Yong Shanling stared at the bookshelf in shock. She could now look level with its fifth shelf. Had she experienced a second growth spurt after that battle?
A delighted smile spread across Yong Shanling's face. With a little self - satisfied sway of her hips, she walked into the toilet.
As she passed by the mirror, she took a quick glance and was about to head for the toilet when, all of a sudden, she froze in her tracks.
Why did it seem like she saw Shu Shu?
A man?!!!
Forgetting about her bursting bladder, she quickly looked down and saw that she was wearing a cotton pajamas. Her body was full of well - defined muscles, and her chest was as flat as the horizon.
Yong Shanling reached down in horror. Just then, the butler, who was watering the flowers outside, heard a scream as shrill as a woman's coming from his usually calm and aloof young master.
"What's going on?" A soft, wispy voice sounded. Then Yong Shanling saw a girl who looked exactly like herself walking over with a tightly furrowed brow.
Yong Shanling tentatively called out in a soft voice, "Shu Shu?"
Mu Yijie's eyes widened almost the moment she spoke. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
"Who are you?" Mu Yijie, in Yong Shanling's body, his eyes showing a fierce look like a wolf.
Yong Shanling, with Mu Yijie's cold and ascetic face, looked at Mu Yijie pitifully.
"I think, because of the explosion of the Nightmare Beast, we accidentally swapped bodies."
Mu Yijie watched as his own face made a pitiful expression. There was an inexplicable allure that made one want to ravage it.
He felt his head spinning. His face darkened as he said, "Ling'er, we'll find a way. Don't... don't cry."
He couldn't bear to look at his own face. Damn it, how could this happen?
Hearing his own soft and sweet voice, his face darkened even more. Damn it, was there any way to fix this? Did he have to stay in Ling'er's body forever? Not to mention work, he couldn't even handle his daily life.
Yong Shanling's face looked strange. She hesitated, looking at her own body and stammering, "Shu Shu, I need to use the toilet. Maybe we can continue discussing later."
Mu Yijie somehow saw a hint of innocence in his slanting phoenix eyes. He felt dizzy. Ling'er was so innocent. Did she have to see his body before they even officially got together?
"Wait. How can you use my body to go to the toilet? I'll help you." Mu Yijie, with a cute face, followed her seriously into the toilet. Yong Shanling kept her eyes closed the whole time while Mu Yijie helped her relieve herself.
Finally, they came out and sat on the sofa. Yong Shanling sat cross - legged, lying on the armrest of the sofa, still looking at her own body with a resentful look in her eyes.
"My body... Shu Shu, are you not going to take a shower or change clothes? I'm a very hygienic person. And..."
Mu Yijie had a bad feeling. His eyelid twitched as he squeezed out from his throat, "And what?"
"And I might get my period in a couple of days." Yong Shanling blurted it out with her eyes closed. Thinking that she wouldn't have to experience the pain of dysmenorrhea this time, she was overjoyed. Moreover, she was now 1.9 meters tall.
Yong Shanling was 1.9 meters tall.
Yong Shanling was 1.9 meters tall.
Yong Shanling was 1.9 meters tall.
Important things must be repeated three times. Yong Shanling stroked her long legs proudly. So what if she became a man? This was Shu Shu's body. She had been longing for it for a long time. Now she could openly enjoy the advantage of height and experience the identity of a CEO. It couldn't be better.
Mu Yijie looked at his Ling'er's happy face in despair. He knew exactly why she was happy, but the feeling of having to look up when speaking was really unpleasant.
After discussing for a while, they decided to act as each other's identities until they changed back. Moreover, they'd better not be separated in case of any emergencies.
After that, Assistant Fang noticed that his CEO presided over meetings less often. And every time he did, his expression was even colder and he talked even less. On the contrary, Miss Yong often pointed out mistakes sharply, and she was becoming more and more like his boss.
Was this the so - called phenomenon that family members would become more and more alike?
After sending his boss home, he thought he saw his boss showing a simple (stupid?) smile. He shook his head. His wise, valiant, ascetic and cold boss would never smile like that. It must be because the weather was too hot recently and he was suffering from heatstroke.
"Phew - finally free." Yong Shanling stretched out her long arms and legs and slumped on the sofa like a pile of mud. In order not to let the cat out of the bag today, she had forced herself to keep a serious face all day long and exuded coldness as if it were free.
She was really tired, okay?
"Sit up straight. The butler will be here soon." A muffled female voice sounded. Even though he tried his best to suppress it, he couldn't hide the sweetness in his voice. Instead, he sounded like a pouting sweetheart.
Yong Shanling looked up and saw her Shu Shu wearing a shirt and long pants with her cute face. He looked like a real straight - laced man.
However, in Mu Yijie's opinion, he couldn't wear men's clothes for the time being, but wearing a shirt and long pants was his limit. He would never wear a skirt!
Yong Shanling shifted her gaze away regretfully. She took out her Bestiary of Mythical Beasts again and turned to the page about the Nightmare Beast to study it carefully, hoping to find a solution.
There were many different descriptions of the Nightmare Beast, but according to this book, in ancient times, all realms developed rapidly. Later, in the process of continuous development, the Nightmare Beast was born. It was neither a demon nor a spiritual beast.
It was a creature that relied on humans for survival. Generally, Nightmare Beasts didn't cause much harm, but some Nightmare Beasts would create nightmares to devour human merits and virtues in order to cultivate a human form...
Yong Shanling skipped all these and looked for some past examples. After looking at several, she finally found a case where two people accidentally swapped bodies. In the end, they burned down their house and then returned to their original bodies.
Mu Yijie thought about this story thoughtfully. Burn it? "Was it the house where all this happened or something in the house that needed to be burned?"
Yong Shanling propped up her chin and pouted, "It doesn't say so in the book."
Mu Yijie's eyelid twitched. He shifted his gaze away. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Hey, little Ling'er. Have you missed me recently?"
