Volume 1 Chapter 10: Too bad
âHey, nice perky butt!â
In the dorm room during the evening, as Ning Chu bent over and leaned on the desk to check the Ethernet cable on his laptop, he suddenly felt a slap on his rear end.
He instinctively turned around and delivered a swift kick.
âOuch! Damn!â
Zhang Shaoqing playfully retreated to the side but quickly approached again with a cheeky smile. âCome on, letâs buy some fruits. Itâs so hot, donât you want some watermelon?â
âWhy donât you order takeout?â
âItâs expensive! Plus, weâd have to go outside to buy a knifeâ¦â
âHow about fruit salad?â
âThatâs expensive too, and itâs not always fresh.â
Whoâs this penny-pinching rich kid, meticulously calculating every penny?
Ning Chu rolled his eyes and couldnât be bothered to argue further. He double-checked the laptopâs network connection, made sure it was working fine, and then turned to open the wardrobe door. He stood on tiptoes to peer inside, searching for the clothes he would change into later that night.
During the military training period, he had to take two showers a day.
But his movements were somewhat slow, and his expression carried a hint of uncertainty.
When he had taken a shower at noon, he was certain that he had felt extra softness on his chest. At that time, he had been a bit panicked, but with limited time during the lunch break, he couldnât thoroughly investigate.
Tonight, he needed to check it thoroughlyâ¦
Just as he was lost in thought, his butt was smacked again.
Why was Zhang Shaoqing so mischievous!
Ning Chu turned around in annoyance but saw that it was Wen Yang standing behind him this time.
Oh, the male lead. Alright then⦠building a good relationship with the male lead would be a good idea. Having the male leadâs help in disrupting the plot in the future would make things much easier.
âHands off!â
He gave Wen Yang a stern look but then softened his tone. âIf youâre running for class president tomorrow, itâs best to talk to your classmates first.â
âYeah, Iâve already arranged it,â Wen Yang nodded with a smile. âMost of the girls in the class are supportive.â
Tsk, being handsome has its perks, huh?
Ning Chu enviously and jealously sized up Wen Yang.
At this moment, Wen Yang was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts, and his sun-kissed skin had a light tan. His well-defined muscles seemed as solid as rocks, with eight neatly sculpted abdominal muscles and a V-shaped line formed by the long, slender muscles on his waist.
With his strong physique, his facial features remained rather delicate, which reminded Ning Chu of a fitness poster featuring Eddie Peng he had seen in his previous life.
Oh, how envious! Why couldnât I have transmigrated as the male lead instead of being a supporting character who gets sidelinedâ¦
Even if it were a villain role, that would be fine!
Ning Chuâs gaze then shifted to Zhang Shaoqing, who was shirtless.
Although Zhang Shaoqing didnât have prominently defined muscles, his face alone could make him an internet sensation even without any talents or skills if he were in the modern world.
Now look at meâ¦
Thin arms, slender legs, a face that looked like an underdeveloped little boy, a voice that leaned towards neutral, and not even a hundred pounds on the scale.
Slightly better than Wang Jie, the gaming nerd who nearly died from running two laps.
Inwardly lamenting the unfairness of life, Ning Chu found his pajamas and prepared to head to the bathroom.
But just as he turned, he saw Zhang Shaoqing grabbing a pair of underwear and rushing into the bathroom ahead of him.
âWhatâs wrong with himâ¦â
âThatâs just how he is, always messing around,â Wen Yang leaned against the ladder on Ning Chuâs bunk, playing with his phone, and hesitated as he asked, âNing Chu, can you help me choose?â
âChoose what?â
âA girlfriend,â he scratched his short hair in frustration, âeven girls from other classes have added me and sent me photos, asking me to be their boyfriend.â
Due to his strict upbringing, he had never even held a girlâs hand before going to college. Now that he was being pursued by numerous girls, he was feeling overwhelmed.
ââ¦â
Ning Chu could only widen his eyes in disbelief.
âWhy choose? Take them all!â Wang Jie chimed in from the side.
Ning Chu didnât hesitate to grab an empty bottle and toss it at Wang Jie. âStop talking nonsense!â
Once Wen Yang got a taste of it, it wouldnât be so easy to prevent him from going out for overnight stays with girls in the future!
âNo way, I havenât even talked to girls much. I canât handle even one of them,â Wen Yang shook his head, complaining, âLike that Ling Ling from yesterday, I was having lunch with her in the cafeteria, and she got mad out of nowhere. I canât understand women at all.â
No wonder you agreed so readily to break up with her.
However, Ling Ling getting angry⦠itâs highly likely that you didnât satisfy her.
After all, sheâs the supporting character in a steamy hentai, and usually, the reasons for her anger are related to unfulfilled desires.
âWhatâs the point of women anyway? Iâd rather play games.â Ning Chu slipped in his own thoughts and tried to influence Wen Yang, âLook at those games, they cost millions of dollars and involve hundreds of people. Isnât that better than one woman? Even duo queue with me is more interesting than women!â
Wen Yang hesitated for a moment, then turned to him and said, âForget it, playing games with you is like being in jail.â@@novelbin@@
âThatâs because I havenât played much!â
His pride as a man in games suddenly surged, even if his record was 0-16, he would never admit that he was bad.
Ning Chu crossed his arms, unwilling to back down. âGive me a couple more weeks to practice, and once Iâm familiar with the game, Iâll be able to carry you!â
Although this world also had competitive games similar to League of Legends and CS:GO, he wasnât familiar with the characters at all. Even if he had played in his previous life, he still needed to go through a beginnerâs period.
âI used to be Diamond I in games.â He mumbled quietly, then opened the game and immediately raised his head, squinting slightly at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang finally averted his gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed as he touched his nose.
From his perspective, looking down, he could see Ning Chuâs delicate and snowy white collarbone through the wide neckline. Looking deeper, he seemed to capture a slight undulation.
âDo you have a problem?â
Why are you staring at me like that?
Ning Chu felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny, and at that moment, Zhang Shaoqing, who was still soaking wet, entered the room. Ning Chu picked up his pajamas, rushed to the balcony, and accidentally bumped into Zhang Shaoqing on the way out.
âDamn it!â Zhang Shaoqing was about to curse, but he saw Ning Chu had already run out of the dormitory, and the back door was slammed shut. He could only mutter in annoyance, âStop running around in the dormitory! Whatâs the matter? In a hurry to change sanitary pads?â
Inside the bathroom, Ning Chu had already undressed, standing stark naked on the tiled floor. He lowered his head, lost in thought as he examined his flat chest.
It was indeed like an airport, but that was in comparison to females.
He placed his hands on his chest, furrowing his brow, feeling a slight discomfort beneath the small red beans and the soft sensation.
âItâs confirmed, itâs developing.â
âCould it be some kind of sexual dimorphism? Was I originally a girl?â
But girls donât develop this quickly, do they? Itâs only been a few days, and heâs already gained some flesh.
He slightly spread his legs and looked downwards.
Speaking of which, he hadnât seen Little Ning Chu have any energetic moments since he transmigrated. Even early in the morning. But he wasnât ascetic, and occasionally, he also had impulsive desires.
Itâs just that there were wolves on both sides of him, the male lead and the villain, and as a supporting character who was eaten by both in the original story, he didnât dare to mess around.
Nobody would do that kind of thing in the dormitory, right?
âIâm afraid it really is a punishment from hindering the plot developmentâ¦â
âWell, thatâs just terrible!â
