"Let's go back and watch a movie!"

Nie Chuan pretended nothing happened and walked forward, but his heart was beating violently.

Fortunately, Reese didn't continue that topic, and the car next to them also stopped.

Reese stared at the screen in the distance quietly, with no expression on his face. There were several horrifying scenes, and Nie Chuan closed his eyes and dared not look at them, but Reese did not react at all.

Nie Chuan even doubted what Reese's nerves were made of.

Finally, the movie was over and Nie Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

All the cars left the drive-in theater in an orderly manner.

Along the way, the lights of the street lamps passed over Reese's profile one by one, and Nie Chuan subconsciously looked in his direction.

"If I didn't stop you, would you have gone with them?" Reese asked slowly.

"How is that possible?"

Why did the topic turn back to this? Nie Chuan burst into tears deep in his heart!

"Aren't they beautiful women? Didn't you say you didn't expect that you would be approached by a beautiful woman?"

"I was just talking! How could I really go? And you're still waiting for me!"

"What if I wasn't there, and Zhou Bin or Mao Xian came with you? Would you get in that jeep?"

"No! Of course not!"

"Why didn't you push her away?"

"I...I don't dare touch her!" Nie Chuan shouted in desperation.

Reese let out a chuckle, not a mocking one, but a real laugh.

"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have gotten some messy disease."

"Of course I won't go."

"If you go, I will break up with you."

"I know. There's no way I'm going!"

The subject was finally over and they returned to Reese's apartment.

Reese parked the car and went upstairs with Nie Chuan.

They were only halfway up the stairs when the light suddenly dimmed.

"Ah! What's wrong?" Nie Chuan bumped into Reese's back.

"The circuit in the old apartment is unstable. The power will be back soon," Reese replied.

"oh."

"Can you see clearly? If you can't see clearly, I'll pull you." Reese stretched out his hand behind him.

Nie Chuan grabbed it without hesitation.

“There are twelve steps to each floor.”

Reese's fingers were just touching Nie Chuan's palm, and Nie Chuan could clearly feel the temperature of his fingers.

This made him feel at ease.

They returned to the apartment and it was late, time for bed.

Nie Chuan crawled into the position against the wall. Reese sat on the side of the bed and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting up at night and want to sleep outside?"

"No! I probably won't get up tonight, I'll just sleep inside!"

He would never tell Reese that he was afraid. He had just finished watching a horror movie, and Nie Chuan's mind was full of the ghost in white pajamas with hair dragging on the ground.

If he sleeps inside, with one side against the wall and the other against Reese, he won't have to be afraid!

"Didn't you drink two cans of Coke today? You should sleep outside."

"I won't get up at night." Nie Chuan quickly lay down, facing the wall.

Reese pulled back the quilt and lay down. His feet just happened to rub against Nie Chuan's feet. Nie Chuan's back stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to retain the touch of that moment, but it disappeared too quickly.

"Nie Chuan, when I was a kid, I watched a movie about a husband who murdered his wife and walled her into his newly renovated house. Every night when he went to sleep, he would lean against that wall."

Nie Chuan's shoulders trembled. I finally thought of a way to increase my sense of security. Can you please not destroy it?

"Then one day the man died. When his body was found, there were signs of strangulation on his neck."

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva and began to imagine the scene in his mind.

"I don't remember exactly how the movie ended. Maybe someone killed him to avenge his wife, or something else...but I always believed that his wife's ghost came out of the wall and strangled her husband to death."

Nie Chuan was about to cry. Wasn't this going to prevent him from getting a good sleep?

"I'd better sleep outside...I think drinking so much Coke makes me wake up easily."

Nie Chuan climbed over Reese's body. He could feel Reese bending her knees and sliding across her waist.

Nie Chuan turned around and faced Reese, but the empty back made him imagine that there was something standing by the bed watching him. He closed his eyes tightly, playing clips of various horror movies in his mind, and it was impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Hey, why are you frowning when you sleep?" Reese pressed his finger between his eyebrows.

"There are no lights! Can you still see me frowning?"

"If you open your eyes and take a look, you will know whether you can see my brows clearly."

Reese's voice was soothing and tempting, and Nie Chuan slowly opened his eyes. The other person's face was close at hand, and although the light was dim, Nie Chuan could clearly depict the outline of the other person's eyes and the line of his nose. Everything seemed to extend from Reese's eyes, and even the whole world was a part of Reese.

"Can you see my frown?"

"Um."

His brow bones had neat and elegant lines, which made Nie Chuan want to kiss him.

"Were you imagining the plot of a horror movie just now?" Reese moved towards Nie Chuan. The feeling of being close to a whisper made Nie Chuan's heart beat uncontrollably.

His breath brushed against every pore of his cheek, warm and moist.

"Yeah! So don't scare me anymore!"

"Instead of fantasizing about things that don't exist, you might as well look at me carefully." Reese raised his finger and gently tapped Nie Chuan's forehead.

"If I look at you, my fantasies will become even more unrealistic..." After Nie Chuan finished speaking, he wanted to bite off his tongue.

Reese smiled. Even though Nie Chuan couldn't see clearly, he looked unique and mysterious in the shadows, making it hard to guess what he was really thinking.

"So what are you thinking?" Reese's fingers gently scratched Nie Chuan's earlobe. His movements were very gentle, and Nie Chuan subconsciously closed his eyes.

"Why should I tell you? I'll let you guess it yourself!"

Don't you always ask me to guess what you like or what you're thinking? Now it's your turn to guess!

If you have the ability, you can guess it!

I want to kiss you.

I want to hold you...

I also want to... do something excessive like this or that!

Did you guess it right?

"I know what you're thinking."

"Then tell me." Nie Chuan closed his eyes and didn't look at Reese.

If you don't look at the other person laughing at you, you won't be bothered by it!

"I will not tell you."

"Forget it. I'm going to sleep!"

Nie Chuan didn't want to continue this topic because if he continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, and he was afraid that someone as smart as Reese would see more.

I will try my best to meet all your expectations, and then... that's all.

Nie Chuan's heart, which was originally overflowing, suddenly became empty for unknown reasons.

At this time, Reese's hand suddenly reached out and gently embraced Nie Chuan.

"I'm holding you, don't be afraid. Go to sleep." Reese said softly.

Nie Chuan's world became soft and tortuous in Reese's arms.

"Hmm..." Nie Chuan's nerves slowly relaxed and his breathing gradually lengthened.

Reese did not close his eyes. He quietly looked at Nie Chuan's drooping eyelashes, his lips slightly opened because of relaxation.

Ten minutes later, Nie Chuan fell into a deep sleep.

Reese leaned forward, his lips touching Nie Chuan's lower lip, and his tongue tip gently rubbed across Nie Chuan's lips.

"Hmm..." Nie Chuan murmured softly.

Reese lay back on the pillow, and gently stroked Nie Chuan's ear with his fingers. Nie Chuan pursed his lips and licked his lower lip that Reese had kissed.

He turned around unconsciously, but did not forget to grab Reese's wrist, as if Reese's arm was also part of the quilt.

Reese smiled and tightened his arms slightly, with Nie Chuan's back pressed into his arms.

When Nie Chuan woke up, it was already daylight.

He moved and found that he was holding Reese's arm very domineeringly. His heart trembled. Was it really Reese who held him all night?

Nie Chuan pretended that he knew nothing and continued to hold Reese's arm. Although he was extremely childish, he just didn't want to let go.

Feeling Reese's steady breathing behind him, Nie Chuan felt that this morning was so beautiful!

But this beauty didn't last long, Nie Chuan wanted to go to the bathroom. The biological clock is really something that cannot be conquered!

Nie Chuan held it in until he could no longer hold it in. He finally reluctantly let go of Reese's hand, rushed off the bed, and ran to the bathroom.

Reese sat up slowly and chuckled.

When Nie Chuan walked back, he found Reese sitting at the head of the bed, looking at him with his chin propped up.

Every time Nie Chuan woke up, Reese was already dressed. This was the first time Nie Chuan saw Reese just waking up.

His hair was a little messy, but he looked relaxed and at ease. Not to mention his raised lips and his collar tilted to one side, which was so sexy that it was about to explode.

"Hehe... This is the first time I got angry before you."

"Are you sure?" Reese tilted his head, with a faint smile in his eyes. Nie Chuan's mind was really in a mess.

"Did you get up to go to the bathroom before?"

Reese shook his head, took the watch on the bedside table and took a look: "I baked the blueberry pie an hour ago. It should be done now."

"What? You were up an hour ago?"

"It should be about an hour and a half ago." Reese lifted the quilt and stepped out of bed.

Nie Chuan almost asked, "Since you have even baked the blueberry pie, why did you come back to sleep?", but he opened his mouth and thought that Reese might just come back to take a nap.

Reese had already walked into the kitchen, put on gloves and pulled the blueberry pie out of the oven.

Nie Chuan could smell the rich fragrance in the room.

Reese doesn't like sweet food, so the blueberry pie can almost be said to be made specifically for Nie Chuan.

"I want to eat it so much! When can I eat it?" Nie Chuan couldn't help it anymore.

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face." Reese held Nie Chuan's head and pushed it gently.

Nie Chuan hurried to brush his teeth. Reese's voice came from behind him: "Brush for three minutes."

"I know, I know!"

It seems like brushing teeth has become everything in life.

But the blueberry pie tasted so good that Nie Chuan ate more than half of it by himself.

The sweetness and sourness were perfectly combined. If Reese hadn't said that Nie Chuan would be so full that he would just take the plate away, he was sure that he could finish the whole plate.

For a whole week, Nie Chuan stayed with Reese. They played together during the day and rested when they were tired. Sometimes Nie Chuan got lazy and would just lie down on the court and fall asleep. Reese not only let Nie Chuan do what he wanted, but even lay down next to him.

"Hey... the ground is very dirty." Nie Chuan answered while looking at the sky.

"You're still sleeping when it's dirty?"

"Because I can tolerate dirt better than you do."

With that said, apart from his ball skills and IQ, Nie Chuan discovered that he was finally better than Reese.

"Idiot. There's nothing to compare to this." Reese rested his head on his head and closed his eyes quietly.

Ten minutes later, Reese pulled Nie Chuan up, and the two began to fight again.

There was no referee, no obsession with the score, the basketball passed back and forth between them until Nie Chuan jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with a "bang".

The basket began to shake, and the basketball stand seemed to be about to fall over.

When he landed, Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide. He turned around and looked at Reese: "Hey - did you see that? I just dunked! Dunk!"

Reese slowly picked up the basketball that bounced out of the court and chuckled, "You said that as if you can't touch the basket with your jumping ability."

"Is my jumping ability good?" Nie Chuan asked excitedly.

"It's very good. You used to jump very high, but it looked so light. Now I can clearly feel the explosive power of your muscles."

"Haha, I can dunk! I can dunk!"

Nie Chuan was still immersed in the joy of that moment. He tugged at Reese and said, "Jump up and touch the basket! Let me see where you are!"

Reese came to the basket, jumped hard, and his fingers hit the ball above the basket.

Nie Chuan also jumped up with all his strength. He was surprised to find that what his fingers could touch was almost the same as Reese's.

"Wow, am I that awesome?"

"Is it amazing to be able to touch the place I touched?" Reese asked back with a smile.

"yes."

The next second, Reese came to the position beside Nie Chuan and jumped again, with full explosive power, and the momentum was like a huge wave surging from the deep sea to the sky. The place where his finger hit was at least five centimeters more than before.

Reese looked at Nie Chuan, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Why don't you try and see if you can still touch it?"

"Okay." Nie Chuan raised his head and looked at that place very seriously.

He wanted to touch.

He wanted to reach the same heights as Reese.

Nie Chuan exerted force instantly, following the method Reese had taught him. He stretched out his arm and hit the basket, which seemed to be only one or two centimeters less than Reese's.

"Not bad." Reese clapped his hands.

What's good about it?

Nie Chuan was not satisfied and jumped up again, but the height was still about the same.

He tried many times, but Reese's physical fitness was the result of so many years of accumulation, and it was not comparable to Nie Chuan's six-month assault.

"Well, a man's basketball skills are not just about how high he can jump under the basket."

"I'll try again!"

Nie Chuan jumped again, and at that moment something hugged his thighs and propped him up. Not to mention reaching the height that Reese had just reached, the height he could reach was already far beyond that.

Nie Chuan lowered his head and saw Reese looking up at him.

"Reese?"

"You see, if we're alone, there's a limit to how high we can go. But if we're two people together, we can do things that no one else can do."

Nie Chuan once thought that he was meeting Reese's expectations.

And at this moment, he finally understood that it was Reese who gave him a place to go and then lifted him up.

“We will definitely win the league championship this year.”

When Reese put Nie Chuan down, Nie Chuan said.

"How can you be so sure? There are many strong teams in the league."

"That's what I think." Nie Chuan replied.

He had a premonition, a premonition that was extremely strong.

"What if you don't get it?" Reese asked.

Reese has always been confident, and there is no "if" in his world. He asked this question purely to tease Nie Chuan again.

"If I don't get it...I will never eat chocolate again!"

In this world, only Reese's and chocolate are worth living up to.

"This is a bit serious. It seems that you are really determined."

Reese smiled, threw the ball back to Nie Chuan, and hooked his finger, meaning to fight another round!

They played basketball until dark. After Nie Chuan went out for a big meal with Reese, the two walked on the road.

"Hey, I recently discovered a new game, it's pretty fun, let's play it together tonight?" Reese hooked his finger on the back of Nie Chuan's collar.

"Eh? Really?" Nie Chuan, who was standing in front of the ice cream shop with his face almost touching the window, came back to his senses.

He didn't expect that Reese would take the initiative to ask him to play games.

"Yeah!"

Teaming up with Reese will definitely make us invincible!

"What about ice cream? What flavor do you like?"

"The one with blackberry and chocolate! What do you want? I'll treat you!"

Although he knew that Reese didn't like sweets, since Reese had taken care of him these days, Nie Chuan also wanted to treat Reese to something.

"You buy one and I'll just take a bite."

After Reese finished speaking, Nie Chuan felt a little disappointed.

But he still went in and bought a cone, then held it out to Reese: "Here's your first bite."

Reese shook his head. He was watching the news on his phone. “You eat first.”

It seemed that Reese was not going to eat it. Nie Chuan went to lick the ice cream in disappointment. Unexpectedly, Reese suddenly lowered his head and bit the other side of the ice cream.

The ice cream was completely rubbed onto Nie Chuan's nose and face. At that moment, he even seemed to feel Reese's tongue rubbing against his lips.

Nie Chuan stared at Reese with his eyes wide open, but a curve appeared on Reese's lips.

"Next time you confess your feelings to the wrong person, you'll end up looking stupid like this. I don't think the other person will have the heart to reject you."

After saying that, Reese walked forward with his pockets in his hands.

Nie Chuan instantly understood what Reese meant when he told him to eat first. He had planned this long ago!

Why do you tease me in such an ambiguous way?

I will have more unrealistic fantasies! I will imagine you like this and like that in my head!

Nie Chuan stood there, the ice cream in his hand was about to melt.

As if he didn't hear Nie Chuan's footsteps, Reese turned around and tilted his face: "What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

Nie Chuan suddenly became afraid. There would always be a time when Reese played a joke on him like this and he couldn't help it.

In that case, what would their relationship become?

Will Reese still get along with him so closely?

"Can you please stop teasing me like this? Be careful that others might think you are gay!" Nie Chuan stretched out his finger in front of Reese and bent it.

"Oh? That's interesting too." Reese didn't care.

Nie Chuan was speechless.

"Ah, the ice cream melted on your hands. You're such a waste."

"Who did this?"

In the end, the ice cream had to be thrown away, and Nie Chuan's flesh was in great pain.

The two entered the Internet cafe, where there were many Internet addicts. This was Nie Chuan's first time entering an Internet cafe. The management terminal, self-service card vending machine, etc. all looked very standard. There was also a special printing and scanning area.

The game Reese chose was very difficult, and Nie Chuan had always wanted to play it. The two of them practiced from the most basic level to the intermediate level in one night.

Every ten minutes or so, Nie Chuan could be seen hitting Reese with his knee.

"Help me! Help me!"

"You should die first." Reese would say this every time.

But every time when Nie Chuan really had only the last moment left, Reese would always be able to pull him back.

Just when Nie Chuan was deeply involved and unable to extricate himself, Reese decisively went offline.

"Eh? What's wrong?" Nie Chuan tilted his head and asked.

"It's past nine o'clock. Go home, drink milk, and go to sleep." Reese tapped his fingers lightly on Nie Chuan's desk.

Oh, could you please not be so self-controlled!

Nie Chuan had no choice but to log off and follow Reese.

Nie Chuan was walking while chatting with Zhou Bin on WeChat.

Zhou Bin: Are you still happy with Reese?

Nie Chuan: That’s great! I enjoy playing basketball every day!

Zhou Bin: So you are dissatisfied with my and Maoxian’s playing level?

Nie Chuan: Yes, I despise it.

At this time, Nie Chuan and Reese came to the intersection, and Reese pressed the green light for pedestrians to pass.

Just as Nie Chuan was about to take a step forward, Reese hooked the back of his collar, pulled him back, and confiscated his mobile phone.

"Next time you play with your phone while crossing the street, I will beat you up so badly that Zhou Bin won't be able to recognize you."

Reese's eyes were cold, and Nie Chuan nodded quickly.

After returning to Reese's apartment, Nie Chuan received a call from his mother. In a blink of an eye, he had been with Reese for almost two weeks. Nie's mother felt that her son did not stay at home for long during the holidays.

Nie Chuan had no choice but to agree to buy a ticket back home in the next two days.

"Ah... I've been here for such a long time, but I haven't visited your father yet!" Only then did Nie Chuan realize that he and Reese were having so much fun that he had forgotten the most important thing.

He said as he sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Reese who was folding the laundry.

"He's fine." Reese handed a newspaper to Nie Chuan.
