With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 85
“You’re awake! And now, you’re a cute boy!”
The first thing Liu Yiyi heard upon waking up was this outrageous line from her older sister.
What did she mean, she’d turned into a cute boy? It wasn’t like she’d grown a new appendage overnight!
Wait—
She remembered… Yesterday, the three of them had swapped identities. Combined with what her sister just said…
A jolt of panic shot through her, and she immediately looked down.
Nothing!
Her view was completely unobstructed!
Did that mean…
The “sister” in front of her was actually Xia Xi in disguise, and she herself had taken on Xia Xi’s appearance?!
No way! She didn’t want to turn into some strange guy!
Liu Jiaying tilted her head, puzzled by her sister’s pale face.
Was what she said really that scary? She’d gone completely white… Maybe she should cut back on these kinds of jokes…
“Alright, alright, get up and eat. You slept straight through till noon.”
But Liu Yiyi wasn’t listening. Instead, she kept muttering, “I turned into a guy… I don’t wanna be a guy… No way…”
It wasn’t until Liu Jiaying gave her butt a sharp smack that the girl finally snapped out of it.
She reached down to check.
Nothing!
She was still a girl!
Thank goodness!
But… why was her view completely unobstructed? She fell silent…
Well, sleeping face-down was a bad idea. She wasn’t exactly well-endowed to begin with, and now, after a night of squishing, it seemed like they’d gotten even flatter.
…..
“Sis, where’s that guy?”
After freshening up, Liu Yiyi sat at the dining table, glancing around but not spotting the man from yesterday.
“He already went home. Did you think everyone lazes around all day like you?”
“Ugh, sis, you don’t get it. As a writer, inspiration strikes easiest in the dead of night!”
Liu Yiyi shrugged, grabbing a bite of shredded pork and stuffing a big mouthful of fragrant rice into her cheeks, chewing like a chipmunk.
“And that’s why you spent last night scrolling through videos of hot guys?”
Liu Jiaying shot her a look.
What kind of “inspiration” could possibly come from thirsting over abs or transformation clips?
Liu Yiyi coughed awkwardly. She was just doing necessary research to better describe the human form in her writing! She definitely wasn’t ogling anyone!
“Oh, check your photo gallery. There’s a surprise~”
A surprise? What surprise?
Liu Yiyi was sure her gallery only had the dozens of photos she took yesterday of Xia Xi in women’s clothing—nothing that should shock her.
Her slender finger tapped the screen, and the images reflected in her pupils…
“Sis! Big trouble! The photos… these photos… they’re haunted! They’re seriously haunted!”
Indeed, every picture of Xia Xi in women’s clothing had been replaced with images of her sister wearing the same outfits.
In fact, every photo taken yesterday that included Xia Xi had been swapped with Liu Jiaying.
“Don’t freak out. We should’ve expected this. After all, to everyone else yesterday, we looked like each other.”
As she spoke, Liu Jiaying showed her own gallery to Liu Yiyi.
“Though it’s nice having pics with my sister, I really wanted some with Xia Xi~”
All the photos from their shopping trip—originally of Xia Xi and Liu Jiaying—had turned into intimate sisterly snapshots.
In the pictures, Liu Yiyi was smiling sweetly, clinging to Liu Jiaying’s arm, her eyes brimming with affection, while Liu Jiaying looked away awkwardly.
If not for their obvious resemblance, anyone would’ve mistaken them for a sapphic couple.
Liu Yiyi had never imagined herself making such a lovesick expression.
But…
Seeing herself clinging to someone else’s arm, she felt an inexplicable discomfort.
If she remembered correctly, her sister’s softness had been pressed snugly against Xia Xi’s arm back then, even forming a slight cleavage.
But now, with herself in the picture, it just looked… bony.
Lost in thought, she silently got up and grabbed a carton of milk.
“I’m suddenly thirsty for some reason.”
“Mhm, I get it. Don’t worry, I won’t tease you~”
“Sis!”
Two hours earlier…
Xia Xi walked out of Liu Jiaying’s house, heading straight home without a backward glance—completely unaware of Lin Xuening watching from the corner.
Lin Xuening’s heart dropped as she saw Xia Xi emerge from the luxurious villa, looking flustered and walking hurriedly.
“No way… There’s no way Xia Xi would do something like that…”
Her mind automatically conjured up a scene of a poor boy seduced by a rich older woman, forced into her home for some bizarre, domineering play…
She pictured Xia Xi on all fours, a collar around his neck, trembling as he begged, “Punish me, Mistress!”
No, no!
Lin Xuening, get your mind out of the gutter! Xia Xi’s a decent guy! He wouldn’t do something like that! He must’ve… must’ve just had business with the villa’s owner!
That had to be it! There was no way her wild imagination was real!
Even though she’d tried to convince herself, the earlier mental images left her body feeling oddly warm.
Especially her face—now as red as a ripe apple.
A beautiful girl in a JK uniform, blushing and trembling on the street? To onlookers, it probably looked like she was testing out some… adult toy.
“Daddy, what’s wrong with that jiejie?”
Damn these nosy kids!
“Ahem, don’t stare. Let’s go.”
Though the father said they should leave, he couldn’t help sneaking a few extra glances at Lin Xuening.
Sigh… Kids these days are so bold.
Lin Xuening snapped out of it, quickly taking a sip of water to cool her overheating brain, then picked up her groceries and headed home.
She couldn’t dwell on this anymore. Right now, her goal was to master cooking a full, delicious meal!
With her mom’s guidance, she’d definitely become the Chef Lin that Xia Xi would adore.
She could already picture it—Xia Xi savoring her dishes, eyes shining as he begged, “Xuening, your cooking’s amazing! Will you make food for me forever?”
No, no, bad!
Lin Xuening, control your brain! Stop imagining things!
