Trapped in Paradise (In a Hentai World, as a Trap)-Chapter 303
“Finally done with all the exams!”
On Thursday afternoon, Ning Chu handed in her final project—signaling the end of her last exam.
Some subjects still required traditional written tests, which meant review and staying mentally sharp. But for certain major-related courses, turning in a qualifying project was enough.
Fortunately, with Wen Yang’s help, she’d finished those projects ages ago—no chance of failing there.
“When are you heading home?”
“It’s either tomorrow or the day after.”
Ning Chu turned around and linked arms with Wen Yang, smiling sweetly.
“Let’s go have fun tomorrow! Then we can head home the day after~”
“Let’s hit the amusement park! We didn’t get to enjoy it properly last time!”
“Sure.”
The last time she went with her dorm mates, she only had the allowance her mom gave her. Most of the attractions were too expensive, so she ended up playing small games like ring toss and goldfish scooping.
But things are different now. With her writing, Ning Chu was pulling in over 2,000 yuan a month in royalties—she could afford to splurge a little.
“You dare go into the haunted house?”
She grinned, poking Wen Yang’s waist with her elbow.
“Don’t go clinging to me in fear when the time comes~”
“...”
Wen Yang wasn’t exactly the bravest, but he had pride. Even if his legs turned to jelly inside, he’d still keep a straight face in front of his girlfriend. No way was he going to embarrass himself.
“Should we invite Shaoqing and Wang Jie too?”
“Why bother?” Ning Chu rejected the idea without hesitation.
With old dorm mates around, there was no way she’d feel comfortable being affectionate with Wen Yang.
Even if they all already saw her as a girl, Ning Chu still felt this awkward tension.
Deep down, she believed she had to act more “manly” in front of them.
After waiting in the hallway for a bit, Yan Xinya, Lily, and Zhang Shaoqing all exited the exam room one after another.
“Shaoqing, how’s the progress going?”
Ning Chu figured that, after giving him her partial “strategy guide,” he should’ve made some headway with Qian Qian.
“I gave her a Musang King durian yesterday. She really seemed to like it...”
Yan Xinya chimed in, “She asked me today where it came from! She really does love durian!”
“Seriously?”
Zhang Shaoqing looked at Ning Chu in surprise. He had only bought the durian thinking,
well, can’t hurt to try
—never expected Qian Qian to actually be into it.
His spirits lifted immediately. He started mentally reviewing the rest of Ning Chu’s “tips.”
Unfortunately, today was the last day of the semester. Even if Qian Qian still had exams to proctor, she’d likely be leaving campus soon.
“Hey! You guys forgot about me again!”
A despairing voice suddenly rang out behind them, snapping Zhang Shaoqing out of his thoughts.
Everyone turned to see Wang Jie emerging from the exam hall, looking like the picture of betrayal.
“Why do you always leave me behind?”
“You’re not a girl. What’s the point of waiting for you?”
Zhang Shaoqing shoved his hands in his pockets and gave him a lazy look.
“You took forever to revise your paper. We weren’t gonna stand around waiting.”
“You totally forgot about me…”
Zhang Shaoqing ignored him and instead sidled up to Ning Chu, trying to look friendly.
But Wen Yang immediately threw an arm around Ning Chu’s shoulders, shooting him a warning look.
“Oh come
on
! Are you seriously jealous of
me
now?!”
“Nope.”
Wen Yang simply tightened his grip, shielding Ning Chu a little more—and even switched spots with her.
“What the hell, bro? Don’t you trust me?”
Ning Chu bowed her head, hiding her laughter.
To be honest, she didn’t really want to talk to Zhang Shaoqing either. He was way too annoying.
A few days ago when she gave him those strategy tips, he called her a liar and accused her of trying to sabotage him.
Now look at him—suddenly acting all grateful and eager to please. Who’s he trying to fool?
“Wen Yang, Wen Yang, I just need to ask Ning Chu something real quick.”
“Ning Chu doesn’t want to talk to you.”
She quickly nodded along, “Yup, I don’t.”
“Come on, let’s go out for a big meal tonight! It’s the last day—let’s all eat together.”
“A
big
meal?”
Ning Chu turned her head away, unimpressed.
“It’s not like I can’t afford my own food.”
“Seafood! There’ll be lobster!”
For Zhang Shaoqing, anything money could solve wasn’t a problem. After all, it wasn’t his own money he was spending.
Ning Chu had
zero
guilt about draining the villain’s wallet. The moment she heard there’d be lobster, she immediately nodded.
“Alright, I’ll send you all the intel I’ve got later.”
Yan Xinya’s eyes lit up, her big fluffy tail spinning like a fan as she leaned in curiously.
“What about me and Lily? Do we get a share too?”
“Of course! But can you help me get Qian Qian to come to dinner too?”
“I can try?”
“Then you’re my best bro from now on!”
Zhang Shaoqing hooked an arm around Yan Xinya’s shoulder, lowering his voice.
“Trick her into coming if you have to—whatever it takes! It’s the last day. I
need
to leave a good impression before the break so I can keep chatting with her online.”
The wolf-girl didn’t mind physical contact with guys at all. In fact, she hooked her arm right back around his and teased:
“Then will you get me a special extra dish? I’ve got a big appetite~”
“You got it! And later, help me style an outfit. I want that slicked-back hair, total CEO vibes.”
Shaoqing still remembered Ning Chu saying Qian Qian was into strong, dominant types.
“No problem~”
Everything was lively and cheerful—until Wang Jie interrupted with a grim tone:
“I can’t make it to dinner tonight. My train’s at 6 PM.”
“Six?! That early?”
Zhang Shaoqing frowned in disappointment.
“It’s the last day and you’re ditching the boys? Change your ticket.”
“It’s not up to me—my girlfriend booked it for me.”
“Oh~ well then, never mind.”
He sighed dramatically, as if giving a blessing, and patted Wang Jie on the shoulder.
“Just... take care of yourself tonight, alright?”
Wang Jie’s face went pale, and he instinctively reached to hold his waist.
Lily gave him a glance, instantly catching on. The coldness on her usually aloof face faded into a subtle smirk.
Men really are useless
Toys are better. As long as the power doesn’t go out, they’ll keep going as long as you want.
“Dinner’s at 7. Meet at the seafood stall street by the school’s back gate.”
“Cool, then Wen Yang and I will walk around for a bit first.”
Outside the teaching building, Ning Chu and Wen Yang said their goodbyes to the group.
Since their rental was too far away and she didn’t feel like going to the guys’ dorm, Ning Chu simply linked arms with Wen Yang and started strolling aimlessly around campus.
Many students were hauling luggage and rushing off, and the campus was noticeably thinning out.
“Wen Yang...”
“Hm?”
Ning Chu tugged her scarf up to cover half her face, making her features look even more delicate and petite.
She tilted her head up, her peach blossom eyes curving with a smile.
“Let’s take a picture together?”
“Sure.”
“Let’s find a pretty background~”
“How about the artificial lake by the park? The scenery’s not bad.”
“That place... I’m afraid we’ll run into more wild lovebirds.”
She muttered, but still followed him into the park. They made their way to the artificial lake and sat side by side on a wooden bench.
She raised her phone with both hands, snapping a couple of scenic shots.
“I’ll show these to my brother later—show off my school a little...”
Then she switched to selfie mode, raised the phone high, and leaned in close, pressing her cheek against Wen Yang’s.
“Don’t move! I’m taking it now.”
Wen Yang froze in place like a statue, worried the picture wouldn’t turn out well.
“Why do you look like you’re being forced to take this? Smile a little!”
“That smile looks so awkward! Can’t you look a bit more natural?”
“You just moved again!”
“You—mmph!”
Wen Yang couldn’t take it anymore and sealed her babbling lips with a kiss.
“Did you hear that?”
“Probably just some couple making out... Damn, in this cold?”
I’ve become one of those “wild lovebirds”?
But it was just a kiss!
