Perhaps it was due to his previous experience in the bar, Zhang Shaoqing has a good alcohol tolerance.
He barely ate any of his food and soon, several beer cans were already on the ground, but he remained silent and continued to drink with a calm expression.
After the experience of almost triggering the plot in the hotel last time, Ning Chu didn't dare to touch any alcohol this time.
He just sat on one side of the small square table, eating a few bites of snacks from time to time, looking at Zhang Shaoqing with concern.
"Wen Yang, you couldn't drink much, drink less." He glanced at Wen Yang, who was already flushed and slightly tipsy, and reminded him.
It's not that I care about Wen Yang, I'm just worried that this guy will do something stupid after drinking.
"Well, I didn't drink much."
Ning Chu bent down quietly, rested his arms on his thighs, supported his chin with his hands, and looked eagerly at the two men in front of him.
Ever since he came here, he has been troubled by these two men almost all the time.
Wen Yang is fine as he still remains a virgin and is able to firmly reject women who try to seduce him in the right way.
He is still a popular college student and has not become the "protagonist".
Zhang Shaoqing, on the other hand, hasn't shown any significant signs yet. Besides that one club gathering, Ning Chu hasn't triggered any villain-related plot.
But now, because of his childhood friend's behavior, it seems Zhang Shaoqing is on the path to truly becoming the "villain" from the story.
But now, because of his childhood sweetheart's gift, this guy seems to be following the path in the plot and truly becoming the "villain".
Some keywords related to the villain, such as mind break, props, domestication, hypnosis, Yandere, humanpet... Just thinking about these plot elements gives Ning Chu a headache.
Back in the day, his preferences were quite broad.
When it's simply some hentai works, seeing these keywords would make the viewer excited, but now, when it's applied to the real world... If Zhang Shaoqing becomes the villain, who knows how many girls will suffer in the future.
And although Ning Chu is still a man now, there's no telling whether he would become Zhang Shaoqing's first pet or not.
If I can't appease Zhang Shaoqing today, I will pack up and run overnight!
I don't bother to care about the dangers I might encounter.
At least those dangers are invisible and intangible at the moment, and are always more illusory than the crisis in front of me.
Ning Chu looked at Zhang Shaoqing's expressionless face.
He had drunk quite a bit of wine, but this guy was still gloomy and silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Then he glanced at Wen Yang... well, this guy isn't good at talking anyway, being the silent type.
If it weren't for his good looks and being the protagonist of this world, so many girls wouldn't be lining up to chase him.
So Wen Yang really just drank, and looked down at his phone from time to time.
He had no intention of using the alcohol to chat with Zhang Shaoqing.
"Shao—"
"Ning Chu, drink two bottles with me."
As if to shut Ning Chu up, Zhang Shaoqing pushed two bottles of wine in front of Ning Chu.
He swallowed back what he was about to say, frowned, and looked at the two bottles of wine at a loss.
He really doesn't want to drink. What if he gets dizzy and loses his rationality after two bottles?
Besides, if Zhang Shaoqing really turned into a villain tonight, a drunk Ning Chu would be the easiest target.
Ning Chu shuddered; he didn't want any close encounters with any man, especially since he's still a man himself...
"I, I'll pass?" he mumbled, shrinking his neck. "Isn't Wen Yang drinking with you?"
Saying this, he glared at Wen Yang, who immediately understood and said, "Shaoqing, just drinking isn't fun. How about we play a game? Loser drinks a bottle."
Yes, yes! Playing a little game might help relieve Zhang Shaoqing's frustration.
Ning Chu nodded eagerly, but Zhang Shaoqing glanced at them and said, "Not interested."
"..."
Although rejected, at least he spoke, right?
Ning Chu sighed inwardly, nibbling on a couple of peanuts.
"Drink, can't a man handle a little alcohol?"
"I, I'm allergic to alcohol."
"Heh~"
Under Zhang Shaoqing's oppressive gaze and fearing that defying him would accelerate his villainous transformation, Ning Chu had no choice but to reluctantly take a sip of beer.
He couldn't understand what was so good about beer!
Cocktails from bars were at least passable as drinks.
"I've known Lingling for fifteen years." Zhang Shaoqing lowered his head, sighing, "I've liked her for over ten years, but she only sees me as a brother..."
Ning Chu's eyes lit up; if he was willing to talk, things would be easier!
While the problem couldn't be solved, at the very least Zhang Shaoqing could vent his frustration through talking, reducing the chance of him turning into the hentai villain.
He quickly handed two more bottles of beer to Zhang Shaoqing and echoed, "She never felt your feelings for her before?"
"No, when I confessed, she seemed quite surprised... She's always seen me as a brother."
"But she should know your feelings after you confessed, right?"
"But she still doesn't like me."
Zhang Shaoqing sighed, "I also know the guy she's dating. He's our high school classmate."
"..."
"First Wen Yang, now a classmate..."
Ning Chu glared at Wen Yang, this protagonist was truly a sinner!
Wen Yang awkwardly scratched the back of his head, "I didn't know back then, but I never touched her! I had never even held her hand!"
"Since he's a high school classmate, can't you talk to him? Like last time?"
Previously, when Wen Yang learned that Lingling was Zhang Shaoqing's childhood sweetheart, he had immediately broken up with her.
But this time...
Zhang Shaoqing shook his head, downing half a bottle of beer in despair, "Forget it."
"Then, what should we do..."
He glanced at Ning Chu's worried face, then looked at Wen Yang, who silently drank with him.
"Just let me be alone for a couple of days."
Although he knew that emotional wounds couldn't heal quickly, Ning Chu was still a bit anxious.
Who knows what Zhang Shaoqing might be thinking in a couple of days...
But he still went along with Zhang Shaoqing's words, "Yes, time will make it better."
Then he swallowed, cautiously asking, "Shaoqing, you... you wouldn't want to take revenge on Lingling, right?"
"..."
Zhang Shaoqing turned to look at him, eyes dazed.
Don't stay silent! Silence means agreement, right?
Ning Chu shivered, already preparing to flee overnight.
"No..." Before he could finish, Zhang Shaoqing's head hit the table, and he slumped over the small table.
Ning Chu breathed a sigh of relief, at least they were able to hear Zhang Shaoqing thoughts.
At least he didn't think about revenge today.
"I don't know what he likes about Lingling, that girl is quite open..." Wen Yang muttered, "We had only known each other for a few days, yet she said she wanted to spend the night in my bed."
Feeling guilty, Ning Chu crouched down to pick up the scattered beer bottles.
When he wrote the book, he didn't care if the girls were open or not.
The point was to make it exciting; logic? Who needs that in erotic fiction?
In the end, he was the real culprit.
