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

# Chapter 236: Return to Su University Awakened by being gently shaken, Su Qi found herself momentarily dazed, meeting Ni Miao's smiling gaze. Still half-asleep, Su Qi mumbled, "Ni Miao-meimei, don't fuss, jiejie is tired, let me sleep a bit more!" Ni Miao was taken aback by the little girl's words. What was this about Ni Miao-meimei and jiejie being tired? This little girl... to think she's always seen me as her little sister. Oh, how delightful this is. The mischievous Ni Miao, who initially wanted to playfully punish Su Qi, decided she should at least impose a playful penalty. Oblivious to the bomb she had just set off with her words, Su Qi once again shifted position, snuggling deeper into her sleep. Seeing this, Ni Miao couldn't help but smile, thinking how just moments ago, she was in this very position, being the target of the little girl's sleep antics. With a mindset of 'an eye for an eye,' Ni Miao decided not to wake Su Qi. Instead, she gently began to peel away her clothes, under the pretense of ensuring a good night's sleep for her. Before long, Ni Miao admired the sight of Su Qi clad in only her undergarments. The little girl's skin was smooth and fair; even though she had always known her skin was excellent, the pure expanse of her back, highlighted by the bra straps, was something else. The luminous glow of it seemed like it could shine even in the dark, leaving Ni Miao awestruck. Recalling her own experience with a bra minutes earlier, Ni Miao chuckled and deftly unhooked the cotton bra, liberating it. Shortly after— In her slumber, Su Qi felt a burgeoning sensation in her chest, accompanied by a touch of cold. Groggily opening her eyes, she reached for a blanket, meeting Ni Miao's amused eyes instead. Staring at Ni Miao's smiling face, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel confused, why did she feel the urge to flee? After some thought, Su Qi asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet, Ni Miao-jiejie?" Ni Miao took in Su Qi's still sleep-addled state and decided the little girl needed to wake up properly. She playfully corrected, "It's Ni Miao-jiejie now, not meimei?" Upon hearing this, Su Qi froze for two seconds. Evidently, her CPU wasn't running smoothly after just waking up. It wasn't until two seconds later that she realized the gravity of the situation. As Ni Miao watched Su Qi's wide-open eyes, she knew Su Qi had processed the situation. Grinning, she pounced on her. --- The following morning at 7:50, Ni Miao, dressed neatly and in high spirits, cast a glance at the little girl still ensconced in dreamland. In truth, Su Qi had woken up long before but was unwilling and, perhaps, unable to rise. Reflecting on the events of the previous night and Ni Miao's thorough handling, Su Qi flushed. For it wasn't just her rear that had received attention from Ni Miao this time; even her... Though Su Qi had started the teasing, the peculiar sensation from being grasped still made her blush fiercely. By now, Ni Miao discerned Su Qi's feigning of sleep. After all, who ends up with rosy cheeks while they're supposedly asleep? But remembering how well-behaved the little girl was last night, Ni Miao was satisfied. Without exposing her feeble acting, she gently caressed Su Qi’s smooth, soft face before leaving the room. Hearing the door close, Su Qi exhaled heavily. She had thought she'd been discovered and feared yet another bout of spanking. Even though Ni Miao's strikes weren't painful, the sound—pppppppp—was deeply embarrassing. Awake now, Su Qi was about to lift the covers and assess her situation when the system's voice chimed in: "Congratulations, host! You're one step closer to the heroine. Size increased by 1, currently at C+." Stunned by the announcement, Su Qi immediately opened the system interface and pressed the C key. She saw the fifth item change from (145 times/9%) to (151 times/10%). Su Qi vaguely noticed that the girl’s depiction in the image did seem to have grown a tad, although it wasn't evident. She sighed in relief. Closing the system interface, Su Qi looked down at her two bosoms. Due to the previous day's teasing, they now seemed somewhat aggrieved. Their rims appeared reddened, but cradling them in her hands for comfort, she indeed felt a bit of growth. Thankfully, it wasn't too drastic. This change, Su Qi could accept. However, beyond the growth itself, Su Qi was more intrigued by the subtle, swelling sensation from the night before. It was an itchiness mixed with mild pain and a swell. Su Qi couldn’t help but marvel at the magical intricacies of a girl's body. In every conceivable way... Holding her bra, Su Qi noticed it had silently expanded a bit. After adjusting it on, she compared it with some system-provided clothes and found that they, too, had grown. That's when the system voice chimed in, saying, "Hee hee hee, aren't the clothes I make amazing?" Listening to the system's voice laced with childish exclamations, Su Qi couldn't shake the feeling that a few more growth spurts might just bring this system character from beyond the dimensional barrier into her reality. Clad in her uniform, Su Qi noticed that the black stockings from her wardrobe were fully restored. Seeing this, Su Qi hurriedly praised her system, "Amazing, amazing." The system then mimicked an anime character's triumphant "Hmph, hmph, hmph," though her voice, being too childlike, lacked the coolness of an anime character, resembling instead more of a tender, sugary tone. From the sound, Su Qi imagined a small, faceless girl of intangible origin. Su Qi believed this had something to do with how engrossed the system had been in gaming lately. However, Su Qi had no intention of limiting the system's gaming time these days. Watching the character move on the screen made Su Qi feel less lonely while studying. Regarding QQ, she had reluctantly uninstalled it to prevent the system from picking up any bad influences. Now, she only accessed QQ via her computer. Being a Saturday, the stock market that had been breaking Su Qi's heart was finally closed. First, she opened a webpage, noticing she had finally dropped off the trending searches for that week. Then, she opened the short video app, swiping through thirty-four videos before finding one featuring herself. Su Qi could feel her prominence waning from a public figure to a nobody, which made her rather pleased. Because didn’t this mean she could return to her studies soon? If her roommates Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei knew her thoughts, they would be utterly shocked. After all, Su Qi was a classic shut-in. A mere seven days, or even two months, were nothing to her. Why would she suddenly want to return to school on her own? Had she gone mad? In truth, Su Qi wouldn't have considered returning to school if not for her recent financial plight. Yet now, she was heavily in debt — nearly a 25% loss, amounting close to fifty thousand. To be honest, after repaying her debts, Su Qi didn't hold money in such high regard. This was evident from how she bought gifts for Ni Miao and Wang Yun. She had no other desires; as long as she could live comfortably, money wasn't a priority. However, the feeling of having lost fifty thousand in stocks left Su Qi feeling as if a contested heroine in a game had been taken by the least favorite antagonist. She was desperate to earn the money back. Although the system's stock-market guide was enormously helpful, it was too voluminous, with each page rich in detail. For a novice like Su Qi, the learning process felt incredibly slow. Su Qi felt what she lacked was more of a mentor's guidance and experience. Seeing Wang Yun's terrifying 72% success rate, Su Qi believed it crucial to attend financial courses at Su University. With this in mind, she gave a call to her beloved Zi Jin. Thirty minutes later, after hanging up, Su Qi confirmed her return to Su University on Wednesday. *Note: To facilitate book selection, our website's "Ranking" page has been optimized for better user experience.
