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

**Chapter 193: Turning into a Useless Girl** Officer Zhang Ru was livid. Early in the morning, she arrived at Su Qi’s house only to find the door tightly shut, leaving her to deal with a huge disappointment. She genuinely cared about that little girl. Before she got off the car yesterday, she had reminded her two or three times to no avail—and now, she wasn't even at home, nor did she inform Zhang Ru beforehand. What a heartless little girl. When she finally catches her, Officer Zhang Ru has decided she’ll certainly give her a good spanking. Meanwhile, Su Qi, at the hospital, felt she had forgotten something but couldn’t quite recall what it was. As she tried to remember, her mother interrupted her thoughts by feeding her another half of a walnut. Officer Zhang Ru glanced at the time and decided to call Su Qi. When the call connected, Officer Zhang Ru was stunned—why was it a man's voice? "Hello, this is Su Lu Jun." Could it be that the little girl has been kidnapped? But that’s impossible; she was dropped off at her doorstep yesterday. And who is Su Lu Jun? His tone doesn't sound like a kidnapper's. Noticing the prolonged silence from the other side, Su Lu Jun realized he was using his daughter's phone and explained: "I am Su Qi's father." Hearing this, Officer Zhang Ru sighed in relief. As long as she hadn't been kidnapped, that was what mattered. Yet, for some reason, thoughts of that little girl left her feeling uneasy. She asked, "Uncle, where has Su Qi gone? We agreed yesterday to get her ID processed." Upon hearing this, Su Lu Jun was reminded of the more pressing issue at hand—his daughter's ID listed her as a boy. Now, the more critical problem remained: How was he going to explain to his daughter's friend that his own daughter had been hospitalized because he had struck her with a belt? If he divulged this, he feared the distance between him and Su Qi would only grow. Just as he was struggling with this dilemma, a familiar voice was heard on the line, and Su Lu Jun immediately recognized it as his son. Su Siyang, who had driven back home, was surprised to see Officer Zhang Ru standing at the entrance. His surprise wasn't due to her presence there, but by her outfit from yesterday. Yesterday, Officer Zhang Ru wore a long-sleeved French blouse with a suspender dress. The snowy blouse paired with a black dress emanated a distinct feminine charm. The waist-tied design of the dress accentuated Officer Zhang Ru's figure even more. On her feet were black leather shoes and knee-high socks, making her resemble a vibrant, youthful girl. While Su Siyang had seen Officer Zhang Ru in casual clothes before, yesterday’s attire gave off an essence vastly different from her usual spirited and valiant style, resembling more of a next-door girl—it was like seeing a completely different person. Officer Zhang Ru, noticing Su Siyang's gaze, felt a bit uncomfortable. Her mother had picked out this outfit for her. Truthfully, she wasn’t fond of clothes that highlighted a girlish demeanor, let alone skirts. However, pressed by her mother, and knowing Su Qi only had that skirt, Zhang Ru thought perhaps she could wear a matching outfit with her yesterday, so she donned the skirt. But this was meant for Su Qi to see, not Su Siyang. Observing the star's scrutinizing eyes, and recalling his antics yesterday, she sternly addressed Su Siyang, "What are you looking at?" Then remembered she hadn’t hung up the phone and said into it, "Uncle Su, I wasn’t talking about you." “You’re talking to my dad?” Hearing Officer Zhang Ru refer to someone as 'Uncle', then seeing her at his doorstep, Su Siyang asked, “No, your dad answered Su Qi’s phone.” Hearing Officer Zhang Ru’s words, Su Siyang looked at the closed door. It seems he came back just to follow a family order to deliver a phone to Su Qi, fearing she’d get bored. He leaned close to Officer Zhang Ru’s phone and loudly declared, “Let’s get in the car, Officer Zhang Ru. Let’s go to the hospital to see the naive girl who got beaten into the hospital by a middle-aged man!” Hearing his son’s voice so clearly, and those deliberately vague words, Su Lu Jun was about to retort but noticed the call had been disconnected. Now, it was Su Siyang who was fuming. This morning, driving over, he heard his family complain about his father. Upon learning that his beloved sister had been beaten into the hospital by his father, it infuriated Su Siyang toward Su Lu Jun. His resentment towards his father was mutual. Yesterday, he had heard Lu Ran mention that Su Siyang had long known about Su Qi being a girl. Why hadn’t he said anything? If he had, none of this would’ve happened. And, adding to his anger yesterday: he was in Su City, Su Qi was there too, and his sister was being harassed, yet he didn’t inform their parents? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Instinctively, his hand reached for his belt, only to remember it had been discarded the day before. Forget it, he thought. When visiting the hospital later, he’d discuss it face-to-face and definitely bring his wife along to see their brilliant son in action. Seeing Su Siyang getting close, the single Officer Zhang Ru found it slightly overwhelming and backed away. She felt odd; with her work often dealing with ruffians and sometimes involving physical contact when cuffing, nothing compared to the flutter she felt when Su Siyang leaned near. After taking two steps back, she recalled what he had just said and asked, “What was that all about?” “I’ll explain in the car!” he said, opening the passenger door for her. Seeing his enthusiastic smile, Zhang Ru couldn’t discern his intentions. Driving along, Su Siyang began to fill Zhang Ru in on last night’s happenings, exaggerating and embellishing the narrative to paint Su Lu Jun as a stubborn old fool. He's always had grievances against his father. Now was the perfect time to let Officer Zhang Ru know of his father's wrongdoings, hoping her impression of him would sour. Later, when she chatted with Su Qi, she’d likely inject some negative feelings. The result would be Su Qi’s decreased affection for their father and, inversely, an increase in his own favorability. Thinking of this made Su Siyang exceedingly pleased. Take this betrayal from your son and cherish it! Officer Zhang Ru, relieved upon learning Su Qi was fine, didn’t think much else, muttering to herself, “If the ID isn’t sorted today, it might miss the court opening.” Su Siyang, however, wasn’t worried. His second brother, Su Ciheng, had already told him Su Qi could be discharged later, and taking the ID photo could be done afterward. Inside the hospital, Su Qi, dressed in a light blue patient outfit, occasionally glanced at her height yesterday, making her feel as though she’s shrunk. Seeing her task progress bar jump by five points to 105 brought a swift shock akin to a tornado. At this pace, Su Qi felt she might complete her tasks without even dealing with her father. Wondering about the situation, she inquired about it with the system entity, whose response stunned her: "Your father has found more of his pain points." Su Qi couldn’t fathom having so many pain points, leaving her perplexed. She decided it was best to consult the guidebook! Holding a hefty stock-trading guidebook, she diligently skimmed through its pages, yet her learning seemed to drag sluggishly. "Here, have a date," Lu Ran offered, extending a particularly plump red date toward Su Qi's lips. Su Qi shook her head. By morning, she had already consumed half an apple, a milk packet, three walnuts, and six large dates—even after breakfast. The most pressing issue was her mother sitting beside her, intently watching, preventing Su Qi from immersing herself in a proper study environment, even adding to her anxiety. Influenced by her mother, within three hours, Su Qi had managed only five pages. Seeing her pause, her mother handed her a cup of water. Su Qi felt, if she were a piglet, she’d surely be pampered into chubbiness by her mother. If this keeps up, she feared she’d end up as a useless girl!
