51.2
The next evening, Nie Chuan and Lily agreed to have Chinese food together. Nie Chuan had thought that they were going to the Asian restaurant on campus, he didn’t think Lily would make a reservation at a small, well-known Chinese restaurant outside of school. Nie Chuan didn’t have a car so Lily came to pick him up.
In the bedroom, Nie Chuan had already changed many times in front of the mirror.
If Zhou Bin was still there, he would have already given Nie Chuan reliable advice, but right now his roommate was Reece.
Reece sat in front of his computer, typing his paper without any intention of looking up at Nie Chuan.
“Hey, Reece! How do you think I look?”
Nie Chuan had matched a denim jacket and slacks with a plaid shirt. Although it didn’t have any particularly distinguishing features, Nie Chuan’s body proportion was very good and in addition to him growing taller, his whole person appeared very handsome.
“Aren’t you just going out to eat? It’s not a beauty pageant.” Reece’s eyes never left the screen.
“Forget it…… I’ll just go like this!”
Just when Nie Chuan was leaving, Reece suddenly spoke, “Do you like her?”
Nie Chuan turned to find that Reece was still looking at his computer, but the document he opened didn’t seem to have had a word typed onto it in a long time.
“Why do you ask?” Even if Nie Chuan was dense, he could sense that Reece was unhappy.
“Because you really care about how you look in her eyes.”
Nie Chuan thought for a moment then replied, “I don’t like Lily the same way I liked Celine, I just think she’s a good girl. Plus, she acknowledges me and has also given me a lot of help so I have a good opinion of her. While my father may be a well-known scholar in China, here he is only an ordinary worker at a research institute but Lily is from a very affluent family and I don’t want her to think I’m uneducated, have no manners, or don’t respect her.”
Reece finally turned to look at Nie Chuan, his eyes profound. Something within seemed to press down on Nie Chuan, giving him the illusion of being unable to breathe.
“In that case, it’s good that you don’t actually like her.”
“Why?”
“Or else I’d make you very miserable.” Reece turned back around, his fingers quickly pounding away on the keyboard.
“Huh? What do you mean? Don’t tell me you like Lily?”
“Go eat your food.”
“Hey! If you like Lily then I won’t eat with her!”
Reece suddenly laughed, “So whoever I like, you won’t eat with that person?”
“Yeah!”
Isn’t there a saying that you shouldn’t covet your friend’s wife?
“Then won’t you starve yourself?” Reece raised an eyebrow.
“……”
“Go. When you’ve really stepped on my bottom line, I’ll let you know.”
“Huh?”
Has Reece entered that unfathomable state again?
But since Reece said he could eat together with Lily, it shouldn’t affect their relationship if he went!
Moreover, Nie Chuan felt that he would rather fall into an incessant state of unrequited love rather than always fantasizing about Reece……
“Then I’ll leave first, see you tonight!”

“Allen, you look very dashing today.”
“Really?” This was the first time a girl complimented Nie Chuan to his face.
“It’s probably because I always see you in sportswear. Although to be honest, I like seeing you in sportswear more.”
“Sure enough, girls like sports!” Nie Chuan was smiling, but what came to mind was how if it wasn’t the football team then it was the swimming team that the girls who rejected him liked.
“It’s not the sports, Allen, it’s your legs—— they look especially good.”
Nie Chuan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He laughed stiffly and propped up his chin to look out the window.
“Allen, your ears are red,” Lily said jokingly.
At that moment, Nie Chuan suddenly thought of how Reece’s hands had slowly reached under his towel, the feeling of it covering his calf, and the warmth that seemed to control the flow of blood in his entire body.
He wondered, how was Reece’s paper coming along?
What will he eat tonight ne?
Nie Chuan hurriedly drove Reece out of his mind, the one who occupies the stage today should be Lily!
When Lily pulled Nie Chuan into the restaurant, Nie Chuan’s heart “jolted.” The restaurant seemed small, but it’s interior was like an imitation of a Tang Dynasty painting. The dishes were very exquisite but they were also very expensive! Inwardly, Nie Chuan calculated how much money he still had on his card…… he sadly found that he had spent too much on the dry cleaning last time. If he had known that Lily would choose this restaurant, he would have immediately asked to borrow money from Zhou Bin!
When ordering, Nie Chuan naturally left the decision to Lily, who ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable, a soup, and some light refreshments.
“What would you like to drink? Coke?” Lily asked.
“No need, I’ll just have tea! Their jasmine tea is very good!” Nie Chuan replied with a smile.
One coke here is enough for half a case outside!
After placing the order, Nie Chuan calculated in his head, in addition to the dishes, there is also a 10% service charge and he didn’t know if there were any other fees.
Lily was a very good conversationalist. Nie Chuan originally thought that someone from a family like hers would talk about luxury bags, fashion styles, and various beauty products like in the dramas, but practically all her topics revolved around Nie Chuan, including basketball, Nie Chuan’s courses and almost everything related to China.
This allowed Nie Chuan to communicate with her without worrying that the topics would dry up.
When Lily went to the bathroom, Nie Chuan quickly took out his phone and called Zhou Bin.
“Ah Bin! Ah Bin! Quickly lend me some money! I can’t afford the bill!”
It was very humiliating (losing face) but in front of Zhou Bin, he didn’t need face.
“How much do you need to borrow?”
Nie Chuan froze when he heard the cool voice come through.
“Why…… why does this seem to be Reece’s voice?”
“I am Reece.”
Nie Chuan was stunned, he called the wrong number! Because Reece had already replaced Zhou Bin as the most frequent contact on Nie Chuan’s contact list, who Nie Chuan called wasn’t Zhou Bin but Reece!
“I…… I called the wrong number, haha……”
He must quickly connect with Zhou Bin before Lily’s back ah!
“I’ll transfer it to you.”
Reece hung up first.
In less than 10 seconds, a $1000 transfer appeared on Nie Chuan’s phone. Nie Chuan was dumbfounded, did Reece’s hand accidentally enter an extra zero ah! No matter what he ate, he wouldn’t be able to spend $1000 ah!
When Nie Chuan was swiping his card, he began calculating how many days’ worth of ramen (tn: was sandwich but I thought ramen made more sense) he had to eat before he could pay Reece back. Is Reece insane?
Back in the dorm, Reece was sitting in bed reading.
Nie Chuan walked up to Reece and said, “Um…… I really appreciate you lending me the money! I still have 700 that I didn’t use, I’ll return that to you.”
“It’s okay for you to pay the whole thousand back in full.” Reece slowly put the book down and looked at Nie Chuan with a familiar smirk on his lips, “It can be repaid in other ways.”
“There’s other ways?”
“En,” Reece lifted the quilt and opened his legs slightly in front of Nie Chuan, “If you use your hands, it’ll count as ten dollars; if you use your mouth, it’ll be twenty. If it’s the back, I’ll give you a hundred dollars.”
“What hand…… and mouth and back?” Nie Chuan was at a complete loss.
Reece laughed and raised his chin. There was a male sex appeal to his posture. His fingers hooked the key ring of the Ninja Turtle and twirled it twice. “Who made you be my first love?”
Nie Chuan abruptly understood, grabbed his pillow and rushed towards Reece, ruthlessly pressing it on his face, “Go to hell! I won’t need to pay you back if you suffocate to death!”
Damn—— making these senseless jokes again! Could you cut it out already!
Nie Chuan regretted not turning on the recording function on his phone, he wanted to show Reece’s worst side to the whole world!
Reece raised his hands to encircle Nie Chuan’s waist. His long legs suddenly caught Nie Chuan, and the world turned upside down. Nie Chuan found himself overturned on the bed. The pillow was thrown aside and his wrists were clasped and pressed down beside his ears by Reece. Why was it that no matter how he imagined this scene, he felt overwhelmed……
As soon as Nie Chuan looked up, he met Reece’s eyes, which looked tranquil but there seemed to be a faint flame burning within.
“I’ll give you one last chance, let me kiss you, and one thousand dollars will be written off.”
Nie Chuan immediately pursed his lips and glared at Reece.
If this guy was serious, Nie Chuan would uppercut him without the slightest hesitation. In any case, his first kiss would be gone!
But how could a kiss possibly be a thousand dollars? He was clearly playing with him. The moment he took it seriously, this guy would definitely raise his eyebrow and make fun of him!
Nie Chuan found that he couldn’t stand it when Reece joked like this.
Reece looked at Nie Chuan and released Nie Chuan’s hand after a few seconds.
“If you don’t want to then forget it. Remember to pay me back the $1000, not one cent less.”
I was planning to return it to you anyways, every last cent!
The semester passed just like this. The last few days of exams were like hell for many people, especially advanced mathematics.
But Nie Chuan felt very relaxed. Reece has already taught him many subjects by hand, and Nie Chuan felt thankful to Reece for the first time!
When handing in his exam, Nie Chuan lit twelve pillars of incense to Reece in his heart.
Advanced Mathematics was the last exam, and when Nie Chuan returned to the dormitory, he didn’t see Reece.
“Ah? Reece didn’t finish the exam yet?”
At his level, he should already be in the dorm by now putting his things in order ah.
Maybe he’s playing basketball outside?
Nie Chuan pushed Reece’s wardrobe open in passing, only to find that several pieces of clothing were gone.
“Where did Reece’s clothes go?”
Nie Chuan also wanted to ask Reece to have dinner together ne! Tomorrow, he would certainly need to pack up and return home. They may not see each other for a whole holiday ah!
Nie Chuan dialed Reece’s phone, but it showed that the other had it turned off.
“Could he still be working on a problem?”
Bored, Nie Chuan began packing up. By the time he was finished, it was almost 7:30 in the evening. Nie Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling: Don’t tell him Reece didn’t have the slightest bit of tacit understanding with him as roommates and went to eat by himself?
He called Reece again, but it was still turned off.
“So mad!” Nie Chuan simply threw the phone and angrily ate three hamburgers.
When he walked back to the room while rubbing his stomach, his cell phone finally rang. It was Reece.
“Hey, Reece! Where are you!”
“I’m already in New York.”
As if it was as simple as going from the bedroom to the dining room!
“New York? That fast……” Nie Chuan was stunned. At the end of the semester, you went home without even saying goodbye?
He must give this roommate a bad review!
“Did you eat dinner?” Reece asked.
“Ate.”
“What did you eat?”
“A hamburger with coke,” Nie Chuan really wanted to hang up in a fury, but then he thought about how Reece still knew to call back. Let’s talk ba!
His call probably couldn’t get through just now because Reece was on the plane ba.
“I just got off the plane.” From Reece’s side came the sound of broadcasting at airports.
“Oh.”
In fact, when he thought about it, Nie Chuan felt that it was quite strange how he and Reece called each other like this. Reece wasn’t his girlfriend, he had no obligation to report where he was at all times.
“There’s a matter with my family so I’m going back to handle it.”
“A matter? Is it major?” Nie Chuan grew worried.
“Nothing major, it’s just an emergency. Can you help me put my sheets away in the wardrobe?”
“No problem!”
“Don’t eat too many snacks and exercise properly during the holiday. When the next semester starts, I’ll beat you if you’ve regressed.”
“Got it!”
“Goodbye.”
When Reece’s “Goodbye” sounded, Nie Chuan’s heart felt inexplicably lost.
Why is it just a “bye” ne? They can’t play basketball together for a whole holiday ah!
Drea: Reese sure is a “Sugar” Daddy in this chapter… Get it? Reese’s? No?… okay…
MadMadamMims: Awwwwww I feel bad for poor little NC. But DAMN Reece you are so shameless! Use his hands and mouth ><

Big Shameless Sugar Daddy Reece: “If you use your hands, it’ll count as ten dollars; if you use your mouth, it’ll be twenty. If it’s the back, I’ll give you a hundred dollars.”
Innocent as Fuck Nie Chuan: “What hand…… and mouth and back?”Me who was eating and holding a popcorn watching the innocent Nie Chuan go to the trap made by a Big Bad Wolf

Ai yaaa Reece shame shame shame
whisper ᴵ ᶜʰᵒᵒˢᵉ ᵇᵃᶜᵏ ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
LOL, and I was thinking that I was the only one that thought about the Reese’s joke. Specially since NC likes chocolate so much :3c
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you Lily for confirming that my boy got legs, pls miss, confirm that my boy’s ass is top notch too 👁👁. Also Reece and his “10, 20, 100” schtick 🤪👌🏻 How more forward does he need to be for you to get it NC?!
What was Nie Chuan eating that it cost him more than $300??? Wow. I’m surprised Reece was okay with Nie Chuan putting his sheets away for him. Then again, it’s his first love. And Nie Chuan… wasn’t your first kiss already stolen by Reece in the library? Or did I remember that incorrectly? Reece is shameless. Thanks for the update!
I would like to pick the whole package please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I can’t believe I thought Lily and Celine were the same person…
female characters don’t get the screentime they deserve •́ ‿ ,•̀
thank you for the chapter!
Agreed :’) I personally really like Lily as a character but sadly this is BL.
it might be an actual problem, or reese needs a break to cool down so he zhou bin doesn’t get his crush sent back to china. if it’s the first one, we’ll hear more abt it soon. if it’s the last, reese ofc can’t explain it to nie chuan. im secretly hoping its both bc that would be the most dramatic
thanks for the chapter
300 dollars on Chinese food?? How much did they eat!?
