With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 123

The next day.

Relying on her silver tongue and the fact that An Xiaoyu was still trapped in Bai Xiaocha’s weak body, Xia Yue successfully persuaded An Xiaoyu through a mix of coercion and bribery.

Although a certain tsundere who looked like a little blue-haired loli wasn’t exactly happy about it.

“Just wait until I get back to my own body! I’ll make you pay!”

An Xiaoyu clenched her small fists, mentally concocting all sorts of punishments for Xia Yue.

But… could her own malnourished body really resist Xia Yue’s tyranny?

“Little Maid Xiaoyu~ Why are you looking at me like that~? Can’t wait to start your job and play some fun games with me?”

Seeing Xia Yue’s smug, teasing expression, An Xiaoyu sweated heavily.

She began to doubt whether agreeing to go to Xia Yue’s house and be her exclusive playmate was the right choice.

“Who’s your maid! I’m a playmate,” she corrected, hugging her chest and letting out a “hmph!”

While making this gesture with Bai Xiaocha’s appearance, she looked incredibly cute, like a tsundere loli with a prickly personality who wasn’t very good at acting cute.

“Alright, alright, playmate, playmate~”

Xia Yue reached out and patted her head, eyes slightly narrowed with a doting expression.

Bai Xiaocha sat nearby, munching on potato chips and watching the show of Xia Yue bullying her own body.

Well… even though watching “herself” get bullied felt a bit strange, the bullied “herself” was really adorable.

They say humans have this evil desire to either destroy or tease things they find cute. Seems that’s absolutely true.

At least compared to ordinary cuteness, the look with wide, pleading eyes, a pitiful gaze, and a few glistening tears gathering at the corners… that’s what truly makes one’s heart race.

Remembering her own past desire to put an adorable little hamster in her mouth, Bai Xiaocha instantly understood the psychology behind why Xia Yue used to bully her.

“Hey, are we just staying home all day today? Feels a bit boring.”

Crunch, crunch.

The sound of chips being chewed continued.

It wasn’t her body anyway, so eating more snacks wouldn’t make her gain weight.

“You have some nerve saying that! What exactly is your wish? We’ve been serving you all morning and still haven’t managed to switch back!”

Seeing Bai Xiaocha’s leisurely demeanor, Xia Yue’s anger flared up. She immediately stopped tormenting An Xiaoyu, turned, and snatched the bag of chips from Bai Xiaocha’s hands, pouring the remaining contents into her own mouth in one go.

“My chips!”

Bai Xiaocha initially reached out to grab them back, but then thought better of it. It wasn’t the only bag, right? Couldn’t she just open another one?

However…

“All snacks are confiscated! Unless you figure out what your wish actually is.”

Xia Yue stuffed all the snacks into a large bag, then pulled out a small lock from somewhere and sealed the bag shut.

“How should I know?!”

Bai Xiaocha pouted, closed her eyes, and slumped powerlessly onto the sofa.

A world without snacks, without big sisters, and without being able to wear pretty dresses for cosplay… might as well be destroyed.

“I just wanted to experience what it feels like to be served, that’s all. I don’t have any other wishes.”

Bai Xiaocha was telling the truth.

But for some reason, having Xia Yue and An Xiaoyu work their fingers to the bone all morning hadn’t worked.

Maybe… the service attitude wasn’t great enough, leaving the silly loli feeling less than satisfied?

Xia Yue thought for a moment, and then a lightbulb went off in her head!

“I just remembered! I have a secret hideout! It’s guaranteed to make you, Xiaocha, feel so served and pampered it’ll be like you’ve gone to heaven!”

Bai Xiaocha opened one eye, half-doubting.

Seeing Xia Yue’s excited expression, which didn’t seem like a lie, she really became a bit curious.

What kind of place could be described by Xia Yue as heaven?

“Oh, right! Xiaoyu, you shouldn’t come. Looking like a loli, you’d be treated like a child.”

“Mm.”

An Xiaoyu didn’t mind.

In fact, she never really wanted to go out in the first place. As a gaming otaku who spent all day at home eating instant noodles and grinding quests, going outside was practically a fate worse than death.

As for Bai Xiaocha, she had already started imagining things…

A place where children aren’t allowed…

Could it be…?

“Xia Yue! I’m a law-abiding citizen! I absolutely will not go pay for… that kind of service!” she yelled.

Xia Yue really wanted to slap a [Confused Black Guy Meme] right onto Bai Xiaocha’s face at that moment.

How had she never noticed before that this girl, besides her subby nature, also had a pervy side? What on earth goes through that little head all day!

“Baka! How could I possibly take you to do something like that?!”

If she had those kinds of connections, she would have already used them last time when she was in her brother’s body to… Ahem, no! I, Xia Yue, am a good girl! How could I possibly defile my brother’s body! It’s all Xiaocha’s fault for leading my thoughts astray!

“If it’s not that, and you say kids can’t go, then it can’t be something like a roller coaster at an amusement park, right?”

It wasn’t unreasonable for Bai Xiaocha to overthink it. Nowadays, places that don’t allow kids are mostly those with slightly edgy or adult atmospheres—bars, dance clubs, basically anywhere with a hint of “danger.”

“Of course not! Just come with me and you’ll see.”

After saying that, Xia Yue ran off to Bai Xiaocha’s room to change clothes.

Their height and build weren’t too different, so she could mostly fit into the other girl’s cute clothes.

Although their builds were similar, sometimes just a few centimeters difference is all it takes to categorize someone as a ‘loli’ versus a ‘young woman’ in the eyes of others, leading to very different questions when entering various places.

For example, when Bai Xiaocha went shopping alone, shop clerks would usually ask, “Little girl, are you lost? Where are your parents? Do you need an uncle to take you to the police station?”

But for Xia Yue, it was different. It was usually, “Hey, miss, we have a new item that would look perfect on you!”

…

Bai Xiaocha didn’t change. She was still wearing the clean clothes she had gotten from Xia Xi’s room after swapping bodies the day before yesterday and playing those embarrassing games with Xia Yue.

“Alright, we’re off then, Xiaoyu. Be good at home. Who knows, you might be able to switch back any time now.”

“Mmhmm.”

An Xiaoyu, holding her phone and scrolling through videos, gave a noncommittal “Mmhmm.”

As far as she was concerned, she had already contacted Xia Xi, who had bought plane tickets and would arrive tonight to pick up Qin Zhizhi and bring her to Yu City. Everything was arranged, so she wasn’t as desperate to switch back as she was initially.

To be honest, the events of the past few days felt pretty surreal.

First, charging into a goblin cave with the Moderator, nearly ending up performing a ‘defeat CG’ dance for the goblins. Then, turning into a blue-haired loli and being bullied like a punching bag. Finally, stumbling into a stable source of income and securing better medical treatment for Qin Zhizhi.

She actually felt quite sorry for Xia Xi. After all, An Xiaoyu could tell that his offer to hire her as a playmate was really just an excuse to help her out financially.

Precisely because of that…

“Hmph, seeing as you’re a good person, I’ll do my best as a maid… no, as a playmate!”

A certain blue-haired loli, An Xiaoyu, blushed slightly.
