ALL NOVEL Chapter 42
Chapter 42: False Alarm
Oh no! This is bad!
In the bathroom, our male lead, a wrong turn…
This isn’t the dorm, and he hasn’t transformed into a woman yet. Could this be the start of the plot?!
Just thinking about the scenes from the story makes Ning Chu’s face turn pale.
Even if he fights for his life, with Wen Yang’s frame, one hand is probably enough to pin him down.
If this really goes according to the plot, he might as well get a card from the proctology clinic…
Panicking, he stood up from the bathtub, not even having time to dry off, and hurriedly tried to put on his clothes. But as he stepped out of the tub, his foot landed on the wet, smooth tiled floor, slip—he lost his balance.
“Ah!”
He instinctively let out a scream, landing awkwardly on the bathtub, his thigh hitting the edge hard, leaving a bruise. He gasped and sucked in air, yet he could hear Wen Yang’s anxious voice from outside.
“What happened?”
That tall figure appeared by the door, and through the glass, Ning Chu caught a clear outline of his body.
Thank goodness the glass was fogged up; otherwise, he would’ve been completely exposed…
He looked down at his wet self and quickly retreated back into the tub, sitting cross-legged and rubbing his painful thigh, peeking out just his head, on high alert for any sudden intrusions.
“I’m fine! Just taking a shower! I accidentally bumped into something!”
“Don’t come in! I’ll be out in a moment!”
It seemed like spending the night in a hotel was off the table!
Ning Chu started contemplating net cafes, 24-hour burger joints, or convenience stores.
Outside, Wen Yang still seemed a bit dazed, yawning as he peered through the glass door, catching a glimpse of Ning Chu’s little head. He replied and didn’t rush in like a typical drama hero but turned and slumped back onto the bed.
But that slim figure lingered in his mind.
Ning Chu’s figure…
Normally hidden beneath loose clothing, the steamy glass door highlighted Ning Chu’s silhouette—thin waist, perky backside, and aside from being flat as a board, he practically looked like a developing girl.
In the midst of the fog, he could only see a white figure, but that hazy appearance provided a different sort of visual stimulation, stirring his curiosity.
How could a man have that kind of figure?
Sitting at the edge of the bed, Wen Yang scratched his head, his drunken brain struggling to piece together the reasons.
Then the door swung open.
He immediately tossed aside his curiosity and hurried into the bathroom without even glancing at Ning Chu.
“……”
Ning Chu’s heart raced; he was prepared to bolt the moment the door opened, but to his surprise, Wen Yang just rushed to use the toilet.
He looked back at Wen Yang, feeling somewhat relieved.
Phew, this guy probably isn’t interested in him.
Not even a shot fired.
“Didn’t trigger the plot, huh…” Ning Chu muttered as he opened the door, stepping outside with a bit of hope.
Running away wasn’t the best option; even if the dorm was dangerous, he was still a man. Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing hadn’t fully transformed into their roles yet, so it was somewhat safe.
But if he ran, who knows what surprises this world could throw at him?
It was all his fault for being a shameless LSP in the first place. The story had tentacles and ghostly monsters, and thankfully his tastes weren’t too extreme; imagine if he were into animals—he wouldn’t even be able to trust a dog…
And these people seemed proper on the surface, but couples would rather go wild than book a room; the other perverts surely weren’t few in number.
“What happened just now? Why didn’t you let me in?” Wen Yang yawned, stepping out of the bathroom.
“I was showering! Didn’t you see the bathroom door was glass?!”
His curiosity had him examining Ning Chu from head to toe. In his rush, Ning Chu still bore some droplets of water on his skin, his beautiful face slightly flushed, but those pretty eyes were filled with caution, like a little wildcat ready to pounce.
“Are you kidding? We’re all guys; what’s the big deal if I see you?” Wen Yang shook his head in resignation. “Does it really look like I’d treat you like a pervert?”
“……”
Without hearing Ning Chu’s explanation, Wen Yang glanced at the half-open door and Ning Chu’s foot that was already outside: “Out to grab something to eat? Bring me a bottle of cola.”
With that, he plopped onto the bed, and within moments, he was dozing off again.
At that moment, Ning Chu slowly pulled back his foot that was about to step out the door.
Looks like, maybe it’s safe?
Just scaring himself the whole time.
The book never mentioned Wen Yang being into cross-dressers. Besides, he had way better options—so many beautiful girls would line up to throw themselves at him; Ning Chu didn’t stand a chance.
Plus, Wen Yang was still a little virgin under his guidance…
Ning Chu imagined a clueless virgin Wen Yang barging into the bathroom and stumbling upon a bathing girl; he’d likely bolt in panic!
“Thank goodness…”
“Why is it so noisy over there?”
Suddenly, the door opposite flung open, and Zhang Shaoqing peeked out, locking eyes with Ning Chu, grinning like a Cheshire cat: “Did Wen Yang drunkenly—uh—get you over there?”
“Get lost!”
“You’re in a room I booked and still acting tough.”
As if I wanted to stay here!
“Hey, let’s go for a massage tomorrow, I already made a reservation…”
Ning Chu slammed the door shut with a bang, slumping onto the rattan chair, staring blankly at Wen Yang on the bed, his mind a jumbled mess.
The drunken haze and the bit of smutty ideas had faded away in the soaking bath, he tiredly rubbed his temples, unable to shake off the feeling of unease.
Luckily, this double room had a computer as well.
Though the specs were probably terrible, watching videos and reading articles should help kill some time.
“Alright, a night up.”
Ning Chu pushed the chair over to the computer, pressed the power button, resting his chin on his hands as he waited for the agonizingly slow boot-up.
“Better be able to head back tomorrow, even if Shaoqing doesn’t want to leave, we’re gone.”
“That guy actually wants to take us for a massage! Is that even a place for proper college students?!”
Besides, massage parlors, both in novels and in reality, were disaster zones!
“Ning Chu, where’s my cola?”
“Don’t have it!”
“Ugh, head’s pounding…” Wen Yang rolled over on the bed.
Ning Chu didn’t even turn back; the computer took a minute to start up, and as he opened the browser, he picked up some headphones, only to toss them aside in disgust.
They were filthy…
True, the computer wasn’t great, and even opening a webpage took several seconds. Soon, the homepage displayed a collection of tabs.
“Um… Horror movies, action films, the regulation here isn’t great, huh?”
Suddenly, there was some movement at the door, and Ning Chu curiously looked over to see a small card being slid under the door.
He grabbed the card, glancing at the words like “Female College Student,” “Bunny Girl,” and “Succubus,” his mouth twitching.
They say it’s all a scam!

No way this goes so smoothly…
