With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 84

“Um… who’s Jiaying-jie?”

Luo Xinyu felt a little puzzled upon hearing the surprised remark from a certain girl.

The “Jiaying” she knew was only the one from the files—Xia Xi’s boss and Liu Yiyi’s older sister. But when did Xia Xi and this Jiaying “get together”?

Could it be a secret relationship? The kind only known by a particularly close little sister?

“Ah, no, not Jiaying-jie!”

Xia Yue was startled—the person who came to see her turned out to be an incredibly beautiful stranger. Judging by the wheelchair, did she have some trouble with her legs?

“Sorry, I got the wrong person! Pretty sister, you won’t blame me, right~?”

Luo Xinyu’s mood brightened a little as she watched Xia Yue’s lively, adorable demeanor.

Maybe this was why so many middle-aged uncles in Sakura Province loved idols?

A cheerful, spirited beauty really could spread happiness to others!

Of course, those who got all pervy over idol photos could just stay exhausted and weak!

“Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. You’re Xia Yue, right? I’m your older brother’s good friend, Luo Xinyu. You can call me… Xinyu-jie.”

Her idiot older brother’s good friend?

That guy who just went home after class every day, sometimes even too lazy to go to work—how did he manage to make such a beautiful and…

She glanced at the tall bodyguard standing behind Luo Xinyu’s wheelchair.

…and rich friend?!

Ugh, why couldn’t she have that kind of luck? She wanted to casually run into a handsome billionaire too!

Wait—no!

A handsome billionaire who was generous, easygoing, and super easy to fool!

Hehe, then she could use her charm as a beautiful girl to make him spend money on her and her dumb older brother, becoming the ultimate “brother-supporter”!

And once she’d drained the fool of all his cash, she’d kick him to the curb, becoming a cold, ruthless heartbreaker!

Stop it!

Your thoughts are dangerous!

Fishing for gullible rich guys is so unethical!

“Xinyu-jie, how did you and my dumb brother become friends~?”

At the question, Luo Xinyu fell into thought.

“Hmm… let’s just say it was because of a mischievous, perverted wizard~”

“A wizard?”

“Yep, and not just any wizard—the most powerful sorcerer under the Heavenly Emperor, one who specifically targeted girls.”

Xia Yue started to wonder if this big sister had a few screws loose.

Supernatural entities weren’t allowed post-founding of the nation, let alone some perverted wizard—how was that possible? Even as someone deep into anime, she knew the real world had no room for fantasy.

“Wow, that’s amazing! So did my brother save you?”

Since the wizard supposedly targeted girls, Xia Yue’s mind immediately jumped to a perverted mugger, with her brother swooping in for a heroic rescue, winning the young lady’s heart.

Hero saves beauty—that’s how it always went in anime. Cliché, but effective!

“Not quite, but your brother did play a very important role.”

Oh?

An important role?

Could it be…

One day, the young mistress Xinyu-jie was cornered in an alley by thugs lusting after her beauty, about to do something unspeakable—when suddenly, her brother appeared, shouting, “Let her go, take me instead!” and endured everything in her place…

Ew, ew, ew!

Xia Yue, Xia Yue, no yaoi fantasies!

“Okay, okay~ So what did you come to see me for, Xinyu-jie?”

Luo Xinyu paused, then glanced nervously at the bodyguard behind her.

The bodyguard gave her a reassuring nod, and only then did she relax.

Thank goodness the gifts weren’t all gone—that would’ve been awkward!

The bodyguard had kept today’s school visit purpose in mind, so the things handed out earlier were just cheap little trinkets—prepared in advance, knowing the young lady’s kind-hearted nature would lead to spontaneous generosity.

The real gifts were just three in total, all carefully preserved by him.

What a reliable professional~

“Your brother has taken care of me a lot, so I wanted to bring you a little gift. I hope you like it.”

She handed Xia Yue a large, exquisitely wrapped box from the bodyguard, her eyes curved into a sweet, heart-melting smile.

Bai Xiaocha, noticing Xia Yue hadn’t returned for a while, came out to check—only to be immediately struck by Luo Xinyu’s radiant expression.

“Sorry, Xiyu-jie! I think I’ve found a new sister to worship!”

Unlike Leng Xiyu’s cool, aloof style, Luo Xinyu was the type to make hearts flutter at first sight—exactly Bai Xiaocha’s preference.

This was the kind of gentle big sister she wanted! Or someone like Leng Xiyu, radiating security! But as for Xia Yue, who kept bullying her? Hmph, she could get lost~

“This must be your good friend, right? Here, I brought a gift for you too~”

Bai Xiaocha was instantly recognized by Luo Xinyu the moment she appeared.

According to the files, Xia Yue’s closest friends at school were her two roommates.

“Huh? I get one too?! Thank you, sister!”

Without hesitation, Bai Xiaocha snuggled into Luo Xinyu’s arms, acting like a clingy child.

With her petite, loli frame, the childish behavior didn’t seem out of place at all~ As a blue-haired cutie, Bai Xiaocha firmly believed that adorable meant getting away with anything~

“Oh no~ Xiaocha, did you trip? Let me help you up~”

Seeing the little perv dive into the new pretty sister’s embrace, Xia Yue’s eyes gleamed as she pretended to fuss over Bai Xiaocha, pulling her back while fake-concernedly asking if she’d hurt herself.

The dumb loli internally screamed: Evil Xiaocha! Ruining my fun again! Waaah, no more gentle big sister hugs!

She turned to Leng Xiyu, who had walked over, and immediately threw herself into her arms instead.

…This kid was hopeless.

Xia Yue facepalmed.

In class, everyone knew the three of them were close, so this kind of intimacy was fine—but they were in front of a stranger now! Wasn’t this just embarrassing?

“Pfft, Xiaocha-mei is adorable too.”

The affectionate antics actually charmed Luo Xinyu—though childish, they were oddly endearing.

It was like watching a 2D character step into the real world, their very aesthetic clashing with everyone else’s.

“Here, this one’s for you.”

Since Xia Yue and Bai Xiaocha both got gifts, Leng Xiyu naturally wasn’t left out—another large, beautifully wrapped box was placed in her hands.

“Go ahead and open them~”

Luo Xinyu had full faith in her bodyguard’s taste—she was sure his picks would perfectly suit the three girls.

And sure enough.

When Xia Yue saw the exquisitely crafted Hatsune Miku figurine inside the box, her jaw dropped.

She’d had her eye on this exact model for ages but could never justify spending 3,000 yuan on it—yet here it was, falling into her lap out of nowhere!

She stared at Luo Xinyu, eyes sparkling.

This was the one time her useless onii-chan had ever been helpful!

“Xinyu-jie, if you’ll have me… I’d like to call you my sworn sister!”
