Carlo shook his head. He got up, looked at Reece, and swallowed. “No… it’s nothing… it was my fault… Reese, I was just joking about that, I didn’t expect you to take that remark seriously!”
“Joke? What joke?” Nie Chuan came up behind them.
He thought that Carlo and Reece knew what is going on and he was the only one that didn’t know what happened.
This kind of feeling is really bad!
“That, I…”
Carlo was just about to say something when Reece stopped him. “Shut up.”
Carlo immediately didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Nie Chuan suddenly felt that Reece was just like a king. Why is it that whatever he says is final, even Carlo didn’t dare to resist?
Celine had been behind Reece since who knows when and even handed him a towel. “That… Reece, would you like to dry yourself?”
This saddened Nie Chuan.
It wasn’t just Reece whose whole body is dripping wet…
Lily saw that Celine had surpassed her contact with Reece and hurriedly came forward. “Hey Reece and Allen, why don’t you guys use the bathroom on the second floor! Afterwards, you can dry your clothes!”
The atmosphere finally relaxed.
Lily took Reece and Nie Chuan back to the villa and went up to the second floor. Then she stood at the door, waiting for who knows what.
Although Nie Chuan was embarrassed, the wet T-shirt sticking to his body was really uncomfortable, and Reece stood beside him motionlessly.
Lily went forward and enthusiastically explained the switches for hot and cold water then told them how to use the washing machine.
Seeing that Lily was about to leave, Nie Chuan began lifting the hem of his shirt with his back facing Lily. Before it even reached his chest, it was violently yanked back down by another hand.
“Ah?” Nie Chuan looked to the side. Reece’s face was very cold. He suddenly understood, “Oh, you wash first… you wash first…”
He backs out of the bathroom and just happened to collide with Lily who is standing by the door. The two smiled awkwardly.
“Then I’ll go down first!” When Lily saw Reece standing still in place without any intention of moving, she quickly withdrew.
Since this was originally a guest room, Nie Chuan wasn’t dry yet so he didn’t dare to sit down. Meanwhile, Reece swiftly closed the bathroom door.
It’s just that the door turned out to be frosted!

Nie Chuan finally turned around, unable to help his curiosity. In the end, just how good is this guy’s figure? What do his abdominal muscles look like? His mermaid lines should be particularly sexy ba?

Nie Chuan bowed his head and lifted his shirt to look. He also had muscles ah! It just doesn’t look as good as Reece’s…
There was the sound of the water. Fortunately, Reece had already reached the other side of the glass door, otherwise Nie Chuan really wouldn’t know where to look.
Lily’s family is really romantic ah! What are you doing with a frosted glass door? Do you even want to let people take a good shower?
It wasn’t long before the sound of the water ceased and Reece came out in a white bath towel.
Nie Chuan lowered his head and could only see the other’s calves and ankles.
Reece’s ankles also have a sharp kind of beauty. As for his calves, Nie Chuan has already silently felt jealous of them countless times.
“I… I’m going in to wash!”
Nie Chuan rushed into the bathroom, closed the frosted door, and quickly took off his wet clothes.
When he had nothing on, he suddenly reacted and turned around. He had also undressed in front of the frosted door!
But after thinking about it, it’s not like Reece would be envying his body through the frosted door… because he has nothing to compare with Reece ah!
He simply rinsed himself once, then sorrowfully found that he really could not get used to just walking out with only a towel around his waist like foreigners… Wait, for them, isn’t he considered the foreigner?
But he can’t just stay in the bathroom for a lifetime ah!
So Nie Chuan hardened his scalp and opened the door. He found Reece sitting on the sofa with his legs slightly open, his leisurely posture full of momentum.
His has no clothes on his upper body. Nie Chuan can clearly see the lines of his muscles, his self-esteem once again took a blow.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
“Hello Mr. Reddington, I’m here to pick up your clothes for washing.”
Reece raised his eyebrows at Nie Chuan. “What about your clothes?”
“I’ll get them right now!”
Nie Chuan quickly walked back into the bathroom. He didn’t even walk two steps when his bath towel fell down. He reached out and held the front in horror, only to expose the latter half.
Mom ah! Can this be any more shameful?
He hurriedly pulled the bath towel back up. At that time, Reece, who had been sitting on the sofa, got up. The closer he walked, the more nervous Nie Chuan became. He could only look up at Reece while gripping the bath towel.
Reece didn’t speak, he only took one end of the towel from Nie Chuan’s hand, pulled it open slightly, then wrapped it around Nie Chuan’s waist before tightening it.
While Nie Chuan was still dumbfounded, Reece had already turned away, hauled Nie Chuan’s clothes out, and handed it to the person outside the door along with his own clothes.
“Thank……”
Before he finished his thanks, Nie Chuan suddenly realized that when Reece helped him with the towel, he seemed to have opened it… So did he see his little brother? [T/N: his peepee]
The more Nie Chuan thought about it, the redder his ears became.
Did he see it? Did he not see it?
So what if he did see it?
His obviously isn’t as big as the other’s, there’s nothing to see ah!
In his heart, Nie Chuan’s tears flowed into the sea.
[T/N: here I think it’s suppose to mean he cried so much that his tears became an ocean]
Reese returned to the sofa, took the magazine off the table, and quietly flipped through it.
“How did it feel to confront Peter?” Reece, who had been quiet, suddenly asked.
Nie Chuan never thought that the other person would talk to him and blurted out without thinking, “It was very tense!”
“What kind of tension?”
Brother, how do expect me to answer this question?
Turning the magazine in his hand to the next page, Reece said calmly, “Some kinds of tension, you never want to go through a second time. Like drowning in a flood, or an oncoming truck. And then there are some kinds of tension that will make you addicted.”
Nie Chuan paused. In his mind emerged the last ball he intercepted from Peter.
That feeling of his heart hanging on a thread, as long as he thought back, his blood will instantly accelerate.
“You don’t need to answer my question right now. But after competing with Peter, did you find out what the biggest disparity is between you and him?”
Without Reece’s reminder, Nie Chuan has long known where his fatal weaknesses lie.
“I lack explosiveness. And my shooting has almost no hit rate.”
“So are you going to overcome them? Or is that it?”
“… Do I even still have time? These can’t be accomplished overnight. Won’t your Coach Gordon see it at a glance?”
“You care if it’s seen by him?” Reece asked.
Nie Chuan choked. Even if he didn’t care about it before, but after practicing so painstakingly these past few days, if that Coach Gordon, whom he had never even met, rejects him in one sentence, how can he not feel uncomfortable?
“Endurance and explosive training will begin starting tomorrow.”
Reece coldly threw out such a sentence, stunning Nie Chuan.
“Training… who will be training me?”
“Who do you want to get training from, the cheerleaders?” Reece put down the magazine in his hands and looked into Nie Chuan’s eyes with a deep chill.
Nie Chuan begged from the bottom of his heart: Don’t raise your eyebrows! Don’t raise your eyebrows!
Reece’s brow was very tranquil, but his presence itself gave off a feeling of oppression.
He doesn’t want to be trained by Reece ah! Why does this guy never ask for his thoughts?
When Nie Chuan was sent home by Reece, it was already twelve o’clock at night.
As he was getting out of the car, Reece watched as Nie Chuan quickly released the seat belt and jumped out as if to escape. Just before he closed the door, Reece reminded him, “I will pick you up tomorrow morning at nine. Give you eight hours of adequate sleep.”
Nie Chuan instantly had a feeling of being suffocated. He had wanted to play online games all night tonight!
Reece said that tomorrow he will be torturing… ah, no, training him. So he will definitely arrive on time.
When Nie Chuan returned to his room, he lifted the blanket then went straight to sleep.
The more he wants to sleep, the more he couldn’t fall asleep. In his mind he began counting sheep. From sheep to puppies, from puppies to… Reece…
One Reece playing basketball, two Reece playing basketball, three Reece play basketball… one hundred Reece playing basketball…
Nie Chuan, who was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly woke up. Mom ah! If there really were a hundred Reece’s in this world, how would he (NC) even live!
Taking a deep breath, Nie Chuan got up, opened the bedside cabinet, and took out a piece of chocolate.
As long as he is nervous or he encounters unhappy situations, he will want to eat chocolate. This habit has not changed since he was little.
With chocolate in his mouth, Nie Chuan’s mind finally calmed down and he slowly slipped into dreams.
The sound of rhythmic but fast dribbling transmitted into his ears. The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on the basketball court again. The lights were very bright. Surrounded by the screams of the audience, Nie Chuan blankly looked around. Opposite him, Reece arrived with the ball, as imposing as a mountain and surging like the sea, as if to crush him in an instant.

Re: how does a person have so many dreams… I barely get any at all 0.0 also, is it just me or does Nie Chuan already seem bent as hell x’D
MadMadamMims: no showering together??? Make it happen 😀
Thanks for the chapter 😊 He was bent at first glance. Gahahaha!
thank you for the chapter! 💕
I wanted reece to have a little more reaction seeing nc’s little brother tho~ 😏
Anyways thank you for the chapter 💖
Thanks for the chapter and great translation!
I was hesitant to read this novel, cause I noticed the update schedule was sporadic but it’s too good to not keep up with it and I have faith in you, team!
Thanks for the chapter, and great tl.
He’s not yet at the point where he can admit out loud that Reece is hot, but he’s definitely getting there. “You’re way hotter than me” is absolutely how he’d describe the comparison before getting defensive about himself and that…. aside from personal insecurities, that’s a pretty good start. Remember Nie Chuan, confidence is sexy as hell!
Nie Chuan has long been bent ever since he met Reese, he just doesn’t realize it yet. He was even ogling Reese’s figure secretly and heart going thump thump, if that isn’t gay 😂
Well we’re all blind to our own shortcomings so NC not realizing immediately that he’s bent is to be expected xD but still, the doki doki should have said something haha
I dreamed of sitting on an ostrich’s back to fly, and kinda found out that the ostrich I flied on actually had another human fly on his back… and I was heartbroken so I ate it…. like.. tf? And another time I was watching a tea pot for some reason and suddenly grabbed the tea bag and swallowed but choked in the end and woke up -_-
