With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 147

Threatened by Luo Xinyu, Xia Xi no longer dared to make any other moves. He could only pretend to be a real stuffed toy, lying quietly in her arms.

He could, of course, transfer his consciousness to the plushie currently in Lin Xuening’s arms. But if he did that, he might still get caught. It was better to just stay put.

After all, someone as gentle as the young lady definitely wouldn’t do anything too extreme to him… right?

Feeling the kneading sensations from his paw and little tail, Xia Xi didn’t dare move a muscle.

“It’s still so early, what should we do now?”

Lin Xuening glanced at the time and saw it was just past four in the afternoon. It was too early for dinner, but there weren’t any other places to kill time.

They couldn’t just go hang out at an internet cafe like boys do, could they?

“I’m fine with anything. I’ll just go along with you guys,” Luo Xinyu said with a gentle smile, indicating she would follow their lead.

“Ugh, that’s the same as saying nothing at all,” Lin Xuening pouted.

She had asked because she didn’t know where to go, and who knew “Xia Xi” would come out with an “I’m easy” response. It was so frustrating.

“How about… that cat cafe?” An Xiaoyu pointed to a shop not far ahead.

A few kittens were lounging at the shop entrance, stretching their bodies with “enticing” expressions, as if luring passersby to come in and spend.

Looking at the kittens, Lin Xuening thought of Cat-senpai from her home.

Ever since she brought Cat-senpai home, the little thing had refused to leave. Even if she put it back at school, it would secretly follow Lin Xuening after class.

After all, it knew the difference between a guaranteed full meal every time and just a single feast~

“I think that’s a great idea!”

Lin Xuening, who already loved little cats, naturally wouldn’t refuse a visit to a cat cafe.

With both of them agreeing, Luo Xinyu had no objections either.

After all, her purpose for coming here was for the little rascal in her arms~

She pinched the plushie’s little tail, then rubbed her cheek against its face, looking as though she adored the toy.

Xia Xi felt an itch in his tail and wanted to shake it, to break free from her clutches.

Sensing his struggle, she only pinched tighter, occasionally scratching lightly with her fingers, making Xia Xi’s heart flutter with a strange itch.

….

“Sorry, you can’t bring plush toys into our shop. They might get damaged by the cats,” a staff member stopped the three girls at the entrance.

“You can leave the toy with us for safekeeping and pick it up when you’re done.”

Seeing himself being taken from Luo Xinyu’s arms by the staff, Xia Xi had no choice but to transfer his consciousness to another one of Lin Xuening’s belongings.

Because the cat cafe had the heat on, Lin Xuening had already taken off her coat. And since shoes weren’t allowed inside, her leather shoes were also left outside.

All she had left on was her JK uniform and socks, so his options were quite limited.

“Better go into the shirt, I guess.”

After a brief consideration, Xia Xi finally decided to inhabit her shirt.

His consciousness transferred. The familiar milky fragrance wafted around him, accompanied by the cool sensation of contact with Lin Xuening’s skin.

From the perspective of Lin Xuening’s shirt, he could see that Luo Xinyu was still looking reluctantly at the plushie that had been taken away, probably thinking he was still inside it.

“Why does it feel a bit stuffy in here?”

Perhaps because she had come from the chilly outdoors into the air-conditioned room, Lin Xuening felt a bit uncomfortable and hot.

She reached up, pinched her collar, and gently tugged it back and forth, trying to let some air in to cool down.

For Xia Xi, however, the sensation was like having his mouth pulled open one moment and snapped shut the next, which was extremely uncomfortable.

To avoid being “played with” like this any longer, Xia Xi made a bold decision!

He would transfer his consciousness to her innermost two pieces of clothing!

….

“Xiao Xue, you’re not allergic to cats, are you? Your face was all flushed the whole time at the cat cafe.”

Luo Xinyu was holding the plushie, again gripping its tail and nuzzling its face. What she didn’t know was that Xia Xi’s consciousness had long since left that toy.

“I’m… I’m fine…” Lin Xuening pursed her lips.

While petting the cats at the cafe, she kept feeling a strange sensation in certain areas, as if someone was watching her. But upon careful thought, those spots were definitely covered by clothing. How could there possibly be any “long-distance groping”?

She looked down at her opaque tights.

That stocking spirit hadn’t made a move in a while either. Was everything before just an illusion?

Was she really just overthinking things?

Lin Xuening began to doubt her own sanity.

She did have a bold little plan for today, but that shouldn’t make her so nervous that she started hallucinating.

“Are you really okay?” Luo Xinyu gave the plushie’s plump rear a firm squeeze.

Seeing Lin Xuening’s reaction, she instantly guessed that Xia Xi had returned to Lin Xuening’s belongings. She just didn’t know which item he was in now.

“I’m fine… Oh! I still have some discount coupons. How about we go for hot pot? I know a really good place!”

Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Lin Xuening quickly suggested going for dinner.

Xia Xi, now attached to her bracelet, felt a bit embarrassed.

He absolutely didn’t dare make any moves now.

Earlier, he had just been curious when he saw two red dots and gave them a little pinch. Who knew Lin Xuening would react so strongly… It scared him so much he immediately transferred to the bracelet to play dead.

….

After dinner, the group sat on the restaurant’s sofa.

“I have movie tickets too, but… only two seats are together…” Lin Xuening spoke somewhat awkwardly.

She had bought the movie tickets earlier in the morning, originally planning to go with just An Xiaoyu.

Who knew “Xia Xi” would show up halfway.

She could only sneak an extra ticket when she went to the restroom.

“It’s fine, you can sit with Xiao Yu,” Luo Xinyu waved her hand, saying it was no problem.

But she found it strange.

Normally, if the other party wanted to improve Xia Xi’s favorability, shouldn’t she choose to sit with her, “Xia Xi”? Why choose An Xiaoyu?

Fortunately, their seats were in the row directly in front, so Luo Xinyu could clearly see any little movements between the two ahead.

And then…

“Xiao Yu, how about staying at my place tonight? You’ve never been to my house before~” Lin Xuening whispered into An Xiaoyu’s ear.

“But… aren’t your parents home?” An Xiaoyu was tempted.

She really hadn’t been to Lin Xuening’s place and was a bit curious to visit.

“They’re on a trip. I’m home alone. Didn’t you want to learn how to cook? Come to my place, I’ll teach you~”

Listening from within the bracelet, Xia Xi finally understood what the system mission meant by “prevent Lin Xuening’s bold idea” and what the punishment of “being slid on by Lin Xuening all night” was all about!
