With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 65

“Hey, buddy?”

The delivery guy on the other end of the call sounded utterly confused.

A girl with a sweet voice was calling him buddy? Normally, people would call him big bro or something along those lines.

The phrases he heard most often were things like, “Hey, can you hurry up? Or do you want a bad rating?” But this order was different. This girl had just called him buddy, and even though the delivery was almost late, she hadn’t threatened a bad rating—she’d just asked where he was.

Oh my god, there really are girls this nice out there? Sniff. I must… I must… invite her to join me in eating melons!

“Sorry, sorry! There’s some seriously juicy drama going on here, and I got so caught up in it that I lost track of time. Wanna come check it out…?”

So this was how your delivery guy, while busy eating melons (i.e., indulging in gossip), extended an invitation to you?

Before he could finish, Xia Xi cut him off.

“Send me the location! If there’s drama, we’re all in this together.”

Xia Xi was totally on board.

She was bored anyway, and this would be a great way to kill time.

As for her actual body, which was still starving…

Eh, whatever!

Food could wait, but drama? Once you missed it, it was gone forever!

Being there in person was a completely different experience from just hearing about it online.

“Uh, Angel Sis, but what about Xia Xi…?”

Forget the fact that an “angel” was this interested in gossip—wasn’t the whole reason she’d “descended” and taken over my body to take care of Xia Xi?

Pfft! Fake angel!

“Daijoubu! It won’t take long, and we can grab the delivery on the way.”*

Since Xia Xi had already made up her mind, Lin Xueling had no choice but to reluctantly tag along for the drama.

“Over here, over here!”

From a distance, the delivery guy spotted Xia Xi immediately.

It wasn’t hard—that clueless college student look, combined with an expression that screamed “I’m here for the tea,” made her stand out.

“Where’s the drama? Where?”

“Right up ahead—those two guys and two girls.”

Xia Xi followed the delivery guy’s pointing finger.

In front of a hotel, two men and two women were locked in a heated argument.

Girl 1: “I told you, he’s just my guy best friend!”

Guy 1: “Guy best friend? Oh, please. A guy best friend who just walked out of a hotel with you? You think I’m stupid?!”

Girl 1: “My guy best friend doesn’t have a girlfriend, so what’s the big deal if I let him have some fun? It’s not like we didn’t use protection!”

Holy crap. Xia Xi was floored.

She’d always assumed those kinds of outrageous stories online were just made-up clickbait. But no—people like this actually existed in real life. The world really was full of wonders.

Guy 2 had been silent the whole time, but his gaze was fixed on the woman standing behind Guy 1.

Girl 1: “Setting aside the facts, aren’t you at fault too? Just smell the alcohol on you—you just came out of a bar, didn’t you?”

The hotel was right next to a bar, along with other entertainment spots like a KTV.

Clearly, Guy 1 had just left the bar with a girl and was heading to the hotel—what he planned to do next was obvious.

Guy 1: “She’s an old classmate. We hadn’t seen each other in ages, so we had a few drinks and lost track of time. We were up all night, so of course we’d get a room to sleep. What’s the big deal?”

Girl 1: “Oh, really? Just sleeping?”

Guy 1: “Yeah, obviously. Not everyone’s as messed up as you!”

This guy’s excuse was next-level ridiculous. What kind of “old classmates” randomly run into each other at a bar, drink all night, and then crash at a hotel together?

After listening for a bit, Xia Xi pieced together the relationship between the two loudest arguers. It wasn’t anything special—just your average couple. One was always “on business trips” and never home at night, while the other kept asking for money to go “shopping with her bestie.”

The guy had always assumed his girlfriend’s “bestie” was another girl. But nope—it was a guy best friend. The thought of his money being spent on another man made him so furious he nearly exploded.

“Tsk tsk tsk~”

Xia Xi clicked her tongue, casually accepting both her food delivery and the sunflower seeds the delivery guy handed her.

Normally, you shouldn’t eat food from strangers, but this was different. A whole crowd had gathered to spectate—no one would be dumb enough to poison seeds in public.

Besides, what was drama without snacks? Munching on seeds while watching the show was peak enjoyment.

At first, hotel staff had tried to mediate—after all, this was happening right outside their business, and it was bad for their image.

But after hearing some of the legendary lines being thrown around, they just let them keep arguing.

Girl 2: “You already found a new friend this fast?”

Girl 2, who had been quietly hiding behind Guy 1, suddenly spoke up, her eyes locked on Guy 2.

Her words instantly silenced the two main arguers, who both turned to look at their respective partners.

Guy 2: “What do you mean? I don’t get it. Do we know each other?”

Girl 2: “Oh, really? Pretending you don’t know me now?”

They say a woman scorned is the most terrifying—and clearly, that wasn’t wrong.

Girl 2 pulled out her phone, opened a heavily censored photo, then switched to WeChat and showed a chat log with someone.

Girl 1 immediately recognized the profile picture—it belonged to the guy standing right next to her.

She’d always thought her guy best friend was a sweet, innocent boy. That’s why she hadn’t hesitated when he’d “needed help.”

But who knew he was like this behind the scenes?!

“Hey, miss, there’s something about girls I’ve always been curious about.”

The delivery guy looked like he’d just turned eighteen, probably working a summer job.

“What is it?”

Xia Xi was baffled.

If you had a question, why not ask the internet? Why ask her? It wasn’t like she was actually a girl.

“So… do pretty girls actually, y’know… poop?”

Xia Xi: “…”

Lin Xueling (in her mind): “…”

Oh my god, is this guy for real?

Hello? This wasn’t anime—every human being had biological needs.

Was this delivery guy an NPC or something?

Hearing such a dumb question instantly killed Xia Xi’s interest in the spectacle. Since her actual body was still hungry, she decided to just head back to the hospital.

The delivery guy watched her leave, scratching his head awkwardly.

“I was just curious… Did she really have to look at me like that?”

Then again, the more he thought about it, the more he recalled Lin Xueling’s disgusted “are you stupid?” expression—and for some reason, it kind of excited him.

“So the anime trope where the heroine looks at the guy like he’s an idiot is actually kinda hot? That disdainful face is kinda cute when you think about it.”

If Xia Xi had heard that, she would’ve kicked him square in the butt.

Damn it, even my little gremlin Xia Yue isn’t this much of a weirdo!
