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

**Chapter 291: Teacher Su (Third Part)** Su Qi hadn’t expected that her simple act of picking up her phone would reveal her face to the live audience. After returning the phone to Shen Meng, Su Qi quickly retreated to a more distant seat. Seeing various “Flying Princess” comments popping up on the screen, Shen Meng clasped her hands towards Su Qi apologetically and said: “Sorry, Su Qi.” Then, addressing the audience, she continued, “Hmph, now you all know how beautiful our boss’s sister is, right? And please, stop with the ‘Flying Princess’ comments, most girls don’t like that kind of thing.” However, the audience wasn’t about to heed the streamer’s advice and kept on with the “Flying Princess” remarks. They had indeed noticed Su Qi’s slightly blushing face earlier and found teasing her utterly entertaining. Additionally, with Shen Meng’s phone set to maximum beauty filter, Su Qi’s already enchanting face appeared even more ethereal on the screen, like a little fairy. This only made everyone more eager to see her again. Shen Meng, not wanting to upset her boss’s sister, thought for a moment and then said, “I was thinking of bringing Su Qi on the stream with me, but if you guys keep this up, that might not be possible, and I’ll have to go solo again! I’m sure you all really enjoy just me, right?” After saying this, the bullet screen fell completely silent. The “Flying Princess” comments dwindled significantly, replaced by nicknames like “Sword Dance Princess” or “Chuunibyou Princess” for Su Qi. Seeing this, Shen Meng was satisfied and proceeded to open a pack of octopus snacks, continuing her stream. Su Qi watched Shen Meng’s streaming with some surprise. Contrary to her expectations of performances or talent showcases, Shen Meng was simply... eating! She occasionally spoke, which left Su Qi taken aback about the streaming industry; it was different from what she imagined. She had always thought one needed eloquence and extraordinary talent to succeed. She found it perplexing that simply eating could gather so many fans. Reading through the quirky nicknames for herself in the comments, Su Qi felt embarrassed but had to admit it was less humiliating compared to “Flying Princess.” Sensing that Su Qi was indeed happier with fewer "Flying Princess" comments, Shen Meng came up with a plan to address the nickname. She whispered a few words into Su Qi’s ear, and when Su Qi didn’t object, Shen Meng announced to the screen: “Dear viewers, if you all stop using ‘Flying Princess,’ I’ll invite Su Qi to stream next time, okay?” The response in the comments was an enthusiastic yes. After all, Su Qi’s appearance was genuinely stunning, and many fans in Shen Meng’s stream already knew her. Su Qi agreed for two reasons: one, she wanted to reduce the “Flying Princess” comments, and two, she still owed her chat group friends a livestream. She thought this would be a good chance to get used to streaming beforehand, to avoid any awkward situations since she knew interacting with others wasn't her strong suit nor was she as naturally charismatic as Shen Meng. So, she considered this a preparatory session. Su Santai’s seven-seater van had a 2-3-3 seating arrangement. Typically, Su Qi and Shen Meng would sit with a seat apart, but now Su Qi moved next to the camera. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she greeted the camera, “Um, hi everyone, I’m Su Qi. Uh, please don’t call me ‘Flying Princess’!” Her timid voice and shy demeanor reminded the audience of a pure, clichéd romance where a young girl experiences her first love. The comment section erupted. Shen Meng was pleased with the outpouring and a growing crowd. She knew Su Qi would draw viewers, but she hadn’t anticipated her popularity to be this immense. Yet, the downside was that Su Qi was too nervous, clearly at a loss about even where to place her hands. It was crucial to know that if a guest on a stream is too anxious, even with Su Qi’s undeniable looks, the audience might grow weary eventually. Thinking it over, Shen Meng whispered to Su Qi, “Little Qi, why don’t you browse your phone or find something to do, and I’ll handle the streaming? Don’t stress too much.” Hearing Shen Meng’s suggestion, Su Qi thought for a moment and then retrieved her stock trading manual, placing it in front of her and began to read. Once Su Qi started studying, she was wholly absorbed in the world of knowledge. The viewers saw Su Qi holding an impressively large book, finding the pairing of a beauty with a hefty tome quite fitting, lending a sense of literary sophistication. Coupled with Su Qi’s uniform outfit today, many couldn’t help but dub her “Teacher Su.” Numerous students even commented that if such a beautiful teacher gave lessons, they’d never skip class. Shen Meng found the stream of “Teacher Su” comments amusing. Yet Shen Meng couldn’t deny that Su Qi did exude a teacher-like dignity and aura at that moment. Then, Shen Meng glanced at her other phone. The number of viewers in her stream had risen from 1,800 to 3,400, and it continued to grow—a positive sign, even though the number of orders had plateaued. Spotting the diligent Su Qi beside her, Shen Meng opened another pack of octopus snacks and offered a full piece to Su Qi’s mouth. People engrossed in study or work often subconsciously crave something to chew on when they’re in the zone! Deep in her study, Su Qi didn’t notice Shen Meng’s hand, but her nose caught the aroma, prompting her to instinctively open her mouth. *Crunch, crunch* went the relentless chewing. And then Shen Meng handed her another... and another... and another. Unconsciously, Su Qi devoured them, her right cheek puffing up like a hamster’s. But one had to admit, the octopus snacks were truly delicious. The viewers, watching Su Qi munch on the crispy, fragrant octopus snacks, found it quite appetizing too. The comment section exploded with messages like: “Streamer, don’t feed her any more!” While others said, “Feed her more!” Undeniably, Shen Meng’s feeding move spurred the sales of octopus snacks significantly. In just half an hour, all 2,000 packs of octopus snacks were sold out, and the number of viewers in the stream rose to over 10,000—a milestone worth celebrating. Moreover, the numbers kept climbing. Shen Meng felt the flow of audience brought by this little girl was overwhelming. After waiting a while longer, seeing Su Qi engrossed in her book, Shen Meng opened another pack of octopus snacks and began a new round of feeding. Watching the viewer count grow, Shen Meng’s mindset shifted. At this moment, she fervently hoped their trip to Zhejiang would take as long as possible because, for a streamer, the audience numbers were incredibly crucial. After two hours, the count surged to over 20,000, leveling off as it stabilized. By then, the audience had finished shopping, mostly curious about Su Qi’s dedicated studying. More people began to wonder how long Su Qi could possibly continue studying. Three hours later, they noticed she was still reading. Four hours later, Su Qi remained engrossed in her book. Even as Shen Meng disembarked, the comments were ever-changing. Finally, due to Su Qi’s uniform outfit, she had earned herself a new title—Teacher Su.
