“Ah? Really?” Nie Chuan took a look at the newspaper. It was news about Reece’s father, James Reddington, attending a charity dinner. Published was a photo of his ruddy face as he led a beautiful assistant along on his left.

  ZXgCQe

    He seemed……to have really gotten better.

    “That guy who blew up your family’s villa got caught?”

  uvcnhN

    “Mmm, they caught him. It was his former assistant. After being thrown away by my father, he held a grudge.”

 

    Reece’s voice was calm, as if he had long expected this to be the result. 

 

BtX7Mg

    “What? It wasn’t because of the previous case?”

 

    This answer was truly beyond Nie Chuan’s expectations. 

  tbLUHj

    “And he’s with his assistant, doesn’t your mother care at all?”

 

    “Of course not, they’ve been divorced for several years already,” Reece replied. 

  H0fk7u

    It seemed like divorces were common here.

 

    “He’s always wanted to remarry my mother , so he’s been using such childish methods to attract her attention. He thought my mother would feel jealous.” Reece’s eyes carried some ridicule.

  tCMSUs

    “Doing it like this, wouldn’t your mom not want to get back together with him even more?” Nie Chuan suddenly couldn’t understand what Reece’s father was thinking.

    “He thought that pretending to be seriously injured from the explosion would get her attention, but my mother happened to be doing an exchange in China, so she didn’t know about what happened to him at all.” 

  kZ6gxD

    Nie Chuan was even more speechless. 

 

    How does Reece’s father have a temperament similar to a child’s? He completely didn’t resemble a powerful figure in the legal world ah!

  9Vnkbm

    “Your personality must take after your mom.” Nie Chuan came to this conclusion.

 

   “Probably.” Reece turned his laptop to Nie Chuan, “I booked you a ticket back for the day after tomorrow.”

  pdGClE

    “Oh, okay.” Nie Chuan nodded, “I’ll pay for it myself!”

 

   “Of course you’re paying for it yourself, did you think I’d pay for you?”

  liJADI

    “……” Nie Chuan was speechless again.

 

    “Let’s not play basketball tomorrow, we can go to Deno’s Wonder Wheel.”

  THM j0

    “Ah, okay!”

    “Then it’s set. Drink your milk, we’re going to bed.”

  15wzqM

    Reece really went to warm up milk for Nie Chuan. 

 

    That night, Nie Chuan had a very shameful dream. 

  P4QWay

     He and Reece were sitting on the ferris wheel at Wonder Park. Nie Chuan held an ice cream in his hand while Reece sat beside him. Reece bit off the top of the ice cream then kissed Nie Chuan on the lips. He kept kissing him until he finished the entire ice cream in this way……

 

    When Nie Chuan was shaken awake by Reece, he truly felt too embarrassed to open his eyes. 

  xgbQ9F

    “Hey, I told you to get up, you dare to frown and not open your eyes?” Reece pinched Nie Chuan’s face hard. 

 

    “Ah! You pinched me!”

  vzsGrb

    “I called you, yet you pretend to be asleep,” Reece said in amusement.

  mEtoeI

    He found that Nie Chuan hadn’t followed, so he had to walk back with his hands in his pockets. He stood beside Nie Chuan and said coolly, “I should buy you one of those children’s positioning watches.”

 

    “Huh? What would I do with something like that?” Nie Chuan wrinkled his brow and asked.

  rHkQDt

    Was this a new way of mocking him? 

 

    “That way if you’re attracted to some childish thing and get separated from me, I can find you through the GPS.”

  Ci21Oq

    “……Fine, I’m not looking anymore, let’s go ba.”

 

    “Based on your tastes, you should want to ride the merry-go-round or the teacups.”

  KNsTpE

    “Hey, how can I like those kinds of kid’s things!” Nie Chuan was speechless.

 

    Reece pointed to the snack cart with his thumb. “That’s not a kid’s thing?”

  8QuHet

    “……I was just looking at it, I didn’t say I wanted to buy it ah.”

    “Then let’s go on the roller coaster.”

  Cbf0Ic

    Starting with something so thrilling so soon?

 

    Nie Chuan suddenly remembered how he had ridden a Happy Valley roller coaster with Zhou Bin back in high school. His neck felt like it would snap off, not to mention that feeling as if he would puke out all his internal organs, it really couldn’t get better…… 

  lMUK2c

    But Reece had been serious. They went to the roller coaster and lined up together. Nie Chuan was already very nervous before even getting on. 

 

    “If you’re scared then we can ride the Dumbo.”

  r9dye

    Nie Chuan turned and glanced at the Dumbo ride that was meant for little kids. Almost all the adults riding it were there to accompany their children…… Nie Chuan was somewhat stimulated by Reece.

 

    “Fine, I’ll go ride the Dumbo, you can ride the roller coaster. Bye bye!”

  c4zNgE

    Nie Chuan was about to turn around when Reece hooked the back of his collar. 

 

    “It’s rare for you to get angry.”

  fkMITl

    Nonsense, did you think I didn’t have a temper?

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

    “Ah, we’re up.”

  NSFowx

    Like this, Nie Chuan was dragged onto the roller coaster by Reece. 

 

    As the safety bar slowly descended, Nie Chuan’s heart rate began to accelerate.

  EuvlKs

    While he grasped both ends of the safety bar with both hands, Reece calmly leaned back in the seat and turned to look at Nie Chuan.

 

    “You won’t throw up, will you?”

  zdSU32

    “……How is that possible?”

 

    It’s actually very possible ah! Last time he and Zhou Bin were at Happy Valley, they vomited severely! 

  Ezqap2

    “Anything is possible,” Reece said coolly.

 

    The roller coaster moved slowly. Nie Chuan gulped, knowing that it might accelerate at any time. 

  CVG5By

    When it rose to a certain height, it abruptly plunged.

    Nie Chuan closed his eyes tightly. In his ears were the sound of screams yet he held his breath and couldn’t even shout.

  i2exUI

    Reece’s voice came through the whistling wind.

 

    “Your face is all wrinkled.”

  zJI3xQ

    Just because this guy was still calm and composed, he couldn’t be scared?

 

    Nie Chuan only opened his eyes and looked for a moment: the sky had flipped, the world was changing/spinning rapidly, and his organs felt like they would get thrown out. 

  MrE5Qs

    This was even more exaggerated than that last time at Happy Valley ah

 

    How has it not reached the end yet ah!

  9sIE3Z

    Quickly end ah

 

    Nie Chuan’s hands were ice-cold from being blown by the wind.

  4zXTY9

    Then, something warm covered the back of his hand and his fingers got forcefully separated and stubbornly pulled away from the safety bar.

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

    Nie Chuan realized that it was Reece’s hand, his fingers tightly interlaced with Nie Chuan’s and held tightly.

  bcyHju

    The feeling of the world spinning was replaced by the touch in that moment. 

 

    Reece’s grip was very strong, Nie Chuan even felt as if his bones would get crushed by the other. 

  27dsFk

    Finally, the roller coaster reached the end and the screams gradually died down. 

 

    As the safety bar lifted, Nie Chuan let out a long breath. Only then did Reece’s fingers slowly let go.

  F7yso3

    “Ah, your face is back to normal.”

 

    Reece’s cold voice brought Nie Chuan back to reality.

  M0kpnD

    “My face has always been normal!”

 

    “What a pity, and here I thought I’d get to see you throw up into the sky.”

  BxzA1n

    Reece stepped out with his long legs. Before Nie Chuan even got up, he had already stepped over him. He walked very leisurely, it was completely different from the many people who needed to squat down to adjust their orientation or simply couldn’t walk in a straight line. 

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

    Nie Chuan couldn’t help feeling depressed, Reece must have practiced by riding the roller coaster many times!

  suOfMk

    Nie Chuan quickly followed after him. He ran a couple steps and found that he wasn’t feeling dizzy. In fact, he even seemed to be walking in a straight line! 

 

    “Eh! I actually don’t feel like throwing up!” Nie Chuan let out a sigh of relief.

  k5mgv9

    Reece turned around and pressed on Nie Chuan’s forehead. “Do you know why children are prone to motion sickness?”

 

    “Are you trying to say that I’m a kid? And I already know the answer.” Nie Chuan waved Reece’s hand away unhappily.

  Yw6r m

    “Oh? What’s the answer?”

 

    “The fluid in children’s ears isn’t balanced.” 

  RPJoOr

    “Mmm, I’m really glad your ears are finally balanced.”

 

    “Hey! Would you feel unwell if you didn’t make fun of me every day!”

  UqZFks

    Nie Chuan really wanted to give Reece a good beating. 

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

    Reece slipped his hands into his pockets and spoke with a tone as if it was only natural, “That’s right.”

  lySYrG

    Just beating you wouldn’t be enough for me to vent! 

 

    “Let’s go, we’ll ride something relaxing.” Reece’s hand very naturally rested on Nie Chuan’s shoulder.

  KgjPkS

    At that moment, Nie Chuan found himself unable to be angry anymore. 

 

    Reece’s so-called ‘relaxing’ truly was very relaxing: they got on the ferris wheel. 

  gHtwnZ

    Through the glass pane, the entire beach of the amusement park could be seen as well as the tourists sunbathing on its shores.

 

    Beauties wearing bikinis were really too eye-catching! 

  XRd3gY

    On the Ferris wheel, if it wasn’t an entire family with children then it was pairs of lovers who were either being affectionate or taking selfies with their phones as a public display of affection.

 

    On the contrary, Nie Chuan and Reece sat across from each other, the style of painting appearing not quite right. 

  fHwqnD

    The glass isolated them from the noises outside and even the screams from the roller coaster were muffled as if it came from another world. 

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

    Reece propped his chin up and was looking outside when he suddenly asked, “Do you have any sentiments towards ferris wheels?”

  xK78nm

    “What sentiments?”

 

    “Such as kissing your lover in a ferris wheel and watching fireworks and whatnot.”

  FKb0nc

    “Ah? That’s only for girls ba. I haven’t really thought about it……”

 

    Nie Chuan shook his head then felt…… that it was possibly because he was too unromantic, that was why he was always rejected by girls? 

  6Z3N27

    “My father proposed to my mother in a ferris wheel. I heard that all the passenger compartments were filled with roses. She had always been a rational person but in that moment, she agreed without thinking about it. Later she said it was the most impulsive decision she had ever made in her life.”

 

    Reece’s voice was very tranquil, as if that had nothing to do with him.

  ZD8Wdn

    Of course it was unrelated to him. At that time, he hadn’t arrived in this world yet. 

 

    “But to love someone, if there isn’t even any impulse then it can’t be considered love ba,” Nie Chuan replied. 

  LP9714

    “Then what about you?” Reece looked at Nie Chuan, “What was the most impulsive thing you’ve ever done when you fell in love? Confessing?”

 

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

    At this time, Nie Chuan didn’t feel that Reece was ridiculing him for being “heartbroken 365 days a year.”

  yPQhAq

    He believed that Reece only wanted to chat with him in a quiet place. 

 

    “The most impulsive thing I’ve ever done is…… liking him even though I clearly know I wouldn’t be able to confess.”

  s0GWoO

    Nie Chuan purposely replied using Chinese, blurring the distinction between “him” and “her.”

 

    “Do you still like that person?” Reece asked.

  hKQVWX

    “That’s a secret, I’m not telling you,” Nie Chuan smiled. 


MadMadamMims: Cute!!! TELL. HIM. PLEASE. 

Drea: *demonic chanting* tell him tell him tell him

  1. Nie Chuan you fool!!! Tell him!!! Put us out of our misery!!! Reece has been so thirsty for you that he’s been play 4D chess just to find chances to eat your tofu!

  2. Hahaha of course you can’t confess to him because he’s supposed to be confessing to you

    Ahh when will reece realise that nie chun likes him too😜

    Thanks for the chapter❤❤

  3. I can’t tell if Reece will tease him, get super jealous, or figure it out. He probably won’t give up… right? This might be the first time Nie Chuan has an upper hand in the relationship. I actually want Nie Chuan to wait a little longer before telling Reece. I just think it would be fun to see Reece suffer a little bit after all the times he teased Nie Chuan. Thanks for the update!

  4. The cliffhangers in the novels always make me want to fling myself out a window 😭

    Kiss please

    Thanks for the chapter!!!
