Just Pick a Name

"It might be your lover who has arrived," Xu Youxiang said.

Xia Yu opened QQ and found that An Siyao indeed asked if she could come over. He was busy playing games and didn't see the message clearly, so he just replied with a "Mhm."

After the doorbell rang twice, the sounds of the door opening could be heard. It was estimated that Xu's mother had heard the doorbell and opened the door.

"By the way, what did An Siyao say when she came to see you yesterday?" Xia Yu asked Xu Youxiang.

"She gave me a million and asked me to stay away from you," Xu Youxiang answered.

"...I'd rather believe that you gave her a million," Xia Yu knew that An Siyao wouldn't do such a thing.

Sighing, Xu Youxiang spoke earnestly:

"She came to see me, and my mom excitedly led her to my room. Then, she asked me if I wanted money."

Xia Yu showed a smile. Such an unconventional approach was indeed something An Siyao would do.

However, although unconventional, it was effective.

"At that time, I was shocked. I thought she was a pimp trying to get me, a cripple, to serve clients. Later, I found out that she was your lover," Xu Youxiang spoke quickly, which was her usual way of talking. "You're really capable, actually telling your mistress's home address to the main wife."

"What mistress and main wife? You make me sound like a scumbag. Moreover, I didn't tell An Siyao your home address. I only told her your bank account number," Xia Yu said.

Xu Youxiang was silent for a moment before sighing: "So that 100,000 yuan was really from her? I underestimated you, actually letting the main wife provide living expenses for the mistress."

"Can't you speak properly?"

"Sorry, I can't."

Giving up on correcting Xu Youxiang's thoughts, Xia Yu returned to the main topic: "So, An Siyao gave you money, and you just went along with her? I didn't expect you to be the casual type of person!"

"You're the casual one! You and your lace trim! Twisted Lolicon! Ojou-sama lover! Living off women!"

"What the hell is a Lolicon? I've told you I had no interest in your body. I was just here to play games and maybe learn some programming when there's nothing to do."

While the two bickered, the door was opened, and Xu's mother and An Siyao walked in.

"Youxiang, your friend is here to see you. You guys play, and I'll go to bed," Xu's mother happily let An Siyao into the room and closed the door for her daughter so as not to disturb them.

Ever since Xu Youxiang scolded a hypocritical classmate last time, Xu's mother hadn't seen anyone come to visit Xu Youxiang.

An Siyao's visit yesterday was already a huge surprise, and her visit today made her even more excited.

Being cooped up at home and lying in bed all the time would make even a good person develop problems. It's best to have a friend to chat with.

Back in her room, Xu's mother tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

On the other side, Xia Yu and An Siyao stared at each other, with the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Before, they always met in An Siyao's body, and now suddenly they were in a different body, making them a bit unaccustomed.

Sometimes, just a small factor can make two friends grow distant, let alone such a significant change.

Finally, Xia Yu broke the silence.

He waved to An Siyao.

An Siyao then came to his bedside and bent down her head.

Extending his hand, Xia Yu placed it on her head.

"I've wanted to touch it for a while, it really does feel good." Xia Yu said, while rubbing An Siyao's head.

An Siyao did not speak, but a smile appeared on her face.

She lay on the edge of the bed, letting Xia Yu touch her head and tug at her cheeks.

When Xia Yu finished, she took the opportunity to make a request: "Can I touch you too?"

"Sure." Xia Yu agreed readily, after all, it wasn't his own body.

An Siyao then reached out and touched Xia Yu's hand and face.

With the mutual touching, the awkwardness between the two disappeared. Xia Yu continued to play the game, and An Siyao lay on the side, quietly watching.

"The preliminary competition is tomorrow, is it okay for you not to go back to sleep?" Xia Yu asked.

The first round of the high school musical instrument competition would begin tomorrow. Competitors will be selected from each city in Su Province to advance.

The competitors do not qualify for advancement in ranking order, but by skill level. If the skill level does not meet the standard, even if they win first place in the city, they will not advance. Similarly, once the skill level is met, even if there are more than ten people in a city, they will have more than ten places.

Due to the limited number of judges, the preliminary round starts in Su Province and then moves on to other provinces.

"Can I sleep here for a while?" An Siyao asked expectantly.

Xia Yu then made some room and let the girl climb onto the bed.

He put on headphones, turned off the overhead light, turned on the desk lamp, and continued playing the game.

After he finished a round, he felt a hand on his waist and saw that An Siyao had fallen asleep.

"Don't do anything weird to her with my body!" Xu Youxiang warned.

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Xia Yu said helplessly.

"Lace edging, pretty boy, loli-lover, entering without consent..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Xia Yu realized that dealing with Xu Youxiang's words was not a wise thing to do.

He didn't say anything more and continued playing the game in silence.

Eight hours later, Xu Youxiang regained control of her body.

Due to the sudden switch, she wobbled a bit.

The wobbling movement woke An Siyao up.

Seeing An Siyao rubbing her eyes, Xu Youxiang felt a sense of pity in her heart. This pity was not sympathy but a feeling of wanting to make the other person happy because of their cuteness.

"Do you want to sleep more?" She asked An Siyao.

"No need," the girl replied.

"Do you want me to play the game for you to watch?" Xu Youxiang recalled how An Siyao had been lying quietly watching Xia Yu play the game just now.

"I don't want to watch it," An Siyao answered.

"???"

Why was it different from just now?

Xu Youxiang reached out her hand to try and rub An Siyao's head again, but An Siyao dodged it.

"What do you want to do?" An Siyao looked at her in panic.

What do you mean, what do I want to do? You didn't react like this just now!

You were just hugging me while sleeping!

It's the same body, just a different soul!

Xu Youxiang held a grudge against Xia Yu.

Returning to his own body, Xia Yu got up from the bed, went out and washed up.

At eight o'clock, the principal sent him a message. Xia Yu then reported the address to the principal, and half an hour later, the principal appeared downstairs.

Getting in the car, the two headed towards the competition venue.

Zi Ling and Yao Guang were both cities in Su Province, and Xia Yu and An Siyao participated in the preliminary rounds in their respective cities on the same day.

The competition venue in Zi Ling was the Wolf Mountain Theater.

"Come on, let me show you your enemies first."

Leading Xia Yu into the theater, the principal was greeted by a middle-aged man of similar age, who was the principal of the Second Middle School.

"Oh, so you really came, Old Li. Weren't you stubbornly insisting that you wouldn't participate in such competitions anymore?" the Second Middle School principal said.

"Hmph, this time it's a student competition, not me competing."

"Cut it out; I know you too well. You came because you feel your student can win? That's impossible. Don't you think you can just get a ranking?" The Second Middle School principal looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu also looked at the two students beside the other party.

They were two boys, one wearing silver glasses and the other wearing black glasses.

Were these his opponents this time?

"Tian Long is just here to gain some experience; Feng Ma is the main force of our school." The Second Middle School principal introduced.

Feng Ma was the one wearing silver glasses. He smiled and reached out his hand to Xia Yu: "Hello."

"Hello." Shaking hands, Xia Yu frowned slightly.

Although Feng Ma seemed polite and respectful, there was a hint of arrogance in his demeanor, as if he was a winner, gracefully comforting the loser.

This made Xia Yu feel a bit uncomfortable.
