Pain in Your Body, Ache in My Heart

6 PM.

"Are you there yet?"

"I'm at the school, almost at the West Gate."

Lu Xing arrived at Hai University West Gate in the Starry Sky Top Sedan. From a distance, he saw himself—oh no, it was Xiao Yu—sitting on a bus stop bench, backpack on, phone in hand.

The car stopped smoothly beside the bus stop.

"Beautiful, get in!"

After rolling down the window, Lu Xing called out to her.

People around turned to look, seeing his finely featured face, then looking the other way... Which beautiful woman?

Called beautiful by him, but Xiao Yu, in Lu Xing's body, stood up expressionlessly, unzipping her backpack as she walked and tossing it through the car window to him. "Your books."

Saying this, she got into the car from the other side.

Lu Xing smiled, "You haven't gone back to the dorm yet? Afternoon classes ended at four."

Xiao Yu reacted, stopping in her tracks. "Wait, I called you here to help me move things. Why are you getting in the car? Get out!"

The driver in the front couldn't help but glance back slightly.

His boss, called by a university student to move things right after getting off work? And the boss called him... beautiful?

"Although I'm not hungry right now, I estimate I will be."

Lu Xing said with a smile.

Xiao Yu actually understood what he meant and couldn't help but laugh. "Whose fault is it that you have such a good appetite? Alright then, let's eat first and then move things. Have someone pick a restaurant."

"Okay." Lu Xing sent a message to Assistant Zhang.

"What did you just call me?" Xiao Yu turned to ask him.

"Beautiful, what's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"It is strange, but what do you think I should call you?"

Lu Xing countered.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment. If he used names, neither name would be appropriate. Lu Xing calling out "Lu Xing, get in the car" might cause cognitive dissonance; if he called her name, it wouldn't match.

Calling out "Handsome, get in the car" would be awkward and incorrect; Xiao Yu wouldn't consider herself handsome.

Calling her beautiful was also incorrect, but Xiao Yu could understand Lu Xing's feeling: in each other's eyes, although the other person was using their own body, the subconscious would replace it with the other person's original appearance.

"So confusing! Let's just not use any titles, just talk directly."

Xiao Yu sighed and got into the car from the other side.

However, as she got in, she accidentally hit the car roof, letting out a cry of "Ouch!"

"Hiss!"

Lu Xing also covered his forehead and quickly reached out to help her sit down.

Xiao Yu covered her head and asked him strangely, "You hurt too when I hit my head?"

"The pain is in your body, but the ache is in my heart!" Lu Xing said helplessly, then added, "Watching myself get hit right in front of me, don't you feel pain? To be precise, I hurt both physically and mentally!"

Xiao Yu felt physical pain, while Lu Xing felt phantom limb pain.

"Stop talking! It's all your fault for being too tall, I didn't adapt to your height for a moment!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh. It was all so messy, even she couldn't figure out the current situation!

And to the driver in the front row...

The CEO's words were too cheesy! It was like he was flirting with her.

What was wrong with their CEO? Being with this college student was like being in love...

Could they really be dating?

But why did this student named Lu Xing say the CEO was too tall?

During dinner, Lu Xing talked to her about the three people who came to discuss investment today.

"Which project do you think is good?"

Xiao Yu asked him calmly.

"The AI one is purely an outsider trying to ride the wave. No one who isn't stupid would invest in him."

Lu Xing shared his analysis: "As for the streamer e-commerce, although the boss talks a good game and seems unreliable, he does have ability. He has his own understanding of live streaming. Investing in him has a fifty-fifty chance of making or losing money."

"What about the third one?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly.

"I'm quite optimistic about the third game. It has both gameplay and pay-to-win elements, but a ten million investment is a bit large, and after it launches, there's a high probability that additional marketing expenses will be needed."

"What I want to earn is the money from this stage."

Xiao Yu chuckled, "I don't know much about games, but I don't need to understand them deeply. If a game can be launched and is worth increasing marketing expenses after evaluation, it's already profitable. I won't participate in the subsequent gamble. I'll choose to exit at that time and see which game company is willing to take over."

Lu Xing thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know much about game publishing, so I won't comment."

"So you choose to invest in the game?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Yes. If I have to choose one from these three, I'll choose to invest in the game project."

Lu Xing made his choice, waiting for the system to prompt the completion of the task.

Seeing that the system didn't react, Lu Xing pressed her, "What about you, CEO Xiao? Based on your judgment, which one would you choose?"

Xiao Yu covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, saying playfully, "I'm just the opposite of you!"

"You're choosing to invest in the first one?" Lu Xing was very surprised.

"Yes, and I will definitely invest. Do you know why?"

"How the hell would I know!"

Lu Xing suspected she was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him!

Xiao Yu laughed for a while before explaining, "The reason I invested in him is simple. The facial recognition algorithm used in the AI application is from a doctoral thesis written by a friend of mine."

"...Holy crap!"

Lu Xing was stunned by this connection.

Xiao Yu chuckled, "My friend wanted to use this game to collect some data, so he introduced the company's boss to me to ask for investment. He asked me to just invest a little money so he could develop and release the application."

"So you invested five million?"

"It didn't need that much, a million at most would do. It's not a lot of money, just me returning a favor to my friend."

"So that's how it is."

Lu Xing nodded, "Luckily I didn't chase him away. I thought he was a big fool, but it turns out it was all about connections and favors!" He added, "You didn't tell me beforehand. What if I had messed it up?"

Xiao Yu smiled without speaking.

Lu Xing didn't press further.

The system, however, notified him that the task was completed and rated as excellent, rewarding him with three hundred experience points.

It was already seven o'clock when they returned to school after dinner.

Lu Xing and Xiao Yu walked on the road, with Xiao Yu carrying his backpack.

Why was she carrying his backpack?

Because she was in Lu Xing's body, which was strong and healthy, and she planned to switch back soon, so she didn't want her own body to get tired.

"I'm back!"

Returning to his dorm, Lu Xing called out. The Xiao Yu beside him immediately looked over and reached out to pull his clothes.

Only then did Lu Xing react, quickly signaling her with his eyes to speak.

"I'm moving out."

Xiao Yu smiled politely at Lu Xing's roommates as a farewell.

"Sixth Brother is really moving out?"

"No way! Dorm 315 isn't complete without Sixth Brother!"

The three people in the dorm expressed their regret. Qi Wenyu looked at Lu Xing with amazed eyes a few times, then turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Sixth Brother, is this senior your... girlfriend?"

Many people from the neighboring dorms were already watching in the corridor. It was rare for female students to enter a male dorm, especially a beauty like Xiao Yu.

But what they didn't know was that inside the beautiful shell was Lu Xing himself!

"Stop talking, she's not!"

Lu Xing waved his hands repeatedly, feeling extremely uncomfortable!

Being looked at by familiar classmates with the gaze reserved for a beautiful woman felt just like being targeted by a gay man, sending chills down his spine.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and suppressed her laughter. This guy finally understood what it felt like for her to live in a male dorm. It was probably exactly like this!
