With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 118

“Her? Qin Zhizhi?”

Xia Xi hesitated for a moment before describing her actual condition—how she looked emaciated, with almost all her hair gone.

“You seem… concerned about her?”

“Who’s concerned about her! Geez, living like that… why doesn’t she just die already!”

Oh, I see. A classic tsundere.

The corner of Xia Xi’s mouth twitched upward.

She clearly cared about her mother, paying her high treatment fees every month, yet her mouth was telling her to drop dead.

“So, why didn’t you go see her yourself before?”

An Xiaoyu didn’t seem to know about Qin Zhizhi’s current state. Plus, Qin Zhizhi had been so surprised to see ‘her’ at the ward door, so Xia Xi immediately guessed that An Xiaoyu hadn’t seen Qin Zhizhi in a long time.

“I don’t care about her, why would I go see her? I don’t care what happens to a woman who does such shameful work.”

It seemed like hearing about Qin Zhizhi’s condition had made her emotional, but because of her prickly personality, that emotion morphed into “denial” aimed at Qin Zhizhi.

“Okay, okay, I get it. I’ll hang up now then?”

Xia Xi reluctantly agreed.

“Go ahead… Oh, wait! Can you cook?”

Cooking? Why was she suddenly bringing this up?

“Yeah, I can. Why?”

“It’s just… um… My body is too weak. Could you… make some chicken soup to nourish it?”

As soon as she said that, Xia Xi understood instantly.

What ‘An Xiaoyu’s body is weak and needs soup’? Yeah, right. She just wanted him to make chicken soup for Qin Zhizhi to help her recover. What an indirect little brat.

She was so confident when we were bravely charging through the goblin cave together in that dream, but now that she needs to ask for a favor, she gets all awkward.

“Ohhh, I can make chicken soup. But I can’t finish it all by myself. You don’t think… your mother would mind having my leftovers, do you?”

Stifling a laugh, Xia Xi spoke.

“She wouldn’t dare! How could someone like Qin Zhizhi dare to dislike soup made by her own daughter’s hands!”

“Mhmm, good.”

It sounded like… An Xiaoyu was in a better mood now?

So, dealing with a kid like this, you just have to go along with her. As long as you understand what she’s really trying to say, handling her becomes really easy.

…..

Early the next morning.

Ding-dong!

“Xiao Cha! I came to play with you! Open up!”

Who’s that?

An Xiaoyu got up and went to the door, feeling slightly anxious.

This person was most likely Bai Xiaocha’s friend. Could she really play the part of Bai Xiaocha well enough not to be discovered?

Maybe… pretend no one’s home?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, another voice came from outside the door.

“Xiao Cha, don’t hide! I know you’re home! There’s no way a homebody like you would go out alone to play!”

No way to avoid it?

An Xiaoyu took a deep breath, then put on a sweet smile.

“Coming, coming~”

Yes, that’s it. This is how a little loli should talk, all cute and moe. An Xiaoyu, you can do this!

Click.

The door opened.

Standing at the door were a boy and a girl.

The girl looked just a little taller than her current self and seemed lively and cute. The boy had a well-proportioned figure and a handsome face.

“Xiao Cha, huggy~!”

Xia Yue delivered a bear hug, pulling An Xiaoyu into her embrace, rubbing her cheek against An Xiaoyu’s face nonstop.

An Xiaoyu had never had such close contact with anyone before and instinctively wanted to push her away.

But then she thought, she is Bai Xiaocha now. Maybe this is just how Bai Xiaocha interacts with her friends. If she pushed her away, wouldn’t that ruin their friendship?

Fine, a hug is a hug. We’re both girls, it should be fine.

Thinking this, she actively wrapped her arms around Xia Yue’s waist, feeling the girl’s softness and sweet scent.

However, the next second, Xia Yue pushed her away abruptly.

“Aha! You! You’re pretending to be Xiao Cha, trying to get close to a beauty like me! You do have those kinds of feelings for your own little sister, don’t you? Tsk tsk tsk~ Onii-chan, you siscon, you hentai~”

What did that mean?

An Xiaoyu, now pushed away, was bewildered.

She completely failed to grasp what this girl was saying. But one thing was certain: the other party knew she wasn’t the real Bai Xiaocha. That whole performance just now was just to mess with her.

So that means…

An Xiaoyu remembered Xia Xi saying someone would come find her. It was probably these two.

She looked Xia Yue up and down, then shook her head.

This probably isn’t Bai Xiaocha. Bai Xiaocha wouldn’t make such a big deal out of being hugged by her own body.

So, the one who really swapped bodies must be this boy behind her, right?

An Xiaoyu’s gaze shifted from Xia Yue to “Xia Xi”.

In Xia Yue’s eyes, this series of actions—the head shake, the shifting gaze—looked like her “Onii-chan” dislike his little sister! After all, in her view, this “Bai Xiaocha” was her idiot older brother.

“You…”

“Are you Bai Xiaocha, right?”

Just as she was about to question what her brother meant, she heard An Xiaoyu address “Xia Xi”.

“Yes… Brother Xia Xi… It seems like we swapped bodies.”

Xia Xi?

So that admin’s name is Xia Xi? What a cute name, like a girl’s.

It wasn’t actually hard to tell that “Xia Xi” was Bai Xiaocha. His feminine posture and dazed, moe expression were completely at odds with his male appearance.

“I am not Xia Xi.”

An Xiaoyu’s statement stunned both of them.

“WHAT! You’re not Brother Xia Xi?!”

“You’re not my brother?! Then where’s my brother?!”

The two of them stared at this blue-haired loli with her calm expression, and their minds began to imagine some creepy old man occupying Bai Xiaocha’s loli body, and then… Ahem!

…

“Aha, so you’re a girl too, Xiao Yu. I thought…”

Bai Xiaocha scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed.

“Thought what?”

An Xiaoyu asked.

“Nothing, really! They were just my own imaginations, don’t mind them!”

How bizarre.

An Xiaoyu really couldn’t understand these kids’ train of thought.

Even though she was only nineteen herself, she was already a young adult who could earn money independently. Plus, growing up in her kind of family environment, she had to mature quickly.

“Speaking of which, if you became Bai Xiaocha, then where’s my brother? He didn’t… become you, did he?”

Xia Yue habitually poked An Xiaoyu’s cheek, resting her own chin in her hand.

“Mhm, I’ve already spoken to him on the phone. Don’t worry, he’s fine.”

An Xiaoyu thought Xia Xi’s sister was worried about her brother’s safety, so she offered reassurance.

“No, no, I’m not worried about him.”

An Xiaoyu: “?”

Seeing the other girl tilt her head in confusion, Xia Yue explained:

“I was just thinking, since my dear Onii-chan turned into you, who’s a girl… I wonder if he’ll… enjoy himself properly~ You know, in the MBS games I’ve seen, boys always do that kind of stuff~”
