Volume 1 Chapter 4: Every Man Would Choose!
Dragging two drunkards, the group of four finally returned to the dormitory.
Ning Chu, unlike his previous lively self outside, sat in front of the computer with a stern face. As usual, he clicked the mouse on web pages randomly, remaining silent for a while without speaking.
All signs indicated that in this world, he played the role of the girl hiding in the boys’ dormitory. If the plot followed the novel’s development, he was destined to be devoured by the male lead and the antagonist.
But he was a man…
Without a system, a witch, a black cat, and without gender identity disorders that would prompt him to undergo surgery in Thailand, could he suddenly turn into a girl overnight on the eve of the plot’s development?
Although this world also had magical creatures like catgirls and succubi, the few magical elements available seemed to be used for other purposes!
Ning Chu fell into contemplation, while Wen Yang, after settling the two intoxicated individuals, looked worriedly at the slender figure in front of the computer.
Why did he suddenly look gloomy on the way back and then start brooding when they arrived at the dormitory?
Wen Yang scratched his head, suspecting that his words unintentionally touched Ning Chu’s fragile inner self.
But he just asked about the brand of Ning Chu’s shower gel.
Could it be that wasn’t the scent of shower gel?
His gaze followed Ning Chu’s profile, scanning from head to toe.
“Why are you staring at me?” Ning Chu suddenly raised his head, questioning with an unfriendly expression.
“I was just looking at your sudden change in mood…”
“No, it’s just some personal matters.”
“Speak up, maybe I can help you?”
His eyes lit up, feeling somewhat moved. However, after a brief hesitation, he lowered his head, shaking it slightly as a sign of refusal. “Forget it.”
Ning Chu almost wanted to spill the entire plot of the novel.
But then he thought about it. His current advantage in this world was the knowledge of the plot. If he informed Wen Yang about it, the subsequent developments would become completely unpredictable.
Who knows how Wen Yang would react to knowing the plot. He might get overly excited.
Currently, he could prepare for the future plot and try to avoid the fate of becoming a girl and getting devoured by the male lead and the antagonist.
Wen Yang didn’t pay much attention to Ning Chu’s refusal. After all, they had only been roommates for two weeks.
He stretched lazily, yawning as a reminder, “We have military training tomorrow; let’s go to bed early tonight.”
“Okay.”
Glancing at Ning Chu’s absent-minded expression, he knew his words weren’t really being heard.
Wen Yang walked to the wardrobe, took out a pair of boxers to use as pajamas, and was about to head to the bathroom for a shower when he heard a light knocking on the door.
He casually opened the door, but his expression suddenly froze.
“Ling— Ling Ling? How did you come here?”
“I came to find you to hang out~” The girl with cat ears on her head rushed into the room as soon as the door opened. She hugged Wen Yang’s arm, “Let’s go, let’s go~ Didn’t the dormitory gathering end?!”
“No, how did you get up here?”
“I jumped over the wall!” The girl proudly tilted her head, and the cat ears on her head swayed gently, cute and charming.
Wen Yang looked embarrassed, torn between early military training the next day and his girlfriend’s invitation. Just as he was being pulled out of the room,
Suddenly, shouts came from inside the room.
“Wen Yang, we agreed to play duo tonight.”
Turning around, he saw Ning Chu already wearing a refreshing smile, “I’ve never played before, still a newbie. You have to teach me how to fly.”
His heart had already tightened. He thought the first chapter’s plot had ended, but he didn’t expect this girl named Ling Ling to directly show up at the door!
Well, in the plot, this girl pursued Wen Yang actively, a bold and fierce girl…
And she was also a catgirl! Why isn’t the male lead me? I’m so jealous!
“Huh?” Wen Yang looked at him in confusion, “Did we agree to play duo?”
“We did!”
Ning Chu nervously stared at Wen Yang, wanting to see if, for this man, the game was more important or the catgirl.
Clearly, it was the latter! She’s a catgirl!
Wen Yang looked again at the catgirl Ling Ling, with her gently swaying cat ears, watery eyes filled with pleading, and he could still feel the soft curve belonging to Ling Ling on his arm…
On the other hand, there was the usually introverted roommate asking him to play a game together.
Any man would know how to choose!
“How about next time?” Wen Yang’s choice left both Ning Chu and Ling Ling stunned.
After a while, Ling Ling reacted. She pouted, and her cat ears drooped on her head. “Why like this~”
“We have military training tomorrow. It’s too late to go out to play.”
“Besides, my roommates drank too much. Look, they’re still lying on the ground. What should I do if I leave them like this?”
Ling Ling glanced at the ground, and her cat ears suddenly perked up. “Eh! Brother Shaoqing is in the same dorm as you? How did he drink so much?”
“Do you know him?”
“We grew up together!”
Seeing that Shaoqing got drunk, Ling Ling became much more accommodating. Before leaving, she pulled Wen Yang and kept advising, “Why did you let Brother Shaoqing lie on the ground? Make sure he goes to bed later…”
Watching this couple leave the dormitory while talking, Ning Chu’s lips twitched, almost bursting into laughter.
Luckily, Wen Yang, for now, wasn’t the scumbag protagonist who accepts anyone. Faced with the girl’s active invitation, he remained indifferent and chose to play the game.
Perfect!
In about ten minutes, Wen Yang returned, shaking his head and sighing, “Women are really troublesome.”
“How wonderful~” Ning Chu’s tone was full of envy and jealousy.
He also wanted to find a catgirl as a girlfriend in the future~
“What’s so good? We’ve only known each other for two days.” Wen Yang grumbled as he sat at the computer, “We just held hands. Suddenly she’s so proactive; it scared me.”
He looked back at the still-drunk Shaoqing on the ground, puzzled, “Is this a coincidence? Shaoqing and Ling Ling grew up together?”
“Yeah, quite a coincidence.”
Ning Chu nodded expressionlessly.
If Zhang Shaoqing and Ling Ling weren’t childhood friends, and he didn’t worry about Zhang Shaoqing turning into a villain after Ling Ling’s pursuit, he wouldn’t have tried so hard to prevent the plot from unfolding.
Knowing the role he played had intimate connections with both the male lead and the antagonist, he added a reminder, ‘I think it’s better not to tell Zhang Shaoqing about Ling Ling. After all, they are childhood friends…’
“Okay, I’ll take a shower first, and then we’ll play duo together.”
Ning Chu’s expression stiffened, and he glanced at the game icon on the computer desktop, showing a puzzled and hesitant expression.
The problem was, he had never played the game in this world before.
