Trapped in Paradise

Chapter 004: Every Guy Would Choose This!

Dragging two drunk guys, the four of them finally made it back to the dormitory.

Ning Chu had lost the lively energy he had outside, sitting in front of the computer with a serious face, clicking around aimlessly for quite a while without saying a word.

All signs indicated that in this world, he was playing the role of the girl hiding in the boy’s dormitory. If the plot of the novel continued, he was destined to be consumed by the main character and the villain.

But he’s a man…

Without a system, a witch, or a black cat, and with no issues of gender identity, how could he suddenly transform into a girl just before the plot kicks off?

This world might have cat girls and succubi, but most magical elements were used for—cough—’other purposes’!

Ning Chu fell into contemplation, while Wen Yang, having settled the two drunken friends, looked concerned at the delicate figure in front of the computer.

Why did Ning Chu suddenly switch to a sulky face on the way back and then start zoning out in the dorm?

Wen Yang scratched his head, wondering if he accidentally triggered Ning Chu’s fragile heart.

But he only asked about Ning Chu’s shower gel brand!

Could it really be something other than shower gel smell?

His gaze swept over Ning Chu from head to toe.

“Why are you staring at me?” Ning Chu suddenly lifted his head, looking less than friendly.

“I was just noticing you seemed a bit down…”

“Nah, just a little something on my mind.”

“Care to share? Maybe I can help?”

His eyes brightened, slightly tempted, but after a moment of hesitation, he lowered his head and gently shook it in rejection, “Forget it.”

Ning Chu almost spilled the entire plot from the novel.

But then he realized that his current advantage in this world was knowing the plot, and if he shared it with Wen Yang, the subsequent developments would be completely unpredictable.

Who knows if Wen Yang would go wild with happiness once he knew the plot?

Right now, he could still prepare for the future events and try to avoid the fate of becoming a girl and being taken advantage of.

Wen Yang didn’t think much of Ning Chu’s rejection; after all, they had only known each other as roommates for two weeks.

He stretched lazily and yawned, reminding, “Military training starts tomorrow, let’s sleep early.”

“Okay.”

A glance at Ning Chu’s distracted expression told him his words clearly went unheard.

Wen Yang walked over to the wardrobe, pulled out a pair of big shorts as sleepwear, and was just about to head to the bathroom when a soft knock on the door interrupted.

He casually opened the door, but suddenly went blank.

“Ling… Ling Ling? What are you doing here?”

“I came to take you out to play~” A girl with a pair of cat ears darted into the room as soon as the door opened, hugging Wen Yang’s arm, “Let’s go, let’s go~ Didn’t your dorm dinner end?”

“But how did you get up here?”

“Climbed over the wall!” The girl raised her head proudly, her cat ears swaying cutely.

Wen Yang looked troubled; he had to get up early for military training tomorrow, but here was his girlfriend inviting him out. Just as he was being pulled out the door, he suddenly heard a shout from inside.

“Wen Yang, didn’t we agree to duo queue tonight?”

Turning back, he saw Ning Chu wearing a blissful smile: “I’ve never played before, I’m still a newbie, you have to help me out.”

His heart tightened. He thought the first chapter’s plot was finished, but now this girl named Ling Ling was knocking on their door!

Well, originally, the plot had this girl actively pushing for Wen Yang, so she was the bold type…

And she’s a cat girl! Why isn’t the male lead me! So jealous!

“Huh?” But Wen Yang, confused, looked at him, “Did we agree to duo queue?”

“We did!”

Ning Chu’s eyes anxiously searched Wen Yang’s face, trying to gauge whether this guy valued the game or the cat girl more.

Clearly the latter! After all, she’s a cat girl!

Wen Yang shifted his gaze to the cat girl Ling Ling, noticing those lovely swaying cat ears and her watery pleading eyes. He could still faintly feel Ling Ling’s soft curves on his arm…

On the other hand, his introverted roommate wanted to duo queue for games with him.

Every man knows which one to choose!

“How about next time?”

Wen Yang’s choice left both Ning Chu and Ling Ling stunned.

After a moment, Ling Ling pouted, her cat ears drooping: “Why like this~”

“Tomorrow’s military training, going out now would be too late.”

“And my roommate has two drunks to deal with; look, they’re still lying on the floor. What will happen if I leave?”

Ling Ling glanced at the ground and suddenly perked up: “Hey! Shao Qing is in your dorm? Why’s he so drunk?”

“You know him?”

“Grew up together!”

Seeing Zhang Shaoqing drunk, Ling Ling became a lot more talkative, dragging Wen Yang along, reminding him, “How could you let Shao Qing lie on the floor? He should sleep in bed…”

Watching this couple chat and walk out of the dormitory, Ning Chu’s mouth twitched, nearly bursting into laughter.

Thank goodness, Wen Yang wasn’t yet the scumbag main character who accepts every girl’s advances instead of choosing games.

Amazing~

Ning Chu thought if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to resist such temptation.

Now, the childhood sweetheart Zhang Shaoqing wouldn’t turn into a villain because of Ling Ling’s carelessness, and Wen Yang wouldn’t transform into a scumbag after experiencing the delights of girls.

Perfect!

About ten minutes later, Wen Yang walked back in, shaking his head and sighing, “Women are really troublesome.”

“That’s so nice~”

Ning Chu’s tone was filled with envy and jealousy.

He wanted to find a cat girl as a girlfriend someday~

“What’s nice about it? We’ve just known each other for two days.” Wen Yang mumbled as he sat at the computer, “We’ve only held hands; suddenly she’s so forward, it freaks me out.”

He glanced at the drunk Zhang Shaoqing on the floor, confused: “What an odd coincidence—Zhang Shaoqing actually grew up with Ling Ling?”

“Yeah, what a coincidence.”

Ning Chu responded flatly.

If it weren’t for Zhang Shaoqing and Ling Ling being childhood sweethearts, and worrying that Ling Ling’s carelessness would lead to Zhang Shaoqing turning into a villain, Ning Chu wouldn’t have been so adamant about preventing the plot from unfolding.

He needed to remember that the role he was playing not only had a close relationship with the main character but also with the villain.

Feeling a bit uneasy, he added, “I think you should avoid mentioning Ling Ling to Zhang Shaoqing? After all, they’re childhood sweethearts…”

If Zhang Shaoqing found out the girl he liked was trying to push Wen Yang forward, it might also trigger him.

“Okay, I’ll take a shower first and then we can duo queue.”

Ning Chu’s expression froze, his gaze drifting to the game icon on the desktop, revealing a look of confusion and difficulty.

Here’s the dilemma: he had never played the games in this world before.

The opening is a choice that leads to death or marriage.

“Congratulations! You have triggered the life choice system!”
