Chapter 76 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

### Chapter 76: The Shattering Dimensional Wall As the bell signaled the start of the second half of the class, English teacher Liu Li walked in on her modest heels. Today, she felt unusually confident. It appeared that the number of listeners in her class was comparable to those at expert lectures. Adjusting her glasses, she entered the classroom. Huh? Why were there suddenly so many more people? Compared to the first half of the class, there were dozens more students, filling up even the steps. Could it be that my class is truly this captivating? This thought only lasted for a second before Liu Li dismissed it. No way, no way—no matter how popular advanced mathematics classes were, her English class would never draw such attention. After all, it was just English! She soon noticed that the majority of the students were sneakily glancing towards the lower right corner of the room. Instinctively, she looked in that direction and saw Su Qi's eyes—pure and innocent like a fawn's—looking back at her. Her heart skipped a beat; the innocence carried a touch of natural naivety. Liu Li, 31 years old, a university teacher and married. Before she got married, she had two boyfriends during high school and college, respectively. But neither relationship lasted as the boys were swayed by more coquettish girls. These experiences did, however, help Liu Li grow, particularly in her ability to recognize and avoid deceitful people. She occasionally streamed anonymously and studied some psychology, learning to discern whether someone was being pretentious or nervous through subtle gestures. But when she looked at Su Qi now, her head buried under light yellow strands of hair, fidgeting nervously as Wang Zijin and An Ning, the two campus belles, teased her, there was no hint of falseness—it was genuine innocence. Wait—a moment, sitting with Wang Zijin, could this be the Su Qi who Wang Zijin mentioned was part of their class? Liu Li walked up to Su Qi, who instinctively looked up and rasped, “Hello, teacher. I’m Su Qi.” Her skin was tight and fair, looking extremely smooth, and her face was unadorned yet strikingly captivating. It was almost like a fox-spirit, yet the lustrous eyes added a touch of innocence and authenticity. Her long eyelashes fluttered with each blink, making her already innocent appearance even more endearing. No woman could resist such cuteness, not even 30-something Liu Li. She patted Su Qi’s head; the soft, silky hair was so pleasant to touch that she wanted to keep patting it. But remembering she had a class to teach, she reluctantly withdrew her hand. Liu Li was puzzled why such a girl had consistently attended school in male attire for over a year. Even though Wang Zijin said Su Qi was in female clothing, which man could have such small feet, such clear skin, and no Adam's apple? Although Su Qi spoke with a raspy voice, her slightly lowered chin action was unmissable to Liu Li’s keen eyes. Looks like I’ll have to talk to this girl after class. It’s dangerous for a girl to stay in the boys’ dormitory—like a sheep in a tiger's den! Seeing that Liu Laotaitai (a nickname for Liu Li) didn’t punish her or remark on her cross-dressing, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. If she angered Liu Laotaitai, wouldn’t she lose her precious striped panties? Patting her small chest in relief, her left little bunny jumped lively with her pats. An Ning, who was nearby, smirked, thinking that this little girl was still hiding her gender from them. Time for a little payback! “Su Qi, where did you buy this fake chest? It’s quite bouncy!” she teased, pinching Su Qi’s left side and kneading it. In this corner, only Liu Laotaitai on the podium and Wang Zijin on the other side could see. Wang Zijin, who was also very close to Su Qi, noticed the small shiver from Su Qi and An Ning’s mischievous hand. Good friends that they were, she understood instantly and reached out to grab Su Qi’s other side. “For real, where did you get this? It’s even warm! Modern tech is amazing,” Wang Zijin whispered to Su Qi. Su Qi was on the brink of losing her mind. So many people were watching her, and these two were still teasing her. Weren’t they afraid of being caught? Little did Su Qi know, these kinds of secrets between girls would never be discovered by others. Gu Panpan (another girl, presumably) commented that she was quite familiar with this kind of teasing among friends. Su Qi wanted to retort but the strange sensations flooding her body made her afraid to open her mouth. She feared any sound might slip out from between her clenched teeth. On the podium, Liu Li clearly saw Su Qi being bullied by the two campus belles. Her face was flushed, and her big eyes were misty. She looked pitiful. It was an indescribable feeling, like Su Qi was a delicious bun that made Liu Li want to gobble her up. Dropping a piece of chalk, she aimed perfectly and hit An Ning on the head. Though An Ning, immersed in teasing Su Qi, didn’t notice, Wang Zijin did. She nudged An Ning and signaled towards the teacher. “Ning, stand up,” Liu Li ordered. Usually, Liu Li wouldn’t bother with students making little noises. But seeing Su Qi being bullied made her uncomfortable. Her mindset was: as the teacher, I haven’t bullied her yet, so why should you? Holding on to this sentiment, she threw chalk at An Ning. Of course, if anyone asked, she would deny this reason. “Repeat the paragraph I just read,” Liu Li demanded, crossing her arms. Having been occupied with teasing, An Ning wasn’t paying attention. Gu Panpan, next to her, whispered, “No matter how…” An Ning just picked up the book to read when Liu Li interrupted her. “Alright, stop doing other things in class. Stand at the back and listen.” Realizing the classroom was overcrowded, Liu Li added, “Never mind, stand at the front.” An Ning panicked—standing in front of so many people was embarrassing. When An Ning stood on the podium, everyone got a good look at her—an enchantress with a striking mole at the corner of her eye, wearing a white sweatshirt that accentuated her ample chest. This sight mesmerized both genders. New members of the Su Qi Fan Club, established by Du Yu, couldn’t help but look enviously at their leader. Could cross-dressing really charm such beauties? Seeing An Ning punished, Su Qi felt like laughing, but before she could, Liu Laotaitai’s voice rang out: “Su Qi, don’t laugh. Playing around in class, is it fun? Recite that passage for me!” Liu Li’s voice echoed throughout the classroom. Everyone’s eyes lit up. Su Qi had always been protected by Wang Zijin and An Ning, only allowing sneak peeks from afar. If she went on the podium, everyone could look openly at their club leader—this was golden! An Ning’s initial anger at Liu Laotaitai for getting herself into trouble faded when she saw Su Qi’s little smirk vanish. Misery loves company, especially when shared. But unexpectedly, Wang Zijin played a backstabbing move, gently tucking her hair behind her ear and sweetly telling Su Qi which passage to recite. This sudden betrayal from a close friend caught An Ning off guard. “Teacher, I report—Su Qi didn’t bring her book!” An Ning crossed her arms, making her already prominent chest even more noticeable. Both males and females couldn’t help but glance at her. “What does she eat to grow so big?” they wondered. “Since you didn’t bring your book, Su Qi, you stand with An Ning,” Liu Laotaitai commanded. But then, Su Qi’s raspy voice spoke up, “Teacher Liu, though I didn't bring my book, I’ve memorized the passage and can recite it.” Liu Li was surprised and walked to Su Qi, taking Wang Zijin's book. Adjusting her slightly slipping glasses, she said, “Alright, let’s hear it.” “No matter how familiar we used to be with each other, as long as we are apart then we become strangers.” Everyone—An Ning, Gu Panpan, Liu Li, Wang Zijin—was stunned. She had actually recited it correctly. “Next sentence,” Liu Li thought she might have just memorized that part "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams..." Su Qi continued, flawlessly reciting a lengthy passage as if she had memorized it. When she finished speaking, the classroom became silent. Then, somewhere in the room, a voice started a chant. "Boss, you rock!" Like a domino effect, more and more people joined in. "Boss, you rock!" The chants grew louder and louder. Su Qi's face flushed with embarrassment. She could see that Liu Laotaitai was on the verge of losing it. Panic set in; she had to do something. If this continued, failing the class or even facing suspension could become real possibilities, not to mention angering Liu Laotaitai could jeopardize her graduation! Turning to face the room, Su Qi raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture, accompanied by a soft "shh" sound—utterly adorable. To her astonishment, the lecture hall fell completely silent in the next instant. The sudden hush was so immediate and synchronized that it felt like she had cast a spell over the room. Su Qi wondered if she had somehow enchanted them all. Meanwhile, Du Yu’s heart was in turmoil. *Boss, Boss, how can you be this cute!?* Su Qi's light yellow hair fluttered with her sudden turn. Stray strands clung to her petite, fair face, adding an element of delicate confusion rather than disorder. Determined to convey her desire for silence to her club members, Su Qi tightly closed her large, expressive eyes. She placed her right index finger against her pink lips and earnestly whispered "shh," her whole body leaning slightly forward. Her knees almost touched as she stood, clad in mid-length socks and small black shoes. Combined with her overly cute expression, the sight was simply overwhelming. *Thunk.* Du Yu felt something shatter within him. What was it? It was the unknown wall called the dimensional barrier.
