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

Chapter 351: Xiao Xiao's Transformation August 8th, 9 a.m. Ding-dong— Hearing the doorbell, Lu Ran set down the vacuum cleaner she was holding. Seeing who was at the door, she opened it and said, "Xiao Xiao, you're here early today. Are you here to study with your senior?" "Auntie Lu, good morning. Yes, today I wanted to study with Sister Su. Is that okay?" Hearing the shy and timid reply from the little girl, Lu Ran patted her head and, with a nod, ushered her into the villa. Lu Ran was taken aback by the sight of Xiao Xiao's attire today. She wore a pink doll-like short dress with purple lace trimming, a sky-blue ribbon tied around her neck, complementing her delicate physique, while a small platinum tiara adorned her jet-black hair. Her outfit was one thing, but the most significant change was Xiao Xiao's fringe, usually casting a shadow over her face, had been carefully trimmed to reveal her bright, eloquent eyes. Her gleaming eyes, paired with her petite figure and naturally soft doll-like face, made her look like an exquisite Barbie doll, touching Lu Ran's heart with tenderness. Why did Xiao Xiao undergo such a change? The story goes back to August 3rd. After Xiao Xiao confirmed a 'secret' relationship with her beloved Senior Sister Su, on August 5th, she called Su Qi, asking if they could study together. Listening to Xiao Xiao's sweet and soft loli voice over the phone, Su Qi quickly agreed. From that day on, the little girl would come to Su Qi's home every morning to study with her beloved Sister Su. Yesterday, while watching Xiao Xiao read, Su Qi noticed the little girl frequently brushing aside the fringe that covered her expressive eyes. Frankly, Su Qi always had a problem with Xiao Xiao's bangs. They almost completely obscured the little girl's pretty face, giving off a somber vibe. Since before, Su Qi had wanted to suggest a new style for Xiao Xiao, but she refrained because of their student-senior relationship. Now, with their secret relationship established, when Su Qi suggested trimming her bangs, Xiao Xiao hesitated for two seconds before agreeing. Though exposing her eyes made her shy, Xiao Xiao wanted Sister Su to like her a little more. When it came to cutting girls' hair, Su Qi, who hadn't set foot in a barber shop since becoming a girl, had no clue. She had to ask her mom, Lu Ran, for help. Through their interactions, Lu Ran had also formed an opinion on Xiao Xiao's gloomy bangs but felt it inappropriate to bring it up. When she heard Xiao Xiao wanted to cut her bangs, she was thrilled and drove Xiao Xiao and her daughter to a luxurious hair salon. Upon seeing the grand and lavish salon, Su Qi instantly thought the prices wouldn't be cheap, intimidating her from entering as someone afraid of overspending. When Su Qi followed her mom inside and saw the price list, she was stunned. Men's haircuts came in three options: 58 yuan, 188 yuan, 588 yuan—corresponding to a trainee, Tony teacher, and manager respectively. But what shocked Su Qi even more was the cost of cutting a girl's hair. After exiting the salon and seeing the bill, Su Qi was dumbfounded. Trimming Xiao Xiao's bangs cost 1688 yuan. Following this, Lu Ran gazed at Xiao Xiao's unobstructed eyes and found them incredibly cute. Lu Ran knew that the parents of the 212 class students had given generous support to their daughters, with Xiao Xiao's father at the forefront. Given the support Xiao Xiao's father provided her daughter, Lu Ran, as a grateful mother, felt she needed to reciprocate for Xiao Xiao. After the haircut, she took the little girl shopping for several new outfits. Being inherently shy, Xiao Xiao silently played the role of a mannequin while Lu Ran indulged in a shopping spree, enjoying every moment. Ultimately, it was Su Qi who, worried Xiao Xiao might get exhausted, called a halt to the shopping trip. When Lu Ran looked at Xiao Xiao now, the shy blush returned to her face. In the past, she would usually lower her head in such situations. However, the day before, Aunt Lu had advised her to keep her head up because looking down wasn’t attractive. To avoid disappointing Sister Su's mother, Xiao Xiao slowly lifted her head, looked at Aunt Lu, and hugged the big book given by Sister Su closer to her chest. Timidly, she asked, "Aunt Lu, do you think my outfit today is... strange?" There was a reason for Xiao Xiao's question. After she returned home last night, her parents, Chu Qin and Xiao Jinyu, were visibly moved by her transformation, even complimenting her looks. However, how could her frail body possibly be described as beautiful? With her long-standing social anxiety, Xiao Xiao assumed her parents were comforting her. Now, as she looked at Aunt Lu, she wanted to ask if she truly looked nice. Seeing the anxious little girl with bright eyes looking expectantly at her, Lu Ran pondered and deliberately waited two seconds before saying, "Hmm, it is a bit strange." Hearing this, Xiao Xiao unconsciously pouted, lowering her head again, only for Aunt Lu to laugh and add, "Strangely adorable." Upon hearing the full comment, Xiao Xiao looked up with disbelief; a joyous expression spread across her doll-like face. However, when she met Aunt Lu's gaze once more, shyness overcame her, turning her soft little ears an unmistakable red. Lu Ran thought the little girl had such a thin skin, it was truly amusing, much like her daughter. After telling Xiao Xiao that Su Qi was in the study room, Xiao Xiao put on her duck slippers and quickly made her way towards it, hugging her medical book tightly. In the living room, she happened to meet Su's father. Xiao Xiao politely greeted Uncle Su and received a big lollipop and a compliment for being cute. Inside the study, Su Qi, having overheard the little girl talking with her dad, was about to go out and greet Xiao Xiao when she saw her trotting towards her in her duck slippers. Seeing Xiao Xiao’s new hair and outfit, Su Qi thought she truly resembled a little doll. After closing the door, Su Qi was tackled by the sweet and soft Xiao Xiao. Shyly, she asked, "Sister Su, do I look good without my bangs?" Though Xiao Xiao still spoke with a timid tone, Su Qi noticed the little girl could now maintain eye contact a bit more, though she'd shy away upon direct eye contact and her face would still flush—yet it was progress. Most importantly, Xiao Xiao’s expressive eyes were quite beautiful once exposed. Thinking for a moment, Su Qi didn't answer verbally but simply bent down slowly. After a quiet moment, Su Qi looked at the slightly panting little girl and said, "I can't say if you look good or not, but you sure are sweet." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's entire face began to heat up as she scrambled to get off Sister Su, sitting in a chair beside her and pretending to study by opening her big book. After a while, Xiao Xiao quietly muttered, "Sister Su, you're the worst." But despite her words, the corners of Xiao Xiao's doll-like face couldn't help but lift in a smile. Considering how long "kisses" had lasted just now, Xiao Xiao knew her transformation was truly appreciated by Sister Su. Cutting the bangs turned out to be a great choice— Warm reminder: If you like this book, please add it to your shelf to find it easily next time. Previous Chapter | Contents | Next Chapter Contact Us
