What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei? - Chapter 11

Chapter 11 11L: Delighted to Hear, Pleased to See

Life never stops, and neither do imaginative ideas. Last night, Ning Wenru had rested too early and woke up at 5 am today. Seeing that all his roommates were still sleeping, Ning Wenru quietly washed up, then carefully carried his laptop to bed.

Ning Wenru temporarily didn’t open any chat software. In this limited private time, he wanted to write rather than idly chat in groups. Unfortunately, Crazy Grass Teacher had been locked, so Ning Wenru could only stealthily open Cool Pet Tyrannical Love: The Imperial General’s Elaborate Confession [Space].

Ning Wenru had been pondering this imaginative idea since morning. The sources of inspiration, apart from seeing Pang Zaiyuan coolly and awesomely defeat the knife-wielding criminal that day, also came from him being a roommate with Pang Zaiyuan.

In this new story, the protagonist is a space writer, who is childhood friends and neighbors with the Imperial General. The protagonist is naively adorable, with an EQ of zero, completely unaware that the Imperial General likes him and secretly monitoring everything he does. Thus, whenever the Imperial General has spare time, he leaves various confessions in the comments section, and at the slightest disagreement, he floods the reader group with roses to become the highest protector. In reality, he also makes various useless confessions…

Ning Wenru was particularly excited to set up the grand finale first, which was during a sweet interstellar journey for two, where the Imperial General dispatched a fleet of stargazing warships to perform aerobatics in the starry sky, using jet-released fireworks to spell out “I love you” in a ring as a confession, followed by being watched as they kissed.

As for the Imperial General’s first confession, Ning Wenru used yesterday’s Little Devil Godly Rich Abyss negative points trope, writing about how the Imperial General first arrived at Jiangjiang, feeling so excited that he gave negative points instead, and due to a strange twist of fate misunderstood the implications of certain gifts, leaving a comment after each chapter for the little Top saying [Crude Whipping Belt for Updates Soaked in Chili Water] to express his twisted confession, successfully attracting the protagonist’s attention.

Now Jiangjiang has evolved, reforming its landmine system, changing landmines to various small gifts. And the technician who developed this gift system was an adorable old driver, so in addition to conventional expressions of love such as [520 Diamond Ring], [999 Red Roses], [1314 Blue Orchids] and so on, there were also set up all sorts of pure and refreshing little gifts like [Whipping Belt for Updates], [Crude Whipping Belt for Updates Soaked in Chili Water], [Light a Candle for (Fill-in Content)] [One Old Driver Badge], and so forth.

This is still not all, when opening the article page using the app, small gifts will also trigger full-screen animation effects. For example, 【999 Red Roses】 would be 999 red roses full-screen and vividly blooming effect, and for another example, 【Crude Whipping Belt for Updates Soaked in Chili Water】 would be a lash striking with a soft fur, then bright red blood flowers blooming all over the screen, followed by the words update twistedly appearing in big letters.

Apart from the full-screen effect, after being modified, the small gifts are just like the landmine system, where sending gifts will have comments intrinsic to Jiangjiang. For example, it would be something like: “Right on the mark! The author accepts my twisted and deep love, suffering the sequential infliction of 100 crude whips soaked in chili water, does it hurt, is it satisfying, update if it’s satisfying!”

As soon as Ning Wenru started typing, excitement overflowed in his eyes, feeling more invigorated the more he wrote, recording all his inspiration on the hard drive without noticing that Pang Zaiyuan had gotten out of bed, and had been watching him with an observing gaze for a long time.

With typing speed honed by years of training, Ning Wenru’s words flowed as fast as an octopus, swiftly publishing a chapter in no time. Seeing Pang Zaiyuan observing him, Ning Wenru gave a bashful smile, asking, “Morning!”

Pang Zaiyuan asked, “Have you taken your temperature yet? How is your body feeling?”

“Uh, I haven’t taken my temperature yet,” Ning Wenru felt somewhat guilty on the spot, immediately closed the laptop and hid it under the quilt, saying, “I feel very energetic.”

Pang Zaiyuan handed him the temperature probe, then spread out his palm and said with a serious expression, “Give me your laptop. Writing takes brainpower, and rest isn’t good.”

“You know I’m writing?!” Ning Wenru suddenly did a fish leap, almost bouncing to the ceiling, then hugged the quilt as a shield and shrunk to the inner side of the bed.

Pang Zaiyuan nodded in admission, “Mm.”

Ning Wenru asked with uncertainty, “Is it because—-that bigmouth Yue Weijian said so?”

Pang Zaiyuan didn’t explain anything, just tapped his finger on the bed frame, saying, “Your laptop.”

How could Ning Wenru think that Pang Zaiyuan wanted to express “the display on your laptop showed your writing page”?
At this moment, Ning Wenru was stunned by Pang Zaiyuan’s cold expression. He even assumed Pang Zaiyuan had uncovered his pen name, feeling incredibly guilty. He was almost about to kneel down, call him “Grandpa,” and act like a grandchild. Instead, he obediently handed over his notebook computer and watched helplessly as Pang Zaiyuan coldly locked it in a cabinet.

However, after thinking about it again, Ning Wenru felt something was wrong. Every time he wrote, he was so clever, nobody saw what he was writing. Moreover, if Pang Zaiyuan knew that he had written danmei and even put his name in it, his reaction could never possibly be so calm, still taking care of him to the point where he didn’t even need to take care of himself.

Thinking this, Ning Wenru’s sense of unease diminished somewhat. However, as he watched that locked computer, Ning Wenru seemed to see the “Crazy Grass Teacher” that Xiao Hong had locked yesterday, feeling depressed, he completely collapsed onto the quilt.

Roommate really is too nosy, not even allowing me to use the computer when I’m sick.

But what was with this indescribable feeling of bitter-sweetness welling up in his heart?

After a while, Ning Wenru finished taking his temperature, confirming he no longer had a fever. Meanwhile, Pang Zaiyuan had also changed into a set of dark blue sports clothes.

Ning Wenru stared at him with a blank expression, although his computer had been taken away, he was still thinking about the new story’s content. Since the protagonist and the imperial general were neighbors, the imperial general should teach him martial techniques. Thus, Ning Wenru asked, “Are you going to morning training?”

“Yes,” Pang Zaiyuan said in a low and pleasant voice, “it’s been a long time since you’ve exercised in the morning. And you’ve been staying up all night in the laboratory, your physique has deteriorated. But today you’ve just recovered from illness, shall we exercise together tomorrow morning?”

Ning Wenru nodded and said, “Okay, but, can you teach me one or two moves now? I want to see the detailed movements, for instance, if a fist aims for your face, what would you do?”

After saying this, Ning Wenru extended his right fist. Pang Zaiyuan wrapped his palm around Ning Wenru’s fist, then twisted it. Ning Wenru felt like his hand was about to be twisted into a hula hoop, and there was a sense that if Pang Zaiyuan applied more force, his hand would be snapped, but it didn’t hurt. It seemed that Pang Zaiyuan had very good control over his strength.

Then, Ning Wenru’s right hand was pressed behind his back, and then Pang Zaiyuan’s knee pushed against Ning Wenru’s back. Ning Wenru couldn’t help but lean forward, lifting one leg and kneeling on the chair, like a criminal had been subdued. However, very soon, Ning Wenru was released.

“You asked what I would do, I would do just like this, but you haven’t practiced before, your strength is small, you can’t use this move,” Pang Zaiyuan said. “Get up, I’ll guide you.”

“Mm.” As soon as Ning Wenru stood up, a strong fist appeared in front of him. He heard Pang Zaiyuan’s directions: “Turn sideways, place your left hand on the wrist of my fist, extend your right palm to my chin, yes, push my head up and back.”

Pang Zaiyuan gestured with his hand and directed: “Half-squat, extend your right foot to hook my foot, the hook is incorrect, think about it, to push me backward and make me fall, how should you hook? Good, now it’s correct, exert force simultaneously.”

Ning Wenru followed instructions, his right palm pushing Pang Zaiyuan’s chin, his left hand guiding Pang Zaiyuan’s fist upward, while simultaneously hooking his leg with a kick. Both hands and one leg exerted force at the same time. Although the strength was clearly very light and the movements were very slow, Pang Zaiyuan seemed to truly lose his balance, falling like he had no control, causing Pang Zaiyuan to land on his back on the ground!

Ning Wenru hastily pulled him back halfway, only then letting Pang Zaiyuan fall a bit more gently.

Fortunately, the dormitory floor was swept every day, so it was relatively clean. Pang Zaiyuan, also seemingly unaffected, continued directing: “Good, now you’ve made me fall. Next, you need to strike my ribs with the elbow of your right hand, and with your left hand, grip my neck. Use your body to completely pin me down.”

“Is this it?” Ning Wenru adjusted his posture, pressing his body firmly against Pang Zaiyuan. Their skin wanted to connect; Pang Zaiyuan’s Adam’s apple slid over his own palm, the firm and warm pulse perfectly palpable by his fingertips, seeming connected to his own pulse, leading to the heart. Ning Wenru’s face flushed red, and he got up from Pang Zaiyuan, reaching out to pull him while saying: “I’ve learned, thank you.”

Pang Zaiyuan waved his hand, didn’t stand up, propped up both legs while sitting on the floor, said: “You’ve learned and the best thing is to escape, when encountering things, calling the police is more appropriate.”

“Did you not fall earlier?” Ning Wenru asked.

Pang Zaiyuan, with a flash, sat down on the chair, propped up one leg, and said: “I’m alright.”

“It’s good that you’re alright.” Ning Wenru cast Pang Zaiyuan a grateful look, secretly making a decision.

Although Ning Wenru had long since given up on impractical thoughts, Pang Zaiyuan was indeed extremely handsome. His appearance and figure were very attractive; whenever Ning Wenru witnessed Pang Zaiyuan changing clothes in the dormitory, he couldn’t help but sneak peeks at him with rapt attention.

This was very bad! Firstly, Pang Zaiyuan was so good, even when sick he carried Ning Wenru to see the doctor, accompanied him for his IV, and brought him food, taking such care of him, Ning Wenru should also do what a roommate should do, absolutely not looking at his roommate’s fit body with an appreciative perspective!

Many times Pang Zaiyuan had noticed his gaze and met Ning Wenru’s eyes. Although Ning Wenru always faked a bashful smile to get by, if Pang Zaiyuan discovered he wrote danmei, he would definitely feel repulsed. His roommate, whom he saw as a younger brother and took care of with all his heart, was secretly watching his naked body every day.

If he found out, he’d definitely beat Ning Wenru to death with one punch.

From now on, Pang Zaiyuan would take off his nightshirt and openly change into a tank top and shorts. Ning Wenru decided his gaze must remain proper, not stealing any glances! Moreover! There could never be any physical contact in the future either.

If something like a few days ago happened again, where his head was muddle-headed and Pang Zaiyuan carried him to the hospital on his back, and then accidentally got hard while getting jostled, even poking Pang Zaiyuan’s back the whole way— that would be truly embarrassing.

Luckily, the healthy Pang Zaiyuan, in consideration for the sickly one, didn’t kick him to death with a single kick. Just now, Ning Wenru also couldn’t help but recall a few poses. This was really too inappropriate; he had to control himself, absolutely not causing trouble for his roommate who was so kind and had high martial arts prowess!

Ning Wenru couldn’t help but think, he needed to find a boyfriend, that way he wouldn’t have illicit thoughts about his kind roommate.

And at this moment, a gay friend’s text message just happened to arrive: Big Brother is on leave! There is free time every day, are you free to meet tomorrow?

Since the gay friend was so enthusiastic, Ning Wenru, adhering to the idea that even if they didn’t hit it off, making a friend wouldn’t be bad either, added Big Brother’s good friend and chatted for a few sentences.

After learning, Big Brother’s profile picture was himself. His profile picture looked like this: under the martyrs’ monument, Big Brother wearing sunglasses, his lips thin on top and thick on bottom pursed tightly together, looking cold yet handsome.

Ning Wenru enlarged this photo, and saw in the monument’s background, the people passing by were all wearing thick down jackets. For Big Brother, one thin deep blue sports jacket was enough, looking very strong, warm and resistant to the cold.

The feeling of chatting with Big Brother was also quite good. Ning Wenru told Big Brother he had just gotten rid of a fever, and Big Brother considerately told him to rest well before meeting up. The final meeting place was set at a cool tea shop near the school.

Cool tea shop, how kind and considerate, fresh and refined a base location, completely catering to Ning Wenru’s needs.

So Ning Wenru was ready to change clothes and go out. Since they were all guys, Ning Wenru didn’t hide when changing clothes, simply took off his upper body right in front of Pang Zaiyuan. However, sensing Pang Zaiyuan’s gaze, Ning Wenru felt quite embarrassed.

Ning Wenru pointed at his own flat and fair chest, then pointed at his flat abdomen, saying: “My physique isn’t as good as yours, no pectorals, no abs either.”

Pang Zaiyuan looked a few times, picked up a book and placed it on his own legs, then picked up a Photoelectronic Integration magazine and flipped it open, eyes staring at the textbook, said: “This way of yours is also good.”

“Is that so?” Ning Wenru put on his clothes, smiled, and said: “I’ve made plans to go out with friends, see you tonight.”

“Mm,” Pang Zaiyuan responded, continuing to look straight at the textbook without diverting his gaze.
