With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 68

“Angel Sister, maybe we should go back to the dorm and study… I still have class assignments to finish…”

After lunch, Xia Xi had wandered aimlessly through the streets. Originally, he’d planned to take a nap in the dorm, but the thought of Lin Xuenin’s constant page-flipping sounds made him instantly resistant.

Normally, Xia Xi had no hobbies besides mindlessly scrolling through short videos. On boring days like this, if he were into gaming or had a good anime or drama to binge, he could’ve easily killed time.

“No worries! I checked—that assignment isn’t due for a few more days. I finally got to come down from ‘heaven,’ so let me have some fun, okay?”

He hadn’t forgotten the whole angel persona he’d made up.

As a pure, clueless angel, wasn’t it only natural to want to explore and enjoy herself?

Little did he know, Lin Xuenin in his mind was already grinding her teeth.

Calling you ‘Angel Sister’ is just me being polite—you really think I don’t know you’re lying? Look at yourself! What kind of angel acts like this? Total fraud!

When no more complaints came from his mental passenger, Xia Xi shrugged it off.

Heh~

The body was his right now—he could do whatever he wanted!

“Miss! Excuse me, miss!”

Xia Xi: “?”

Is he talking to me?

Oh, right. He was Lin Xuenin at the moment—a pretty girl. But this guy wasn’t another street punk, was he?

Thinking that, he quickened his pace, trying to shake off the caller.

Surely his luck wasn’t this bad—getting hassled every single time he went out?

“Ah, miss, you walk so fast!”

Unfortunately, the little skirt restricted his stride, and the guy caught up easily.

“What do you want?”

Seeing the petite beauty frown at him, Mo Li awkwardly pointed to the camera hanging from his neck.

“Uh, sorry to bother you. I’m a photographer, and the moment I saw you, I was captivated. I’d love to take some photos of you.”

Photos…

Not one of those ‘private shoot’ creeps, is he?

He’d heard plenty of stories about guys luring girls to hotels under the guise of photography.

“Oh, don’t worry! I’m not some scammer. Here, check my Douyin account—see?”

Noticing Xia Xi’s wariness, Mo Li pulled out his phone and showed his Douyin profile.

Huh.

A legit influencer with over 200K followers.

His page was filled with videos featuring beautiful girls as thumbnails—seemed like a genuine street photography account.

Just as Xia Xi was about to check his content, Mo Li smoothly withdrew his phone.

“So? I’m really good at this, and you’re stunning—we’d get amazing shots.”

He then brought his camera closer, flipping through his portfolio to show Xia Xi.

Gotta admit, the guy was skilled—his compositions were on point.

“Should I do it?”

Xia Xi muttered as if to himself, but he was actually asking the real Lin Xuenin in his head.

After all, being featured by a photographer with a following could easily make someone go viral.

Having your photos spread online was a double-edged sword.

Sure, most people might praise your looks, but there’d always be those who’d spew pure malice.

Lin Xuenin knew Xia Xi was asking for her opinion, so she considered it carefully.

She was already a junior—after next semester, she’d be job-hunting. If these photos gave her a bit of online clout, maybe she could pivot into content creation or streaming.

Streamers made bank in this world—nothing like the oversaturated mess of Xia Xi’s past life.

Of course, with Lin Xuenin’s grades, she could also become a programmer. Female coders were rare, and a pretty one? She’d stand out for sure.

But… didn’t programmers go bald?

Hmm. A bald beauty… hard to imagine.

“Angel Sister, go ahead. It’s just a few photos—no big deal.”

After some thought, Lin Xuenin decided to go for it.

What girl didn’t want to look pretty? If the guy had the skills, why not leave behind some nice memories?

“Alright, where are we shooting?”

Since Lin Xuenin agreed, Xia Xi played along.

“That staircase up ahead looks perfect. Wanna try there?”

In this mountainous city, staircases and alleys were everywhere. No wonder all the girls were so slim—climbing stairs daily was basically cardio.

Following Mo Li’s directions, Xia Xi posed with one elbow resting on the railing, a small fist propped under his chin, cheeks slightly puffed to make his lips purse adorably.

“No, no—too stiff! Miss Lin, relax a little. The camera won’t bite.”

Xia Xi really wanted to snap back—I’ve been a guy for twenty years, you think I can just casually pull off cutesy poses?!

And now Mo Li wanted him to squint slightly with a loving gaze.

What the hell does a ‘loving gaze’ even look like?!

Mo Li was equally puzzled. This delicate-looking girl moved like a dude—like someone who’d only ever posed with a peace sign.

“Miss Lin, arch your back a little more, lift your chest, sink your waist—like you’re lost in thought.”

So many demands!

Xia Xi was getting impatient.

He’d thought this would be quick, but no—every little detail had to be just right. Sure, it was for the sake of the shot, but asking a guy to do this was torture.

So he shifted most of his focus back to his real body, leaving Lin Xuenin’s in a natural, daydreaming state.

“Yes, yes! That’s the look!”

The shutter clicked rapidly as Mo Li cheered.

“Miss Lin, this is perfect—straight out of the camera!”

Meaning no editing needed.

Xia Xi refocused and went over to check.

Huh. Not bad.

A youthful, radiant girl leaned against the railing, her eyes hazy—like she was lost in longing for someone.

“See? Told you I’m good. Now, let’s try some more poses!”

Seeing Xia Xi’s approval, Mo Li pressed on eagerly.

With Lin Xuenin’s permission, Xia Xi had no objections. Since he sucked at posing anyway, he might as well let the pro direct him…
