Chapter 37 Chocolate-flavored Taotao
"cbu?"
"Yeah, I find it strange too. Isn't CBU in New York? It's not even the holiday season yet, so why are its students here?"
"What's his name?"
"Oen...Oen..." Nie Chuan couldn't remember the other person's last name.
"Earne Whishaw."
"Ah, yes! That's the name!" Nie Chuan nodded, "Do you know him?"
"He is a shooting guard for the CBU basketball team and can play small forward at any time."
Nie Chuan was stunned. A shooting guard needs to have superb outside scoring skills, not to mention the speed and scoring skills of a small forward.
As a forward-guard swingman, Owen Whishaw must be very strong.
"What did he say to you?"
"Nothing, he thought I was a middle school student and wanted me to join CBU."
"You didn't tell him you weren't?" Reese's brows frowned slightly.
Nie Chuan shook his head: "He said I was a middle school student, and I was a little upset... so I just wanted to lie to him... it shouldn't be a big deal."
"No one can fool Earnshaw."
There was a force in Reese's gaze that made Nie Chuan feel that the lie he told Owen might become a big problem.
"Don't be alone with him next time, remember?"
"Okay, I'll remember that." Nie Chuan nodded vigorously.
"Yeah." Reese rubbed Nie Chuan's head with his palm, "Go back to the dormitory. Pay attention to the wound when you take a shower."
"Got it." Nie Chuan quickly jumped off the hood of the car, picked up his sports bag, and went back to the dormitory.
Zhou Bin hasn't come back yet. He must be on a date with his girlfriend.
Nie Chuan took out his laptop and searched for Owen Whishaw's name, and immediately a lot of reports came out.
It turns out that this guy is very famous in the league and is also a target for poaching by the NBA.
Nie Chuan clicked on the quarterfinals match between UDK and CBU last year. Obviously, UDK's cooperation was perfect, and Connor brought everyone's ability to the limit, but DK's defense was repeatedly pierced by Owen. He not only blocked Connor's dispatching ability, but also always unexpectedly blocked Ewing's outside scoring. Throughout the game, Ewing only successfully shot twice, which was simply not Ewing's level. Montenegro also showed weakness in the face of Owen. Owen changed hands twice in a row during the shooting process and dunked hard. Montenegro's air blocking ability was useless to Owen.
The only one who could stop Owen was Reese. The duel between the two in the first half was so intense and exciting that Nie Chuan didn't even dare to breathe. Owen's offensive style could be described as fierce, and when it collided with Reese's sharpness, it was almost like tearing the court apart.
In the first half, Owen had a slight advantage, laying the foundation for CBU's lead. If it were any other team, they would have been left far behind by CBU, but DK held on to the score until the last five minutes. Everyone was exhausted, even the always optimistic Connor looked depressed. But Reese's speed and concentration in the last five minutes far exceeded everyone's expectations. He kept tearing apart CBU's defense and broke through Owen's defense again and again. Whether it was fake moves or layup timing, he grasped them perfectly, making the last five minutes of this game the essence of the essence.
When Reese made a sharp change of direction to break through Owen's defense and sealed the victory with a reverse layup in the air, Nie Chuan felt that his eyes were about to burn.
The final victory came, even though Nie Chuan did not belong to this game, he still felt so proud.
When Reese was hugged by Carlo and Ewing, there was only his back.
However, Nie Chuan felt that the presence of this back figure was so powerful.
He leaned back and rested his head on the back of the chair.
He really didn't expect that Owen was such a powerful opponent. If he faced Owen himself, he would probably be killed instantly.
And I actually lied to Owen... If we meet in the league, Owen might give me a good beating?
Forget it, don’t think too much about it, Reese is here!
Nie Chuan had a good sleep, and the next afternoon, Carlo arranged a confrontation practice. Carlo, Ewing and Nie Chuan were in the same group, and their opponents were Reese, Heishan and Peter.
Peter seemed very excited to be able to join this competition exercise, and being able to compete with Nie Chuan was his chance to make up for his loss to Nie Chuan at the pool party.
The basketball team's cheerleaders got the opportunity from somewhere, and Lily brought all the girls here in short skirts.
Nie Chuan saw Serin in a miniskirt. This was the first time he appreciated Serin's good figure. Serin was not a skinny girl, she had a well-proportioned figure and long legs. Nie Chuan couldn't help but keep looking at her.
Ewing came to Nie Chuan while chewing gum, waved his hand and said, "Hey, Allen, do you like that girl?"
“Ah… um…”
Carlo put his arm on Nie Chuan's shoulder and said with a wicked smile: "If we win today, I promise that Serin will fall in love with you. I'll give you a dozen condoms!"
"Ah?" Nie Chuan's ears suddenly turned red.
Carlo's eyes widened and he said, "Good God, Alan, you are inexperienced, aren't you?"
Nie Chuan certainly understood what Carlo meant by "experience". He pushed him away and walked away with his head down: "What's it got to do with you!"
Ewing punched Carlo and said, "Yeah, it's none of your business! Do you think everyone is as promiscuous as you, sticking to every girl they see? Your penis is probably rotten!"
Carlo smiled evilly and bumped Ewing with his waist: "Do you want to try to see if my little brother is rotten or not?"
"Try your devil!"
At this time, Serin followed Reese's gaze and saw Nie Chuan who lowered his head and seemed very depressed.
Reese came to Nie Chuan with his hands in his pockets and lifted Nie Chuan's forehead with his fingers: "You didn't do any warm-up exercises, what are you thinking about?"
"...Wait a minute, don't let me lose too badly."
“I never drain the water.”
"Then pretend I didn't say anything."
Reese lowered his eyes, looked at Nie Chuan's red ears, and chuckled: "What did Carlo say again?"
"He said if I won, he would give me a dozen condoms."
Nie Chuan thought that after hearing this, Reese would probably give Carlo a good beating.
"Oh, even if I give it to you, will you use it?"
"How could I not know how to use it!"
Isn’t this too bullying?
Nie Chuan raised his head and glared at Reese. When his eyes met the other's sunken lips, he realized that this guy was making fun of him again.
"If you lose again..." Reese turned sideways and leaned close to Nie Chuan's ear, "I will personally give you a dozen condoms and teach you how to use them step by step."
"Hey! Bastard!"
Nie Chuan started cursing and then he covered his ears.
Was it an illusion? Why did he feel as if Reese's lips had just touched his ear?
Everyone looked in Nie Chuan's direction, seemingly wondering why he was cursing at Reese.
But Reese had already stopped smiling, his eyes were as cold as ever.
The two sides competed for the ball, Montenegro beat Carlo, Reese dribbled the ball straight into the opponent's back, and Nie Chuan blocked him.
Nie Chuan was prepared for Reese's sudden stop and acceleration. His knees moved with Reese's shaking shoulders, and all his nerves were focused.
On Reese.
Soon Ewing also came to Reese's side, and together with Nie Chuan, he attacked from the front and back.
"Reese——" Montenegro came to meet.
Risto jumped into the air with the ball. Ewing thought he was going to pass the ball to Montenegro, but unexpectedly he raised his hand and shot!
Nie Chuan jumped up desperately, but his fingertips were still one centimeter away from the basketball. The ball drew a beautiful parabola and Reese scored.
"Tsk." Nie Chuan wiped the sweat off his chin with the back of his hand.
Reese raised his eyebrows: "I said I won't let you off."
After saying that, Reese returned to defense.
Throughout the game, Nie Chuan faced off against Reese countless times, defending more rigorously each time, but Reese still managed to get past him beyond his expectations.
Every time Reese scored a goal, the cheers from the cheerleaders were especially loud.
Of course, many of them are fans of Carlo and Ewing. Whenever Carlo dunks or Ewing scores a three-pointer, some of them will perform backflips.
Nie Chuan had always thought that such scenes could only be seen in youth movies, but he never expected that he would become a part of this scene. It was a pity that he really didn't have the energy to appreciate the cheerleaders' dancing. At this time, Heishan was dribbling the ball and about to enter his defense zone.
Nie Chuan followed closely beside Heishan, defending his passing side. At this time, Reese rushed forward and Heishan was about to pass the ball.
Almost no one saw clearly how Nie Chuan did it. They only knew that he used his right leg as the axis, spun around, and then jumped up, intercepting the ball as it was passed.
"oh--"
Lily, the captain of the cheerleading team, was stunned.
Nie Chuan rushed towards the opponent's basket with the ball. The pace of the game suddenly accelerated, and Carlo and Ewing ran on both sides of Nie Chuan.
Reese had caught up, and Nie Chuan made an emergency stop. Everyone was wondering whether he would pass the ball to Carlo or Ewing, but Nie Chuan shook his shoulders and accelerated again. Reese followed closely and blocked his direction of breakout. He was not discouraged, but dribbled the ball behind his back and passed the ball to Ewing at the moment of changing direction to the other side.
The pass was so good that Reese had no time to stop it.
Ewing caught the ball and shot, making a three-pointer.
"Well done! Allen!" Ewing gave Nie Chuan a thumbs up.
Nie Chuan lifted the collar of his T-shirt and wiped the sweat from his chin. He stared at Reese, and there was no fear of Reese in his eyes, but a persistence in trying to surpass him.
Lily turned her head and whispered to Serin beside her: "You know that black-haired boy, right? His English name is Alan?"
"Yeah." Seren nodded, but she was still focused on Reese's expression.
Reese looked at Nie Chuan with a calm gaze. That was not the indifference he showed when facing an opponent weaker than himself. On the contrary, Reese was serious.
"When I saw him at the pool party before, I didn't think he was as handsome as he is now!"
"Really?" Serin then shifted her gaze to Nie Chuan.
"Look at his legs, very sexy, right?" Lily raised her eyebrows ambiguously.
“Ah… yes…”
Serin saw Nie Chuan push off the ground and jump up. The release of power and the stretching of his calf muscles at that moment were a pleasing visual enjoyment. His fingertips touched Montenegro's basketball, but it still did not change Montenegro's dunk momentum. Despite this, Nie Chuan did not appear weak in front of Montenegro, but on the contrary, he was very threatening.
At the end of the game, Carlo, Ewing and Nie Chuan still lost to Reese and his team by three points.
"Ah... Reese is in really good shape today!" Carlo stretched his shoulders. "I thought it was just a practice match. Reese wouldn't take it seriously, right?"
"Do you think Reese is the same as a lazy guy like you!" Ewing kicked Carlo.
Despite this, Nie Chuan felt that this game was really exciting, and it seemed that everything he learned from Reese came in handy.
At this time, Reese put the towel around his neck on Nie Chuan's face, leaned down and whispered: "What kind of condoms do you like? Chocolate flavored?"
His cold voice uttered such provocative words that Nie Chuan's heart almost burst!
Nie Chuan looked at the other person, but Reese's expression was indifferent, as if what he just said was as simple as "I'll give you a piece of chocolate."
Nie Chuan really wanted to beat the other person up, and then yell "Go to hell".
If he told others that Reese used condoms to make fun of him, no one would believe it and would think that it was Nie Chuan who was smearing Reese.
But Nie Chuan was really upset! He felt like a kind-hearted bad student who was bullied by a bad-to-the-nature good student but couldn't complain to the head teacher.
"Yes, I like the chocolate flavor. If you have the guts, buy it!" Nie Chuan answered viciously in a low voice.
Maybe it was because Reese would run with him every morning, maybe it was because he would bring him bone marrow soup a few days a week, or maybe it was because he would drive him from home to school on weekends, Nie Chuan was not so afraid of Reese anymore.
Reese pressed Nie Chuan's head through the towel, then left arrogantly.
The cheerleaders finally got their chance, and most of them surrounded Reese, asking him if he wanted mineral water, this or that. The others were mostly with Carlo. Two of them asked Ewing if he wanted to go to the movies with them that night.
Only Nie Chuan, Heishan and Peter were left standing there.
"It's a bit annoying," Peter said.
"It's very unpleasant." Nie Chuan replied.
Heishan didn't say anything. Nie Chuan nudged him with his elbow, and Heishan then said "hmm".
At this time, Serin came to Reese and handed a box to Reese with a smile: "This is a gift to thank you for giving me flowers last time."
Nie Chuan's eyes widened.
"Wow, Allen, that girl... isn't she the one you like?" Ewing put his arm on Nie Chuan's shoulder with a sympathetic expression.
Don't accept it! Don't accept it! If you dare to accept her gift, I will break up with you!
Reese put his hands in his pockets and showed no intention of taking them out.
"Need not."
"This is his favorite thing. Don't you want to know what it is?" There was a hint of suggestion in Celine's eyes.
Nie Chuan's eyes almost popped out.
Damn it! Seren was making eyes at you! What did you say to her on your birthday?
"His favorite food is chocolate, his favorite female star is Jennifer Lawrence, his favorite dim sum is Chinese barbecued pork buns, and his favorite soup is pork bone soup. Is there anything else I need to know?"
Reese raised his eyebrows, and the girls around him looked over curiously, not knowing what Reese meant by this, nor what Serene was doing.
"So what about your favorite man?" Celine asked back.
Just as Reese frowned and leaned down to try to hear what she said clearly, Serin stood on tiptoe and kissed her.
Nie Chuan was about to rush over but was stopped by Ewing.
"Brother! Stay calm..."
Reese dodged sideways, and Seren's lips only touched his chin.
"What are you doing?" Reese lowered his voice, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"I told you, a birthday thank you."
After saying that, Serin turned and left.
Nie Chuan's face fell.
He knew that maybe a scene like this would happen one day, but he never thought it would happen so clearly in front of him.
Ewing patted Nie Chuan on the shoulder and said helplessly: "Well, Allen... this is actually nothing, really nothing... do you want to chew gum?"
"Need not."
Carlo sighed helplessly at Nie Chuan's expression, who was obviously very sad but pretending to be fine, and said to the girls beside him, "Who has chocolate?"
"I have it! Mint flavor!"
"Oh, thank you! I'll take you to the movies this weekend."
Carlo unwrapped the chocolate, came to Nie Chuan, looked at the sky and said, "Hey, Alan, why are pigs flying in the sky?"
"Ah? What?"
As soon as Nie Chuan raised his head, Carlo stuffed the chocolate into his mouth.
Nie Chuan suddenly felt that he was healed.
"Alas, life is like chocolate, bitter at first but sweet later!"
At this time, Reese came over, raised his chin and said, "Let's go."
Carlo hinted to Reese with his eyes, asking him to at least comfort Nie Chuan and explain why he was kissed by Serin just now.
But Reese just said to Nie Chuan: "Let's go."
Nie Chuan was angry, but he had no intention of getting angry at Reese. He was not Serin's boyfriend, so he had no intention of getting angry at Reese.
Reasons to stop Celine from kissing Reese.
What's even more tragic is that it was he who asked Reese to send flowers to Celine.
This is really a case of bringing trouble upon oneself!
Thinking of this, Nie Chuan became even more depressed.
That night, when Nie Chuan returned to the room, Zhou Bin was browsing his friend's Facebook. As soon as Nie Chuan entered the room, he "bang--"
Close the computer tightly.
"Haha, Achuan, you're back?"
"What are you doing? You turned off the computer so quickly?" Nie Chuan came to Zhou Bin suspiciously and turned on the computer.
"I didn't watch anything! You know, just those kinds of movies!"
"You're lying. If it was that kind of movie you would ask me to watch it with you."
Nie Chuan stubbornly turned on the computer. It turned out that Lily uploaded a photo of Serin kissing Reese on Facebook. Because Reese stepped back too quickly, the photo was completely blurred, but it was still possible to see the moment when Serin almost touched Reese.
"Oh...you are looking at this."
"That...haha, don't take it too seriously. You already knew that Serin liked Reese, didn't you? And all the beauties in DK are also
It's not just Celine, right?"
"Oh, yes."
Nie Chuan turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up. At this time, Nie Chuan's cell phone rang. Zhou Bin answered the call for him. It turned out that there was a express delivery from Nie Chuan.
Zhou Bin went downstairs to pick up the express for Nie Chuan.
When Nie Chuan came out, Zhou Bin said to him, "Hey, someone sent you a package! Maybe it's a masturbation cup!"
"If it's really a masturbation cup, I'll give it to you!"
"Hell, I don't need it! But I'm curious, who would send you a package? Could it be your mother?"
"I don't know either."
Nie Chuan took out a knife and cut the box open. Countless small boxes fell out and a strong smell of chocolate filled his nose.
"Wow, it looks like someone bought you some chocolate! Could it be that Yarn got some new flavor from somewhere?"
"Really? Open it and try it!"
Nie Chuan picked up one and found that the packaging of the chocolate was quite strange.
Zhou Bin only took a glance at it and threw it back to Nie Chuan speechlessly: "If you want to eat it, eat it yourself! Eat more! Be careful not to hurt your little brother!
younger brother."
"Ah? What?"
Two seconds later, Nie Chuan suddenly came to his senses!
"You bought this for yourself, right? And you're pretending to know nothing in front of me. Is that necessary?"
Damn it! Who on earth was the prankster who sent him so many chocolate-flavored condoms! How boring!
Then... Nie Chuan remembered what Reese had said to him before the game.
Impossible! Impossible! Reese should just be talking about such a boring thing!
Nie Chuan turned the express box over and looked at the list on it.
Damn! Someone actually wrote a courier slip in such serious handwriting to send chocolate-flavored condoms to himself!
Nie Chuan is almost smoking!
"I didn't buy this for myself, Reese sent this to me!"
Nie Chuan was eager to clear himself to Zhou Bin.
"Reese Reddington? If you said the yarn was sent to you, I would believe it! If you said it was Carlo Brandon, I could barely believe it!
Even if you say that I, Zhou Bin, sent it to you while sleepwalking, I can try my best to convince myself that it is true! But Reese Reddington? Nie Chuan... that's enough!"
Zhou Bin shook his head helplessly.
Nie Chuan was crying in his heart... See, this is the consequence of speaking out, no one believes it.
From now on, no matter how Reese bullies me, no one will believe me?
