With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 102

“Mhm, morning.”

Xia Yue replied to Lin Xuenning coldly.

She absolutely did not want her big brother to become a playboy and end up following in “Brother Cheng’s” footsteps. So, toward these girls he had charmed, Xia Yue was determined to stick to her strategy of giving them the cold shoulder!

“You seem really off today, so distant.”

Ever since that time they got caught in the rain and swapped identities, Lin Xuenning’s attitude toward Xia Xi had inexplicably changed from targeting him at every turn to deliberately creating “chance encounters.” Her way of speaking and acting had also shifted from her previously more aggressive tone to something soft and caring.

Regarding this, Lin Xuenning believed that since something supernatural like swapping identities had happened between them, it must be heaven’s approval! So, she needed to change her strategy and take the initiative!

She was convinced that after all these years of unique treatment, Xia Xi must have a special place for her in his heart!

Xia Yue was thrown off by her words.

Shouldn’t most girls, upon hearing such a cold response, feel like they’re “getting the cold shoulder” and then get angry? Why did this Sister Lin Xuenning instead sound like she was… whining?

“Mhm… something up?”

Xia Yue maintained her principle of saying little and giving the cold shoulder.

She believed her aloof attitude would eventually make this sister back off!

“Nothing much, really… Are you free today?”

Hearing this, Xia Yue immediately understood.

Hehe, little lady, you just want to ask my brother out for a meal, right? Maybe my foolish big brother would agree, but too bad for you, you’re facing Lady Xia Yue now!

“Busy.”

The icy words made Lin Xuenning feel a pang of heaviness in her chest.

It felt like Xia Xi really didn’t want anything to do with her today. She wondered why…

Wait!

She had seen Luo Xinyu leaving Xia Xi’s place before. Could it be that that vixen had charmed him away? Or maybe that fierce-looking bodyguard of hers had threatened him, telling him not to interact with other girls?

It had to be that!

That sinful woman! Lin Xuenning had sensed something was off back during the barbecue when she called Xia Xi aside to talk! To actually use such underhanded competitive tactics—how shameless!

“Then… can you tell me what your plans are for today?”

Class President Lin’s tone was inexplicably somewhat meek.

Xia Xi was soft-hearted. Seeing her pitiful look and hearing her pleading tone, he would definitely say a few more words to her~

“Nope.”

Xia Yue finished her bread in a few bites, picked up the cup of warm milk, and headed straight for her room.

Just then, Xia Xi returned to the dining table after warming up the milk.

“Lit—… Brother, aren’t you going to eat a bit more? There’s still plenty of bread!”

He had toasted six slices, originally thinking they’d have three each. But who knew that Xia Yue would only eat one slice?

Seriously, with the stomach he had now, how could he possibly fit five slices of bread plus a steamer basket of dumplings?

He rubbed his stomach, feeling troubled.

Lin Xuenning also felt that “Xia Yue’s” tone and behavior seemed off.

And… she seemed to remember that Xia Yue had very long legs… Shouldn’t she be taller?

Wait, no. Her current body proportions were just right. Rather than saying she’d gotten shorter, it was more like her legs had become normal.

“Xiao Yue, I remember doesn’t Xia Xi usually do the cooking? Why is it you today?”

This point also confused Lin Xuenning.

She remembered the one holding the spatula had always been Xia Xi.

There was another thing: the little sister Yue in front of her felt very familiar, almost like… she was Xia Xi.

But how could that be? Xia Xi was just sitting right next to her eating. He couldn’t possibly be little sister Yue.

Unless…

She inexplicably thought back to the time she and Xia Xi had swapped identities. Combining “Xia Xi’s” cold attitude toward her just now with the familiar feeling “Xia Yue” gave her, Lin Xuenning felt like she was grasping at a thread.

Before, she had suspected Luo Xinyu threatened Xia Xi, wanting to have him all to herself. But “Xia Yue’s” expression and actions just now gave her a new idea.

“Oh, big brother is usually very tired. As his little sister, making a simple breakfast is no problem!”

Xia Xi’s gaze remained fixed on the bread. He had glanced at Lin Xuenning earlier and noticed the girl was looking at him with a probing expression.

Don’t ask how Xia Xi could tell it was probing—with Lin Xuenning’s standard university student look of pure innocence, even the slightest change was extremely obvious.

“Is that so… Then, little sister Yue, could you come shopping with me? I’m so bored all by myself~”

“Mmm… I suppose I could…”

Wow, Class President Lin acting cute? Rare, truly rare!

Turning into his little sister actually had benefits like this? In Xia Xi’s opinion, Lin Xuenning would absolutely never act cute toward the male him. Now that he was a girl, he figured Lin Xuenning probably thought a slightly flighty tone was normal between two girls.

“That’s great! By the way, does that Uma Musume doll I gave you still have battery?”

Uma Musume doll?

If Lin Xuenning hadn’t mentioned it, Xia Xi would have completely forgotten about that thing. He remembered his little sister had probably taken it to play with.

“It should still have battery, I think…”

Lin Xuenning watched the little loli in front of her munch on bread while answering her question vaguely. Her pupils suddenly constricted.

The Uma Musume doll was something she had given to Xia Xi. How would little sister Yue know about it…? Moreover, she had just said “gave to you,” yet little sister Yue naturally continued the conversation.

Lin Xuenning increasingly felt her guess was correct…

“Mhm, okay then~”

She smiled and nodded, then leaned close to Xia Xi and pulled her into a tight hug.

“You… what are you doing?!”

Xia Xi, suddenly hugged, felt the softness against the back of her head and the strands of hair occasionally brushing against her cheek. Her entire body instantly tensed up.

“Ah, I just thought you were too cute, little sister Yue. I couldn’t help but want to hug you. Sorry, did I scare you?”

Lin Xuenning lowered her head apologetically, then released Xia Xi.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly. Just now, when she hugged this little sister, she noticed her first reaction was to clamp her thighs together. Furthermore, according to what Xia Xi had told her before, this little sister Yue should be a bit of a brat—she shouldn’t get nervous from a girl’s hug.

Which means… hehe…

Xia Xi felt a chill run down her spine, as if being watched by something. She quickly took a sip of warm milk, trying to warm up.

“Little sister Yue, is it really okay for your brother to just stay in your room like that? You are a girl, after all.”

Under Lin Xuenning’s gaze, Xia Xi quietly ate her breakfast for a while before suddenly hearing her speak.

“We’re siblings. It’s fine.”

Xia Xi knew that Xia Yue had definitely run off to her room to play games. No need to worry about it.

“Oh~ I see… Then how do you change clothes? You can’t possibly go shopping in your pajamas, right~”
