231 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 231: The Evolution of the System Maiden Upon hearing her own wife An Ning speak, Su Qi couldn't help but think of that saying: "When there's work, let the secretary handle it; when there's none..." Wang Zijin, listening to her own best friend's words, couldn't help but glance over. After all, the implication of sneaking around was too apparent in that statement. Imagining Su Qi becoming her secretary, Wang Zijin suddenly recalled the scene from the previous night when her best friend had been dressed up, and thinking about it now, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. Sensing her best friend's gaze, An Ning cleared her throat and said, "I really mean a secretary, not that kind of secretary!" To the two of them, it sounded very much like a "nothing to hide" sort of situation. After finishing what she was saying, An Ning felt it wasn't quite right and added, "I just meant a secretary to help me with statistics, since your typing speed is quite fast, you know?" Su Qi, hearing her wife commend her speed, knew that this "fast" wasn't that "fast." Nonetheless, as someone who used to be a boy, she wasn’t particularly flattered by the compliment. After pondering for a bit, Su Qi decided to decline her wife's suggestion. Although Su Qi had yet to attend any meetings, she knew that the salary of over 8000 a month she was being offered would surely incur losses. Besides, as her wife's partner, it's only natural to help her out without asking for anything in return, right? Seeing An Ning finished with her work, Wang Zijin took the opportunity to pull Su Qi into her arms. In that instant, Su Qi felt like a life-sized plush toy. Once nestled in Zijin’s embrace, Su Qi noticed an unfamiliar addition to the house—a robotic vacuum cleaner. There was no recollection of one in her memory. Noticing Su Qi’s gaze, Wang Zijin explained, "It was a gift with the medical product purchase a few days ago! I already have one at home, so I brought you this one." Su Qi felt incredibly fortunate to have such a thoughtful wife speaking those words to her. Seeing the satisfied expression on Su Qi’s face, Wang Zijin was equally delighted. In fact, before arriving, she had anticipated the possibility of a cake mishap, prompting her to bring the extra robotic vacuum cleaner from home to save time and effort. Looking at the pristine floor and her curious partner, Wang Zijin felt very pleased. Most boys naturally have a penchant for things that move. From a young age, Su Qi’s favorite toy was a battery-powered four-wheel drive car, which delighted him endlessly as it moved. Seeing the robotic vacuum cleaner now, Su Qi couldn’t help but reminisce about the toy car from her childhood. With these thoughts, as an engineer, she felt compelled to explore how this clever little cleaner operated and examine its underside. When the robotic vacuum cleaner once more approached, Su Qi leaned forward to grab it, but to her surprise, she stumbled and landed on her bottom. To her dismay, the robot had already moved away. Watching the robotic vacuum roll away, Su Qi found it amusing and opted to crawl after it instead of walking. While the skirt of the JK uniform hid her slender legs when standing, as she crawled, her raised petite form caused the hem to lift, barely concealing her thighs clad in knee socks beneath. Watching from the sofa, An Ning and Wang Zijin felt their throats become dry seeing that subtle sway and movement. Especially when Su Qi finally caught the robot, her exuberant movements revealed glimpses that made the two of them feel a slight heat at the end of their noses. After exchanging a glance, Wang Zijin and An Ning silently nodded to each other and approached her. Just as Su Qi was filled with joy over turning the robot over to inspect it, she suddenly felt herself being lifted and then placed onto the bed. Before she could make sense of what was happening, her two wives steadily moved closer. As she puzzled over the situation, she heard An Ning say, "After teasing us, you better be ready to put out the fire!" Soon after, Su Qi felt several hands expertly navigating beneath her clothes. Overwhelmed by her two wives’ simultaneous advance, the battle quickly turned one-sided, and the room’s temperature subtly rose, with an emphasis on being gentle this time. The following day, Su Qi awoke to find her two wives already dressed. Feeling the surrealness of it all, she rubbed her eyes when she felt warm, gentle touches on both cheeks. Opening her eyes wide, she found her two wives leaning in for a good-morning kiss, one on each side. Thrilled by such an awakening, even though her waist was still a little sore, her happiness made her eyes shine brightly. Actually, Wang Zijin and An Ning had woken early, choosing to stay in bed with Su Qi still asleep. Last night had been an enchanting one, and they had savored each other’s presence. As for Su Qi, the night's exertion certainly called for extra rest. Unlike Su Qi, the other two had much work awaiting them—especially Wang Zijin, who had just assumed the role of student council president. Delaying returning to the duties could lead to falling behind. After responding to her wives' good-morning gesture, Su Qi saw them leave their cozy little nook not long after. Once they were gone, the small room suddenly felt empty to Su Qi, leaving her with a subtle sense of loneliness. Fortunately, that feeling quickly dissipated as she heard the System Maiden’s voice once more. "Host, I didn't get to play any games yesterday." Su Qi was taken aback, realizing that the voice had changed again. Compared to the youthful tone from before, it now carried a more coquettish vibe, as if it had regressed to a smaller, childlike form. Puzzled, Su Qi asked, "What's with your voice?" The System Maiden cheerfully replied, "Since you're getting closer to your ideal of being a heroine, the heroine system within me has also evolved." Hearing the system's voice, Su Qi visualized a pigtail-wearing little girl shaking her arm, filled with déjà vu. What was going on? Ordinarily, as systems evolve, they mature. Why does my system seem to be developing in reverse, like a child? That's unacceptable! And don’t they have child labor laws in the system world? However, this prompted Su Qi's biggest question: how exactly had she gotten a step closer to becoming her ideal heroine? Puzzled, she considered how to ask when her head was already spinning with questions. Then, unexpectedly, a system interface popped up in her visual field—a familiar sight she hadn’t checked in a long time. "Host, please press the C key." (To view special attributes) Upon hearing the System Maiden’s reminder, Su Qi was struck by a sudden thought, swallowing hard—not possible, right?
