With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 88

“So you’re saying your magic backfired, and you might turn into someone else within seven days?”

Luo Xinyu tilted her head slightly as she confirmed Xia Xi’s explanation.

She had initially thought he was just here to vent about some minor everyday misfortunes—but instead, he dropped the bombshell that he might physically transform into another person.

“Yeah. Ugh, can you believe it? Me, the Grand Sorcerer under the Heavenly Emperor’s command, reduced to… bleeding from the rear? How unlucky can you get?”

Hearing such a crass, chuuni statement spoken in Luo Xinyu’s elegant voice created an absurd dissonance.

But neither of them cared. They were close enough that formalities didn’t matter, and with no one else around, there was no need to maintain the refined young lady act.

“Pfft—well, at least remember to use a hot water bottle on your stomach. It helps with the pain.”

Luo Xinyu wasn’t sure who he might turn into, but since he didn’t seem particularly distressed, she didn’t press further. Instead, she gently suggested ways to ease his discomfort.

“By the way… I’ve never noticed you dealing with, uh, that time of the month?”

Xia Xi spent most of his days visiting Luo Xinyu’s body, yet he’d never experienced the same kind of cramping agony as his original self.

“Oh, mine usually doesn’t hurt! So I don’t really feel anything—just have to stock up on pads ahead of time.”

Luo Xinyu answered his personal question without hesitation.

Truthfully, she had no intention of hiding anything from Xia Xi. If he asked, she’d answer.

“Lucky you~”

Xia Xi couldn’t help but suspect that his little sister’s painful periods were due to her constantly fooling around with Bai Xiao Tea at school—always thinking about naughty things, ruining her health.

“Whatever, not gonna dwell on that.”

He shook his head, causing the silky long hair draped over his shoulders to sway, releasing a faint floral scent from her shampoo.

“It’s getting late. Want me to take you for a quick walk before I head back?”

Thanks to their high affinity, Xia Xi and Luo Xinyu could freely swap body parts. So every time he borrowed her body, he’d lend her his legs in return—letting her enjoy the simple pleasure of walking. Call it… rent payment?

A soft white glow enveloped Luo Xinyu’s legs—thin and slightly atrophied from years of disuse—transforming them into Xia Xi’s muscular ones.

Wait.

Whose legs are these?!

Xia Xi stared in disbelief at the petite, white-knee-socked limbs now attached to Luo Xinyu’s body. He pinched one experimentally, just to be sure.

“Midnight already? Looks like your legs swapped with someone else’s.”

Luo Xinyu, however, seemed intrigued.

This was her first time experiencing normal female legs. Not that they felt much different from Xia Xi’s male ones, honestly.

Xia Xi had arrived at Luo Xinyu’s place around mid-afternoon. How had chatting and doodling eaten up the entire day?

Time always flew when he was with her.

He stood up and walked to the full-length mirror.

Xia Yue’s short legs paired with Luo Xinyu’s mature frame created a bizarre, top-heavy silhouette.

Even weirder—despite Luo Xinyu’s thin nightgown, the borrowed lower half still wore a pair of black shorts printed with cartoon bears.

The combination of mint-green Hatsune Miku slippers, thigh-high white socks, and those tiny black shorts looked scandalously out of place on Luo Xinyu’s usually dignified figure.

Ahem. “Sorry about this. Seems like something’s up with my original body—I should head back.”

Making up an excuse, Xia Xi swapped their legs back and prepared to return.

He knew Xia Yue would still be awake at this hour. If she noticed the leg swap, who knew what chaos she’d unleash? He had to keep an eye on her.

“Mhm, go ahead. I should get some sleep too.”

Luo Xinyu nodded sweetly, regaining full control of her body.

Recalling the Hatsune Miku slippers from earlier, she suddenly covered her mouth, stifling a giggle.

“So that’s who it was! No wonder he wasn’t worried~”

After a good laugh, she had an idea and called her maid to summon a bodyguard.

“Chen, book me a flight for the day after tomorrow~”

…..

Meanwhile, back in his own body, Xia Xi felt an odd chill on his thighs—and something tugging at his pants.

“Huff… huff…”

Xia Yue’s panting came from the foot of the bed.

Xia Xi propped himself up just in time to see two small hands gripping the hem of his bear-print shorts, yanking them downward with all her might.

“XIA YUE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

He scrambled backward, pulling the shorts—now halfway down his calves—back into place.

“Ara~ Onii-chan, you’re awake~”

Xia Yue immediately crouched, hugging her knees, feigning innocence.

“Ehehe, I just came to tuck you in! You said your stomach hurt, so I didn’t want you catching a chill~”

Xia Xi glanced at the crumpled blanket tossed haphazardly on the floor, then back at his sister with deep suspicion.

“Ahaha~ Onii-chan, sometimes being too smart isn’t good, you know?”

Realizing the jig was up, Xia Yue dropped the act and stood.

Xia Xi’s long legs were now hers.

“No clue why we swapped everything below the waist except the super private parts, but… being tall feels amazing!”

With a mischievous grin, she pounced onto the bed, grabbing the white thigh-high socks on Xia Xi’s borrowed legs.

“Don’t resist, Onii-chan~ I’m just reclaiming what’s mine~”

Technically, she wasn’t wrong—the shorts and socks did belong to her. But forcibly stripping them off? Unacceptable! If anything, he should be the one taking them off!

“Let go!”

“No~”

“Tch—want me to cut your summer allowance?!”

Money: the ultimate trump card.

Xia Yue instantly released the socks, retreating to the doorway with a smug smirk.

“Hmph~ Who knew Onii-chan had such a passion for wearing his little sister’s clothes? Using allowance to threaten poor, sweet imouto… how cruel~”

Before Xia Xi could retort, she quickly added:

“But it’s fine! As your most beloved little sister, I’ll respect all your weird hobbies~”

Gently closing the door, her teasing voice drifted through the gap:

“Just a heads-up—Xia Yue’s feet are super ticklish~ Onii-chan better not experiment while you’ve got them, okay~?”
