“Master, open up, ah~”
Bai Xiaocha was lying on a rocking chair, and next to her was Xia Yue, dressed in a maid outfit, holding a plate of already sliced apples.
“Nom nom, chew chew… Hey, Xiaoyue, you did a great job. Your master here rewards you with a kiss~”
Xia Yue, who had received the reward from Bai Xiaocha, looked absolutely delighted. She stood on her tiptoes and gave the former a kiss on the cheek.
“Thank you, Master~”
Enjoying Xia Yue’s feeding service, Bai Xiaocha then turned her gaze to her own feet.
There, another Xia Yue, dressed in a magical girl outfit, was gently massaging her feet with her soft little hands.
“Hey, did you even eat? Put a bit more force into it.”
Feeling a ticklish sensation on the soles of her feet without much pleasantness, Bai Xiaocha stomped her foot right onto the other’s face, her voice dripping with dissatisfaction.
“S-Sorry, Master. I’ll increase the pressure right away~”
Seeing the pitiful, wronged expression on magical girl Xia Yue’s face, Bai Xiaocha felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Being served by two Xia Yue’s at the same time—this was true heaven….

“Bro, tell me… Xiaocha hasn’t gone and messed up her brain from eating all those little cakes, has she?”
At the dining table, Xia Yue poked her brother Xia Xi’s forearm.
“It probably… hasn’t come to that?”
The brother and sister just stood there, watching Bai Xiaocha, who was munching on a little cake made by Luo Xinyu while staring blankly at her plate with a silly grin, both looking quite worried.
“If you ask me, you never should’ve told her about me wearing your skinsuit. See? You’ve gone and scrambled the kid’s brain.”
“Oh come on, Xiaocha is one of us. She’d find out about all this stuff sooner or later anyway. I was just helping her get a little heads-up~”
Hearing Xia Yue say that, Xia Xi really wanted to retort: Since when is Bai Xiaocha “one of us”?
She’s just his sister’s best friend, not family or anything.
Of course, there was no chance Bai Xiaocha would ever become their family. If it were just taking her in as a little foster sister, that’d be fine. But if Bai Xiaocha were to become Xia Xi’s girlfriend or wife, just walking down the street might get them stopped by the cops for questioning.
Even though Bai Xiaocha is already an adult, her appearance is what it is—she’s the kind of person who can buy a child’s ticket for traveling!
“Main course coming up! Don’t eat too many sweets, or you won’t have room for the meal!”
Just as the two were bickering, Luo Xinyu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of stir-fried shredded pork.
Ever since she learned to make desserts from Lin Xuelei, this young lady seemed to have unlocked some inner talent, picking up new recipes online incredibly fast.
Her dishes still didn’t look like much, but they sure tasted good.
Besides the shredded pork, Luo Xinyu brought out two more meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a pot of triple-delicacy soup from the kitchen.
Only once all the dishes were on the table and Luo Xinyu had sat down right next to Bai Xiaocha, giving her a few pats on the head, did the little blue-haired girl finally snap out of it.
She wiped away the drool that had somehow formed at the corner of her mouth and then stared intently at Xia Xi.
By now, Xia Xi and Luo Xinyu had already taken off the skinsuits they were wearing and returned to their original forms.
“Brother Xia Xi~”
Bai Xiaocha’s voice came out sickeningly sweet.
“Stop! Act normal. You’re scaring me.”
Xia Xi was getting chills from Bai Xiaocha’s stare. Why was this little loli acting just like Xia Yue when she was up to no good, even using that same cutesy, high-pitched tone?
“Ooh, ‘Brother Xia Xi~'”
Xia Yue chimed in from the side, imitating her best friend hitting on her own lovable brother, repeating Bai Xiaocha’s words in a mocking, sing-song voice.
This version of Xia Yue seemed so sly and catty that it was hard to tell who the real “Xiaocha” (a play on “tea” meaning dramatic/sly) was.
“Xia Yue! Don’t you mimic me!”
Bai Xiaocha flared up for a second.
Then she went right back to staring intently at Xia Xi.
“Brother Xia Xi, you’ve still got Xia Yue’s skinsuit, don’t you?”
Hearing Bai Xiaocha’s question, everyone at the table knew exactly what she was getting at.
She just wanted to borrow the skinsuit that belonged to Xia Yue to wear for a bit.
“Yeah, I’ve got it. But what are you planning to do with it?”
Xia Xi asked, even though he already knew the answer.
“Hehe… well… can I maybe wear it for a little while?”
As she spoke, Bai Xiaocha tried her best to widen her eyes to make them look big and shiny, clasped her little hands into fists under her chin, leaned her body slightly forward, and pursed her small lips ever so slightly.
Any lolicon uncle would’ve had his nose bleed at the sight.
But who is our Xia Xi? He’s a pro who’s seen plenty of girls! No way he’d be charmed by some simple cute act from Bai Xiaocha!
“Sure thing! I said so!”
With a grand wave of his hand, he tossed Xia Yue’s skinsuit right into Bai Xiaocha’s arms.
Cough, he’s no lolicon. He just saw how desperately Bai Xiaocha was begging—what’s wrong with granting a little girl’s wish?
“Bro! How could you give your own sister’s skinsuit to someone else!!!”
Xia Yue watched helplessly as her brother fell for her best friend’s charms, grabbing his arm and shaking it furiously.
“You gave my skinsuit to Luo Xinyu, didn’t you?”
Xia Xi got annoyed just thinking about it. Earlier, he’d seen Luo Xinyu sleeping soundly while wearing his skinsuit, only to wake up looking completely exhausted. Who knows what she’d been secretly up to for the past two days!
Thankfully, that was just a piece of clothing-like skinsuit, not her actual body. Otherwise, she’d probably be as worn out as she was that time after swapping bodies with Xia Yue!
“Oh, oh~ Sister Xinyu isn’t an outsider~”
Xia Yue’s gaze shifted away a bit sheepishly.
As someone who stayed home every day, she naturally knew what her dear Xinyu had been up to. But there was no way she’d tell her brother any of that.
Xia Xi heard her excuse and pouted.
Just earlier, Xia Yue had called Bai Xiaocha “one of us.” What a double-standard little sister.
“It’s just a skinsuit. I’ll give you Bai Xiaocha’s in return, no problem.”
They were such good best friends anyway. Swapping skinsuits to wear shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
“No way!”
Xia Yue refused Xia Xi’s proposed solution without the slightest hesitation.
“I want you, big brother, to wear Xiaocha’s skinsuit. And I want to wear yours~”
Whenever she made a request, Xia Yue always used that familiar, deliberately cute, soft and clingy tone.
Because she knew her brother could never resist a girl acting sweet.
Sure enough, Xia Xi nodded easily and agreed to her demand.
As far as Xia Xi was concerned, it wasn’t like this was his first time using Bai Xiaocha’s body. Things he was used to weren’t a problem at all~
What? Did he think he’d get bullied by someone just because he’d turned into Bai Xiaocha? As if. He wasn’t some weak, silly lolicon like Bai Xiaocha herself.
He was a proper, dignified tough guy. There was no way he’d get pushed around!
