## 011. Let’s Show You the World!
The first day of military training had come to an end, and even Wen Yang, who had the best physical condition, was feeling a bit worn out.
In the rare quiet of the dormitory, Wang Jie had tucked himself in bed early, snoring loudly just after nine. Zhang Shaoqing and Wen Yang were busy gaming in their double beds, but neither felt like chatting. The only sounds echoing through the dorm were the furious clicking of keyboards and mice.
After her shower, Ning Chu slipped into her ice silk pajamas and crawled into bed.
The fabric was soft to the touch and fit snugly, making it incredibly comfy. The only downside was that summer pajamas tended to be a bit thin, making the little red beans on her chest quite the eye-catcher.
Lying in bed, she felt exhausted but wasn’t really sleepy. She turned to sneak a peek at Zhang Shaoqing’s computer screen, trying to pick up some gaming tips to avoid being called “noob” next time she played with Wen Yang.
It had been over a week since she arrived in this world. Contrary to the chaotic scenes she had imagined, things here weren’t that different from her previous life.
Sure, there were more cute girls around, and they dressed more revealingly.
And maybe they were a bit more proactive?
Why wasn’t any girl coming up to me… Is it because Wen Yang is the main character?
Ning Chu sighed, burying her face in her pillow.
Her peripheral vision caught Zhang Shaoqing’s screen lighting up with a victory sign. He then switched to a video player, propping his chin on his hand as he leaned forward, completely engrossed in the movie.
The sounds from the speakers caught Wen Yang’s attention. He paused his game, shifting his chair to sit next to Zhang Shaoqing, reminding him, “Keep it down, Wang Jie is asleep.”
“Got it.”
It was movie-watching time!
A common activity in the dormitory.
Nestled against her bed’s headboard, Ning Chu stole a few glances at the movie screen.
The visuals were exquisite, with a stunning female protagonist; you could tell it was a big-budget film, instantly grabbing her attention. Curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, “What’s this movie?”
“Just come and watch it, no need for questions.”
Zhang Shaoqing propped his legs up and ripped open a bag of chips.
“Coming right up!”
Ning Chu bolted out of bed, grabbed her chair, and almost sat next to Zhang Shaoqing before stopping herself. She quickly moved to sit next to Wen Yang instead.
After all, that guy was the villain. Though he seemed mentally stable at the moment, it felt safer to sit by the male protagonist.
“Why do you hate me so much?” Zhang Shaoqing pouted, turning to face her. “What, are you classist or something? You were fine earlier, but when I’m around, it’s like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“Yep, I’m classist!”
“Hey, with two generations of hard work from my dad and grandpa, you should be blaming your dad for not working harder, not me!”
Ning Chu ignored this twisted logic; she wasn’t actually classist. Instead, she focused on the screen, eager to watch the movie.
But as she watched, something felt off.
Wasn’t this movie a little too audacious? Within the first two minutes, the female lead was already getting all touchy-feely, half her clothes off!
No censorship at all?!
She instinctively leaned back, feeling like an elderly person on the subway watching someone on their phone, glancing at the two next to her, who were engrossed in the scene.
Wow, this can’t possibly be an action movie, right?
Wen Yang was a bit more reserved, watching silently, but Zhang Shaoqing was commenting like a film critic: “Wow, this actress is fantastic~ So juicy!”
As the movie reached a critical moment, Ning Chu awkwardly turned her head away, her gaze darting to the dormitory door, but her eyes couldn’t resist sneaking peeks at the screen.
It wasn’t perverse; she was just curious about how different the movie industry was in this world compared to her old one.
Hmm… really big and white.
This was the first time she had any experience like this. In fact, she’d only watched a handful of movies out of curiosity. As for the famous adult film actors? Just whispers—she’d never actually seen any with other people.
Her two roommates were making her feel even more awkward, and she dared not look too long at the screen, her cheeks already flushed and her ears burning.
The speakers were low to avoid waking Wang Jie, but the sultry sounds still clearly entered Ning Chu’s eardrums.
Her mind was filling up with all sorts of thoughts.
She bit her lip, feeling her body temperature rise, her heart racing; her legs involuntarily pressed together while she hugged her belly, a frown forming on her face.
This felt… awkward.
What was this unexplainable desire to cuddle, and why was she suddenly feeling drawn to Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing? She found her gaze drifting to them.
Wen Yang was resting his leg nonchalantly, while Zhang Shaoqing leaned forward, blocking her view.
Extreme pressure.
Ning Chu saw right through their actions but was left with a perplexing question.
Why was her little buddy still utterly unresponsive at this moment?
Her face was flushed red, an alluring pink spreading to her ears, creeping down her neck. Her breaths had taken on a heated quality, her body increasingly restless and anxious, her tightly clenched legs accidentally rubbing together.
Taking a deep breath, she suddenly sprung up, rushing out of the dorm.
“Tsk, look at him acting like he’s never seen the world before.” Zhang Shaoqing glanced at Ning Chu washing his face on the balcony and said, “He can’t still be a virgin, right?”
Wen Yang’s expression, ready to tease, froze.
“Huh? Are you too?”
He nervously retaliated, “Look at how many girls in class are chasing me; no way I’m like Ning Chu!”
“Oh~” Zhang Shaoqing rubbed his chin, nodding thoughtfully, “So, in our dorm, Ning Chu is the only poor unfortunate soul. How about we take him out this weekend to show him the world?”
“Uh, that’s not a good idea…”
“Scared?”
“I just don’t think Ning Chu would want to go.”
Zhang Shaoqing let out a reluctant sigh, “He’s a bit introverted, true…”
“Let’s go! You treat, and I’ll join.”
Ning Chu’s voice suddenly rang out. His words paused Zhang Shaoqing, who turned to see Ning Chu standing by the balcony door: “Really?”
“I want to see the world~”
Zhang Shaoqing scratched his head, looking all flustered. It wasn’t that he didn’t know the place; he just looked at Ning Chu’s baby face and felt an odd pang of guilt.
“Well, um…”
“You probably haven’t even been yourself.” Ning Chu’s tone dripped with sarcasm as he huffed twice through his nose, turning back to climb into bed.
On one hand, she was genuinely curious about the culture and customs here.
On the other hand, Zhang Shaoqing’s character in the book had very strict upbringing, and before he turned into a villain, going to places like that would’ve gotten him a serious beating from his dad.
She couldn’t help but wonder if this guy’s strict upbringing was the reason for his psychological quirks in the book.
Climbing into bed, Ning Chu let out a dramatic sigh, turning to face the wall and curling up, covering her head with the quilt.
It really felt like her life was getting worse and worse…
Why is my little buddy always so unmotivated? Genuinely curious—open for advice, pretty urgent!
