CH 96

Shen Ran in Li Zhenzhen’s body was not to be trifled with. He couldn’t figure out why he turned into a woman. He didn’t want to be a woman. He was even more afraid that he wouldn’t be able to return to his body. Plus, being a woman was too inconvenient. Not only did he have to squat on the toilet, but he must be cautious that his skirt would fly up and expose his underwear if he walked too fast. What’s even more terrifying was that he finally tasted the pain of menstrual cramps!

The lower abdomen was in extreme pain. The waist was sore. The whole body was uncomfortable all over. And another point to make was, he had to go to the bathroom to change the thing… At every step, he was afraid of something leaking! He sat still and dared not make any movement. No wonder his mother was cranky on those days, and he was no better.

And Ye Wei just happened to catch him when he was in a bad mood.

He slumped on the table, feeling that he was going to ascend to heaven from the pain. He impatiently sent a message to Li Zhenzhen.

Shen Ran: [You quickly figure it out. How can we exchange back?]

Shen Ran: [My stomach is killing me, and I feel like I have no strength. What kind of waste body do you have?]

Shen Ran: [I’m sick of this class. I don’t care. I’m skipping right now!]

Li Zhenzhen: [No. If you dare to skip this class, I will go home right now and turn myself in to your Dad for skipping class and smoking. I believe your Dad will discipline ‘me’ well then.]

Shen Ran: […You’re heartless!]

Shen Ran: [Then, do something about this. I don’t want to stay inside your shitty body a moment longer.]

Li Zhenzhen: [Do you think I want this to happen? Take good notes for me. I don’t want to fail the midterm exam.]

There was no further response from Shen Ran.

Li Zhenzhen chuckled lightly as she watched the phone go quiet. She could imagine that Shen Ran was fuming and desired to smash her phone. In fact, when she first learned about Shen Ran, she only thought that he was an arrogant little bully who relied on his family’s wealth and power to act as he pleased and did not take other people seriously. However, after getting in touch with him, she realized that Shen Ran was not so bad. He was a bit grumpy, but sometimes a bit cute, like now, he was afraid of his parents, which was quite cute.

The classmates and teachers were shocked to find that Li Zhenzhen, who had always been a good student, frequently deserted and dozed off in class, while Shen Ran, who had always disobeyed rules and liked to sleep and play games in class, sat upright, and was he taking notes?!

Did the sun rise from the west today?

Even the three pals who often played with Shen Ran were amazed, “You are not going to join us at the internet cafe this afternoon?”

Li Zhenzhen glanced at them from Sg Ran’s body, “No, I have to attend class.”

The three brothers: “……?”

Li Zhenzhen glanced at them, with a sliver of resentment. These people had a good family background, rich families, and ample learning environment, but they didn’t want to study. Why did they just want to play all day long? “You guys also come to class with me. The midterm exam is coming soon. Take more time to review. Don’t fail the exam.”

The three brothers: “……?!!”

They were struck silly by Li Zhenzhen. Shen Ran, that Shen Ran, who dragged them out all day fell in love with learning and even demanded them to study hard together?!

Did someone knock his brain a bit too hard?

Still, they only dared to spit out roast in their heart, but didn’t dare to say it to his face.

Li Zhenzhen looked at their bewildered expressions and thought to herself, forget it. Why should she care whether they learn or not? They have plenty of money in their family, and even if they were behind in learning, they could live a lifetime wealthier than her. It would go beyond the limit to persuade them again. 

“Suit yourselves. I want to study now. You can play if you want.” She waved her hand and let them play on their own, then buried herself in reading again.

But Li Zhenzhen forgot that at the moment, she was Shen Ran. Although Shen Ran looked elegant and young, his face was a bit fierce due to his arrogant nature. When he waved his hand and let them play on their own, he gave people a feeling of extreme coldness, as if he was extremely disappointed with them.

They were startled and hurriedly appeased, “No play, no play. What’s so fun about playing games. We will go study right away!”

“Yes, yes, yes. We will study, we will definitely study, and strive for a good result in the mid-term exam!”

“Is that so? Games aren’t as fun as learning?”

Li Zhenzhen was somewhat surprised. She felt relieved that at least they could still be taught and persuaded. She smiled, “Mn, if you have any questions, you can ask me.”

They were tempted to say that, you are just another learning scum like us and you tell us to ask you questions? Is there a misunderstanding here?

In the end, they had no courage to confront the Demon King Shen Ran and stammered, reaching for the brand-new books under their desks. Their faces wrinkled into a ball as if the book had done the crime of executing their whole family. They held a deep hatred towards it, to the point where either you die or I die!

But the Demon King had spoken, could they say no? No.

When Shen Ran regained his body and was able to be as unrestrained as always, he saw himself holding a pen in his hand, writing something in an upright position. Wordlessly, he threw the pen and flipped through the book. Sure enough, he saw that the last few pages had notes written in neat and elegant writing.

And, not only ‘he’ studied, his buddies were all holding books and asking questions to him? What f(x)? What algebra? What was that shit? How could he understand that?! What kind of poison did they take?!

“The fuck you are doing?” He clenched the book in his hand, with an expression of ‘have you lost your mind?‘

“…?” The guys were all startled by the disdainful appearance of Shen Ran. They were a bit wronged. “Weren’t you the one who told us to study hard and make progress every day?”

Shen Ran: “…?!” He didn’t need to make a guess. It must be Li Zhenzhen’s handiwork, she was so heartless that she forced his friends to attend class!

“So what if I said that? I don’t want to learn now,” He could only take the bullet. Anyway, the emotion of Shen Ran the Bully was always unpredictable, and no one dared to refute him. “I want to go to the internet cafe now, will you follow me or not?”

What else could they do? Follow, of course.

Besides, compared to playing, who would miss those cursed books?

Shen Ran had been in pain all morning, and now he returned to his body, he got the feeling of liberation. He wanted to jump high to cheer on his freedom.

————·————·————

The moment Li Zhenzhen returned to her body, she immediately sensed the discomfort, But, unlike Shen Ran, she was used to the pain. She began to carefully inspect whether Shen Ran had properly taken notes for her. They exchanged bodies for two classes, one for Math and one for English, both of which were regular classes. She didn’t want to miss them, but unfortunately, her body had switched and she was helpless. And apparently, she put her expectations too high, how could Shen Ran be kind enough to take notes for her? Instead, he drew several pig heads and wrote the words ‘I am a pig‘ in her book.

She ground her teeth and could only resort to borrowing her deskmate’s notes. Halfway through copying the notes, Shen Ran came over in a high profile to pick up his phone.

Ye Wei was the first to notice him and appeared in front of Shen Ran with a sweet smile on her face, chirping happily, “Shen Ran!”

She was already pretty, with her beautiful soft wavy hair tied into a high ponytail. When she jumped over, her hair bounced, making her lively and lovely, full of youth, and incredibly beautiful.

Previously, Shen Ran also thought Ye Wei was beautiful, but he had seen many beautiful women and didn’t think Ye Wei was no different. Moreover, she always popped up in front of him whenever wherever, which irritated him.

And now, he felt that Ye Wei was quite distinct from the others because she turned out to be a double-faced person. He witnessed her threaten Li Zhenzhen to stay away from him with his own eyes.

He furrowed his brow, “I wasn’t looking for you.”

Ye Wei: “…” Her smile froze on her face, and her complexion instantly paled. Her dark round eyes stared at him, slowly piling up a mist of water. She looked at him with both hurt and sadness, feeling aggrieved.

If it were in the past, Shen Ran might have felt a bit guilty, but having seen her strutting around threatening people, the guilt quickly evaporated.

Ye Wei blinked her eyes at him, and cried out with grievance, “Shen Ran, why are you angry with me? What did I do wrong?”

Shen Ran: “…”

He was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Wei’s hurtful teary eyes, he felt like he was really gone too far? But when he thought about how Ye Wei was bullying Li Zhenzhen, he instantly returned to his senses, “What am I angry at you for? I didn’t come to see you, I am here for Li Zhenzhen.”

He shouted loudly, “Li Zhenzhen, come here,”

He directly ignored Ye Wei.

His voice caused Li Zhenzhen to be the center of everyone’s attention, and Ye Wei stared at her indignantly. 

“No way? Shen Ran and Li Zhenzhen?”

“Are they secretly dating”

“No way?! Doesn’t puppy love can get us expelled?”

“Do you hear yourself? Who has the guts to expel Shen Ran?”

“……”

Li Zhenzhen had no choice but to walk to the door and whispered, “Didn’t you agree not to come to me?”

“I can do whatever I want, I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” He reached out and snatched the phone from Li Zhenzhen’s hand, then handed her phone to her. “Bye.”

He waved his hand and went away with a carefree expression on his face.

Li Zhenzhen: “…” 

She watched as Shen Ran left before she returned to the classroom in full view of everyone. She noticed that Ye Wei was glaring at her fiercely and then turned her back on her in anger. She thought about what made Ye Wei pissed off at her, but then again, what did it have to do with her?

Whether Shen Ran likes her or not was not up to her to decide.

Shen Ran walked away with light steps and unknowingly glanced back at the door. Li Zhenzhen had returned to the classroom, only Ye Wei was still standing at the door with her head hung low, motionless as if she was hurt deeply by his words. 

But he didn’t even say anything hurtful……

————·————·————

Li Zhenzhen’s deskmate, a chubby guy, curiously asked her, “Li Zhenzhen, how did you get to know Shen Ran? You even switched phones, is your relationship with him so close?

Li Zhenzhen smiled without answering, she concentrated on the notes and her deskmate didn’t pursue the question. 

It’s one thing not to take any notes during class, but the terrifying thing was, she, the good student in the teachers’ eyes, got called to the office because she slept during class. 

Li Zhenzhen admitted her mistake with a good attitude, “I’m sorry, I’m feeling unwell today. I didn’t mean to sleep in class, it won’t happen again.”

Li Zhenzhen had always been a model student, so when she said this, the teacher naturally believed her and told her to go to the infirmary if she was really uncomfortable, “By the way, what’s going on with you and Shen Ran?”

Li Zhenzhen said, “Nothing, he and I just accidentally picked up the wrong phone. I’m not familiar with him.”

The teacher was skeptical, but it was related to Shen Ran, so she could only say with a serious heart, “Shen Ran is Shen Ran, and you are you. Study well, okay?”

Li Zhenzhen’s cheeks reddened, “I understand, I will study well.”

“Well, you can go back.”

“Thank you, teacher.”

It wasn’t until she left the office that Li Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew that not long after her sigh, Ye Wei approached her.

She interrogated, “Did you speak ill of me to Shen Ran?”

Li Zhenzhen frowned, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“If it weren’t for what you said, why would Shen Ran dislike me out of the blue?”

“Shen.”

“Do you think I’ll believe it?”

“Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Faced with Ye Wei’s incredulous gaze, she didn’t say much and lifted her foot to leave.

Li Zhenzhen didn’t like Ye Wei. All Ye Wei did every day was talk about limited-edition bags and jewelry. Now, Ye Wei even came to disturb her, increasing her dislike towards Ye Wei.

She couldn’t help but take another look at Ye Wei and discovered that Ye Wei, who had just been miserable and sorrowful at the door, was silently resting her cheeks and looking at the blackboard, thought unfathomable.

Was she thinking of Shen Ran?

All in all, she felt that Ye Wei’s so-called sincerity towards Shen Ran was mingled with a lot of exaggeration and deliberation.
