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

Chapter 445: Lin Xiang Dong's Schemes October 3rd, a clear day, marking the third day of the National Day holiday. As Su Qi slowly awoke, she instinctively glanced at the wall clock, realizing it was already 11 AM. Perhaps due to her regaining consciousness, her stomach chimed in with a growl. Su Qi instinctively patted her flat, smooth belly for comfort. She soon discovered that, compared to the discomfort in her stomach, the soreness in her waist was far more pronounced. Adhering to her habit, Su Qi placed a pillow behind her waist, which significantly eased her discomfort. Seeing her stamina level had risen to 75 last night but had now dropped to 51, Su Qi felt almost like crying. Everything had been going so smoothly the night before. With Wang Zijin and Wang Yun preparing the meal, and with Xiao Xiao and her watching TV — all while her wife, Anning, was busy with company documents — everything was perfect! But during the meal, an unexpected call came from Miao. Originally, Su Qi hadn't intended to answer, planning to return the call discreetly after dinner. Unexpectedly, her petite wife had already fetched the phone for her, and her considerate Anning even put the call on speaker. The call from Miao was no concern, carrying the tone of a sister looking out for her younger sibling. After all, the situation involving Lin Zi, the lawyer, had already escalated to court and was even making headlines, making it hard not to notice. The concern was legitimate, and Su Qi's wives hadn't paid much heed to it. But, before hanging up, Miao mentioned her worry due to Su Qi's two encounters with harassment, "Little Qi, once I return to Su City, I'll teach you some self-defense techniques, just to be safer!" After hanging up, Su Qi noticed that her wives' previously gentle eyes had turned more intense, with a predatory gleam. So post-meal, Su Qi underwent a session of 'Women's Self-Defense' training initiated by her wives. But during the demonstration, she stumbled upon an embarrassing revelation—that her excessive sweating was indeed sweet. Recalling her bath last night, with the sounds of "slurp, slurp," Su Qi felt both her waist and knees aching and her cheeks burning with embarrassment. As her stomach growled again from its lengthy fast, it conveniently shifted Su Qi's focus from last night's embarrassing scene back to reality. Spotting the meal her wives left for her on the table, Su Qi decided that fulfilling her hunger was of utmost importance. Since all four wives weren't around, and given the fluffy carpet on the floor, Su Qi chose the safest mode of movement. Her two fair and delicate hands smoothed over the blue plush carpet like a cat. Her legs, smooth as jade, were fully exposed, seemingly beckoning to be touched. Her delicate feet, resembling glass sculptures, lightly dangled as she crawled, accompanying the movement of her knees and hands. Her toes, akin to full pink beans, shimmered, looking temptingly juicy. As she moved, her silk nightwear swayed slightly, emphasizing her curves and the weight she jostled with each step, leading Su Qi to truly understand why girls need bras—those jostling battles come with their own tiny aches. The short distance to the small stool took Su Qi a whole minute to traverse; her hands braced her weight as she sat down, feeling her thighs tremble. Determined, Su Qi resolved that tonight she would simply sleep. Though being pampered by her wives was pleasant, she couldn't indulge too deeply in carnal desires. On the table in the 'Paradise' there were two insulated lunchboxes filled with meals presumably prepared by either her wife Zijin or Wang Yun. Thanks to the high-quality material of the lunchboxes, despite the time, the food was still somewhat warm. Famished, Su Qi found the meal surprisingly delicious and didn't even notice the grains of rice clinging to her cheeks due to her hurried eating. After lunch, Su Qi intended to change her clothes and retreat to her small apartment, room 1507. After all, the memories in this 'Paradise' always made her blush and her heart race. Just then, the phone beside the bed began to ring. Su Qi had to crawl back to the bed and was momentarily taken aback upon seeing the caller ID. It was the Demon Headmaster of Su University calling! Realizing she hadn't attended a single class since the semester began, Su Qi felt a fleeting moment of guilt. But she quickly regained her composure, having already taken leave with her advisor, Wu Liang. After a few deep breaths, Su Qi answered the phone. Lin Xiang Dong, the headmaster of Su University, was in high spirits lately. Su Qi, as a student of Su University, was now hailed as a stock market genius, unintentionally proving to be the best promotion for the institution. Recently, Lin Xiang Dong had been browsing Su University's popular forum, the most active he'd ever seen since he assumed the headmaster role. Countless users were begging to attend Su Qi's stock trading lectures. These posts sparked a different line of thought in Lin Xiang Dong. Ever since watching Su Qi's live stream from Said International High School over the summer, Lin Xiang Dong had been keen to 'bind' her to Su University. Su Qi's undeniable talents—developing her own game, excelling in high school courses, and now showcasing a talent for the stock market—only strengthened Lin Xiang Dong's desire to keep her at Su University.
