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

第289章 因果报应 Su Qi was quite troubled. After finally seeing her long-lost third brother, Su Santai, she had expected a warm and emotional reunion between siblings. After all, this was their first meeting since she had transformed into a girl. However, to her dismay, her brother merely greeted her briefly before quietly asking, "Little Qi, are these two sisters your friends? You know your third brother isn't in a relationship, could you introduce them to me?" Su Qi: ??? At this moment, Su Qi felt as if her heart had suffered ten thousand points of damage. Her high regard for her third brother plummeted, equating him with Su Siyang, and slightly lower than her fourth brother. After all, her fourth brother had only been double-standarded, whereas her third brother was coveting her own wife and Wang Yun, with whom she'd had close contact. Su Qi felt a field of green grass growing on her head. Moreover, instead of showing more attention to his long-lost sister, he was busy eyeing other women. Isn't this a classic example of valuing romance over family? Su Qi was furious at the discovery of this kind of third brother. Wang Yun and Wang Zijin weren't entirely sure about the whispered conversation between the siblings. Nevertheless, the two smart women could guess Su Santai's intentions from his gaze. Wang Zijin found it amusing, recalling how her mother-in-law, Lu Ran, once mentioned Su Qi's third brother when they met! Back then, her own husband had strongly opposed it. Unexpectedly, now that the man stood before her, he wanted Su Qi to play matchmaker. Wang Zijin couldn't help but think this might be what people call reaping what you sow! Seeing her sister ignoring him, Su Santai was a bit surprised, given she had once promised to introduce someone to him. Yet, he couldn't deny that Su Qi, as a sister, was even more adorable when she was angry than she had been as a brother. "Brother, would you help me put my luggage in the car? Let's head home!" Su Qi finally let out a sigh of relief when her brother's attention shifted from the Wang sisters. For the first time, she experienced a twinge of jealousy. Hearing his sister, Su Santai reluctantly took another look at the Wang sisters before taking the suitcase from Su Qi's hand. "Sister Zijin, Sister Wang Yun, I'm heading out now," Su Qi reluctantly bid them farewell. Wang Zijin, hearing her husband’s words of parting, felt the first pangs of separation anxiety at the prospect of a month-long separation. After a moment's thought, she leaned down and pecked Su Qi’s tender, fair left cheek, exhaling softly into her ear, "Dear, I'll come to see you during the break, and who knows, maybe we’ll have a sparring match." Su Qi's cheeks flushed slightly at her wife’s declaration, but the thought of Wang Zijin visiting gave her something to look forward to. Just as Su Qi was about to leave after bidding Zijin farewell, Wang Yun grasped her hand. She then felt a soft sensation on her opposite cheek. Wang Yun even made sure to give her smooth, sweet cheek a quick lick at the end, causing Su Qi's cheeks to turn entirely crimson. Wang Zijin, seeing her sister in action, quickly pulled her back. She heard Wang Yun say: "What? You kissed the left, why can't I kiss the right? You can’t just have rules for yourself and not for others." "How's that the same? I’m Su Qi's..." Just as Wang Zijin was about to say "wife," she caught her sister’s scrutinizing gaze. Not wanting to reveal their relationship, Wang Zijin said, "We're roommates." "Oh? Then I'm her teacher, isn't it normal for girls to give a friendly kiss on the cheek?" Wang Yun said with a playful smile. As she spoke, she leaned in to go for another kiss, only to be stopped by Wang Zijin, determined to prevent her sister from getting hooked on her wife. Little did Wang Zijin know, her elder sister was already quite taken by her wife. Wang Yun's actions served as a prelude for the future since she knew well that “wanting to keep something hidden only makes it more conspicuous.” With Su Qi's poor acting skills, it was only a matter of time before her perceptive sister caught on. Considering the attractiveness of Su Qi, staying away would be like switching from an exquisite feast to plain vegetables, something the carnivorous Wang Yun couldn't stomach! After this small interlude, Su Qi watched longingly from inside the car, waving goodbye to her wife, Zijin, and Sister Wang Yun. Sitting in the back seat of the business car, Su Santai felt a bit hurt as his sister kept her distance. He had hoped to build a closer relationship with her. Thinking it over, Su Santai said, "Sit in the passenger seat, Little Qi. I've brought lots of snacks for you." Remembering her brother’s earlier attempt to charm her wife, Su Qi was still upset. Observing his sister’s small, pouting face, Su Santai was utterly bewildered. Why had his brother become a sister and altered so much? As a brother, Little Qi had been obedient. Nonetheless, as a snack factory owner, Su Santai was not alone. Accompanying them was Shen Meng, a fresh graduate responsible for his company's live-streaming promotion, joining them on the ride back to Zhejiang City. In the rearview mirror, Su Santai sent Shen Meng a signal. At 24, Shen Meng had graduated and joined Su Santai's company, drawn by her fondness for the octopus snacks his factory produced. During her internship, she eagerly submitted her resume and was quickly hired for her broadcasting talents, gaining her first real job. Thanks to the tasty "octopus snacks," her following on the streaming platform rose to 100,000, transforming her from a recent graduate into a popular influencer. Impressively, she now earned a five-figure monthly income, and it didn’t start with a 1! Shen Meng was pleased with her success, acknowledging that not as many people as portrayed in short videos earned such high incomes. Among her acquaintances, only a select few achieved such earnings. Thankful for the boss's excellent product, which helped her achieve financial freedom, Shen Meng held him in high regard. Even if Su Santai's small eyes made it hard to interpret his expressions, she could discern his intent to cheer up his sister, similar to her own interactions with her brother. When Shen Meng set her eyes on Su Qi, she was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Fairy!"
