Trapped in Paradise

Chapter 104



Chapter 104: 103. Split Three-Seven

“Ning Yang! Ning Yang!”

Ning Chu glared at the cheerleaders led by Lin Li at the other end of the court, instinctively grinding her teeth.

These seductive vixens! It’s just a basketball class! You’d think it was a major competition or something! Why are they all so hyped?

What’s even more infuriating is that the guys on the court, including Wen Yang, are all fired up, pumping out their masculine hormones like there’s no tomorrow.

What was supposed to be a casual basketball game has turned into a fierce competition as everyone tries to show off in front of the girls.

“Should we cheer too? Don’t let them outdo us!”

“Get real, childish.”

Ning Chu leaned back calmly in her chair.

Just then, luck struck Wen Yang, who made a super long-distance shot that swooshed through the hoop, and the cheers went wild. He even waved at the girls with a charming smile.

The squeals got even louder.

Ning Chu’s lips twitched, and her nails dug into her arm.

Alright, alright! So, the male lead is done playing innocent!

He used to look so obedient and sweet on her, and now he’s throwing charm at pretty girls!

As expected of the male lead in a small royal text, hiding a restless heart.

“They’re practically being seduced away…” Yan Xinya murmured, “Are we not going to do anything?”

Ning Chu glared at her, fiddling with her phone: “What does it matter if he gets seduced away?”

If she had to act like a crazy fangirl just to cheer for a guy, she might as well be done for!

Honestly, she wanted to run onto the court and pull Wen Yang away, but half the class was out there. Wouldn’t that just cement the rumors about her trying to monopolize him?

Plus, it’s too embarrassing. She knows it’s for Wen Yang’s virginity, but it would look like she’s just jealous of a guy.

Anyway, Wen Yang is just too spineless.

Ning Chu hesitated and looked over at Wen Wen, who was blending in with the cheerleaders.

What was Wen Wen’s storyline again? Was she proactive or passive? If it were the latter, then she wouldn’t have to worry too much.

Yan Xinya was sizing her up too, the amusement in her eyes growing stronger.

Look at that eager yet affectedly calm look~

“Ning Chu~ Has Wen Yang not confessed to you yet?”

“???”

“Should I help you~?”

“Don’t! No need!” Ning Chu quickly shook her head, “How many times do I have to explain? We’re just roommates!”

Yan Xinya nodded knowingly: “Oh~”

“……” Ning Chu shot her a glare, her attention drifting to the court when she suddenly stood up in shock.

Wen Yang looked a bit tired, passing the ball to a classmate as he prepared to take a break, while the cheerleaders rushed at him with towels and water bottles, like a flock of lovebirds.

He stood there frozen, and Ning Chu was in a panic.

“Xinya! Go! Block those freaks!”

Now is not the time to care about what others think!

If Wen Yang really gets surrounded by these seductive vixens, who knows what would happen!

Especially with a plot side character in the mix!

Yan Xinya’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she nodded vigorously: “Got it!”

As soon as she said that, Wolf Girl dashed out with lightning speed. By the time Ning Chu had run half the distance, she was already by Wen Yang’s side, grabbing his arm and pulling him away.

Ning Chu was stunned for a moment, realizing that two people can’t possibly stop seven or eight seductive vixens. It was indeed time to flee.

But why did Yan Xinya have to be so handy?

This Wolf Girl isn’t just playing innocent; she must be after Wen Yang too!

She hastily tried to keep up, but the pain in her abdomen made it impossible to run. Within half a minute, she could only crouch down holding her belly.

“Ning Chu!”

She turned back to see Lin Li approaching her with a fierce look.

Campus Bully?!

The term immediately put her on edge.

Campus bullies in a small royal text… you don’t even need to think hard to know how steamy it’ll get.

But she’s the one being bullied in this case, and this is still reality.

Anxiously, she searched for Wen Yang, but he had already been dragged away by Yan Xinya.

Lin Li approached her, noticing her pale face, and squatted down with a frown, sniffing the air as if she were a little fox, grinning mischievously: “Aunt Flow got you, huh? That smell is pretty strong.”

“???”

Yan Xinya has a dog’s nose, and you have a fox’s nose, huh?

Ning Chu suddenly realized that Lin Li must have sensed her gender the first time they met at the street stall.

“What do you want?” Though her heart was racing, Ning Chu tried to act calm.

“Just wanted to discuss something~”

“Not a chance!”

“Wen Yang’s candid photos, ten bucks a piece! If you want something steamy, twenty!”

“……”

Lin Li glanced nervously at the cheerleaders behind her and whispered, “Let’s make money together! I think this project has potential! I sell the photos, and we split it three-seven. How about it?”

“I’m the president of Wen Yang’s cheer squad! I can help you secure your position as the main one! Want me to make a list of dangerous characters?”

“Would be even better if you were willing to share Wen Yang with me~”

So, people not part of the storyline? They’re completely unpredictable in what they might do around her.

Lin Li used to be a side character, but her storyline has gone off the rails. As someone with serious jealousy issues, her actions all make sense…

Ning Chu stared blankly at her: “Can anyone really buy them?”

“Of course not! Just tidy it up and turn it into a photo collection! I’ll buy a ton!”

Turns out, you just want them for yourself.

While the idea of free money tempted Ning Chu, she wasn’t lacking cash. Lin Li’s little scheme was nowhere near enough to betray Wen Yang.

“Cheer squad?”

With Lin Li’s help, she stood up.

“More like a club! I’m the president.” Lin Li bragged, raising her nose, “In just a month, we already have over ten members!”

“……” Ning Chu held her belly, pursing her lips to avoid more interaction, “I have things to do.”

“Let’s add each other as friends~ We can negotiate~”

“Sure.”

Things just felt so inexplicably odd…

Ning Chu sighed deeply and slowly walked out of the basketball court, colliding right into Wen Yang, who was anxiously rushing in.

“Are you okay?” Wen Yang hurried to her side, scanning from head to toe, relieved when he saw she wasn’t hurt, “I thought you got bullied. You scared me.”

Yan Xinya peeked out from behind him, jokingly flashing a peace sign at Ning Chu.

Ning Chu rolled her eyes at them: “I’m not going to get bullied by girls.”

“What about you! That three-pointer was impressive, huh? So cool~”

Hearing the teasing tone, Wen Yang’s face stiffened, and he awkwardly turned his head, muttering, “Having the audience cheer is normal when you’re excited to play…”

“Is it?”

“Yes!”
