“What’s the situation now?”

Ning Chu paced anxiously around the dorm, muttering to himself.

He glanced at his phone from time to time, hoping for a reply from Wen Yang.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to chase after them, but his short legs wouldn’t get him far. He would only slow them down.

“There are so many hotels near the school. Shaoqing might not run into them.”

“But what if he really catches them in bed…”

Zhang Shaoqing would be the third wheel.

The term didn’t seem quite right, but Ning Chu didn’t want to quibble over details.

He kept muttering as he paced around the dorm.

“It’s taken so much effort to get Wen Yang sorted, and now Shaoqing has a problem.”

“If he really turns dark…”

Recalling the antagonist actions in the plot, Ning Chu couldn’t help but shiver.

“Maybe I should just leave now? Even if I don’t go to school, working in a factory would still allow me to live comfortably.”

Which protagonist in a time-travel novel had it this bad?

Not everyone gets a yacht, beauties, and wealth, but working in a factory? Come on!

“And this world is quite dangerous…”

Although the hentai world maintained a semblance of societal order, the chances of encountering a pervert were higher here.

Plus, some settings originally intended for fanservice could lead to terrible outcomes for Ning Chu if he randomly encountered someone and ended up getting used.

If it was half a month ago, when he encountered the situation that Zhang Shaoqing was very likely to turn dark, he would definitely rush out regardless of the consequences, instead of handing Zhang Shaoqing over to Wen Yang like he is doing now.

Before he could think further, he heard footsteps in the hallway.

Ning Chu hurriedly opened the door and peeked outside.

He saw Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing returning, with Wen Yang in the lead.

“Nothing happened?!”

Ning Chu rushed out of the room and stood in front of Zhang Shaoqing, his face tense with worry as he asked, “How did it go? What’s the situation?”

“…”

Wen Yang turned back and explained, “We didn’t run into them. He contacted Lingling, but she didn’t reply.”

That’s good, that’s good~

Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

He observed Zhang Shaoqing’s expressionless face, which seemed devoid of emotion, and followed the two back into the dorm.

Zhang Shaoqing still said nothing.

He silently sat down at the computer, and Ning Chu shuffled over to Wen Yang, tiptoeing to whisper in his ear. “His state seems very bad. What should we do?”

The voice was so soft that Wen Yang, confused, leaned closer to Ning Chu’s lips.

“He’s in a bad state…”

“Yeah, it’s understandable. How could he be in a good mood after his first love was stolen?”

“But the problem is he’s not talking, not crying or acting out. He just sits there, which is really scary.”

The soft feminine scent in Ning Chu’s breath as he spoke made Wen Yang glance at the close-up rosy lips and teeth, then look towards Zhang Shaoqing.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I’ll order two boxes of beer for him. Maybe drinking a bit will help him let it out.”

“Yes, yes, order quickly!”

Ning Chu nodded eagerly.

He hoped that the care and comfort from his roommates, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, would help Zhang Shaoqing release his pent-up frustrations.

Otherwise, his turning into the dark was inevitable!

He now missed the cheeky, brash, yellow-haired rich kid.

Wen Yang reluctantly started ordering takeout, glancing at Ning Chu from time to time. “I’ve never seen anyone care so much about a roommate.”

“We’re all friends~”

“But we’ve only known each other for just over a month.”

It might make sense for friends who’ve known each other for years, but they’d only been in the dorm for just over a month.
