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

Chapter 301: The Heartless School (3rd Update) As the dining hour approached, more and more students and teachers poured into the canteen. Sitting next to the principal, Su Qi naturally attracted a fair share of attention from both queueing teachers and students due to her remarkable appearance. Fortunately, after surviving the extremely embarrassing situation at Su Da University's lecture, she had fortified her mental resilience. Now, faced with nothing more than pure curious stares, Su Qi felt she could handle it. Su Wei Yi had already finished his meal long ago. His military academy background contributed to his swift eating speed. At this moment, he was explaining some school routines to Su Qi: "Morning readings start at 7 AM, with formal classes commencing at 8. Each class lasts 40 minutes with a 10-minute break in between. There's a 10-minute exercise break, followed by a 2-hour lunch break. Afternoon classes begin at 1:30 PM and there's an hour for dinner at 5 PM. Evening classes run for one and a half hours starting at 6 PM, with a half-hour break, followed by self-study at night. Attendance for evening studies isn't mandatory, but if students decide to go home, they need to report in advance as the teachers will liaison with the parents. The academic day concludes at 10 PM." On hearing her brother's rundown of the schedule, Su Qi felt excited. Wasn't this perfect? She could utilize the focused bonus from 7 AM, stretching it all the way to 10 PM. Barring mealtimes, she could gain at least 13 hours of intense study daily. Moreover, her brother had just mentioned all she had to do was substitute for the 212 class's English lessons. Did that mean she only had an hour of teaching responsibilities each day? Studying 12 hours a day and covering 100 pages every 3 hours, that was 400 pages a day, potentially finishing a book in four days. It seemed the system's plan to earn 100 million was well within reach! Su Wei Yi had expected that after hearing about the grueling teacher schedule, his sister might back down. After all, high school teachers have hefty workloads. He was surprised to find Su Qi even more excited by the news. This intrigued Su Wei Yi, though he couldn't deny it — perhaps his sister was indeed a natural talent for teaching. As Su Qi gathered her tray to leave the dining hall with her brother, she noticed Zhao Tian Ci, whom she had briefly encountered earlier, approaching with a group of male high school students. Before they even got close, Zhao Tian Ci called out, "Teacher Su, could you come teach our 212 class?" Looking at the bunch of students gazing at her with hopeful eyes, Su Qi found it magical. Wasn't she about to teach them anyway? She nodded without hesitation, "I'll be your English teacher shortly. Make sure to concentrate in class!" The male students, thrilled by the news, nodded eagerly. One even chimed in excitedly, "Teacher Su, don't worry, I will definitely listen in your class." Then he awkwardly scratched his head, "But I might not be able to understand everything." To that, Su Qi chuckled, "Take it step by step." After chatting a bit more with the students from class 212, she and her brother exited the canteen. Once outside, Su Qi took a deep breath. It was the first time she'd been looked at with such anticipation. Honestly, it was embarrassing — so embarrassing that she almost felt like fleeing. But alongside the discomfort, she also felt a desire to respond to their expectations. Considering she was now to be a teacher, Su Qi steadily suppressed her social anxiety. Su Wei Yi noticed Su Qi's relieved demeanor and felt that was natural. If overlooking her slightly youthful voice, he could confidently rate her earlier performance a solid 90. Just as he was about to share more tips on teaching, a sudden phone ring interrupted. Knowing it wasn't her phone, Su Qi turned to look at her brother. Su Wei Yi picked up the call, seeing it was Aunt Lu. He suddenly remembered an important matter — he hadn't yet obtained approval from Su Qi's doting mother for her teaching role. Back at the villa, Lu Ran hadn't wanted to bother Su Wei Yi with a call. However, her husband pacing irritably back and forth was too much. Thus, she made the call. As the line connected, Lu Ran asked cheerfully, "Wei Yi, when will you bring Little Qi home? I want to prepare dinner in advance." Su Qi's keen hearing caught her mother's voice, reminding her she hadn't mentioned her teaching plans to her mother yet. Looking over at her brother, who seemed composed, Su Qi exhaled. Her brother would handle it, surely. Su Wei Yi responded first, “Aunt Lu, we’ve already had dinner.” Then, after being asked again about their estimated return time, he paused, carefully choosing his words, "Aunt Lu, it's like this. Little Qi wants to substitute teach for a few days in a high school class. I think she’s capable, so I wanted to give her this opportunity." Then there was a change on the phone — from Lu Ran to Su Lu Jun. "Say that again! I didn't catch it." Hearing his uncle's voice, Su Wei Yi was slightly taken aback. He thought given his explosive temperament, this news would immediately blow up. Yet, unexpectedly, there wasn’t even a single profanity. The key reason was Su Lu Jun wanted to avoid frightening his daughter who was by Su Wei Yi’s side. Presently, Su Lu Jun was indeed at the brink of erupting. How could a simple school tour turn into free labor for his daughter, working for them no less? Su Wei Yi reconsidered and rephrased, "Uncle, Little Qi really has a knack for teaching, and she desires this experience. I thought it would be good for her. If she succeeds in this role, after graduation, I would undoubtedly offer her a job at our school." What Su Wei Yi said was honest; already her excellence was proven by one single test paper. Furthermore, she was still a university student, her potential limitless — such a great prospect needed securing early. Over the phone, both Lu Ran and Su Lu Jun fell silent, intrigued by the prospect. As parents, who wouldn’t want their child nearby? So far, Su San Tai, a small snack business owner with a factory in Su City, spent most of his days there. Meanwhile, the mention of Su Si Yang, a celebrity, needed no further elaboration. They certainly didn’t want their youngest daughter Su Qi to also distance herself after graduation. Thus, when Su Wei Yi proposed, it was enticing. Being a teacher was stable, respected, and still kept home within reach. Even though Lu Ran and Su Lu Jun were unaware of the salary considerations, Lu Ran shrugged it off — she believed she could afford to take care of her daughter, regardless of income. She even preferred Su Qi to become a pampered daughter, always relying on her affectionately. But reality diverged. The fact that Su Qi didn't reveal her condition to her parents spoke volumes of her independence. Now, when Su Qi expressed her wish to become a teacher, and it was something she truly aspired to, meant she could indeed stay and work in Zhejiang post-graduation. After pondering, Lu Ran finally said, "But you must ensure Little Qi doesn't suffer. What time will you come home tonight?" Hearing her mother's voice, Su Qi sighed in relief. Su Wei Yi also sighed, responding, "School ends at ten, we should arrive home by half-past ten, Aunt Lu!” After processing the information, Lu Ran paused for two seconds before replying, “Perhaps you should bring Little Qi home; your school sounds too harsh!” Friendly Reminder: Our site uses cookies to save your reading history and bookshelf, so clearing browser cookies, reinstalling the browser, etc., can erase your reading progress.
