Chapter 17 Poolside Incident
Reese's voice was cold, which made Carlo feel his inhumanity again.
"How come I'm teammates with a guy like you?"
At this time, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball while turning sideways to stay alert. He knew that he only had one chance. If he was intercepted by Peter or failed to make a layup before Peter controlled the area under the basket, he would be completely finished.
The only thing he was thankful for now was that Peter didn't know that he would definitely miss the shot.
Nie Chuan knew that no matter how good the skills were, they must be supported by explosive power and speed, but the time and frequency of his explosiveness would not be too many. He had to grasp the opportunity at that moment and must not make any mistakes!
Peter was just a door, shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to hip, and he would pass through him!
Nie Chuan came in front of Peter at an unprecedented speed, and stopped suddenly when Peter was about to step forward. Then, with a McGrath cross step, the ball was dribbled between his legs three times. The speed was too fast and Peter did not dare to take the ball rashly. The last dribble of Nie Chuan suddenly accelerated, like a hurricane, and swept past Peter's side. Peter even had the illusion that he was being carried away by the opponent.
Peter reacted quickly and chased after him. Seeing that Nie Chuan was about to make another layup, he jumped up without hesitation and blocked Nie Chuan.
Carter turned his head away and sighed in his heart: He knew this would be the result!
But something unexpected happened to everyone. Nie Chuan did not shoot, but landed. The next moment he jumped up again quickly.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched Nie Chuan throw the ball.
Peter jumped again without hesitation and was about to overtake Nie Chuan.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stretched their necks, not even daring to breathe.
The ball was thrown and hit the rim.
Nie Chuan's eyes were full of hope... Please go in! Go in!
The ball bounced back and fell into the basket.
"Oh——" Carter opened his mouth wide. He never expected that Nie Chuan could make the shot.
When the two men landed on the ground, Peter hit Nie Chuan hard, with such force that Nie Chuan's bones were about to break.
"Alan..." It was too late for Carlo to step forward when he realized something was wrong.
Nie Chuan had been knocked off balance.
Finished!
Just when Nie Chuan was thinking about how to land in a less funny posture, someone caught him from behind, and he smoothly fell into that person's arms.
The opponent stood very steadily, and he didn't even stagger backwards after being caught.
who is it?
Before Nie Chuan turned around, he heard a cold voice above his head: "It's over, Peter. He has scored three goals."
Peter stood there and everyone around him looked at him.
He knew how ugly his impulsiveness was. Not only did he lose the game, he also lost face.
He clenched his fists. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
Nie Chuan just stood there in a daze... Why did the voice behind him sound like Reese Reddington?
He looked at Carlo. Standing next to Carlo was an unknown classmate, but the person standing there was actually Reese!
At this time, the cheerleader Lily clapped her hands and walked towards them: "Haha! This is really exciting! Now everyone can continue the party!"
At this time, the hand that was originally holding Nie Chuan's waist loosened. Nie Chuan turned around with a stiff neck, then raised his head and met Reese's eyes.
“Um…thank you…”
Reese's lips curved into a heart-pounding arc. He leaned down, and it was the first time that Nie Chuan saw the outline of his eyes clearly.
They are obviously soft and beautiful lines, but what kind of momentum makes them look so sharp?
"Next time, I'd rather see you break a bone."
After saying that, Reese turned and left.
"Hey, Reese! Where are you going?"
"Go home, it's too boring here."
"The pool party won't last until dawn. Are you leaving now? That would be a real bummer, right?" Carlo spread out his hands, hoping to keep Reese.
Lily and the others also looked expectant.
Nie Chuan just didn't understand. What was so good about Reese, a guy who looked down on others?
Well, he has so many good points: he is handsome, tall, and has long legs. He is one of the best basketball players in the city, not just in the whole country. And he seems to be a top student! Wait, this guy drives a Land Rover! Why would a college student drive a Land Rover? It must have been bought by his dad! So he is a second-generation rich?
Thinking of this, Nie Chuan felt more and more unbalanced!
"Alan! Alan!" Carlo waved his hand in front of Nie Chuan, "Why don't you answer me every time I call you Alan?"
"Ah... I'm just not used to my English name..." Nie Chuan came back to his senses and remembered that he didn't really want to continue the pool party. "By the way, Carlo, I think I should go home too."
"Hey! I'll take you back tomorrow morning! It's so much fun here!"
Of course you find it fun when all the beauties are surrounding you!
"My mother will be worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, Carlo laughed out loud: "It turns out that you are still mommy's good boy!"
Nie Chuan's face immediately turned red, and he was so angry at Carlo that he couldn't speak.
"Carlo, you continue to play, I will take Nie Chuan home." Reese said.
Nie Chuan's nerves suddenly tensed up. What? Reese took him home? He didn't want to!
"Okay... that's fine." Carlo nodded regretfully.
Hey! Don't make decisions for me without my permission! What do you mean this is okay?
"Well... my coat fell in Lily's swimming pool, and I have to go get it back! Or, Reese, you go first, and I'll go back by myself!" Nie Chuan barely came up with such a lame excuse.
"Then I'll go with you to get the clothes back." Reese said lightly.
Nie Chuan's face almost fell... I don't want you to go with me to get clothes, okay...
No one can understand the desolation in Nie Chuan's heart.
Watching the two of them leaving, Carlo tilted his head and muttered to himself: "Hey... Didn't Reese have a duel today? Why is he here? Didn't he say that Alan needed to learn a lesson? Why did I go to catch him just now? Wait, even I couldn't react, but he rushed forward first! I understand, this guy just wanted to show his presence in front of Alan and gain his trust! He said something like 'learning a lesson' just to lull me into being careless - Reese is too scheming!"
By the pool, the party is still going on, and the games in the pool are becoming more and more popular and eye-catching.
Nie Chuan wanted to stop and take a look, but when he thought of Reese standing on the other side of the pool watching him, he lost interest. He returned to his original position, found his coat, and walked towards Reese.
At this moment, Reese was standing in a bright place, with his hands in his pockets and his face half raised, perhaps looking at the stars in the sky, or maybe he was looking at nothing.
Amid the noisy music and laughter, he was a very clear presence.
Nie Chuan didn't even understand why he was waiting for him.
Several girls were chased by boys with water guns and ran away. Nie Chuan could only move towards the edge of the swimming pool to avoid them.
The boy who was chasing the girl ran past Nie Chuan and bumped him with his elbow. Nie Chuan suddenly lost his balance. He wanted to stabilize himself to the side, but he didn't expect that the next step would be the swimming pool.
Before he could even scream "Damn it" he fell into the pool, splashing quite a bit of water.
Everyone looked over, followed by a burst of laughter.
Even Carlo, who was holding a beer, laughed with his shoulders shaking.
At that moment, Reese, who had been standing opposite, suddenly came running over. Before anyone could see clearly what happened, he jumped into the swimming pool like a sharp blade and swam quickly towards Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan, who had no idea what was happening, swam towards the edge of the pool. But within two seconds, he felt someone coming to his side, holding his chin and bringing him out of the water.
This location is a deep water area, two meters deep. Nie Chuan wiped the water stains off his face. When he saw clearly who lifted him out of the water, he choked twice.
"Reese...why...why are you here?"
"I'll take you ashore."
It was the first time that Nie Chuan saw Reese frowning. The water flowed from his forehead all the way to his chin, reflecting the not very bright light.
It felt like something in my heart was violently touched.
"I can swim..." Nie Chuan answered stutteringly.
Reese suddenly let go of Nie Chuan, and Nie Chuan swam towards the shore as if running for his life.
That's when everyone started talking.
"what happens?"
"Why did Reese jump into the water?"
"Did you see Reese's speed just now? It was too fast!"
"Doesn't that Asian boy know how to swim?"
Nie Chuan had already reached the shore, water dripping from his entire body.
He turned around and found that Reese was still there. After a few seconds, he swam slowly to the shore.
Nie Chuan bent down and wanted to pull Reese up, but Reese completely ignored Nie Chuan's intention and easily paddled ashore.
At this time, Carlo was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what was going on at first, but now he understood. He remembered that he had said to Reese that Nie Chuan couldn't swim. But it was obvious... Nie Chuan swam very well...
A cry of grief rang out from the bottom of Carlo's heart: It's over!
Sure enough, Reese had no expression on his face as he walked towards Carlo step by step.
His T-shirt was completely clung to his body, even his basketball shorts, almost outlining his entire figure.
With every step he took, the girls in the swimming pool and by the pool couldn't help but look at him. For the first time, Nie Chuan understood the true definition of the word "sexy".
"Hey… Reese, are you okay?"
Carlo laughed and stepped back.
Reese suddenly attacked and punched Carlo in the face, which completely stunned Nie Chuan.
What's the matter?
Why did Reese want Carlo! What happened?
Carlo covered his face and almost sat on the ground. Everyone else rushed forward to stop the fight.
"Hey! Tell me what happened!"
