ALL NOVEL 54. Everything Going Smoothly
This morning, Su Qi felt everything was going smoothly.
The weakness from the electric shock last night had disappeared. Su Qi even specifically checked her stamina value and was surprised to find the stamina bar was full at 100 points!
Su Qi had already prepared herself to be sore and aching all day, but unexpectedly recovered today.
Indeed, the difference between male and female bodies was not the same. No wonder it’s said an ox can be worked to death but land can’t be farmed barren.
Looking at the jade seal on the ground, Su Qi’s smile became even brighter, like a blooming peony flower, pure and dazzling with an innate liveliness!
She never thought there would come a day when she could hit the jackpot!! Could it be that after transforming, her luck also changed? Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket later.
After removing the dust and dirt it left on the bedsheet last night, Su Qi took it to the bathroom.
Picking up a brush, she carefully brushed the jade seal until it was spotless.
After being wiped, the jade seal revealed its original appearance. The ink-green jade emitted a glow, very eye-catching. The only flaw was that a part of the lifelike dragon head was broken, slightly reducing its charm.
The carved characters on it also made Su Qi have to praise its calligraphy in today’s view!
Vigorous and magnificent, grand and spectacular. It’s said seeing words is like seeing the person. Looking at these characters, Su Qi could imagine how glorious Li Si was back then, Qin Shi Huang’s right-hand man. After pacifying the world, he became the prime minister second only to the emperor!
Su Qi felt she could never achieve that vigorous and grand feeling no matter what. Let’s not even mention that she was a girl now. Even when she was male before, she didn’t have that kind of ambition for power and no great aspirations!
She just wanted to be a commoner living happily every day, with nothing to do but play little H-games. When the time comes, find someone she likes and live a blissful life!
It’s just a pity that Li Si was ultimately framed by the eunuch Zhao Gao. The fall of a generation’s talent made people sigh with emotions.
Thinking about it this way, Su Qi put a hat of “this is how it should be” on her unambitious self!
I’m really a little genius.
Putting the jade seal on the coffee table, Su Qi felt the character of this coffee table instantly became a few points loftier.
It made a person like Su Qi who didn’t like drinking tea have the urge to drink tea. After searching for two minutes to no avail, she took out a box of yogurt from the fridge and downed it.
Then she remembered that the system still hadn’t given her a mission clue yesterday!
“System, system, you haven’t given me your mission clue yet!”
The system informed her that English teacher Old Lady Liu’s husband was hospitalized due to a car accident last year. It was Wang Zijin who relied on her identity as the dean’s daughter to ask a famous doctor for help!
In the end, the surgery was very successful without a side effects. Now her husband was like a new person. So Old Lady Liu always took care of Wang Zijin in class.
If she asked Wang Zijin for help to put in a good word, the mission success rate would exceed 80%!
“Why 80% and not 100%?” Su Qi frowned a bit.
“Who dares to guarantee 100% for everything? 80% probability is already very high. And let me remind the host, when communicating with Wang Zijin, be sure to mention that you’re cross-dressing. Otherwise, if Old Lady Liu doesn’t recognize you as her student, there’s a 10% chance the mission will fail!” The system advised.
Seeing the hour hand pointing to 9 o’clock, Su Qi felt a bit fortunate that she had exchanged phone numbers with Wang Zijin that day. They had been sending simple greetings these past two days, mostly good night and good morning. Although not very familiar, they definitely weren’t strangers.
Ahem, ahem.
Su Qi cleared her throat and dialed Wang Zijin’s number!
The ringtone was “Ai no Junrei”, a very pleasant song that made Su Qi relax a bit. You know, when she did part-time work as an original artist, she felt a bit unnatural even picking up calls from females, let alone taking the initiative to interact with women.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just these few dozen seconds made Su Qi have many thoughts.
Was she annoyed by her? It’s said when a girl doesn’t pick up a guy’s call, most likely she has no interest in him.
If Wang Zijin really didn’t like her, wouldn’t asking her be putting her in a difficult position?
Just as Su Qi was about to hang up, the other end finally picked up in a fluster.
“Hello…” Wang Zijin’s gentle voice came from the earphones.
“Is this Su Qi?”
Hearing Wang Zijin’s voice, Su Qi first subconsciously nodded, then remembered she was on the phone and said in a hoarse voice.
“Mm.”
Then there was a moment of silence.
Before calling, Su Qi felt it should be a very simple matter. But now she felt if she directly said she wanted Wang Zijin to help her with class issues, wouldn’t it seem too abrupt? It had a feeling of using and discarding.
And thinking of what TV shows depicted, before talking business one should chat a bit to improve the relationship. But as an otaku, if he knew so many social niceties, he couldn’t be considered a true otaku!
So there was silence.
However, compared to Su Qi, the socially adept campus belle Wang Zijin was much more at ease.
“Classmate Su Qi, could it be that you forgot to reply good night to me last night, so you’re specially calling me back this morning?” Wang Zijin teased Su Qi in a clear voice, making Su Qi’s tense body gradually relax a bit!
Su Qi felt she had a lot to say, but after saying “mm” out loud, she lost her train of thought.
In front of the girls’ dorm, An Ning had already climbed onto Wang Zijin’s bed at this time. Her long legs under her nightgown were like two glowing sticks in this dark dorm room, extremely eye-catching.
Right now, she was pointing at her phone, which read “Ask him out to eat, the day after tomorrow, birthday!”
Wang Zijin winked at her, signaling “put your heart at ease.”
“Then does classmate Su Qi have something you need my help with? Is it about the student union? I do know you haven’t been in the dorm recently!”
At this point, Wang Zijin had already shaken off the grogginess from sleep earlier and began a teasing offensive.
“Mm, I had some things recently so I haven’t been in the dorm. Plus, you know I rented an apartment outside, right? We even met a few days ago!”
“Right, I nearly forgot if you didn’t mention it! An Ning’s family also lives in Green City. It just so happens that it’s her birthday in a few days. How about having her treat the two of us to a meal? Last time you treated, this time she’ll treat, and I’ll freeload!”
After Wang Zijin said this, the An Ning beside her holding her phone wanted to hug and lift her bestie high. She didn’t expect her to really suggest the three of them have a candlelit dinner.
An Ning searched her own heart. If Su Qi called her, An Ning felt she had an 80% chance of choosing to secretly run away.
Eat out? Su Qi was a bit conflicted. From what An Ning said last time about some high-class hotel, it sounded very high-end. She was currently still supporting that jerk of a system and couldn’t even afford a pair of underpants.
If An Ning treated her, wouldn’t she have to treat them back? Su Qi had no intention of putting on a brave face to keep up appearances!
So she said, “No thanks, Classmate Zijin. You guys didn’t even eat much that day, and I, I don’t have money in my pocket to treat you back!”
Hearing Su Qi say this, both Wang Zijin and An Ning wanted to reach through the phone and smack money on his face! Moreover, that conflicted voice sounded too well-behaved!
“What’s there to eat your fill or not at a buffet? It’s just that much per person! She’s a rich boss with deep pockets. If we don’t fleece her for a meal, I’ll feel itchy!”
As Wang Zijin said this, she glanced at An Ning. The mature-looking An Ning was frantically nodding her head now, looking very much in agreement. It nearly made Wang Zijin unable to keep a straight face and burst out laughing.
This was the first time she encountered someone so happy to be fleeced!
“Still, I’d rather not, Classmate Zijin.” Su Qi continued refusing. He was afraid that after eating An Ning’s food, he would feel even more guilty towards her!
“Uh, how about this then? I haven’t gone to see you for several days anyway. The day after tomorrow, I’ll have her buy ingredients and the three of us will eat at your place, how’s that?
My sister’s tableware is still at your place. You don’t know, my sister used to have me be her chef on weekends. I’m quite skilled at cooking!”
Without giving Su Qi a chance to respond, Wang Zijin continued, “See when you’re free the day after tomorrow. 10am or 4pm?”
Uh, being thrown a multiple-choice question like this by Wang Zijin made Su Qi’s thoughts a bit chaotic. He originally wanted to refuse, but actually started pondering which time to choose.
This contained a little sales technique. Rather than letting the customer take the initiative to choose, it was better for the salesperson to provide a few options for the customer to pick from.
Just like Su Qi now, if Wang Zijin had said, see when you have time the day after tomorrow…
Su Qi’s thought process would be, what should I do at 10 o’clock? What should I do at 11 o’clock? After thinking it over, feeling it was quite troublesome, he would really let it go.
But after Wang Zijin gave Su Qi a choice, it was different. Su Qi would think, what exactly should I do at 10 o’clock? What should I do at 4pm?
The thought changed from whether I should go to whether I’m free or not!
After careful consideration, Su Qi really found he wasn’t free the day after tomorrow!
Because starting from today, she had to take photos and practice sword dancing. Su Qi didn’t like leaving everything that needed to be done to the last day. She preferred doing it a bit earlier, so it would be very relaxed at the end!
So she said, “Um, Classmate Zijin, I’m really not free the day after tomorrow. Can we do it the day after that?”
Actually, the day after was just an excuse. After all, how could a big event like a birthday be changed on a whim?
“Sure!” Wang Zijin blurted out! Because in front of her and An Ning, the birthday was indeed just an excuse! It could be changed at will!
“But isn’t the day after tomorrow Classmate An Ning’s birthday?” Su Qi was a bit puzzled.
“Birthday? Ah, that, I remembered wrong. It’s the day after the day after tomorrow. Hehe…” At this time, Wang Zijin was excitedly low-fiving An Ning!
Gu Panpan on the side rubbed her forehead. How come she suddenly had a feeling of watching a youthful boy walking down a road of no return?
Too bad she didn’t have the ability to resist these dark forces!
In the end, the time was set for 4pm the day after tomorrow. Su Qi didn’t expect Wang Zijin to even know she liked eating shrimp!
Of course, there were many things Su Qi didn’t know. For example, her information form was saved on Wang Zijin’s computer, with each item described quite clearly!
Before hanging up, Su Qi finally remembered her main business and said a bit embarrassedly, “Classmate Zijin, for the English class the day after tomorrow, I can only attend the second half. I made an appointment with the photography side before and can only rush back for the second half. Could you put in a few good words for me? If not, never mind!”
Wang Zijin, who had already obtained Su Qi’s agreement to eat out, was so elated that she seemed to have already imagined Su Qi’s begging appearance!
But she pretended to be serious and said, “Mm, okay, I’ll talk to Teacher Liu. It should be fine!”
“Um, I, I may have to go wearing female clothes at that time. Is that okay? Because there’s not enough time!”
Wang Zijin was worried that if she didn’t handle it well, it would cause the meal plan to fall through!
With a grand wave of her hand, “No problem. As long as you don’t wear the emperor’s new clothes, it’s fine. Leave it to me!”
After chatting a bit more, the two hung up! In the girls’ dorm room, the two campus belles were smiling happily!! Their eyes were full of the cunning light of a successful scheme!
Su Qi in Green City was also truly happy. Thinking that completing the mission would mean having underpants to wear, she couldn’t help but nearly laugh out loud!
The system, looking at the happy and clueless Su Qi, was also very happy at this time.
Following the host’s request not to look for males, this time it specially signed two beautiful girls for the host. This way, wouldn’t the host become the “female protagonist” even faster!
Hehehe, I wonder if I’ll be praised too…
