With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 97

“So adorable!”

Luo Xinyu did not hold back her praise.

And rightly so—as a genuine high school beauty, Xia Yue certainly had more than just a few charms.

Plus, with Xia Xi looking this shy and flustered, it was more than enough to make certain fans weak in the knees.

“Thank you.”

Even though the compliment was directed at Xia Yue’s appearance, Xia Xi, acting as her stand-in, politely said thanks, just like when he had accepted gifts on her behalf before.

“Bro… my adorable little imouto, come here and let your big brother give you a hug!”

Looking at her older brother, who now resembled a little princess, Xia Yue couldn’t resist the urge to pull him into her arms and give him a good squeeze, just like she often did with Bai Xiaocha.

Even though it was Xia Xi in her body that she wanted to hug, Xia Yue still had to say it—she wasn’t narcissistic! She just liked cute things, was that so wrong?!

“Ahem! Ahem!”

Hearing Xia Yue use his body to say such pervy things, Xia Xi couldn’t help but cough twice as a warning.

Fortunately, Xia Yue still had some conscience. Catching the hint, she quickly toned it down.

“I’m going to try on another one!”

Pulling another outfit from the gift bag, Xia Xi darted right back into Xia Yue’s room.

He didn’t want Luo Xinyu staring at him while he was in his sister’s body—it just made him feel like some “weird older brother” who enjoyed wearing girls’ clothes.

Once inside Xia Yue’s room, Xia Xi took off the pink-and-white Lolita dress and glanced down at the noticeable tent in the underwear, feeling a bit helpless.

His longtime “little brother” seemed to be reacting strongly to the sensations of being in a girl’s body—so strongly that no amount of mental suppression could calm it down.

He tossed the dress onto the bed and unfolded the next outfit.

It was a school uniform set, similar to those worn in a certain province known for cherry blossoms.

The white blouse fit just right, with no tightness across the chest. Next came the black top, connected to a pleated skirt.

The skirt seemed a bit short, barely covering the upper thighs and leaving most of his legs exposed to the cool air.

Then came a beige, or perhaps light brown, academic-style blazer.

Finally, black calf-length socks and brown leather shoes—by now, Xia Xi was pretty used to wearing this kind of stuff.

Standing in front of the mirror, he felt like this outfit looked somewhat familiar.

Hadn’t he seen it in some anime in his past life?

Following a vague memory, he tried styling his sister’s hair into a combination of a hime cut and M-shaped bangs, then tied a short little ponytail at the back of her head. Paired with the rest of her hair flowing down, it looked very youthful.

….

“This one really suits you too!”

Luo Xinyu gazed at the blushing girl who stood at about 150 cm and marveled at how good the Xia family’s genes were.

Even though neither sibling was particularly tall, they both had slender, well-proportioned figures.

“Of course~ My… little sister is naturally beautiful. She looks cute in anything!”

Xia Yue was clearly tooting her own horn.

“Seems like you, as her big brother, really adore your sister~”

Seeing “Xia Xi” look so proud, Luo Xinyu felt happy too. For some reason, spending time with these two always felt relaxing and fun—way better than the gloomy atmosphere in her massive villa.

“By the way, if I remember correctly, isn’t the relationship between us—no, between you and my older brother—just that of an author and a fan? Why would you give us such expensive gifts?”

Xia Xi had actually been wanting to ask this for a while.

Logically, Luo Xinyu was just a fan of his novels. She shouldn’t be going to such lengths.

“My relationship with your brother is special. It’s not just author and fan~ We’re very close friends.”

Well… close friends who’ve shared the same body, bathed together, slept in the same bed, under the same covers~

Luo Xinyu kept the latter part to herself.

She definitely wouldn’t say that out loud. If this got revealed too early, it wouldn’t do either of them any good. Xia Xi, being the pure, easily flustered guy he was, might feel too awkward if his identity was exposed and never come into her body again—that would be a disaster.

Xia Xi, on the other hand, really wanted to make complaints.

Haven’t we only met once in real life? And we only exchanged a few words because we shared a table at a BBQ place. How does that make us “very close friends”?

Even though they got along well “online,” their real-life identities were different.

Chenxi is Chenxi, Xia Xi is Xia Xi—they’re not the same!

“Yep, that’s right. We’re very close friends.”

Xia Yue, never one to avoid stirring the pot, immediately went along with Luo Xinyu.

Even though she didn’t know the exact nature of the relationship between Xinyu-jiejie and her dumb older brother, it didn’t matter! If Xinyu-jiejie said they were close friends, then they were close friends! As for her idiot brother’s opinion… hehe~ Right now, she was the older brother, so what she said went!

Besides, over the past month, Xinyu-jiejie had often visited her at school or sent her little gifts. In her heart, she already considered Xinyu-jiejie one of them.

“Alright, alright~”

With both of them saying so, Xia Xi didn’t press further. He just quietly picked up the next outfit, ready to change and model it for them.

“Wait a moment~”

Luo Xinyu suddenly stopped him.

“You must be tired from changing clothes so much. Come sit here and rest for a bit. We still haven’t opened Xia Xi’s gift—let’s take a look together.”

She patted the sofa cushion next to her, signaling for him to sit there.

Seeing an escape from this embarrassing dress-up game, Xia Xi obediently took the opportunity and sat down beside Luo Xinyu.

The moment he sat, Luo Xinyu’s hand gently landed on his head, softly stroking his hair.

Then, with a little pressure, she guided his head to rest on her lap.

Luo Xinyu’s legs had no sensation, but that didn’t stop her from giving Xia Xi the lap pillow treatment.

After all, she couldn’t feel anything—it wasn’t like her legs were decayed or amputated. On the surface, they still looked like perfectly fine, presentable girl legs.

Xia Xi struggled a little, trying to sit up, but Luo Xinyu held him down each time. She seemed determined to give him this “Welfare.”

Whatever, this isn’t so bad anyway. A young lady’s lap pillow isn’t something just anyone gets to experience.

On the other side, Xia Yue picked up the gift box from the table, deftly unwrapped it, and took out what was inside.

It was a very handsome men’s bracelet—the kind that clearly looked expensive.

Luo Xinyu had specially commissioned it through connections, making sure it perfectly matched Xia Xi’s vibe. Well… it was still a bit on the delicate side, but that was fine. It could even be used to mark her territory.

After all, when a guy wears a hair tie or a bracelet like this, everyone knows what it implies.

Let’s just say, this young lady had plenty of little tricks up her sleeve~

“Thank you, Xinyu. I really like it.”

Xia Yue held the bracelet, examining it from all angles, then put it on her wrist.

Seeing this, a smile spread across Luo Xinyu’s face—a truly satisfied one this time.
