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

### Chapter 228: A Beautiful Canvas While Su Qi and An Ning were playfully bantering, Wang Zijin silently wheeled over a suitcase filled with various items and neatly arranged them. Although she wasn’t sure what exactly had transpired between Su Qi and her own sister, Wang Zijin felt that just by looking at the marks on Su Qi’s abdomen and the socks with holes, there was no need to listen to Su Qi’s explanations. She resolved to give Su Qi a lesson filled with educational insight later. Shortly after, Su Qi was huddled in a corner of the bed. She looked slightly disheveled, with her cheeks lightly flushed—a kind of chaotic beauty that was unexpectedly appealing. Combined with her natural pure aura and the gentle fragrance she exuded, it only made others want to tease her more. “Come on, keep being arrogant! Weren’t you doing well just now?" An Ning, hands on her hips, spoke as she recalled their playful tussle in which, much to her embarrassment, she—the invincible older sister type—had somewhat fallen behind. Hearing An Ning’s words, Su Qi shook her head frantically, the movements so exaggerated that even her fluffy, adorable tail wiggled, making her appear particularly cute. Wang Zijin found this sight amusing. Nudging her best friend, she suggested, “We need to be a bit gentler with our words. Here, put on these cat ears, be good now, otherwise…” Wang Zijin didn’t finish her sentence, but Su Qi could guess the rest of the line. Cautiously, she scooted over, eyeing the cat ears in Wang Zijin’s hand. As humiliating as it was to wear them, it was wiser to adapt to the situation. But no sooner had Su Qi donned the cat ears did she attempt to retreat—only to be caught immediately by the two of them. Feeling utterly humiliated, Su Qi realized that their objective was: “Come on, meow for us!” Despite Wang Zijin’s provocative remark, Su Qi refused. After all, simply obeying would cost her dignity. However, not meowing seemed to have severe impending consequences. Yet clever Su Qi quickly thought of a solution. She deliberately turned her head away, avoiding their gaze. Wang Zijin and An Ning found this amusing, thinking it a futile cover-up. They each held one of Su Qi’s delicate ankles, effortlessly pulling her closer. Finding herself with nowhere to hide, Su Qi reluctantly faced her two wives adorned with smiles of amusement. Nonetheless, she chose to ignore them. After all, in games like these, two against one was hardly fair play. Even so, seeing Su Qi with those cat ears was too irresistible for the two onlookers to remain idle. An Ning, having thought for a moment, grabbed a marker from the storage box. As Su Qi pouted and ignored her, An Ning took the opportunity to lightly draw three cute little cat whiskers on her soft left cheek. “So, will you meow or not?” she asked, watching Su Qi cover her face with her hands, appearing more feline than ever. Despite her mature demeanor, An Ning genuinely adored cats, with two Ragdoll cats at home. Just now, however, she found the cat-girl before her to be even cuter. With a sort of compulsion, An Ning reached out with the pen again toward the pristine side of her cheek. Seeing the marker coming her way again, Su Qi felt it was too embarrassing to have her face doodled on, so she meekly whispered, “Meow, meow, meow.” After saying it, Su Qi covered her flushed face, feeling that the whole situation was overly humiliating! Watching Su Qi with her adorable, kitten-like demeanor, An Ning felt completely satisfied. However, while An Ning was content, Wang Zijin was not. After all, she still had unresolved matters with this little cat-girl. Leaning closer to Su Qi’s face, her long hair accidentally brushing against Su Qi’s cheek, Wang Zijin spoke in a voice only the two could hear, “Little rogue, last time you were very naughty, so I had to lightly punish you. But in a few days, you can get back at me!” Hearing Wang Zijin’s words of self-address as a tease, Su Qi felt surprisingly intimidated. Once Wang Zijin finished speaking, she straightened up and said, “Honey, I want to hear you meow too. Do it like this!” She playfully winked and made a cute cat gesture with her hands. Seeing Wang Zijin make such a gesture was irresistibly adorable, but Su Qi felt it was excessively humiliating. Moments ago, the mere act of saying “meow” had been enough to overwhelm her. Much less doing it with gestures and blinking. Covering her face with her hands, Su Qi lay on the bed, silently protesting with her stillness. However, her wordless defiance was futile. Before long, An Ning had pulled Su Qi upright while Wang Zijin moved her small fists into a perfect cat-paw position, working seamlessly together. With a smile, they looked at the cat-girl and said in unison, “Come on, meow!” Confronted with the two grinning ladies, Su Qi felt the need to assert her own authority. Finally, she uttered a statement that left them both surprised, “Dare to have a solo match?” Wang Zijin and An Ning simultaneously glanced at the cat-girl version of Su Qi in disbelief. What was this? A feline rebellion? Initially, they had intended to let her off the hook, but unexpectedly, she made such a bold proposal. Wasn’t it a case of putting oneself in unnecessary trouble? The cat-girl, with her adorable and innocent look, exchanged glances, Wang Zijin discerning a shared thirst for victory with her best friend. Considering her options, Wang Zijin picked up the marker she had used before and declared, “Then I’ll be the referee.” During her speech, she drew a large circle on a napkin, followed by two smaller circles inside it, forming what looked like a head shape. Continuing, she drew whiskers on both sides and an ear atop the circular head. A cute little cat face had thus been born. Facing Su Qi and her best friend, Wang Zijin explained, “There are a total of twelve strokes. We need a way to decide who wins, right?” Although Su Qi and An Ning didn’t fully grasp it at first, as the referee announced the start of the match, they gradually got the idea of what the twelve-stroke cat face meant within their duel. That night, in the 15th-floor apartment of the Green City community, soft, adorable purring sounds occasionally filled the room. Following the sound, there was a cute cat-girl with drawn-on whiskers embraced by two beautiful young girls in the middle of the bed. All three slept blissfully, painting an undeniably beautiful canvas.
