Meeting

The other party did not speak again. He did not know whether she was angry or embarrassed.

But she had not hung up.

"By the way, I still don't know your name," Lu Xing asked.

"Xiao Yu."

"Xiao as in the great hero Xiao, Yu as in mermaid?"

"Yu as in beautiful jade."

"Oh. My name is Lu Xing—Lu as in land, Xing as in walking. My roommate is Qi Wenyu. You can just call him Wenyu; he'll call you Sixth Brother."

"Thank you, but there's no need to introduce anyone else. I'm not very interested."

Xiao Yu seemed completely uninterested in getting involved in Lu Xing's social circle. She only wanted to get out of bed, get dressed, and hurry over to see him!

Half an hour later.

Xiao Yu finished getting ready, took the sheet of paper and his phone, and headed out with a cold expression.

It was not because of Lu Xing. It was because the boy in the dormitory snored in his sleep, and she had listened to a man snoring for a full half hour!

She was going crazy!

After asking a student for directions, Xiao Yu left Hai City University through the west gate. She looked around, but did not see the car she usually rode in parked by the roadside.

She could only call Lu Xing again. "Didn't you say the car was here?"

"It is. Let me check... It's a BMW. Do you see it?"

"A BMW?"

Xiao Yu looked at the badges on several cars by the road, then shook her head. "I don't know which one is a BMW. Have her tell me the license plate... Oh, I see it. Thanks."

"Good. Come over, then."

Lu Xing hung up. Xiao Yu walked toward her assistant, Zhang Biman, who had spotted her as well.

"Hello!" Zhang Biman greeted the young man before her. "Are you the Student Lu our boss wants to meet?"

As she spoke, her sparkling eyes remained fixed on the handsome young man, the flames of gossip blazing within her.

"...That's me."

Xiao Yu answered while suppressing the strange feeling. She was clearly her own assistant, yet she did not recognize her.

"Please." Zhang Biman gestured. Xiao Yu walked over to the rear door, but Zhang Biman did not come to open it for her and instead went straight to the driver's seat.

After pausing in surprise, Xiao Yu reached out and opened the door herself, then sat in the back.

She even closed the door herself.

In the past, whenever she approached the car, her assistant or secretary would already have opened the door and waited for her. Once she got in, they would close it behind her.

But things were different now.

The BMW quickly started up, leaving Hai City University and heading toward the Financial Center. Xiao Yu watched the scenery flash past the window, her mind in turmoil. She lowered her head to look at the paper in her hand again and again, gripping it tightly.

She had no idea what it would be like when she saw him later...

Half an hour later.

The BMW arrived at the entrance of a luxury residential complex. Only after calling Lu Xing was it allowed into the garage.

Five minutes later, Xiao Yu reached the top floor. After she rang the doorbell, Secretary Sun opened the door. Xiao Yu only glanced at her before leaving her secretary and assistant with one sentence: "Wait downstairs!"

With that, she headed straight for the indoor elevator.

Zhang Biman and Sun Yingxia looked at each other.

"When did the CEO get so familiar with him? He even knows exactly where the elevator is!"

"I don't know either. I was just about to ask you what was going on. The CEO didn't go to work today and even told me to pick up a young guy from Hai City University!"

"I have to say, this young guy is pretty handsome."

"..."

While the two whispered among themselves, Xiao Yu went up to the second floor. When the elevator doors opened, she took another deep breath and calmed herself before stepping out.

She did not see "herself."

Xiao Yu frowned. She checked the bedroom, but still did not see anyone.

She went to look in the study next door as well. Finding no one there, Xiao Yu went directly upstairs.

Sure enough, she found "herself" in the rooftop garden. "She" was leaning against the wooden railing around the planters with both hands, her hair blowing in the wind as she admired the Financial Center in the distance.

The thin nightgown fully displayed Xiao Yu's lovely figure. She had never known her body was so attractive.

"What are you doing?!"

Xiao Yu's expression darkened. This guy did not act like a girl at all!

Lu Xing turned around and jumped when he saw "himself," taking a long while to recover.

Xiao Yu could understand why he had frozen.

When she saw "herself" earlier, she had been stunned for quite a while too.

"You're here?"

Lu Xing smiled. Seeing his own body from a third-person perspective was truly fascinating! It felt like playing a third-person game.

"Mm."

Xiao Yu was much calmer now. She took out the paper and asked him solemnly, "From what you wrote, you've experienced body swaps more than once?"

"Yes. That's why I told you to stay calm. We'll switch back by evening."

"At least, that's how it happened the previous three times," Lu Xing added.

"So there may be more swaps in the future?"

Xiao Yu caught the key point.

"I don't know, but there probably will be."

Seeing the grave expression on "his own" face, Lu Xing joked, "Don't worry. Going broke overnight was just an illusion. I won't touch a single cent of your money!"

Xiao Yu raised her brows slightly. She was not especially worried about her money. Rather, she feared that the person before her harbored ill intentions—that he would deceive her parents, friends, and relatives, or use her body to do something reckless.

All the way here, she had kept mulling over Lu Xing's words, trying to determine what kind of person he was from the way he spoke.

Now that she had met him—though he was in her body—Xiao Yu could still tell that he was not malicious. At least, not for now.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "So, from what you said, you got to experience becoming rich overnight?"

"That's right!"

Lu Xing sighed. "Poverty limited my imagination. I never dreamed that there would be such a several-hundred-square-meter Large Flat in the land-scarce Financial Center. Two floors would have been enough, but even the rooftop can be used as a garden!"

It would be a lie to say he was not envious.

When Lu Xing toured the place earlier, he had been like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Xiao Yu chuckled. "The internet is so developed these days. Plenty of people film these kinds of luxury homes. You simply never paid attention."

Then she said tactfully, "I bought this place a few years ago. If you can find a way to resolve our current situation, I can give it to you."

Lu Xing shook his head. "Forget it. How could I take your marital home?"

"Marital home? I don't have a boyfriend. Besides, I only stay here a few times a month. I mainly bought it as an investment."

Xiao Yu explained.

But Lu Xing did not believe her. In the current real estate market, who would spend hundreds of millions on an investment?

He looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Don't worry. When I say I won't take your money, I mean it. I'm a student at Hai City University, one of the nation's model youths. I won't use your body to do anything illegal!"

Xiao Yu was silent for a while before saying, "This apartment truly means nothing to me."

"Enough. I can't be bothered to argue with you. Let's go downstairs!"

Lu Xing could not tell whether she was sincere or testing him. After waving off the offer, he headed downstairs.

"Sorry," Xiao Yu apologized behind him.

Lu Xing acted as if he had not heard. He had been the one to bring up money because he did not want her to worry. It was normal for such a Rich and Beautiful Woman to be concerned. Lu Xing felt pained even losing two thousand yuan.

The two went downstairs, where Secretary Sun called out, "CEO, the breakfast you ordered has arrived!"

"You're hungry?"

Xiao Yu looked at "her own" stomach and inexplicably recalled the line in his list of precautions: "Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty."

Did he really treat eating and drinking as his first priority?

"How can you skip breakfast?"

Lu Xing called downstairs, telling the secretary to bring breakfast up.

Xiao Yu glanced at the pajamas on her body. She was about to tell him to change clothes with her, but then remembered that there were some embarrassing things in the dressing room. She hurriedly told Lu Xing to wait while she went in to tidy up!

As she sorted through her clothes, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something:

When he called it a marital home, did that mean... he thought she was already old enough to be at the age of marriage?!
