With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 144
“Um… Xiaoyu, you walk ahead. Look for any shops you want to check out. I need to talk to your Brother Xia Xi about something.”
Lin Xuening quickly walked behind An Xiaoyu, gave her a little push forward, and then fell into step beside Luo Xinyu.
“Oh…”
An Xiaoyu walked ahead somewhat reluctantly, glancing around at the shops distractedly.
She was currently using Xia Xi’s male body, so her expression made her look like a wimpy, effeminate pushover, even more so than the stereotypical ‘henpecked’ husband of Chongqing.
Initially, many passersby were envious seeing this young man accompanied by two beautiful girls, but that envy instantly vanished.
What was this? A girly boy, a sissy, probably couldn’t even get it up. No wonder he could be friends with pretty girls—they were probably just sisters, good girlfriends~
If these passersby had heard Luo Xinyu’s “You’re the only one in my heart,” they would have likely imagined a full-blown yuri drama unfolding.
“Xuening, what’s up?”
Luo Xinyu looked at the JK-clad girl with a smile, watching as the sheer tights occasionally formed little pointed bumps in places. She was starting to piece things together.
“Nothing… It’s not a big deal… It’s just…”
Lin Xuening bit her lip.
“Do you really like me?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xia Xi was shocked.
Sister, no!
That’s not me! I didn’t say that! My dear class monitor Lin, please use your head!
Feeling the tights grow restless again, Lin Xuening reached down to tug at them, her cheeks turning slightly pink.
Doing this in public, constantly adjusting her tights, felt somewhat indecent.
“Of course I do. You’re my third favorite.”
Luo Xinyu kept smiling, appearing utterly sincere.
Hearing this, Lin Xuening’s heart sank, a wave of unhappiness washing over her.
“Only third…”
She mumbled quietly, then clenched her fists, staring directly into Luo Xinyu’s eyes.
Xia Xi’s heart dropped. It’s over.
For Luo Xinyu to say something like this in front of Lin Xuening was like pushing him straight into a fire pit.
Their previous casual friendship was perfectly fine.
“Then… can you tell me who the first two are?”
Lin Xuening’s voice was laced with unwillingness. Although she had her own guesses, logically, she should be second. How could she be third?
“Sure.”
Luo Xinyu held up two fingers.
“This second one is Xinyu. Xinyu is the undisputed second in my heart~”
Lin Xuening’s expression froze.
She could guess Luo Xinyu would rank above her. After all, the young lady’s circumstances were far superior. Now, with Lin Xuening even living in her house, it was hard to compete.
But…
If even Luo Xinyu was only second, who was first?
Liu Jiaying and Liu Yiyi?
Impossible… Xia Xi didn’t interact with them much normally.
Then…
An Xiaoyu?
That wasn’t impossible. After all, Xia Xi treated that girl like a real sister, and now they’d even swapped bodies.
When she and Xia Xi had swapped identities before, she thought it was like in anime—that such exchanges only happened between two people who were deeply connected and intimate.
Later, Xia Xi swapping bodies with his sister Xia Yue confirmed that.
So, him swapping with An Xiaoyu now… did that also mean they were very close?
“So, who’s first? An Xiaoyu?”
Lin Xuening asked directly.
Now, not only did Luo Xinyu tilt her head in confusion, but even Xia Xi, inhabiting the tights, was taken aback.
Why would it be An Xiaoyu?
Wasn’t An Xiaoyu like a sister?
Xia Xi couldn’t follow Lin Xuening’s train of thought.
“No, Xiaoyu is great and very cute, but she’s not first.”
One had to admit, Luo Xinyu was doing a pretty good job impersonating Xia Xi.
“The first is actually Xia Yue.”
Luo Xinyu dropped a bombshell.
But thinking about it, she was right.
Xia Yue, after all, was the person Xia Xi had lived with since childhood. Naturally, the bond between brother and sister would be closer than with anyone else.
Moreover, Xia Xi and Xia Yue weren’t like ordinary siblings.
Ordinary siblings usually couldn’t stand each other. A younger sister might call her brother ‘onii-chan’ incessantly as a kid, but by high school, it definitely devolves from “dear brother” to just “bro” or “hey you.”
But Xia Xi and Xia Yue were different. Xia Yue had always been that cute, lively personality, absolutely adoring her older brother.
“She’s right! How did I not think of Xia Yue!”
Xia Xi silently gave Luo Xinyu a thumbs-up.
Thankfully, she hadn’t mentioned any other girl’s name, or Lin Xuening would have turned into a super jealous mess.
“Is that so… So my only real rival is still Luo Xinyu, right…”
Xia Xi: “?”
Class Monitor Lin, are you for real?
I’m right here! How can you already be talking about rivals…
“It’s fine, I’ll definitely surpass Luo Xinyu in your heart!”
She looked at Luo Xinyu with determined eyes.
“Go ahead and try~”
Luo Xinyu shrugged, a ‘suit yourself’ look on her face.
Xia Xi sighed helplessly. This girl talks about making Luo Xinyu her rival, but she doesn’t even realize she’s right in front of her, declaring war to her face.
Speaking of which… An Xiaoyu has already walked quite far ahead. Aren’t you two going to catch up?
From the back of the leg, Xia Xi watched An Xiaoyu’s retreating figure grow smaller and willed Lin Xuening to hurry up.
Instantly, Lin Xuening felt her legs tighten up abruptly, the constricting sensation returning full force.
Her legs were dragged forward against her will, even forcing her into a slightly bent-knee walk.
Xia Xi was also stunned.
Whoa, I can do this while possessing clothing?
Where does a pair of sheer tights get the muscle tissue to exert force? Is that even reasonable?
Regardless of reason, Lin Xuening was indeed being pulled along by Xia Xi, the sheer tights.
“W-wait! Let go! I can walk by myself!”
Lin Xuening bent over to tug at the tights, causing Xia Xi a sharp pain, which finally made him stop.
The victim let out a sigh of relief.
She was now certain what she saw in the restroom—the tights tickling her—was real! She wished she could rip off these bizarre tights immediately.
But being in public made it too embarrassing, so she had to endure for now.
Luo Xinyu, watching Lin Xuening’s uncoordinated upper and lower body along with her flustered expression, suddenly understood.
Her gaze fell on Lin Xuening’s legs.
There, the originally smooth sheer tights were now covered in wrinkles, as if straining with effort.
“You said earlier you wanted to come over here. I was confused when I couldn’t find you. So this is where you were~ I’ve caught you, you little pervert~”
