But her eyes were almond-shaped, with slightly upturned corners, and always carried a faint pinkish hue around them, giving her a pitiful yet alluring look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like a high school sophomore or junior who had accidentally put on nightclub makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugly...” Ning Chu muttered, unable to accept her appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked just like a vixen who had often played with men's hearts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, she checked the bathroom door again, making sure it was locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she took the mop from the corner and propped it against the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a thorough safety check, she took a deep breath and undressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her upper body hadn’t changed much from before—her arms were slender, her shoulders narrow, her waist slim, and her belly adorned with a long, narrow belly button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The size of her chest hadn’t changed significantly either; it was still perky and cute, though the skin around it seemed to have darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slipped off her pants and stepped back, legs tightly pressed together, though there was still a small triangular gap between her thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her head and looked at the naked figure in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this unfamiliar woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the little boy she once was to the young girl she had become, it felt like she had gone through a lot, yet not much time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In what seemed like the blink of an eye, she could no longer recognize the person she used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand unconsciously touched the mirror, tracing the face of the woman reflected back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if someone had replaced her—just like she had replaced the original Ning Chu of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chill crept up her spine, and Ning Chu controlled her breathing, fearing she might hyperventilate and pass out again in her naked state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shifting her gaze away from the mirror, she chose to avoid the truth, much like how she had avoided taking photos for the past two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shameful, but effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm water streamed down her body, but it didn’t ease the coldness she felt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest was tight, and her hand trembled slightly as she held the showerhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly lathered her body with shower gel, deliberately avoiding her new \"accessories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spent ten minutes staring into the mirror, but only three minutes in the shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With wet hair, Ning Chu walked out of the bathroom in silence, tossed her dirty clothes into a basin to soak, and leaned against the balcony railing, staring up at the pitch-black sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she thought about it, her appearance during her boyish phase had about 80% resemblance to her former self in her previous life—or rather, it resembled her middle school self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in her previous life, she’d started going through puberty in middle school, breaking out in acne, and her cute, boyish looks had been ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in this world, for some unknown reason, she had kept that boyish form as a freshman in college, but she knew her final height would’ve been around 1.75 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been confident, waiting to go through puberty... and then puberty turned her into a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you going inside?” A voice came from behind her after she had been lost in thought for who knows how long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zhang Shaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just stargazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stargazing, my foot. There’s no stars out there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoqing rushed into the bathroom, only to dart back into the room minutes later, clearly eager to get back to his game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Wen Yang appeared with his clothes, about to take a shower, but paused on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ning Chu leaning against the railing, staring at the sky, he asked, “What’s wrong? You seem upset.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm okay, just a little... melancholic,\" Ning Chu replied, her bad mood from the shower already fading away thanks to the quiet company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Melancholic?\" Wen Yang stepped forward a couple of steps, leaning against the railing next to Ning Chu, mimicking her stance as they both stared at the night sky. \"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just thinking... what will happen in the future?\" Ning Chu sighed in frustration. \"This world is so dangerous...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she managed to disrupt all the plots in the book, she'd still have to live the rest of her life in a world where, without the protagonist's protection, you could easily end up in someone's basement with a dog collar around her neck and mind broken beyond repair... Just the thought of it sent chills down her spine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Yan Xinya and all the other girls? They never had the protagonist's protection, yet they were fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because they weren’t part of the plot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe if she completely destroyed all the storylines and escaped her supporting character role, the dangers around her would disappear too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But until then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Wen Yang, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Wen Yang asked, confused. “It’s not that dangerous, is it? I mean, the place is pretty safe overall. Sure, you run into a bad guy here and there, but no need to freak out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, you’re right,\" Ning Chu replied, nodding absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she added, \"I was just thinking... maybe you could give me something as a protective charm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonist’s blessing—surely a portion of that protagonist’s aura would rub off on her, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for sticking around Wen Yang, going from dorm mates to coworkers and then to neighbors... it wasn't impossible, but it seemed like a difficult plan to pull off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more extreme ideas too, but she wasn’t considering those at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Superstitious nonsense.\" Wen Yang rummaged through his pockets, finding them empty. He ended up offering his shirt, a pajama top. \"Here, take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will this work?\" Ning Chu asked, skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not,\" Wen Yang replied flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Ning Chu took the pajama top and casually draped it over her shoulders. \"What if it does?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang was dumbfounded. \"Wait, don’t you have your own pajamas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I threw them out... after trying them once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pajamas were too thin, and she refused to wear them without anything underneath.. After several failed attempts, she had discarded them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she wore a loose, comfortable casual outfit to bed instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was just psychological, but after draping Wen Yang’s pajama top over her shoulders, she did feel a bit more comfortable and at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang scratched his head, genuinely baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did chatting with Ning Chu for a couple of minutes end up with her taking his pajamas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this? Was she hinting that she wanted a gift?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization dawned on him, and as he walked into the bathroom, Wen Yang fell deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he give Ning Chu?\u003C\u002Fp>",1396,"2026-06-10T06:04:15.011Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f9cd03da97dda391ac1c9feb29897b4d3a64449749c3f506570252c237d6a7a","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-107","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-105",471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrapped-in-paradise-cover.jpg"]
