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

Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 92

Chapter 92: But You’re the Protagonist!

Wen Yang, the model student, skipped class.

He brought Ning Chu and the wolf-girl to a secluded corner on the second floor of the cafeteria.

Wen Yang’s expression was serious, his brow furrowed in disbelief. The wolf-girl kept her eyes downcast, looking dejected, while Ning Chu lay face-down on the table, his eyes vacant and lifeless.

How did this suddenly turn into a plot event?

He had been so cautious around the succubus Lily, afraid that Wen Yang might talk to her. He had also noticed the counselor’s odd behavior and worried that he might become a victim in the story.

Everything should have gone smoothly! So why did this wolf-girl suddenly drag him into the plot?

In the book, the counselor used a scholarship as leverage to coerce a girl, but it was only a month and a half into the semester—where was this scholarship coming from?

And the book never mentioned that the victimized girl had any animal-like traits!

Ning Chu felt like crying, torn between going along with the plot and dragging Wen Yang out of it to avoid getting involved.

She was just an unfamiliar background character...

But looking at the pitiful state of the wolf-girl, he couldn’t bring himself to make that decision.

If Han Jingye, that scumbag, succeeded, this girl’s life could be ruined.

Now, he could only hope that whatever transformation might occur wouldn’t turn him into a full-fledged girl this time.

"Vice class monitor~ What’s your name again~?" Ning Chu asked weakly. "I don’t even know you..."

"Yan Xinya."

Compared to the generic names often given to female side characters in cheesy novels, the wolf-girl’s name was surprisingly pleasant.

Ning Chu responded softly and turned his gaze to Wen Yang.

Wen Yang still seemed a bit dazed, unable to shake off his disbelief. He had only been jealous and tried to scare Ning Chu by saying Han Jingye might be a pervert, and now it turned out he was right?

He couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear—knowing Ning Chu’s personality, if he had been harassed, he might have kept it to himself rather than seeking help like Yan Xinya.

"Why did you come to me?" Wen Yang asked, his face flushed with embarrassment and guilt. "I don’t really have the ability to help..."

Yan Xinya’s expression grew even more despondent, her shoulders trembling. "I told my roommates, but they didn’t believe me. They thought I was the one who initiated it."

"I even called the police, but..."

The wolf-girl’s words were cut off by Ning Chu. "It’s okay, Wen Yang will handle it."

"???"

Wen Yang looked at Ning Chu in shock.

Wait, he’s just an ordinary person—how is he supposed to handle this?

"What? You don’t want to help?" Ning Chu asked, his tone slightly accusatory.

"It’s not that... It’s just that we should at least hear the full story first."

Wen Yang scratched his head awkwardly. Other than being popular with girls, he didn’t think he had anything special that would justify Ning Chu’s confidence in him.

Yan Xinya hunched over, her fingers fidgeting, but she remained silent.

Ning Chu sighed in despair.

In the book, Han Jingye had used a scholarship as leverage to coerce a girl into submission. Now, the time, place, and characters were all wrong—the actual plot should occur around the end of the semester or the start of the next one, and the girl wasn’t supposed to be a wolf-girl. If they didn’t deal with Han Jingye now, more girls could fall victim to him later.

Cheesy novels often have twisted morals. When reading or writing them, the focus was always on what would be the most exciting, but if something like this happened in real life, it was suffocating.

In anime and games, many characters might be lolicons or even worse, but in reality, few decent people would target a girl under sixteen. It wasn’t just a legal issue—it was about moral boundaries.

Seeing Yan Xinya hesitating to speak, Ning Chu, still slumped over the table, asked in a voice even more lifeless than the wolf-girl’s, "Did he start by chatting with you online? Showing concern for your life...?"

Yan Xinya froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Can you show us the chat logs?"

"I deleted them... I reacted strongly, and he said he would stop harassing me if I deleted them." The wolf-girl placed her phone on the table and, after a pause, continued, "Later, when I reported it to the police, they spoke to him, but there wasn’t any evidence."

"But I thought about it and realized that if I don’t speak up, other girls might... But I don’t know what to do on my own."

So Yan Xinya had taken reasonable steps to protect herself.

Wen Yang frowned. Just moments ago, he had said he wasn’t capable of handling this, but now he was recording the conversation on his phone and trying to recover the deleted chat logs on the girl’s phone.

"Hmm, so reporting it did help, but there wasn’t enough evidence," Ning Chu mumbled to himself. After his successful report of the villa party, he knew that the enforcement of anti-exploitation laws in this world was pretty effective. Outside of the cheesy plotlines, everything else seemed relatively normal.

The world he came from wasn’t without its own scandalous stories—they were just hidden from view, like that infamous eel incident, or certain extravagant parties... Every now and then, there would be some extreme news or exposure.

But unfortunately, he was also a character in this plot, trapped in it, unable to escape or avoid it.

"Evidence..." Wen Yang muttered, frustrated as he put down the phone. "I tried, but I couldn’t recover the chat logs. I’ll try using my computer back in the dorm."

The built-in chat recovery feature hadn’t worked, so his only option was to try some software on his computer.

"It might not be necessary to go that far. Evidence would be great, but even if we don’t have any, we can still do something," Ning Chu said, sitting up and looking at Wen Yang. "Why don’t you try reporting it?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, if you report it, maybe they’ll actually do something."

Wen Yang couldn’t help but laugh. "What makes you think I can make that happen?"

But you’re the protagonist, the child of destiny! You have the protagonist’s halo!

Ning Chu looked at Wen Yang with an encouraging gaze, making him feel even more self-conscious. He really didn’t understand where Ning Chu’s confidence in him came from.

Did Ning Chu see him as someone who could do anything?

"Go for it!"

Those bright, hopeful eyes gazed up at him, and in that moment, Wen Yang really did feel like he could do anything.

This feeling of being relied on by Ning Chu...

It was the first time he had encountered something like this, and the nervousness and self-doubt began to fade, replaced by a growing sense of confidence. "Okay, I’ll report it."

"And if nothing comes of it, we’ll blow this up! I refuse to believe no one will step in!"

"Exactly!" Ning Chu nodded in agreement. "I almost got caught up in it too!"

Hearing this, Wen Yang’s anger flared, a flash of fear crossing his face before he clenched his teeth and growled, "We have to make sure he ends up in jail!"

"Let him rot!"

Yan Xinya noticed that the two of them seemed even more worked up than she was.

But she was still incredibly grateful, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, thank you..."

"Don’t thank us—just make sure you don’t talk to Wen Yang again." Ning Chu took the opportunity to reduce any potential threats.

"Okay! He’s yours!" Yan Xinya nodded obediently. "I won’t compete with you."

"???"
