Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Is something wrong?"

"Isn't it Chuhua's birthday today? Do you want us to have a small get-together, just the three of us?"

Aragaki Ai replied instantly.

At this moment, the boy was sitting in the passenger seat of a sports car, watching the scenery around him quickly receding.

At this moment, Xiangzi's attention was attracted by the ringtone again. He opened his mobile phone and was stunned for a moment.

So, is Chuhua celebrating his birthday?

She would never forget it in previous years, but in the past month, she had experienced so many twists and turns that she had actually forgotten about it.

She was a little annoyed, looked at her wallet, and showed an unhappy expression again.

Mujica and Starry both receive salaries at the beginning of the month, and now it's the end of the month, and there's not much money left.

The next few days are going to be tough.

Even so, she changed her clothes and prepared to pick a gift for Chuhua before meeting her father.

As for food...I have no spare money.

She left the room and glanced at the place where the two of them had agreed to go. Fortunately, they were not going there directly to eat. She would just refuse then.

Ai Aragaki returned to the office and made an appointment with Chuhua. After thinking about it, she decided to buy a gift.

He was very casual and chose a cute water cup and asked the clerk to help him pack it.

In a blink of an eye, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Aragaki Ai was about to idle and work, so he logged into Xiangzi's account and saw a man in his sight.

Volume 1: Chapter 184: Disgust

"Love!" Xiangzi's voice sounded in his mind, revealing a hint of joy.

At this moment, she finally understood why Mu liked to let Aragaki Ai control her body.

This feeling of being able to entrust one's life to others allows him to help face people he doesn't want to face.

That's great.

Ai Aragaki didn't say anything, but her eyes fell on the man, looking him up and down.

He was a man wearing a brown jacket. His clothes were very dirty and the shirt underneath was full of wrinkles, but it didn't look old. It was obvious that he had been living a life of luxury for many years and probably couldn't even wash his clothes clean.

He was sitting at the other end of the street, with an unshaven beard and tired, red eyes, and a puppet beside him.

This guy looks more like a homeless person.

When Aragaki Ai saw him, he also saw "Xiangzi", stretched out his hand and opened his lips.

"Xiangzi?"

It's a bit too eye-catching on the street, but it's not easy to move to another place.

Ai Aragaki nodded and agreed, extending her hand to the man, her eyes falling on the doll beside her.

Isn't this the doll from Xiangzi's previous lock screen? It seems to have appeared in the anime as well.

It seems that it is really important to Xiaoxiang.

He asked, "Give me something?"

"..."

The man seemed to want to say something, but his attitude was firm. He didn't want Xiangzi to be involved with his current self.

He handed the doll to the "girl" and finally opened his mouth to ask her a question.

"Where have you been living lately?"

"Friend's house, don't worry, I will go to class normally next semester. I have already found a new school."

The person who spoke was Aragaki Ai, and her tone was very firm, saying that he could not be allowed to rely on Xiangzi.

"......." He sighed, "I actually have no place to live and I've spent all my money. Do you have any money left? Can you give me some?"

"You're a grown man, why don't you find a job? Take care of yourself. I'm leaving."

Aragaki Ai turned around and held the doll.

Xiangzi's father caught up with him and asked in a panic, "You really don't have any money? We can rent a house so you don't have to live with your friends."

"It's none of your business, just take care of yourself."

Ai Aragaki has no mercy at all. An adult man can find a job to support himself anywhere. If you think these jobs are lowly, it means you are not starving to death.

He got the doll and wanted to get rid of Xiangzi's father and replace it with his own body. Aragaki Ai had already run away, but he couldn't get rid of Xiangzi's body.

"Why are you following me all the time?" Aragaki Ai's tone became impatient as she looked at the man.

"...I, I am your father after all, don't you care about me?"

The man became excited, probably because he had never expected his daughter to be so indifferent. She hadn't even seen him for more than a month, and had avoided his calls and messages.

If he hadn't tried his best to get Xiangzi's doll back, he probably wouldn't have seen it this time.

"You're an adult? You ask me for money?" There was obvious disgust on Aragaki Ai's face. No matter what Xiang's father was like before, he now obviously seemed like a daughter who depended on him.

Really bad.

After walking for a while, the other party still refused to give up. When Aragaki Ai passed by a policeman, she directly asked the young policeman for help.

"Well, I don't know him. He's been following me for a long time. Can I trouble you?"

"That's him, isn't it?"

When the young policeman came over, Xiangzi's father ran away without any explanation.

This action caused Aragaki Ai to think deeply, and she felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Is this okay?" Xiangzi still felt a little bit reluctant, after all, he was his father.

"It's okay. He has to be able to support himself. Xiaoxiang is working for himself, so he needs it even more."

Aragaki Ai comforted her, "You don't have to bear the burden of an adult man's life. People only need to be responsible for themselves."

“…” She didn’t say anything else.

"Where's Lixi? How's things going over there?" He changed the subject, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Solved..."

Xiangzi didn't know why Aragaki Ai felt particularly alienated from her father, but for now, she was really disappointed with her father.

If there is no love, I'm afraid, if I really have to take care of him, can I take care of two people?

She thought again of her empty wallet.

Love seems right.

The sun was so hot at two o'clock in the afternoon that people had to find a shady place to avoid sweating too much.

He bought a bottle of lemon juice from the vending machine in the corner and took the opportunity to look at Xiangzi's wallet, but there was nothing left.

Fortunately, I have some money from him.

"You're going back home in the evening, right?" Aragaki Ai unscrewed the bottle cap and asked while drinking.

"Yeah." She will go and deliver the gifts.

"How about we go to the cafeteria for dinner?" Aragaki Ai took the initiative to invite and chose a place that didn't charge money.

"......"

Xiangzi had already guessed the reason why he said that and refused decisively.

"No need, you and Chuhua go."

When he said this, there was a hint of anger in his tone, but even Xiangzi himself didn't notice it and thought it was normal.

"Are you angry?" Aragaki Ai felt something was wrong. If she really left Xiangzi behind and went to celebrate Chuhua's birthday alone, it would probably be difficult to coax him.

"No."

He laughed at Xiangzi's calm voice and threw the empty bottle into the trash can.

"I'm not angry. Then I'm going to celebrate my birthday with Chuhua. Let's choose a nice restaurant."

"you......"

Xiangzi wanted to say something, but he couldn't find any identity. If he could still control his body, his cheeks would definitely turn red.

Ai Aragaki put on a wicked smile and used a sarcastic voice to deliberately tease her.

"Eh? Didn't Xiangzi say he wasn't going?"

"Humph."

"Okay, come with us to the cafeteria. This is an employee benefit. You can eat here every day."

Aragaki Ai felt that the teasing was almost over, "If Xiangzi doesn't go, Chuhua and I will be unhappy."

"......"

Xiangzi's mood was very complicated at this moment, and finally he fell into silent silence.

After going through this circle, the unhappiness I had felt towards my father had completely disappeared.

"If you don't say anything, I'll assume you admit it." Aragaki Ai took out her mobile phone and sent a message in the small group, changing the meeting place to the office.

Chu Hua replied quickly, and there was an extra line of text in the dialog box, and only one read message.

"Okay, I'm fine."

"See you tonight."

After Aragaki Ai replied, she stopped looking at her phone and glanced at the time.

Two hours later, he returned to his body and the first thing he did was run downstairs to buy a cake.

You can eat in the cafeteria, but at least there is a cake.

He carried the cake back to the office and borrowed the cafeteria's refrigerator to temporarily refrigerate it.

P.S. Thank you all for your votes, blades, subscriptions, and thank you Tianyu Moxiao for the spicy strips.

Volume 1: Chapter 185 Birthday

Backstage at work, lounge.

The warm light hits my cheeks, giving me a slightly warm feeling, but it's ultimately fake.

Chuhua looked at Xiaoqun's dialog box and couldn't help but smile. It was great to be able to celebrate her birthday with Xiaoxiang and Ai.

Hearing footsteps outside the door, he quickly returned to normal and closed the phone interface.

She squinted her eyes and pretended to be dozing off naturally.

The door was pushed open.

"Hatsuka?" Mana walked into the room with two bottles of water. "Would you like some? How's your throat?"

"No, it's okay."

She opened her eyes and gave a professional smile, "It's not that serious. My throat has been pretty good lately."

"You still have to pay close attention."

Mana smiled, placed the water bottle on the table, and then asked, "Can we rest tonight? Chuhua, do you want to go out together?"

"No, I have an appointment with someone else."

At her refusal, the donut lady's voice stretched out, and she pulled a wrapped gift from her bag and placed it on the table.

"I also want to celebrate your birthday, so I have to give you the gift first."

"Huh?" Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, then his smile became much more sincere. He said thank you and accepted the gift generously.
