Nie Chuan's eyes couldn't help but feel sore, he couldn't even see the texture on the floor clearly.

"You look sad."

"No." Nie Chuan replied.

"You did. Because you just concentrated and tried your best."

The voice was too close and too clear. When Nie Chuan raised his eyes, he saw Reese bending down, supporting his knees with his hands, and deliberately leaning his head under Nie Chuan's face, just to see his expression clearly.

Nie Chuan took a step back, but he never expected that Reese would stretch out his finger and gently scratch his left eye with his knuckles.

It was clearly a weak movement, but it instantly made Nie Chuan's tears fall.

"If a person has never tried hard, failure will not make him sad. If you try your best in every goal in the future like you did just now, no one can stop you."

Please don't give me any inspirational words. They are suitable for Connor, but not for you.

Nie Chuan rubbed his eyes and complained, and his stomach also made a gurgling sound.

At this time, Reese took back his watch from the chair beside him and took a look: "It's already ten o'clock."

"What? It's already ten o'clock?" Nie Chuan was dumbfounded.

Just like that, he had been playing ball for more than four hours without realizing it?

How come he didn't feel anything...Ah, no, he felt very hungry now and was about to faint.

"Let's go and have something to eat." Reese threw a white towel on Nie Chuan's face.

Before Nie Chuan had time to wipe the sweat off his face with a towel, someone held his head down.

He felt Reese's hand rubbing the top of his head through the towel.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Ah?" Nie Chuan raised his head and saw Reese's eyes.

Still as indifferent, the raised eyebrow makes people feel a little scared, and the smile at the corner of his lips has a different kind of sexiness in his coldness.

"No...I'm not afraid anymore."

I'm not afraid of you!

The only restaurant nearby still open at this hour was McDonald's.

This time, Nie Chuan didn't take too long to decide before ordering. He ate the burger, finished two pairs of chicken wings, drank the Coke at the fastest speed ever, and then couldn't help but burp for a long time.

"Eating so fast can easily lead to esophageal cancer," Reese said in Chinese.

Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. Although Reese's Chinese was not as standard as that of a native Chinese, if there was a so-called Chinese TOEFL test, this guy would definitely get full marks in oral English.

Reese had just finished his burger and was slowly eating his fries. The sight of his tongue lightly pressing against the top of the fries before biting them off was inexplicably sexy.

Nie Chuan suddenly felt that it was a pity for him not to shoot commercials!

For example, sports drinks, sports perfume, men's underwear!

Then the LEDs in the downtown mall showed Reese playing basketball in brand-name men's underwear... Those women must have been standing under the LEDs all day taking pictures of him with their cell phones!

"What are you thinking about?" Reese leaned back in his chair, a teasing smile on his lips.

He seemed to have guessed Nie Chuan's thoughts again.

Nie Chuan suddenly became nervous: "No! I didn't think about anything! I'm just a little tired!"

As soon as Nie Chuan moved to the right, he bumped into Reese's left leg under the table. Reese was wearing basketball shorts, and his slender calves were exposed. Nie Chuan's leg just happened to rub against it, and he was so shocked that he quickly retracted it and dodged to the other side. But what shocked Nie Chuan was that he bumped into Reese's right leg again.

Reese's right leg felt Nie Chuan's collision and bumped back, as if warning him not to move.

Only then did Nie Chuan realize that he was actually sitting between Reese's legs!

It's weird... The two-seater table at McDonald's is too narrow! Also, why are Reese Reddington's legs so long? Can they be used as chopsticks?

Reese leaned back in his chair, looking at Nie Chuan calmly. If he didn't stand up, it would be inconvenient for Nie Chuan to leave his seat.

"I...I want to go to the convenience store next door to buy something..."

"What to buy?" Reese asked casually.

"chocolate……"

"Oh." Reese finally stood up with his hands in his pockets.

Nie Chuan let out a sigh of relief and came to the convenience store next to him.

I haven't eaten chocolate for a long time! Although I was full after eating a hamburger just now, when I saw the various chocolate packages, Nie Chuan felt that he still had a lot of room in his stomach.

He quickly took two and when he walked out, he found that Reese was actually putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the shelf next to the cash register with a smile on his face.

Nie Chuan followed his gaze and immediately blood rushed to his ears.

Because there are condoms of various styles and flavors...

A guy like Reese who is good-looking, a top student, and a key player on the basketball team, there should be many girls who would like to have a one-night stand with him, right? And with Reese's physical strength, maybe he can try all the condoms here in one night?

We are all men, and Nie Chuan deeply feels the difference between himself and Reese.

Seeing Nie Chuan coming, Reese chuckled and asked, "Why are your ears red?"

"No..." Nie Chuan put the chocolate on the cashier counter as usual.

"Go get two more boxes of tampons," Reese continued.

"Huh? What? Tampon?" Nie Chuan reacted quickly, "Is it for your girlfriend?"

Reese frowned and looked at Nie Chuan as if he were a fool: "It's for you, idiot."

Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. He was a man and didn't have a menstrual period, so what did he need this for?

Seeing his bewildered look, Reese suddenly reached out and pressed hard on his nose: "It's not stuffed underneath, it's stuffed here."

Nie Chuan suddenly realized that if he was hit in the nose by his opponent's elbow during practice or his nose was injured and bleeding for any other reason, he could just insert a tampon!

It's just...why does it feel so weird?

Perhaps because his physical strength was completely exhausted today, Nie Chuan couldn't open his eyes after sitting in Reese's Land Rover.

When he got out of the car, Reese suddenly called him.

"Hello."

"Ah?" Nie Chuan turned around, staggering.

"Don't tell Carlo and the others that I practiced with you today."

"Why?"

"Because they're annoying." Reese's voice dropped an octave.

Nie Chuan suddenly woke up: "I know."

"If you tell them, I'll use your head like a basketball."

Reese raised his eyebrows, and Nie Chuan shuddered.

"I...I promise!"

The Land Rover started its engine and Reese sped away.

When he returned to his student apartment, Zhou Bin had just returned from the library.

Nie Chuan just lay down on his bed, not wanting to move at all.

"Achuan! You're going to sleep like this? What did you do tonight?" Zhou Bin asked as he put the book down.

"play basketball."

"Playing basketball..." Zhou Bin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "Achuan, you'd better get up quickly! You're going to sleep after playing basketball without taking a shower?"

"I'm so tired... Let's talk about it tomorrow..."

Zhou Bin sat helplessly on the bedside, looking at Nie Chuan who was lying like a pile of mud on the bed opposite him.

Nie Chuan didn't even have the strength to drink a sip of water.

Zhou Bin sighed helplessly: "Do you want me to wake you up tomorrow?"

"……want……"

"I knew it would be like this." Zhou Bin came to Nie Chuan's bed and hit the back of his head with a pillow. "I want to talk to you for a while."

"...We'll talk about it tomorrow..."

But Zhou Bin obviously didn't want to wait until tomorrow to discuss the details.

"Oh, you know that Serin and I are both studying journalism. We have the same required courses, right?"

Speaking of Serin, Nie Chuan suddenly perked up and looked up: "What happened to Serin?"

Is she really with Reese Reddington?

When Nie Chuan thought of Reese standing in front of the condom shelf in the convenience store tonight, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Cerin asked if you have time this weekend. Her friends are having a pool party and asked if we would like to go."

"Pool party?" Nie Chuan's eyes lit up, and what came to his mind was the scene of countless beauties in bikinis jumping out of the swimming pool.

Serin twisted her waist, came to Nie Chuan who was sitting by the swimming pool, and put a glass of wine to his lips.

Ah...the nosebleed is going to dye the entire swimming pool red!

"Hey! Hey! Come back to your senses, idiot!" Zhou Bin speechlessly hit Nie Chuan with the pillow again.

"Go! Go! Of course I have to go!" Nie Chuan nodded seriously and vigorously.

Zhou Bin looked at Nie Chuan helplessly and said, "Then remember to call Serin back tomorrow. But... with your figure, do you think your figure is good-looking in swimming trunks compared to those on the swimming team, tennis team, and rugby team?"

“…Will those people go?”

Zhou Bin nodded.

"Then what should I do?"

"My suggestion is that you tell Celine that you really want to attend the pool party, but because your body is not comfortable for a few days every month, you can only sit on the shore fully dressed and drink drinks to admire their good figures."

"Are there always those days when it's inconvenient?" Nie Chuan frowned, then grabbed a pillow and started hitting Zhou Bin wildly.

Nie Chuan was looking forward to the pool party. He and Zhou Bin had been in this country for quite a long time, but they had never integrated into the local people's life and culture. Nie Chuan also wanted to know if the pool party for college students was like the one in the movies.

He fell asleep quickly, and Zhou Bin resigned himself to taking off his basketball shoes and covering him with a blanket.

Nie Chuan had a very beautiful dream. In the dream, he was sitting by the swimming pool, and Serin was like a mermaid, sinking into the water and swimming towards him.

When she emerged from the water, her wet hair stuck to the back of her head, and her nose tip and eyebrows were all covered with warm water droplets. She put a strand of hair behind her ear, supported her hands on both sides of Nie Chuan, raised her head and kissed Nie Chuan.

At that moment, Nie Chuan was pulled into the swimming pool by a force. He was a good swimmer and he would go swimming in the river in his grandfather's hometown every summer vacation during high school. But the opponent's strength was too great, and he struggled in desperation until he could see clearly the face of the guy holding him.

Reese Reddington!
