“Go back to watching the movie!”
Nie Chuan pretended like nothing happened but his heart was beating violently.
Fortunately, Reece didn’t continue on this topic and the car nearby had also stopped shaking.
Reece looked quietly at the screen in the distance with no expression on his face. Several times, when there was a frightening scene, Nie Chuan would close his eyes and dare not look but Reece had no reaction.
Nie Chuan had doubts as to what Reece’s nerves were made of.
Finally, when they finished the movie, Nie Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
All the cars left the drive-in theater in succession.
On the way, as the light from the street lamps passed over Reece’s profile one by one, Nie Chuan subconsciously looked in his direction.
“If I hadn’t stopped you, would you have gone with them?” Reece unhurriedly asked.
“How is that possible?”
Why did the subject go back to this? Deep down, Nie Chuan was full of tears!
“Weren’t they pretty? Didn’t you say you never thought you’d get hit on by pretty girls?”
“I was just saying! How could I possibly have gone! You were waiting for me!”
“Then if I hadn’t been there and it had been Zhou Bin or Mao Xian accompanying you, would you have gotten into that Jeep?”
“No! Of course not!”
“Then why didn’t you push her away?”
“I…… I didn’t dare touch her!” Nie Chuan cried out hastily.
Reece chuckled. It wasn’t a sneer, but a real laugh.
“Fortunately you didn’t go or you certainly would have contracted some messy disease.”
“Of course I wouldn’t have.”
“If you went, I would break off relations with you.”
“I know, I couldn’t possibly have gone!”
This subject finally ended when they returned to Reece’s apartment.
Reece parked the car and went upstairs with Nie Chuan.
They had only gone up halfway when the lights in the stairway suddenly dimmed.

Nie Chuan grasped it without hesitation.
“Every flight has twelve steps.”
Reece’s finger just happened to hook the palm of Nie Chuan’s hand. Nie Chuan could clearly feel the temperature of the other’s finger.
It made him feel at ease.
When they were back in the apartment, it was already late and time to go to bed.
Nie Chuan climbed onto the side of the bed that was against the wall. Reece sat on the bedside and asked, “Aren’t you worried about getting up at night? Want to sleep on the outside?”
“No! I probably won’t get up tonight, I’ll just sleep on the inside!”
He obviously wouldn’t tell Reece that he was afraid. Having just finished watching a horror movie, Nie Chuan’s mind was full of that ghost wearing a white nightgown with her hair dragging on the ground.
If he slept on the inside then he’ll have Reece on one side and the wall on the other, he won’t need to be afraid!
“Didn’t you drink two cans of Coke today? You’d better sleep on the outside.”
“I won’t get up at night.” Nie Chuan quickly laid down and faced the wall.
Reece pulled the quilt open and laid down. His foot happened to brush against Nie Chuan’s. Nie Chuan’s back stiffened. Subconsciously, he wanted to keep touching, but it disappeared too quickly.
“Nie Chuan, when I was little, I watched a movie about a husband who murdered his wife and put her body inside the wall of a newly renovated house. Every night, he would sleep against that wall.”
Nie Chuan’s shoulders trembled. I finally thought of a way to strengthen my own sense of security, could you not destroy it ah!
“Then one day, the man died. When his body was found, there were marks on his neck.”
Nie Chuan swallowed and began imagining that scene in his mind.
“I don’t remember how the movie ended. Maybe someone killed him in revenge for his wife, or maybe it was some other reason…… but I’ve always believed that it was the wife’s ghost that came out of the wall and strangled her husband to death.”
Nie Chuan was about to cry. Is this the rhythm of not letting people sleep peacefully?
“I’d better just sleep on the outside…… It seems like it’ll make it easier to get out of bed at night after drinking so much Coke.”
Nie Chuan climbed over Reece’s body. He could feel Reece’s bent knees slide over the side of his waist.
Nie Chuan turned around and faced Reece’s direction, but with nothing against his back he constantly felt as if something was standing by the bed looking at him. He closed his eyes tightly with all kinds of scenes from horror movies in his mind. It was simply impossible to fall asleep.
“Hey, you frown even while sleeping?” Reece pressed his finger on the spot between his brows.
“The lights are out! How can you still see me frowning?”
“Open your eyes for a look and you’ll know if you can see clearly or not.”
Reece’s voice was both soothing and seductive. Nie Chuan slowly opened his eyes. The other’s face was within reach. The lighting was clearly negligible yet Nie Chuan could trace over every contour of the other’s eyes and the bridge of his nose. Everything seemed to extend out from Reece’s eyes, as if even the whole world was a part of Reece.
“Can you see my brows?”
“En.”
His brow bones had a neat and elegant contour, giving Nie Chuan an urge to kiss them.
“Have you been thinking about the plot of that horror movie just now?” Reece shifted in Nie Chuan’s direction. That kind of close whisper made Nie Chuan’s heart beat uncontrollably.
Reece’s breath was warm and moist as it brushed over every pore of Nie Chuan’s cheeks.
“Yeah! So stop scaring me!”
“Instead of fantasizing about things that don’t exist, you should just look at me.” Reece raised a finger and lightly tapped on Nie Chuan’s forehead.
“If I look at you, the fantasy would get even more unrealistic……” Once Nie Chuan finished, he wanted to bite off his tongue.
Reece smiled. Although Nie Chuan couldn’t see clearly, it was precisely because he was in the shadows that he appeared distinct and full of mystery. It made people unable to guess what he was truly thinking.
“Then what would you fantasize?” Reece’s fingers lightly rubbed against Nie Chuan’s ear. His movements were very gentle and Nie Chuan closed his eyes subconsciously.
“Why should I tell you. Guess for yourself!”
Aren’t you always making me guess what you like or what you’re thinking about? Now it’s your turn to guess!
Guess if you have the ability ah!
I want to kiss you.
I want to hold you……
I also want to…… do this and that!
Have you guessed it?
“I know what you’re thinking.”
“Then say it.” Nie Chuan closed his eyes, not looking at Reece.
Don’t look at how the other makes fun of you; out of sight, out of mind!
“I’m not telling you.”
“Forget it then. I’m going to sleep!”
Nie Chuan didn’t want to continue on this topic. Because he was afraid that if he continued, he wouldn’t be able to control himself and Reece would see through him even more.
I’ll try my best to meet all your expectations, after that…… it can only be like this.
Nie Chuan’s originally brimming heart inexplicably became empty.
At this time, Reece suddenly stretched his arm over and gently encircled Nie Chuan.
“I’ll hold you, don’t be afraid. Sleep,” Reece whispered softly.
In Reece’s arms, Nie Chuan’s tortuous world became soft yet also tortuous.
“Mmm……” Nie Chuan’s nerves slowly relaxed and his breathing gradually lengthened.
Reece didn’t close his eyes. He quietly gazed at Nie Chuan’s lowered eyelashes. Because he was relaxed, his lips were opened slightly.
Ten or so minutes later, Nie Chuan was fast asleep.
Reece leaned in. His lips brushed against Nie Chuan’s lower lip, and the tip of his tongue gently traced the seam of Nie Chuan’s lips.
“Hmm..…” Nie Chuan murmured softly.
Reece laid back down on the pillow and gently stroked Nie Chuan’s ear with his fingers. Nie Chuan pursed his lips and, with the tip of his tongue, he licked his lower lip which had just been kissed by Reece.
He turned over unconsciously, not forgetting to pull Reece’s wrist along as if Reese’s arm was a part of the blanket.
Reece smiled, tightening his arms slightly and Nie Chuan’s back pressed into his embrace.
When Nie Chuan woke up, it was already very bright.
He shifted, found that he was hugging Reece’s arm very domineeringly, and his heart shook. Did Reece really hold him for the entire night?
Nie Chuan pretended that he didn’t know anything and continued to hold Reece’s arm. Even though it was very childish of him, he just didn’t want to let go.
Feeling the steady breathing of Reece behind him, Nie Chuan felt that this morning was really too beautiful!
But such a good time didn’t continue for long before Nie Chuan needed to go pee. There really was no way of conquering the biological clock ah!
Nie Chuan held it in till the point he was dying. Eventually, he reluctantly let go of Reece’s hand to rush out of the bed and hurried into the bathroom.
Reece sat up hurriedly and chuckled.
MadMadamMims: My heart >< They are being so soft!

The chapter title gives me boku no pico vibes 😭
Thank you for the update!! The dog food in this chap was delicious
Oho…so Drea-san…mind spoiling us which chapter will be the confession?
Thanks for the chapter~
Reece is just eating all the tofu. Nie Chuan would probably welcome it too, if he didn’t get a heart attack first. I wonder how they will make it clear to each other. What will it take for Nie Chuan to finally understand Reece’s feelings? I think, unlike all the over-the-top actions Reece has been doing, it’s going to be something small and simple. Like the way Reece always helps him with math homework. But it would be fun if it was something crazy too. Thanks for the update!
