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

Chapter 254: She Ran Away Upon seeing Du Yu on the big screen, someone she had once encountered in the library, Su Qi felt a sudden jolt in her heart. When she heard his question, her entire face flushed red. The very question she dreaded the most had surfaced. But why ask this question with everyone watching? How to use it? What girl would know how to use it? But—when she thought about it, it was indeed she who had added that feature in the game! The problem was, she had been driven by...impulse back then! Su Qi felt her face heating up, her mind racing at full speed, yet she still couldn't come up with the appropriate answer. She even considered fleeing the stage, escaping to another planet. Just at that moment, with a microphone in his hand, Du Yu continued: "Guild Leader, you're not lying, are you?" In fact, Du Yu's question was quite sharp, as most of the audience didn't know what he was referring to since they hadn't played the game. Moreover, that post from before had become forgotten after about a week. Although many were aware of Su Qi's nickname "Flying Heron," they didn't know its origin. The current audience only felt that there was something mysterious about it. Principal Lin Xiangdong hadn't played the game Su Qi had created either. Although he felt something was off, he didn't interrupt. "No, no, I'm not lying!" Su Qi instinctively responded upon hearing Du Yu's voice. The Su family had instilled strict morals, and Su Qi had always been honest. Despite the system unexpectedly changing her gender, she had almost never lied to anyone before. She had kept her promises to her guildmates, whether it was wearing women's clothing or performing dances. She had even set the game price at 59 yuan, avoiding exploiting her guildmates financially. "So, how do you use it?" Du Yu adjusted his glasses, looking at the shy, stammering guild leader adorning celestial Hanfu on the stage. In that moment, as a second-dimensional otaku, he first realized the joy of the three-dimensional world. Because the guild leader's cuteness pierced through the dimensional barrier. Prompted by Du Yu, Su Qi took the microphone, looking at the sea of people below the stage, and said: "It's just..." "Just?" Those in the know among the hentai murmured, anticipating her next move. Many still didn't know what the conversation was about. Yet, watching the ethereal girl on stage with her shy demeanor and hesitant expression, they found it all incredibly amusing. "Just, that, put it, deep inside," Su Qi's voice grew smaller and smaller, even trembling with a slight sob at the end. Even with the microphone amplifying her voice, it was pitifully faint. The audience below couldn't quite catch what Su Qi was saying, but it didn't detract from the endearing bashfulness of the moment. Both male and female college students watched with interest as the blushing Su Qi stood on stage. They found the performance absolutely delightful. And the girl named Su Qi was simply too adorable! At that moment, nearly everyone in the audience etched Su Qi's name into their memories. Her expressions were just too entertaining. Watching Su Qi stand there awkwardly, not knowing how to respond, Du Yu pondered for a moment before speaking again: "Guild Leader, your voice was too low, we still couldn't hear you." His further prodding prompted Su Qi to take up the microphone again. This time, the audience remained silent, eager to finally hear what the bashful young girl had to say. Aware of the sudden quiet, Su Qi was no longer nervous. The figure in her mind labeled 'nervous' had been defeated by the 'embarrassment' figure. "Just. Just..." Su Qi finally uttered those two words, facing the fervent gazes from everyone below. Why does this feel so much like some sort of embarrassing display? Why do I have to share the process of using...that device in front of everyone? Yet, thinking that denial would mean questioning her credibility made retreating worse. At the third attempt to say "just," Su Qi couldn't bear the probing stares from everyone. Covering her face with her hands and clutching the microphone, she dashed off. The situation genuinely turned awkward. Principal Lin Xiangdong was also perplexed; something didn’t seem right! Looking at Du Yu with suspicion, he sensed that the boy's question was off, something was wrong about it. Feeling guilty, Du Yu handed the microphone to the principal. As the principal scrutinized him, all his previous excitement from watching Su Qi's shy demeanor evaporated. Now, he felt instead like he was being eyed by a venomous snake, and he shuddered instinctively. Would being on the principal's radar mean he might not graduate? Watching her "husband" bolt off stage, Wang Zijin was also puzzled—what exactly was Du Yu referring to? She had played Su Qi's game multiple times and even completed a pure love route, unlocking all the CGs, yet hadn't seen any sales links. In fact, Su Qi had added the "plane" option in the special thanks section on the home screen. Starting with ads would greatly affect the gameplay, after all. Only seasoned veterans would read this, so it was natural someone like Wang Zijin, a newbie, was unaware of it. Although Su Qi fled, Wang Zijin wanted to chase after her. But she still had hosting duties to attend to, and just in that moment, she noticed her best friend had already run after Su Qi. Wang Zijin realized for the first time how nice it was having three people in this dynamic. With Su Qi gone, the show naturally had to go on. A staff member handed a microphone to the host, Wang Zijin. Seeing her spouse's hurried departure along with the fact that he left the fifty-thousand-yuan cheque on stage startled her. Knowing Su Qi's frugality, the fact that she left that substantial sum indicated just how flustered she was. Glancing at the two people who had embarrassed her spouse, Wang Zijin thought, bullying her husband wouldn't go unresolved. Wang Zijin picked up the large cheque belonging to her spouse with one hand and the microphone in the other, and smiled warmly as she said: "Su Qi left in a hurry and unexpectedly left the money on stage." Upon hearing Wang Zijin, the crowd couldn’t help but recall Su Qi's earlier shy escape, and they erupted in laughter. After all, the scene was somewhat entertaining. However, Wang Zijin's next words left everyone stunned: "We must still thank Principal Lin, not only for awarding Su Qi a scholarship but also for creating a spontaneous opportunity for her to build courage. Let's give him a warm round of applause!" Following Wang Zijin’s words, the entire venue burst into enthusiastic applause. Principal Lin Xiangdong, hearing Wang Zijin from below, was dumbfounded. Her comment sounded flawless, even laudatory. But the problem was Su Qi had awkwardly fled; applause seemed out of place. Wasn't this clearly a veiled jab? He instinctively looked up towards Wang Zijin, seeing her on stage wearing an innocuous smile, as if unaware of any faux pas. Lin Xiangdong refused to believe that someone holding the dual roles of Student Council President and host would commit such a basic blunder. Reflecting on the previous incident with Yang Ming, where Wang Zijin had spoken similarly in his office, tinged with warning... Connecting the dots between these occurrences, Lin Xiangdong was even less inclined to dismiss them as coincidences. Watching Wang Zijin animate the atmosphere on stage, Lin Xiangdong couldn’t help but think: Is today’s Student Council President truly this audacious? Even disregarding the principal's authority?
