Arc 6
The Female Lead and the Male Lead Swapped Bodies (8)
Even though he only had a minor fall, Shen Ran stayed in the infirmary until the end of the day.
The important thing was, Shen Ran got injured during school hours. No one dared to be negligent, even the teaching director had come over to check on him. Liu Zhenzhen planned to return to the classroom, but… The Great Demon Shen? Went to class on his own initiative? Impossible.
Such an event was worth celebrating by setting off firecrackers, but who in the right mind would let him go to class in his condition? This great ancestor would be doing them a great favor by lying down in the infirmary properly!
Liu Zhenzhen didn’t have Shen Ran’s lawlessness, but, with the joint persuasion of the PE teacher, teaching director, and even the infirmary staff, she reluctantly continued to rest.
Right after class ended, Ye Wei visited her ward with a big box in her hands.
“Shen Ran, I asked the Auntie at home to cook lunch for you. I also requested a special big bone soup to ensure that you will feel better! You will be in great shape soon and you won’t feel pain again!”
“……” Can she choose not to eat?
Honestly speaking, she was accustomed to Ye Wei’s cynicism and rivalry, and she couldn’t keep up with her warmth and care — even if the goodness wasn’t intended towards herself at all..
She still didn’t like Ye Wei, though.
Shen Ran didn’t like her to begin with and would make things difficult for her. So, she refused, “No need. I already asked others.”
Ye Wei was dejected, “Someone is delivering the food for you? That’s okay, you can still drink my soup! My Auntie’s soup is the best, it’s very nourishing! Just take a sip and taste it.”
Liu Zhenzhen frowned and sighed, “I really don’t need it.”
Ye Wei blinked her eyes. Her gaze was downcast at the food box in her hand. She let out a little oh sound, as if careful not to anger him. “That’s fine too, you don’t need to eat this. Don’t be angry. I’m just worried about you, I want to care about you……”
Liu Zhenzhen wasn’t prepared for Ye Wei to be so “accepting”. She assumed that with Ye Wei’s temperament, she would feel wounded by her rejection and storm off. Yet, she actually kept quiet and let the matter go, even if reluctantly.
She considered Ye Wei’s infatuation with Shen Ran and held her tongue. She could only imitate Shen Ran’s tone and said nonchalantly, “…Thanks.”
This time, Ye Wei’s eyes went round. She glanced up at him, the reluctance and grievance on her face was wiped off. Her hands moved animatedly, “No, no. No need for thanks… Shen Ran, this is the first time you have spoken to me like this!”
Liu Zhenzhen was confused, “…How did I talk to you before?”
She shouldn’t have said anything wrong, right? Right…?
Ye Wei stopped to think for a moment, “Not much different. It’s just, you used to be more impatient with me. It’s rare for you to speak so nicely to me. like today. I’m so happy! Shen Ran, doesn’t this show that our relationship has gone closer!”
Liu Zhenzhen: “……”
Liu Zhenzhen put up a stoic face, “I think, you misunderstood. There is nothing different with me, I’m still the same as before.”
Ye Wei: “There’s definitely a difference! When have you talked to me so politely? Your usual replies were mostly ‘None of your business’ or ‘Get lost’!”
She mimicked Shen Ran’s aura and did pretty well, her imitation of Shen Ran’s arrogance and domineering demeanor hit around eight-point mark.
Liu Zhenzhen: “……” In short, Shen Ran is a jerk, right? So, why does Ye Wei still like Shen Ran when he is such a jerk? Is she a masochist?
Though, she wasn’t one to say because she also kinda disliked Ye Wei. She always targeted her, after all.
Liu Zhenzhen’s meal was soon delivered. The meal belonging to ‘Shen Ran’ was very rich, with five dishes and one soup. The small infirmary table couldn’t accommodate it all.
Liu Zhenzhen was starving, even if she ate a lot at noon, her body was now Shen Ran’s. Shen Ran, not counting his injury, consumed a lot of energy during the basketball match.
She ignored Ye Wei on her side and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, ready to eat.
To her surprise, when she had just taken a bit of the meat, which was fat but not greasy and full of rich aroma, her vision went blurry, and the next second, she had already returned to her own body in the classroom. Because the Great Demon Shen was angry, he threw a fit and refused to eat at the cafeteria.
She smacked her lips, and for a sliver second, she was thinking that switching to Shen Ran’s body right now would be a good thing— How delicious the meat is! She hasn’t had enough yet!
Turning back the time, not long ago, the said Great Demon Shen was fuming. He wasn’t hungry, so he didn’t go to the cafeteria. Instead, he wondered about what opportunity made him and Liu Zhenzhen exchange bodies.
The first time was after the car accident, when he had a high fever.
The next few times were random. Sometimes once a day, sometimes twice a day, or once every two days.
The patterns varied.
It left him confused, and even more frustrated.
He was irritated. He blinked, and woke up in his body again. He returned to his own body and… was eating a twice-cooked pork?!
He originally didn’t feel hungry, but with the meal in front of him, his stomach rumbled. He simply followed the flow and pulled a large bowl of rice. Yet, with all that sumptuous meal, he didn’t feel full. Coincidentally, someone next to him handed over a bowl of thick bone soup. The pure white broth was sprinkled with a few green onions on top. He gulped down most of the bowl, stretched out his hand, and handed the bowl directly to the person next to him.
Young Master Shen was used to bossing people around. He didn’t feel anything was wrong with his attitude. Anyway, others would think it was a great honor to serve him soup.
“Another bowl.”
“M’kay!”
Shen Ran comfortably rubbed his stomach and suddenly sensed something weird. The sound just now was not right. It wasn’t the voice of the little followers around him or his household servant, rather it sounded very much like…
He turned his head and saw Ye Wei next to him with bright eyes. She held the soup bowl in her hand with a wide smile, “I told you that my Auntie’s bone soup is good, didn’t I? Here you go, there’s still a lot left. If you like it, I’ll have Auntie cook it tomorrow and bring it to you!”
Shen Ran: “……??!!” What’s the situation right now?!
He stared at Ye Wei’s smiling face. In all honesty, she was too beautiful, and when she smiled, she looked more like a shining sun. Her porcelain white face showed no flaws; She was just a girl who had been pampered as she grew up.
He was a bit dazed by Ye Wei’s smile, but he snapped back to his senses the moment he recalled Ye Wei’s attitude towards him when he was Liu Zhenzhen. Her attitude was the exact opposite as she was now.
He couldn’t forget the disgust and threats.
“Who let you in?”
“I won’t drink it, take it away.”
“Also. get out of here.”
He furrowed his brow with a bad expression and threw his chopsticks to the side.
Ye Wei was still holding the bowl.
She was startled by his sudden outburst. She blinked her eyes again, with surprise and shock painted in them. Soon, it changed into a hurt and sad expression, “Shen Ran? What’s the sudden…?”
Watching her reaction, Shen Ran actually felt like he reacted a little bit too harsh?
He rustled his hair in annoyance, “What’s ‘what’s the sudden’?” What’s with what I do? You—”
He tried to say, I didn’t mean my words just now, don’t cry ah?
He was most afraid of girls crying.
But, Ye Wei had already pointed at him first, “Shen Ran, you’ve gone too far. I hate you!”
Then she threw the bowl and ran away.
Shen Ran: “……”
As expected, he still preferred to see Ye Wei who had the young lady’s big temper. The humble persona she had in front of him was not suitable for her.
————·————·————
As soon as Ye Wei left, Shen Ran called Liu Zhenzhen and ordered, “Stay away from Ye Wei!”
Liu Zhenzhen: “Hmm?”
Shen Ran: “When you are me, stay the hell away from Ye Wei! Do you hear me?!”
Liu Zhenzhen: “When we switched, I was eating, and Ye Wei was there. What’s happened?”
“Why are you so nosy? I told you to follow suit. In the future, when Ye Wei comes to see you again, just issue a direct expulsion to her right away.”
“……Oh, okay.” She then hung up the call.
Shen Ran: “……”
With the phone still in his hand, he discerned that he himself had to stay away from Liu Zhenzhen as well.
Not long after, Liu Zhenzhen discovered the problem. Ye Wei returned to the classroom and wilted on her table. She assumed that Shen Ran probably said something heartless that made her upset.
The reason why she felt that Shen Ran had said something heartless was because Shen Ran had asked her to stay away from Ye Wei just now. She could also guess something from the order of keeping a distance.
She didn’t have that big of heart to sympathize with Ye Wei. But, whenever Ye Wei was unhappy, she would come and trouble her.
Ah, that’s not quite right, even if Ye Wei wasn’t lying there wilted, she wouldn’t forget to give her a few glares with a fierce appearance as if Ye Wei wished she could be eaten alive by her.
Sometimes, Liu Zhenzhen felt that Ye Wei deserved it, she had it coming. Who told her to like a person like Shen Ran?
Shen Ran in the infirmary was still brooding over the matter. Has he really gone overboard with his words?
The way Ye Wei looked when she ran away, especially the sadness in her eyes, made him a bit uncomfortable. He always felt something was strange……
He judged that, with Ye Wei’s temper, she wouldn’t come to him again in the meantime. However, while she did not come to him for two days, she caused trouble for Liu Zhenzhen. Sometimes when Shen Ran switched to Liu Zhenzhen, Ye Wei would always come to trouble her and deliberately throw melon seed shells on the ground while Liu Zhenzhen was on cleaning duty.
“Liu Zhenzhen, this place hasn’t been swept clean!”
“Here, and here!”
“Here too!”
Liu Zhenzhen had a good temper, so she let her play around. Anyway, sweeping the floor could be considered an exercise.
As soon as Shen Ran was substituted for said situation, he smashed the broom and quit: “Ye Wei, don’t go too far!”
Ye Wei blinked innocently, “Where did I go too far?”
“Heh. Get lost! Sweep it yourself, I’m out!”
He slammed the door and left without a care..
Then, later, Ye Wei ran back to his side after making things difficult for Liu Zhenzhen, “Is your injury better?”
He remembered the rage when he slammed the door.
Ye Wei was pretentious to the core and yet still ran to comfort him with hypocrisy. He sneered, “What does my injury have to do with you? Back off from me!”
With every word he spoke, Ye Wei’s eyes dulled with hurt, but this time there was a hint of confusion, “Clearly you weren’t like this before……”
Shen Ran’s heart jumped, was Ye Wei so powerful that she could detect that he wasn’t him? “What’s ‘not like this’? I have always been this way!”
“I’m just worried about you. And before, you even say thanks to me……”
“Thanks? Heh. Then, let me thank you again. Please don’t worry about me again in the future, you got it? That would be very much appreciated, thank you very much.”
“……”
Shen Ran didn’t even look at Ye Wei’s downcast look as he left.
After taking a few steps, he glanced back and saw Ye Wei’s slender figure. She stood there with her head hung down, her hands tightly clasped together, appearing a bit pitiful.
Her current state made him look over his shoulder, reminding him of the look she had when she jumped off the two-meter platform to rush toward him.
She… seemed to really like him. She would worry about him, be nervous about him… Although she was hypocritical, pretentious, bossy, and domineering… All the points he didn’t like… She didn’t seem to have done anything wrong to him, or hurt him.
He turned on his heel, wanting to say something.
However, Ye Wei had covered her face and ran away in a small step, as if she couldn’t hold back her grief.
Shen Ran may have had a particularly poisonous mouth, but he was actually not that heartless. He felt a bit remorseful: ……Should he chase her or not? Will Ye Wei have an accident?
No. More importantly, he should be worried that Ye Wei would cause an accident to Liu Zhenzhen again if she got angry!
Shen Ran was in a dilemma.
A mischievous friend of his came over and hooked his shoulder, “What did you say to Ye Wei? Why does she look so elated?”
Shen Ran: “……??!!”
“Are you blind? Can’t you see that Ye Wei was so hurt by me that she hid her face and ran away crying?!”
The mischievous friend: “……???” Does she really?

Seems like Shen Ran has been successfully brainwashed by Ye Wei.
