Nie Chuan quickly stood up.
Right at that moment, Reece hugged him.
His arms were reined tight, Nie Chuan’s bones were clenched until they creaked. He even suspected that Reece was trying to squeeze himself into his chest.
With a scent belonging to Reece in his nose, his entire spinning world seemed to stabilize.
Nie Chuan could even hear Reece’s heartbeat, powerful and surging like the sea.
Reece began to use more and more strength. Nie Chuan was hugged until he almost had difficulty breathing. He patted Reece’s back with difficulty.
“I…… I’m being strangled……”
At the moment, all Nie Chuan could think of was a certain news article online. After being separated for nearly a year, a couple reunited at a train station where the man tightly embraced his beloved girlfriend. In the end, he exerted so much force that the girl suffocated to death…… But he and Reece weren’t a couple nor had they not seen each other for a whole year, they’d only been apart for two weeks ah!
“Let me hold you, just for a little longer,” Reece’s voice was very soft and could make people feel inexplicably tenderhearted.
Fine, I’ll let you hug me considering how you aren’t in the right frame of mind right now ba!
It was the most powerful embrace Nie Chuan had ever experienced in his life. Fortunately, Reece also seemed to have sensed that he was crushing Nie Chuan and finally loosened his hold slightly but he still maintained the posture of holding him.
“Why did you come without calling in advance?” Reece’s voice was very close, his slightly gloomy tone made Nie Chuan also unconsciously immerse himself deeper.
“If I called in advance, wouldn’t you not let me come?” Nie Chuan asked with a smile.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t let you come.” Reece’s expression was indifferent.
No need to be this honest!
“Then can you not drive me away today, otherwise the airplane ticket would be wasted……” Nie Chuan deliberately acted pitiful.
“Then don’t go anywhere, just stay by my side.” Reece’s voice sounded very faint, making Nie Chuan inexplicably want to hold him close.
Once upon a time, Nie Chuan felt that taking a plane just to see someone was an impulsive, foolish, and impractical thing.
But at this moment, he realized that, from the past to the present, this may have been the most meaningful thing he had ever done.
Nie Chuan didn’t know how long this hug persisted, until the sound of thunder came from the overcast sky.
“Aiya! It’s going to rain!” Nie Chuan cried.
Reece released Nie Chuan, grabbed his wrist, and led him away with large strides.
“Where are we going? How’s your dad? Should I visit him at the hospital?” Nie Chuan asked as he walked.
“He’s fine now. It isn’t convenient for him to move his neck but he’s been discharged already.”
“So it was like that!” Nie Chuan suddenly recalled that it wouldn’t be good to visit a patient empty-handed.
But it felt a little strange to bring something like a basket of fruits.
“Then I’ll buy some flowers to see him?”

From beginning to end, Reece never spoke. This made Nie Chuan nervous.
Should he really not have come ne? Let’s say Reece’s father finally got discharged from the hospital. Instead of spending time accompanying his father, he now has to accompany him.
“That…… it doesn’t matter so just put me in any inexpensive hotel! I can book a flight back tomorrow! You’d better take care of your……”
Before Nie Chuan could finish, Reece suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
“What do you mean it doesn’t matter?” Reece seemed a little angry.
Although Nie Chuan didn’t get the point of his anger, the safest option was to not speak.
“You still have money for staying at a hotel after buying the ticket?” Reece asked.
This guy really knows my wallet too well!
“I haven’t paid back the thousand dollars you lent me……” Nie Chuan’s voice trailed away.
He originally planned to temporarily work in a fast food restaurant over the holidays.
“You came to New York just to fly back the very next day, are you content with just a glance?” Reece asked again.
Nie Chuan was speechless. But how are these words so strange? What does he mean “content with just a glance,” as if he was about to take his last breath……
“You don’t want to eat something good with me?”
Of course ah. But are you in the mood right now?
“You don’t want to talk some more with me?”
I also want to talk to you, but are you the type to chat with others……
“Don’t you want to play basketball together?”
Of course I do! Without a training partner like Reece, Nie Chuan felt as if all the muscles and bones in his body couldn’t stretch.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“I want to. But doesn’t looking after your father take first place? I don’t want to cause trouble for you. Plus, I’ve already seen you.” Nie Chuan replied.
“You’re satisfied with seeing me, but I may not necessarily be satisfied with just seeing you. He’s much better now. His neck is fine already, but he insists on leaving the cast on to win sympathy and it just happens to give him an excuse to push away all the cases that he doesn’t want to take.”
What does he mean “I may not necessarily be satisfied with just seeing you”, what do you think of me ah!
Nie Chuan found that he often didn’t understand Reece’s godly logic!
“Ah? He’s much better? How? I remember on the news that his ‘life or death was unknown’!”
Mr. Reddington recovered so soon? The house was blown to the sky ah! Like in a movie! And Reece wasn’t even particularly nervous when talking about him.
“The explosion happened after he left the house. It’s very clear that they only wanted to blow up the house, not to hurt anyone. He just happened to drive back for some papers and got caught up in it as a result. The car got overturned and even though he lost consciousness, he didn’t receive any serious injuries at all. He leaked information on purpose to exaggerate the facts. On the one hand, he was hoping the police would allocate enough force to solve the case while on the other, and the most important reason, was that he could use this as a pretext to push a case that he didn’t think had a high success rate. To put it bluntly, it’s just for his own reputation.”
Nie Chuan was dumbfounded, it sounded like an American drama.
“So? Are you planning to go back to New York tomorrow, or staying with me?” Reece asked.
“Of course stay with you!”
After Nie Chuan finished speaking these words, he immediately felt stupid!
Reece, can’t you speak properly?
Are you playing with me again ah!
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Nie Chuan seemed to detect a faint smile on Reece’s cold and stern face.
The car drove all the way to an old street. Along the roadside was a row of small, white apartment buildings and below the apartments were coffee shops or small stores.
The rain was getting heavier. The taxi sent them to the apartment building. Reece pulled Nie Chuan to run over but their clothes were still soaked through.
“You’re not sending me to a hotel?”
Reece took out a key, opened the door at the foot of the apartment building, and gently pushed Nie Chuan. “This is my home, why should I let you stay in a hotel?”
“This is your home? Hasn’t your home been blown up?”
Nie Chuan realized that with a family like Reece’s, it was impossible to only have one house.
The apartment building was very old, and as he followed Reece upstairs, they would occasionally see elderly people carrying their groceries up in stairlifts.
Reece opened the door and took off his shoes. He took a large bath towel from the bathroom, and covered Nie Chuan’s body with it.
Nie Chuan walked in and stepped barefoot on the wooden floor, making a creaking sound.
The apartment was small, with only a living room and one bedroom, but it was very neat and seemed to be cleaned frequently. There was a fabric sofa, a nostalgic television and VCR set, and white porcelain tea cups placed neatly on a long dining table.
When Nie Chuan walked up to the window, he could see the streets down below just like in the movies.
Nie Chuan poked his head out, the rain falling on the back of his head, when someone grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
“What’re you looking at?”
He didn’t know when Reece had come up behind him.
“I’m looking at that lamp! Would you say that’s a pumpkin or a pumpkin carriage?”
Reece smiled and propped himself on the windowsill. “That was my mother’s favorite lamp when she was little. It really is a pumpkin carriage but unfortunately the wheels all fell off.”
“Is this your mom’s childhood home?”
“Yeah,” Reece patted Nie Chuan. “Let’s go, I’ve filled the tub. Go soak, don’t catch a cold.”
“Ok, thanks!” Nie Chuan opened his bag. Fortunately, the clothes inside weren’t wet.
He found that Reece had already filled the bathtub with water. Nie Chuan’s family didn’t have a habit of taking baths, and there was no bathtub in their home.
Nie Chuan got in and the water went up to his neck. He sighed, “Wow, so comfortable! Maybe I’ll fall asleep in it and drown!”
At this time, Reece opened the door and Nie Chuan immediately tensed. “Hey! Why did you come in? I already brought my clothes in!”
“Do you have the face to soak in my tub all by yourself?” Reece said as lifted his wet shirt up, his waistline instantly giving rise to an indescribable feeling of threat to Nie Chuan.
“Of course I’m bathing by myself ah! If you also get in the bathtub, we won’t be able to fit!”
“How would you know the bathtub won’t fit us if you don’t try?”
The corners of Reece’s lip curled up. Nie Chuan had the premonition that this guy was deliberately trying to make him embarrassed.
“Even if you fit, it’s going to be really crowded ah!” Nie Chuan braced himself.
Reece sat on the edge of the bathtub with one hand propped on the edge of the tub, and looked into the water.
“There’s still a lot of space.”
“Not much! My legs are long! There won’t be any more once I straighten them!”
When Nie Chuan straightened his bent knees, his foot pressed against the other end of the bathtub. He was very pleased with his own growth!
But what Nie Chuan didn’t expect was that Reece would actually press his right arm directly into the water and place his palm between his legs.
“Is this not space?”
Nie Chuan’s hair almost stood up from the fright. Moreover, Reece’s hand just happened to bump against the inside of his thigh.
“Hey——” Nie Chuan cried out.
“I should put some little ducks in for you. You should be able to have a good time ba?” Reece moved closer to Nie Chuan.
Reece’s eyelashes moistened with the water vapor, so soft that Nie Chuan inexplicably wanted to lick them.
Nie Chuan was startled when he became aware of his own thoughts and, as soon as he lifted his leg, he completely rubbed against Reece’s arm. However, something that he didn’t expect even more happened. Reece pressed down his knee directly, not allowing Nie Chuan to get up.
“Hey! Let me up!”
“Let you up for what? Is there anywhere else worth seeing that you want to show me?”
“……”
