Trapped in Paradise Chapter 156

In the afternoon, Wen Yang was about to leave for his tutoring job as usual. Just as his hand was on the doorknob, he hesitated, turning back uneasily.

Leaving Ning Chu alone in the dorm with Zhang Shaoqing…

Although his relationship with Zhang Shaoqing was decent—this rich second-generation kid was generous and a bit immature, often acting carefree—Wen Yang still couldn't feel at ease. What if that guy made a move on Ning Chu?

"Ning Chu.

"Yeah?"

"Xinya asked if you'd like to hang out this afternoon."

"She did?"

Ning Chu turned to look at Wen Yang, only to be pierced by the possessiveness radiating from his eyes.

Oh my gosh!

For the first ti, Wen Yang's possessiveness toward her was laid bare and completely unhidden.

She restrained Wen Yang only to avoid punishnts, but Wen Yang’s possessiveness felt like it might crush her!

Wen Yang glanced at Zhang Shaoqing again, his gaze resembling that of a protective pup guarding its food.

"Co on, it’s on my way."

Reluctantly, Ning Chu got up, slipping on her flip-flops to leave.

Even though she knew being alone with Zhang Shaoqing could be risky, Wen Yang's suffocating possessiveness was even more alarming...

"Hey! Ning Chu, bring a bottle of green tea when you co back!" Zhang Shaoqing yelled without looking up, his eyes glued to the screen. "I'll transfer you the money after this round!"

"Got it."

Once outside, Ning Chu deliberately slowed her pace, trailing behind Wen Yang. She suddenly realized she had forgotten to bring a jacket.

"Wen Yang, give your jacket."

"Sure." Wen Yang took off his jacket without hesitation and handed it to her.

The temperature had dropped to just above ten degrees Celsius after last night's rain, and Wen Yang shivered slightly as soon as he removed his jacket. He turned to Ning Chu, but she avoided his gaze, looking sowhat cautious.

"Here, wear this one."

"It won't fit ..."

After walking only a few steps, Wen Yang turned back to grab another windbreaker.

"I’ll walk you to the girls’ dormitory."

"Okay."

Wen Yang slowed his pace, walking alongside Ning Chu as if taking a leisurely stroll.

"Be careful in the dorm, alright?"

"I know."

Ning Chu decided that whenever Wen Yang left, she would imdiately hide under the covers. That way, she could avoid exposing herself during sudden punishnts, just like today.

Wen Yang, still uneasy, suggested, "How about this: you rent a place off-campus, or figure out a way to move back into the girls’ dorm?"

"No money..."

As for moving back to the girls' dorm, Ning Chu’s academic records still listed her as male. Changing her registered gender would undoubtedly be a hassle.

"I’ll think of sothing. Save up a bit." Wen Yang paused and asked curiously, "By the way, how does your family feel about you living in a male dorm?"

Ning Chu stiffened.

To this day, she hadn’t dared to tell anyone about her forr gender—not even Wen Yang, who only assud she was an original, unaltered succubus.

The truth was, she had started developing and turning into a girl right under Wen Yang’s nose.

"Uh... I'll ask next ti I go ho."

Not wanting to delve into family matters, Ning Chu turned her head and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I’ll find Xinya on my own. If you go near the girls’ dorm, you’ll get sward by admirers again."

"Fair enough."

So many troubleso issues.

At least until winter break, Ning Chu didn’t have to think too much about her family. Watching Wen Yang’s figure disappear toward the school gate, she pulled Wen Yang’s jacket tighter around her, lowered her head, and quickly walked toward the girls’ dorm.

Technically, the school prohibited boys and girls from visiting each other’s dorms, but in practice, enforcent was lax. Girls often wandered the boys’ dorms openly, and Ning Chu, with her youthful and pretty face, strode into the girls’ dormitory without any trouble.

"Hey! Ning Chu!"

Just as she stepped into the hallway, a voice called out from behind her.

Her footsteps faltered. Caught red-handed by a classmate?

Feeling a little guilty, she turned back to see a girl who had left a decent impression on her.

During military training, this girl had brought Wen Yang plum juice a few tis. Unlike the female supporting characters in the hentai story who aggressively pursued Wen Yang, she had quietly admired him from afar—a rare, innocent crush in this overly dramatic setting.

"You..." Ning Chu struggled to recall the girl’s na. "Chen Xue?"

The na wasn’t hard to rember. Ning Chu had unintentionally noted it during roll calls in class.

"What are you doing in the girls’ dorm?" Chen Xue asked suspiciously, her tone sharp.

The accusatory tone made Ning Chu nervous. She stamred, pointing toward Xinya’s room. "I’m here to see Xinya and Lily..."

"Really?"

Chen Xue scrutinized him.

His delicate, charming face looked youthful, but the slightly upturned curve of his eyes and the faint blush at their corners added a touch of allure. He wore a jacket that reached past his hips, with a black cotton long-sleeve underneath. His anxious fidgeting revealed faint curves at his chest.

His long legs, snugly wrapped in denim, showed soft lines. His thighs were pressed together in nervous tension, creating a nearly triangular gap between them.

Chen Xue glanced down at her own flat chest and felt a pang of jealousy.

A guy is prettier than —and even has a better figure.

"It probably wasn’t you," Chen Xue muttered.

"Huh?"

"You’re too pretty. You wouldn’t be the one stealing underwear, right?"

What?!

There’s a pervert stealing underwear from the girls’ dorm?!

And now I look like I’m here to turn myself in?!

Ning Chu froze in place, her expression stiffening as she darted nervous glances around.

Her obvious anxiety seed to clear her of suspicion. Chen Xue muttered as she walked toward Xinya’s dorm, explaining, "Xinya’s dorm is a pri target. They’ve had several pieces stolen recently."

A light knock brought an imdiate response from inside.

"Coming!"

The wolf-girl opened the door slightly, peeked out, and, upon spotting Ning Chu and Chen Xue, swung it wide open. Her tail wagged enthusiastically as she pounced on Ning Chu.

"You actually ca to visit today!" Her nose almost touched Ning Chu’s face as she sniffed twice before greeting her. "Morning!"

"It’s already noon..."

Although Ning Chu understood this was a canine trait, she still leaned back slightly in discomfort.

Xinya grabbed Ning Chu’s arm and smiled at Chen Xue. "What are you two doing together?"

"He’s a guy. I was keeping an eye on him in case he’s the underwear thief."

Chen Xue eyed the two of them, but their close interaction seed more like sisters or best friends, not a couple.

"Impossible! Even Lin Li’s more suspicious than him!" Xinya dragged Ning Chu into the room, calling to Chen Xue, "Since you’re here, join us! Lily’s cooking!"

"Cooking?"

Ning Chu glanced toward the balcony, where she spotted Lily frying sothing on a portable stove.

A dostic succubus?

But this is still a dormitory! Are you even allowed to cook inside the room?
