Look on the bright side: Wen Yang just happened to be out buying something.

But when Ning Chu thought back to the bar storyline that had kicked off in the cafeteria, his expression darkened.

He’d managed to interrupt that storyline for now, but those girls still hadn’t lost patience with Wen Yang. They were like lions lying in wait in the grass, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.

Put yourself in his shoes. If Ning Chu were a little tipsy at a bar, with two twin sisters actively trying to seduce him...

Even the most self-controlled person wouldn’t be able to resist!

But he could. At most, his thoughts might wander a little. After all, his weapon had already fallen into disrepair.

“What am I supposed to do...” Ning Chu frowned in frustration, sitting in front of the computer and bouncing his leg nonstop. “If the storyline keeps going, I’m definitely going to be in trouble too.”

Once Wen Yang got a taste of that sort of thing, there was no way he’d stay so well-behaved.

Why couldn’t he keep it in his pants?!

Unease was written all over Ning Chu’s face. He sat still for a moment, then couldn’t help getting up to go look for Wen Yang. But after only a couple of steps, he turned back and paced anxiously around the dorm.

Wang Jie had just finished a game. He turned around, took in Ning Chu’s anxious expression, and couldn’t help asking, “You need Wen Yang for something? Why not call him?”

“Yeah. It’s kind of urgent.”

Call him...

Ning Chu glanced at the phone on his desk, tempted. But thinking it over, if he tried to control Wen Yang as a roommate, then no matter how much he claimed it was for Wen Yang’s own good, he’d eventually get hated for it.

Even when parents tried to control their kids for too long, all they got in return was rebellion.

But if he did nothing and let those twin sisters have their way with Wen Yang...

Wen Yang might have a happy, fulfilling night, but Ning Chu would be the one to suffer later.

Ning Chu hesitated, then sat down and stared at the computer screen with a deep frown.

Damn it! They say authors treat the protagonists they write like their own children. So what’s wrong with being a little strict with Wen Yang as his dad?!

Better to be hated than to get screwed!

He quickly opened WeChat and sent Wen Yang a tactfully worded message: “I put your clothes in the washing machine. Where’d you run off to? Grab them when you come upstairs.”

The first and last parts of that message were meaningless. The middle part was all Ning Chu really wanted to say.

“Ning Chu, I’m going to take a shower.” Wang Jie yawned and stretched. “Looks like it’ll just be the two of us keeping each other company tonight~”

Like hell I want to keep you company!

“Too bad Shaoqing isn’t here. Otherwise, I’d make him buy us a late-night snack...” Holding his clothes, he headed for the bathroom, rolling his shoulders like an old man.

“Mm-hmm.”

Ning Chu gave Wang Jie a distracted response, his eyes fixed on WeChat as he waited for Wen Yang to reply. But no reply came.

This is bad! This is really bad!

There’s no way this guy’s already gotten things underway less than half an hour after leaving, right?

He anxiously called Wen Yang, but even after several minutes, there was still no answer.

Clutching his phone, Ning Chu slumped over the desk, utterly hopeless. The nerves he’d kept taut like a string finally went slack.

Forget it. I’m giving up~

Why couldn’t this guy keep it in his pants?!

Staring blankly at the desk, he felt exhausted in both body and mind. More than a week of effort had gone up in smoke.

“He is the protagonist of a smutty webnovel, after all. How could he possibly control himself...” Ning Chu sighed ruefully. “I should’ve used more drastic measures.”

Like kidnapping Wen Yang outright! Tying him up in the basement!

If he just kept Wen Yang from going anywhere, how could the storyline progress? Then he wouldn’t have to spend every day worrying himself sick!

Or wait for a dark, moonless night and take a knife to Wen Yang’s dick!

Castrate him on the spot! Put an end to all future trouble!

Or slip some hormones into Wen Yang’s water and chemically destroy his balls!

Wang Jie was done showering in just a few minutes. He pushed open the door and walked in, bare-chested and looking pleased with himself—until the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He instinctively looked toward Ning Chu at the desk. A chill ran down his back and his scalp prickled, as if he’d just seen a devil about to be born.

The malice practically radiated off Ning Chu.

“Hey, hey, hey! What kind of evil thing are you thinking about?” Wang Jie stepped closer and leaned over to look at Ning Chu’s smiling face, waving a hand in front of his eyes. “What’re you spacing out for?”

Ning Chu finally snapped back to his senses. He hurriedly shook his head, trying to clear all those wicked thoughts from it. “It’s nothing.”

“Nothing? You were just grinning like a total pervert.”

“Was I?!”

He shot Wang Jie a glare, then listlessly slumped back down. “Forget it. I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”

“Hey!”

Wang Jie had only taken a couple of steps when Ning Chu suddenly cried out behind him. He turned around and saw Ning Chu clutching his phone and darting out onto the balcony, delight and relief written all over his face.

“What’s with him? He’s so jumpy.”

Out on the balcony, Ning Chu held his phone and glanced at the incoming call notification. He eagerly hovered his thumb over the answer button, then suddenly froze.

If he sounded too eager, Wen Yang might start getting the wrong idea.

He gave a small cough and tried to steady himself before nervously answering the call. “Hell-o?”

“What did you need me for?”

Faintly, he could hear a thumping DJ track and the noisy cheers of a crowd in the background.

Ning Chu’s heart sank. This was the worst-case scenario.

Wen Yang really hadn’t resisted temptation. He’d gone to a bar with those twin sisters.

Next, he’d get a little tipsy. Somewhere in a private room at the bar, the twins would tease and seduce him. In the end, the alcohol and his dick would overpower his brain, and he’d start a three-person ranked grind.

“Y-Your end sounds really noisy.”

Ning Chu had already guessed that Wen Yang wouldn’t be able to keep his virginity with all those girls tempting him. Still, when he thought of how a whole week of effort had gone up in smoke, he couldn’t help feeling dejected.

“I’m at a bar. It’s so loud my ears hurt. I didn’t notice my phone earlier, but I’ve come outside now.” Wen Yang’s voice was still as deep and husky as ever, rich and magnetic. He spoke in his usual unhurried way, then complained, “The drinks here are seriously expensive. I didn’t dare take a single sip. I feel like I came to the bar just to sit in jail.”

“Huh?”

You didn’t drink?! Does that mean they haven’t had their way with you yet?

“Anyway, why’d you call me?”

“I-I was just asking where you went. I also wanted you to grab your clothes when you came upstairs.” Ning Chu quickly came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, he asked cautiously, “When are you coming back?”

“Now. I’m outside the bar waiting for a ride.”

“Really?!” Delighted, he couldn’t help raising his voice. “Th-Then what about the girls who went with you? You’re leaving them there?”

Wen Yang paused, a little embarrassed, then stammered out an explanation. “The girls... Well, they wanted to get me drunk. I suspect they’re bar promoters trying to scam me into buying drinks. I don’t have much money, either... You know how there’ve been a lot of stories about this lately. I’ve only got a little over a hundred yuan on me.”

Of course, he couldn’t admit that he’d chickened out. Ning Chu would definitely make fun of him.

“Pfft!”

Ning Chu burst out laughing, his eyes curving into crescents with joy.

A virgin protagonist who’d never gotten a taste of the good stuff might be pretty lewd, but he was a coward~
