384 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 384: So My Husband Is Actually Like This... Inside the B2 parking lot of Green City Apartments, in a fully powered-down Mercedes G-Class, the number of passengers in the back seat has suddenly increased from one to three. Seated in the middle of the back seat, Su Qi finds herself sandwiched between her two wives. Both of them hold a suspicious black plastic bag. Su Qi knows what's inside—it's the "Pinocchio gift" just described. However, looking at the bulging plastic bags and recalling what her wife Zijing said about a 'liar,' Su Qi suspects that it's definitely not something good. When her two wives raised the bags in front of her, indicating for her to choose one, Su Qi, trying to change the subject, thought for a moment and said, "Zijing, dear, An Ning, darling, I missed you so much this past month. Let’s skip choosing, alright?" As she spoke, Su Qi didn't forget to tug at the hems of their clothes with her little hands, trying to cutely muddle through. But, unexpectedly, her wives wouldn’t budge. An Ning, in particular, gently reminded her, "Our little welcome ceremony for meeting you can't be skipped, my dear. After all, the last time we taught you self-defense class, we didn't finish the lesson!" At the mention of 'self-defense class,' Su Qi shivered involuntarily. Whether it actually defended against ruffians, she was unsure, but she was certain that the 'instruction' was definitely not orthodox! Shaking her head vigorously, Su Qi indicated that she wasn’t interested in learning. Bringing the topic back again, Zijing asked first, "So, dear, which 'Pinocchio gift' are you going to choose?" Meeting Zijing's gaze, Su Qi asked weakly, "Can't I not choose?" When Zijing heard Su Qi's reply, she shook her head, saying, "No, dear! Because you still haven’t explained who was in your room. Could it be some cute little girl?" Upon hearing Zijing's words, Su Qi was 100% sure that Wang Yun didn't tell Zijing about what happened in Su City! And since she didn't do anything in Zhe City yesterday, didn’t it mean she didn’t have to choose the 'Pinocchio gift’? With that thought, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, stating, "Zijing, my room was empty yesterday, absolutely no cute little girl!" She was telling the truth since she had left Zhe City yesterday, and the mischievous Xiao Xiaoxiao certainly didn't enter her room. This long-missed honesty made Su Qi feel exceptionally relieved. Zijing and An Ning exchanged puzzled glances at this unexpected relief from Su Qi. Normally, this wasn’t how she would react! Could it be they had been overthinking her relationship with Xiao Xiaoxiao? But something didn't add up! Su Qi had been unusually tense in the car. Pondering awhile, Zijing asked, “Then why did you sound so distracted and incoherent on the phone yesterday, and what's with that ‘wow’? Explain yourself clearly and you might not have to choose!” Faced with Zijing's question, Su Qi felt a headache forming. It was tough to explain. At this time, An Ning also chimed in with her signature sophisticated tone, “Why did you have to go to the bathroom twice? If you can’t explain, I’ll choose Pinocchio for you!” Hearing An Ning’s command, Su Qi felt overwhelmed. Even she couldn’t logically connect going to the bathroom twice in half an hour! Just as Su Qi was racking her brains, preparing to reluctantly choose between the two ‘Pinocchio sets,’ she unexpectedly heard the charming voice of her system AI. “Host, I found a great suggestion in your Baidu Cloud's hidden video! Hehe!” Hearing this input, Su Qi felt that the little AI was becoming more childish lately. The use of interjections in its speech was undeniably cute. However, Su Qi quickly caught on—hidden video in her cloud drive? Reflecting on the content of her cloud, Su Qi had a guess. Given it was a "hidden video," naturally it was nothing proper! Typically, she would reprimand her system AI for dabbling in peculiar stuff, given its perceived youth. But there was no time for that now. This was because Su Qi had just glimpsed a fluffy tail-like shape peeking from An Ning's black bag! The thought of a tail made Su Qi shiver, because whenever her stat hit 10%, she developed some odd attribute, so tails were definitely a no-go. To avoid acquiring any bizarre traits, Su Qi, setting aside her grievances with the AI, hurriedly asked, “What’s the suggestion?” The system AI quickly blurted out its suggestion. After hearing it, Su Qi felt a deep sense of shame. The suggestion indeed tarnished her esteemed image! As Su Qi hesitated to provide any alibi, Zijing and An Ning were almost certain Su Qi was hiding something. They were about to open the black bags to deliver justice when Su Qi cautiously began, “Well, um, just don’t laugh when you hear my reason!” Detecting the timid tone and the blush on Su Qi's cheeks, Zijing and An Ning paused. They were eager to hear what Su Qi would come up with this time. Swallowing hard, Su Qi covered her face with her hands and shyly murmured, “I was, um, using that gift you gave me…” Zijing and An Ning, seeing their bashful husband curling into a small ball before finishing her explanation, were puzzled about what was left unsaid. However, they quickly realized what Su Qi meant by the item she used! Wasn’t that the Hextech memento they left for her? With Su Qi’s explanation, Zijing and An Ning recalled their earlier questions, and suddenly, everything made perfect sense. Post its use, two bathroom trips in half an hour were understandable. Distraction and incoherence were explainable. The involuntary ‘wow’ made sense as well. With all issues resolved, Zijing and An Ning turned their eyes toward their lovable husband curled into a tiny ball. They exchanged a glance, finding the whole situation amusing, for who would have thought their husband would turn out to be this adorable!
