Did you see how angry the shop owner was!? That man's face turned red, haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brought back so much with just a hundred bucks! Wen Yang, were you there for restocking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu held a super-large plastic bag in both hands, filled to the brim with various ornaments and dolls. It even blocked his vision, making him tilt his head to see the road clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuous praises and compliments flowed from their mouths, and Wen Yang, with a bashful smile, scratched the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s so  impressive! Let's go again next week! Stock up again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed like they didn't play much on this outing, the constant praise made Wen Yang very happy, and a smile uncontrollably appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu glanced back at his expression and became even happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip, including bus fare, snacks, and the money spent on ring-tossing, only cost around a hundred yuan. Yet, they had acquired a bunch of small ornaments that made Wen Yang so happy he lost his sense of direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing and chatting, Ning Chu walked to the dormitory door and gestured for Wang Jie to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't, you open it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jie, looking rather exhausted, took out the key and was about to open the door. However, with a twist of the handle, the door just swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you lock the door when you left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu asked in confusion, leading the way into the room with a pile of things in his arms. After placing his belongings down, he raised both hands, arched his body like a lazy cat, and yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the dormitory felt just like coming home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the dormitory looked chaotic and disorderly at first glance, with a faint scent lingering in the air, it still felt more comfortable than the unease experienced outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\" Ning Chu turned back, irritated, covering his buttocks. \"Are you crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't block the door,\" Wen Yang stood helplessly outside the room, \"It's scorching outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu's buttocks did feel quite soft and bouncy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little— Whatever! Turn on the air conditioner! I'm taking a nap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu turned to find the remote control but suddenly realized something, looking up at the air conditioner blowing cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment, and at that moment, the back door of the dormitory was opened. Zhang Shaoqing, holding a cigarette, leaned in, peering at the people inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back so early? Can't see people in broad daylight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You returned so early?\" Seeing Zhang Shaoqing, Ning Chu immediately dropped his playful attitude and scrutinized him with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad. Although Zhang Shaoqing used to have a gloomy expression before coming home, it seemed that he hadn't gained any additional sinister aura since returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that this guy might have undergone some trauma and transformed into a villain after coming home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Missed me after just one night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost.\" Ning Chu rolled his eyes at Zhang Shaoqing's smooth-talking, then turned to Wen Yang and asked, \"Are you going to take a nap this afternoon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the current temperature nearing forty degrees, spending the morning outside, staying vigilant in the unfamiliar environment, and trying to keep Wen Yang happy had left Ning Chu exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not sleeping? I...\" Wen Yang had originally planned to go to a café outside campus in the afternoon but changed his mind, thinking about the intense heat outside and the sweat and fatigue covering his body. \"How about taking a shower and a nap? I'm all sweaty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the satisfactory answer, Ning Chu smiled with narrowed eyes, realizing that Wen Yang had become more obedient and sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Wen Yang would have unhesitatingly chosen to go out on a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep working hard to train Wen Yang into an indifferent old virgin who's not interested in women!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let him know that besides women, there are many other interesting things in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ning Chu entered the bathroom with a change of clothes, Wen Yang yawned and went to the balcony, leaning against the railing, playing with his phone, and waiting for Ning Chu to finish showering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't smoke next to me,\" he glanced at Zhang Shaoqing, who was puffing smoke beside him, frowned slightly, and asked, \"What's going on between you and Ling Ling now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shaoqing had initially worn a cynical smile, but as soon as his childhood sweetheart was mentioned, his face immediately darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head, responding indifferently, \"Nothing's going on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang felt a headache. \"If she doesn't like you, find someone else. There are so many girls in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did she tell you?\" Suddenly turning his head, Zhang Shaoqing stared at Wen Yang with a dangerous look. The jealousy and possessiveness towards Ling Ling were already surging within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His favorite girl looked down on him while having all her attention on Wen Yang, who had never cared about Ling Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing became involuntarily heavy, his eyes slightly reddened, and his fists unconsciously tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Yang noticed his unusual expression but still nodded. \"She messaged me last night, saying you confessed to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bathroom door suddenly swung open, and Ning Chu, with wet hair, entered, holding a pile of clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as his feet reached the balcony, he suddenly realized that something was not right about the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Wen Yang nervously and then at Zhang Shaoqing, who had a distorted expression. His heart suddenly rose to his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dear lord! What happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just took a shower! Why does Zhang Shaoqing have a tendency to turn into a villain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu quickly ran through the plot related to Zhang Shaoqing in his mind, and immediately disturbed the atmosphere on the balcony: \"Wen Yang, I've finished washing, you should go take a shower and go to bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Wen Yang was decisive. Realizing that he had stimulated Zhang Shaoqing's emotions, he immediately left along the steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wen Yang entered the house to get a change of clothes, Ning Chu turned to look at Zhang Shaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because he had left an image of a close roommate to Zhang Shaoqing. Facing his questioning gaze, Zhang Shaoqing's lips twitched, hesitating for a moment and then sighed: \"I confessed my love last night and was rejected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the hell would you confess your love to her? Doesn’t you know that, at this moment, she sees you as nothing more than her brother!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu's face darkened in anger, and then said: \"Why– why didn't you tell me in advance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters in a Hentai story should not be viewed with normal people's brain circuits, not to mention the darkness in Zhang Shaoqing's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Zhang Shaoqing's failure to express his love turn him into the dark side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally planned to take Zhang Shaoqing to conquer Ling Ling step by step after the military training, and turn his route into a pure romance one, rather than a hardcore BDSM one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Chu was silent for a moment, and continued to wipe his hair with a towel in distress: \"Don't worry, let's... let's think of a solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried hard to calm down Zhang Shaoqing's impatient mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, Ling Ling doesn't have a boyfriend now, so don't worry about it for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm worried that this guy can't wait any longer and just chooses to drug her and take possession of her like in the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls are never wary of relatives and friends, and should Zhang Shaoqing try to do this, he will most likely succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-10T06:04:14.697Z",1,"novelbin.me","16d1f1c6587a11e1bd393e9641cb1815e734192796a86c7c59c0b0404af9d546","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-24","trapped-in-paradise-chapter-22",471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrapped-in-paradise-cover.jpg"]
