Volume 1 Chapter 72: Might Have to Run Away
As soon as he said those words, Wen Yang regretted them.
Seeing Ning Chu's stunned expression, he felt extremely guilty, but when he opened his mouth, a strange sense of male pride suddenly emerged.
Besides, he wasn't wrong.
He and Ning Chu had only known each other for a little over a month.
Although they had gone through a lot together, they were ultimately just roommates.
Even his parents didn't control him this much.
Looking at Ning Chu's disappointed expression, Wen Yang felt a tightness in his chest.
The words of apology reached his lips several times but couldn't come out.
After all, he wasn't wrong...
"Finished eating, let's go." Ning Chu stood up expressionlessly, threw the plastic bag into the trash can, and turned to walk out of the cafeteria first.
"Huh? Okay!"
Wen Yang unconsciously lowered his voice and followed Ning Chu's steps.
Usually, he walked ahead, with Ning Chu taking quick little steps to keep up behind him.
He tried to gauge Ning Chu's expression, but his face was emotionless, giving away nothing.
Ning Chu had entered his usual withdrawn state.
This roommate's mood was always unstable.
Sometimes lively and adorable, other times introverted and silent, able to sit without saying a word for an entire day.
The first rays of the morning sun had already fallen on the ground, tinting the eastern sky with a layer of orange.
Ning Chu continued walking towards the dormitory with his head down, his brain working hard to find a way out of this situation.
He had anticipated something like this.
Long-term discipline from parents or friends could lead to rebellion, let alone from a roommate.
But there were still many plot points in Wen Yang storyline that hadn't been triggered, and he still needed to ensure Wen Yang remained a virgin...
The problem was, the previous methods of control were becoming less effective.
Although Wen Yang had made progress and generally ignored girls who approached him, he was still a man and would always have moments when he was attracted to a girl, and he would always want a girlfriend.
Moreover, with their close contact, Wen Yang was clearly developing feelings for him.
"What to do?" He muttered to himself, frowning.
Ning Chu was anxious, torn between maintaining Wen Yang's virginity and the fear of potentially being violated.
Since coming to this world, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.
He sneaked a glance at Wen Yang's guilt-ridden face from the corner of his eye.
Even if he could ignore Wen Yang's growing fondness for him and his rebelliousness against the control, Wen Yang was still an unstable factor that needed to be dealt with...
He didn't think Wen Yang could hold out until all the plot points were completed.
In silence, they returned to the dormitory. Zhang Shaoqing was still sound asleep, and the cool air in the room slightly revived Ning Chu's spirits.
Staring blankly at the computer screen, Ning Chu aimlessly clicked on web pages, his mind still grappling with the current issue.
It felt almost unsolvable...
Unless he "sacrificed himself," offering himself as Wen Yang's girlfriend, thus gaining a reason to stop Wen Yang from interacting with other girls.
But that was impossible!
Even if his body had feminized and he had tried cross-dressing, even if he really became a girl, he would only consider dating girls!
In such a messed-up world, being a lesbian was normal too, right?
Instinctively, Ning Chu recalled spying on Wen Yang back then.
Wen Yang's size was terrifying! It would definitely break him!
Suddenly, a shadow blocked the sunlight from outside. Ning Chu looked up to see Wen Yang standing awkwardly in front of him.
"Um..." Wen Yang's eyes wandered. He didn't understand why he always felt so insecure in front of Ning Chu, "I suddenly feel that it's good for you to keep an eye on me..."
"???"
"I'm from the countryside, not very savvy in the city, easily deceived... I'm in no rush to find a girlfriend, having you screen them is fine."
Wen Yang smiled awkwardly, his eyes drifting to the ceiling.
That was a quick change of heart.
Ning Chu looked at his silly smile and sighed helplessly, "I think you're right."
Lately, the line between friendship and something more had been blurring. He wanted to maintain some distance from Wen Yang.
But he couldn't think of an alternative solution.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Wen Yang's eyes returned to Ning Chu.
Suddenly, he asked, "Shaoqing is still asleep, can you tell me... are you a boy or a girl?"
The direct question left Ning Chu stunned.
When he regained his senses, he immediately shook his head in denial, "I'm a boy!"
Wen Yang felt a wave of disappointment but still asked, a bit disbelieving, "Really?"
"Yes! A man!"
Ning Chu replied firmly.
But Wen Yang's skeptical eyes showed he still doubted his gender.
Ning Chu looked down at his body.
Yeah, there's not a single sign of masculinity!
He fell into deep thought.
Should he just take off his pants and show Wen Yang his little worm?
It's small, but it's still there.
But what if Wen Yang got the wrong idea and pounced on him?
Seeing Ning Chu not continuing to argue, Wen Yang gave a helpless smile, pulled a chair over, and decided to have a heart-to-heart.
"Actually, I don't mind you keeping an eye on me, controlling me... I've already explained why. I'm afraid of being deceived. If I get cheated out of money, I can't eat this month. If my feelings are hurt, that's even worse."
"Hmm?" Ning Chu didn't understand why he was suddenly so serious.
"I'm not in a hurry to find a girlfriend. After all, I look decent, and some girls in school like me."
Decent? Some?
Ning Chu jealously pursed his lips.
With Wen Yang's looks, if he walked around the girls' dormitory area, he'd get a bunch of screams.
Not to mention the girls chasing him, there'd be dozens, if not hundreds, considering the storyline.
"But the problem is..." Wen Yang's words halted. His face no longer showed embarrassment but turned a deep red, as if he couldn't bear to say it.
"Don't stop halfway."
Under Ning Chu's curious urging, Wen Yang lowered his head guiltily.
If he honestly said he had wet dreams about Ning Chu, would this friendship continue? Ning Chu might see him as a pervert, right?
Although it was quite perverted...
"The problem is my family urges me to get married, saying my middle and high school classmates are already married, and I don't even have a girlfriend."
Ning Chu could clearly sense Wen Yang's evasion.
He furrowed his brows deeply, scrutinizing Wen Yang's blushing face and evasive eyes.
Looking at his fidgety fingers, shaking legs, and occasional hair-scratching, he seemed guilty and sweaty, clearly lying.
An idea made Ning Chu's heart beat faster.
He looks like a shy virgin about to confess to his crush!
Damn!
I thought it was just fondness! Could it be he likes me?
What do I have over those girls chasing him? At best, my looks are on par, with a baby face that looks underage. My figure is flat!
His almond eyes widened, instinctively leaning back to distance himself from Wen Yang.
If this guess is true! He might have to run away tonight!
