Reece’s lips twitched. “You can’t hide secrets at all. You’ll get found out within two days.”
Then you try finding it ah!
Nie Chuan suddenly wondered, if he really confessed to Reece, what kind of expression would Reece have?
“So, would you want to do those types of romantic things in the Ferris wheel with your significant other?” Reece asked casually.
Nie Chuan tilted his head to think for a moment then shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
“Because it’s too expensive to fill a passenger compartment with roses?” Reece asked.
“Of course not. Because no matter how much two people love each other, it’s impossible not to live in this world. What’s the point of creating a two-person world in the passenger compartment? I’d rather walk on the beach with the person I like, feeling the sea breeze and basking in the sun.”
Reece smiled.
“Hey, what are you smiling at?” Nie Chuan knocked against Reece with his leg unhappily.
“Nothing.”
“Then why were you smiling?”
Nie Chuan had taken damage until he now suffered from delusions. As long as Reece smiled, he couldn’t help but suspect that the other was laughing at him.
“Because I also feel that what you said is pretty good. A passenger compartment full of roses can be bought with money, but if you still feel happy walking along the beach with the person you like, then you must definitely be in love.”
Reece’s smile was faint, but Nie Chuan had the urge to treasure it.
They spent the whole day at the amusement park. When they returned to Reece’s apartment, Nie Chuan began to pack up.
He was counting and found that there seemed to be a pair of underwear missing.
Nie Chuan glanced at the balcony and saw that the clothes had already been taken back in by Reece.
“Eh? I had another pair of underwear, where did it go?” Nie Chuan opened Reece’s wardrobe and found it folded into a square shape and pressed under Reece’s.
Reece suddenly walked over and looked at Nie Chuan with his head tilted. “What are you secretly going through my underwear for? I can’t see you having such a hobby.”
Nie Chuan was embarrassed. “That’s obviously my underwear that was put in with yours!”
He wanted to file a complaint against Reece for stealing his underwear!
“Then just leave it there. Next time you come and you forget to bring your underwear you have some to change into,” Reece laughed. “They’re so small.”
I really don’t want to be friends with you anymore!
This time, Reece booked him a ticket for nine o’clock in the morning, and the price was at least three times higher.
While Nie Chuan was lying on the bed browsing his phone, Reece flipped through the book his mother had left there and casually asked, “When you get back, there’ll still be two weeks left. What do you plan on doing?”
“Work part-time at a fast food restaurant to pay you back,” Nie Chuan said dully.
“Which fast food?” Reece asked curiously.
“Pizza Tycoon,” Nie Chuan replied.
“Their pizza is terrible. Are you the clerk in the front or making pizzas in the back?”
“The one in the back watching the oven.”

“Ycis akfinf vbiijgr jc tbeg, gluta?”
“Zww……”

“Zww.” P’ii olcjiis yf jyif ab qjs sbe yjmx!

“Don’t steal pizza.”
“How could I!”
Zhou Bin had said that if he smelled pizza every day, he would never want to eat pizza again.
“I’m worried you’ll get fired before you earn enough to pay me back.”
Nie Chuan pulled the blanket up to express that he didn’t want to talk to him any more.
The next morning, Nie Chuan was woken up by Reece. Reece had fried eggs for him and made sandwiches. At the thought that this was the last morning of their holiday together, Nie Chuan felt inexplicably lonely.
“Hey, what kind of face is that? Do the sandwiches smell funny?” Reece flicked at Nie Chuan’s forehead.
“Ah…… I was just thinking that it’ll be a long time before I get to eat this again, should I eat a little slower?”
Nie Chuan felt that this should count as a compliment towards Reece. Reece should be quite happy ba?
“Don’t tell me you still want me to make these for you in the future? How lazy.” Reece shook his head.
Eh, he didn’t expect to get disdained.
Reece drove Nie Chuan to the airport. He parked the car and accompanied Nie Chuan through the security check.
“Actually, I can go by myself.”
“I’m afraid you’ll somehow board a plane going abroad and end up flying to who knows where.”
Nie Chuan choked, “Am I that dumb?”
“Of course.”
Nie Chuan’s heart was desolate. He suddenly felt that if he asked Zhou Bin, he would get the same answer.
Reece really did send Nie Chuan all the way to the security checkpoint entrance. This was a place where people hugged before parting.
Nie Chuan really wanted to hug Reece, but Reece didn’t seem to have any intentions in this regard and only waved at him.
“See you at school. Don’t get too fat.”
“It’s just two weeks! How could I get fat!” Nie Chuan said discontentedly.
He stood in line to pass the security checkpoint and felt a little disappointed.
But when he looked back, he found that Reece was still standing in the same spot with his hands in his pockets.
The light in the airport was so bright that Reece seemed to stand in the clearest place within Nie Chuan’s field of vision.
He raised his chin at him, motioning for him to quickly go in.
Nie Chuan nodded and walked in.
Only when the plane finally took off did Reece turn to leave.
He received a text message from Vivian telling him that James had just bought a new villa and was inviting the siblings to have dinner together.
Reece called her back. “Is he sure the house won’t suddenly blow up while we’re eating?”
Vivian’s laughter sounded. “Of course it won’t. But he kept asking me what you’ve been doing these past two weeks.”
“How did you reply?”
“I said you’re chasing someone who’s very hard to catch and he immediately began bragging about how hard it was to chase our mother back then, but that he had conquered her with a Ferris wheel full of roses.”
“But now he’s dumped.”
“Haha, yeah. What would you say is the best way to truly catch another person?”
“Time.”
Vivian was stunned for a couple seconds, then said, “Why don’t you bring him to dinner today? I’m very curious about how dad will react.”
“No, I just sent him onto the plane.”
“That’s a pity, don’t you feel any impulse to make him stay?”
“Of course I do. I want to hug him tightly. But once I hug him, I’ll want to kiss him. Then he’ll probably feel terrified.”
At this time, Nie Chuan was already asleep on the plane with his head askew.
After returning, he really did go to the pizzeria to bake pizzas.
Every time he got off work, he would go to the community basketball court to play basketball with Mark and the others. Time passed quickly.
When he saved up the thousand dollars, he proudly returned it to Reece in a one-time transfer.
He quickly received a reply back from Reece: Want me to continue lending this to you?
Nie Chuan: I don’t need it!
Reece: What a pity, I enjoyed the feeling of being a creditor.
Nie Chuan suddenly didn’t know how to reply.
The semester finally began.
Nie Chuan was very excited, because not only could he see Reece, October also meant that the league tournament was about to begin.
When Nie Chuan returned to the dorm with his luggage in tow, Reece hadn’t arrived yet. He was in high spirits as he earnestly wiped down Reece’s bookcase, bedside table, and closet.
Nie Chuan felt that he had never loved cleanliness so much in his life.
We haven’t seen each other in two weeks, I wonder how Reece was now?
Aiyo…… it’s only been two weeks, of course Reece would still be the same……
Just when Nie Chuan was making his bed, the door opened and the sound of a suitcase being dragged in made Nie Chuan forget everything.
The moment he saw Reece, Nie Chuan’s eyes froze.
Reece’s hair had been cut a lot shorter. He seemed even sharper, his facial features more three-dimensional.
His eyes were already deep but this simple hairstyle made the contours of his eyes more distinct.
His whole demeanor revealed an elite temperament.
“Hey, what are you looking at?” Reece snapped his fingers, walking through Nie Chuan’s gaze towards his wardrobe.
“Oh, your new hairstyle is very good ah!” Nie Chuan quickly said something nice.
“I cut it myself.”
“Woah! That’s amazing! Cut mine too!”
Although they would have the same hairstyle, Nie Chuan felt that he wouldn’t be able to pull it off at all. While Reece looked elegant and classy, Nie Chuan would probably look like a ground beetle. (t/n: ground beetle is also slang for country bumpkin)
“You actually believe that I cut it by myself? How would I cut the back myself?” Reece turned to look at Nie Chuan, “It seems like your IQ hasn’t improved at all these two weeks.”
“……”
Nie Chuan was heartbroken. We finally meet up in the new semester, could you be a little nicer to me?
While Reece made his bed, Nie Chuan was still struggling with his quilt.
Reece watched but he didn’t have any intention of coming over to help. He seemed to enjoy Nie Chuan’s clumsiness.
With great difficulty, the quilt was finally set. Reece walked over and lifted his hand to pinch the end of Nie Chuan’s hair.
“Mmm, it does need cutting.”
“Haha, yeah, the bangs are getting a bit long.”
“I’ll help you cut it in a bit.”
“What?” Nie Chuan widened his eyes. “You know how to cut hair?”
“I only know one hairstyle.”
“What hairstyle?”
“Crew-cut.”
“I don’t want that! I’ll just go to the barbershop for a cut!”
The skill of the barbershop outside the school was nothing great but a crew cut was definitely out of the question!
“You don’t believe in my skill?” Reece raised an eyebrow, making Nie Chuan unable to tell whether he was playing tricks on him again or being serious.
“Then cut it for me……”
Inwardly, Nie Chuan shed tears. If it really was ugly, at worst he’d have to shave his head.
Drea: At least the in laws are aware of NC xD that’s progress
MadMadamMims: Reece’s playing hard to get here at the end but I have full confidence he will make sure NC looks super cute ^^
“Ugh.. my brain… I can feel a wrinkle forming on my silky smooth brain!! Reece, am I dying?!” — Nie Chuan, probably, when he finally gets a fucking clue.
My sweet brain dead baby, you even discovered him hoarding one pair of your underwear and you JUST LET IT SLIDE?! YOU LET HIM KEEP IT?! (╬ಠ益ಠ) NO WONDER YOU GET BULLIED BY REECE SO MUCH. You’re so lucky you’re cute!!
Where are my manners 👁👄👁?! As always, thank you for the chapter!
Lol! 😂
My Baby Nie is such a slow-witted one sigh! That’s why Reece can easily bully you~
Reece way of approaching is really inclined in my aesthetics he takes his time to make Nie Chuan fall harder from him hehe
Thanks for the chapter<3
Whoaa so reece decided to wait until his baby falls for him
Tftc ❤❤
👁👄👁
Excuse me what-
ok this is not a hate comment, I repeat, NOT A HATE COMMENT
Ok so first off you discovered that he stole your underwear….WHY on earth did you not care about THAT?!?!! I mean that’s literally your underwear in the hands of the person you supposedly like. One would probably be flustered right? But our baby here Was like eh wtever…WHY-
Thanks for the chapter~ Don’t mind my small rant~
No no I had the same reaction! I was wondering why NC didn’t uno reverse the comment about “hobbies” back to Reece 👁👄👁 Thanks for reading! Hopefully next chapter is less frustrating~
…all I can say is that they really suit each other. One is shameless. The other is completely oblivious. How did Reece stay so calm after being caught stealing Nie Chuan’s underwear? How did Nie Chuan not freak out? Just leave it there for next time?!?! Now why would Nie Chuan need underwear at Reece’s place? If he was going to visit he would bring his own? Unless… My mind is becoming as dirty as Reece’s. Nie Chuan just goes wherever Reece leads. I hope they do well in the upcoming basketball tournaments! Thanks for the update!
I really don’t like Reece making fun of Nie Chuan in every little thing he do😔😔😔
Oh well…
Thx for the chappy
(≡^∇^≡)
Yeah I can understand your sentiment 😔 don’t worry though, Reece will also have his sweet moments :3
