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

Chapter 259: Gu Panpan's Spring (Part 3) "My husband, I'm off to the student council!" Wang Zijin, fully dressed and ready, planted a kiss on Su Qi's flawlessly smooth cheek before leaving the dormitory in satisfaction. After Wang Zijin left, Su Qi couldn't help but sigh. The differences between college students could be quite large; at least she found herself with much more free time. It was then that her other wife hugged her from behind. Feeling the softness behind her head, Su Qi immediately knew who it was. To be honest, An Ning was feeling a bit discontent today. After all, waking up to find Su Qi's soft, silky, fragrant body missing beside her left her somewhat underwhelmed. However, recalling the playful bathroom antics from yesterday, An Ning found it acceptable. Her gaze fell upon the exaggerated stock trading books, and she asked in surprise, "Why are you reading those again?" Su Qi couldn't exactly say that the previous ones were the first volume and these were the second. She could only awkwardly reply, "I skimmed through it the first time, so this time I plan to read it carefully." An Ning held her petite little wife, gazing at her delicate features and those innocent eyes. She had a mind to persuade Su Qi, saying, "Don't bother with stocks, I'll take care of you." But then she thought about it: twenty thousand isn't much. Even if she lost it all, it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, she enjoyed the peace of mind, so she let Su Qi continue. After chatting a bit more, An Ning glanced at the time, thinking it was time for a store inspection. But just as she was about to leave the dorm, she noticed something unusual about Gu Panpan today. For someone usually as laid-back as a salted fish, Gu Panpan was already awake by seven. Though it felt a tad out of place, An Ning, considering that all of them were girls and Gu Panpan had received a good lecture from her and her best friend after court that night, thought she wouldn't dare act out. Thus, she reminded Su Qi once more, "Honey, just stay in the dorm today." Then she left the room. Su Qi nodded at An Ning's words. Not only would she stay in today, she decided she wouldn't leave tomorrow, or even Monday, kicking off her plans to skip Wu Liang's classes that day. In fact, she figured she'd skip all this week's classes. Yes, that should do it! With these thoughts settled, Su Qi returned her focus back to Stock Trading Manual 2. Since the market was closed today and she had nothing else to do, to prevent herself from thinking about the internet gossip of the "Flying Hime Affair," Su Qi decided to immerse herself in Stock Trading Manual 2 all day. By the way, her phone, tucked in her uniform vest, also buzzed with System Mei, who was engrossed in Genshin Impact. Today it was still lucky, landing two five-star weapons in a mere three ten-pulls. If she opened Genshin Impact's draw interface, it would surely display a string of golden "O's" of luck, completely unaffected by any guaranteed pity mechanics thanks to System Mei's mystical manipulations. Gu Panpan watched An Ning leave before she became a bit excited once it was just her and Su Qi left in the room. It wasn't entirely Gu Panpan's fault for being this excited. Ever since their adventure in "Strange Grand Adventure," she harbored some affection for Su Qi. Plus, Su Qi carried the irresistible allure of a ten-point charm aura, which combined with a beguilement buff, turned into a full-on seduction buff—not one that Gu Panpan could resist. Truthfully, if not under the tyrannical eyes of An Ning and Wang Zijin, Gu Panpan might have lost patience long ago. Finally, heaven rewards those who persevere—Gu Panpan felt today was her personal springtime. For her reading today, Su Qi pushed her bangs back with a hairband to keep her forehead clear, untouched by stray hairs. Gu Panpan, unaccustomed to romance, was a very innocent girl. Moving straight to a kiss on the lips would be too challenging for her. Girls giving each other cheek kisses was typical, but the forehead? How does that work? Suggesting such a thing might anger Su Qi, right? After all, they weren’t that close yet—wouldn’t it be weird? Thankfully, Gu Panpan was socially adept despite her thin skin and had thought about this extensively. If Wang Yun were in her shoes, Su Qi might have already been coaxed onto a bed by now. While Gu Panpan was tangled in her dilemma, she watched Su Qi let out a big yawn. At this point, she suddenly remembered that Su Qi had been up since before 3 AM to study today, meaning she would probably take a nap later. Gu Panpan knew that Su Qi was quite an immersive sleeper. At least, that's what she observed when An Ning the she-devil would, late at night, dare to move around Su Qi's bed, and still, Su Qi slept soundly. Thinking this, Gu Panpan felt she should help Su Qi fall asleep faster. But how? Suddenly, her eyes drifted to the dormitory’s refrigerator. While Su Qi was absorbed in her book, she suddenly felt a refreshing sensation at her lips, jolting her from the deep sea of knowledge. She saw that at some point, Gu Panpan had moved beside her, holding a cherry up to her lips. “Taste it, Ah Qi, it’s super sweet.” Hearing this, and noting that the cherry was already touching her lips, Su Qi thought for a moment before eating it. But then Gu Panpan offered another cherry. Su Qi found this dorm dynamic strikingly similar to an anime scene—are dormmates usually this affectionate? While pondering this, Gu Panpan said, “Ah Qi, you focus on your reading. I’ll bring you snacks; you’re too skinny.” Hearing this, Su Qi recalled a viral post about a dorm roommate who turned three other roommates into little pigs in her pursuit of her crush. No way, she thought. Couldn’t be. Glancing at Gu Panpan, Su Qi saw no trace of the cunning intelligence her two wives possessed. Just then, Gu Panpan cheerfully offered a small piece of cream cake. Su Qi once again took it in one bite. Since her body, now "transformed" into a heroine’s physique, wouldn’t gain weight, she didn’t care about overindulging. After about another hour of reading Stock Trading Manual 2, an adequately fed and content Su Qi felt drowsy. No choice—An Ning always liked to cling to her while sleeping, making it hard to breathe. Now she needed a good nap to recover. Contemplating whether to sleep on An Ning’s bed or Zijin’s, Su Qi hesitated for two seconds before choosing An Ning’s. Why? Su Qi would say: because it was closer. Once in An Ning’s bed, surrounded by her scent, Su Qi was soon fast asleep. After an hour of waiting, Gu Panpan, once she was sure Su Qi was sound asleep, daringly climbed up An Ning’s bed. Looking at Su Qi’s peaceful sleeping face, despite her not wearing her silky nightwear, Gu Panpan longed somewhat. But she had to admit, Su Qi in her uniform had a unique allure—something about that formal look felt even more thrilling. It was only now that Gu Panpan took a serious look at Su Qi. As she slept deeply, the butterfly-like lashes relaxed completely, revealing a smooth, pure forehead. Her small face, highlighted by flawless skin, was delicate and captivating. What drew Gu Panpan the most, however, were those thin, inviting peach-pink lips, gleaming with allure and reminding her of the sweet-sour cherries. Seeing Ah Qi sleep so peacefully, Gu Panpan was torn—forehead or lips first? Oh, decisions, decisions! While she fretted, she didn’t notice the dormitory door quietly opening. Her feared nemeses, the two women, were watching her with great interest from the threshold, pondering similarly as Gu Panpan did. How exactly should they discipline this sneaky little cat?
