With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 140
An Xiaoyu spoke a bit loudly in her surprise.
Her roommates, sitting near Lin Xuening, kept casting puzzled glances their way.
“Xiao Xue, what did Xia Xi just call you?” Wang Yuting felt her worldview had been rocked.
A big, burly man calling her roommate, a young woman, ‘older sister’.
If they were real siblings, it would be one thing, but this…
Lin Xuening quickly leaned close to An Xiaoyu, covered her mouth with a hand, and offered her roommates an awkward smile.
“It’s nothing! We were playing a truth or dare game. He lost, so I made him call me ‘Sister Xiao Xue’. Who knew he’d say it so loud? So embarrassing.”
Wang Yuting eyed the two of them suspiciously for a moment.
“Is that so…?”
“Mmhmm, that’s exactly it.”
Since Lin Xuening said so, Wang Yuting naturally couldn’t press further.
After all, what business was it of hers to interfere with their couple’s affairs? Maybe Lin Xuening just liked being called ‘older sister’?
What was that called again? Oh right, a bit of playful fun.
In the eyes of their classmates, Class Monitor Lin and Xia Xi were essentially an official young couple.
What university student always sits with the opposite gender in every class, and under the guise of horseplay, constantly finds excuses for physical contact?
And most outrageously, such a wonderful class monitor like Lin was even bringing that guy breakfast every single day!
At first, the boys were all quite envious, but they got used to it eventually.
It made sense. If she wanted to bring him breakfast, what did it have to do with them? They weren’t anyone special to Class Monitor Lin and had no right to tell her how to behave.
Of course, these things inevitably came up in casual chats—just a bit of spice in daily life.
“Whew… that was close. Xiaoyu, you got way too worked up.” Seeing her roommates return to their books, Lin Xuening also breathed a sigh of relief.
An Xiaoyu wanted to speak, but Lin Xuening’s hand was still covering her mouth. So when she opened her lips, they brushed against the palm.
Almost as if possessed, An Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and gave the palm a little lick.
Hmm… salty…
“You… what are you doing?!” Feeling the strange sensation on her palm, Lin Xuening quickly pulled her hand back, her face flushing red, and wiped it on her skirt.
“Ah, sorry Sister Xiao Xue… I don’t know why I just…” An Xiaoyu’s face was a little red too.
She didn’t know why she had done that.
“Never mind.” Lin Xuening waved it off.
“Right now you’re Xia Xi, so just call me Xiao Xue or Xuening. Class Monitor Lin is fine too. Just don’t let anyone else hear you calling me ‘sister’ again; it could easily cause misunderstandings.”
Although she didn’t know how the other person had become Xia Xi, Lin Xuening wouldn’t pry intentionally.
Everyone had their own secrets. Trying to dig to the bottom of things would only annoy people.
When someone wanted to tell you, they would naturally do so. If they didn’t want to, asking repeatedly was pointless.
“Got it, Sister Xiaoxue… I mean, Xiao Xue.”
“That’s more like it.”
Normally, a tsundere like An Xiaoyu might have retorted with something like, “Why should I listen to you? I’m calling you Xiao Xue because I want to, not because you told me to!” But in reality, this girl was surprisingly docile in front of Lin Xuening.
“Are you going back for lunch?” Lin Xuening asked.
An Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
“I probably should, otherwise Brother Xia Xi might worry.”
This was true. If An Xiaoyu didn’t return home, Xia Xi might genuinely start overthinking things.
After all, a girl wandering around in a man’s body might, at some point, get beaten up for acting too effeminately.
“Hmm…” Lin Xuening pondered for a moment, then suddenly grabbed An Xiaoyu’s hand.
“Don’t go back. I’ll treat you to lunch—something every university student loves to eat. I’ll send Xia Xi a message; he should agree.”
Towards An Xiaoyu, Lin Xuening actually felt a bit of sympathy, given the other girl’s family situation.
Now was the perfect chance to treat her to a meal. It wasn’t too much, right?
And besides…
It kind of felt like she was on a date with “Xia Xi” this way…
“O… okay.” Only then did An Xiaoyu stop hesitating.
She was also quite curious about what every university student loved to eat.
Once she found out, she could learn to make it for Brother Xia Xi at home later, as a way to repay him for taking care of her.
As for whether she could cook… wasn’t Sister Xiao Xue right here? She’d heard Sister Xiao Xue practiced her cooking skills diligently every day. She could learn from her and would definitely be able to make delicious food someday!
“Then it’s settled.” Lin Xuening grinned.
Just then, the class bell rang. The teacher at the podium stood up, glanced at An Xiaoyu who had just arrived, and thought: Ah, students these days. They don’t even bother hiding their tardiness anymore, daring to sit in the front row. Do they really think I’m so old and foggy I can’t remember where everyone sat last class?
He thought what he thought, but the teacher began the lesson as usual.
Better to avoid trouble. His responsibility was to teach, to impart knowledge. How much the students learned, or what their attitude was, had nothing to do with him.
…
“Mmhmm, that’s how it is. Is that okay?” An Xiaoyu watched Sister Xiao Xue cooing into the phone beside her and silently noted this behavior.
So girls can get what they want by acting cute… Brother Xia Xi agreed to Sister Xiao Xue’s request as soon as she acted cute…
“That’s great! Love you~”
Ever since the New Year’s Eve fireworks night, Lin Xuening had become increasingly proactive towards Xia Xi, speaking more boldly and showing her intentions to get close to him without reservation.
In contrast, Xia Xi seemed a bit more of a… player.
Although he always responded to what Lin Xuening did, he still had Luo Xinyu by his side.
Case in point: Luo Xinyu, hearing Lin Xuening’s “Love you~” over the phone, immediately mimicked it with her own “Love you~” after Xia Xi hung up, giving him a headache.
He really couldn’t handle this kind of harem situation with girls.
Luo Xinyu claimed she didn’t mind Lin Xuening, but she was clearly a little jealous.
Girls were like that. Once they truly loved something, they wanted to possess it entirely.
Even though Luo Xinyu was being quite generous, she couldn’t help a little bit of selfishness.
Xia Xi guessed that Lin Xuening had said it on purpose too. She probably knew Luo Xinyu was with him, so she used it to stir up a bit of rivalry and assert her claim.
Sigh, Bai Xiaocha was better.
A perfectly legal, adorably silly little loli. All about cuteness, no strings attached. Every time he went to see Bai Xiaocha, he got to experience all sorts of fun, novel things from various anime and manga subcultures. It was always a delight, filling his emotional needs.
“Let’s go, Xiaoyu. Target: the food street at the school gate!”
Lin Xuening took An Xiaoyu’s hand and started jogging forward. Bathed in sunlight, this “man” and woman really did look like an enthusiastic young couple in love, brimming with warmth.
