What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei? - Chapter 14
Chapter 14: 14L – Delighted to See
Along the way, Ning Wenru observed through the car’s rearview mirror that Pang Zaiyuan, sitting beside him, had slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, engaged in cheerful conversation with the three girls in the back seat. It seemed Pang Zaiyuan was in a quite happy mood.
The vivacious and charming girl boldly asked, “You’re so handsome, with such a pleasant voice, and you have money too! Are you lacking girlfriends?”
Ning Wenru pricked up his ears, hearing Pang Zaiyuan chuckle softly, “I’m not lacking. About to get one.”
Ning Wenru scratched his head. He had originally thought of himself as a good friend, but he never expected that after just flirting for a short while at the laboratory, Pang Zaiyuan didn’t even tell him about having almost landed a girlfriend.
Ning Wenru had already felt flustered upon seeing the chat records, but now, seeing Pang Zaiyuan happily chatting with the girls, seemingly valuing romance over friendship, it seemed Pang Zaiyuan cared little for his writing hobby!
Moreover, Pang Zaiyuan had always behaved quite normally before, without showing any disgust or avoidance. He even took care of Ning Wenru when he was sick, so Ning Wenru really didn’t need to be flustered; he shouldn’t scare himself.
However, since it had already been discovered, if he didn’t get a proper explanation, Ning Wenru wouldn’t be able to sleep at all tonight.
Arriving finally at the destination for hailing a car, the interior of the car finally emptied, leaving only Pang Zaiyuan and Ning Wenru. Ning Wen deeply inhaled a breath, prepared, and then asked in a soft voice: “I saw last night you used my Koukou to send chat records to the reader group, discovering the novel where I wrote your name in, why aren’t you angry?”
“Heh,” Pang Zaiyuan parked the car on the roadside, turned on the hazard lights, and asked in reverse: “Put yourself in my shoes, if you found out you were being cucked for 400,000 words by your roommate, how would you feel?”
Ning Wenru: “…”. This still needed to be asked? He would absolutely beat him up!
On the quiet road, the streetlights couldn’t shine into the car, Pang Zaiyuan’s face was hidden in the shadows, his expression unseen. Ning Wenru mentally filled in the blanks with his usual cold and serious appearance, suddenly feeling particularly frightened. Ning Wenru shrank back, hastily took out his phone, connected to Jiangjiang, and explained: “You’ve misunderstood me, you thought I wrote you into the novel for 400,000 words of cuckery, but in fact there really isn’t any! This is a coincidence, I can show you the proof on the first page of publication, the time of posting the article is much earlier than when I got to know you!”
“Oh, is that so?” Pang Zaiyuan responded unhurriedly.
Ning Wenru opened the article page and showed the publication time to Pang Zaiyuan, explaining at the same time, “Yes, look! This article was posted during this year’s summer vacation. I had already written 400,000 words before I met you. This is the exclusive website for the official publication; do you see the time the revised chapters were posted? Once I discovered you shared a name with a character from my pen, I stayed up all night to replace all the names! Where did you see the version before the name change?”
Pang Zaiyuan casually glanced at it and handed the cell phone back, saying calmly, “Searched. Screwing the Sky, the Earth, and the Roommate [full text plus bonus chapters edition] for 2.5 yuan, 20 yuan to buy all the author’s novels in a bundle.”
“…” Ning Wenru fell silent for a moment, then with great difficulty spoke, full of hope, “Then… you bought the 2.5 yuan one?”
“No,” Pang Zaiyuan decisively and coldly shattered Ning Wenru’s hope: “I bought the bundle. There are almost 20 books, the bundle is more cost-effective. I’ve read them all, you write quite uniquely.”
!!!
Read them all?
Just how many were included in the bundle?
Ning Wenru had just been able to comfort himself not to scare himself to death, but now he was completely unable to comfort himself!
Discovering that his roommate shared a name with the strong bottom in his writings, this was still somewhat explainable since he had already changed his name, but! How could he explain that he had also written various other kinds of danmei?
Aside from those recently written “Screwing the Sky, the Earth, and the Roommate”, “Crazy Grass Teacher in the Laboratory”, and “The Imperial General’s Flowery Confession”, Ning Wenru had previously published over ten danmei novels, long or short, wild or restrained, which concealed all of Ning Wenru’s unknown, untouchable, and various sorts of shameful fantasies as a seasoned BL man.
Ning Wenru’s hands involuntarily clenched his knees, his voice trembling. “Really all—all of it, you read?”
“Um, all read.” Pang Zaiyuan turned his head to look, staring intently at Ning Wenru, the streetlight illuminating his smiling lips perfectly.
The more Ning Wenru thought about it, the more terrifying he found it, asking in a quivering voice, “The Mounting the Demon Emperor, did you read that too?”
“Read it.”
Ning Wenru tried asking about another one, “The Master-Slave Game, did you read that too?”
“Read it.”
Ning Wenru still harbored a faint glimmer of hope as he asked, “All the Beasts in the Tribe Want to Give Birth to My Children, did you read that too?”
“Read it.”
“What about the short stories?” Although there wasn’t much difference after reading all the main long works, Ning Wenru hadn’t given up hope yet. “Do you have Brothel Maiden Overpowers General?”
“Yes.”
Ning Wenru desperately clung to his last ounce of calm. “Then—Calcium Tablet Star’s Memoirs?”
“Yes, all your columns and all your works have been bundled together.”
Everything was discovered!
Forget about two and a half yuan per book, why was there a twenty-yuan bundle? Plagiarism was ruining me!
Ning Wenru had completely abandoned any hope, but he continued asking out of sheer inertia. “Then the latest Laboratory Crazy Grass Teacher?”
Pang Zaiyuan pointed out precisely, “I’ve read that too, but you’re mistaken. The latest one is Elaborate Confession.”
Ning Wenru was speechless.
Elaborate Confession had only just started today, meaning Pang Zaiyuan not only read the bundled novels, but also followed his new works!
Pang Zaiyuan delivered the final blow. “I’ve even joined your exclusive group.”
Ning Wenru was utterly shocked.
Forget about the ordinary bundled novels, the exclusive group contained every kind of shameless bonus material!
It seemed that beneath his fresh and pure exterior, his indecent danmei writings had been uncovered by his Male God…
This feeling of having his privacy discovered, seemed as if someone had peeled open his head and dug out all his unspeakable thoughts to expose them in front of someone who cares. It was also like when at home, while excitedly watching a intense calcium tablet and happily masturbating, Dad suddenly pushed the door open, their eyes met, then time stopped…
Everything had been seen through, before his roommate he had no way to hide his embarrassing and vulgar fantasies. What face had he to speak of, he truly wanted to explode and disappear on the spot…
“Having seen these, you aren’t disgusted at me?” Now Ning Wenru wished he could be as small as a speck of dust, so Pang Zaiyuan wouldn’t even see him.
Yue Weijian, who wanted to show Pang Zaiyuan romance education videos, was already a bad thing, let alone Ning Wenru writing out those yaoi bonuses. A normal straight man would definitely find it very disgusting. Pang Zaiyuan was just nice. But after he got better, Pang Zaiyuan would surely despise him to death.
Ning Wenru looked down at his knees, completely not daring to look at Pang Zaiyuan’s expression, his hands once again unconsciously wanting to pull his own hair, looking just like someone anxiously awaiting execution. Just as he was about to endure Pang Zaiyuan saying words of disgust, Pang Zaiyuan massaged his hair for quite a while instead.
Big hand warm, gentle, and even Ning Wenru’s just pulled his hair messy disheveled strands smooth once again. Ning Wenru put down both hands, raised his head in surprise, and heard Pang Zaiyuan say lightly, “No, don’t think too much, you’re very good, writing those, are also quite normal human emotions.”
That deep voice, sounding like a cello, was soothing, steady, and reliable. Although Ning Wenru was still very ashamed, being stroked on the head did indeed have a calming effect, and he asked again in some disbelief to confirm, “Really? Don’t you think I’m—very dirty, very lewd? Do you not want to isolate such a roommate?”
Under Ning Wenru’s expectant gaze, Pang Zaiyuan shook his head and murmured, “Isolate what? These are quite normal human emotions. Since ancient times, eating and sex have been part of human nature, without intercourse, there would be no reproduction. It’s just some small hobbies, quite normal.”
Quite normal!
It turned out he was quite normal after all!
The tense and ashamed feelings immediately vanished, having been understood, as if his spirit had been gently embraced and comforted. Ning Wenru’s heart bloomed with joy, and he promptly moved forward to give Pang Zaiyuan a forceful hug before sitting back down, and said gratefully, “Thank you for understanding me, respecting my—those small hobbies. Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a sense of relief.”
“But why would you write such novels, and so many,” Pang Zaiyuan accepted Ning Wenru’s sudden embrace, smiling: “So, are you gay?”
Ning Wenru suddenly got stuck.
After making his guess, Pang Zaiyuan began deducing more things: “I’ve read all your novels, and noticed that every time you write about the protagonist’s love interest, it’s always around the same type—tall, muscular—and the protagonists in your writing always prefer this body type, showing no interest in slim or obese figures. So, you have a fixated fetish for men like me, and before you even met me, in truth, the roommate you wanted to ‘do’ was the athletic Yue Weijian.”
Ning Wenru went crazy: “…No way!!”
Heavens, this misunderstanding is huge.
But even if misunderstood, it’s not really a problem, right? The other party is almost about to win over their girlfriend anyway.
