Nie Chuan returned to his dormitory and opened the file in the USB drive with great joy. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the screen!

What's this?

Is such a long list a must for daily practice?

Even if he extended the work to 72 hours a day, he still wouldn't be able to finish it!

Why does he get up every morning to run 3,000 meters? Will he still have the energy to go to class after running?

Not to mention jumping drills, passing drills, shooting drills, and exercises involving all kinds of fitness equipment…

Nie Chuan leaned back, and at this moment Zhou Bin came back holding a book.

"Achuan, what's wrong with you?"

"The daily training plan that the basketball team coach has drawn up for me... I feel like I can go to Mars... It's a completely impossible task."

"You joined their basketball team? That's DK's basketball team!" Zhou Bin showed an incredible expression, "I thought you would be eliminated!"

"Huh?" Nie Chuan looked at Zhou Bin, "Are you my brother?"

"There's nothing we can do. Although DK has been declining in recent years, their performance showed signs of recovery last year. They have sent many great players to the NBA!"

“…”

Zhou Bin put on his glasses, leaned towards Nie Chuan's computer screen, squinted his eyes and looked at it, then said: "Although the training content is a bit harsh, it is not impossible to complete it."

"What?"

"The only necessary exercises are long-distance running, jumping, passing and shooting."

"You have to shoot 300 balls!" Nie Chuan's eyes widened.

"Three hundred... I think I heard there's a special serving machine? I heard it can take people ten minutes to shoot three hundred shots, but one shot every two seconds, that's Ewing's level, right? Otherwise, why don't you ask Carlo how they practice shooting?"

"But these pull-ups and grip training..."

"Isn't there a line of words here? Just choose two of these items every day? It's just that these items must be covered within a week."

Nie Chuan leaned his head towards the screen: "You are right! How can anyone read such small words?"

Zhou Bin smiled helplessly.

"But what if the coach really wants you to do this?"

"Then we have to give it a try no matter how hard we try..." Nie Chuan sighed.

"Nie Chuan, I like you the way you are now."

"Why? Are you..." Nie Chuan pretended to be nervous and hugged his chest.

"Fool. Haven't you heard that a serious man is the most attractive?"

In order to cope with tomorrow's work, Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin went to the library. Speaking of which, Nie Chuan thought of Reese.

This is Reese's elective course.

Zhou Bin's girlfriend had been waiting for him there. Although the girl didn't have a stunning appearance, she looked pretty and her two dimples were cute when she smiled. Nie Chuan could imagine why Zhou Bin liked her so much.

Nie Chuan lowered his head and prepared for tomorrow's class with peace of mind, completing a short essay in the process.

At nine o'clock, Nie Chuan returned to the dormitory alone with his notebook, while Zhou Bin wanted to spend some more time with his girlfriend.

When Nie Chuan walked to the door of his dormitory, he saw Serin standing there, seemingly waiting for someone. Nie Chuan had a vague feeling that she was waiting for him.

"Hey, Serene."

Nie Chuan waved at her and walked closer to take a look. He found that Serin was still wearing light makeup. The light from above made her look like she was blending into the night.

"Going to study?"

"Are you waiting for me?" Nie Chuan blinked deliberately.

Serin nodded and said, "Yes, I'm waiting for you."

"What's going on? Another pool party?" Nie Chuan asked, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

Serin paused for a moment, then said, "It's not a pool party. It's my birthday party. Do you want to come? There will be fruit beer, Coca-Cola to drink, and the barbecue is seasoned by my mother herself. You can't get it anywhere else."

Nie Chuan suddenly remembered the time when he fell into the swimming pool and swam to the shore, and Serin came over with a bath towel, but she gave the towel to Reese, not him.

"Just me?"

"If possible, I hope you can invite the basketball team to come along!" Serin smiled widely and her eyes were full of expectation. She must have heard that Nie Chuan had been selected by DK's basketball team.

She never concealed her love for Reese.

This is not superficial, it is real.

"Actually, I'm not the focus of your birthday party. If you want to invite Reese, you can just go."

Nie Chuan didn't know why, but he particularly wanted to destroy this unrealistic expectation.

Seren paused.

She understood that Nie Chuan had seen through her long ago.

Her eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with mist, and appeared very bright under the light.

“I know he never really saw me in his eyes, I just want to be closer to the person I like and spend more time with him.

I didn't think about asking for his response. If you don't want to invite him for me, forget it. I'd be happy if you were willing to come to my birthday party."

After saying that, Serin turned and strode away.

Nie Chuan took a breath and pressed his forehead. He didn't know why he said such a thing. Maybe he just wanted to expose Serin to avenge her for ignoring him.

That night, Nie Chuan did heel raises for an hour with his feet on books as usual before going to bed.

Before going to bed, he suddenly thought of something, got up and opened the refrigerator again.

"Hey, Achuan, what are you doing?" Zhou Bin asked while brushing his teeth.

"I want to drink milk! I want to grow taller!"

Zhou Bin rolled his eyes helplessly: "Can I give you a very serious suggestion?"

"What suggestions?"

"You'd better not drink milk before going to bed. According to my calculations of your biological clock, if you drink milk at 10 o'clock in the evening, you will get up to urinate around 4:30 tomorrow morning."

“…”

Nie Chuan put the milk back and went straight to bed.

The next morning, when Nie Chuan was still half asleep, Zhou Bin kicked him: "Ah Chuan! Ah Chuan, wake up! Aren't you going to start morning training today?"

"Hmm..." Nie Chuan turned over and planned to continue sleeping.

"Do you know who is waiting for you downstairs for morning training?"

“Who is it…?”

If it's Carlo, it's okay to let him wait a little longer...

"It's Reese Reddington!"

This name made Nie Chuan suddenly fall off the bed. He rushed to the window in a hurry and saw the tall man standing indifferently under the lamppost.

"That's not right!" Nie Chuan shouted.

Reese seemed to have heard the shout. He slowly raised his head and hooked his finger at Nie Chuan who was standing in a bird's nest in front of the window, and mouthed: Come down.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Bin asked.

"Coach Gordon said that the teammate he arranged for me for pack practice is... a guy with a good temper, superb skills, and who always takes good care of me!"

Nie Chuan completely collapsed.

"How did Coach Gordon know that Reese has a good temper?"

"Well... I haven't hit you once so far, so you really have a good temper." Zhou Bin shrugged. "As for whether I take good care of you, only you know."

"Are you my brother?"

"It was your brother who reminded you not to keep Reese Reddington waiting any longer."

Nie Chuan casually put on his sportswear and was about to go out, but Zhou Bin pulled him back.

"At least brush your teeth and wash your face before you go out! Aren't you afraid that Reddington will beat you up if you speak?"

Nie Chuan realized that Reese seemed to be very clean, so he rushed into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, then came downstairs of the apartment building with his messy hair like a whirlwind.

Including the time he had spent in bed, Reese seemed to have been waiting for him for nearly twenty minutes.

"Hey, morning!"

Good morning!

Reese didn't look angry, but instead lifted Nie Chuan's chin with his finger.

The icy blue eyes instantly drowned Nie Chuan.

"I thought you were Cinderella getting ready for the banquet. It took so long, but you still haven't put on your crystal shoes."

Although Reese was laughing, Nie Chuan knew that it was definitely a mockery! Definitely, definitely a mockery! Definitely, definitely, definitely a mockery!

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva, wondering if this made Reese angry.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"not yet……"

"It's good that you didn't eat it, otherwise it would be a waste if you spit it out."

“…”

Reese threw a Snickers bar to Nie Chuan: "Eat it to raise your blood sugar."

Nie Chuan quickly opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth.

Reese turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Where is your running recorder?"

"ah?"

"So there is no?"

Nie Chuan nodded.

Reese took off the sports watch on his wrist and put it on Nie Chuan's wrist.

"Look, when you start exercising, press this button, and it will start intelligently counting steps, calories burned, exercise time, and exercise mileage."

"Oh, okay! I'll buy a new one after class today and return this one to you then." Nie Chuan was a little flattered.

Reese gave him his things to use!

"I'll give you what you used."

Reese turned away.

So, Reese was disgusted with him? Reese didn't want anything he had used?

Nie Chuan suddenly felt like he had turned into E. coli...

There were already quite a few people jogging on the school's 400-meter track in the morning, including members of the school's track and field team.

"You don't need to worry about how long it takes, you just need to finish the run."

Nie Chuan was about to cry. Finished the run? It would take seven and a half laps to finish three thousand meters!

"If you can't run anymore, walk for a while. Wait until you can breathe again, then continue running."

Reese's words were like a pardon for Nie Chuan!

If he really couldn't do it, he would run the first 1,000 meters and then walk the remaining 2,000 meters!

Nie Chuan had only run a dozen meters when he was abandoned by Reese.

His stride was larger than Nie Chuan's, and his speed was even and steady. One could tell at a glance that three thousand meters was a piece of cake for him.

After Nie Chuan finished the first lap, his stamina was still good. There was no need to pursue speed anyway!

After running the second lap, he felt really tired. He took two steps and saw Reese had already run the third lap. He passed by in front of him with a cold look. Nie Chuan quickly gave up the idea of ​​slacking off and continued running obediently.

Nie Chuan's third lap was over. When Nie Chuan felt that he could walk half a lap to rest, Reese, who had already run to the opposite side, turned his head and stared at him.

Nie Chuan was about to cry. Didn’t he say he could take a rest?

But he really needed to adjust his breathing. Trying to resist the pressure from Reese's gaze, Nie Chuan walked for a short while before finally running again.

By this time Reese had already run to his side again.

His steps were not at all messy, and his breathing was a little deeper than before, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was clear that he was able to handle it with ease.

"Nie Chuan."

"Ah?" Nie Chuan raised his head and saw Reese holding a box of chocolates in his hand.

"Original from Switzerland, not available in the United States. Six flavors, made by a master craftsman. If you can finish this lap, I'll give it to you."

"What?" Nie Chuan's eyes lit up.

He had seen someone introduce this brand of chocolate in a chocolate forum before. The price of just a small box was enough to buy Nie Chuan chocolate for a whole year.

"Do you want it? Or don't you want it?" Reese stopped and asked with his head tilted.

"I want it! Of course!"

Nie Chuan never thought in his life that he would have the chance to eat that kind of luxury chocolate!

"Then follow me. If you don't, I'll eat them. You can fill the box."

Reese turned around and Nie Chuan followed without saying a word.

"Watch your breath."

"Mobilize your thighs."

"Swing your arms."

Nie Chuan had been following not far behind Reese, his eyes fixed on the chocolate box in his right hand.

That’s a velvet box, such a precious chocolate packaging that it’s comparable to jewelry!

Nie Chuan wanted to have a bite so badly!

Whenever he was about to fall behind, Reese would slow down his pace and shake the box of chocolates in his hand.

"……unacceptable!"

Nie Chuan felt that he was threatened by Reese... rather than seduced.

But what made Nie Chuan feel incredible was that with Reese running with him, Nie Chuan actually completed a 3,000-meter long-distance race!

This is simply a miracle!

The high school men's long-distance running test was only 1,500 meters, but he actually completed 3,000 meters.

When he stopped, his heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest and the whole world was spinning.

Just as he was about to sit down on the ground, Reese picked him up.

"You are not allowed to sit."

"I can't stand anymore..."

"Even if you can't stand, you have to keep moving forward until your heartbeat recovers, otherwise you are not allowed to sit down."

Reese half-supported Nie Chuan with one hand and walked on the playground.

Nie Chuan's mind went blank, and he could only hear a buzzing sound.

"Where's my...my chocolate!" Nie Chuan did not forget the spoils he fought so hard for.

"for you."

Reese readily pressed the box into Nie Chuan's hands.

"Why is it so light?" Nie Chuan shook it, but there was no sound. When he opened the box, he suddenly found that it was empty. "Where's the chocolate?"

"I ate it this morning." Reese's answer was so matter-of-fact.

Nie Chuan was so angry that he even raised his fist at him. He had never been so brave in front of Reese in his life!

Unfortunately, his fist was easily covered by Reese's palm, and Reese patiently pried his fingers apart one by one.

"You are kidding me..."

Nie Chuan looked at Reese's swaying figure and realized that punching Reese was tantamount to seeking death!

Reese did not answer, but took out another piece of chocolate from his other pocket and threw it into Nie Chuan's mouth, almost choking him to death.

The rich cocoa aroma and the soft taste seemed to wrap around Nie Chuan's tongue, and Nie Chuan's eyes narrowed.

"What kind of chocolate is this?"

"Godiva."

Nie Chuan's eyes lit up. He remembered Zhou Bin saying that Godiva was known as the Rolls-Royce of chocolate!

"very delicious!"

"nonsense."

"Anything else?"

"If you can hold on tomorrow, I'll give you a whole box."

"Really! I can definitely hold on!"

"It doesn't matter. There are only eight pills in a box anyway."

Reese raised his eyebrows, the subtext being "You won't be able to eat for long."

“…”

It was not until Reese took him around the playground for almost two laps that Nie Chuan's heartbeat calmed down.

He lay down on the grass in the middle of the field, feeling that he had accomplished all his goals for the day.

But he knew there were jumping jacks and shooting drills.

He said he wanted to die. Fortunately, these two exercises can be put off until after today's class.

"Tomorrow, you will feel more relaxed than today."

Reese's slightly cold voice made Nie Chuan realize that today was not the end, but the beginning of torture.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Nie Chuan felt something was tugging at the leg of his  sweatpants , slowly, like a caress or some kind of teasing, and Nie Chuan's heart began to itch.

Oh my god, who is being a hooligan?

Nie Chuan opened his left eye, and all the beautiful thoughts flew away. He was so scared that he almost got a stitch in the side!

All he saw was Reese standing between his legs, with his left foot raised, using his toes to lift up the leg of his  sweatpants .

Reese tilted his face, raised his eyebrows, and said in a very cold voice: "You don't wear any underpants under your basketball shorts?"

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva, then he remembered that Reese and Carlo seemed to be wearing black tights.

"Ah...it fell out of my panties." Reese said in a very calm tone.

"What...what fell out of my underwear?" Nie Chuan sat up nervously and reached out to pull his trouser legs. At that moment, he was so embarrassed that he almost didn't want to live.

He covered himself with his hands, blushing and shouting, "Don't look at it!"

"Why not show it to me? It's quite cute."

Reese said this in Chinese. His voice was cold, but the ending tone rose slightly, sounding a bit smiling and a bit teasing.

The corners of his lips slowly rose, his eyes still fixed on the place that Nie Chuan was covering.

"You're so cute!" Nie Chuan yelled at Reese in Chinese for the first time.

Reese's expression didn't even change, he just squatted down and looked into Nie Chuan's eyes: "So the reason you don't wear underpants is not for people to admire your balls."

"Nonsense, how is that possible! I just...my underwear was ruined by washing!"

Nie Chuan was extremely embarrassed. He wanted to close his legs, but Reese was squatting there, so he couldn't do anything.

"It's really not something that people can appreciate?" Reese's eyelids slowly drooped.

He had beautiful eyes, but when his eyelids were lowered, Nie Chuan felt an unknown force.

"How can anyone appreciate it!"

Why don’t you stick your balls out of your pants and show them to others?

"Then remember this, next time you don't wear underwear, I'll crush your balls."

Every word is full of power.

Nie Chuan was already in great pain.

He was so scared that he moved backwards using his elbows to support his upper body, and stood up immediately as soon as he was out of Reese's range.

Then, Reese's lips slowly curved up. He didn't know if it was Nie Chuan's illusion, but he felt that Reese was teasing him and just wanted to see him in embarrassment.

But Nie Chuan didn't dare to ask "Are you kidding me?"

"Come with me." Reese raised his hand, grabbed Nie Chuan by the back of his collar, and pulled him off the court.

Nie Chuan's heart was beating fast. Would Reese really find a place to crush his balls?

But Nie Chuan was wrong. Reese simply took Nie Chuan back to his student apartment and took out two pairs of black underpants from the closet.

"Take it and wear it."

Reese threw them to Nie Chuan.

After Nie Chuan caught them, he realized that they didn't even have the labels removed, and were completely new.

"Are they new?"

"Yeah." Reese walked into the kitchen and started toasting sandwiches and frying eggs.

Nie Chuan stood on tiptoe to watch and found that Reese's movements were very skillful. Even the movement of knocking the egg on the edge of the frying pan was full of aristocratic elegance.

When Reese turned around, Nie Chuan quickly sat back on the sofa, pretending to lower his head to look at the trademark carefully, and then he was stunned.

"Eh? Why is it a small size?"

No matter how Nie Chuan looked at it, he didn't think Reese was wearing a small size! Not to mention that his place was so "magnificent", a small size wouldn't be able to cover it, right?

It will be broken...

Could it be that he bought the wrong one, so he just threw it to himself to wear?

"Of course it's the small size." Reese pushed the plate in front of Nie Chuan, "It suits you best."

No matter how dumb Nie Chuan was, he understood that Reese was mocking his little brother "little".

Anything can be tolerated, but this is the only thing that cannot be tolerated.

Just as Nie Chuan was about to retort, Reese placed a glass of milk next to the plate: "Eat breakfast. You've  been exercising a lot today."

Huh? Was he dreaming? Reese made him breakfast.

At this time, Reese no longer intended to continue discussing the "size" issue with him, but instead spread out today's morning paper and looked at the headlines.

Nie Chuan picked up the sandwich and bit it hard.

Holy crap! It's delicious! It's totally different from the ones in the convenience store!

The ham seemed to have been fried in butter, so fragrant!

"Hey, why is there beef?" It was the first time for Nie Chuan to eat beef in a sandwich.

"Beef is high in protein. You need energy."

The moment Reese supported his chin with one hand and looked away from the newspaper, Nie Chuan felt as if the sound of the whole world had stopped.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Because you are handsome.

Of course, Nie Chuan couldn't say such words.
