Extra release as a special thanks to Elaine for the Ko-Fi! Elaine, thanks so much! Your (as well as everyone else’s) support has me pumped ^-^
“Do you want the duck? It was mine when I was little.” Reece’s smile was very obvious.
Nie Chuan only felt like there were countless ants crawling through his veins.
“No, play by yourself!”
“I’d better soak with you still.”
“I said it’s crowded!”
“I need to watch you.”
“Watching me for what?”
“Just in case you fall asleep and drown?”
What Nie Chuan had said just now became something Reece could use against him.
He choked on the water and coughed vigorously.
“Look, didn’t you almost drown?”
As he spoke, Reece had already completely taken off all his clothes and lifted his legs to step in.
When that large part of his passed by Nie Chuan’s eyes, the veins in his face almost burst.
Reece didn’t seem to care about being seen by Nie Chuan at all and calmly sat down against the other side.
Water immediately splashed over the edge of the tub. “Look! It’s all you! The water is overflowing!” Nie Chuan cried out.
“Yeah, the water is spilling out. If I get up again, you’ll have no water left.” Reece leaned back against the tub.
His legs were too long. When he stretched out, his knees were still bent but Nie Chuan could feel that his toes were about to touch his little brother.
“I’m not bathing anymore!”
Nie Chuan was just about to get up when his ankle was clasped by Reece and pressed firmly to both sides. From this angle, Reece could see him very clearly.
“Looking at it from the water, your ‘little duck’ really is quite cute. It’s like it’ll float.”
This must be a new way of calling Nie Chuan small.
It’s too insulting!
“Go to hell!” Nie Chuan wiggled his body but Reece was too strong. His legs had no way of separating from the other’s control.
“Stop flailing or my foot might kick your ‘little duck.’ If it breaks, a band-aid will be useless.”
Obviously, he was only teasing Nie Chuan but Reece had a kind of sex appeal that could wreak havoc.
Nie Chuan once thought that Reece was very handsome and had been very envious but at this very moment, he also found that this appeal was different.
His throat felt extremely dry and hoarse.

He subconsciously folded his knees, bumping into his legs.

His ankle ached and he unconsciously struggled, Reece was using too much strength.
“It hurts ah—— let me go!”
Reece suddenly smiled, “If you feel crowded, there’s this solution.”
Nie Chuan’s calves were pulled apart by the other and rested over the edges of the tub. Reece’s legs straightened completely with Nie Chuan’s thighs resting directly on his lower legs.
This posture was ambiguous enough to break through the sky, alright!
“Hey—— do you even have a bottom line ah!” Nie Chuan shouted.
“What bottom line do I need towards you?” Reece’s smile was like a drop of ink falling down, smudging the whole world in his color.
Nie Chuan felt increasingly anxious.
This feeling of being out of control and completely influenced by the other was terrible.
Nie Chuan sat up and was about to smack Reece but Reece didn’t even dodge. Nie Chuan’s legs slipped on the edge of the bathtub and fell backwards into the water.
“Nie Chuan!”
Reece finally stopped playing with him. He retreated his legs and turned to pull Nie Chuan out of the water.
Nie Chuan clung to the edge of the bathtub and coughed vigorously, his eyes tearing.
Reece, who was also leaning against the side of the bathtub, smiled again, “Why are you so dumb? Hmm?”
Nie Chuan glared at him fiercely. “Who let you play around with me!”
“So you didn’t come here to make me happy?”
“……”
“If you don’t let me play, how can I be happy?”
Reece smiled again. In these short few minutes, he seemed to have smiled more times than Nie Chuan had ever seen.
His eyelashes trembled lightly. The water droplets slipped from his temples to his cheeks, meandering down his neck. Nie Chuan only felt that there was something pulling at his nerves, making him couldn’t help but lean closer.
He wanted to bump into them, but he couldn’t find another more profound way of approaching Reece.
Reece regarded Nie Chuan with his chin propped up, then lifted his finger and scratched the bridge of his nose.
“You look like you want to kiss me.”
Something was pierced through and flowed in all directions, impossible to be recovered.
Nie Chuan’s calf twitched and he immediately hugged his knee and curled up.
“Hey, what happened!” Reece’s smile instantly disappeared and he leaned down. In such a crowded space, he was practically hugging Nie Chuan.
“My calf……” Nie Chuan hadn’t had a muscle spasm in a while.
“Don’t be nervous. Slowly relax.”
Reece’s hands went down Nie Chuan’s thigh to arrive at his knee before slowly moving around to the back till they were supporting the muscles of his calf. His palms were warmer than the water. He kept pressing down, all the way to Nie Chuan’s ankle.
Nie Chuan knew that he was going to twist in the opposite direction. Although the pain in that moment faded quickly, it was absolutely uncomfortable.
“Hey, it’s okay.”
Reece was almost touching Nie Chuan’s cheeks. They were leaning against each other closely without any barriers. It was the first time Nie Chuan was this close to Reece.
At that moment, Reece twisted it. Before Nie Chuan could react, the pain passed, all that remained was a feeling of heat and swelling.
He exhaled.
“What did you eat during the holidays?”
“I ate bone broth with pork and noodles! It’s a calcium supplement!” No matter how Nie Chuan thought about it, why did he feel that he couldn’t possibly be lacking calcium.
“Is that about wanting to grow taller again?” Reece got up and stood in front of Nie Chuan.
At that moment, that big weapon almost poked Nie Chuan in the face, frightening him into falling backwards again. Fortunately, there wasn’t that much water, otherwise he would choke himself again.
I know you’re proud of that place! But no need to show off like this!
I’ll get a psychological shadow/scarred!
“Ah, there’s no towels. You wait here.” Without any regard for the water dripping from his body, Reese walked out of the bathroom.
Nie Chuan only got a rear view with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. The lines of his legs were so distinct that they couldn’t be any clearer, it was simply the envy of both man and God!
However, he was also sparing no effort to catch up! These days, he had been eating more and sleeping soundly. The fact that his lower legs will cramp only indicates one point: that his, Nie Chuan’s, height was advancing by leaps and bounds!
“What are you thinking?” Reece came in with a towel and put it on Nie Chuan’s face.
“Not telling you! I’m afraid you’ll be jealous!”
I’m still growing, you’ve already stopped!
Reece suddenly pressed the towel and stuck it firmly on Nie Chuan’s face.
“Hey—— What are you doing?”
“You’re not telling me? Afraid that I’ll be jealous?”
Nie Chuan knew that Reece wouldn’t really suffocate him to death, but this kind of behavior was really nasty ah! In his heart, Nie Chuan strongly condemned it.
He tried to pull the towel off with all his might but Reese only pressed harder. Nie Chuan could even picture the smirk on the corner of his lips.
“Dying…… I’m dying…… I admit defeat!” Nie Chuan fell backwards, lying against the bathtub to play dead.
“Hey, your little duck is showing,” Reece started provoking Nie Chuan again.
Nie Chuan abruptly remembered that he wasn’t wearing anything and hurriedly reached down to cover it.
At that moment, something pressed firmly on his lips through the towel, crushing it with extreme force as if something had broken through all the restraints to enter his mouth.
Nie Chuan reached out to push but it seemed that Reece had switched to his right hand and pressed even closer.
“I…… I’ll get a nosebleed at this rate……”
[tn: he’s saying there’s so much pressure that he’ll get a nosebleed pressed out]
When Reece’s hand finally released him, Nie Chuan furiously took the towel off. It was meant to be used to dry his hair. In the end, it fell in the water before he could use it on his head.
“Go dry up and wipe your hair, I’ll call takeout.”
Spoken this way, Nie Chuan felt hungry.
Fortunately, Reece had a conscience and left him a dry towel for when he got out of the tub.
As he was wiping, he suddenly thought of something. As soon as he turned back, he saw Reece standing at the entrance of the bathroom, watching him without any disguise.
Moreover, Nie Chuan always felt that he was staring at the position below his waist.
“Where are you looking!” Nie Chuan shouted.
Reece’s eyes seemed to embed itself in every nook and cranny of his body. Nie Chuan only felt a throb below and immediately surrounded himself with the towel in a fluster.
Reece’s eyes followed his gaze downwards, as if tracing the lines of his calves.
Nie Chuan had an illusion that the other’s eyes could flip his towel open.
“Little duck, you really are small.”
Reece let Nie Chuan’s burning gaze slowly cool down and his lips curled into a faint smile.
“That’s none of your business!” For the first time, Nie Chuan unbridledly gave Reece the middle finger.
After changing his clothes, Nie Chuan came out to see Reece opening the takeout he had ordered.
“Ah, fried lotus root with snow peas! Chili poached eggs! And stir-fried beef! I like all of these!”
Reece didn’t speak as he handed chopsticks to Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan couldn’t wait to start eating.
Just then, his phone rang. Nie Chuan got up and fished the phone out of his bag. As soon as he saw the caller ID, he quickly swallowed down the food in his mouth.
“Hey, Lily! Haha, I’m in New York right now! Yeah, it was to see that important friend of mine!”
Nie Chuan was very thankful to Lily. If it wasn’t for what Lily had said to him then he probably wouldn’t have realized his own feelings nor would he have come to New York to stay by Reece’s side.
“Then I’ll come too.” Lily’s voice carried a smile.
“You’re also coming to New York? Are you seeing friends?”
As Nie Chuan was chatting with Lily, he looked up at Reece only to find that the slight smile on the corner of his lip was no longer warm and the expression on his face also became indifferent.
Nie Chuan honey can you at least protect your Tofu?~ Don’t you know it was being thoroughly eaten by Reece!
Wanna ask Reece what it feels after eating Nie Chuan tofu and yet force to drink a vinegar jar made by Lily?
Thanks for the chapter<3
I had just finished reading the last chapter and now there’s a new one. I guess it’s my lucky day~~
Reece about to sulk real bad pft. Lily dear you’re just gonna be a lightbulb, so you better just stay there.
Oya Oya how’s the taste of vinegar after eating ton of sweets, Reece?? I bet it’s not sour, it’s bitter right??
Thanks for double update translation!! (人´∀｀)｡ﾟ+❤️❤️
I can no longer maintain my composure, Reece! Since you’re so smart and like numbers won’t you help me with this question? Can you measure how deep it is inside Nie Chuan? Please tell me the maximum of what fits, feel free to use all the tools at your disposal! ( ^ q ^ )👉🏻👌🏻
Realized his feelings!! Is it the feeling of love? 🤭 You should get together already. 😂
