With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 91

“Alright, I’ll head back now~”

After chatting for over half an hour, Xia Xi finally managed to send Lin Xuening off.

He threw off the blanket covering his legs, revealing his younger sister’s slightly sweat-dampened thighs.

“Serves you right~ Consider this your punishment for bossing your little sister around~”

Xia Yue popped out of her room, holding Xia Xi’s black casual pants and clumsily pulling them on.

“Why are you putting on pants?”

At home, the siblings usually lounged around in comfortable pajamas, only changing into regular clothes when they needed to go out.

But now, Xia Yue had already swapped her bear-print shorts for his casual pants—clearly gearing up for a trip outside.

“What else would I wear pants for? Obviously to go… jogging~”

Jogging?

Since when was this girl so motivated?

Back when he was in Bai Xiaocha’s body, he’d personally witnessed her struggling through morning exercises like it was torture.

“Quit looking at me like that!”

Xia Yue squirmed under her brother’s scrutinizing gaze.

“I just wanna try running without getting exhausted for once! Every time I see Xiyu-jie finish a run without even panting, I get so jealous.”

Thinking running wouldn’t be tiring in his body?

Xia Xi scoffed—she was in for a rude awakening.

Sure, she’d swapped out her internal organs and legs, but they were his—a fragile college student’s. While he was decently fit, running was still exhausting.

“Fine, fine. Just grab a cola on your way back. We’re out of drinks.”

If she wanted to try, let her. It wasn’t his legs that’d be sore later.

“Got it!”

With a loud bang of the door, the house was empty again, leaving Xia Xi alone.

Question: What should a guy do when he’s home alone?

Answer: Obviously…

Swap System, activate!

…..

“Long time no see, Ghost-san~”

Xia Xi felt something covering his right eye, making it hard to open. His left eye’s view was partially obscured by a few strands of bangs.

Looking down, he saw he was wearing a dark, gothic lolita-style outfit…

Hmm… Classic Xiaocha. Completely flat as ever~

“Long time no see. Are you cosplaying, Xiaocha?”

He tapped the glossy circular platform under his feet and glanced at the phone mounted on a tripod nearby—immediately guessing what she was up to.

“Mhm! I was bored at home and didn’t wanna do homework, so I’m indulging in my hobbies~”

Bai Xiaocha’s voice was cheerful. She’d been hoping for someone to help guide her poses.

Taking selfies alone meant relying on a mirror to check her posture, but since she was too familiar with her own appearance, she couldn’t always spot awkward angles.

Having someone to correct her would be a huge help.

“Ghost-san!”

“What’s up?”

Xia Xi lifted the eyepatch covering his right eye and checked the mirror—only to realize she’d even put in a colored contact lens for the hidden eye.

Talk about dedication. Even the parts no one sees are perfectly accurate?

“Could you… help me take some selfies?”

“I don’t know how to pose, though.”

“No problem! I’ll guide you!”

Though she called it “helping,” Xia Xi would still be the one controlling her body’s movements.

He remembered the character Bai Xiaocha was cosplaying—Takanashi Rikka? Some kind of chuunibyou loli.

The thought of striking cutesy, over-the-top poses in a middle-schooler’s body made him cringe internally.

Sure, Bai Xiaocha’s physique made it look natural, but the psychological dissonance was strong.

“No way. Do it yourself later.”

Xia Xi tried to refuse with a simple eye-roll and head turn—but the mirror reflected a blushing loli tilting her chin up in textbook tsundere fashion.

“Pleaaase~ Ghost-san is the best! If you help me this time, next time I’ll introduce you to some pretty cosplayer sisters so you can get close to them in my body~”

Damn this brat, tempting me like this!

Was Xia Xi some kind of hormone-driven idiot?!

Ahem. Then again…

If Bai Xiaocha was this desperate, who was he to crush a child’s innocent hopes?

Exactly! This was purely about making a kid happy! Nothing else!

“Fine. What do you want me to do?”

He feigned reluctance, sighing and shaking his head.

“Stop!”

“Huh? What?”

“That pose just now—the super-chuuni exasperated look! Ghost-san’s a natural!”

Xia Xi: “…”

He’d just shook his head. How was that a pose? And since when was he the chuuni one? It was Bai Xiaocha’s ridiculously moe body that made everything look anime-tier!

Under her insistence, Xia Xi recorded the “exasperated” motion as a short clip and saved it.

“What next?”

“Now… copy me~”

Xia Xi focused.

“Raise your right hand, palm forward!”

He extended his right arm, fingers splayed, chest out—like a robot firing a laser.

“Now, grab the eyepatch sealing your cursed right eye with your left hand!”

Cursed right eye? The weird vocabulary kept growing…

“Shout the incantation! ‘Shatter, reality! Sever, nerves! Banishment—this world!’”

Xia Xi cleared his throat, cheeks warming.

“S-Shatter… reality…”

“No, no! Ghost-san, you gotta be more passionate! And when you say the last line, rip off the eyepatch to reveal your golden right eye!”

Just hearing Bai Xiaocha’s instructions made Xia Xi’s toes curl inside her little leather shoes, let alone actually doing it.

“C’mon… This feels way too embarrassing…”

For the first time, Xia Xi genuinely mimicked Bai Xiaocha’s soft, whiny tone.

He knew this was a famous scene from the anime, but watching and reenacting were worlds apart. This level of unabashed dorkiness just wasn’t for a mildly socially anxious guy like him.

“C’mon, Ghost-san! Once you try it, you’ll love the feeling of letting go~”

Whatever! It wasn’t his body, and Bai Xiaocha didn’t know his real face anyway. Might as well treat it like a VR game!

“Shatter, reality!…”

…..

“Onii-chan, I’m back~ Boy stamina really is something else~”

“Huh? Onii-chan, why do you look so drained? Did you… hehe… do something naughty with your little sister’s legs?!”
