Chapter 9: It’s all the pen cap’s fault
Nie Chuan lowered his head, and Carlo knew that his heart was moved.
"Hey, bro, it's not like you don't have the ability to make her notice you. The question is, do you want to use that ability?"
Carlo's voice was extremely provocative. When Nie Chuan raised his eyes, he met his beautiful eyes with long and narrow features.
"I will...consider it carefully." Nie Chuan replied.
"That's right! Think about it carefully! How long will it take you? Are three days enough? Coach Gordon will be back in less than a month. You need some systematic practice. I can be your sparring partner! We can also call Montenegro and Ewing!"
"No! No need to go through so much trouble!"
After so many days, Nie Chuan has learned that even if DK's basketball team is not a top-notch team, and its regular players are also very strong. Letting all of them go out is more like crushing him than being his sparring partners.
"Okay then, it's settled! Give me your reply in three days! Three days!" Carlo pointed at Nie Chuan and patted his chest, meaning "I'll wait for you".
After Carlo left, Nie Chuan shook his head.
Carlo was right. If he could be recruited by DK's basketball team, he might be able to attract Seren's attention. But when he thought of Reese Reddington being on the basketball team, Nie Chuan remembered his fierce and arrogant dunk in front of him, and he felt inexplicably hot from the soles of his feet to his fingertips.
This feeling is really strange.
The next afternoon, Nie Chuan sorted out the materials and went to class.
There were quite a few international students taking this course, so Nie Chuan didn't feel lonely. It was just that he went a little late that day, and when he arrived at the classroom, there were only two seats left. Fortunately, the person to his right was still Chinese, and he hadn't left the organization yet, thank goodness!
Just as he was excitedly telling the Chinese students next to him that he had completed the game, someone placed a laptop on the desk to his right.
The other person's legs seemed very long. When he sat down sideways, Nie Chuan even wondered if his legs would push against the table when folded.
Many female classmates in the front row turned around and showed admiring expressions.
Nie Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He turned his head and saw that the man was wearing a dark short windbreaker. His fingers were very slender as he opened the laptop. They went up along the man's arm to his broad shoulders, then to his slender neck, and then... that side face with a classical aristocratic elegance...
Nie Chuan almost choked to death on his own saliva!
Why? Why did he meet Reese Reddington again!
This time, Nie Chuan couldn't help but ask again: "Elective courses?"
After asking, he regretted it. Why did he talk to this guy? He wouldn't pay any attention to him anyway.
Sure enough, Reese's beautiful fingers tapped a few times on the keyboard, and a mathematical model came out. Anyway, Nie Chuan couldn't understand it very well, so he didn't dare to continue reading it. He turned around and continued chatting with the classmates around him in Chinese.
"Hey, Nie Chuan! Do you know Reese Reddington?"
"I'm not familiar with him." Nie Chuan quickly denied.
The students next to Nie Chuan clearly saw Reese's eyebrows raised, looking unhappy.
"That's a shame! Advanced mathematics is a compulsory course for us!"
"It's easy to pass this course!" Nie Chuan thought to himself how difficult math is in China! The math for the college entrance examination alone is enough to torture people.
"What's the point of passing! I need a good or even excellent grade. I plan to apply for graduate school!"
"Oh...oh...what does that guy have to do with it?" Nie Chuan was very careful not to pronounce Reese's name.
Ever since he found out that Reese knew Chinese, he became more cautious.
"Reese is a genius in mathematics!"
“…”
It turns out that Reese Reddington is actually a top student...
He is extremely handsome, has excellent basketball skills, and is also a top student. No wonder he usually acts so arrogant. Who can blame him for having such an arrogant attitude?
The class started and everyone took out their notebooks and began to take notes seriously.
The professor spoke too fast and Nie Chuan couldn't keep up at all.
Fortunately, the student next to him had a recorder with him. Nie Chuan thought about asking him to borrow it after class. Now he might as well just follow the professor's ideas.
When Nie Chuan closed his notebook, the pen cap rolled off the table. Before it rolled far away, Nie Chuan quickly stretched out his foot to stop it, but he didn't expect that his leg would directly rub against Reese's leg.
He was startled and quickly pulled his legs back as if he was burned. When he raised his eyes, he saw Reese looking at him with cold and slightly mocking eyes.
Damn, what are you looking at! It's your own legs that are so long! I touched you and you blame me!
Nie Chuan pretended nothing had happened, facing the podium, and seemed to be listening attentively. But with his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he always remembered that his pen cap was firmly resting next to Reese's casual shoes.
More than ten minutes passed, and Reese was listening to the class very attentively with his arms folded. Nie Chuan suddenly felt that the opportunity had come!
He bent down, got under the table, and crawled towards his pen cap.
His breath caught in his throat and dove under Reese's legs.
He sighed again, why is this bastard's legs so long!
Just as he stretched out his arm and his fingertips were about to reach the pen cap, Reese raised his left foot slightly and actually stepped directly on the pen cap!
Oh! My God! Don't step on my pen cap!
Nie Chuan's heart was about to break!
Those were the great writing pens that Nie Chuan brought from China. After being divided up by Zhou Bin and Mao Xian, only two or three were left, so Nie Chuan had to protect his pen cap!
He wondered in his mind whether he should lift Reese's feet.
At that moment, Reese lifted his foot slightly, and the pen cap went to the other side of his shoe.
good chance!
In order to reach the pen cap, Nie Chuan moved forward with difficulty, and his hand carefully went around Reese's left leg. At the moment he picked up the pen cap, Reese's leg suddenly moved with a sweeping effect. Nie Chuan's head was pushed towards the corner of the table, and his whole face was deformed.
Oh my god——
Nie Chuan fell to the ground, and the classmates next to him finally noticed that something was wrong with him.
"Nie Chuan! What's wrong with you?"
Reese's long legs were still pressing tightly, leaving no room for Nie Chuan to retreat.
"I... I'm picking up the pen cap!" Nie Chuan answered with difficulty.
"ah?"
Nie Chuan patted Reese's calf vigorously: "Hey... let me get up..."
Reese pretended not to hear and continued typing away on the keyboard.
Nie Chuan's face flushed red. He tried hard to pry Reese's legs apart, but the other party remained motionless.
The classmate next to him hurriedly said to Reese: "Reddington, my classmate is picking up a pen cap below and is being pinned down by your leg. Can you please ask him to move back?"
"Oh?" Reese stepped back slightly, moved his legs sideways, and Nie Chuan finally crawled out from under the table.
The moment he raised his head, he met Reese's eyes, which were lowered.
It was still his signature smile, a little cold, but not sarcastic but teasing.
It was as if Nie Chuan had become a child who was discovered by adults while playing in the mud on the ground.
A feeling of dissatisfaction arises spontaneously.
Nie Chuan couldn't beat him, so he could only sit back in his seat and pretend to listen to the professor carefully, but he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
After finally getting through the get out of class, Nie Chuan could finally leave Reese's range.
A group of Chinese students were discussing where to go for a small gathering at noon. Nie Chuan was excited to join them when he felt something grabbing his collar from behind.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Reese pulling the corners of his lips, hooking himself with one hand, and waving the back of his hand at other Chinese students with the other hand.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Um, do you have something to say to Reddington? We'll text you once we decide on a restaurant! See you in the restaurant!"
Those guys abandoned Nie Chuan without any loyalty.
When only Nie Chuan and Reese were left in the classroom, Reese still had no intention of letting him go. Instead, he gently pulled Nie Chuan and he fell back into his chair.
When he turned around again, he saw Reese sitting next to him with his chin supported, looking at him coldly.
"I know you don't love basketball, so I don't want Carlo to waste unnecessary time on you, and I don't want my teammates to have unnecessary expectations of you."
As far as I can remember, Reese rarely speaks.
So when he spoke such a long paragraph to him, Nie Chuan was a little surprised.
This is the rhythm of opening the skylight and speaking frankly!
"Okay... I'll tell Carlo that I don't want to see that Coach Gordon..." Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva, "So I won't waste Carlo's time and won't let your teammates have any... expectations."
I wonder if Reese Reddington is satisfied with this answer?
"Come with me to meet someone. If after meeting this person, you still decide not to meet Coach Gordon and have no interest in the DK basketball team, I will not let Carlo and the others disturb your life again."
"What? You need to meet someone else?"
Nie Chuan was dumbfounded. He thought Reese meant that he didn't want him to join the basketball team!
Reese stood up, walked to the door, turned around and raised his chin towards Nie Chuan: "What are you still doing standing there?"
Nie Chuan stood up and followed Reese reluctantly.
This guy was very tall, the sunlight fell on his shoulders and scattered, and there was a kingly aura in the way he walked, and wherever he went, people would always stop and look in his direction.
Nie Chuan thought about running away, but both of Reese's elective courses were compulsory courses for him, and he couldn't skip the classes!
Reese took Nie Chuan to the school parking lot.
It was a black Land Rover SUV. Reese stepped into the driver's seat easily. Nie Chuan was going to sit in the back, but Reese bent down and opened the passenger seat. A pair of eyes just glanced at Nie Chuan, and Nie Chuan felt as if a layer of flesh had been scraped off by the other party.
He got into the car with gritted teeth, and Reese said coldly, "Seat belt."
"Oh." Nie Chuan was so nervous that he couldn't even press the buckle in.
