Trapped in Paradise (In a Hentai World, as a Trap)

Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 81

Chapter 081: The Library

The school's library was located on the top floor of the teaching building, occupying the entire level due to its expansive size.

Since the start of the semester, this was Ning Chu's first visit to the library.

At the entrance, he used his student ID to register for a borrowing card. Curious, he looked around as he followed Wen Yang into the rows of towering bookshelves.

The library was another high-risk area for triggering plot events in a smutty novel…

Quiet, sparsely populated public places like this often appeared in hentai novels and anime labeled as "training" scenarios, with libraries being a frequent setting.

Ning Chu's own book had a similar scene: the protagonist and his current girlfriend, seeking thrills, brought a toy to the library and engaged in a shameful game.

However, Ning Chu wasn’t too worried about triggering a plot event in the library, since Wen Yang currently didn’t have a girlfriend.

This little virgin didn’t have the guts to do anything like that.

At lunchtime, the library was nearly empty, with only a few students scattered around.

"So many books..." Ning Chu instinctively lowered his voice upon entering the library, his eyes sweeping over the shelves as he muttered softly, "Aren't there any novels? It's all reference books."

"They might be in another section."

The two of them wandered aimlessly among the shelves. The library held a vast array of books, including not only various reference books but also novels, magazines, and even comics. Ning Chu even found some boys' love (BL) books and, surprisingly, some hentai manga.

Gotta admit, the production quality of these hentai books is top-notch~

But at this point, Ning Chu had completely lost interest in such things. Whether it was due to hormonal changes or the lack of progress with his "little bean," the once-lewd author of smutty novels was now practically a monk.

Over the past two months, he had only experienced two instances of discomfort from his body heating up, both of which he had quickly suppressed with rational thought.

Wen Yang browsed the shelves, eventually picking out a history book and standing there, absorbed in reading.

"I'm hungry... let's go eat..." Ning Chu was bored out of his mind, mumbling incessantly as he stood nearby. "Come on, what's so interesting about a history book?"

"I'm interested in this." Wen Yang looked up at him with a smile and suggested, "Why don't you head back first?"

"I'll stay."

"Don't worry, if any girls come to talk to me, I'll run away."

Men’s promises are never to be trusted!

Previously, Wen Yang had acted all obedient and honest, but the moment Ning Chu looked away, he almost lost his virginity while playing basketball! Even with Wen Yang’s reassurances, Ning Chu wasn’t about to foolishly leave.

He knew that men were easily swayed by the sight of a pretty girl.

So Ning Chu casually grabbed a history book himself, intending to see how the history of this smutty novel’s world differed from the one he had lived in before.

Ugh, this is giving me a headache… He barely got through the table of contents before putting the book back.

I could just look this stuff up online—why bother reading a book here?

Noticing how absorbed Wen Yang was in his book, Ning Chu sighed softly and slowly wandered over to the novel section.

Novels are more interesting anyway.

When Wen Yang had flipped through a few pages of his book and looked up, Ning Chu was nowhere to be found.

He placed the book back on the shelf and eyed another that caught his interest. As he reached out to grab it, another hand with long, slender fingers reached for the same book from the other side.

Wen Yang froze, surprised by the rom-com-like coincidence. He turned to see the owner of the hand—a tall girl with a cold expression, dressed in a snow-white dress.

That’s…

As class president, Wen Yang quickly recalled her name.

Lily, the only succubus in the class, known for her 36D figure and ice-cold demeanor.

Succubi were rare and supposedly all incredibly seductive. But Lily was different—she showed no interest in anyone, always keeping a stern face and pushing people away.

This stark contrast between rumors and reality made her extremely popular and widely discussed in the class, often compared to Wen Yang as the male and female icons of the class.

In a few more months, once they both made their mark in the school, they’d likely be hailed as the school’s top heartthrobs.

“Give it to me.” Lily stared at Wen Yang with her emotionless eyes. “I want to read it first.”

Her voice was as cold as her expression, devoid of any warmth.

“Here you go.”

Without hesitation, Wen Yang chose to step back, handing the book over and quickly turning to leave the shelves.

He had just promised Ning Chu last night that he wouldn’t interact with any girls. The last thing he wanted was to see Ning Chu hiding under the covers, crying like a heartbroken wife who just found out her husband had cheated.

After taking only a few steps away from the history section, Ning Chu came towards him, holding a fantasy novel.

“Did you pick something? Let’s go eat!”

The moment Wen Yang saw Ning Chu, his gaze began to dart around, as if even exchanging a few words with a girl was a crime. Trying to act natural, he looked towards the library’s checkout counter. “Sure, I’ll go check out my book first.”

“I found something to read too!” Ning Chu held up the novel. “The setting looks interesting, and the writing style is light and funny.”

What’s with that smug tone?

It’s like a kid showing off a new toy after seeing their friend get one.

Wen Yang couldn’t help but smile, nodding in agreement. “The title does sound interesting. Let me borrow it after you’re done.”

“Just don’t damage it. Does borrowing books cost anything?”

“Nope, but you can only borrow one at a time.” Wen Yang approached the counter, registering his information and completing the checkout process. He then suggested, “How about we come to the library this weekend? There are so many books here, it’d take years to finish them all.”

“Yeah… sure!”

Compared to going shopping, working part-time, or playing basketball—activities that required obvious social interaction—the library was almost free of social obligations.

Besides, flashy girls usually didn’t hang out in libraries, so Wen Yang was much safer here.

After borrowing the books and leaving the library, Ning Chu still felt a bit uneasy and scanned the area one last time. He then cautioned, “If we come to the library this weekend, we need to head back by six in the evening.”

“Huh? Why?”

Because I’m worried a little virgin like you might get drained by a female ghost! The protagonist in the story barely survived that encounter!

“Because… didn’t they say the teaching building is haunted at night?”

Wen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head. “Didn’t we check it out? It was just couples making noise, no ghosts at all.”

“I…” Realizing the truth wouldn’t be believed, Ning Chu came up with another excuse. “I’m afraid of the dark. The campus is pitch-black at night except for the library.”

This excuse matched his delicate, soft appearance so well that Wen Yang accepted it without question, even filling in the blanks himself. “No wonder you never want to go out at night.”

After one act of rebellion and almost getting tricked by a green tea girl, Wen Yang had clearly become much more obedient towards Ning Chu.

This made Ning Chu feel both relieved and worried.

It seems like Wen Yang’s affection for me isn’t going down at all!
