Lately, the line between friendship and something more had been blurring. He wanted to maintain some distance from Wen Yang.

But he couldn’t think of an alternative solution.

“……”

After a moment of silence, Wen Yang’s eyes returned to Ning Chu.

Suddenly, he asked, “Shaoqing is still asleep, can you tell me… are you a boy or a girl?”

The direct question left Ning Chu stunned.

When he regained his senses, he immediately shook his head in denial, “I’m a boy!”

Wen Yang felt a wave of disappointment but still asked, a bit disbelieving, “Really?”

“Yes! A man!”

Ning Chu replied firmly.

But Wen Yang’s skeptical eyes showed he still doubted his gender.

Ning Chu looked down at his body.

Yeah, there’s not a single sign of masculinity!

He fell into deep thought.

Should he just take off his pants and show Wen Yang his little worm?

It’s small, but it’s still there.

But what if Wen Yang got the wrong idea and pounced on him?

Seeing Ning Chu not continuing to argue, Wen Yang gave a helpless smile, pulled a chair over, and decided to have a heart-to-heart.

“Actually, I don’t mind you keeping an eye on me, controlling me… I’ve already explained why. I’m afraid of being deceived. If I get cheated out of money, I can’t eat this month. If my feelings are hurt, that’s even worse.”

“Hmm?” Ning Chu didn’t understand why he was suddenly so serious.

“I’m not in a hurry to find a girlfriend. After all, I look decent, and some girls in school like me.”

Decent? Some?

Ning Chu jealously pursed his lips.

With Wen Yang’s looks, if he walked around the girls’ dormitory area, he’d get a bunch of screams.

Not to mention the girls chasing him, there’d be dozens, if not hundreds, considering the storyline.

“But the problem is…” Wen Yang’s words halted. His face no longer showed embarrassment but turned a deep red, as if he couldn’t bear to say it.

“Don’t stop halfway.”

Under Ning Chu’s curious urging, Wen Yang lowered his head guiltily.

If he honestly said he had wet dreams about Ning Chu, would this friendship continue? Ning Chu might see him as a pervert, right?

Although it was quite perverted…

“The problem is my family urges me to get married, saying my middle and high school classmates are already married, and I don’t even have a girlfriend.”

Ning Chu could clearly sense Wen Yang’s evasion.

He furrowed his brows deeply, scrutinizing Wen Yang’s blushing face and evasive eyes.

Looking at his fidgety fingers, shaking legs, and occasional hair-scratching, he seemed guilty and sweaty, clearly lying.

An idea made Ning Chu’s heart beat faster.

He looks like a shy virgin about to confess to his crush!

Damn!

I thought it was just fondness! Could it be he likes me?

What do I have over those girls chasing him? At best, my looks are on par, with a baby face that looks underage. My figure is flat!

His almond eyes widened, instinctively leaning back to distance himself from Wen Yang.

If this guess is true! He might have to run away tonight!
