After Swapping Bodies with My Childhood Friend

4

Just a few days after starting classes, the fact that I was living in the apartment somehow got leaked out. People on the forum were saying that Hugh went to live off-campus and was sharing the apartment with his girlfriend.

I was shocked.

Who had such a big mouth?

But no one on the forum knew the girl was me.

In other words, everyone was just guessing.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they didn't know it was me.

Fortunately, the school didn't have a rule that students couldn't live off campus. I sincerely thanked the school's regulations.

Edwin Macy, Hugh's roommate, laughed and said, "You haven't been at school these days, and you have no idea. Rachel from the next class has been waiting downstairs in our dormitory building every day, wanting to see you."

His other roommate, Oswald Reynolds, said, "We told her that you weren't at school, but she didn't believe us. She found me and wanted to get your contact information from me.

"Well? Hugh? Can I give her your WhatsApp ID?"

I decisively shook my head and said, "No."

If Hugh knew that I friended someone on his WhatsApp, he would definitely scold me harshly.

"Impressive, Hugh. Even the campus belle doesn't catch your eye," Oswald joked. "You have really high standards.

"Is it true or false what they say on the forum? Do you really have a girlfriend?"

Everyone was gossipy, including boys.

Edwin said, "Is it that girl you've been having a crush on for a long time?"

Hearing that, even Edric Wilkinson, who was always silent, turned his head and looked over with curiosity in his eyes.

Hugh has a girl he's been having a crush on for a long time?

He hides it so well. Even I have no idea.

I said naturally, "No. Don't make wild guesses."

They looked very disappointed.

And I started to be absentminded in class, quietly searching for clues on Hugh's phone.

Who could be the girl he's secretly in love with?

I was somewhat concerned.

I felt very glad that for years, Hugh had let me use his phone whenever I wanted, so I didn't feel so guilty when searching for clues.

Finally, with my unremitting efforts, I found something.

In Hugh's album, there was a locked private album.

In the end, I couldn't unlock Hugh's private album.

I tried all the passwords, but none of them were correct.

The bell for the end of class rang, and I deeply understood how popular Hugh was.

I finally understood why he felt so annoyed when someone asked for his contact information.

I put on Hugh's cold face, broke through the crowd, and left the classroom.

Then I was stopped by Rachel in the stairwell.

"Hugh, do you want to have a meal together later? I know the beef at the third canteen is pretty good."

I refused her.

Because I saw Hugh walking out behind Rachel, with a particularly arrogant expression on his face. It was like he was saying, "If you dare to agree, you're done for."

Help!

Hugh, did you look at the shirt on you before you went out?

I'm a well-behaved and quiet girl. But now, from the way you wear it, I'm so rebellious!

It seemed Rachel didn't want to give up.

I didn't want to waste another second with her. I grabbed Hugh's hand and left in a hurry.

In the eyes of outsiders, Hugh rejected Rachel.

There was a burst of teasing from the crowd.

"What's going on? What's the relationship between Hugh and that girl?"

"It seems to be my classmate Diana."

Word got out, and on the forum, there was a post with the title "Hugh rejected the campus belle Rachel for Diana".

Thanks a lot, folks.

My name is on the forum for the first time.

Even worse, rumors spread that I was the other woman between Hugh and Rachel.

It was defamation!

It was slander!

Seeing that public opinion was heading in a direction that was getting stranger, I collapsed on the sofa, feeling helpless.

Hugh, wearing a skirt and crossing his legs, said, "Why are you panicking? Now I am in control of your body. They can come at me."

I could tell that he had adapted to cross-dressing very quickly.

I looked at Hugh with bitterness. "But have you ever thought about this? With those rumors, who will dare to pursue me?"

That was why I didn't want to have anything to do with Hugh after I entered university.

From elementary school to high school, whenever others found out that Hugh and I grew up together, girls would inexplicably become hostile towards me, and boys who used to have a good impression of me would disappear overnight.

As a result, I was still single.

"You have me, but you still want to date someone else?" Hugh clicked his tongue.

"This is not a decent thing to do, you crybaby."

He's such a liar.

He has a crush, and he never tells me. He even wants to use me as a shield to help him fend off unwanted suitors.

So, in his eyes, I'm just a sacrificial tool for his love.

I felt a bit aggrieved.

I quietly decided to find some time to clarify my relationship with Hugh.
