With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 116
“It’s true, I was found. Qin Zhizhi told me herself that I was left in a trash can, and she took me in because she couldn’t bear to leave me there.”
An Xiaoyu’s voice on the other end of the line sounded dejected.
“And then? What’s the point of telling me this…?”
Xia Xi didn’t understand why An Xiaoyu was telling him all this. He wasn’t on a blind date; her background didn’t matter to him at all.
“Could I ask you to go to the city hospital this afternoon…”
Because the previous “Goblin Cave Exploration Game” took the whole night, it was now morning.
“Go to the hospital?”
Xia Xi wondered if this girl had some health issue that required regular hospital treatment? It couldn’t possibly be to get treatment for her parents, could it? She didn’t seem to get along well with them.
One was a gambler father who often demanded money and abused her, the other was a mother she referred to by her full name… it was hard to imagine they had a good relationship.
“Yes, to the hospital.”
An Xiaoyu seemed to be nodding on the other end, causing a rustling sound against the phone.
“Under the pillow, there’s a bank card. Could you please use it to pay the fees for the patient in bed number 33?”
So it really was about using money for someone else’s medical treatment.
Xia Xi minimized the call screen and checked the balance on the phone he was holding.
Hmm, only five bucks left. The rest had just been transferred away by An Hu.
So… this must be her secret stash?
“Alright, no problem.”
Xia Xi didn’t press An Xiaoyu for more details. Everyone has their own secrets.
Judging by her hesitant tone and her earlier desperation to get her body back, he could guess that the person in the hospital was very important to her, but she didn’t want anyone to know she was secretly paying their fees.
Since she wasn’t willing to share, he wouldn’t ask.
“Thank you…”
Huh? This little girl, who had been bickering with him throughout the “Goblin Cave Exploration Game,” actually knew how to say thank you?
A smile tugged at the corner of Xia Xi’s mouth.
“What? What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly, could you say it again?”
Hearing the teasing tone in Xia Xi’s voice, An Xiaoyu immediately realized he was trying to mess with her. She stomped her foot in frustration.
“Piss off, you garbage admin!”
Somehow, using Bai Xiaocha’s weak, soft voice to curse just didn’t carry much impact~
After yelling, An Xiaoyu suddenly realized something and quickly added,
“Sorry… I didn’t mean to curse at you, I…”
How could Xia Xi not understand what she meant?
She was probably afraid he’d get angry and not go to the hospital. But if he promised to do something, how could he back out just because of a few harmless words?
Besides, with Bai Xiaocha’s voice, even if she said things like “Baka! Hentai! Urusai!”, it would sound less like an insult and more like a coquettish complaint or acting cute.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go this afternoon. More importantly, on your end, I estimate Bai Xiaocha will find you tomorrow. How you fulfill her wish is entirely up to you.”
The reason Xia Xi said she’d show up tomorrow was that he was sure his sister, Xia Yue, would first drag Bai Xiaocha (in his body) around their area to hang out, or maybe just stay in the house and play some galgames together.
“Mm, I’ll do my best.”
An Xiaoyu made an affirmative sound and hung up.
——-
In Bai Xiaocha’s room.
The little blue-haired loli stood in front of the mirror, somewhat dazedly looking at her current appearance.
Since Bai Xiaocha’s family wasn’t short on money, she was very well cared for. Her skin was fair and tender, her body was healthy, and it felt very comfortable to be in.
At least, An Xiaoyu felt it was much better than her own body, which suffered from long-term malnutrition and staying up late taking on jobs to earn money.
If possible, she’d really like to stay in Bai Xiaocha’s body forever, escaping that dark little den in Rong City for good.
Unfortunately, she had a reason she absolutely had to change back…
Now, back to An Hu.
This guy’s hands were stuffed into his shoes, serving as substitutes for walking.
Because his hands and the shoes didn’t match in size, walking often caused the shoes to fly off.
He had flown into a rage several times because of this, nearly throwing the shoes that he couldn’t keep on properly into the middle of the road and leaving them to their fate.
“What are you filming! Get the hell away from me!”
After chasing away the nth person who tried to take a picture or video of him, An Hu was so angry his chest heaved.
Those people were insane, saying they’d met an alien and that his hands were two big feet.
What nonsense! His hands were perfectly fine, so strong and powerful.
Due to the altered common sense, he believed his hands and feet were normal. But in the eyes of everyone else, he indeed looked no different from a monster.
“Damn it all (Not sure if swears are okay, so using this), why does everything feel so weird today? My hands and feet won’t work right.”
An Hu spat, then walked into a small building.
“Maybe I should go to the hospital and get checked out. This body of mine can’t afford to have problems; I don’t want to die young.”
He muttered to himself as he pushed open the door to a room inside the building.
“Brothers, come on, let’s continue. Today, I’m definitely going to win you all dry.”
With a bang, he shut the door behind him and locked it, effectively cutting off his own retreat in advance.
“You’re finally here, kept us waiting, brother. Come on, get to the table.”
Lu Renjia lowered his head, smoking a cigarette, and greeted An Hu.
Lu Renyi beside him nudged him with his elbow.
“Jia-ge, stop talking. Look at An Hu… doesn’t he seem a bit off…”
Lu Renjia looked up at An Hu, still mumbling, “What could be off? There’s no way this old guy ate some weird mushrooms or took a hit of something, right? With his shabby look, could he even afford two grams?”
However, when he got a clear look at An Hu, he jumped up from his stool in fright.
“Holy crap! What kind of monster are you?! I knew you weren’t human the moment I laid eyes on you!”
An Hu was baffled by his reaction and glared at him.
“What are you talking about? You’re the one who’s not human! Stop fooling around and sit down to deal the cards.”
Lu Renbing had already quietly moved behind An Hu, holding a wooden club.
“Deal my ass! Get yourself to a research institute!”
With a dull thud, An Hu collapsed straight to the floor.
“What are you standing around for? Call the police,” Lu Renbing said irritably.
“But, if we call the police, our…”
Lu Renyi pointed at the gambling table.
“Ah, it’s simple. We’ll just change rooms. This whole building belongs to Jia-ge anyway.”
“True… Tsk, who would have thought An Hu was hiding something like this, actually a monster with swapped hands and feet. Brothers, how much money do you think we can get if we turn him over to a research institute?”
