Trapped In Paradise 

Volume 1 Chapter 69: Another Bad Woman!

At eight-thirty that evening, Ning Chu heard familiar voices coming from the hallway outside.

He immediately got up from his chair, grabbed the two Band-Aids on his desk, and hurried toward the bathroom.

“Damn! That girl was seriously amazing!”

Before the dorm room door had even opened, Zhang Shaoqing’s voice was already carrying into the room. Ning Chu had one hand on the balcony door handle, but silently withdrew it.

“She was alright.”

“Just alright? Then why did you add her as a friend?”

Ning Chu pursed his lips and sat back down.

Did you guys really go play basketball, or did you go to the red-light district?

“Come on, we just had fun playing, so I added her while I was at it... Just don’t tell Ning Chu.”

“Why do you sound like you’re cheating? What are you being so guilty about?”

“...”

After a brief silence, Zhang Shaoqing kicked open the dorm room door and rushed toward the balcony.

“I’m showering first! Nobody steal it from me!”

Wen Yang, equally drenched in sweat, had no choice but to drag a chair in front of the air conditioner and sit down exhaustedly.

However, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ning Chu’s back.

It wasn’t cheating, of course. But perhaps Ning Chu had kept such a close eye on him for so long that whenever he interacted with a girl, Ning Chu was the first person he thought of—and he immediately felt guilty.

More importantly, he had genuinely had a few thoughts about that energetic, athletic girl. Her wheat-colored skin was exactly his type.

But as a man, being interested in a pretty girl was perfectly normal...

He glanced at Ning Chu again, only to meet Ning Chu’s completely expressionless gaze.

Instinctively, he looked away.

But Ning Chu stood up, picked up his chair, and expressionlessly carried it over to Wen Yang before sitting down beside him.

“...”

He was still wondering whether he might have misunderstood.

If they had merely played basketball and talked a little, then there was nothing wrong with that. What worried him most was whether there had been any close physical contact.

So he secretly wrinkled his nose and sniffed.

All he could smell was a faint scent of sweat, mixed with another difficult-to-describe but strangely pleasant scent that rushed straight through his nose and seemed to go directly to his head.

His face instantly turned red.

Ning Chu knew he wasn’t going to smell anything useful, so he glanced toward the sound of running water coming from the bathroom on the balcony.

“Oh, right. Remember when the academic advisor called me in for a private talk? He said your family circumstances aren’t very good, and that you could apply for financial assistance. He asked me to try convincing you.”

“My family circumstances...?”

The unexpected change of topic caught Wen Yang off guard.

After pausing for a moment, he answered, “They’re not that bad, I guess. I got into university, so relatives and friends helped out a little, and I also have student loans.”

“How much do you have for living expenses each month?”

“About... four or five hundred.”

Four or five hundred yuan a month sounded very little, but apparently it wasn’t enough to qualify as being officially impoverished.

These days, Wen Yang spends around twenty yuan a day on three meals. At night, he also earned extra money through gaming-related work and power-leveling. Between that income and his living expenses, life was tight, but manageable.

Not to mention there was a rich second-generation roommate who occasionally treated him to snacks, late-night food, or milk tea.

“I see... Then I guess you’re doing alright.”

Ning Chu nodded. Having completed the task the academic advisor had given him, he suddenly changed the subject.

“So, when you went out this time, which little vixen took an interest in you?”

Wen Yang frowned.

“We were just playing basketball together. Why are you talking about her like that?”

“...”

Well, well.

So now you’re actually talking back to me?!

He must have developed some improper thoughts about that little vixen!

Ning Chu was greatly surprised. After all his efforts at keeping Wen Yang in line, he had thought Wen Yang had completely lost interest in women.

Yet some random girl had managed to catch his attention!

It seemed Wen Yang had made quite a good impression of her.

Ning Chu’s expression immediately became much more serious.

Now was not the time to scold or interrogate him. First, he needed to understand the situation and determine whether this had triggered some new plotline.

“Playing basketball together, huh? That’s nice...”

Ning Chu lowered his head to hide his displeased expression and spoke casually.

“You’re usually pretty bored in the dorm anyway. Going out to play basketball is good for you. Especially when there’s a girl keeping you company~”

“Why do you sound so sarcastic...?”

Wen Yang tried to study his expression, but Ning Chu’s lowered hair blocked his view.

“Do you like her?”

The direct question made Wen Yang a little embarrassed.

“Well, not exactly.”

He gave an awkward smile and shook his head.

“I just have a bit of a favorable impression of her.”

“Hmm? What’s her name?”

“Shan Shan. She’s pretty good at basketball. I think she works part-time teaching basketball, and probably does some fitness stuff too…”

Sports and fitness! Basketball coach! Shan Shan!

Those three keywords immediately made Ning Chu recall the plot involving this matter.

His eyes widened uncontrollably, and he sharply inhaled, suddenly feeling that things had become rather troublesome.

“What’s wrong?”

“Uh…”

How was he supposed to put this? Should he just tell Wen Yang that she was a manipulative slut, and that her body count is in the three digits?

If Wen Yang were the hentai protagonist of the original novel, then things would probably play out just like in the original plot: they’d be attracted to each other physically, satisfy their desires, and then never see each other again.

But Wen Yang was now a complete virgin with absolutely no experience in relationships… He’d probably not only lose his virginity, but get emotionally deceived as well.

Ning Chu pressed his lips together, trying hard to figure out how to deal with this newly triggered plotline.

“Don’t overthink it. I just have a bit of a crush on her… I think she’s pretty nice, and unlike those other girls, she isn’t always clinging to me.”

“I agree that you should take responsibility when it comes to girls. I never dared accept any of the girls who chased after me, but this time… I feel like it’s different.”

It certainly was different! Completely different!

After all, at least a few of the previous ones were virgins!

They’d only played basketball together once, and he was already defending her!

A few more times, and they’d probably be getting a room together. No, wait—Wen Yang probably couldn’t afford a hotel room. More likely, they’d do it somewhere outdoors.

Ning Chu’s mouth twitched. In a joking tone, he asked, “Aren’t you afraid she might already have a boyfriend? Or several?”

“No way, right? She doesn’t look like that kind of person,” Wen Yang muttered, though he sounded a little uncertain. The main reason was that the two little points sticking out from Ning Chu’s chest had accidentally caught his attention.

Compared with Shan Shan’s large basketballs, the little ones in front of him seemed somewhat cuter.

How should he put it…

They certainly required less fabric.

But even if a boy had a bit of chest muscle, there was no need to wear a bra, right?

“You can’t judge a book by its cover! Don’t come crying to me after you get scammed.”

“Probably not… She didn’t ask me out to dinner, and she didn’t buy me drinks either. We just played basketball. How could I possibly get scammed from that…”

Scammed out of your heart, you idiot!

“And you haven’t even met her.”

Just then, Zhang Shaoqing finally finished showering and walked into the room, yawning.

Ning Chu immediately turned to him and asked, “Shaoqing! What do you think of that Shan Shan?”

“Huh? She’s pretty great.” Zhang Shaoqing thought about it for a moment. “Pretty big, pretty good at basketball, and pretty too. She’s the energetic, youthful type, I guess?”

Wen Yang nodded vigorously.

Good grief! Even Zhang Shaoqing had been bewitched!

Ning Chu glared angrily at Wen Yang, who was still nodding away, then got up and headed toward the bathroom.

Damn it! He should’ve gone with them and played basketball too!

He never should have given Wen Yang that so-called trust!

“I want to take a shower too.”

“Give me five minutes!”

As Ning Chu squeezed past Zhang Shaoqing, Zhang Shaoqing’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Holy shit! Your nipple’s showing!”

Ning Chu became even more annoyed. “Fuck off!”

“Why are you so fierce?” Zhang Shaoqing muttered, then turned to Wen Yang. “You went to play basketball with a girl, and he got jealous?”

“Uh… probably not?”
