"Senior, then you're our Sixth Brother's...?"

Qi Wenyu tried asking about their relationship again.

Lu Xing bringing a stunning beauty back to the dorm had practically blinded them—in every sense of the word.

"I'm his cousin!"

Lu Xing put an arm around Xiao Yu's shoulder to show how close they were. Xiao Yu smiled and said, "What cousin? I'm your older cousin... Oh, I'm your younger male cousin. Older Cousin, did you forget?"

She did not want to get the short end of the stick. She was clearly older than Lu Xing.

The students suddenly understood and filled in the details themselves: Xiao Yu had just arrived in Hai City, come to tour Hai City University and visit her younger cousin. They hurried forward to ingratiate themselves with her, hoping to see whether they could add her on WeChat.

Lu Xing had lived with them for two years and knew their character all too well. Usually, they would hem and haw if he asked them to bring him a meal, but now they had turned into shameless bootlickers, fawning over "him." He found it hilarious.

"My younger cousin is moving out. Could you juniors help him move his things?"

Lu Xing grinned like a thief. Beside him, Xiao Yu could not help secretly rolling her eyes. She was not nearly that manipulative.

"No problem!"

"Leave it to me!"

Qi Wenyu and the others patted their chests in assurance and hurried to help pack. Lu Xing stood to one side, directing them on what went where.

Only after everything had been packed did Qi Wenyu realize something. He looked at Lu Xing strangely. "Why do I feel like, Senior, you've been to our dorm lots of times? You know our names, and you even know where Sixth Brother keeps his personal belongings."

The other two also looked over suspiciously. Indeed, there was something strange about the feeling this gorgeous woman gave them.

"Ahem, is that so? Maybe it's because my younger cousin talks to me about school all day."

Lu Xing laughed it off and quickly called Xiao Yu in from the corridor to help carry the things downstairs.

"Can I carry this?"

Facing a large bag stuffed with clothes and books, Xiao Yu first voiced her doubts, then reached out and tried lifting it. She found it effortless.

The difference in strength between men and women really was huge.

"Take care, Sixth Brother!"

"Come back and visit when you have time! We'll miss you!"

"It'd be even better if you came back with your older cousin!"

Amid his roommates' farewells, Lu Xing and Xiao Yu left the dormitory building carrying bags of all sizes.

After leaving through the west gate and getting into the car, they arrived at the hotel reception desk ten minutes later. Lu Xing roughly estimated that the hotel was a ten-minute walk from the school, or five minutes if they walked quickly.

Xiao Yu had already booked a room, and she had booked it for an entire month, costing fifteen thousand in total.

Lu Xing would stay there normally, while Xiao Yu would stay there whenever they switched bodies. She would not charge Lu Xing or the other three for their usual stays; she would cover it all herself.

After putting down the luggage, the two stared at each other in the hotel room.

Xiao Yu wanted to go home, but she could not really leave. If they did not switch back, she would still have to attend classes tomorrow.

The same went for Lu Xing.

The two waited around bored for a while longer. Then, at eight in the evening, Lu Xing's vision blurred. It felt like he had shifted through space. When he turned his head, he saw a gorgeous woman with an incredible figure sprawled on the sofa in a lazy pose, holding a phone exactly as he had been doing moments ago.

"Finally, we switched back."

Xiao Yu drew in her sprawled legs. That bastard Lu Xing had said that since there were only two of them in the hotel, there was no need to care about appearances.

"Mm."

Lu Xing nodded and stretched. "Then go back first. The next switch will probably be a few days from now."

"Okay... I only hope the next time comes a little later."

Xiao Yu was exhausted in both body and mind. She called her assistant and left soon afterward.

Only after seeing her downstairs did Lu Xing return to the room. He wrote down some precautions and told Anne and the others about his current situation—what the hotel was, how to call a waiter, how to get to school, and so on.

After thinking it over, Lu Xing also drew them a map, explaining how to cross at traffic lights, which roads to take, and how to avoid getting hit by cars.

He could not be blamed for being so long-winded. After all, the people who might enter his body included one from the Virtual World and one from Xianxia World. If the Fairy crossed the road like she owned it, thinking getting hit by a car would not matter, then Lu Xing might come back to find himself lying in a hospital with nowhere to cry.

After finishing, he took a shower, stood on the balcony to enjoy the breeze, and only then lay down on the hotel bed to sleep.

Only afterward did Lu Xing realize that his first time opening a hotel room with a girl had ended in such an anticlimactic way.

Of course, even if he had wanted to do anything just now, he could not have. He had still been using Xiao Yu's body. If anything, he had needed to guard against Xiao Yu in case she was some kind of pervert.

Hahahaha.

When he woke again, he vaguely smelled a delicate floral fragrance.

Lu Xing opened his eyes and saw flowers and grass before him. Puzzled, he sat up for a closer look and discovered that he was lying in the Purple-Clad Woman's garden halfway up a snowy mountain. Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

Lu Xing turned his head and looked around, gradually becoming stunned by the scene before him:

A Fairy of peerless beauty reclined lazily amid exotic flowers and rare plants in the form of a beautiful woman. The world was blanketed in white, snow covering the mountains, while only a garden halfway up the mountain remained in bloom. The Fairy lay among the flowers, blending into all things between heaven and earth.

What magnificent bearing was this?

What otherworldly grace?

Unfortunately, although he occupied the Fairy's body, he could not possess her state of mind. A mere mortal like him sitting amid these flowers was simply wasting this patch of spiritual plants!

Lu Xing stood and walked to an open area. Looking back, he saw the exotic flowers and rare plants where the Fairy had lain unfurling their branches and leaves, standing upright again. They even seemed to be growing better than the surrounding flowers and grass.

"Having been touched by the Fairy's aura, was this also a stroke of fortune for these spiritual plants?"

Lu Xing thought this amusingly. This was another difference between a Fairy and a mortal.

"Where was her mirror?"

He looked around. Now that he knew how powerful the mirror was, not having it in hand made him feel a little uneasy. This was Xianxia World, after all, and Cold Ice Fairy was such a peerless beauty.

It was nowhere around him.

Lu Xing walked toward the only thatched hut in the garden. Sure enough, he saw the mirror hanging in front of it. Beside it was the little girl formed from the Shapeshifting Lotus that had been illuminated by the mirror once. She was still asleep.

Lu Xing did not plan to disturb the lotus. He walked over, intending to take down the mirror and chat with the beautiful souls inside, but when he drew close, he noticed two lines of writing on the ground.

"I am no ordinary person, with neither name nor surname.

All matters shall be as you wish."

The first line answered Lu Xing's question about her name.

The second meant that wherever Lu Xing wanted to go, she had no objections.

That was all.

Lu Xing took a deep breath, then slowly let it out, forcing himself to calm down.

He reminded himself once more: The Fairy was no ordinary person—she had said so herself!

Since she was not ordinary, he could only endure her unusual behavior. If he encountered a problem, he would have to ask slowly or make his own guesses.

"Cold Ice Fairy has neither name nor surname, and quite a few of the beautiful souls in the mirror also claim to have neither name nor surname. Is there a reason they cannot say them, or are they unwilling to tell me? Could they really have no names at all?"

Lu Xing speculated. Logically, everyone should have a name. Even in an ancient village, people would have some sort of nickname—Little Cat, Little Dog, Ah Q, or something like that.

Therefore, Cold Ice Fairy and the beautiful souls in the mirror could not possibly have no names.

But that was the way ordinary people thought.

If he reversed his thinking, perhaps it was perfectly normal for a Fairy to have neither name nor surname?

Lu Xing decided to ask the beauties in the mirror.

If he still could not find out her name, he would be stuck on the beginner experience mission!

This really had become a hit drama called "Your Name."
