With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 39

“Hello… Ghost-san…”

The timid, loli-like voice echoed in his mind.

Bai Xiaocha had been brushing her teeth when her body suddenly stiffened, slipping out of her control.

She knew it—the lolicon ghost had returned to possess her again. Just when she’d almost forgotten about the whole possession ordeal after a few days of peace, here he was, back to experience her body.

To get him to leave as soon as possible, she forced herself to act obedient.

Xia Xi didn’t respond right away. The moment he took over, he felt her mouth stuffed full—not with anything strange, but with frothy toothpaste bubbles.

Luckily, the girl had been holding her cup while brushing. Otherwise, with all the identical cups in the school dorm, he wouldn’t have been able to tell which one was hers.

Glancing at the blue-and-white toothbrush in her hand, Xia Xi decided against continuing. Unlike Luo Xinyu, Bai Xiaocha wasn’t as familiar with him, and using her toothbrush carelessly would definitely lower her opinion of him.

Grabbing the blue-striped cup filled with water, he took a big gulp, swished it around his mouth with a cute gurgle, and spat it out.

“Hello,” he finally replied after rinsing.

“Um, Ghost-san, I still have morning self-study. Could you please return my body so I can go to class?”

It was around six in the morning, and self-study started at seven. There was plenty of time to get from the dorm to the classroom—especially since two lazy roommates were still sound asleep in their beds.

“Morning self-study? Why should I give you back? I’ll go for you~”

A smirk tugged at his lips, revealing a tiny fang. It had been a while since he’d experienced morning self-study, and borrowing Bai Xiaocha’s body was the perfect chance to relive it.

“But… I also have… other things to do…”

Bai Xiaocha seemed hesitant, stumbling over her words.

She hadn’t woken up at six just for self-study!

“Just tell me, and I’ll handle it for you.”

He grabbed the white blouse carelessly tossed at the foot of Bai Xiaocha’s bed and slipped it on with practiced ease, covering her bare upper half.

As for the lower half—well, as expected, it was the classic blue-and-white.

After multiple experiences, Xia Xi was now an expert at putting on skirts.

First, he unzipped the right side, slid both legs in, pulled it up to her waist in one smooth motion, fastened the zipper, adjusted the waistband to a comfortable tightness, and gave it a little spin to straighten it out.

The seamless execution left Bai Xiaocha in her own mind utterly bewildered.

Wait… Is Ghost-san actually Ghost-oneesan? Have I been calling her ‘Mister’ this whole time? Did I offend her?!

Panicked, she blurted out:

“Sumimasen! I didn’t know Ghost-oneesan was a girl! Please forgive me for calling you ‘Mister’ before!”

Her overactive imagination made Xia Xi burst into laughter—a soft, loli-like giggle that lightly echoed in the dorm room.

“Nope, I’m definitely a guy.”

“Eh?! But… you’re so good at putting on clothes!”

Oh. So that’s why.

Xia Xi wasn’t sure how to explain it. He couldn’t exactly say he’d practiced in other people’s bodies, could he?

Rubbing his smooth chin, he lowered his voice dramatically.

“That’s because… I can read your memories!”

“Ah! Then… then…”

Bai Xiaocha seemed stunned, struggling to form a complete sentence.

“That’s amazing!”

…Huh?

Amazing? Shouldn’t she be angry or scared that her memories were being peeked at? What kind of logic was this?

“Then, Ghost-san, you can take care of the wigs for tomorrow’s cosplay event!”

Hearing Xia Xi’s lie about memory-reading, Bai Xiaocha actually brightened up.

She’d been dreading having to fix the wigs late at night after a full day of classes, but now—free labor had arrived!

The reason she’d woken up so early was to retrieve the unfinished wigs from the school gate’s security office before class.

“Ahem, actually, I was lying. I can’t read memories at all.”

Xia Xi coughed awkwardly, his cheeks flushing slightly.

This was the first time he’d been forced to admit a lie right after telling it—and to a dumb loli, no less. So embarrassing.

“Aww… what a shame…”

Bai Xiaocha’s mood instantly deflated.

So much for free help. She’d have to do it herself after all.

…

Later, at Bai Xiaocha’s request, Xia Xi successfully retrieved three orange wigs from the security office.

“Xiaocha, you’re back! Let me hug you~”

Xiayue, now awake, lit up at the sight of the wigs before immediately pulling Bai Xiaocha into a tight embrace.

Her smooth, delicate cheeks nuzzled against Xiaocha’s face relentlessly.

Though Xia Xi and his sister were close, she’d never clung to him like this.

Frankly, after so many years together, he found his sister’s clinginess more annoying than endearing. If it were Leng Xiyu hugging him instead, though—that might’ve been a different story.

With that thought, he glanced at Leng Xiyu, who was climbing down from her bunk.

She wore a white sports bra that revealed her toned abs and a pair of tight black shorts that showcased her long, sculpted legs.

Yep. Leng Xiyu is a hundred times better than dumb Xiayue.

“Onee-sama is the best!” Bai Xiaocha cheered in his mind.

“Hmph! Flirty Xiaocha—you’re in my arms but still sneaking peeks at Leng-jie? I don’t like you anymore!”

Xiayue had noticed the gaze and immediately pouted in jealousy.

Sure, her figure wasn’t as impressive as Leng Xiyu’s, but she was still a lively, pretty girl! How dare this pervy loli eye someone else while being hugged by her? Unforgivable!

“I wasn’t!”

Caught red-handed, Xia Xi awkwardly rubbed his nose, avoiding Xiayue’s stare.

But Xiayue wasn’t letting him off that easily. She grabbed his face with both hands, squishing his cheeks until his lips puckered into a cute pout.

“Stupid Xiaocha! Say it—‘I admit Lady Xiayue’s beauty is unrivaled!’”

“In—your—dreams—”

His words came out slow and forced through his squished lips, sounding almost resentful.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaocha screamed in his mind:

“I admit Leng Xiyu onee-sama’s beauty is unrivaled!”
