Trapped in Paradise

Chapter 93: 092. You’re the Protagonist!

As a good student, Wen Yang skipped class.

He brought Ning Chu and the Wolf Girl to a secluded corner on the second floor of the cafeteria.

Wen Yang’s expression was serious as he frowned, still wearing that disbelieving look. The Wolf Girl had her eyes downcast, looking droopy, while Ning Chu lay on the table, her gaze vacant and disillusioned.

Why did the plot suddenly trigger?!

He was on high alert for the Succubus Lily, fearing that Wen Yang might strike up a conversation with her. He also sensed something unusual about the counselor and worried he might become a victim in the story.

It should have been smooth sailing! Why did a Wolf Girl suddenly drag him into this plot?!

Clearly, the book stated that the counselor used scholarships as leverage—it’s only been a month and a half since the semester started! Where’s the scholarship coming from?

The book also never mentioned the victim girl having any traits of an Otherworldly being!

He almost cried out, his mind racing with the urge to follow the plot and run away with Wen Yang, avoiding the chaos.

It’s just an unfamiliar passerby girl…

But looking at the Wolf Girl’s pitiful state, he couldn’t bring himself to decide.

If that scumbag Han Jingye got his way, this girl’s life would be ruined.

Now all he could do was pray that this transformation wouldn’t turn him straight into a girl.

“Vice Class Leader~ what was your name again~” Ning Chu weakly asked, “I still don’t know you…”

“Yan Xinya.”

Compared to most side characters in the Small Royal Text, the Wolf Girl’s name sounded much nicer.

He lightly acknowledged her and turned his gaze to Wen Yang.

Wen Yang was still a bit dazed, the disbelief not yet fading. He was just envious, scaring Ning Chu by claiming that Han Jingye was a pervert, and now it actually turned out to be true?

He couldn’t help but feel apprehensive. Given Ning Chu’s personality, if something really did happen, she would probably keep it to herself instead of seeking help like the Wolf Girl.

“How did you end up approaching me?” Wen Yang looked down, his face red with embarrassment and guilt, “I’m not capable of doing anything…”

Yan Xinya’s expression became even more despondent, her shoulders trembling: “I told my roommates, but they didn’t believe me. They thought I was being proactive.”

“I reported it too, but…”

The Wolf Girl’s words were interrupted by Ning Chu: “It’s okay, Wen Yang will solve it.”

“???”

Wen Yang looked at Ning Chu in shock.

Wait, he’s just an ordinary person! What could he possibly do to solve this problem?

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to help?”

“Not that… I just want to at least hear what the situation is.”

He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Besides being more popular with girls, what else did he have that made Ning Chu so confident in him?

Yan Xinya was slumped, her fingers twiddling nervously, yet she remained silent for a while.

Ning Chu let out a sigh of despair.

In the book, Han Jingye used scholarships as blackmail to coerce a girl.

Now, with the time, place, and characters all wrong, the real plot should have happened at finals or the start of the next semester, and the girl wasn’t even an animal-eared girl. So if they didn’t deal with Han Jingye thoroughly this time, more girls would face this kind of situation later on.

The morals in the Small Royal Text were quite abnormal; while reading or writing, they only thought about how to spice things up. But when such things happen in reality, it can be suffocating.

It’s like many people in the two-dimensional world are loli lovers or even [REDACTED], yet in reality, few sane individuals would target girls under sixteen. This isn’t just a legal issue; it’s more about not crossing moral boundaries.

Seeing that Yan Xinya still hadn’t spoken, Ning Chu lay face down on the table, looking even more sorrowful and helpless than the Wolf Girl as he asked, “Did you chat with him online first? Did he care about your life…”

Yan Xinya paused, then nodded.

“Can we see the chat records?”

“It’s been deleted… because I reacted really strongly, he said he’d stop bothering me if I deleted it.” The Wolf Girl still placed her phone on the table, pausing for a moment before continuing, “Later, I called the police, but there was no evidence.”

“But I thought, if I don’t speak up, there might be other girls in the future… but I, alone, didn’t know what to do.”

So Yan Xinya had reasonably tried to protect herself.

Wen Yang frowned. Just a moment ago, he claimed he was incapable, yet now he was professionally recording the phone and trying to recover the deleted chat logs.

“Um, so the police report is useful, just no evidence.”

Ning Chu muttered. After successfully reporting the villa party last time, he knew that the world took law enforcement against such things seriously. Aside from the Small Royal Text’s plot, everything else was generally within normal bounds.

There were elements of the Small Royal Text in his previous world too, just hidden in places he couldn’t see, like certain infamous events and ridiculous news sprouting up occasionally.

Unfortunately, he was also a character in this plot, caught up and unable to escape.

“Evidence…” Wen Yang laid down his phone in frustration, “I tried, but the chat records can’t be found. I’ll try again on my computer when I get back to the dorm.”

The built-in chat log recovery feature in the software didn’t work; he would have to try the software on his computer.

“I don’t think it needs to be that complicated. It’s best to have evidence, but even if not, that’s fine.” Ning Chu propped himself up and looked at Wen Yang, “Why don’t you try reporting it?”

“Me?”

“Yeah, if you report it, maybe it’ll resolve!”

Wen Yang was left in stitches: “What kind of ability do I have?!”

But you’re the protagonist! The Child of This World! Protagonist Halo activated!

Ning Chu looked at Wen Yang with encouraging eyes, which only made him feel more self-conscious. He had no idea where Ning Chu’s confidence in him came from.

Did Ning Chu see him as omnipotent?!

“Go for it!”

Those sparkling big eyes were filled with anticipation, and at that moment, he felt like he really could do anything.

That feeling of being hoped for by Ning Chu…

Having never faced something like this before, his nervousness gradually faded, replaced by a sense of self-assuredness filling his chest: “Alright, I’ll try reporting it.”

“If it doesn’t have results, we’ll escalate it! I refuse to believe no one will care!”

“Right!” Ning Chu nodded in agreement, “I almost fell into the trap too!”

This flare of motivation clearly made Wen Yang more agitated; behind his fleeting fear, he gritted his teeth and declared, “He must be sent to prison!”

“Let him die!”

Yan Xinya noticed that the two in front of her seemed even more excited than she was.

But she was still immensely grateful, repeatedly saying, “Thank you, thank you…”

“Don’t mention it! Just don’t talk to Wen Yang anymore from now on,” Ning Chu warned, stifling any potential threats.

“Yeah! He’s yours!” Yan Xinya nodded obediently, “I won’t compete with you.”

“???”
