"Then why didn't you send me off!"

Zhou Bin curled his lips, patted Mao Xian's shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll definitely give it to you someday, and I'll give you a whole box!"

“That’s more like it!”

After eating the hot pot, Zhou Bin and Nie Chuan watched Mao Xian, who lived farther away, get into the car, and then the two walked along the street.

Zhou Bin said, "Hey, you guys don't have that yet, do you?"

Of course Nie Chuan knew which "that" Zhou Bin was referring to.

"Not yet... If that really happened, I would have died a long time ago." Nie Chuan replied angrily.

"Ah?" Zhou Bin showed an expression of disbelief, "Then how do you two usually solve it?"

"...Use your hands." Nie Chuan lowered his head.

"With your hands!" Zhou Bin's voice rose eight octaves, attracting many people to look over. Nie Chuan bumped into him, and he lowered his voice, "Besides using your hands?"

Nie Chuan knew that he could not hide anything from Zhou Bin, so he had to admit: "And his mouth... He also used my legs for that..."

Zhou Bin was silent for more than ten seconds before asking, "Can Reese bear it?"

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva. To be honest, he had always wanted to discuss this issue with someone.

"It seems... he can't hold it anymore... What should I do, Abin? I can't beat him. I want to be on top, but he won't let me."

Zhou Bin squinted his eyes and glanced at Nie Chuan: "You still want to suppress Reese? He has been coveting you for a long time, idiot. Just think about it, the person you want to sleep with is sleeping next to you every day, but you have endured it for almost four months without taking action. You are already a winner in life, Achuan."

After hearing what Zhou Bin said, Nie Chuan really wanted to die.

"Reese's figure shows that he has strong needs in that area."

"How can you tell from her figure?" Nie Chuan suddenly became curious.

"The abdomen is firm, there is no fat around the waist, the lines are smooth and full of strength."

Nie Chuan looked down at himself and replied, "Then I have one too!"

"You? If you're a pastoral dog, Reese is a Tibetan mastiff. You'd better not compare yourself to him."

Nie Chuan's face was full of black lines.

"You have been preventing him from doing it, so he must be feeling very uncomfortable. He won't fall in love with someone else in the short term, but that doesn't mean he can resist not doing it with someone else."

"Reese won't." Nie Chuan answered with certainty.

"Why?"

“Because he never compromises.”

Zhou Bin smiled: "It's a good thing that you can trust him so much."

Although he said this, Nie Chuan began to feel uneasy inexplicably deep down in his heart.

He thought of the love letter signed by V and the text messages in Reese's phone. All night long, Nie Chuan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He stared at his phone, scrolling through the text messages Reese had sent him.

They basically maintained a status of talking on the phone every day, but when Nie Chuan flipped through the text messages, he only saw the "I'm here" message from Reese just after he arrived in New York.

Really, there is nothing to savor at all.

Nie Chuan called Reese, but unexpectedly no one answered!

Nie Chuan sat up from the bed, tilting his head and staring at the phone. According to his experience, Reese would usually answer his calls within three seconds. If he missed the call, Reese would usually call back within half an hour.

But…but half an hour has passed and the phone hasn’t even vibrated.

Did Reese forget to bring his cell phone when he went out?

Or were you playing basketball and your phone was in your bag so you didn’t hear it?

Or maybe your phone is out of battery?

Nie Chuan waited for an hour, but still no response.

Even if your phone is out of battery, it’s time to charge it now!

Nie Chuan kicked his cell phone, pulled up the quilt, and went to sleep!

Although he couldn't fall asleep at first, it didn't take long before Nie Chuan started to feel sleepy and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It was almost noon the next day when Nie Chuan was awakened by the urge to urinate.

He casually grabbed his phone to check the time. The screen showed twelve missed calls, all from Reese. Nie Chuan was so scared that he almost peed himself on the spot.

Nie Chuan quickly called back, and this time the call was connected in just one second instead of three seconds.

"Nie Chuan, why didn't you answer my call?" Reese's voice was a little low.

Nie Chuan had not been able to hear Reese's phone calls before, but this time there were twelve calls... a record.

"I...waited for you to call me back and then I fell asleep..."

"I thought something happened to you."

"I was on vacation and everything was fine, how could something go wrong? Haha!" Nie Chuan laughed dryly.

"You usually don't call me when you have nothing to do."

"That can't be the case!" Nie Chuan felt guilty as soon as he finished speaking, so he immediately changed the subject, "Then what were you doing last night?"

"There's a Christmas dinner here."

Upon hearing the word "dinner party", Nie Chuan immediately became nervous.

I remember Larry once said that James wanted to "sell" his son to those socialites through dinner parties.

"How was the dinner?"

"It's boring," Reese's standard response.

"Are there a lot of delicious food?" Nie Chuan wanted to hear Reese say a few more words.

“The desserts were great. Especially the meringue cake.”

Nie Chuan was a little greedy, but he didn't forget the point he wanted to ask: "How can you be bored? Didn't your father James introduce you to new friends?"

"I will not attend any event with my father. All he thinks about is maximizing his own interests. This is my brother-in-law's charity dinner."

"Oh..." Nie Chuan suddenly felt relieved, "Does the charity dinner require donations?"

"Yes. The organizers will auction some things to raise money for charity."

"Did you take any photos?" Nie Chuan asked curiously.

"No, it was my brother-in-law who sold the jersey I had worn."

Reese's answer almost made Nie Chuan spit out tears.

"Sell...sell your jersey?"

But Reese is not a famous star!

"Um."

“How much did it cost?”

"About five thousand dollars."

Nie Chuan almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"Five...more than five thousand dollars?"

"Do you think my jersey is not worth the price?" Reese's voice rose slightly.

But Nie Chuan knew that he was not angry, and even had a playful smile on his face.

"Of course not!" Nie Chuan immediately thought of the upper-class people at the dinner party who actually didn't care what was being auctioned, and there might actually be fans of Reese among them!

"Of course the jersey is not worth $5,000," Reese said.

"In the hearts of your fans, it is priceless."

"If it's really priceless, and I asked you to buy it for five thousand dollars, would you be willing?"

Nie Chuan laughed: "I don't need to buy it, I'm wearing your jersey underneath!"

Nie Chuan always threw his jerseys around, and most of the time he washed them together with Reese's jerseys. And Reese always "forced" Nie Chuan to choose the same jersey as his. Nie Chuan's size was just a little smaller than Reese's, so sometimes he would collect the wrong clothes, but Nie Chuan never returned them to Reese. Most of the time he would just wear them and wait for Reese to claim them after they were washed for the second time.

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Nie Chuan scratched his head, thinking that he didn't say anything wrong.

"Hey, Reese, are you still there?"

"I'm here. Xiaochuan, do you know what I was thinking about when the dinner was boring?"

Reese's voice was soft, and this was the tone that made Nie Chuan most distracted.

"what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about you. I close my eyes and kiss you in my mind. Hold you. Listen to your breathing. And try to make you cry."

"What do you mean by crying? I won't cry!" Nie Chuan was so angry that he wanted to hang up Reese's phone.

"Are you sure you won't cry? Then I'll try it when we get back to school."

Of course Nie Chuan knew what Reese meant by "give it a try", and his face immediately turned red again.

"Try it yourself!"

After talking to Reese on the phone, Nie Chuan felt much better.

He stretched himself, and after lunch, he played a game of basketball with Larven. This guy was really good at basketball, and Nie Chuan was fooled by him several times, but he also often won by surprise.

They played for a long time. When they got tired, they sat down to drink water, browse the web or play games on their mobile phones, and then continued playing after they had recovered their strength.

Larvin would often say with a sullen expression, "I feel like you're going to absorb my skills. It's like I'm cultivating an enemy!"

At this time, Nie Chuan would put his arm around his shoulder and say comfortingly: "According to the grouping of the finals, one of your team or our DK will always run into Azu, and there will always be someone who can make Seth Lind look like he ate a fly. You are not cultivating enemies, you are cultivating comrades."

"This doesn't comfort me." Larven waved Nie Chuan's hand away.

Nie Chuan smiled. I used to think that Larven was arrogant and annoying, especially his comments about Reese in front of the sports reporter. He was so arrogant that he angered everyone. Now it seems that he is actually quite cute. Of course, it is limited to practice.

If it were in the league, Nie Chuan knew that if Larven was 100% serious, his lethality would increase exponentially.

"Hey! Reese is such a lucky guy! He's actually with the daughter of the founder of a sports brand!" Larven suddenly said.

"Huh? What did you say?" Nie Chuan leaned over and saw a photo on Larven's phone of Reese, who was wearing a black dress and had an elegant and reserved temperament, clinking glasses with a girl of the same age with her hair tied up.

Reese's eyebrows drooped slightly, and although there was no expression on his face, people had the illusion that time was slipping through his eyes.

This was Reese that Nie Chuan had never seen before. His hair was tucked behind his ears, revealing his forehead and high nose bridge. Every ups and downs of his facial features were clearer.

"It seems that Reese will not be lonely on Christmas." Larven sighed and raised his hand to lean on Nie Chuan's shoulder, which seemed to imply "we are brothers in distress together".

"It's just a clink of glasses." Nie Chuan couldn't tell whether he was making excuses for Reese or comforting himself.

"What do you think?" Larven blinked. "Reese has such good resources, and the people who are close to him are willing. Is there any reason for him not to enjoy it?"

"Reese is not that kind of person." Nie Chuan looked at Larven and said seriously.

He and Reese had been roommates for so long and knew Reese very well. Not everyone could be accepted into Reese's world.

"Hahaha! Look at your expression, you really protect that guy Reese!" Larven rubbed Nie Chuan's head vigorously, "Why don't I have a teammate as cute as you!"

Nie Chuan lowered his head and stopped talking.

He seemed to miss Reese even more than he had yesterday.

and the “v” who wrote Reese love letters and had a permanent place in his phone contacts.

"I am going home."

"Go home?" Larven stood up. "Then will we play basketball together tomorrow?"

"No, you can have fun by yourself. I'm going somewhere else tomorrow."

"Ah? Where are you going?"

"It's none of your business." Nie Chuan faced Larven, put on his sports bag, stepped back and said, "If you can't find someone who is better than me to play basketball with you, just find a girl to watch a movie and eat steak!"

Larven showed a choked expression, which made Nie Chuan feel good.

As soon as he got home, Nie Chuan started packing his luggage, stuffing all his underwear, sweaters, and sneakers into the suitcase.

He opened the closet and saw Reese's woolen coat still hanging there. Nie Chuan put his face close to it and seemed to still be able to smell a little bit of Reese's scent.

Nie Chuan booked a flight ticket for that day, packed his suitcase and rushed to the airport.

It was already dusk when he arrived in New York.

Fortunately, he remembered which street Reese's apartment was on. After taking the subway and walking a long way, he finally arrived downstairs of Reese's small apartment.

Nie Chuan raised his head and looked at that floor. The windows were tightly closed and Reese seemed not to be there.

He became disappointed.

Maybe Reese is still with his sister and brother-in-law.

Nie Chuan carried the luggage upstairs. He knew where Reese would hide the key. It was under the floor tiles at the lower right corner of the door.

Nie Chuan opened the door, carried the suitcase in, opened the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and found that the slippers that Reese had prepared for him last time were still there, and were placed side by side with Reese's slippers. Nie Chuan immediately felt warm in his heart.

He came to the small bedroom and deliberately rolled over on the bed. Looking at the wrinkled sheets, Nie Chuan felt very satisfied.

Then he went to the window, opened it, looked at the pumpkin lantern covered with snow across the street, and took out his cell phone.

One second, two seconds...until the tenth second, Reese's phone was finally connected.

"Hello? This is Reese Reddington. Who is this?"

A soft female voice sounded.

Nie Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and across the street, a slender figure in a gray coat walked under the pumpkin lantern, carrying a fashionable woman on his back, the scarf on her neck just happened to be wrapped around Reese's neck, and in her hand was Reese's cell phone. Such an intimate gesture, as if they wanted the two of them to become one.

At that moment, Nie Chuan's lungs seemed to be filled with crushed ice, which was then squeezed tightly and could not melt.

His fingertips trembled and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hello? Why aren't you talking?"

Even from across the street, Nie Chuan could clearly see the teasing smile on the woman's lips. Nie Chuan had a hunch that she knew of his presence.

Nie Chuan originally wanted to say "I dialed the wrong number", but this seemed redundant.

At that moment, Reese raised his head and his eyes met Nie Chuan's on the windowsill.
