Volume 1 Chapter 11: Taking You to See the World

After the first day of military training, even the physically fit Wen Yang felt a bit tired.

The dormitory was unusually quiet, with Wang Jie already in bed, snoring loudly shortly after 9 p.m. On the other hand, Zhang Shaoqing and Wen Yang were playing games in duos, but they were too lazy to speak. The whole dormitory was filled only with the sound of keyboards and mice clicking.

After taking a shower, Ning Chu put on a set of comfortable silk pajamas and climbed into bed. Although these pajamas had a soft touch and were extremely comfortable to wear, the only problem was that they were thin for summer, making the little red beans on his chest quite conspicuous.

Lying in bed, Ning Chu felt tired but not sleepy. He turned to look at the computer screen opposite, where Zhang Shaoqing was playing games. He tried to pick up some game skills secretly to avoid being called a noob by Wen Yang the next time they played.

He had been in this world for more than a week now, and it seemed that there wasn’t much difference from his initial expectations. There were just a few more cross-dressers, and the girls were prettier, with lighter and more revealing outfits.

It seemed that they were also more proactive?

‘Why hasn’t any girl approached me yet… is it because Wen Yang is the protagonist?’

Ning Chu sighed lightly and buried his face in his pillow.

His peripheral vision glanced at Zhang Shaoqing’s computer screen again, and he saw the victory symbol already appearing on the screen. Afterward, Zhang Shaoqing switched to a video player and leaned forward, propping his head up with one hand, completely absorbed in watching a movie.

The sound coming from the speakers also attracted Wen Yang, who put aside the game and moved his chair next to Zhang Shaoqing. He reminded him, “Lower the volume; Wang Jie is already asleep.”

“Okay.”

Watching movies together was a common activity in the dormitory.

Lying on his side at the head of the bed, Ning Chu glanced at the movie screen a few times.

The exquisite and delicate visuals, the beautiful female lead – the quality of the visuals was so high that one could tell it was a big-budget film at first glance. It instantly caught his eye, and he curiously asked, “What movie is this?”

“Why don’t you come down and watch? What’s with all the questions?”

Zhang Shaoqing crossed his legs and took out a bag of potato chips from the drawer.

“I’m coming down right now!”

Ning Chu eagerly climbed down from his bunk, brought his chair over, and was about to sit down next to Zhang Shaoqing. However, he hesitated and quickly moved to sit next to Wen Yang.

This guy is the villain, and although he seems psychologically healthy for now, it’s safer to sit next to the male lead.

“Why are you avoiding me like this?” Zhang Shaoqing turned his head and muttered, “Are you holding a grudge against the rich? It was fine these past few days, but before, you looked at me like you’d seen a ghost.”

“Yeah, I hold a grudge against the rich!”

“Hey~ then the efforts of two generations of my ancestors, the result of my father and my grandfather’s hard work, why are you not blaming your dad for not working hard enough? Why hold a grudge against me?”

Ning Chu couldn’t be bothered with this twisted logic, and he wasn’t really against the wealthy. He simply turned to the screen and focused on watching the movie.

As they watched the movie, Ning Chu suddenly felt that something was off. Wasn’t this movie a bit too explicit? In the first two minutes, the female lead was already getting intimate with someone, and her clothes were halfway off. There wasn’t even any censorship!

His body unconsciously leaned back, and he felt like an elderly person on the subway watching inappropriate content on their phone. He glanced at the two guys beside him, who seemed to be engrossed in the movie, finding it quite intriguing.

This isn’t just an action movie, is it?

Wen Yang was somewhat reserved, watching silently without saying a word. However, Zhang Shaoqing immediately commented, “Wow, the female lead is really something~ So alluring!”

The movie had reached a critical point, and Ning Chu awkwardly turned his head away, looking towards the dormitory door. But his eyes couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at the screen.

It’s not that he’s interested, but he’s just curious about the differences in the movie industry in this world compared to his previous life.

Hmm… it’s quite vivid and bright.

Ning Chu was having this kind of experience for the first time. In fact, in this lifetime, he had only watched a few of these out of curiosity. As for the likes of Cang, Luo, and other teachers, he had only heard of them, and he hadn’t watched them with others either.

His two roommates beside him made him feel extra self-conscious, and he couldn’t even keep his gaze on the screen for long. Embarrassment had taken over him, and his ears were turning red.

The sound from the speakers was very soft to avoid disturbing Wang Jie, who was already asleep. However, the seductive gasps were still clearly entering Ning Chu’s ears.

He felt an unexpected desire rising, an inexplicable attraction towards Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing. His body temperature was rising, his heart rate was gradually increasing, and his legs involuntarily pressed together, while his hands held onto his lower abdomen with a slight frown.

Something didn’t feel right.

He suddenly yearned for an embrace for no apparent reason. The attraction he felt towards Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing was making him anxious, and he found himself involuntarily rubbing his legs together.

He breathed out softly and suddenly stood up in a panic, rushing out of the dormitory.

“Tsk, look at him, he’s acting like he’s never seen anything before,” Zhang Shaoqing muttered while looking at Ning Chu, who was washing his face on the balcony, “Could he still be a virgin?”

Wen Yang’s smiling face, ready to tease, froze for a moment.

“What’s wrong? Are you too?”

He awkwardly explained, “You see how many girls are chasing me in our class. How could I be like Ning Chu?”

“Oh~” Zhang Shaoqing rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “So, our dormitory has one poor little Ning Chu, but should we take him out to see the world on the weekend?”

“Is that… a good idea?”

“Getting cold feet?”

“I don’t think Ning Chu would want to go, to be honest.”

“Alright, I’ll go if you treat.”

Suddenly hearing Ning Chu’s voice, Wen Yang’s words stumbled to a halt. He turned to look at Ning Chu standing by the balcony door. “Are you really going?”

Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. It’s not that he didn’t know the place, but looking at Ning Chu’s innocent face, he suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt.

“Well, um…”

“You’re probably someone who has never been there yourself,” Ning Chu said sarcastically, snorting through his nose, then turned and climbed onto the bed.

On the one hand, he was genuinely curious about what kind of customs and women he might encounter in this place.

On the other hand, Zhang Shaoqing had a strict upbringing, as set in the book. Before he turned into a villain, daring to go to such a place would likely result in his father breaking his legs.

Ning Chu suspected that this guy had become so psychologically messed up in the book because of his overly strict upbringing.

After climbing onto the bed, Ning Chu couldn’t help but sigh. He turned his face to the wall, curled up his body, and covered his head with the blanket.

He always felt like his life was getting worse and worse…
