242 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 242: Farewell to This World As Su Qi and Zi Jin, giggling and chatting, arrived at the male dormitory floor, Su Qi inadvertently looked up and froze in her tracks. Every window in the male dormitory building seemed to open all at once, with a head sticking out from each one. One window even had four heads protruding, creating an exceedingly peculiar sight. Emmmmmm, seeing so many people peering out toward them, Su Qi felt an oddly familiar sensation wash over her. She realized, during her freshman year, she too was dragged by Wu Wei to peek at the beauties downstairs. Su Qi never imagined that one day she would become the focus of attention for these guys. This type of experience was somewhat frightening to her. Fortunately, it was class time, so the crowd wasn’t particularly large yet. If it were evening, it might truly become a bustling spectacle. Glancing at her composed and unruffled companion, Zi Jin, Su Qi hesitated but eventually marched decisively into the male dormitory building. The familiar dormitory supervisor was waiting by the door, having been notified by the logistics department earlier. Seeing Su Qi and Zi Jin entering, the dormitory supervisor addressed them: “So you’re Su Qi, huh?” While his way of speaking was a bit odd, his peculiar manner was nothing new. “Yes, I am Su Qi,” she replied, handing over a note from the logistics department teacher. Upon verification, the dormitory supervisor tucked his hands behind him and said: “Then follow me.” As she watched the elderly supervisor lead the way with a staggering gait, Su Qi never thought that returning to her own dormitory would one day require someone to guide her. However, she had to admit that the supervisor’s presence was quite intimidating. With him around, many curious onlookers didn’t dare to approach or start conversations. The way the male students watched them felt like a pack of wolves in the animal kingdom, their eyes glinting with a ghostly green. Despite wearing protective leggings under her skirt, Su Qi instinctively shielded the hem as she ascended the stairs. This small gesture made her seem adorably endearing to the male onlookers. Fortunately, the students here were very polite and didn’t attempt to sneak a glance upward as Su Qi climbed the stairs. Reaching the sixth floor, Su Qi, under continuous wolfish gazes, felt it had never seemed such a long journey before. Before they could even enter the dormitory, Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu were already waiting at the door. The scene was strikingly reminiscent of the beginning of their freshman year. They too were waiting at the door back then, craning their necks as they saw Su Qi approaching with anticipation. “You’re back, Qi-ge,” Wang Dongxu said first. Su Qi nodded, noticing Wu Wei scratching his head and awkwardly asking: “Are you staying this time?” His question earned him incredulous looks from those around him. By now, nearly everyone at the university knew that Su Qi was a girl, so she obviously couldn't live in the male dormitory anymore. As her former roommate, Su Qi understood that Wu Wei often got tongue-tied around girls. She presumed he meant: "Are you staying in the dormitory for a while before leaving?" After some thought, Su Qi replied, "I won’t be staying long, I need to go report to the girls’ dormitory." Hearing this, Wu Wei’s eyes brightened at the prospect of her introducing a girlfriend to him. He asked, “Qi-ge, who’s your roommate? Is she pretty?” At this, Zi Jin pulled Su Qi into her embrace and replied to Wu Wei, “She’s in our dormitory. Didn't I mention it during English class? Yet, you guys haven't even started packing.” Wu Wei watched his former roommate, embraced by the girl he admired, about to move into her dormitory and forgot to respond to her words. Seeing them delay further, the dormitory supervisor urged, "You should start packing up quickly." Finally prompted into action, the four entered the dormitory. Once inside, Su Qi felt a sense of discord; why was that? Because not only was the floor clean today, but the whole room was faintly scented with perfume. It was likely from the bottle Wang Dongxu's girlfriend had bought him, one he usually didn’t touch, saved for special occasions like today, which warmed Su Qi’s heart slightly. Zi Jin, with curiosity, studied Su Qi’s dorm, intrigued by how her sweetheart had lived amongst guys for a year without being discovered. The dormitory layout featured a loft bed over a desk, accommodating four people just right. As Su Qi moved to her bed, Zi Jin slowly followed, curious about what her beloved had left behind. Su Qi pulled out a suitcase from the corner, but the brand on it was unfamiliar to Zi Jin. Judging by the material and style, it likely wasn’t high-end. Then, Su Qi opened her wardrobe. She owned very few clothes, all told around ten pieces, including outerwear. Zi Jin noted that even two slightly oversized boxers made their way into her packing box. At this moment, Zi Jin felt her partner had it quite tough, having had to wear such unsightly undergarments. She also noticed there were no bras. Recalling that Su Qi had wrapped her chest in tights to maintain her guise, Zi Jin’s heart ached. It implied that she stayed bound in the dorm—condensed into silence. Watching Su Qi’s increasingly defined figure, Zi Jin’s heart went out to her, realizing how much effort her partner sacrificed for the game. Oblivious to Zi Jin's wayward thoughts, Su Qi focused on retrieving an item from the top shelf. A digital tablet, a little unresponsive now, that had been with her for quite some time. She wanted to take it along since it was dear to her. However, she found herself unable to reach it. Not too high, but just high enough to jostle her. Attempting to grab it, she made several hops, barely brushing against it each time. Watching her partner bounce like a rabbit amused Zi Jin, thinking she should just ask for help. Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei watched their former roommate who, now dressed as a girl, seemed uncharacteristically cute with her soft whimpers. Their minds drifted to a Bilibili title: "My Roommate Can’t Be This Adorable." Finally, after several tries, Su Qi managed to yank down the tablet—along with whatever lay behind it. A thud sounded as it hit the floor with a 'duang.’ Su Qi was puzzled, wondering what else was up there besides some discarded bits. The noise drew the dormitory supervisor to push the door open. These two girls were quite eye-catching, after all, and warranted careful attention. As the door opened, not only the supervisor but also neighboring occupants peeked in. Placing the tablet away, Su Qi turned toward the object on the floor. It was a box featuring an anime girl character print. Beside it was a soft-looking, flesh-toned cup-like item with sectional illustrations inside. Seeing this, Su Qi’s mind went blank. This is, this, this isn't it… the item linked to a manufacturer she collaborated with back when releasing games to test quality? She had bought it only for inspection—definitely not to be recommended if unsuitable. But how did it end up here? She vaguely recalled not discarding it back when her roommate returned. Watching the quiet figure resting on the floor, Su Qi was at a loss for words. The dormitory supervisor approached curiously, reading the pristine packaging: “Toy Heart… something." At this moment, Su Qi felt this planet no longer welcomed her. Unbeknownst to her, the worst was yet to come. After reading the package, the dormitory supervisor handed the item back to her and inquired: “Little girl, what is this?” Confronted with this thirst for knowledge, the gazes of Wang Zi Jin, Wu Wei, Wang Dongxu, and countless other spectators locked onto Su Qi. Feeling the puzzled gazes of everyone around and facing the old man handing her the item, Su Qi opened the packing box and lay down inside, then closed the lid.
