Trapped in Paradise (In a Hentai World, as a Trap)-Chapter 388
“School starts tomorrow, huh~”
While eating a plate of steaming dumplings, Ning Chu sighed. “Time sure flies.”
Before she knew it, the first semester and winter break had both come and gone. Since transmigrating here, she hadn’t really
done
anything—barely paid attention in class, drifted through each day in a haze, and somehow half a year had already vanished.
If it were another protagonist, they’d probably already be a millionaire by now, standing out as a rising star.
But she? She’d spent all her time thinking about how to keep Wen Yang a virgin.
Looking back to September of last year, Ning Chu racked her brain. Aside from some extreme methods—like, say, cutting off Wen Yang’s little brother—there really hadn’t been much she could do to change fate.
Or rather, compared to ending up as a public cum-rag, an ugly bastard pet, or even a well-known campus socialite and orgy regular... her current situation was actually pretty satisfying.
“Our counselor’s changed again,” Wen Yang said, head down as he typed in the class group chat. As class monitor, he always got the latest updates first. “Ning Chu, Lily, I’ll need your student IDs later. We’ll need them for registration tomorrow.”
“Okay~”
Lily took out her student ID from her pocket and placed it on the table.
“Ning Chu, you’ve been reassigned to Lily’s dorm,” Wen Yang added.
“I figured as much.”
Although Lily’s dorm was already full, one of her roommates had applied to live off-campus—though she still had to pay the dorm fees.
“Lily! Are you done eating? Help me clean up!” Ning Chu asked, setting down her bowl and chopsticks.
“Mm.”
The succubus, as always, gave a cold and expressionless nod. Yet she quickly stuffed the last two dumplings into her mouth, cheeks puffed up like a bun.
Looks like Mom’s dumplings really hit the spot for her~
“If you like them that much, take the rest back to the dorm,” Ning Chu said with a smile.
“Mm.”
Lily nodded, stood up, and pulled something out of her suitcase—a transparent, dome-shaped
sex toy
—and set it on the bed. “A return gift.”
“I don’t need that! Put it back!”
“Oh~”
Her tone was teasing, though her face showed no emotion. Ning Chu knew her too well by now; the succubus was
definitely
doing this to get back at her for that earlier incident.
So what if her mom had caught her secretly playing with a toy at home? Getting her “sexual preference" exposed to the family wasn’t
that
big a deal!
Women, honestly… how could they hold a grudge over something so small?
Then again…
If it were
me
… I’d probably be even
more
petty than Lily!
“Wen Yang, you wash the pots.”
“Got it!”
The once hentai protagonist—who used to spend his nights surrounded by women—had now been thoroughly trained into a responsible, domestic man. Carrying the dishes to the sink, Wen Yang said, “By the way, I got my part-time pay from the winter job. I’ll transfer it to your account later.”
“Sure, I’ll keep it for you~”
“No need. Just buy whatever you want.”
“Then I’m gonna spend it all!”
Right in front of him, Ning Chu opened a shopping app, adding one item after another to her cart—game console, mini fridge, computer parts. “I want
everything!
”
“Sure, go ahead. But, uh… I don’t think what I made will cover all that.”
Seeing that he didn’t mind at all, her enthusiasm faded. “Forget it. Better to save it and get you something good to eat instead…”
“If you want it, just buy it.”
“Nah, it’s fine. I don’t mind, but I’d feel bad if you couldn’t afford meals later.”
Back when school first started, Wen Yang might’ve been tall, but he had a bit of a sickly, underfed look. After half a year of her care and feeding, he’d filled out noticeably—his build sturdier, his complexion healthier.
All thanks to
me~
Lifting her head to admire her own “results,” Ning Chu cheerfully transferred the money Wen Yang had sent her into her savings app. Then she turned to glance at Lily—only to catch the girl looking at her with a faintly envious, almost bitter expression.
Noticing Ning Chu’s gaze, Lily quickly turned away and silently got up to help with the cleaning.
She
said
she wasn’t interested in romance, but deep down… maybe she actually wanted to fall in love too?
Still, Ning Chu couldn’t think of any suitable man to introduce to this succubus.
Her
brother
? Please—he was too frail for that. Good thing he and Lily never got together; with how even Sister Xiao Xi could drain a man dry, one week with Lily and her brother wouldn’t just be pale-faced—he’d probably lose two sizes off his waist.
And here she thought he might have inherited
some
succubus blood, maybe with a little stamina bonus.
Turns out the only thing he had going for him was… size. Which didn’t help much at all~
After an hour of cleaning, the three of them had completely tidied up the small apartment.
Lily took the leftover dumplings back to her dorm, Wen Yang was upstairs airing out the bedding, and Ning Chu sat in front of her computer, chin resting on one hand, staring blankly at the screen.
School was about to start, the cleaning had worn her out—but she still had her daily word count to meet.
Problem was… she had no idea what to write.
After typing a couple of lines, her focus quickly drifted to a gaming forum.
Moments later, the door opened and Wen Yang walked in. Glancing around the tidy room, he asked, “Where’s Lily?”
“She left when you went upstairs to hang the bedding.”
“Mm.”
He sat down beside her, and after a quick look at the novel document she’d hurriedly minimized, he teased, “Still won’t let me see? What are you hiding from me?”
“When someone’s watching, I just can’t write!” Ning Chu glared, puffing out her cheeks. “Go sit on the sofa! Don’t hover over me!”
“Doesn’t matter. I’ll get to read it once you post it anyway…”
“Even if you do,
don’t
tell me you’ve read it! It’s embarrassing!”
Fuming, she kicked at him lightly—then leaned closer with narrowed eyes, peeking at his phone screen. “Let me see if you’ve been flirting with any girls~”
But all she saw was a job-hunting app.
Her expression instantly turned into a frown. “You’re looking for another job? At night again?”
“Of course. Gotta earn some money.”
“We’re
not
short on money, okay?” she huffed, mentally tallying their finances. “You made four or five thousand over winter break. Add my living allowance and manuscript fees—we’ve got more than seven thousand saved up!”
“If we just eat at the cafeteria, that’s enough for three months. And during those three months, I’ll still be getting my pay and living stipend.”
Wen Yang lowered his head, saying nothing, fingers gripping his phone tightly.
Having once been a man herself, Ning Chu immediately understood what was on his mind. Her tone softened, her voice gentler.
“Listen, college isn’t about rushing to make money, okay? Besides, the world’s full of bad women out there~ Just do a weekend part-time gig sometimes, that’s enough.”
Wen Yang gave a bitter smile. “The problem is, weekend jobs don’t pay enough. You’ve been paying for me for a whole semester.”
“Then just keep being my cute little kept man~ Besides, didn’t you already pay me back five thousand?”
“And what about in the future—the dowry, the house, the car, and—”
“Stop, stop, stop! I don’t wanna hear it!” Ning Chu quickly covered her ears, shaking her head so hard her hair blurred into motion. “We’ll make money together after graduation! Why think so far ahead now? You’re the
protagonist
, remember? With that protagonist's luck, your future’s guaranteed!”
“This is just an investment! Right now, you’re broke, so I’ll raise you. Later, when you’re rich, I’ll just stay home and be a spoiled rich wife!”
Wen Yang couldn’t help but laugh at her frantic head-shaking. “Aren’t you afraid that once I make it big, I’ll dump you?”
Ning Chu froze—then glared fiercely. “Then I’ll write you into my novel as a girl! And have you get railed every day!”
“Wow, terrifying.”
“Scared, huh~?” She puffed up proudly, chest forward and chin high. “Don’t forget, I’m your
author
, mister protagonist!”
—Though, admittedly, she
was
the author who always ended up pinned under her own protagonist.
