What was the world like for girls?
Song Yunshen had rarely thought about that question before.
Or rather, it was hard for people to deliberately switch to someone else's perspective and see the world through their eyes.
Even when they consciously tried to put themselves in someone else's shoes, they often overlooked differences in the details.
But after Song Yunshen's soul landed in Xia Kening's body, he saw a side of the world utterly different from the one boys knew.
Although it had only been a single day, he had learned quite a bit.
It was his first time wearing a bra, and also the first time he learned that breasts that were too large could cause girls all sorts of trouble.
Their shoulders could get tired, and sweat easily collected in their cleavage. After a while, the trapped heat might even give them a heat rash.
Even with a bra holding them in place, they still inevitably bounced when walking or running.
The way boys looked at him was so obvious that it was hard not to notice. It felt uncomfortable, as though he were constantly being stared at.
Xia Kening appeared to be just under 1.6 meters tall, so her field of vision was no match for that of Song Yunshen, who stood at a towering 1.85 meters.
It took Song Yunshen quite a while to reluctantly get used to that height.
But when facing boys taller than him, the feeling of being looked down on from above really did make the pressure palpable.
It was frustrating to feel a head shorter than everyone else.
There were plenty of similar experiences.
For example, he really couldn't see his shoes when he looked down; laundry had to be sorted into categories; and bathing required at least three or four towels for different purposes...
Song Yunshen hadn't actually bathed, though. He had simply closed his eyes, wiped his body down with a hot towel, changed into pajamas, and gone to bed.
Xiao Mengdie was still discussing where to go and what delicious food to eat during summer vacation with the other two.
Song Yunshen occasionally chimed in, but he didn't give them a definite answer. After all, he knew Xia Kening's family wasn't well-off, and she might not be able to afford the expense of going out with her good friends.
And so, amid the chatter of the three roommates, Song Yunshen soon drifted off to sleep.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, he woke up again.
Hmm... there's an English exam today.
Before opening his eyes, Song Yunshen groggily rolled over, yawning as he thought about what to do.
I can only do my best to help her get as good a score as possible.
Still figuring out how to keep Xia Kening from doing too badly on her English exam, Song Yunshen stretched in bed and finally opened his eyes.
The next second, he froze in bed.
Huh?
This ceiling?
He turned his head.
This bed?
This desk?
This room?
Huh?!
Huh, huh, huh?!!!
Song Yunshen shot upright in bed and looked around in surprise. Then he looked down at his chest and rubbed it hard twice, whereupon a delighted expression appeared on his face.
"Holy crap! I'm back?!"
Song Yunshen picked up his phone and opened the camera in selfie mode. Only after getting a clear look at his own face did he finally let out a long breath.
"I really am back... that wasn't easy."
"So all it takes to switch back is going to sleep?"
Song Yunshen rubbed his chin thoughtfully, feeling just a tiny bit regretful.
After all, he still hadn't tried to see whether kissing could trigger a swap.
But on second thought, if he actually tried that, he would be controlling Xia Kening's body to kiss himself. It still felt too strange.
This was fine too.
But the next moment, something suddenly occurred to him, and he hurriedly looked down at the date on his phone.
Friday, June 27, 2025.
Hmm... it really is Friday already.
So what happened yesterday hadn't been a dream.
Song Yunshen confirmed that for the time being, but he still opened WeChat, found his chat with Xia Kening, and looked through their messages and WeChat call history.
Finally, he sent her a message.
[Song Yunshen]: We've switched back. Is everything okay on your end?
Xia Kening had also just woken up. When she heard her phone, she quickly replied.
[Xia Kening]: Yeah, we've switched back. I'm fine.
[Song Yunshen]: Good to hear. So what do you think about what happened yesterday?
[Xia Kening]: What is there to think? Don't tell me you want to switch again? Wasn't taking advantage of me for a whole day enough?
[Song Yunshen]: What do you mean, I took advantage of you? I lost out big time, okay? I flunked all my science exams yesterday, and now I have to take my English exam myself today. I got the short end of the stick.
[Xia Kening]: Is that what I meant? You even touched my breasts!
[Song Yunshen]: I used your hand to touch them. Besides, I was groggy just after waking up, so I barely remember it. If you've got the guts, let me touch them again in person.
[Xia Kening]: Pervert! Creep!
[Song Yunshen]: Hehe... didn't someone take a shower in my body? How did this handsome guy's body look?
[Xia Kening]: Pfft, pfft, pfft! Who would want to look at your body?! I just wiped the sweat off you. I didn't shower!
[Song Yunshen]: Is that so? My water heater keeps a record of water usage. Wait while I check.
[Xia Kening]: Wait!
She had forgotten that all the appliances in Song Yunshen's home were high-tech. A check would tell him everything.
[Song Yunshen]: Wait... you showered for over twenty minutes? What were you doing in there? Biological research?
[Xia Kening]: No, I wasn't! Isn't a twenty-minute shower perfectly normal?! It's common for girls to spend an hour in the shower, okay? Twenty minutes is quick!
[Song Yunshen]: I can get it done in five.
[Xia Kening]: How can you possibly get clean that way?!
[Song Yunshen]: After twenty minutes of scrubbing, you must have rubbed my skin raw.
[Xia Kening]: It wasn't that bad. That's how you get clean, okay? You're way too careless when you shower.
[Song Yunshen]: You sure are nosy. Bottom line, you saw my whole body, and now you're turning around and accusing me after taking advantage of me. You shouldn't have double standards.
[Xia Kening]: My eyes were closed the whole time! Besides, who knows if you secretly looked at my body!
[Song Yunshen]: Hehe, a gentleman has never needed to explain himself at length. If I say I didn't look, I didn't look. Believe it or don't. Either way, my conscience is clear.
[Xia Kening]: Even if you did look, you're not allowed to go around telling people! Especially about the two of us switching. You can't mention it to anyone.
[Song Yunshen]: Relax, I'm not that stupid. Besides, even if we told people about something like this, nobody would believe us.
[Xia Kening]: Good. Anyway, yesterday was an accident, so let's not have anything to do with each other from now on. I feel awkward whenever I see you now.
[Song Yunshen]: Same here, but this isn't something you can stop just by saying you don't want it.
[Xia Kening]: What do you mean?
[Song Yunshen]: We still haven't figured out what triggers the soul swap. All we know is that we only switch back when we wake up after going to sleep at night.
[Song Yunshen]: In other words, if we unknowingly meet the conditions for a swap again, what happened yesterday could happen again.
[Song Yunshen]: So I suggest you prepare yourself mentally in advance.
[Xia Kening]: Huh? What do we do, then?
[Xia Kening]: You... don't tell me you already know how to trigger it? You just want another chance to switch so you can play with my body!
[Song Yunshen]: Dream on. If it were up to me, I wouldn't want to switch with you again.
[Xia Kening]: I want to even less than you do!
[Song Yunshen]: Hard to say.
[Song Yunshen]: (Screenshot)
[Song Yunshen]: Take a look at that record of your twenty-plus-minute shower before you say that. Someone's pretty obsessed with this handsome guy's body.
[Xia Kening]: Aaaah!!! Delete each other! Delete each other! I don't want to see you again!
