In the pitch-black small room, a strong beam of light suddenly shone down from above onto Xia Xi’s face.
“I’m going blind, I’m going blind! Turn it off!”
He looked helplessly at the three people sitting across from him.
Earlier, in Bai Xiaocha’s dormitory, when the knife had transformed into a human and was discovered, he’d jumped from the window into the hallway and then run away naked.
Luckily, the dorm lights had been out, so it was dark and no one could clearly see what he looked like. However, a legend was sure to spread around Bai Xiaocha’s school about a guy in a cat-ear-and-tail costume breaking into the girls’ dorm late at night~
Anyway, after completing the mission, Xia Xi had returned to his own body.
And waiting for him was a meticulously planned session of being tied up and interrogated~
“Xia Xi, you’ve kept this from me for so long~”
Lin Xueling’s resentful gaze made Xia Xi’s heart tremble.
…..
Earlier that evening.
“Sister Xinyu, Xia Xi ge should be back soon, right? Should we go prepare dinner?”
An Xiaoyu asked Luo Xinyu while nibbling on some sugar-coated peanuts with her chopsticks.
It was already ten at night. No matter how late Xia Xi ge played around inside someone else’s body, he wouldn’t be this late getting back, right? Besides, he’d promised Xinyu jie he’d come back tonight to keep her company.
“What do you mean?”
Lin Xueling was a bit confused by An Xiaoyu’s question. Wasn’t Xia Xi just at home? Why would An Xiaoyu ask if he should be back soon? Did that mean after the two of them came to her place to learn cooking, Xia Xi had gone out to play by himself?
“Huh? Sister Xiaoxue, you don’t know?!”
Seeing Lin Xueling’s clueless expression, An Xiaoyu immediately realized she’d said too much. She’d thought that since there were no outsiders here, everyone must know about Xia Xi ge’s little secret. She never expected that her favorite sister Xiaoxue was completely in the dark!
“Don’t know what? Is there something you’re hiding from me?”
Lin Xueling was even more confused. She couldn’t even begin to guess what An Xiaoyu was talking about. After all, those two were the ones living under the same roof as Xia Xi every day, unlike her. So wasn’t it normal that she might not know some things about Xia Xi? Why did An Xiaoyu look so surprised?
Seeing Lin Xueling pressing for answers, An Xiaoyu quickly looked to Luo Xinyu for help.
Luo Xinyu just waved her hand, indicating it was okay.
For the young lady, Lin Xueling was one of the sworn sisters she’d personally chosen. Besides, Xia Xi had probably shown her quite a few of his amazing tricks already. Moreover, Lin Xueling wasn’t a big mouth; she wouldn’t go around spreading things. So telling her some things was fine.
Besides, even if she did tell people, who would believe it?
‘My male friend can swap bodies with beautiful girls’ – yeah, right, like you’re reading a novel!
“It’s nothing, just some stuff about Xia Xi’s special ability.”
“Special ability?”
Lin Xueling’s gaze also shifted to Luo Xinyu, momentarily stunned.
“Are you about to tell me that our world has superheroes or zombies or something?”
In Lin Xueling’s mind, Luo Xinyu was a wealthy heiress, part of the upper crust. She probably knew things ordinary people didn’t. Maybe superheroes like Captain America really did exist~
“It’s not that an exaggeration, it’s just Xia Xi.”
Luo Xinyu couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Xueling’s slightly nervous yet curious expression. See, university students nowadays have such vivid imaginations~
“You know Xia Xi can swap bodies with people, right?” Luo Xinyu asked instead.
“Swap bodies…”
Lin Xueling shook her head. “I didn’t know about swapping bodies, but we did swap identities before.”
Luo Xinyu was well aware that Xia Xi and Lin Xueling had swapped identities. She’d long suspected Xia Xi could swap certain things. From the information she’d gathered, their unusual behavior on a couple of days made it easy to guess they’d either swapped bodies or identities.
“Mm, that’s one of his abilities too.”
Luo Xinyu continued explaining. “Based on what Xiaoyu and I have figured out so far, Xia Xi can swap entire bodies or just body parts with specific people, and now with you, identities too.”
Lin Xueling felt her worldview being shaken. So… did that mean the young lady and An Xiaoyu had also swapped with Xia Xi?
She’d naively thought that her special experience with Xia Xi meant they were chosen, destined for each other. She never imagined…
Dammit!
Womanizing jerk!
Stupid Xia Xi!
She’d thought he was just a bit lecherous, liking a few more girls than average, making her competition a bit stiffer.
Turns out they were all girls he’d swapped bodies with!!!
…..
Back to the present.
“Haha… Xiaoxue, what are you talking about… I haven’t hidden anything from you?”
Xia Xi laughed nervously, pretending not to know what Lin Xueling was talking about. But seeing her increasingly resentful look, he couldn’t help but shiver.
“Xinyu, what exactly did you guys tell her? And why am I tied up? I just slept peacefully at home, I didn’t do anything!”
Even now, Xia Xi was still playing dumb.
He knew Luo Xinyu and An Xiaoyu knew he’d gone into someone else’s body. He’d come back on time at night, albeit a bit late, but that wasn’t a reason to tie him up.
Even if the two girls did tie him up for that reason, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But why was Lin Xueling here at his house so late at night? And with that look on her face!
Lin Xueling didn’t say a word. Instead, she grabbed Meow-senpai, held her up right in front of Xia Xi’s eyes.
“You were the one who made me swap bodies with Xiaoyou before, weren’t you!”
As she said this, Lin Xueling remembered how she’d been wiggling around in Xia Xi’s arms after becoming Meow-senpai. A blush crept onto her face.
How could this guy be so infuriating?
She vaguely remembered him checking if she was a boy or girl cat back then!
And he’d drawn on her human body’s face with a pen! At the time, she’d thought he was just playing a prank while she was asleep. Now she realized he’d done it right in front of her, so brazenly!
Wasn’t this just bullying her because she couldn’t tell him she’d turned into a cat!
What else had Meow-senpai done with her body back then?
Oh right! Used her tongue… licked his face or something…
Ahhh!!! Stupid Xia Xi! So you knew everything all along!!!!
“Swap bodies? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Xia Xi was still in denial!
“Um… Xia Xi ge… we already told Xiaoxue everything…”
An Xiaoyu couldn’t bear to see her Xia Xi ge kept in the dark like this and spoke up to remind him.
“What?! You guys ratted me out?!!!”
