but pretending to be a completely different person like Guan Ling would definitely be challenging for her.

The little girl was a squirrel, while she was a saber-toothed tiger.

Stuffing a tiger’s soul into the body of a mouse was bound to roar in the mountains, not to mention… she still had her sword by her side.

Even though Guan Ling had average physical abilities and had never trained in true energy, she still had confidence in sweeping through a gang of martial artists with a wooden sword in her hand.

But even saber-toothed tigers could be afraid. When she walked down the stairs and met Guan Caizi’s gaze, she immediately felt an immense and invisible pressure.

"Why couldn’t you wake up earlier to help prepare breakfast for our guests?" Guan Caizi asked with a smiling face.

Yagyū Simozi turned around and looked at the apologetic Guan Ling, her pretty face turned pale… I became a substitute.
