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

--- Chapter 376: Returning to Green City District The car maneuvered its way through traffic and finally arrived at the Green City District near Su University at 3 PM. To accompany Xiao Xiaoxiao to start her college life, Xiao Jinyu and Chu Qin had cleared their schedules for two days. During this time, they planned to buy some college essentials for their daughter and also take a look at the surroundings of Su University. Furthermore, they intended to assist Xiao Xiaoxiao in purchasing a nearby property as a potential retreat. Since joining the dorms at college, although their daughter had become somewhat more outgoing, both Xiao Jinyu and Chu Qin knew she was still quite different from others. They wanted to ensure she wouldn't be bullied, having a backup plan in case her dorm relationships soured. They couldn't bear the thought of their precious daughter crying under the covers every night. The car came to a stop near the Green City District. Su Qi thought about inviting the trio to her little place since she had hitched a ride with Xiao Xiaoxiao. However, realizing it had been over a month since she last visited and likely was quite dusty, she decided against it. Fortunately, Chu Qin and Xiao Jinyu were also looking forward to exploring the area and didn't intend to sit indoors. Before their arrival, the Xiao family had meticulously planned their itinerary. Although Xiao Xiaoxiao was reluctant to part with her beloved Su sister, she waved her hand wistfully and said, "See you on the first day of school, Su sister!" Su Qi, seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao's pouty face, patted her collagen-rich cheeks and said, "Then see you the day after tomorrow. Get familiar with the area in the meantime, and soon we'll be officially senior and junior sisters at school!" Hearing Su Qi's words, Xiao Xiaoxiao, originally disheartened, became enthusiastic, nodding fervently, "Yes, Su Senior Sister, see you then!" After watching the Xiao family's car disappear into the distance, Su Qi turned her gaze back to Green City District, which she hadn't seen for nearly two months. Suddenly, she recalled a concern — she had only paid Wang Yun Jie a quarter's rent, which meant the rent had expired. Su Qi planned to discuss renewing the lease with Wang Yun Jie during their meeting. Curious about why Su Qi rented this place despite having a dorm, her answer was simple: there were fewer chances for 'intense one-on-ones' in the dormitory. But Green City 1507 was different; there were no extra onlookers there. Recalling how her own Zijin and Annin “bullied” her last time, Su Qi thought it was time to teach Zijin a lesson, to show her who’s boss. Even though she hadn't yet found Zijin’s weak spot and risked a counterattack, this ‘Enchanted Concubine Rebirth’ mission provided her with many red flowers. Although the mission wasn't complete, Su Qi felt confident in her performance. Both her brother and Director Zhang were pleased with her acting skills, granting her assurance. Thinking of the use for those red flowers, Su Qi's lips curled into a smirk. She had already decided to give each of her two partners one, keeping a special one prepared for the mischievous Bai Miao, to teach those who bullied her a deep lesson! Imagining the trio's pleas, Su Qi couldn’t help but mimic the system's voice, humming in amusement. Surprisingly, it was quite entertaining. Feeling uplifted, Su Qi dragged her suitcase towards the security post at Green City District. The security uncle's eyes lit up upon seeing her and he exclaimed, "Little superstar, back to school already?" Hearing “little superstar,” Su Qi blushed. She had deliberately avoided wearing the usual uniform set to remain unrecognizable, opting for a JK uniform instead. Unlike her typical loose hairstyle, today she had her mother style it into a cute bun. Despite her efforts, she was still recognized. Fortunately, there were no other people at the entrance to Green City District. After exchanging greetings with the security uncle, Su Qi asked, "Is Bai Miao here today?" The security uncle shook his head, “She’s likely on another business trip. Seems there's some ongoing real estate reform. She was here just a couple of days ago, then off she went again.” Su Qi wasn’t surprised. She had known from Bai Miao’s previous mentions that real estate prices were an ongoing challenge not easily solved. Yet, she empathized with how hard Bai Miao had it, seemingly worse than the busy Wang Yun Jie. Regardless, Wang Yun Jie managed a day off weekly, whereas Bai Miao was like a spinning top, endlessly rotating. Su Qi sighed, realizing that working life post-university was hard, both for employees and bosses alike. Clutching the necklace Bai Miao had given her, Su Qi silently sympathized for her in her heart, promising to invite her for tea someday for a proper break once the mission was accomplished. Bidding farewell to the security uncle, Su Qi pulled her suitcase along paths she hadn’t traversed in a while within Green City District. A glance at her phone revealed it was just past 4 PM. Once back in her place, she decided she might as well tidy up, saving Wang Yun Jie the trouble. Since it was the weekend, the district was bustling. To avoid being recognized, Su Qi kept her head down, trying to remain unnoticed, although her stylish JK uniform and prominent figure still attracted some attention. Her graceful aura couldn’t easily be ignored. Thankfully, most residents in Green City moved about in pairs, so no daring male approached her. However, the absence of men didn’t imply the absence of boys. Before long, a young boy led two girls towards Su Qi. Recognizing the boy, Su Qi felt a bit awkward; it was the same little fellow she encountered in the elevator when she had first transformed. Unexpectedly sophisticated for his age, Su Qi anticipated greatness in his future! While reflecting on the young boy’s appeal, he suddenly approached her and said, “Pretty big sister, will you be my girlfriend? I have a 300 monthly allowance.” Stunned by the little boy's forwardness, Su Qi was taken aback. Being hit on by a kid? As she pondered how best to decline without hurting the boy’s feelings, a squeal erupted — the boy’s two girlfriends had grabbed his ears, executing what resembled a "crocodile death roll." Cringing slightly at the boy’s shrieks, Su Qi couldn't help but shiver, realizing how closely his situation mirrored her own. --- *Tip: If you like this novel and don't want to lose track, remember to add it to your bookshelf!* Previous Chapter | Contents | Next Chapter Contact Us You might also enjoy these stories: - Billionaire CEO Spoils His Wife Like Crazy - Flash Marriage into Favor: The Hubby is a Billion-Dollar Tycoon! - Family favorites me?
