Chapter 5 Nie Chuan's English Name

Sure enough, Nie Chuan's collar was grabbed by the other party. At that moment, Nie Chuan felt that he would be strangled to death!

"Didn't you see me? This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant boy!"

Billy raised his fist, his arm was thicker than the bowl used by Nie Chuan's family! Nie Chuan closed his eyes and turned his face away. This time, he was really going to be covered in peach blossoms!

But a few seconds passed and the imagined pain did not come.


"Hey, if he said he didn't see it, then he didn't see it. Or are you just looking for trouble and want to beat him up?"

A casual voice with a hint of ridicule.

Nie Chuan stiffly turned his head towards the source of the voice. The other person was very tall. He raised his face, and the moment he met the other person's eyes, he realized that it was Carlo Brandon.

"What if I say I just want to beat him up?" Billy raised his chin.


That’s right, Carlo Brandon is very tall and has quite a lot of muscles, but Nie Chuan feels that Carlo is still not very resilient!

You know, when Billy plays rugby, he can knock down several people at once!

"Then I advise you to change another day." Carlo still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take Billy seriously.

"Then I'll deal with him another day. I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Billy pushed Nie Chuan away and saw that Nie Chuan's head was about to hit the corner of the table, but suddenly a hand held his forehead steadily, and even the trend of falling was completely stopped.


The other person's palm was very warm. Nie Chuan weighed more than 60 kilograms after all, but the other person's arm didn't even tremble.

When Nie Chuan raised his eyes, he met the cold eyes of Reece Reddington, and his heart suddenly sank.

He thought of the dream he had last night and even his breathing became choked.

"Hey, stand still." Reese's voice was as cold as ever.

Nie Chuan quickly straightened up.

At this time, Carlo had already avoided Billy's first punch.

Many classmates had gathered around, but none of them dared to get close because Billy had already thrown his second punch.


At that moment, his wrist was grabbed tightly, and Billy opened his eyes wide, because the person who grabbed him was not Carlo, but Carlo who was standing not far away with his arms crossed and smiling.

Billy was about to turn his head to get a better look at the other person, but his arm was twisted behind his back and pushed down without any warning.

With a "bang", Billy's face hit the table.

The two students at that table quickly took their plates and moved away, and one of them almost dropped his glasses.

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!" Billy shouted with his face red.

Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin were completely stunned.

Because the one who subdued Billy was none other than Reese Reddington, and he only used one hand, with a calm expression on his face.

"Kill me?" Reese raised the corner of his mouth, revealing his signature cold smile, "If you're lucky, you might be able to crush me to death if you jump from the roof of the law school. But unfortunately, I rarely pass by the law school."


The law school has the tallest teaching building in the entire DK.


Reese's sarcasm was so obvious that Billy was almost going crazy. He struggled desperately, and the whole dining table made a rumbling sound. Nie Chuan couldn't bear to watch it.

Billy gathered all his strength and tried to hold himself up, but Reese simply used his elbow to push him down again.

Then Billy started to yell and curse.

Reese turned his head, the smile on his lips had a presumptuous meaning: "Do you want to be banned?"

Billy was stunned.

Reese let go of his hand, and Billy stood up, staring at Reese fiercely. Nie Chuan believed that at this moment he must want to beat Reese into a pulp, but Reese seemed to be much better than Billy.

"Who are you?"

"Reese Reddington."

"You remember this!" Billy said this harshly, then pushed away all the onlookers and left the restaurant.

Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin let out a breath at the same time.

Carlo smiled and put his arm around Nie Chuan's shoulders. His weight almost crushed Nie Chuan. "Hey! You should thank us! If it weren't for me and Reese, you would have been beaten even shorter than you are now!"

Nie Chuan raised his head and glared at Carlo, the little gratitude he had just felt gone.

"Hey! Reese, I told you I must be important to you! As soon as you saw that big guy trying to beat me up, you couldn't wait to do it!"

"Am I going to watch you disgrace the basketball team?" Reese asked.

"Hey, don't be like this!" Carlo patted Reese's shoulder.

"Shameful? How shameful?" Zhou Bin asked subconsciously out of curiosity.

"Well... maybe Reese knew that I would hold my head and beg that big guy not to hit me in the face..." Carlo looked up at the sky.

Zhou Bin: “…”

Nie Chuan: “…”

"Well, thank you for helping me out today! Have you had dinner? I'll treat you!" Zhou Bin said.

"No need. Actually, Reese and I came to this restaurant just to find you! Hey, kid, what's your name?" Carlo looked at Nie Chuan with great interest.

Nie Chuan finally understood that no matter how much he glared at Carlo, it was useless because this guy would still call him "kid".

"Nie Chuan." Nie Chuan replied.

"Ah? What? Niqin?"

Carlo's Chinese pronunciation is beyond correction.

"Nie Chuan." Nie Chuan pronounced his Chinese name more slowly and clearly.

"Oh...anyway, don't you have an English name?"

Carlo felt that the price of pronouncing Nie Chuan's Chinese name clearly would be biting his tongue countless times, so he decided to give up.

"No."

"Impossible?" Carlo looked at Zhou Bin and expressed his doubt.

Zhou Bin nodded and said, "He said it should be easy to remember and pronounce. I originally gave him an English name called John, but he said it sounded like a pizza seller. So I changed it to Tom. But he said Tom sounded like a stupid cat..."

"Stupid cat?" Carlo looked confused.

"Tom and Jerry." Nie Chuan added.

"Oh...what happened next? Was it just John and Tom?"

"Then I'll say Jack... He said Jack sounded perverted..."

"Why is he perverted?" Carlo looked at Nie Chuan.

"Jack the Ripper." Nie Chuan curled his lips.

"Oh..." Carlo nodded, "What should we do? I'll think of one for you?"

Nie Chuan looked at Carlo, maybe this guy could really give him a reliable English name.

"How about KFC? Is it cool?"

Ten seconds later, Carlo threw out this sentence.

Nie Chuan no longer had any appetite.

"Alan." Reese, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Reese's voice was cold and deep, yet inexplicably pleasant to the ear. Nie Chuan's nerves seemed to be touched and trembled slightly.

"Hey, this is good!" Carlo clapped his hands and said to Nie Chuan.

"Is this one okay?" Although Nie Chuan felt that this name was much better than "John", "Tom", "Jack" and so on, he couldn't say that he particularly liked it.

"This is good! Of course it's good!" Zhou Bin nodded vigorously and said, "'Alan' means harmony and good-looking. Think about it, every time a girl calls you by your English name, she is praising you for being handsome and good-looking! Isn't this English name good?"

Nie Chuan's eyes lit up: "Okay! My English name is Allen!"

Carlo blinked and said, "Alan, shouldn't you thank us? Not only did we help you deal with that big guy, but we also gave you such a nice, easy-to-pronounce and meaningful English name..."

"Shall I treat you to a meal?" Nie Chuan said.

Carlo shook his head. "I'm full. If you really want to thank me, come with me to meet my teammates."

"Why?" Nie Chuan asked.

"To thank me! It's not something that will embarrass you, are you going to refuse?" Carlo said as if it was a matter of course.

"Yes, I intend to refuse..."

Before Nie Chuan could finish his words, Carlo suddenly lifted Nie Chuan onto his shoulders and said to Reese with a smile, "Hey! Reese! Let's go to the basketball court!"

Reese's eyes swept over the struggling Nie Chuan, while Carlo took out his cell phone with his other hand and was talking to someone.

They left the restaurant under everyone's gaze.

Zhou Bin had never seen such a scene before, so he quickly trotted after them.

"Hey! Carlo Brandon, put me down right now! I know my rights! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to get you banned!" Nie Chuan shouted loudly!

He knew that DK's basketball team would definitely participate in the NCAA basketball game. Just now, Billy was so worried that he would be suspended for a fight, but Nie Chuan didn't believe that Carlo was not afraid at all.

Carlo laughed and said, "Go ahead and sue me! Go ahead and sue me! I'll be waiting!"

Nie Chuan's face suddenly turned black. This was similar to "Scream, scream, scream until your throat is hoarse and see if anyone will come to save you."

Nie Chuan was carried by Carlo to the school's open-air basketball court. Nie Chuan had heard that DK's basketball team was well-known throughout the country. Although it had been eliminated in the top 16 for three consecutive years and was called the "fallen king", the school's investment in the basketball team was still unambiguous. The head coach had changed twice in three years, and the school also had a special basketball gym for the basketball team.

The open-air basketball court where they are now is where other students exercise on weekdays.

It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people on the court. When they saw Carlo and Reese coming, they subconsciously stopped and even gave up half of the court.

Carlo put Nie Chuan down. Nie Chuan staggered two steps and was about to turn around and run away with Zhou Bin when Carlo grabbed him by the back of the collar.

"Hey! Why are you running? Just for fun!"

The words "Just for fun" gave Nie Chuan the creeps. Being with these big guys was not fun at all!

"Hey, Carlo! Is this the guy you called and asked me to give up my nap to come see?"

A slightly impatient voice sounded from behind Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan saw a boy with short flaxen hair and freckles on his face sitting on a basketball outside the basketball court, staring at him with his eyebrows raised.
