Volume 1 Chapter 32: Café
The dormitory is usually the loudest when the roommates are playing games together.
Regardless of their usual demeanor, whether they are usually polite and never swear or introverted and silent, everyone would curse and say some really explicit things during gaming.
Zhang Shaoqing had the lowest quality of speech, and Wang Jie, who was usually a shut-in, became quite talkative when playing games. Even Wen Yang, who rarely swore, would occasionally use some rough language.
Only Ning Chu remained silent, staring blankly at his black and white screen, unable to say anything, feeling out of place.
After two hours, the friendship boat had completely capsized.
âDamn it! Iâm done!â Zhang Shaoqing threw his mouse, âWe played for two hours and didnât win a single game. Whose fault is it?â
âDone playing? Then Iâll take a nap.â Wang Jie stretched lazily and turned off his computer screen, yawning as he stood up, âLetâs play again next time.â
Wen Yang looked at the time, it was only one oâclock in the afternoon, and suddenly he became more active in his thoughts.
But just as he was thinking about something not so good, his gaze subconsciously turned to Ning Chu.
Surely he couldnât find an excuse to keep him in the dormitory and not go out?
He really didnât understand why Ning Chu was doing this.@@novelbin@@
Ning Chu was tired too. As a novice, playing games with his roommates was not enjoyable at all. He slumped onto the table, his eyelids were already fighting each other.
He had hoped to play all afternoon and keep Wen Yang in the dormitory.
He rubbed his eyes, feeling a bit drowsy, but he still remembered his mission: to keep Wen Yangâs virginity intact!
âWen Yang, are you taking a nap?â
As long as Wen Yang took a nap, this dangerous afternoon would be over!
âIâm going out.â Wen Yang refused, âYou rest, Iâm going to the café off-campus. The owner invited me to taste some new products on weekends, but I never had time.â
Taste new products? Are you sure you are not tasting the owner instead?
This plotline wasnât in the book, but Ning Chu still wasnât reassured. Wen Yangâs hentai protagonistâs aura was too strong, and most girls were attracted to him. Even if it wasnât part of the plot, there was still a chance he might give in.
âItâs raining so heavilyâ¦â
âJust bring an umbrella.â
âWell, can I come too? I also like coffee.â
Ning Chu couldnât find any other reasons, so he had to change his plan.
Wen Yang didnât mind. He nodded and bent down to put on his shoes, preparing to leave.
âStick to me, huh? You two might as well be conjoined twins.â Zhang Shaoqing continued his annoying teasing.
âYou talk too much!â
Ning Chu suddenly kicked Zhang Shaoqingâs chair and quickly followed Wen Yang out of the dormitory, cursing as he went.
The rain outside was pouring down, and flashes of lightning could be seen in the dark clouds from time to time.
âThis rain is too heavy⦠Weâll get wet even with an umbrella.â Ning Chu frowned at the rain curtain, âShould we really go now?â
âAlways acting like a pigeon isnât great, but I donât have much to do this afternoon anyway.â
Wen Yang took the umbrella and walked into the rain, continuing, âItâs fine, itâs pretty close by. There are several new types of coffee and snacks. After we come back, you probably wonât be able to take a nap.â
Does this guy really think heâs just going to taste new products?
Ning Chu remained silent, quietly following alongside.
Actually, he wanted to verify a conjecture: aside from the female characters in the plot who have a comrade relationship with Wen Yang, would other girls not mentioned in the book make moves like offering themselves, seduction, or reverse pursuit because of Wen Yangâs protagonist aura?
The shy girl who brought sour plum soup in the morning, the lady boss at the Café, they both belonged to characters never mentioned in the book.
In the pouring rain, water inevitably seeped under the umbrella.
Wen Yang, with nothing else to do, kept shifting his gaze to Ning Chu, taking a few steps closer and starting a conversation, âWhat type of girl do you like?â
âHuh?â Ning Chu instinctively responded, âGood figure, pretty.â
âYou donât have any requirements for personality?â
Wen Yangâs words were as if he were saying Ning Chu was extremely shallow.
But Ning Chu was willing to be shallow like this. Just as he was about to nod vigorously, he suddenly realized he couldnât convey the wrong values to Wen Yang.
So after pondering for a moment, he attempted to brainwash him, âOf course, I have requirements for personality. If I were to really date a girl, it would definitely be with the intention of getting married.â
âBeing virtuous and gentle goes without saying. The important thing is definitely loyalty! Both she and I are the same, not fooling around, not casually dating, not cheatingâ¦â
He observed Wen Yangâs expression, afraid that his words might provoke a negative reaction.
Wen Yang nodded in agreement, âMakes sense.â
Hmm, you might not think so once youâve tasted how delicious girls are.
Ning Chu silently criticized his male lead, but fortunately, the current Wen Yang was still a virgin, timid and shy, yet always holding a little hope for pure romantic love between two people.
As for the chance of having a pure romantic love story in a hentai world⦠Well, itâs better not to have any expectations.
âThe rain is getting heavier.â
âYeah, Iâm all wetâ¦â
Wen Yang glanced at Ning Chu, whose half-body was soaked by the rain, and handed over his umbrella, âSwitch with me, mine is bigger.â
âHuh? But what about you?â Ning Chu was startled by his sudden gentleness.
âIâm fine, getting a little wet wonât hurt me.â
âDonâtâ¦â
Ning Chuâs mouth twitched, his eyes immediately becoming wary as he looked at Wen Yang with suspicion.
Could it be that heâs been too good to Wen Yang, and Wen Yang canât wait for the plot to develop until he turns into a girl?
âIâm fine too.â He quickly shook his head, simultaneously creating some distance between himself and Wen Yang, looking as cautious as a wild cat that had seen a can of food.
Having his good intention rejected, Wen Yang looked at Ning Chuâs flickering eyes, then lowered his gaze to his chest. âBut you got wet in the rain, itâs quite noticeable.â
ââ¦â
The short-sleeved shirt had a flamboyant pattern on the chest, effectively covering up any prominent features.
But with a bit of rain soaking the clothes, the camouflage effect of the pattern was diminished.
âJust a bit of a chill from getting wet in the rain,â Ning Chu stubbornly explained.
Subconsciously, he crossed his arms to block Wen Yangâs gaze from the side and casually rested the umbrella on his forearm.
âIsnât it because of you going out in heavy rain?â
âI didnât ask you toâ¦â
Internally, embarrassment and awkwardness overwhelmed him. His face flushed red, deliberately slowing his pace to fall behind Wen Yang by a step.
Fortunately, as they walked out of the school gate, the facade of the Café appeared within sight, located across the street.
From afar, looking through the glass into the shop, Ning Chu could vaguely see a figure wearing a black and white maid outfit.
Wow, a maid café! No wonder Wen Yang came out in the rain for this!
Too bad itâs not a catgirl! It lacks a bit of flavor.
