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

Seven days had passed. Xia Xi had returned to his own male body. Freed from the weight of his little sister’s long hair, he somehow felt unfamiliar with it.

And yet…

He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with his body. It was the type where he’d get winded after walking just a short while. His handsome face looked unnaturally pale, his lips had a purplish-black tint, and dark circles, like heavy eyeliner, rimmed his eyes.

“Thanks a lot, dear little sister,” he thought sarcastically. So she’d rewarded herself to death after swapping bodies, huh? And he hadn’t even used Xia Yue’s body to go skiing that many times…

“Mr. Ghost, long time no see!”

Feeling utterly miserable in his own body, Xia Xi had sought out an old Chinese doctor who prescribed some herbal medicine for recuperation. But given his severely depleted state, it was clear recovery wouldn’t happen overnight.

Times like these were perfect for using his system to hop into someone else’s body, enjoying their vitality and escaping the weakness of his own.

“Long time no see. Are you heading out, Xiaocha?” Xia Xi looked down at his current outfit.

It was unmistakably a cosplay costume.

“Yep! I’m going to a comic convention,” Bai Xiaocha’s soft, sticky rice cake-like voice sounded in his mind.

They were both little lolis, so why was the gap between his own sister and Bai Xiaocha so vast? If that annoying little brat at home could be as well-behaved as Xiaocha, he probably wouldn’t have ended up in such a physically depleted state.

Guided by Bai Xiaocha, he easily arrived at the convention venue. On the way, he didn’t encounter any uncles trying to hit on him or point fingers accusing him of being shameless.

However, walking around in this Kantai Collection – Island Wind cosplay outfit, people kept holding up their phones, taking pictures non-stop. Some even left their flashes on! How rude!

He finally understood why cosplayers disliked being photographed without permission.

You could clearly feel those blatant stares landing on you, a sensation so uncomfortable it was enough to make your skin crawl.

“Mr. Ghost, today’s goal is to get group photos with at least twenty people. Go for it~”

With this cute loli body, finding twenty people for photos should be a breeze, right?

And indeed it was.

Xia Xi didn’t even need to approach people; many came up to him specifically asking for合照 (group photos). Among them were quite a few pretty female cosplayers who liked to press their cheeks close together for the pictures.

“Got to admit, you’re really popular,” Xia Xi remarked to Bai Xiaocha in his mind.

“Hehe~ Of course I am!” Bai Xiaocha didn’t bother with modesty, letting out a proud hum.

“Ah! Mr. Ghost! Look over there!”

“Where?”

“To the left, look, look!”

Left? Xia Xi turned his head.

He saw a Kantai Collection – Atago cosplayer walking straight towards them.

“It’s a big sister! Mr. Ghost, go get close! Go for the cheek press!”

Bai Xiaocha was an expert at this “cheek press” thing, a seasoned veteran of comic conventions. But for Xia Xi, who had never actively sought out physical contact with others—usually just enduring it passively—he wasn’t keen on following Xiaocha’s suggestion.

[Detected the desire of the exchange target. Temporary quest activated.]

Xia Xi: “?”

Seriously? Had temporary quests been popping up a bit too frequently lately?

And what was this little loli Bai Xiaocha thinking about all day that actually managed to trigger the system?

[Temporary Quest: “Big Sister’s” Gift
