"Hm? Ning Chun? You are already up?"
As Wen Yang stretched with a lazy yawn, he immediately spotted the slender figure sitting in front of the computer.
Rubbing his sore shoulders as he got up, he glanced around, but his gaze stopped at the untouched bed in the next room.
"You didn't sleep?"
Wen Yang waited in silence for a moment, but Ning Chu didn't answer his question.
"Hey, why are you ignoring me?"
Muttering to himself, he walked over to the computer and looked down, only to see Ning Chu's fair feet propped up on the rattan chair, his body curled up, head drooping as he slept.
Seeing the slightly red rims around his eyes, he must have stayed up late last night.
Wen Yang looked at the computer screen, which was playing a romance movie on autoplay.
"You actually like watching this stuff."
He then looked at the computer desk, where there were seven or eight small cards, each with enticing pictures and text.
He casually picked up the small cards and tossed them into the trash can, tapped his aching head, and turned to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
Although he fell asleep quickly after drinking, his sleep was not restful. He woke up with a headache and body aches, and there was a possibility of a sore butt if he wasn't careful.
It was only six in the morning. After freshening up, Wen Yang had nothing to do, so he turned on the TV with the volume turned down to the minimum. However, his gaze kept drifting to the petite figure.
He hesitated, unsure whether he should carry Ning Chu back to bed to sleep.
Maybe it's unnecessary? It feels a bit too gay.
What if there's a misunderstanding?
But they're both men, so what's there to misunderstand?
Wen Yang ran his hand through his messy hair, recalling Ning Chu's care for him during this time. He stood up and gently pushed Ning Chu's shoulder, softly calling, "Wake up, go sleep on the bed."
No response.
Seeing this, Wen Yang could only take matters into his own hands. He placed one arm behind Ning Chu's head and carefully slid his other hand between his folded legs, hoping to move him to the bed without disturbing him.
He lifted Ning Chu gently in a bridal carry, and unexpectedly found the smaller man to be much lighter than what he originally thought.
"His body should be less than sixty kilos."
Not only was Ning Chu's body small, his body was also soft, his skin slightly cool, smooth like flour.
Wen Yang glanced down, almost unable to see any hair on Ning Chu arms up close. Afraid of disturbing him, Wen Yang moved quickly and smoothly, taking only a few seconds to gently place him on the bed and cover him with a blanket.
"Time to play on the computer!" Wen Yang sat back at the computer, giving up on gaming but opting to watch interesting anime or dramas instead. It was better than the morning news on TV.
After watching a few episodes of anime, there was a soft knock on the door, and Wang Jie's voice came from outside. "Up yet?"
Wen Yang quickly got up to open the door, only to see Wang Jie holding two bags of breakfast.
"I got up early with nothing to do, so I went out to buy you guys some food." Wang Jie handed one of the bags to him and continued, "Meat buns, soy milk, and youtiao. You and Ning Chu can share."
"Okay, thanks."
"Is Ning Chu up yet?"
"Not yet. He probably stayed up late last night, so he might not get up until noon."
"Same with Shaoqing. It's the first time I've heard him snore."
Wen Yang suddenly had a guess. "Do you think they sneaked out while we were drunk last night?"
"How is that possible? I was woken up by a very sharp noise last night. When I woke up, Shaoqing was still playing mobile games."
"Who was it?"
A soft, lazy voice came from inside the room. Wen Yang turned to see Ning Chu crawling to the foot of the bed, his teary eyes looking toward the door.
"Too noisy..."
"Let's get some food delivered." Wen Yang shook the plastic bag in his hand. "Meat buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, sound good?"
"I'm sleepy..."
The soft voice that comes out of Ning Chu's mouth sounds no different than that of a girl.
Wen Yang was about to say something when suddenly he heard a sharp exclamation from Ning Chu.
"How did I fall asleep!"
"Yeah, yeah, it was this noise that woke me up last night!" Wang Jie outside the room nodded repeatedly, peeking inside to see what was happening.
Ning Chu sat at the end of the bed, startling himself awake, first looking down at his clothes, then glancing around.
Thank goodness, everything's fine~
He let out a sigh of relief, then looked up at the two roommates entering the room, smelling the scent of meat buns and immediately hearing his stomach protest.
"Let's eat, then sleep after we're full." Wen Yang placed the breakfast on the table, a bit puzzled. "What time did you sleep last night? Did I snore and disturb you?"
"Not really."
Ning Chu rubbed his sore eyes, yawning as he put on his shoes and got out of bed. "I'll go wash my face first— Wait! Why was I sleeping on the bed?!"
"When I woke up, you were already sleeping on the bed."
Of course, Wen Yang couldn't admit that he had deliberately moved Ning Chu's position to play on the computer.
"Is that so?"
The memories before sleeping were already fuzzy, Ning Chu thought for a moment but couldn't recall anything, so he simply agreed with Wen Yang's statement, walking to the bathroom with a puzzled look on his face.
"I want to go back to the dorm to play computer games." Wang Jie drank soy milk and ate breakfast, muttering, "The bar isn't that fun anyway, why did Zhang Shaoqing drag us here? It's better to play a few games and gain some points."
"What if we lose points?"
"Then the bar would be a little more interesting."
In less than two minutes, Ning Chu finished washing up and hurried to the table. He reached for a meat bun, looking at the two sitting on the chairs, suddenly having an idea.
"How about we take the bus back first?"
Zhang Shaoqing said last night that he would take his roommates for a massage today. Considering this is a Hentai World, the chance of that "Massage" being sexual in nature is quite high.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Anyway, he has a car, and who knows when he'll wake up. We can just send him a text message to explain." Ning Chu tried to persuade Wang Jie to join his side, "Otherwise, the three of us will be bored early in the morning, wouldn't it be more comfortable to play computer games back in the dorm?"
Wang Jie looked a bit troubled and glanced at Wen Yang.
Wen Yang wasn't keen on this "betrayal" either, frowning. "If you want to play games, we can find a nearby internet cafe, can't we?"
Internet cafe...
The point is not to let Zhang Shaoqing lead you guys astray!
Seeing the two hesitating, Ning Chu decided to act decisively. He grabbed Wen Yang's wrist and Wang Jie's sleeve, pulling them towards the door. "Let's go back! If Shaoqing gets angry, I'll take the blame, alright?"
He rarely showed such a strong attitude. "I need to catch up on some sleep when I get back. I can't sleep well here at all!"
"Wh—"
"Let's go!"
