397 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 397: Can I Be the Little Wife? (Part 5) In the dormitory of room 507, the atmosphere was silently tense. "Xiaoxiao, don't you dare lie. I absolutely despise liars!" An Ning spoke softly as she gently caressed Xiao Xiaoxiao's cheek. Xiao Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then timidly raised her head to glance at An Ning and Wang Zijin before lowering it again. "I'm just afraid that after I tell you, you both will hate me," she mumbled, her voice soft and almost childlike, her pouty lips giving her a doll-like appearance. Su Qi, who was sitting beside the little girl, noticed the tears welling up in Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes. She seemed on the verge of tears, looking quite pitiful. Although Su Qi had now fully embraced her identity as a woman, the ingrained sense of responsibility from her past as a man still lingered. Seeing how fragile Xiao Xiaoxiao appeared, Su Qi was silent for a moment before speaking to her two wives, "An Ning, Zijin, this is entirely my fault. I couldn't resist doing something." Upon hearing her Su sister's words, Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her small head vigorously and then turned to An Ning and Wang Zijin, saying, "No, An Ning, Zijin, it was I who first seduced Su sister!" An Ning and Wang Zijin exchanged glances, inexplicably feeling like villains tearing apart a pair of star-crossed lovers. However, regarding the conflicting statements, both Wang Zijin and An Ning leaned more towards believing their spouse. After all, the timid Xiao Xiaoxiao being the initiator seemed highly improbable. In their hearts, they had started labeling their spouse as a loli-con. Watching Xiao Xiaoxiao sniffle, Wang Zijin gently took a couple of tissues from her desk to wipe away the tears from Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes, then asked softly, "Why don't you tell us how it all happened?" Xiao Xiaoxiao, seeing the gentleness still present in Wang Zijin's demeanor, felt even more guilty and started sobbing, "Zijin, An Ning, I... I didn't know that Su was involved with you both. I unknowingly became the wicked girl, interrupting..." Her words, though somewhat disjointed, conveyed her intentions—the attempt to understand why she was a 'bad girl.' Realizing their spouse had concealed their relationship with Xiao Xiaoxiao made An Ning and Wang Zijin feel their partner had gone too far. Wang Zijin patted Xiao Xiaoxiao's head gently, asking with a soft expression, "Xiaoxiao, when did your relationship with Su begin, and how far has it developed?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned by the question before glancing silently at her beloved Su sister, knowing that this was a secret shared between them. An Ning, noting Xiao Xiaoxiao’s hesitation, quietly pinched her spouse's side and, with a commanding tone, warned, "You know what to do, right?" Feeling her wife's pinch and hearing her words, Su Qi realized there was no way to keep it a secret. Reluctantly, she nodded at Xiao Xiaoxiao. And so, in room 507, Xiao Xiaoxiao began haltingly narrating the story. Despite her decent grades in the language, Xiao Xiaoxiao's storytelling was ordinary. However, An Ning and Wang Zijin could still discern from her words the admiration and adoration she held for their spouse. Xiao Xiaoxiao was quite honest, expressing her emotions clearly. Su Qi was surprised to learn that Xiao Xiaoxiao would secretly give her a morning kiss every day before the parents’ meeting concluded—a fact she was previously unaware of. The pivotal moment of the story arrived when Xiao Xiaoxiao detailed their encounter the night of the parents’ meeting. An Ning and Wang Zijin were taken aback by the methodical approach Xiao Xiaoxiao had taken in pursuing their spouse. To their shock, the keepsake they had left their spouse had become the catalyst for the little girl's actions. As Xiao Xiaoxiao continued, "But, Su later regained her strength and..." her face turned as red as an apple. An Ning and Wang Zijin both thought of one term—"bait and switch." They were astounded at their spouse's ability to charm and control this poor little girl to the extent that she still mistakenly believed she had been the instigator. Xiao Xiaoxiao then described post-high school graduation, where she would actively seek out Su Qi, even involving stories of King Zhou and Daji—presumably paid content. Wang Zijin and An Ning exchanged a cold glance at their spouse, recalling how frequently they had cautioned them during holidays to refrain from meeting. Despite their admonitions, their spouse had turned into a real-life Pinocchio. Sensing her wives' murderous gazes and perhaps spurred by a hint of fear or the water she had just drunk, Su Qi felt a peculiar pang in her lower abdomen and instinctively pressed her knees closer together for a sense of security. Eventually, the narrative reached the incident in the wardrobe. An Ning and Wang Zijin thought the story would end with the confession of a stolen kiss, but Xiao Xiaoxiao timidly confessed to them, "An Ning, Zijin, when I found out about your relationship with Su, for a brief moment, I was happy." Her words left An Ning and Wang Zijin baffled. Logically, shouldn't discovering your crush's involvement with others be disheartening? With a timid expression, Xiao Xiaoxiao explained further, "The books I read said relationships between girls were wrong. But seeing Su with you two, I—I realized the books were wrong. My feelings for Su were normal." Her declaration left both Wang Zijin and An Ning momentarily stunned—had they inadvertently led her astray? But before they could correct her, Xiao Xiaoxiao resolutely continued, "And those books also said loving someone should be 'exclusive,' but since Su has both of you, the books must be wrong. They must be pirated!" Overwhelmed by Xiao Xiaoxiao's reasoning, An Ning and Wang Zijin were at a loss for words. As they remained silent, Xiao Xiaoxiao, thinking for a moment, blinked her bright eyes and softly asked, "An Ning, Zijin, I really like Su. I want to join you. I'll listen to you both. So, can I be Su's little wife?"
