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

Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 86

Chapter 86: Right, Right, Right

The pain in Ning Chu’s lower abdomen was getting worse.

Yawning, he lay down on the desk, half-heartedly chatting with Han Jingye.

The pain made it impossible to concentrate on reading, but he didn’t want to leave. Luckily, Han Jingye seemed to have nothing better to do today and was surprisingly chatty, engaging in casual conversation.

It was the first time Ning Chu had encountered such a friendly counselor.

However, Wen Yang was beginning to have some opinions.

“Why are you always chatting with him?”

“I’m bored...”

Wen Yang frowned. Ning Chu didn’t bother to hide anything, so Wen Yang could clearly see the conversation on the screen. Although the chat seemed normal, Wen Yang couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Why is it that Ning Chu won’t let me talk to girls, but he’s having such a good time chatting with some guy?

What? Ning Chu’s a guy too? Never mind, then.

Wen Yang opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words he wanted to say, unable to do anything but watch as Ning Chu continued chatting.

A light fragrance wafted through the air, and Wen Yang instinctively looked up to see a girl in a long dress sitting at the table across from them.

She was someone he knew.

Unlike many girls who wore bold, revealing outfits, the succubus Lily was always dressed in a conservative, modest long dress that covered her from head to toe, leaving only her slender, fair arms exposed.

Given the succubus’ reputation for wild nights, the sight of this demure, soft-spoken succubus created a stark contrast that made her even more enticing...

Ning Chu noticed Lily’s arrival too. His brows furrowed, and his gaze locked onto her with the highest level of vigilance.

This succubus! She’s a plot character!

This was a public place, so it wasn’t possible to chase her away. Ning Chu quickly grabbed Wen Yang’s arm. “Let’s move.”

But when he looked around the reading area, he realized that all the nearby tables were already occupied.

Wen Yang could only give him a helpless look.

“Should we go back to the dorm?”

“Is that really necessary? You’re acting like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Ning Chu pursed his lips, glancing warily at the succubus again.

Unlike the other female characters, who were always eager to pounce on the protagonist, this succubus was more passive.

Not only was her personality passive, but her plotline with Wen Yang was too: the experienced protagonist becomes intrigued by the cold, aloof succubus who doesn’t seem interested in him. After a playful teasing session, he discovers her hidden battle lust, and through various creative means, he trains Lily to become a proper succubus.

But as for the current Wen Yang, he might be curious, but he probably didn’t have the guts to flirt with Lily.

The problem was, Ning Chu wasn’t trying to destroy the plot—he was trying not to trigger it at all.

“Let’s go!” He insisted, pulling Wen Yang to his feet. “We can go back and play games or borrow some books to read at the dorm.”

Wen Yang frowned, clearly displeased.

When Ning Chu noticed his reaction, it was almost as if he could hear a “favorability -10” notification in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

If he kept pushing Wen Yang like this, maybe their friendship would sink before it could turn into something more~

And by aggressively nipping potential plotlines in the bud, he could at least maintain his current gender for a bit longer!

He glanced back at Lily and noticed that the succubus was watching them with a rare look of curiosity.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace, dragging Wen Yang along.

Once they were out of the library, Ning Chu felt slightly more at ease. He turned back, embarrassed, and apologized, “Wen Yang, that was a succubus. I was just worried about...”

Even though he needed to lower Wen Yang’s affection toward him, he still had to strike a balance to avoid pushing Wen Yang away completely.

Wen Yang nodded, looking defeated.

Ning Chu cautiously studied his expression. “You’re not mad, are you? I was really just looking out for you!”

“A little.”

“...”

Ning Chu fell silent, but Wen Yang suddenly smiled warmly. He reached out and gently ruffled Ning Chu’s hair, chuckling. “I’m just messing with you.”

The warmth of Wen Yang’s hand on his head, stroking his hair and scalp, brought an unexpected sense of comfort. The irritation caused by his stomachache and the tension from encountering Lily slowly melted away, and his body seemed to relax without him realizing it.

“Doing that in front of her makes it look like she did something terrible, and it’s rude to act like that,” Wen Yang explained, watching as Ning Chu’s eyes closed contentedly, his head nudging against Wen Yang’s hand like a cat. “It’s not polite.”

So that’s why Wen Yang frowned earlier—not because he was upset about being controlled, but because of this?

“Have you had enough of that?”

Ning Chu snapped out of his peaceful daze, slapping Wen Yang’s hand away with an annoyed huff. “I get it! Next time, I’ll tell you secretly!”

“And stop touching my head! If I stay 1.6 meters tall forever, it’ll be your fault!!”

Plus, a man’s pride doesn’t allow him to enjoy being petted by others! It’s too weird!

Even his parents weren’t allowed to do that!

He stomped off toward the dormitory, grumbling to himself.

He thought Wen Yang’s affection for him had finally started to drop, but it turned out he was happy for nothing!

Wen Yang followed leisurely behind Ning Chu, occasionally glancing down at the wrist Ning Chu had grabbed several times today. The smile in his eyes deepened.

Over the past week, Ning Chu had been sticking to him more and more.

He had initially worried that he was imagining things, but now it was obvious.

Ning Chu really liked him!

Just look at how he reacted earlier!

The increasingly strict rules about not interacting with other girls over the past week were further proof that Ning Chu’s feelings for him were growing stronger.

So when would Ning Chu finally admit his true gender?

Wen Yang’s eyes drifted to Ning Chu’s hips, watching the slight sway as he walked. He tried to spot any signs of a sanitary pad through his pants.

But there was nothing to see.

He might really have to go through Ning Chu’s wardrobe or drawers, but that kind of behavior was borderline creepy, and Ning Chu would likely hate him for it.

“Wen Yang,” Ning Chu suddenly turned around, looking worried. “You’re not interested in Lily, are you?”

“Her? She’s got issues too?”

Actually, she didn’t!

Although Lily had a tendency to get addicted to fighting due to her nature, according to the novel’s setting, this succubus was not only a cold, expressionless woman but also pure and innocent.

“No, I was just asking.” Ning Chu tried to cover up. “It’s just that she’s a succubus, and if you like her, you might end up with a lot of heartbreak.”

“After all, you know the reputation of succubi... Remember the club president who hosted that party at the villa? She was a succubus too, right?”

Wen Yang nodded. “No interest, don’t worry.”

“Whether you get tricked or not is your business, not mine.”

“Right, right, right.”
