Trapped in Paradise

Chapter 11: Let me show you the world

After the first day of military training, even Wen Yang, the fittest one, felt a bit tired.

In the rare quiet of the dormitory, Wang Jie had already gone to bed early, snoring loudly just past nine o’clock. Zhang Shaoqing and Wen Yang were playing games together but were too lazy to chat, the only sounds filling the room were the clack of keyboards and click of mice.

Having taken a shower, Ning Chu slipped into her ice silk pajamas and climbed into bed.

These pajamas felt soft to the touch and were very comfortable, but there was one problem: summer pajamas were thin, making the small red beans on her chest quite noticeable.

Lying in bed, Ning Chu was tired but not sleepy. She turned to glance at Zhang Shaoqing’s computer screen, trying to steal some gaming tips to avoid being called bad when playing with Wen Yang again.

Having been in this world for over a week now, it was nothing like the chaotic scene she had imagined in the beginning; the differences from her past life weren’t that significant.

There were just a few more attractive girls in cute outfits.

They seemed a bit more forward too?

Why didn’t any of the girls come up to me… is it because Wen Yang is the main character?

With a soft sigh, Ning Chu buried her face in her pillow.

Her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Zhang Shaoqing’s screen again, where a victory sign had appeared, followed by him switching to a video player, resting his chin on one hand and leaning forward, entirely focused on the movie.

The sound from the speakers caught Wen Yang’s attention; he put down his game and moved his chair to sit beside Zhang Shaoqing, reminding him, “Turn it down a bit, Wang Jie is asleep.”

“Got it.”

Movie time with the gang~

A common activity in the dorm.

Propping herself up on her bed, Ning Chu took a few glances at the movie.

Seeing the exquisitely detailed images, the attractive female lead, and the high production value, it instantly captured her interest. She curiously asked, “What movie is this?”

“Come down and see for yourself. What’s with all the questions?” Zhang Shaoqing replied, kicking back with a bag of chips he pulled from the drawer.

“On it!”

Ning Chu eagerly hopped out of bed, pulled over her chair, and was about to sit next to Zhang Shaoqing when she suddenly froze, hurriedly moving over to sit next to Wen Yang instead.

This guy’s a villain. Even though he seems mentally stable for now, it’s still safer sitting beside the main character.

“Why are you so dismissive of me?” Zhang Shaoqing pouted, “Are you envious of my wealth? You seemed fine two days ago, but saw me and acted like you saw a ghost.”

“Yep, envious of your wealth!”

“Hey~ If my dad and grandpa worked hard for this, you should be mad at your dad for not trying hard enough, not me!”

Ning Chu shrugged off his nonsensical reasoning and focused back on the screen.

However, as she watched, she started to feel something was off.

Wasn’t this movie a bit too risqué? Not even two minutes in, the female lead was already getting touchy-feely, her clothes almost half-off!

No censorship at all?!

She leaned back, feeling like an elderly commuter awkwardly looking at a phone, glancing at the two next to her, who were engrossed in the movie.

Goodness, this can’t be an action movie, can it?

Wen Yang kept it low-key, watching in silence, but Zhang Shaoqing was already critiquing, “Wow, the female lead is stunning~ So smooth!”

As the movie escalated, Ning Chu awkwardly turned her head to gaze at the dorm exit, but her eyes couldn’t resist stealing a peek at the screen.

It wasn’t lewd; she was just genuinely curious how movies in this world compared to her previous life.

Um…… so big and so white.

This was her first experience like this. In fact, she had only ever watched a few out of pure curiosity and had merely heard of directors like Cang and Luo, not to mention watching with others.

Her two roommates made it hard to relax, as her gaze couldn’t linger too long on the screen, and a wave of embarrassment washed over her, her ears turning red.

The sound system was low to avoid waking Wang Jie, but the sultry gasps were still clear in Ning Chu’s ears.

The yellow nonsense was slowly filling her mind.

She bit her lip, feeling her temperature rising, her heartbeat quickening. Her legs unconsciously pressed together, and she hugged her stomach with a furrowed brow.

This doesn’t feel right.

A sudden desire to hug someone spread through her, with an inexplicable attraction to Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing, making her steal glances at the two of them.

Wen Yang had crossed his legs, while Zhang Shaoqing leaned forward, blocking her view.

Extreme pressure!

Ning Chu saw through their actions but a troubling question emerged.

Why is my little buddy still silent during all this?

Her face turned bright red, her cheeks were blooming with an enticing pink, creeping down to her neck; even her breaths felt warm. Her body was becoming more agitated, and her tightly pressed legs were inadvertently rubbing together.

Letting out a gentle sigh, she suddenly stood up and hurried out of the dorm.

“Tsk, look at that clueless face of his.” Zhang Shaoqing glanced at Ning Chu, washing his face on the balcony, and commented, “Could it be that he’s still a virgin?”

Wen Yang, ready to tease along, froze.

“What? Are you too?”

He defensively replied, “Have you seen how many girls chase after me in class? There’s no way I’d be like Ning Chu!”

“Oh~” Zhang Shaoqing rubbed his chin, nodding thoughtfully. “So it’s just poor Ning Chu left in our dorm. Should we take him to see the world this weekend?”

“That might not be a good idea?”

“Scared now?”

“I don’t think Ning Chu would be keen on going.”

Zhang Shaoqing sighed, “He’s a bit introverted; it’s true…”

“Let’s go! I’ll go if you treat!”

Suddenly hearing Ning Chu’s voice, he turned to look at her standing at the balcony door: “Really going?”

“I want to see the world~”

Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head awkwardly. It wasn’t that he didn’t know the place, but seeing Ning Chu’s youthful face made him feel a weird sense of guilt.

“Well, uh…”

“You probably haven’t even been yourself.” Ning Chu scoffed, huffing lightly before turning back to her bed.

On one hand, she was genuinely curious about the customs in this world.

On the other hand, she had doubts about whether this guy became psychologically twisted because his strict upbringing didn’t allow him to go to such places before he turned into a villain.

Climbing into bed, Ning Chu couldn’t help but sigh again, turning to face the wall, curling up, and pulling the blanket over her head.

It felt like her life was heading downhill…

My little buddy always seems so low-energy; what’s up with that?~ Asking for help, kind of urgent.
