With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 25

“Update, hurry up and update, big bro!”

After reading 20,000 words, Xia Yue had fully transformed into the shape of a dragon. Burying her face in Xia Xi’s lap, she tugged at his white thigh-highs, squirming restlessly.

Luckily, there weren’t many people in their train car—otherwise, Xia Xi would’ve died of embarrassment.

“Stop it, stop it! I’ll post the drafts right now.”

Out of all possibilities, he never expected his anime-loving little sister to be so into this kind of youthful fantasy fiction.

In one go, Xia Xi uploaded 40,000 words, bringing the total to 80,000, then clicked to start the verification period.

Even though it was already past 4 p.m. and starting verification now would waste half a day’s time, so what? With Dragon Clan’s quality, it was bound to blow up!

“Hehe, Onii-chan, you’re the best.”

Just as Xia Yue flipped onto her back, (), ready to read the novel, the train’s announcement blared out.

“Huh? We’re already at the station?! No way!”

Xia Xi nudged his leg, signaling Xia Yue to get up quickly and grab their things before disembarking.

If they wasted time and the train started moving again, things would get messy.

The siblings stood up and lined up to exit, their adorable and pure charm drawing frequent glances from the crowd.

“Keep staring, why don’t you? Just go live with him then!”

A girl, noticing her boyfriend’s gaze, immediately flared up.

“No, no! Tingting, I’m sorry! You know I’m not into guys—how could I go after him? My heart only has you~”

Ugh. Xia Xi shuddered.

He knew Chongqing had its fair share of men who liked men, but he never expected to be ogled by a bunch of guys just riding the train.

Seriously, bro, I’m a bro too! I’m straight—can you not look at me like that?!

For the first time, Xia Xi deeply understood the discomfort Liu Jiaying must’ve felt from all those leering stares. How did she endure it? Was it really just a matter of getting used to it?

After getting off the train, Xia Xi hailed a ride-share straight to the school gates.

“I won’t walk you in.”

“Mhm! Big bro, be careful on your way home~ A pretty boy like you has to protect himself too, y’know~”

“Yeah, yeah, scram. Oh, and some of the clothes in the suitcase are still damp—remember to hang them up in the dorm so they don’t get musty. Also, spend the money freely, and ask me if you need more. And get along with your roommates—but if someone rubs you the wrong way, don’t force yourself to interact…”

“I knoooow, you’re such a nag, bro.”

Xia Xi felt a pang of sadness at his sister’s eye-roll. After raising her all these years, a little concern just earned him complaints.

“Oh, Xiaoyue, is this your brother? He’s so pretty! And his figure’s amazing!”

Just as the siblings were saying goodbye, a cute blue-haired girl—wearing a T-shirt with a white-haired loli print, black shorts, and a classic anime “M”-shaped fringe—approached, pulling a suitcase behind her.

“Xiao Bai! Perfect timing—running into you right as I get to school! C’mere, let me hug you~”

“Hug hug~”

The two petite, doll-like beauties shared a big embrace at the school gates, even nuzzling cheeks—an undeniably heartwarming sight.

So… was this some new trendy greeting?

“Ah, hello, big bro! I’m Bai Xiaocha, Xiaoyue’s roommate. Since it’s our first meeting, here’s a little muryō for you~”

Muryō? What was that, some sketchy material?

Seeing Xia Xi’s confusion, Xia Yue immediately knew this was beyond her brother’s knowledge.

“Dummy, muryō means free little gifts! Just take it—Xiao Bai’s cookies are super tasty!”

Indeed, the “muryō” Bai Xiaocha handed Xia Xi was a few brown bear-shaped cookies.

From Xia Yue’s tone, it seemed this little girl had baked them herself.

“Then thank you. My sister can be a bit of a handful—please look after her in the dorm.”

Though the girl was about the same size as his sister—maybe even shorter—if Xia Yue was a “loli-type” beauty, Bai Xiaocha was straight-up loli, no “type” about it. Still, she seemed far more polite than his sister—a good kid.

“What do you mean she has to look after me? If anything, I’m the one looking after her! Hmph!”

Sticking her tongue out at her brother, Xia Yue grabbed Bai Xiaocha’s hand and turned to leave.

Bai Xiaocha clasped her hands apologetically.

“See you next time, big bro!”

“Yeah, see you.”

Now this is how a kid should behave—polite and well-mannered! Xia Yue, take notes!!!

After sending off his sister, Xia Xi began his journey home.

He didn’t take the train this time—those things were just too slow. The only reason Xia Yue liked them was for nostalgia, saying they reminded her of their childhood. Otherwise, he’d never choose them.

High-speed rail was far more convenient nowadays—affordable, fast—though the only downside was the crowds and frequent lack of seats.

Like now, Xia Xi could only grip the handrail with one hand while scrolling on his phone with the other, enduring the sleazy looks around him.

About ten minutes in, someone suddenly grabbed his forearm.

Before he could react, a shrill voice, strained by excess body fat, rang in his ear:

“Why were you taking pictures of me?!”

The speaker was a somewhat pretty girl, no older than 25.

Like Xia Xi, she wore a JK uniform, now glaring at him furiously.

“I didn’t.”

Xia Xi frowned.

What rotten luck—getting framed on the subway, of all things.

What, just because he was on his phone, he must’ve been taking photos? Might as well ban phones altogether then.

“You think saying ‘I didn’t’ means you didn’t? Hand over your phone for inspection!”

The commotion drew the attention of the entire car.

An elderly man sitting behind Xia Xi even stood up to get a closer look, joining the spectacle.

“Do you know what the penalty is for false accusation?”

“False accusation? What false accusation? I’m stating facts—you did take pictures of me! Disgusting, perverted creep.”

The girl refused to back down.

Some passengers had already opened Douyin (TikTok), ready to record—subway drama was guaranteed clicks.

“Just give me your phone already!”

Xia Xi pocketed his phone and straightened up, (), (observing the reactions around him).

Using his height to his advantage, he looked down at the shameless girl.

“Oh? What exactly is there about you worth photographing?”
