At this time, Nie Chuan was doing heel lifts while watching The Big Bang Theory on the computer.
“This kind of show really isn’t good for your brain,” Reece glanced over.
“I’m not as smart as you.”
Reece came up to Nie Chuan and suddenly raised his hand to rub Nie Chuan’s head.
“I’m not a kid! Don’t rub my head!” Nie Chuan waved Reece’s hand away.
“I heard you won against Downey easily?”
“Oh, is Downey better than Owen Wishaw? Would I be a dark horse if I won against him?”
“Downey is considered strong among high schoolers but I’m the one who accompanies you during practice.”
“Narcissist,” Nie Chuan snorted.
Reece suddenly sat at Nie Chuan’s computer desk, completely blocking the screen.
“I wouldn’t let other people stay in our dorm,” Reece said in a serious tone.
“Ah? What?” Nie Chuan couldn’t react for a moment.
“I’m taking him to a hotel in town. If you’re still playing games later, I’ll beat you up if I find out you’re recklessly marrying others in-game and cheating them out of equipment.” Reece’s voice was cool.
“Ha? How could this be called cheating!”
“Also, remember to wipe your mouth after you finish eating.”
Reece got up and left.
Nie Chuan felt the corners of his mouth and found that there were still grains of rice on his face.
Damn, Downey is too much! He definitely noticed the rice grains on Nie Chuans’s face on the way back but didn’t say a single word!
However, when Reece said that he wouldn’t let other people stay in “our dormitory,” Nie Chuan had to admit that he felt very happy.
Nie Chuan suddenly found that he and Reece both didn’t like being disturbed by others. For example, when they’re practicing together, Nie Chuan didn’t like having an audience because it was a time for them to focus only on one another. Or when they meet in Principles of Communication, Nie Chuan didn’t want anyone sitting between him and Reece. And in their dorm, Nie Chuan knew that he was very messy and didn’t like tidying up but Reece never scolded him. So much so that every time he stuffed his socks in his shoes, Reece would only tell him to wash once, he wouldn’t say it a second time nor would he force Nie Chuan to go wash his socks. Of course, brushing his teeth before bed and exercising in the morning are absolutely non-negotiable. However, it was only the two of them in the dorm. Nie Chuan didn’t wish for another person to come in, even if it’s only one night.
“Isn’t this too overbearing?” Nie Chuan tilted his head in thought.
But soon, he threw all of this to the back of his mind.
Nie Chuan hadn’t eaten his fill of chicken curry with mushroom. He remembered that there were still a few chocolate bars in his drawer but when he opened it, he found they were actually gone.
Don’t tell him that he can’t even remember eating the last few?
There were no other snacks in the dorm. Nie Chuan looked around before finally finding a box of instant noodles that Zhou Bin had left behind under the bed! It was even beef flavored!
Classic! How long has it been since he’s had instant noodles!
Nie Chuan stared at it, his saliva overflowing.
He boiled some water and kept watching the time on the computer screen. As soon as three minutes passed, he impatiently uncovered it. Then, his tongue got scalded.
“Aiya! F*ck!”
Nie Chuan got out a can of Coke to accompany the beef flavored instant noodles, now this is a midnight snack!
But when he finished eating, he touched his stomach and felt regret.
The smell of instant noodles was so strong that it was all over the dorm! It must be all over Reece’s bed too!
Nie Chuan hurriedly cleaned up the remainder, opened the window for ventilation, and took the air freshener from the bathroom to spray.

Nie Chuan suddenly felt that all this was his fault, he had been too fussy ah!
At this time, Reece and Downey were sitting in the car. Downey seemed very excited.
“Your roommate is really strong! If I accept Coach Gordon’s invite then that’d be quite interesting!”
“The main players are more or less set by now. Do you want to warm the bench?” Reece asked.“
“I didn’t see that kid last year though, he just joined the team this year, right? So he entered college one year later than you! If that’s the case then when you graduate, I can play with him!”
“You’d better go back to CBU.”
“Why?”
“So that Owen Wishaw can take my place in teaching you a lesson.”
“……”
A few seconds later, Downey suddenly spoke, “That’s not right! Reece! When we were little, we used to spend summer break together and you never wanted to sleep with me! You’d rather sleep in the attic by yourself! I always thought you were the one who was too indifferent, but you would actually leave your previous apartment and share a double bedroom with that kid?”
“It’s not that I’m indifferent to you, but you’re not likeable to me.”
“……”
Bored, Downey looked side to side. Then, he suddenly found something, pointed to Reece’s car keys and asked, “Isn’t that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? How can you have something like that?”
“This is Donatello,” Reece replied.
“Huh? What?” Downey’s expression was a bit funny.
“Donatello.”
“I only remember Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…… Why don’t I remember a Donatello?” Downey thought seriously.
“You’re not cute.”
“……”
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Downey was at a bit of a loss as he got out of the car.
“Downey,” Reece called.
“Yeah? Didn’t you say I’m not likeable to you? Don’t tell me you feel guilty and decided to accompany me for the night to chat?”
“You said you wanted to ask me about the SAT, don’t you want to hear what I have to say?”
“Of course,” Downey nodded.
“Choosing a university is equivalent to choosing a new life. Don’t make a decision based on one aspect. Basketball is just a part of college.”
“So that’s why you suggested that I go to CBU? Because the architectural department there is better?”
Reece nodded.
“Thanks,” Downey laughed. “Tell your roommate that he’s really good.”
“I’ll tell him sometime in the future.”
“Why?”
“Because he’ll feel proud.”
Under the light in front of the hotel, Downey saw the small smile on Reece’s lips.
Meanwhile, Nie Chuan was single-handedly fighting on the front line in the game.
System notifications for messages from “Supreme Demon” came unceasingly: You received a marriage proposal, do you accept?
Nie Chuan really wanted to say yes, but as soon as he thought of Reece’s warning, he could only reluctantly ignore it.
It wasn’t even ten seconds before Nie Chuan received another notification from the “Supreme Demon” : I will marry you with my whole world, won’t you marry me?
Nie Chuan was covered in goosebumps. This idiot really thought he was a soft younger sister!
Nie Chuan ignored him but before long, another message came from the latter: I wish to protect you with my whole life, let’s get married ba!
It was soon going to be a game over for Nie Chuan. Forget it, just get married and then divorce! It’s impossible for Reece to know anyway!
Just when Nie Chuan was about to say yes, he heard the sound of the lock turning, and his heart immediately jumped.
No way ba! Reece actually came back! This is unscientific!
Nie Chuan had no choice but to give up this marriage opportunity and could already see his customs clearance failure.
“Have you taken a shower?” As soon as Reece came in, he took off his coat and hung it on the rack.
“Ye…… yes.”
Reece walked over and glanced at Nie Chuan’s screen, then said in a mild voice, “Died again.”
“Yeah.”
But Reece didn’t leave. Instead, before he could close the system messages, Reece read them one by one in Chinese.
“I will marry you with my whole world, won’t you marry me?” Reece’s voice didn’t fluctuate, but Nie Chuan instantly felt his heart get hooked.
“Hey! Don’t read it out loud! This is a fixed prompt from the system!”
Reece bent over, insistent on seeing the words on the screen clearly, but because of his lowered height, Nie Chuan could hear his voice even clearer: “I wish to protect you with my whole life. Let’s get married ba.”
Nie Chuan began desperately deleting system messages. Even the colorful jokes that Zhou Bin and Mao Xian made were deleted.
Reece, however, pressed on Nie Chuan’s hand, moved the mouse, and clicked on Nie Chuan’s public profile which showed that his gender was male and the marital status was unmarried.
Nie Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t click “yes” just now.
When Reece walked away, Nie Chuan finally felt the pressure alleviate.
At this time, Reece went back to his own desk, turned on the computer, then said to Nie Chuan, “I’ll carry you for half an hour, hurry up.”
“You’re carrying me?” Nie Chuan asked in puzzlement.
Immediately after, a system message popped up: You received a marriage proposal, do you accept?
The other party’s ID was actually Reece Reddington!
Looking again, the other had already reached the ranks of hardcore! Nie Chuan almost sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the screen.
“Why haven’t you accepted yet?” Reece asked.
Nie Chuan hurriedly agreed and, like this, he “married” himself off.
With no sweet talk at all!
It was completely unromantic!
Nie Chuan didn’t expect Reece’s game level to be so excellent. For the first time, he learned from experience what it meant to “slaughter in all four directions” in this game. Reece carried him and completely wiped out the experts who had previously beaten Nie Chuan into a sorry state. Nie Chuan subconsciously looked at Reece’s expression and found Reece was supporting his chin with one hand while looking at the game interface with his eyes lowered, as if the whole game was too simple and boring for him.
Then the “Supreme Demon” who had “proposed” to Nie Chuan countless times was ruthlessly slaughtered by Reece before he was liberated. He sent a message to Nie Chuan: I beseech your husband to let me off! Leave me a way out!
Nie Chuan glanced at Reece before replying: I can hardly protect myself now. You should just treat it as returning to your mother’s womb and getting a fresh start in life ba! Others want to experience it but can’t ne!
Nie Chuan could imagine how others would frantically complain: Fuck, it’s another ultra-expert tooting his horn!
On this night, mournful wails sounded throughout the area Nie Chuan frequented in the game.
Reece had said half an hour and the deviation in time was within 30 seconds. After half an hour, Nie Chuan really did clear customs. Reece logged out of his account, turned off his computer, and got up to go into the bathroom.
At this time, Nie Chuan could finally analyze the situation before him in detail.
My god! Reece also plays online games! And he’s already reached the level of “Emperor”! When did he start playing? Why does he not show it off at all?
It’s really unimaginable!
In this game, the so-called marriage was actually a way of “sharing property.” Not only could he team up with Reece to clear customs, he could use the equipment under Reece’s ID.
Nie Chuan clicked his character to have a look and almost choked to death on his own saliva!
Really having the wealth of an entire nation ah!
What’s more, Reece didn’t set restrictions on Nie Chuan’s account. That is to say, whatever Reece has, Nie Chuan can use!
Nie Chuan thought to himself, Reece surely forgot to set permissions! He must put it to use before he realizes!
He didn’t know if Reece had counted his equipment. If not, Nie Chuan especially wanted to take the opportunity to resell them. He would surely earn quite a lot of game currency!
Or transfer some to Zhou Bin and Mao Xian, saving them a lot of bitterness.
Just as the pit in Nie Chuan’s mind continued to expand, Reece came out wiping his hair.
A few days ago, Nie Chuan would have been stunned by the other’s good figure with all the envy, jealousy and hatred rolling in his heart, but at this time he had already accepted the reality.
“That, thank you!”
“You can use my equipment freely, but you can’t transfer or sell them,” Reece added, then folded his legs and leaned against the head of the bed as he began reading.
Nie Chuan stood there foolishly, repeating a question in his heart: Am I being kept?
“Are you not going to class tomorrow? Still not going to sleep!”
“Oh! Okay!”
“What did you eat after I left?” Reece frowned and looked in Nie Chuan’s direction.
Nie Chuan paused, as expected he still smelled it ah!
Although, anyone who couldn’t smell most likely had a nose problem ba!
“I wasn’t full, so I made some instant noodles.”
“In the future, don’t spray the air freshener from the bathroom into the bedroom. Do you want the bedroom and the bathroom to smell the same?”
“…… Got it.”
Nie Chuan lifted the quilt, but before he laid down, Reece spoke again, “Did you brush your teeth?”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
It had been Zhou Bin’s nonsense that made staring at Nie Chuan brushing his teeth at night become a part of Reece’s daily routine!
“I didn’t see it. Go brush again.”
At night, the matter of Nie Chuan not wanting to brush his teeth with Reece…… and the fact is that he had just randomly brushed a bit of toothpaste foam in his mouth, so if Reece wants him to brush all over again then just brush ba!
Finally, Nie Chuan laid down in the quilt. Reece also turned off the bedside lamp.
Drea: Reece has unlocked the achievement [Sugar Daddy]
