"What kind of bad luck is this!? I was just working hard to earn some money, and I run into such an idiot!"

Wen Yang cursed as he walked out of the café. 

Normally, he hardly ever swore, but today he was cursing at an unusually high rate.

But if you're going to curse, can you at least not drag me along?

Ning Chu was being pulled by the wrist, stumbling after Wen Yang. 

Wen Yang had already changed into his regular clothes, and today’s work was completely ruined because of what had just happened. 

It wasn't that the owner had kicked them out, but Wen Yang preferred to leave without getting his pay, dragging Ning Chu along with him.

"Ah~ Damn it, that bastard ruined my chance to see Ning Chu in women's clothes! What bad luck!"

Ning Chu silently rolled his eyes at Zhang Shaoqing.

Seeing that this guy was about to help with a chair earlier, Ning Chu decided to let it go for now.

"I say you two should stop working and stay in the dorm to play games with me. Ten bucks a game," Zhang Shaoqing said in his usual careless manner. "Otherwise, I get bored staying in the dorm alone when you two go to work."

"No way, after something like this, who still has the mood?"

"Let go of me! It hurts!"

Wen Yang quickly released Ning Chu's wrist and sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"It’s all bruised... Why did you use so much strength?" Ning Chu complained unhappily. "And earlier, you scared me to death."

"I was just being protective," Wen Yang defended himself, kicking at Zhang Shaoqing.

Missing his kick, Ning Chu looked up at Wen Yang's somewhat nervous face and suddenly smiled. "Well done! That pervert disgusted me! He deserved to be taught a lesson!"

"As long as you're okay." Wen Yang smiled a bit too.

"Just a lesson? It wasn’t enough! Wen Yang, you should have just beaten him up! Pinned him down and broke his arm!" Zhang Shaoqing egged on from the side.

But why did something feel off?

Ning Chu hadn’t actually interacted with that pervert for long, yet Wen Yang acted immediately. 

It was clear that Wen Yang had been secretly watching him even while working, as if he was wary of any girls hitting on Ning Chu.

Was it really just because of friendship that Wen Yang acted, or...

Anyway, seeing Zhang Shaoqing's excited face, he probably just wanted to start a fight.

Ning Chu sighed dejectedly, "I wore women's clothes for nothing, such a waste."

"And you called me master twice!" Zhang Shaoqing teased gleefully. "How about you wear a maid outfit in the dorm from now on? I think it suits you!"

"Get lost!"

Although this guy looked quite cool standing up for them earlier, his current annoying demeanor made Ning Chu want to punch him.

Wen Yang is still the best~ He was the first to act, doesn’t act like a jerk, and is honest.

Ning Chu then noticed Wen Yang was missing, and when he turned around, he saw a girl blocking his path. 

Wen Yang was awkwardly shaking his head, trying to refuse her.

He attracts so many troublesome women.

Feeling exasperated, Ning Chu walked over and, without a word, grabbed Wen Yang’s hand and dragged him away.

"Why don't you just refuse directly? Why do you always get entangled with these women?" 

“I refused….”

"Be more decisive! Be stern! Just curse at them!"

"But they’re girls..."

That's why it’s always a hassle~

If Ning Chu had been able to firmly refuse rich women himself, they wouldn’t have had today’s incident.

Zhang Shaoqing chimed in, "Where to now? How about we get something to eat?"

"Sure."

The three of them found a small, nondescript eatery off-campus. 

Two meat dishes, one vegetable, and a soup cost them less than ninety yuan, which wasn’t too expensive on average.

The place was unadorned, and the hygiene looked questionable, but none of them minded. 

Zhang Shaoqing, the rich kid, ate the most enthusiastically.

Sitting next to Wen Yang, Ning Chu didn’t have much appetite due to the heat. 

After a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and rested his chin in his hand, gazing out at the street.

There would definitely be more incidents like today in the future.

The proportion of perverts in this hentai world was way too high. 

At present, Ning Chu was just a boy with a somewhat feminine appearance, but it wouldn't be long before he might turn into a real girl.

When that time came, his roommates wouldn’t always be there to protect him. 

Or maybe these two roommates were the most dangerous ones of all.

Ever since he brought Wen Yang, who had been drugged unconscious, back to the dorm a few days ago, Wen Yang's attitude toward him had been noticeably different. 

He was evidently more caring and concerned, and his gaze was gentler. 

Ning Chu even suspected that Wen Yang's feelings for him might have evolved from friendship to love...

That would be too scary!

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Yang lowered his head and whispered in Ning Chu's ear, "Are you still thinking about what happened earlier?"

"It's nothing. Running into perverts occasionally is normal. Mainly, if it had been a girl instead of a guy..."

Ning Chu pursed his lips: "No, I don't take it to heart."

Encountering perverts was expected, something he was mentally prepared for. 

The focus was on you!

Wen Yang moved closer, his warm breath on Ning Chu’s earlobe creating an indescribable sensation that made Ning Chu blush and feel weak.

He tried to pull away from Wen Yang but heard him teasingly ask, "When will you call me master?"

"Pervert."

It was clearly a tease, but why did it sound like flirting?

"Hey~~ what are you two whispering about?" Zhang Shaoqing looked up from his meal and immediately noticed the two whispering. "Look at Ning Chu blushing. What sweet nothings are you two sharing?"

Wen Yang then noticed Ning Chu’s face was as red as a tomato.

Slightly surprised, Wen Yang straightened up and put some distance between them, laughing as he explained, "He called you master but never called me that. It’s not fair."

"Jealous? You were the waiter, not the customer," Zhang Shaoqing laughed, looking at Ning Chu, ready to tease him further, but then noticed Ning Chu staring wide-eyed at something behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as he was about to turn around, Ning Chu urgently stopped him, "Shaoqing!"

"Hmm?"

Under the table, Ning Chu's elbow nudged Wen Yang's waist. 

His face was pale with nervousness, and his heart raced. 

Forcing a smile, he said, "Didn't we say we'd help you win over Lingling during the National Day holiday?"

"Yeah, but then you two went off to work."

"So, what if we fail? What if she finds someone else..."

Zhang Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, his expression turning despondent.

Oh no! Oh no!

Ning Chu was most afraid of his silence. 

He nudged Wen Yang's waist again with more force.

Wen Yang cleared his throat. "I think there are plenty of girls out there. No need to focus on just one."

"Exactly! There’s more than one cute catgirl!"

"Why do I feel like you two are hiding something from me?" Zhang Shaoqing frowned, turning to look behind him, through the glass door, towards the street.

"Nothing at all."

Fortunately, Lingling and her boyfriend had already walked past...

Otherwise, if Zhao Qing saw Lingling being all over affectionate with her boyfriend, there’s a chance Zhang Shaowing would go berserk.
