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

Chapter 360: A Contented Little King Xiao Xiao was pulled into the room by Sister Su. Gazing at the elegantly dressed Sister Su, Xiao Xiao felt a mix of novelty and an overwhelming impulse to pounce on her. With each subtle movement Sister Su made while handing over a stack of manuscript papers, Xiao Xiao found her utterly captivating. As she admired the delicate, smooth skin on Sister Su's graceful neck, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but wish to make that fair expanse even larger. Her mind toyed with the idea of tearing away the vibrant clothes to see the truest side of Sister Su. Su Qi observed the dazed expression of the young girl and chuckled, slightly aware that her outfit differed from her usual style, although the little one's reaction seemed a bit too much. Three minutes had passed since they entered, and Xiao Xiao still hadn’t gathered her thoughts. What Su Qi didn’t know was that, in those three minutes, Xiao Xiao had already imagined various scenes in her mind about being teased. Seeing Xiao Xiao sitting blankly on the bed, Su Qi, hoping to redirect her gaze, thought for a moment before lifting the petite figure onto her lap. The little one was incredibly light, and although Su Qi wasn't the strongest, she could manage the short lift. “Ah—” Feeling the change in momentum, Xiao Xiao instinctively let out a soft exclamation. Fortunately, her voice was so quiet that it didn’t alert the others outside the door. To Su Qi, Xiao Xiao’s small, adorable voice was utterly endearing. Holding the petite girl, Su Qi placed the script into Xiao Xiao's fair, slender hands and said, “Little one, do you want to practice the scenes with me?” “Scenes?” Xiao Xiao asked instinctively. Prompted by Su Qi’s words, her twin-pigtailed head turned towards her. Being so close, Xiao Xiao found Sister Su’s charm irresistible, especially those alluring crimson lips, which seemed to cast a spell. She unconsciously closed her eyes and leaned in. Just as Su Qi was about to speak, she tasted a sweet temptation instead. Moments later, having retreated from the captivating exchange, Su Qi explained her movie filming plans to Xiao Xiao. Upon hearing about Sister Su's plans, disappointment clouded Xiao Xiao’s large, expressive eyes. Her sister was leaving, which meant no more cozy reading sessions together. Having just savored the taste of love, Xiao Xiao found the thought of parting particularly melancholic. Although she was overjoyed by the recent exchange, her face lowered again like an abandoned puppy, evoking pity in her. Seeing this, Su Qi lifted Xiao Xiao’s face and said, “The movie will be wrapped up quickly, definitely before school starts. We only need to fill in some plot points, and it all depends on my pacing. If I’m efficient, I might be back in just ten days! So, if you want me back sooner, practicing with me would help a lot!” Listening to Sister Su's melodious voice, usually reminiscent of a songbird, Xiao Xiao now sensed an additional allure, making Su's already perfect visage even more mesmerizing. However, understanding the seriousness of Su Qi’s proposal, Xiao Xiao knew she couldn’t be selfish. After all, her own parents, whom she loved dearly, also had periods of separation due to work. Moreover, those 'little love tips' advised against hindering the freedom of one’s partner because of love. Pondering this, Xiao Xiao lifted her small head and told her beloved Sister Su, in a soft, syrupy voice, “Alright, Sister Su, but there's a fee.” A fee? Su Qi was momentarily taken aback by the little one's words and then saw her doll-like face approaching closely. Moments later, sitting on Su Qi's soft, warm lap, Xiao Xiao placed the script down and said, “Sister Su, I’ve memorized it.” Watching Xiao Xiao almost match her speed in memorizing the script, Su Qi felt reassured that choosing her as a scene partner was the right decision. “Let’s start from the beginning then,” Su Qi suggested, indicating the scene where Su Daji meets King Zhou on the first page. Thanks to her outfit and earrings, Su Qi embodied Su Daji’s enchantress persona perfectly. Acting, she realized, was akin to solving a problem—by the time you utter your lines, you usually have an intuitive grasp of what’s correct. Perhaps it was the presence of Xiao Xiao or the synergy of their costumes, but Su Qi found herself quite pleased with the delivery of her lines, especially the ones with a bold tone, which even seemed to imbue her gaze with an increased intensity. Xiao Xiao, observing Sister Su deliver her lines, found her ever more alluring. As the third female lead, Su Qi didn’t have an overwhelming amount of scenes, and some couldn’t be rehearsed together. The duo quickly ran through the scenes they could, leaving Su Qi to notice the little King Zhou looking flushed, giving rise to the playful urge to tease the adorable little girl. Slowly trailing her fingers over the smooth, blushing cheeks of the little King Zhou, Su Qi gently lifted her onto her lap and teased, “My king, shall I serve you tonight?” Hearing Su Qi’s teasing, seductive tone and inhaling the faint, pleasant scent, coupled with being called little King Zhou, Xiao Xiao only felt more embarrassed. Su Qi could feel the warmth emanating from the little one’s head. She was about to relent when the time for dinner arrived. Xiao Xiao, still shy and flustered, managed to say, “Sister, dear consort, that scene isn’t in the script.” Witnessing Xiao Xiao’s adorable, blushing face, Su Qi gently pushed the little one onto the soft pink sheets and playfully said, “You remembered the script well, my king! Now see if this scene exists.” With those words, the charming King Zhou was thoroughly enveloped by the grand attire of Su Daji. Moments later, having drained the youthful energy of the sweet little King Zhou, Su Daji contentedly rose. Helping the now-exhausted King Zhou sit up on the bed, she announced, “Come on, my king, it’s time to eat! You need to eat well, otherwise, how will you be served tonight?” Hearing this, Xiao Xiao’s newly calmed face flared red again. Contemplating Sister Su’s Daji playfully bullying her “king,” she realized she liked being teased after all. Yet, meeting the playful, laughing eyes of Su Daji, Xiao Xiao still felt shy and murmured, “Dear consort, you’re the naughtiest! But truth be told, little King Zhou’s heart was quite delighted.
