Chapter 68 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

### Chapter 68: Exposed After passing the fruit platter to the two girls, the homebody Su Qi had no idea what to do next. In truth, she wanted to chat with them just like in a boys' dormitory. However, her expertise lay in programming, drawing comics, and making H-games. Discussing these topics with boys could strengthen their bond, but even the socially inept Su Qi understood that bringing them up with girls would definitely cost her points. However, Su Qi was actually mistaken. Recently, the two girls had been playing the games she developed and were eager to discuss the details with her—for reasons that benefited themselves, of course! At this awkward moment, social butterfly Wang Zijin played a crucial role. Faced with the potential awkwardness, she immediately came up with no fewer than ten solutions. Squinting her almond-shaped eyes slightly, she asked with a smile, "Su Qi, how come you went out yesterday in such a cute bunny-eared outfit? Weren't you afraid of being kidnapped?" Successfully integrated into the chat, An Ning had just learned through QQ about Su Qi's harebrained encounter with a group member the previous night! Even though An Ning knew Su Qi needed to take photos, why did it have to be in the library? Couldn't she just take them at home and use her editing skills to add a library background? At this moment, Su Qi was obediently eating a grape. Hearing Wang Zijin's words, she got so nervous that she swallowed the peeled grape whole! "Ah, ah, ah," Su Qi coughed. She realized that Wang Zijin always managed to say shocking things with a cheerful demeanor. What could be more embarrassing than being called out for wearing a bunny-eared outfit in person? Su Qi felt it was the most humiliating moment in her 18 years of life! And why was a bunny-eared JK girl so attractive anyway? Aren't there tons of beauties online? Su Qi was puzzled. How could she become an online sensation just by wearing bunny ears? Could it really have something to do with the system? As she suspected, the bunny ears not only stood out in real life but even in photos, they had a uniquely captivating allure. Hence, they garnered so much attention. The system felt gratified hearing Wang Zijin mention the host's popularity. After all, it had invested a lot of its own resources. If there were no reaction, it would be heartbroken. Unaware of the bunny ears' effects, Su Qi faced a tough choice. Her current appearance had a rating of 7. According to the initial system description, there were only five people with a 7 rating in all of Su Province. What would happen when she completed her beginner’s quest in a few days and her rating increased to 8? But failing the quest... No, no—she didn't want to face that, especially with men! As Su Qi stopped pondering, she noticed Wang Zijin and An Ning reaching out to take her picture. She quickly retreated, worried that her chest, bound tightly with silk stockings, would be exposed if they took a photo! But there was no escaping An Ning and Wang Zijin in such a confined space. Compared to Wang Zijin, An Ning was quicker, hugging Su Qi's slender waist and performing the Heimlich maneuver! Su Qi felt herself being effortlessly lifted by An Ning, her face burning with embarrassment. She couldn't believe that a manly man like her was being picked up so easily by a delicate campus belle. Where was her dignity? The grape was expelled from her throat! It rolled on the ground to Wang Zijin's feet, its green translucent skin glistening, now adorned with strands of Su Qi's saliva, making it appear even more tempting. Wang Zijin glanced down at the grape, swallowing unconsciously. Then, to her surprise, her mouth started watering. She was taken aback by her own thoughts—did she really want to eat it? But before she could think further, An Ning disdainfully picked up the grape with a tissue and threw it in the trash. An Ning was a bit irked. She had just been reminiscing about Su Qi's slender waist, feeling its delicate skin even through the thick hoodie. She even thought Su Qi's waist was slimmer than her own. Before she could attempt to touch it again, she noticed her best friend fixating on the grape almost in a trance. An Ning believed that if given a few more minutes, her friend might actually eat it! If that happened, how would their dinner plan in two days proceed? Wang Zijin quickly reacted, handing Su Qi a glass of water. As Su Qi felt fresh air entering her lungs, she instinctively forgot to alter her voice, blurting out, "Thank you!" Immediately, all three of them froze in place! "After eating that grape, my throat felt a bit uncomfortable. How did it get so thin!" Su Qi awkwardly explained. The two campus belles remained silent, their eyes locked onto Su Qi like a pair of hawks. It felt reminiscent of a mouse encountering a cat! With the two belles sitting on the bed and herself sitting on the floor, Su Qi felt as if they were mountains pressing down on her. Trying to stand up to gain some momentum, her legs wobbled, and she instinctively pressed her knees together. This action, coupled with her innocent and pitiful eyes, perfectly embodied the essence of a young girl. Seeing Su Qi in this state, Wang Zijin and An Ning finally understood the expression Wang Yun had earlier that morning—it was all about this! Su Qi, Su Qi, you fooled us so thoroughly! At this moment, if they still didn't realize Su Qi was a girl, they might as well give up their spots at this prestigious university! As Wang Zijin contemplated exposing Su Qi's true identity, her friend interjected with a smile: "Su Qi, the student council has some urgent matters. We must head back to campus now. Don't forget about Professor Liu's class in the afternoon!" An Ning tugged the hesitant Wang Zijin out of the room! As they passed by Su Qi, An Ning made a point of comparing their heights, casting a meaningful glance at Su Qi's shoes. She nodded subtly, a slightly cruel smile forming on her lips. Seeing this smile, Wang Zijin shivered. Since childhood, anyone who saw An Ning's smile ended up in big trouble! The words she intended to speak remained unvoiced in her heart. Hearing the door close, Su Qi felt her heart racing. She feared that these two beautiful campus belles had discovered her secret. Patting her chest, she admired her own quick-wittedness. Little did she know, her secret had already been discovered. The system, watching Su Qi blissfully eat the remaining fruit, debated whether to reveal the truth. After a few seconds, it decided against it. It recalled some plotlines its host had drawn. Now, it had replaced the male lead with a female one, which would surely make the host happy! After devouring almost the entire untouched bowl of cherries, half an orange, and some sliced fruit, Su Qi finally realized she hadn't eaten all day. She took out the leftover meal box from the previous day and indulged in a hearty feast. Even the best meal box, left for a day, would render the food cold. Su Qi didn't bother reheating it in the microwave but continued to eat it straight, grabbing it like a boy. Though cold, it was still delicious. "Strongly advise the host to maintain a consistent eating schedule. Avoid cold food and refrain from consuming too many cold fruits. Always eat fruit after meals," the system's voice recommended, halting Su Qi's sushi-grabbing hand momentarily. She mumbled in response: "Next time, next time for sure!" The system noted its attempt to advise the host. However, what could a system do to wake someone pretending to be asleep? When the time comes for tears, it won't be blamed! Meanwhile, An Ning and Wang Zijin got into their car. "You realized it too, right? Why didn't you expose her today?" Wang Zijin asked, turning to An Ning. An Ning's car was an intimidating Mercedes G-Wagon, befitting her dominant personality. The reason for this choice was simple: in the event of a collision, she stood a greater chance of winning. "Exposing her today would give her time to prepare. Before the show starts, we need to make all the necessary preparations!" An Ning said with a smile, one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting by the window, as the wind playfully tousled her hair. From Wang Zijin's perspective, An Ning seemed carefree and poetic, exuding a unique beauty. With a mature, melodic voice, An Ning added: "Since she loves pretending to be a boy, it's our duty as her seniors to let her experience the joys of being a girl. For her own good, we'll use her methods!" Hearing her friend's words, Wang Zijin's almond eyes narrowed playfully, resembling a sly fox. "What if she begs for mercy?" "Hehe, she won't even think about it!" The robust Mercedes G-Wagon sped down the asphalt road, the wind sweeping away a few leaves and dispersing the faint, sinister laughter from within the car, leaving no trace...
