With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 96

Xia Xi raised his hands over his head, causing his loose T-shirt to slide halfway down, revealing his pale left shoulder.

“Hoo~”

He took a deep breath, then attempted a backflip!

“Thud—”

His little bottom landed hard on the floor. The same bottom that was still slightly sore from Xia Yue’s spanking the day before now suffered another major impact.

“Are you okay?”

Just from the dull thud of the impact, Luo Xinyu could imagine how much it must have hurt.

She really shouldn’t have made such a joke—it ended up hurting someone.

Seeing the concern in Luo Xinyu’s eyes, Xia Xi stood up, straightened his posture, and instead of rubbing his sore bottom, he gave it a couple of pats before crossing his arms proudly.

“Nothing’s wrong at all!”

Xia Yue, watching from the side, was struggling to keep from laughing, her face turning red.

Her older brother was just as clumsy as that airheaded Bai Xiaocha.

But honestly, watching her dumb brother smoothly pull off such a “tsundere” act in her body was weirdly skilled—maybe he had a hidden talent for being a tsundere loli?

Her mind conjured an image of Xia Xi transforming from her brother into an older sister—a legally loli-sized one—hands on her hips, pointing angrily at her while shouting “Baka! Urusai!”

Hehehe, just thinking about it was adorable.

The bodyguard watching all this was clenching his fists, itching with frustration.

In his eyes, “Xia Xi” was supposed to be the older brother, but instead of caring for his little sister, he was teasing and laughing at her. What kind of man does that?!

Luo Xinyu noticed the bulging vein on the bodyguard’s forehead and gently said, “Brother Chen, why don’t you take a walk outside? I’m fine here at my friend’s place.”

The bodyguard nodded.

He wasn’t the only one keeping an eye on the young lady—there were several others stationed in nearby high-rises, so her safety wasn’t a concern.

Besides, he couldn’t stand watching this jerk bully his little sister any longer, so he gladly stepped outside to stand guard.

“Um… little Yue, I brought you a gift. I hope you like it.”

Once the bodyguard was gone, she pointed to a few bags hanging from the wheelchair’s handles.

Even though the gift was meant for Xia Yue, Xia Xi, now acting as her stand-in, had to play the part and thank her with exaggerated excitement.

“Thank you, Sis Xinyu!”

He took the bags and pulled out an item from one of them…

Well… it was an adorable pink-and-white Lolita-style princess dress, complete with white lace socks and little pink-and-white shoes…

“What do you think? I thought this would suit you perfectly~”

Luo Xinyu was eagerly looking forward to seeing Xia Xi’s reaction when he put it on. After all, he was a girl right now—how bad could wearing girls’ clothes be?

“Yeah, yeah! Bro… I mean, little sister, this dress is so pretty. You should go try it on!”

Xia Yue’s eyes lit up at the sight of the dress.

This time, she genuinely thought the dress was beautiful and wanted to see how it looked on someone—it wasn’t just about teasing her brother. Innocent little Yue just liked pretty clothes—what could be wrong with that?~

“Looks like you really like this outfit too, Xia Xi? How about letting little sister Yue keep this one? I bought plenty of other styles for her anyway.”

Hearing this, Xia Xi glanced at Xia Yue’s eager expression and immediately changed his tune, speaking up before she could say anything.

“No! Sis Xinyu bought this for me, and I love it! I’m going to go change into it right now!”

To avoid having his male body be forced into cross-dressing in front of Luo Xinyu, Xia Xi was willing to go all out.

He could feel his cheeks burning as he spoke in such a possessive, girly tone.

He grabbed the dress and the little shoes and hurried into the room, doing his best impression of a little girl thrilled with her new gift.

If he’d looked back, he would have noticed Luo Xinyu wearing a rare, mischievous smile.

It seemed that ever since she started going out and interacting with society, our proper young lady had picked up a few naughty habits.

“I never knew you had a thing for girls’ clothes, Xia Xi.”

She turned and stared directly into Xia Yue’s eyes.

Xia Yue almost blurted out, “What’s wrong with liking pretty dresses?”, but then she remembered—she was currently posing as her brother. If she said that, wouldn’t it make him seem like a cross-dressing pervert in Sis Xinyu’s eyes?

No, no!

She was counting on Luo Xinyu becoming her future sister-in-law—she couldn’t let her brother’s image take a hit!

“It’s not that I like girls’ clothes specifically. It’s just human nature to appreciate beautiful, cute things. Like you, Xinyu—you’re very pretty and adorable, and I really like that.”

Pfft—!

Luo Xinyu, who had just taken a sip of milk, nearly spat it right into Xia Yue’s face.

Did your brother know you were using his body to flirt with and confess to a girl?!

But… because the voice was Xia Xi’s, it kind of felt like being confessed to by someone she liked—even if it was a little cheesy…

“Thank you for the compliment. You’re actually the third person to say that to me.”

The third?

Oh no!

Her brother already had two rivals!

Good thing she was clever enough to slip in a semi-confession early—otherwise her clueless big brother would still be in the dark!

“Haha, seems like you’re quite popular, Xinyu~”

From the sly look in Xia Yue’s eyes, Luo Xinyu instantly guessed what she was thinking.

She was obviously fishing for who the other two were.

“Well, not exactly. Besides my dad and my little brother, you’re actually the first.”

Luo Xinyu thought about how every time her dad visited, he’d pat her head and proudly say, “That’s my girl—perfectly inherited your mom and dad’s excellent genes.”

What a narcissist~

Then there was her ever-accommodating little brother, who never failed to call her ” esteemed older sister” and loved showing off to his friends about having such a beautiful and kind sister.

Those two… really cared about her…

Hearing this, Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was just her dad and brother? No problem then—the sweet, gullible Sis Xinyu was still within their grasp~

“I see, well then…”

Xia Yue was about to probe further when Xia Xi, now changed into the dress, shyly emerged from the room, catching Luo Xinyu’s attention.

“H-how do I look…?”

Xia Xi held up the skirt to keep it from dragging on the floor, then slowly turned in a small circle to show off the full outfit.

It had taken a lot of effort to get into this dress.

The zipper was in the back, and with his current short arms, it was a struggle to pull it up.

Once it was on, since the skirt hung flat, he’d “borrowed” a petticoat from his sister’s closet to fluff it out.

Honestly, having that petticoat underneath was like wearing safety shorts—it felt so secure!

Well… if you ignored a certain little tent pitching downstairs…
