LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Library
The school’s library is located on the top floor of the teaching building, taking up the entire floor.
Since the start of school, this is Ning Chu’s first time here.
After getting a borrowing card at the front desk with his student ID, he curiously looked around, following Wen Yang into the towering shelves of books.
Libraries are also hotspots for “Small Royal Text” plots…
Public, quiet, and with few people, the library’s appearance rate in “training” doujin and anime novels is not low.
Ning Chu’s own book has similar plots: the protagonist and his current girlfriend seeking excitement, bringing along some little toys to the library for a shameful mini-game.
But he wasn’t too worried about triggering a plot in the library, after all, Wen Yang doesn’t have a girlfriend at all.
This little virgin currently doesn’t have the courage to do such things.
During lunch, there weren’t many students in the library, just a few scattered around.
“So many books…” Upon arriving, Ning Chu unconsciously lowered his voice, scanning the shelves and mumbling, “Are there no novels? It’s all reference books.”
“Maybe in another area?”
The two aimlessly wandered between the shelves, finding a colorful variety of books; besides all kinds of reference materials, novels, magazines, and comics could also be found. Ning Chu even spotted some BL and even a “Small Royal Uncle.”
I must say, the quality of these doujins is top-notch~
But Ning Chu, at this moment, is completely uninterested in such things. Whether it’s due to hormones or a lack of physical progress, this once self-entertained LSP has nearly become a monk.
In the last two months, he only felt hot in his body twice, and could quickly suppress it with logic.
Wen Yang picked out a history book, staying put as he flipped through it.
“Going to eat… so hungry…” Ning Chu, feeling bored, nagged beside him, “Let’s go, there’s nothing to see, what’s so interesting about a history book?”
“I’m interested in this.” Wen Yang looked up at him, who was bored, and jokingly suggested, “Why not you go back first?”
“Then I’ll stay.”
“Don’t worry, if a girl comes to find me, I’ll run.”
A man’s words cannot be trusted!
Wen Yang had been acting obediently before but ended up nearly getting his house stolen when he went out to play basketball! This time, even with Wen Yang’s promise, Ning Chu wouldn’t be foolish enough to leave.
He knows it’s easy for men to get carried away when they see pretty girls.
So, Ning Chu casually grabbed a history book, wanting to compare the history of this “Small Royal Text” world with the world he came from.
Hmm, this is giving me a headache… just looking at the table of contents made him put the book down.
Why come here to read when he could just search online?
Seeing that Wen Yang was engrossed in his book, Ning Chu sighed softly and slowly made his way to the novel area.
Novels are where the fun is.
So, when Wen Yang flipped through a few pages and looked up, he found that Ning Chu had already vanished.
He returned the book to the shelf and focused on another book of interest. Just as he reached for it, a pair of slender fingers appeared from the other side, reaching for the same book.
Wen Yang was startled; the idol-drama-like coincidence surprised him. He turned and saw the owner of those fingers—a tall girl in a snow-white dress with a cold expression.
This is…
As the class leader, Wen Yang quickly recalled her name.
Lily, the only succubus in class, 36D, the ice beauty.
Succubi are rarely seen, often rumored to be all seduction, but Lily treats everyone coldly, always keeping her small face rigid and distant.
The contrast between rumors and reality made her highly popular in class and widely discussed, ranking alongside Wen Yang as the class bloom.
In a while, when they both stand out at school, they’ll probably be promoted to school beauty and school heartthrob.
“Give it to me.” Lily coldly met Wen Yang’s gaze, “I want to read first.”
Her voice was particularly chilly, devoid of any emotion.
“Here you go, here you go.”
Wen Yang didn’t hesitate to yield, picking up the previous book again and turning to leave the bookshelf area.
Just last night, he promised Ning Chu not to socialize with girls; he definitely didn’t want to see that pitiful figure hiding under the covers crying.
That look was just like a little wife finding out her husband cheated.
Having only walked a few steps out of the history section, Ning Chu approached him with a fantasy novel in hand.
“Picked properly? Let’s hurry and eat!”
The moment he saw Ning Chu, Wen Yang’s eyes began to dodge uncontrollably, as if just talking to a girl was a crime. He pretended to be casual as he looked at the library desk: “Okay, I’ll go handle the borrowing procedures first.”
“I also found a book!” Ning Chu raised the novel in his hand, “I think the setting is interesting, and the writing style is light and funny.”
What’s up with that bragging tone?
It’s like a kid who hurriedly ran to buy a toy just because a friend got a new one.
Wen Yang couldn’t help but smile, nodding in agreement: “Just by the title, it sounds interesting. Let me borrow it tonight.”
“Just don’t break it, do we have to pay for borrowing?”
“Nope, but you can only borrow one at a time.” Wen Yang approached the desk, registered his information, and suggested, “Let’s come back to the library this weekend? There are plenty of books, I bet we won’t finish them in college years.”
“Well… that works too!”
Compared to going out shopping, working part-time, or playing basketball—activities that obviously require socializing—the library has almost no social aspect.
Moreover, seductive vixens usually don’t hang out in libraries, so Wen Yang was clearly safe here.
After borrowing the book and leaving the library, Ning Chu still felt uneasy, scanning the surroundings before reminding, “If we’re coming to read this weekend, make sure to be back before six in the evening.”
“Hmm? Why?”
Because I’m afraid you, a little virgin, would get drained by a ghost! The protagonists in books have fought so many battles and nearly lost to female ghosts!
“Because… didn’t we say the teaching building is haunted at night?”
Wen Yang shook his head, amused: “Didn’t we just walk around? It’s only those couples making noise, where are the ghosts?”
“I…” Not being believed when he spoke the truth, Ning Chu had to change his excuse, “I’m afraid of the dark, it’s pitch black everywhere outside the library at night.”
This reason fit too well with his delicate appearance, making Wen Yang accept it without a second thought and even proactively speculate: “No wonder you always don’t like going out at night.”
After a rebellious moment and nearly getting tricked again, Wen Yang clearly became a lot more compliant with Ning Chu.
This made Ning Chu feel both happy and troubled.
Wen Yang’s fondness for him seems to be rising steadily again!
