Chapter 122: Spray!
Ning Chu, caught in a private chat with Lily, was at a loss on how to face Wen Yang.
But now, it’s all good~
The overwhelming shame had turned into angry embarrassment. When they met, she shot him a glance and rolled her eyes, giving him nothing but a sour face.
Wen Yang, on the other hand, wore a grin that could light up the whole dorm, as he unexpectedly held Ning Chu’s hand for the first time.
What a steal!
In the following tutoring session and on their way back to school later that night, Wen Yang was constantly wearing a satisfied smile, while Ning Chu looked like a person who’d rather not exist.
At 7:30 PM, after dinner in the cafeteria, they pushed open the door to the dorm.
Inside, Wang Jie and Zhang Shaoqing were already back, intensely gaming, sweet talk filling the room.
Weekends in the dorm were usually calm and peaceful, but Ning Chu found it hard to adjust to such noise.
Zhang Shaoqing turned his head at the sound of the door, asking, “Where were you two on your date?”
“I was tutoring, and Ning Chu just tagged along.”
“Oh really?” He looked at Wen Yang’s grin, “Why do you look so creepy?”
Wen Yang immediately put on a serious face: “Is it wrong to be happy about making money?”
Meanwhile, Ning Chu had already sidled up to Wang Jie, peeking at the game screen, and softly asked, “How’s it going with your girlfriend?”
“Ah? Pretty good.”
“No issues, right?”
“What could happen?”
Ning Chu heaved a sigh of relief. The thing she worried most this weekend was that Wang Jie would end up being the victim, but from the looks of it, everything seemed fine.
It must have been the outfit coordination she helped Wang Jie with that worked wonders!
She mentally patted herself on the back and walked contentedly to her desk.
Now that her roommates were back, if she disrupted the plot again and showed her restlessness in front of them…
The consequences could either be permanent social death or grouping up for games with them…
Ning Chu figured if that happened, she might as well jump off the balcony to restart her life.
Even if the plot triggered, it had to be dealt with in bed!
Or in some discreet corner… if all else failed, she could just accept punishment in front of Wen Yang again; she absolutely couldn’t handle the anxiety of being the center of attention with all the roommates watching.
After sitting down in front of the computer, Ning Chu rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly.
Tonight, she might have to study new accessories while showering…
She was unwilling, but she knew this was the first step towards her descent.
“Wen Yang! Ning Chu! Wang Jie! Come here!”
Zhang Shaoqing, having just finished his game, suddenly called out loudly, “I’ve got something awesome to show you!”
The others glanced at him, but continued their business.
“Come on! Really, it’s a treasure!”
“……”
Ning Chu yawned, getting up to change her clothes.
“Ning Chu! Ning Chu!”
Zhang Shaoqing waved mysteriously at her: “Come see!”
“Stop being ridiculous…”
“Really! I found a great treasure at my grandpa’s house!”
That piqued Ning Chu’s curiosity a little. She turned back, looking at Zhang Shaoqing’s cocky expression, her brows furrowed.
What kind of trick was he planning?
“Come closer.” Zhang Shaoqing hid his right hand behind his back and waved his left hand at Ning Chu.
Something felt off!
Could Zhang Shaoqing have some plot going on too?
But villain plots only happen after they darken. What could this reformed Zhang Shaoqing possibly be up to?
Ning Chu hesitated and stepped closer, only to see Zhang Shaoqing pull out a small spray bottle and squirt it right in her face.
“!!!”
No way!
Before she could react or even scream, Ning Chu felt her head quickly grow heavy, and the next moment found herself in an overwhelming, ghostly paralysis.
Her mind was clear, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t control her body!
This was! The villain’s hypnosis plot!
In the book, the villain had used this little spray bottle to wreak havoc on countless girls!
Her heart sank as she realized, despite having been ‘redeemed’, Zhang Shaoqing had unexpectedly targeted her.
“See? I told you it was a treasure!” Zhang Shaoqing exclaimed, grinning widely, “Now, call me Daddy.”
“Daddy.”
Ning Chu stood there, dazed, replying without thinking.
Wen Yang turned his head in shock, Wang Jie was also dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.
“What happened to Ning Chu?”
“She’s been hypnotized! You can make her do anything now, like…”
Zhang Shaoqing’s grin widened as his thoughts became even more perverted. Wen Yang paused briefly before striding toward him.
“Let Ning Chu join us to play games!”
Wen Yang’s foot stopped next to Zhang Shaoqing, leaning casually against the wardrobe door.
“Damn it! Always messing with me! Teammates are getting caught while laughing and swiping! Tell her to attack, and she jungles! Tell her to teamfight, and she splits push! Tell her to ward, and she spaces out! How can we win anything like this!”
“Ning Chu! Log in! You’re going to do everything I say during the game!”
“……”
Ning Chu, still in a daze, walked to the computer and opened the game, while Zhang Shaoqing called to the others, “Get on! What are you all standing around for?”
“Is there no side effect? Whatever you tell Ning Chu, she just does?” Wen Yang queried, his brow furrowed, standing next to Zhang Shaoqing, “How do we wake her up?”
“She’ll wake up in three to five minutes, it’s fine.”
Whether it was Zhang Shaoqing’s twisted thoughts or Wen Yang’s overly innocent ones, their first thoughts clearly weren’t directing Ning Chu to play games.
Oh, Zhang Shaoqing didn’t know that Ning Chu was a girl. All good…
Wang Jie mumbled from the side, “Isn’t this thing dangerous? What if it falls into the hands of a pervert?”
“Do I look like a pervert?” Zhang Shaoqing pointed to his own face.
Taking a look at the still-hypnotized Ning Chu, Wen Yang and Wang Jie simultaneously nodded.
“I can’t! Can we trust each other a bit more?!”
While this was happening, Ning Chu suddenly realized she was waking from her foggy state.
As if her soul had returned, she regained control over her body, and the next moment, fear and dread filled her with a cold sweat.
What if Zhang Shaoqing had wanted to do something while she was helpless…
If his prank had gone even further…
Ning Chu’s face turned pale with fear. She turned to Zhang Shaoqing, her eyes wide with terror, shoulders trembling.
Now this situation… the dorm isn’t even safe anymore!
This was a prank, but what if Zhang Shaoqing planned something more?
She stood up to flee but bumped the chair, causing it to topple over and immediately drawing the attention of the others.
Seeing her tearful, pale face, clearly terrified, Wen Yang had already placed a hand on Zhang Shaoqing’s shoulder: “That’s too much.”
“Wait…”
“You better apologize,” Wang Jie chimed in, “It really is too much.”
Zhang Shaoqing, seeing Ning Chu’s almost crying expression, felt a bit guilty, forcing a smile as he dared not look at the others: “I was just joking… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
He received no reply, realizing Ning Chu’s wary gaze was fixed on the spray bottle in his hand.
“Do you want it? Then spray me too.” He cheekily tossed the hypnosis spray over, “That’ll make it even.”
Ning Chu froze, fumbling to catch the small spray bottle, incredulously looking up.
Huh? How did the villain’s prop end up in my hands?
Could it be that I’m the real villain?
