Trapped in Paradise

Chapter 70: Morning Surprise

Wen Yang felt like he had a big problem recently.

Early in the morning, he quietly opened his eyes, the images from his dream still swirling in his mind.

The girl who actively sat on his waist, kissing and licking his body… As he recalled, that blurry face gradually became clear: it was Ning Chu.

Why is it Ning Chu again…

This wasn’t the first time; Ning Chu always appeared in his dreams, doing unmentionable things with him. But due to a lack of material, it always cut off at the crucial moments.

Which was quite regrettable… No, it made him quite worried about his sexual orientation.

At five in the morning, Wen Yang sat up and looked at the opposite bed.

Ning Chu had rolled the blanket into a long shape, hugging it with both arms and legs, making it seem like she was using it as an oversized pillow, resembling a koala.

Most of her body was exposed to the air conditioning, her loose short sleeves pulled up, revealing her slender waist, while her short shorts showcased her round little butt, making Wen Yang’s morning reaction even stronger.

“Looks like I really need to find a girlfriend…”

Getting turned on by a boy, and dreaming of a boy as his lover.

Wen Yang sighed; he suspected that he couldn’t let loose in the dorm, and not having taken care of personal matters for too long was causing this situation. But he couldn’t deny that he occasionally had some thoughts about Ning Chu.

Although she looked a bit childish, she wasn’t inferior to the girls chasing after him, and despite her flat figure, there was a kind of innocent charm to it.

So sinful! What am I even thinking about my roommate!

After a night of sweet dreams, his pants felt a bit sticky and wet, leaving him feeling guilty and uncomfortable.

He carefully climbed out of bed, afraid that the bed frame’s creaking would wake up Ning Chu. He put on his slippers, grabbed a clean pair of underwear and shorts, and hurried to the bathroom.

“Can’t sleep anymore.”

After changing pants, Wen Yang leaned against the balcony railing, lost in thought.

Just past five, the sky was only faintly bright, the distant moon still hanging high, and the air was remarkably fresh.

He was increasingly believing that Ning Chu was a woman, but he just couldn’t find any definitive proof.

That “chest muscle” was indeed noticeable, but certain conditions could also give men soft chests, especially if they were chubby.

Her body shape did resemble a girl, but there were also boys with delicate frames.

Her feminine appearance couldn’t serve as evidence; she just looked a bit girly.

Wen Yang was deep in thought when he suddenly heard some commotion from the dorm.

He lifted his head and saw Ning Chu in slippers, looking anxious as she pushed the door onto the balcony, stepping quickly into the bathroom.

He froze for a moment, realizing that the pants he had just changed out of were still in the bathroom.

The next moment, Ning Chu’s voice came from inside: “Wen Yang! Why is your underwear out!? Why is it hanging in the bathroom? It’s so unsightly!”

“……”

If it were a normal day, washing his clothes and leaving them in the bathroom wouldn’t have been a big deal. But the problem was, those pants had a bit of other stuff on them today.

“What’s that strange smell!?”

Is that nose from a cat?

Wen Yang felt his face flush, his heart racing on the balcony, and instinctively wanted to barge inside. But when he turned the doorknob, he realized Ning Chu had locked it.

The sound of the knob rattling startled Ning Chu.

Holy! Good thing I always remember to lock the door!

What’s wrong with this girl!?

“Don’t panic! I’ll just take it out for you.”

“Don’t…”

But Ning Chu, fearing Wen Yang might try to push his way in again, had wrapped her pants around the underwear, cracking the door open just a bit, and with a disgusted look, handed Wen Yang’s pants back.

“……”

“What’s all this sticky stuff? It got all over my hand, gross…” She glanced up at Wen Yang’s embarrassed expression, confusedly murmuring, “What’s wrong with you?”

“……”

Ning Chu mumbled and closed the door again, suspiciously glanced at her fingers, furrowing her brows, bringing her nose close to sniff. A familiar yet strange scent rushed into her nostrils.

Could it be that so-called musk scent?

After a long effort to remember, she couldn’t recall where she had encountered a similar smell lately.

Until she recalled before crossing over…

“No way!”

“Eh~” Ning Chu’s face darkened as she hurriedly put her fingers under the faucet to wash them, scrubbing with soap, worried about not cleaning it properly.

No wonder it felt so familiar!

Wen Yang is a pervert! Doing things like that early in the morning!

On the balcony, Wen Yang’s face was flushed as he washed his pants in a basin in the sink.

Still a little virgin, he genuinely didn’t know how to explain this situation away; he could only hurry to destroy the evidence.

A few minutes later, Ning Chu emerged from the bathroom.

He stole a glance at Ning Chu’s expression, but she was also blushing, bright red as if blood was about to drip.

Noticing his gaze, Ning Chu lowered her head, hurried back into the dorm, showing no intention to question him.

Wen Yang let out a sigh of relief, but then felt a bit confused. He muttered to himself, “What’s Ning Chu shy about?”

If it were Zhang Shaoqing in this situation, he’d likely finish using the bathroom and then give him an earful. But Ning Chu’s reaction was shyness, avoidance, even not daring to meet his eyes.

The atmosphere in the dorm grew a bit awkward.

Ning Chu sat expressionless in front of the computer, curling up as she trimmed her nails, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her inner turmoil.

Wen Yang pretended everything was fine but kept stealing glances at Ning Chu’s expression, feeling guilty and awkward.

From the top bunk, Zhang Shaoqing’s teeth grinding echoed through the room.

“Um… I’ll head out first.”

“Going to buy breakfast?”

“No, it’s cooler to play ball in the morning.” Wen Yang’s eyes darted around as if sneaking out to meet a lover, “I’ll bring you breakfast when I come back around six or seven.”

Ning Chu frowned, putting aside her earlier embarrassment, asked, “Who are you playing ball with so early?”

“Shan Shan…”

That shameless green tea girl again!

He suddenly felt a bit restless: “I’ll go too, since there’s nothing else to do in the morning, let’s go shoot some hoops together.”

“Uh…”

Seeing Wen Yang hesitating, Ning Chu smiled and teased, “Oh~ Could it be that there’s an affair going on?”

“No!”

“I’m just worried you might be deceived by a bad woman; it’s not like I’m against you dating.” She put on a righteous, selfless expression, “Let’s go, let’s go, change your clothes and let’s ball!”

She stood up, grabbed some clothes from the wardrobe, and ran to the bathroom.

He’s the only one that hides in the bathroom to change clothes in the whole dorm.

Another point of suspicion.

Wen Yang pondered, changing into his basketball tank and shorts, standing by the doorway waiting for Ning Chu.

“Done! Let’s go!”

Though Ning Chu seemed upbeat, Wen Yang still noticed a hint of worry in her brows and eyes.

“Let’s go…”
