With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 146

“It’s out! It’s out! Xiao Yu, you’re amazing!”

Lin Xueling’s cheeks were slightly flushed, seemingly from excitement, and her speech even carried a hint of breathlessness.

“Again, Xiao Yu! Just this little bit is nowhere near enough~”

An Xiaoyu, hearing her ‘Xiaoxue Jiejie’ say something so easily misunderstood, was momentarily at a loss for words.

She was pulled by Lin Xueling to the next machine, dragging the shopping cart filled with plushies behind her.

Insert coins, fiddle with the joystick a few times, gently press the button…

“It’s out! Another one!”

A pink little beaver dressed like a bee fell from the prize chute. Lin Xueling bent down to pick it up and placed it into the shopping cart, which was already piled into a small mountain.

It couldn’t be helped. An Xiaoyu’s luck was simply too good. Just randomly fiddling a few times could yield a plushie. Not a single machine took more than five tries.

Even Xia Xi, currently residing on Lin Xueling’s fleece-lined tights, was amazed.

Who would have thought An Xiaoyu had this kind of potential? Should they say ‘as expected of a genius girl with such high-level gaming skills’?

“Um, big sister, could you help me grab one, please?”

A little girl tugged at An Xiaoyu’s pant leg, looking pitiful—clearly the type whose game tokens had gone down the drain.

An Xiaoyu instinctively looked at Lin Xueling.

Only after the latter nodded did she agree to the little girl’s request, acting exactly like the typical ‘pa’erduo’ (henpecked husband) of Chongqing city.

…

Half an hour later.

“Wow, you two are that good?”

Luo Xinyu looked at the dozens of plushies in their shopping cart, her surprise making it hard to close her mouth.

She had spent three hundred tokens and barely managed to grab six or seven.

“Hehe~ Of course. Our Xiao Yu is super amazing.”

Lin Xueling hooked her arm through An Xiaoyu’s, looking very much like a girlfriend showing off her boyfriend in front of another woman.

An Xiaoyu, praised like this, scratched the back of her head in slight embarrassment.

She really wanted to say something like “Of course, games are a piece of cake,” but her ‘Xiaoxue Jiejie’ was right there. She couldn’t act so high-profile~

“Excuse me, sorry to disturb.”

The speaker was a staff member wearing a red uniform.

“Would you be willing to return these plushies to us? We’re willing to exchange them for several larger plushies.”

It turned out the staff, seeing how many they had grabbed, wanted to trade for others.

The three girls had no objections.

After all, they couldn’t possibly take this many. Better to exchange for a few big ones.

Thus, each of them received an enormous pink beaver plushie, only a little shorter than An Xiaoyu’s current height.

[New transferable item detected: Lin Xueling’s Beaver Plushie]

Xia Xi glanced at the system prompt, then looked up at the gigantic plushie blocking his view and occasionally bumping into him. He silently shifted his consciousness.

Really, this girl Lin Xueling, acting on some random impulse, kept tugging at him every now and then. With each tug, he felt his cheeks sting.

If he transferred to her jacket, he’d still be blocked by the plushie in her arms. Might as well just possess the plushie itself.

He glanced beside him.

That was his own original body, also holding a plushie.

“Xiaoxue… I feel like someone is looking at me…”

An Xiaoyu frowned, sensing an uncomfortable gaze.

“The three of us holding these huge plushies are pretty eye-catching. It’s normal for people to look.”

Lin Xueling was already used to being looked at with all sorts of gazes.

As a pretty female university student who likes wearing JK uniforms, being stared at with creepy looks was pretty much the norm.

Especially her legs. Since she liked wearing skirts, her legs were the second most stared-at place after her face.

“That’s how it is, Xiao Yu. You’ll get used to it.”

Luo Xinyu nodded.

She had experienced those kinds of looks before when out with Xia Xi, so she had experience.

It was just An Xiaoyu. Before, she was a bookworm who simply didn’t notice such gazes. Later, she was a numb money-making machine who wouldn’t care about looks either.

It was only now, having people she cared about and a better, more normal life, that she was gradually starting to notice all sorts of things.

“Is that so… Alright…”

An Xiaoyu still felt something was off.

She was currently using Xiaxi Ge’s body. Surely no one would be staring at a guy, right? Although Xiaxi Ge is indeed quite handsome and has a good figure…

She inadvertently glanced at the plushie in Lin Xueling’s arms and instantly jolted in fright!

“Ah!”

Her shout attracted the attention of people around them.

Lin Xueling and Luo Xinyu exchanged a glance and quickly adjusted their positions to shield An Xiaoyu from view.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Yu? Why the sudden shout?”

Lin Xueling asked with concern.

Luo Xinyu was also puzzled. Nothing had happened just now, right? Or maybe…

She looked at Lin Xueling’s tights and found they had become as smooth and flat as normal ‘bare leg’ tights. She tilted her head.

Xia Xi isn’t there anymore?

“It’s… it’s… Xiaoxue Jiejie, your plushie… it… it was staring at me just now!”

An Xiaoyu couldn’t care less about honorifics at the moment.

She was genuinely scared.

Back when she and Xia Yue were huddled under the covers watching horror movies, there were plots about plushies coming to life.

“No way? How could a plushie stare at you? Must be your imagination.”

Lin Xueling turned the beaver plushie around so it faced her.

Its two black eyes were still in their usual silly position, right in the center of the eye area, seeming to stare straight ahead.

“See, no change~”

To prove it, Lin Xueling even rubbed the plushie’s face and poked its eyes.

Xia Xi was having a tough time now.

Not only did he get a close-up face-to-face with Lin Xueling, but she also rubbed his face and poked his eyes.

Good thing he was just a plushie right now, or who knows how much it would hurt to have his eyes poked!

And that girl An Xiaoyu, why so sensitive?

He just glanced at her, and she screamed. Never saw her be this timid at home.

“Maybe… maybe I really did see wrong. Sorry for causing trouble.”

An Xiaoyu stared at the plushie for several more seconds before finally lowering her head, adopting an apologetic posture.

Lin Xueling didn’t mind, just patted the other girl’s current short hair a few times to comfort her.

Only Luo Xinyu, looking at the small-tailed plushie in Lin Xueling’s arms, let the corners of her mouth curve up slightly.

“Xiaoxue, want to swap plushies? I think yours looks better.”

Lin Xueling looked at her, puzzled.

Xia Xi, a grown man, was actually trying to snatch a plushie from a girl like her!

He was acting strange today!

“Fine, let’s swap.”

Xia Xi only felt his position shift from one soft place to another.

And then…

The small tail naturally attached to the plushie behind him was firmly grasped by Luo Xinyu!

A girl’s voice, belonging to An Xiaoyu’s body, whispered softly in his ear:

“Little Xixi, you wouldn’t want Lin Xueling to find out about your mischief in her tights, would you~?”
