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

## Chapter 375: Xiao Xiaoxiao's Change (Part 3) Su Qi sat comfortably in the spacious business car driven by Xiao Jinyu. The ample space ensured she felt no trace of motion sickness. After exchanging brief greetings with Xiao Xiaoxiao, Su Qi began chatting with the adorable little girl. Having not seen her for a few days, Su Qi noticed that Xiao Xiaoxiao’s once flat chest now seemed to have a slight curve. Xiao Xiaoxiao, aware of Su Qi's gaze, blushed slightly. Perhaps it was thanks to the secret manual Su Qi gifted her that her health had improved, or maybe, as described in "Little Love Tips," being touched by someone you love could indeed make one grow. Xiao Xiaoxiao's small frame was indeed undergoing a modest transformation. Her once flatter silhouette now began to show some definition. Although shy under Su Qi's scrutiny, Xiao Xiaoxiao remained silent and puffed out her chest, trying to make it look more pronounced. Observing the little girl, Su Qi found the action unbearably cute, despite Xiao Xiaoxiao's evident bashfulness. This reminded her of the shy demeanor Xiao Xiaoxiao had when bidding farewell to her family earlier. Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao's reddened face and the timid way she tilted her head to look up, Su Qi thought that if her uncle and aunt weren’t present, she probably couldn’t have resisted stealing a kiss. She was just too adorable right now. Su Qi couldn’t help but recall how Xiao Xiaoxiao's innocent cuteness had also just won over her own mother. A thought popped into her mind—could Xiao Xiaoxiao's charm possibly win over her two wives too? Nevertheless, Su Qi quickly dismissed the idea as unrealistic. Seeing Su Qi furrowing her brows, appearing to be deep in thought, Xiao Xiaoxiao softly asked, "Sister Su, is there anything I can help you with?" Hearing the tender lilt in Xiao Xiaoxiao's voice, Su Qi glanced at the little girl. But when she saw her clear, bright eyes, she ultimately decided not to voice her troubles. After all, the trouble stemmed from Xiao Xiaoxiao herself. The car ride was smooth and bump-free. Since it was a Saturday, the stock market was closed. With some time on her hands, Su Qi decided to peruse her stock trading manual. With time equating to money, she couldn’t afford to waste even a moment. Setting down the small table at the front seat, Su Qi placed the trading manual on it and began to read. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiaoxiao mimicked her and set down her own small table. Unlike Su Qi, though, she didn’t read; instead, she tilted her head to study Su Qi. Slightly taken aback, Su Qi playfully tapped Xiao Xiaoxiao's nose, saying, "Why stare at me? There’s no knowledge on my face. Have you finished your book already?" Though the tap was gentle and painless, Xiao Xiaoxiao instinctively covered her nose, rubbing it softly as she replied, "Sister Su, I’ve finished it! Aren’t I impressive?" Su Qi was momentarily stunned. The manual was thicker than what Su Qi was currently reading, and Xiao Xiaoxiao had already finished it! She knew Xiao Xiaoxiao was very intelligent and read quickly, but she hadn’t anticipated her having the perseverance to finish such a hefty medical treatise. Initially, Xiao Xiaoxiao only read it because it was a gift from her beloved Su Qi. The content was secondary to Su Qi’s thoughtful gesture. Over time, however, she discovered within the medical manual cases that vaguely resembled her own condition. Combining different analyses and treatments from the book, Xiao Xiaoxiao began making dietary adjustments and drinking herbal remedies. Initially, due to inexperience, she experienced slight discomfort. But as she read more of the book and matched it with her body's reactions, she meticulously adjusted her prescription daily. Gradually, her attitude towards the book shifted from reluctant reading to a genuine eagerness to learn. As her health showed gradual improvement each day, Xiao Xiaoxiao felt genuinely happy, even going through the medical manual twice, nearly memorizing all its contents. Watching Xiao Xiaoxiao’s expression eager for praise, Su Qi couldn’t help but smile humorously, remarking, "You’ve only finished one book. Remember, there are six in total! Don’t celebrate too soon!" Hearing about six books, Xiao Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. Just one book had improved her health noticeably; what about the whole set? Excited, Xiao Xiaoxiao immediately dove into Su Qi’s embrace. Su Qi, feeling Xiao Xiaoxiao snuggle against her chest, was momentarily surprised. Not by the soft, rhythmic sensation but by the faint change in Xiao Xiaoxiao’s strength—it seemed slightly increased. Recalling their earlier conversation and noting the clarity in Xiao Xiaoxiao’s once faint, whispery voice, Su Qi felt happiness swell within her. This surely indicated better health than before. However, Su Qi’s sharp intellect quickly triggered another thought. Improved health meant improved strength. She didn’t want to become the weakest existence! To verify her hypothesis, Su Qi called upon her beloved system for assistance. Soon, Xiao Xiaoxiao’s simple stats appeared as before: Name: Xiao Xiaoxiao Attractiveness: 6.7 Intelligence: 7.1 (Genius) Strength: 2.4 (Can be subdued by a weakling) Endurance: 3.2 (Respiratory Disorder Syndrome) Seeing the increased stats, Su Qi was genuinely pleased for Xiao Xiaoxiao's improved health. However, noting the strength increase from 2 to 2.4 and the description no longer including "easily subdued," Su Qi felt a pang of anxiety. Wasn’t she soon to be outmatched? Yet, as she watched the cute, soft-hearted girl nestled in her arms, Su Qi quickly discarded such worries. As long as she could enjoy teasing her for now, Xiao Xiaoxiao would likely get used to the teasing as a normal habit. Even if Xiao Xiaoxiao later became stronger, she probably wouldn’t resist, right? With a reassuring smile, Su Qi gently patted the little girl’s head, saying, "When school starts, I’ll give you the second book!" Xiao Xiaoxiao, thrilled at the prospect of another book, snuggled even closer, oblivious to the invisible net slowly enveloping her.
