Chasing his light, I also saw the darkness. — Su Xiangli
I'm not angry, I'm definitely not angry. Who would be happy if I ruined my body with anger? Wait, this body belongs to that bad guy, so it doesn't matter if I ruin it… right? No, no, no, I'm a little reluctant.
It's over, I'm so useless.
I took out my phone, opened the outbox. I'm going to have a high-intensity confrontation with that guy, hmph hmph.
First, I'll change that person's contact name, to avoid confusion.
19:24 "Su Shi Gaodian: You're an idiot! You look so ugly!"
After sending that, I suddenly remembered I forgot to tell him how to use the computer. I have three accounts: one for my mom to see, one for myself, and a spare one for privacy. They're unlocked with my right index finger, left index finger, and left pinky, respectively. Oh, I just need to tell him the first two. I can't let him know my secrets.
Just as an email went out, that guy sent a new message, with a video attached.
I clicked it open, and that guy was dancing ballet in my body.
So bad! Hahahahaha!!!
Oh my god, why is he so clumsy? He's just running and jumping aimlessly. Wow, he's even spinning, and he fell! Hahahaha!
The guy in the video, wearing a black leotard and white tights, was grinning foolishly as he glided across the dance studio. The background music was Swan Lake, and he stepped perfectly on every beat. If it weren't for the fact that his movements weren't ballet at all, it would almost look like the real thing.
Then, he tried a relevé, like a stiff compass, slowly lifting his left foot. The moment his right big toe touched the ground, his expression changed. His formerly goofy look suddenly became dark and wrinkled, like a duck struck by lightning. He put his foot down, hissing in pain.
My stomach hurt from laughing, and I gasped, 'Oh dear!' This guy, besides wearing the right clothes, isn't doing anything correctly. He's like a black pig that wandered into the dance studio.
No, how can I say that about my own body? Not a black pig, but, uh, a black angel with broken wings! Yes, that's it.
19:25 "Su Shi Gaodian: Bad, too bad. It's an insult to my elegant body!"
[Someone Lu on the other side: System, add points!]
I happily waited for that guy's stubborn rebuttal, but he didn't respond for a long time, which was somewhat disappointing. I put down my phone and looked at the computer screen in front of me. Does that guy also have a private space?
I relocked the screen, then tried to unlock it with different finger prints, and even iris recognition, but it was always the same account. It seems that guy really isn't hiding anything.
Don't his family members check his computer? I'm a little envious.
Speaking of which, the deadline for college applications is approaching. That guy was talking nonsense about going to National Arts High School Attached with me, but with his grades, not going to a regular high school would be such a waste. I can't let him ruin his educational experience. Perfect, I'll register him online. Yonghang No. 1 High School, registration complete, approval passed. That fast?
An admission letter will be sent in a couple of days.
It's a provincial key school, the curriculum must be very intense. He's doomed… Wait a minute, now I'm him, so I'm actually the one going to school then!
Fortunately, I have his brain now, so I should learn things quickly, right? I turned my gaze to that person's bed. The simple setup, everywhere revealing a lazy atmosphere. The trash can was right next to the bed, and the two nightstands had VR equipment on one side and snacks and drinks on the other. It was simply a happy home for a happy couch potato.
I decided to try out this ultimate happy couch potato setup.
Sitting up against the headboard, with the quilt covering my legs, I put on the helmet and finger sleeves, then moved next to the snack cabinet, opened a pack of matcha cookies, and took out a cup of pure milk. Ugh, no potato chips or cola.
Let's look at that person's online courses.
Hmm, advanced mathematics, I guessed that; Spanish, he's been learning that for many years, right? Okay; programming languages, wow, six of them, so many; engineering physics, I don't understand this, haven't studied it; watercolor application, modern music appreciation, wood carving art. Is that all? Oh, this is today's schedule.
It's over, there's still so much…
When I put down the helmet with a bewildered expression, the matcha cookies in my mouth no longer tasted good.
I was scared. My first reaction was to email that guy for help. Then I realized I had received a new email from him.
It was another video, still ballet in the dance studio. That guy was dancing with light steps, spinning quickly and steadily, at the level of our instructor, who is a national ballet dancer.
He actually learned that in such a short time?
Mom… Oh my god.
19:46 "Xiao Kang Renjia: You still have a lot to learn, little sister."
I felt a huge sense of disappointment. I didn't want to admit it, but I really felt wronged. I inexplicably switched bodies, carefully played his role, and still had to worry about Xiao Lu revealing himself in front of my mom. If in the future we can only live as each other, how can I uphold such an impressive persona of his!
[Lu: Don't misunderstand, I'm cheating.]
Xiao Lu is a genius, no doubt. He can use the income from his hobbies to meet his financial needs. For many ordinary people struggling in the quagmire of work, being as brilliant as Xiao Lu is already a dream fantasy.
I probably can't be as amazing as him. No, I absolutely can't. The courses I chose are history, politics, and geography. I'm a liberal arts student! I don't even understand the online courses he's taking. How can I inherit his identity?
And that person? He so simply surpassed my six years of hard-trained ballet skills.
[Lu: I already said I'm cheating.]
What's the deal? Are some people's reasons for existing in this world just for us mortals to look up to? But I'm in his body now, with his physique and brain. Give me some time, I can definitely learn it!
[Lu: No, no, no, you're overthinking it.]
...
Simon and Su Xiangli said goodnight to each other.
22:02 "Su Shi Gaodian: I learned so many things today. It was very fruitful, I believe I'll be a genius soon."
22:02 "Xiao Kang Renjia: Don't overwork yourself, go to bed early. My body needs plenty of sleep. Remember to wake up early for exercise tomorrow."
22:03 "Su Shi Gaodian: I don't need you to remind me, big idiot. Oh, by the way, I already registered you. Yonghang No. 1 High School, hehe. You're welcome."
22:03 "Xiao Kang Renjia: That's fine too. But we'll be separated then, won't that be inconvenient for you?"
22:03 "Su Shi Gaodian: We have a whole summer to adapt. Don't reveal yourself in front of mom, understand?"
22:03 "Xiao Kang Renjia: (→) Understood, don't worry."
Simon put down his phone, staring blankly at the real-time image of the Orion deep space on the ceiling, lost in thought.
Su Xiangli tucked her phone under her pillow and drank the remaining half-cup of milk on the nightstand.
The surroundings quieted down.
