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

Chapter 224: A Unique Way to Relieve Clinginess After carefully tucking the little girl under the blanket, Wang Yun was just about to get dressed when she noticed a small bag wrapped with a red gift tag next to her clothing. She was momentarily stunned, then felt a warmth in her heart. There were only two of them in the room; who else but the little girl could have left it there? Unwrapping the bag, Wang Yun pulled out the contents—a pair of incredibly smooth and soft black silk stockings, so comfortable to the touch it was unbelievable. She gave them a tug and discovered their surprising elasticity. At that moment, she finally understood why Su Qi had been eyeing her own stockings since yesterday. It wasn’t any kind of desire; it was because Su Qi wanted to gift her this pair! Reflecting on this, Wang Yun glanced at the stockings with a run in them on her leg and realized how unassuming the girl had been. “You could have just given them to me directly instead of going through all this fuss!” Wang Yun muttered to the sleeping Su Qi, though her lips curled up in a smile. She slowly peeled off her snagged stockings and placed them under Su Qi's blanket, thinking the little girl would see them when she folded the quilt and be happy knowing Wang Yun wore the ones she bought. After finishing this, Wang Yun carefully put on the 'gift.' Surprisingly, the size of the stockings was a perfect fit. Wang Yun marveled at this, knowing too large would look unattractive and too small would be uncomfortable. How did she know my size? Wang Yun wondered, then recalled that she had once deliberately left a pair of stockings at this house. Her gaze softened as she looked at the sleeping Su Qi, feeling how considerate the little girl truly was. She really liked this gift. After washing up and getting dressed, Wang Yun felt like something was missing. She walked over to Su Qi's side and, noticing her pouted, rosy lips, bent down, her hair carefully swept to the side to prevent it from brushing against the sleeping girl, and left a light peck as gentle as a dragonfly touching water. Looking at the still-sleeping and blissfully ignorant Su Qi, Wang Yun said softly, “Take it as your reward, my little warm bed mate.” Thanks to satiating her penchant for touching last night, Wang Yun felt refreshed at work today, devoid of her usual fatigue. Perhaps due to her improved mood, she felt more eyes on her than usual. Typically, as a beauty, she was accustomed to being noticed. However, Wang Yun noticed an increased number in gazes today, attributing it simply to her good spirits and not thinking much more of it. And when her supervisor complimented her professionalism at the afternoon meeting, Wang Yun felt today was no different than any other day, though perhaps it was a precursor to a salary raise? It seemed she should spend more nights with the little girl! Meanwhile, Su Qi gradually woke up around 8:30 AM. She looked at the breakfast on the table, feeling a warm comfort in her heart. Just then, the system’s voice chimed in: “Would the host like to issue birthday gifts to the two lovely female creatures now?” Su Qi paused, remembering today was her birthday and a grand battle was ahead. After talking with the system, she held two gift boxes that appeared out of thin air, then glanced toward the wardrobe, feeling today would be the day she finally asserted herself. While washing up in the bathroom, Su Qi found a mark on her belly. Given her pale complexion, it stood out starkly. “What’s this?” Su Qi asked the system worriedly, fearing her frail body might have succumbed to some ailment. “Host, this mark was left by the female human earlier today. Investigation indicates this is referred to as a ‘hickey’—a gesture of affection.” Hearing the system’s explanation, Su Qi felt it was becoming increasingly sophisticated, wondering why it only learned about such intimate things. Looking at the mark that seemed like a cherry blossom blooming in the snow, Su Qi reluctantly dismissed Wang Yun’s reason for leaving it. She worried what might happen if her wives saw it. Given her limited courage score of five, she was genuinely afraid of facing their fury. She reminded herself to not reveal her belly—under any circumstances. After eating the breakfast Wang Yun had provided, Su Qi was well aware that she needed to fortify herself before the upcoming challenge—especially since it promised to be a tough battle. In the girls' dormitory lounge, Gu Panpan quietly peeked out, half her head visible, observing her surroundings. Currently, she was watching from the shadows. From atop her bunk, she observed her two beautiful roommates tidying up their travel cases, growing increasingly alarmed as she watched. “Tails, markers, cat ears, stars…” She saw them packing props into their suitcases. Seeing their selections, Gu Panpan widened her eyes in shock, recognizing many of the props she had been coerced into experimenting with a few days ago. The thought of two seemingly refined campus beauties acting so mischievously towards her was shocking. As the person involved, Gu Panpan found the whole experience thrilling, especially since she didn’t have a boyfriend—this opened new horizons for her. Yet she dared not speak. If the two found out she had uncovered their secrets, her thoughts lingered on the exhilarating experience before she hastily ducked back and lay quietly in bed, though sleep eluded her. Just then, she overheard her roommates talking. “When should we celebrate our next birthday?" Wang Zijin asked An Ning. Gu Panpan wore a puzzled look—weren’t their birthdays both in April? They had celebrated still recently, after all. As she listened, she slowly began to grasp what 'celebrating a birthday' entailed. Silently, she sympathized with Su Qi, believing she might soon share similar experiences. Faced with overwhelming fun and innovation, Gu Panpan had no choice but to submit. Once Wang Zijin and An Ning left around eleven, Gu Panpan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps she felt a kinship with Su Qi, whom she imagined shared her plight, even though they’d never met. Her fondness for Su Qi grew all the same. After leaving the dorm, Wang Zijin and An Ning didn’t head straight to Su Qi’s residence. Instead, they visited a cake shop where they had pre-ordered a cream cake. At the store, the clerk presented a large cake, asking skeptically, “Can you really finish such a big cream cake? It’s a bit rich and won’t last beyond today, so you better eat it quickly!” Hearing this, Wang Zijin and An Ning couldn’t help imagining how delightful Su Qi’s creamy, creamy, skin would look adorned with the cake—truly delectable. Sharing a glance, they saw a glimmer in each other's eyes. With synchronized voices, the two campus beauties reassured the clerk, "No worries, we have a unique way of dealing with it!"
