IN THE NEXT LIFE, WE'LL SWITCH
Body-Swap Couple) (Man into Woman) (Woman into Man)
Lily Snow took out the pair of jade pendants and asked softly,
“Tom, people say men should wear Guanyin and women should wear Buddha charms. Is there really any meaning behind that? What happens if a woman wears Guanyin, or if a man wears the Buddha?”
Tom grinned and teased,
“How about we switch? In the next life, I’ll be your wife, raising our children. You’ll be my husband, holding up the sky for me.”
Lily Snow laughed, nodding with delight.
“Alright, honey, it’s settled then. In our next life, I’ll be the man, and you’ll be the woman!”
“You’re amazing today, Rusty!” / Serena’s
Lily blinked. Rusty? That was this body’s name?
That sounded so plain… so awkward!
Just then, a soft, childish voice echoed in her mind:
> “Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned lots of praise today. Keep it up and you’ll soon unlock your powers! The world you’re in now is a small universe—a world created by an author’s story!”
Tanner had only been joking earlier, but at that moment, he suddenly remembered his daughter’s nickname.
“Honey,” he said to Hazel, “the strategist suggested the name Serena for our daughter. Let’s give her a nickname too!”
Hazel nodded warmly. “Alright, something simple and easy to raise, then!”
“How about… Rusty?”
“I like it!” Hazel agreed again without hesitation.
Tom and Lily’s eyes widened in shock.
Rusty? What kind of nickname was that—so rough and unsophisticated!
And from that day forward, she became known as Serena, the cherished daughter of two loving parents and the beloved little sister of eight twin brothers nicknamed Panmei’s brothers.
As for whether there were others of their kin out there — who knew?
