Chapter 67 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
Chapter 67: Sisters Su Qi weakly set her phone down, staring at the 99+ notifications on her QQ account. It's the first time in her life she felt this popular, but instead of bringing her joy, it gave her a headache! It seems—no, at this moment, Su Qi fully understood from the university's forum that this once invisible figure had now reached an unprecedented level of attention. The reason, undeniably, was not because of her looks but her gender. The forum was abuzz with a heated debate over whether a guy could be as attractive as a girl. It’s known that disputes usually amplify the attention! Many women were shocked by some screenshots of Su Qi from her freshman year. Su Qi had never been considered unattractive—her above-average looks were enough to be liked by An Ning. Consequently, many upperclassmen and underclassmen wanted her WeChat and phone number, making many male students both envious and furious. Yet, the thought of her as that soft and adorable bunny girl quenched a good portion of their jealousy. Upon seeing the photos, these guys slowly realized they weren't just attracted to beautiful women but to beautiful people. One look at Su Qi's charming smile left their throats parched, wanting... Unbeknownst to Su Qi, word spread that she would be attending an English class in the afternoon. The news quickly climbed the ranks—not just on campus, but even the working alumni expressed an interest in seeing this versatile and alluring junior! Typically, university public classes combine three classes and many absentees, usually leaving plenty of empty seats. A few extra students wouldn’t be noticeable! However, the issue became severe as everyone harbored the same thought! After setting aside her phone, Su Qi was unaware of the brewing storm on the forum regarding her class. She truly felt the pressure of time and tasks! After calculating, she realized she had two photos and three videos left to film—and only today, tomorrow, and the day after by midnight to complete the task! The most critical part was practicing the secret skills—three-fifths unfinished—preventing her from filming the Asuna video. Su Qi sighed, feeling like she was back in the urgent days of high school exams. Remembering the penalty for failure, Su Qi quietly opened the secret manual and instinctively picked up the nearby flexible sword. Her light and agile movements resembled a graceful young swallow, a sight to behold! She hadn't practiced long—barely three or four sets—when the doorbell rang! Su Qi's heart skipped a beat, fearing it might be people from the chat group. She tiptoed to the peephole, only to be stunned by the sight of two beautiful women—Wang Zijin and An Ning. Glancing at her outfit—her flat chest wrapped in soft stockings, and her curves hidden by baggy sweatshirts—she quickly changed out of the red sneakers from her tracksuit into her previous size 42 athletic shoes, cleared her throat, and rasped, “Coming, coming!” When Su Qi opened the door, a fresh sight greeted her. Wang Zijin was dressed in a vibrant, youthful outfit—a slightly tight Pikachu top paired with hot pants, exposing her long, slender legs, making Su Qi’s heart itch! An Ning, on the other hand, wore simple white casual attire. Her long pants entirely covered her beautiful legs, disappointing Su Qi slightly. Yet, while her casual pants could cover her legs, her top could hardly contain the sensuous curves of her upper body, making Su Qi worry they might burst out! Today, An Ning had also carefully styled her makeup. Her alluring eyes, adorned with curly eyelashes, seemed to cradle swings. A delicate beauty mark at the corner of her eye added to her charm! An Ning scanned the room upon entering, noticing the kitchen garbage bin filled with food packaging, confirming there was nothing suspicious, she felt relieved. She then began sniffing the air. After certain activities, the air often carries a decadent scent, albeit An Ning had never witnessed it firsthand, believing in the old saying: “Though one doesn’t eat pork, they've seen pigs run.” Smelling the faint fragrance on Su Qi, a gentle comfort filled An Ning's senses. “Practicing swordsmanship?” Wang Zijin noticed the sword in Su Qi’s hand and her flushed face from exercise. “Yes, I promised someone to take photos, so I thought I'd take some while practicing swords!” Su Qi said, guiding the two to the bed. Luckily, Wang Yun had bought fruits the day before, or Su Qi wouldn't have known how to entertain guests! Wang Yun's fruits were diverse and looked much better than the misshapen ones found in the men's dormitory, appealing in appearance alone! Su Qi filled a fruit platter with various fruits, feeling conflicted about the cherries but, seeing the two charming beauties on the bed, placed a few extra cherries onto the platter. An Ning and Wang Zijin, puzzled by Su Qi’s hesitation at the fridge, watched her slowly bring the platter over, her eyes glued to the cherries! Placing the platter before them, Su Qi beamed what she believed to be a kind smile. But to An Ning and Wang Zijin, it seemed amusing. Is Su Qi’s smile beautiful? With her inherently delicate features, her smile nearly resembled a gentle spring breeze. Although her smile invited them to eat freely, her clear eyes fixed stubbornly on the fruit platter, reflecting her evident reluctance! Is this what they call saying no but meaning yes? Both Wang Zijin and An Ning were amused by Su Qi's expressions, struggling to hold back their laughter, melting away the gloom from the parking lot earlier. But questions of principle still needed answers. “What’s your relationship with my sister?” Wang Zijin asked seriously. “Landlord and tenant, what else could it be?” Su Qi initially puzzled by the question, soon realized her male persona led to such an inquiry, likely prompted by Wang Yun’s call revealing they lived together! Alone man, woman, dark night—it clearly suggested something happened! Wang Zijin’s subsequent question confirmed it: “Did you sleep together last night?” The simplest solution would be for Su Qi to reveal her true gender! However, Su Qi didn’t want to, not out of fear of being reported to the school, but afraid they would distance themselves upon learning her true gender. Frankly, Su Qi felt a sisterly affection for Bai Miao and Wang Yun, but her feelings towards the sisters were deeper, especially towards An Ning, who had silently pursued her for nearly a year! Thinking of the consistently friendly An Ning, who she always “coincidentally” met when going out—how could there be so many coincidences in the world? Most were deliberate! How could she not like such an An Ning! But now, being a girl herself, did she indeed have the right to be with her? Back to Wang Zijin’s question, Su Qi replied with some selfishness: “I slept on the couch; Sister Wang Yun only came back because she prefers her own bed!” Little did Su Qi know, she underestimated An Ning and the possessiveness intrinsic to the term "yandere." As a yandere, how could she be bothered by mere gender differences! As a result, Su Qi suffered many hardships from not telling them the truth, and despite her pleas, they remained unmoved. It became a night Su Qi would never forget—but that's a story for another time!
