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

Chapter 444: Wang Zijin Aspires to Be More Excellent The gentle afternoon sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, leaving Su Qi momentarily dazed. After leaving room 507 in Su University's dormitory yesterday, she hadn’t basked in sunlight for over 30 hours. The curtains in the "Euphoria Realm" were indeed excessively thick. Now that she had replaced them with lighter ones, she found the adjustment somewhat challenging. Naturally, Su Qi and Wang Zijin didn’t change the curtains without reason. They weren't in the Euphoria Realm at the moment but had returned to Su Qi's familiar little nest in room 1507. Looking at the neatly managed room by her wife Wang Yun, Su Qi sighed with relief. It's fortunate that Sister Wang Yun is her wife now; otherwise, the monthly rent during her absence would have been wasted. Although Su Qi has now made considerable money, her inherent frugality remains deeply ingrained, rooted in the fear of poverty from her past! After spending the morning calibrating her little assistant, her physical stamina was restored to a level of 60 through the Jade Seal’s nourishment. Although her waist was still quite sore, her mental state had significantly improved. Initially, Su Qi planned to return to the dormitory, especially since her roommate Gu Panpan was there. Though with outsiders present, her wives wouldn’t be too overboard. But upon calling Gu Panpan, she received a message advising her not to return as she had become quite famous. This left Su Qi astounded, and she quickly picked up her phone to check the news. To prevent the system administrator and group mates from picking up bad habits, Su Qi didn’t have any standard chat apps installed on her phone, and she had even uninstalled QQ. If she had opened her QQ messages, she would have discovered an astonishing 999+ messages. Having experienced malicious publicity from Wang Dazhu before, Su Qi immediately checked Douyin for short videos. Among ten short clips, two were about the game Genshin Impact, three on tourism, and the rest were about her statements being titled ‘Stock God and Prophecy Emperor.’ This reminded Su Qi of the fear of stepping outside due to her sudden internet fame. Navigating through the content, Su Qi found the cause: a blackboard segment from a special interview in the mini variety show "An Ya Talks Heart-to-Heart" had captured the attention of netizens. Finding it remarkable that someone had recorded something she had forgotten, she was impressed by the internet's prowess. Wang Zijin, the student council president of Su University, was aware of the whole affair as the university forum crashed yesterday. Watching her adorable little maid in shock, she felt a radiant smile creep onto her lips, and leaning closer mischievously remarked, "Dear, you’ve become quite famous lately, so don't go out! We'll take good care of you!" Upon hearing this, Su Qi shivered, knowing full well that her wives’ care wouldn't be serious. Due to her sudden online fame, her plan with Wang Zijin to have spicy hot pot soup near Lucheng community for lunch was canceled. However, she was treated to Wang Zijin's remarkable culinary skills instead. While enjoying a crisp and delicious dish of stir-fried bok choy with meat, Su Qi reminisced about the first time Wang Zijin cooked for her, which was also in this small room 1507. Back then, she had pretended to be a boy to her and An Ning, which she now found amusing. Watching Su Qi savor her cooking, Wang Zijin felt sweet inside, recalling her mother's words about the joy of watching someone you love eat your food. Yet, she was troubled by how to break it to her parents. It used to be just her loving Su Qi, but now her sister was involved too, which might provoke their father Wang Yifu’s wrath. Glancing at Su Qi's frail, delicate physique, Wang Zijin thought it best not to dwell on specifics for the sake of her beloved's safety and decided to suppress the matter for the time being. Su Qi, unaware of Wang Zijin’s thoughts, was engrossed in her meal. Working at the "Compass" had led her to dine out constantly. Though the taste was good, she preferred Wang Zijin's homemade dishes, finding comfort in the warm, comforting atmosphere. After the meal, despite her fatigue, Su Qi took on the task of washing dishes, seeing how her wife had cooked and cleaned the vegetables. It took her ten minutes to finish cleaning two plates, two bowls, and one pair of chopsticks. Reflecting on the clean dishes, she felt a sense of accomplishment until she realized she hadn’t washed the pot! Once everything was in order, Su Qi returned to the cozy familiarity of the sofa and opened her laptop, launching the familiar stock trading software. Before the stock market's closure for National Day, her total assets had reached over 62.4 million yuan. The system manager mentioned that the systems’ quarterly exchange and financial reporting would occur around October 20th, meaning she had to successfully win the Jade Seal from the 'Lucky Roulette' by then. Today was the 2nd; she had 18 days until the 20th. However, this wasn’t an ordinary month. October included the stock market’s break from the 1st to the 7th, plus two weekends. To withdraw funds to her account, she needed to apply a day in advance, leaving her only seven effective days. Not wanting any last-minute mishaps, Su Qi quickly immersed herself back into the intricate web of the stock market. Wang Zijin, embracing her dear, watched as Su Qi delved once more into the sea of characters and information, her small face serious and concentrated. Wang Zijin found it fascinating, recalling that her husband had once vowed to support both her and their friends financially. Neither she nor An Ning had taken it seriously, yet now, with Su Qi's earnings, she felt both warmth and pressure. Given Su Qi’s accomplishments, Wang Zijin realized love required growth side by side. If she remained stagnant, their distance would widen, sparking fewer shared topics, increasing barriers. The thought of such an outcome made her shudder and resolute to improve alongside her beloved. (Mid-Year Blessings—Wishing everyone a year of even greater excellence!)
