Chapter 86 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 86: Host, Seek Your Own Fortune! "Don't move!" An Ning began to turn her head to look at her best friend, only to be stopped by Su Qi. Watching Su Qi's hand busy with a pen on the digital tablet, meticulously observing her body, An Ning found herself feeling a bit shy despite Su Qi's harmless gaze. She shifted her attention to the computer screen instead. On the screen was a beautifully intimate image of the two of them, leaning closely together. An Ning knew that Su Qi could draw, but she was astonished at the speed. It hadn't even been an hour, yet the rough outline was already complete. After a short while, Su Qi finished the drawing. The image, uncolored and lacking a background, depicted two exceptionally beautiful girls sitting on a bed, yet it was incredibly captivating. Once Su Qi showed the drawing to the two, she patted the computer before placing it on the table. "So, now it's time to discuss payment!" Looking at the two beauties in front of her, Su Qi continued: "By the way, I watched the recording on your phone, Zijing. It's time we settled the score..." A mischievous smile played on Su Qi's lips. An Ning quickly turned her head to look at Zijing, her eyes silently questioning, "Is this really who you are?" As Su Qi walked towards them step by step, both became a little tense. The mischievous smile on Su Qi's face added to the pressure. What does she want to do? An Ning shrank back but realized how cowardly that seemed. She straightened her posture promptly. Wang Zijing, in the same situation, showed a mix of fear and guilt in her eyes. The reason for her complex emotions stemmed from her upbringing: her family had always taught her how to be a proper lady and a socialite. Though Wang Zijing didn’t mind being such a person, suppressing her true nature was like compressing a spring—eventually, it would rebound. This situation mirrored one of Su Qi’s game designs. In the game, the second female lead, initially a noble lady from a count’s family, ends up assisting the main antagonist due to a series of unfortunate events, ultimately transforming from a prideful peacock to a submissive character. Wang Zijing had deeply immersed herself in this storyline because it felt so similar to her own life. Watching the character’s fall from grace not only didn’t repulse her but, strangely, excited her. As she considered what Su Qi might do next, Wang Zijing felt both shame and thrill, her gaze turning more fervent. Seeing Wang Zijing's change in demeanor left even a slightly debuffed Su Qi perplexed. Was Wang Zijing getting excited? "So, what do you two plan to call me?" Su Qi sat down in front of them, smiling sweetly. Neither Wang Zijing nor An Ning responded, unsure of what Su Qi meant. Watching them remain silent, Su Qi furrowed her delicate brows and placed her porcelain-like hand under her chin, showing a serious expression. Despite the serious atmosphere, Su Qi's adorable expressions nearly made the two girls burst out laughing. Finally seeming to have an idea, Su Qi’s eyes sparkled. She jumped in front of them, her rosy lips parting to reveal a voice as sweet as a silver bell. "How about you call me hubby?" Wang Zijing: … An Ning: … Looking at the appealing but clearly frail Su Qi, being called anything but "wifey" was absurd! An Ning was quick to disagree, while Wang Zijing, reminiscing about the game, remembered how the second female lead initially refused to call the villain "master." Ah, the similarities in the scenarios were striking. An Ning was considering how to persuade Su Qi differently when she heard her best friend exclaim, "That's impossible. We won't accept it!" Although surprised by her friend's strong reaction, An Ning had to agree. Calling Su Qi "hubby" felt absurdly strange. She hesitated no further in her silent agreement. Su Qi heard Wang Zijing's reply and raised an eyebrow—an action eerily similar to the game’s villain. Wang Zijing felt even more excited. "Are you sure? I'll ask one more time." Before An Ning could speak, her friend hurriedly shouted, "We definitely won't call you that!" An Ning felt exasperated. Even though the girl in front of them was a small, cheerful person, they were indeed at a disadvantage. Shouldn't they be trying to negotiate until they could safely plan their revenge later? But with her friend's strong stance, it would be embarrassing to give in now. "Alright then, don't blame me for being rude!" With that, Su Qi lunged at them. ... Moments later, Su Qi straightened up, satisfied with her handiwork. An Ning, seeing Su Qi, felt even more irritated. Her gaze held a trace of anger. But when Su Qi extended her hand, An Ning had no choice but to reluctantly comply, bowing her head to this little tyrant. Hehe, Su Qi felt this power was intoxicating. The lingering bitterness in her heart started to dissipate. She walked over to Wang Zijing, whose eyes were a pool of autumn water, her cheeks flushed, and asked, "Zijing, what are you going to call me?" Leaning in, Wang Zijing whispered in a voice that only they could hear, "Master." Startled, Su Qi sat up straight. Whoa, how did it escalate to this? Turning towards An Ning for solace, Su Qi saw her moving her arm. Wait, moving her arm? Su Qi then saw An Ning walking towards her, her red lips parting to say sweetly: "Hubby." The voice was as sweet as a jar of honey, rich and overflowing. Yet at this moment, Su Qi felt she couldn't bear it. Trying to escape, she was caught by An Ning. The system, watching silently, could only mutter to Su Qi: **Host, seek your own fortune!** (These two chapters have been revised.
