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

# Chapter 374: If Only She Were a Boy Universities generally start their academic year around September 1st, and Su University is no exception. After wrapping up her film shooting, Su Qi enjoyed a leisurely two-day break at home before preparing to head back to Su University for classes. Although Lu Ran, Su Lujun, and Su Suyang felt reluctant to part with her, they could only tearfully watch the young girl leave, as education is paramount. This time, Su Qi's journey back to school was different. Instead of taking the high-speed train or waiting for a dedicated car, she saw a cool-looking black seven-seater business car pull up at the door without much delay. The black car door swung open in the next moment. Out came a pink silhouette, energetically hopping out of the car and into Su Qi's embrace, her little head burrowing into Su Qi's chest as if she were a kitten. Today, Su Qi was dressed in a JK uniform. She looked down slightly. From her vantage point, she could easily see the undulating curves and the softness under the neckline of her uniform. Although these were her own curves, the sight of the lively little girl's head nudging against her made Su Qi somewhat dumbfounded. There really is a difference between C+ and D, she thought. At that moment, Su Qi suddenly felt a bit afraid to meet her two wives, thinking that if she kept upgrading... They would surpass the adorable little girl's small head! Remembering her habit of snuggling up against An Ning's softness, Su Qi realized that if things progressed further, given how her two wives enjoyed it, it would only lead to a vicious cycle. Imagining a 100% upgrade would mean she'd become larger than her wife An Ning. Su Qi felt a mix of humor and helplessness. While she liked large sizes, she didn't want hers to be that big! Just then, the adorable little girl in her arms lifted her delicate face. This little girl was none other than Xiao Xiao. Today, she had been specially dressed up by her mother, Chu Qin, with a cute princess hairstyle. Lu Yi had picked out a pink dress for her on the day she got her hair done. Paired with her crystal-clear, doll-like face, she looked up at Su Qi. Su Qi couldn't help but feel a slight pang of guilt; she's so tiny and adorable. “Uncle, Auntie, and Brother Su, I'll be going to school with Sister Su, take care!” Xiao Xiao's sweet voice said as she bade farewell to Su Qi's family after their goodbyes. Su Qi was surprised to hear Xiao Xiao's voice. She had assumed the shy little girl would merely wave goodbye. After all, Xiao Xiao rarely spoke in front of others. Unexpectedly, she actively said goodbye. Though her cheeks turned rosy like apples due to tension after speaking, Su Qi felt gratified, as this was the little girl's first step toward change, reminiscent of her own past. Lu Ran, having spent some time with Xiao Xiao, had grown fond of this endearing girl. Remembering the little girl gifting Su Qi a "Fairy Dream Dress," Lu Ran’s affection for her increased considerably. Watching Xiao Xiao's shy demeanor, holding Su Qi's hand, Lu Ran stepped forward and gently touched her small head, warmly saying, "Take care, Xiao Xiao. Next time you and Sister Su come back, Auntie will make you some treats!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously, her twin ponytails bouncing adorably. Seeing Xiao Xiao, who was so young and innocent, Lu Ran couldn't help but remind Su Qi before they boarded the car: “Take care of your little schoolmate.” But the moment she said this, Lu Ran slightly regretted it. Dressed in her JK uniform, her daughter didn't look much older either. With her daughter holding Xiao Xiao's hand, it felt like a high schooler leading a middle schooler, or even a middle schooler leading a primary schooler. If something were to happen, wouldn’t it be like "buy one, get one free"? However, Lu Ran quickly dismissed her worries, knowing Su Qi would have the support of her reliable roommate Miao Jie, her considerate landlord, and those steady classmates. Surely Su Qi and Xiao Xiao would be safe! After getting into the car, Su Qi greeted Xiao Xiao's parents, Xiao Jinyu and Chu Qin. Xiao Jinyu and Chu Qin paused for a moment upon hearing Su Qi's greeting. They were unsure whether to address her as Miss Su or Xiao Qi.’ Su Qi quickly realized and said, "Uncle, Auntie, just call me Xiao Qi. After all, Xiao Xiao and I are schoolmates now." After exchanging greetings, Chu Qin looked at Su Qi in her JK uniform with her daughter, happily chatting away in the car. She felt a pang of disbelief, as this seemingly unaccomplished, yet-to-graduate girl had transformed a self-funded class’s performance to rival that of a tuition-free class within a month. More astonishingly, her daughter had achieved the top grade across her year, even securing a scholarship from Su University. While Chu Qin, through practice papers, realized her daughter might be a genius, it couldn't be denied that this charming girl had inspired her daughter. Over the break, Chu Qin noticed her daughter engaged with a massive book that Su Qi had gifted. Out of curiosity, Chu Qin investigated the book's contents. Honestly, she found nothing spectacular, merely a compilation of respiratory and pulmonary treatments and case studies. Much of it was accessible online, and the book itself was an overwhelming tome, inducing dizziness at a mere glance. Even after attempting to read it, Chu Qin felt nauseated by the dense layout and continuous text. Yet her daughter remained unaffected, managing to read it quickly. Moreover, Chu Qin discovered that her daughter, leveraging her high IQ and the book’s case studies, had found ways to manage her respiratory illness. Now, her once pale face had gained a healthy glow, and hospital checks affirmed positive progress. Amidst all this, Chu Qin couldn’t help but consider Su Qi a blessing to her daughter. From the backseat, she heard her daughter’s bright, joyful laughter. Watching her daughter’s exuberant, sunlit smile and vibrant eyes filled with excitement and looking at Su Qi gently holding her little head and softly narrating her film set stories, Chu Qin suddenly felt a sense of regret. If only she were a boy!
