A wave of applause rang out.
“Amazing! Allen, you’re so awesome! To actually be able to score so many points off Reece!” Carlo came forward and rubbed Nie Chuan’s head vigorously.
“Where am I awesome…… it’s just six points……” Nie Chuan felt even more unwell even though he was being comforted.
“Six points isn’t enough? I’ve been teammates with him for more than a year, and the highest record in a whole game was six points. You only played against him in one game and you already got six, don’t be too greedy!” Ewing pinched Nie Chuan’s face, “As a reward, Carlo and I will pay for your dental filling!”
“What? I didn’t say I’d treat Allen to a dental filling!” Carlo hurriedly shook his head, “It’s better to buy chocolate!”
Tooth fillings were so expensive, how unlucky for Ewing to think of that!
Nie Chuan lowered his head and kept replaying the scene of the match in his mind.
At this time, Reece came up to Nie Chuan, put his palm against the back of his head and pressed him into his chest.
In that moment, Nie Chuan heard a strong and powerful heartbeat from Reece.
“You only lost to me, so if you’re not reconciled then just win next time. If I let you beat me now, how lazy would you become?”
Reece’s voice was very soft, but everyone was stunned.
“I’m dreaming, right? Reece can comfort people too?” Zack mumbled.
Hearing Reece’s words, Nie Chuan let out a laugh and all of his unwillingness became motivation.
“I’ll let you have a good look next time.”
“Are you sure next time will be enough?”
Nie Chuan felt endless resentment! Next time I’ll beat the crap out of you!
At noon, Nie Chuan and Reece were eating burgers in the school cafeteria, and Nie Chuan ate three of them in one go. He leaned on the seat while rubbing his full stomach, subconsciously licking the empty alveolar with his tongue.
Reece glanced at him from across the table, “I’ve made an appointment with a dentist for you, we’ll be going later to get your tooth filled.”
“Fill my tooth? I haven’t saved enough money for that yet!” Nie Chuan made a ‘What should I do’ face.
“I’ll lend it to you first.” Reece made a ‘This doesn’t even count as a problem’ face.
“Lending again! The league is about to begin and I have practice on the weekends. I don’t have time to work at the pizzeria to pay you back!” Nie Chuan was distressed.
Nie Chuan, with his chin propped and his head tilted, was already in the mode of calculating how to pay back the money.
Reece chuckled, “Didn’t I tell you the shortcut to paying me back?”
“Ah? What did you tell me? Was it to buy stocks? Do you have any news?”
Reece crossed his arms and leaned forward in Nie Chuan’s direction, the smile on the corner of his lips was a little nasty. “If you use your hands, it’ll count as ten dollars each time. If you use your mouth, it’ll be twenty dollars. If it’s the back then it’s a hundred dollars.”
The female students who were peeking at Reece from a table not far away blushed instantly. They couldn’t hear what Reece was saying, but the sex appeal in his expression at that moment made it impossible to look directly at him.
Nie Chuan was sitting on pins and needles, while Reece maintained his position motionlessly.
A few seconds went by. Reece didn’t say a word and just stared at Nie Chuan. There was a buzzing sound in Nie Chuan’s ears as he looked at Reece’s self-confident smile. He didn’t know why he suddenly became bold, but he tilted his head and, imitating Reece, he also assumed a naughty expression, “Why don’t you let me kiss you and write off the thousand dollars in one go?”
The corners of Reece’s lips rose even more. “Kiss me right here in public if you have the guts.”
“Do you think I won’t?” Nie Chuan raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah, I don’t think you’d dare.” Reece picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, then knocked on the table. “Let’s put the trays away, we’ll go fill your tooth now.”

The moment Reece got up, Nie Chuan’s heart felt empty.

After getting in the car, Reece started the engine, but Nie Chuan still had his head lowered.
“What are you thinking about?” Reece turned the steering wheel calmly and drove out of the school gate.
“I was wondering, did you really think I’ll let you play around with me every time you make a bad joke? Careful, or I’ll embarrass you in public too!”
Nie Chuan didn’t bother to look at Reece’s expression and directly turned his head to look out the window even though there was no scenery outside.
“If you have the ability, I’ll give you all the cash in my wallet and you won’t need to pay it back.” Reece looked in the wing mirror on the right, his tone as if he didn’t put Nie Chuan in his eyes at all.
“What? You better mean what you say!” Nie Chuan was suddenly furious.
Are you the only one who makes fun of me?
Do you really think you’re so cool just because you’re a male god?
Did you really think that I’d have no ambition just because I don’t look that bright?
I YY you when I go to bed every night! Doing this and that with you! (tn: YY or 歪歪 means having “crooked” thoughts aka fantasizing doing the *ahem* stuff)
“Yeah, I mean what I say.”
The moment Reece turned his face, Nie Chuan suddenly leaned over and his lips made contact with Reece’s. His tongue recklessly and clumsily swept across Reece’s lips before hitting his teeth.
Reece’s eyes widened. In that moment, his hand left the steering wheel and he impulsively broke free from the shackles of reason. He forcefully met Nie Chuan’s tongue with his own and was on the verge of indulging in the moisture and warmth of Nie Chuan. Just as he was about to press on Nie Chuan’s shoulders, there was an old man crossing the road in front of them.
Reece’s heart felt as if it was about to fly out of his body. He quickly turned around, stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel.
The tires made a sharp sound on the ground and Nie Chuan, who had been pushed away by Reece, hit the glass window with a “thump——”
The old man took a few steps back and stopped steadily.
Reece parked on the side of the road and quickly got out of the car, “Sir, are you alright? I’m really sorry, do I need to take you to the hospital?”
The old man shook his head and said solemnly, “Young man, don’t be distracted while driving. I’m already old and I’ll be seeing God soon but you’re still young, understand?”
“Yes, I’ll bear that in mind. I’m really sorry.”
Reece walked back to the car, but Nie Chuan was still stunned.
He was in trouble, wasn’t he? He almost made Reece hit someone!
Reece will definitely dislike him!
At this time, the car door opened again and Reece stepped in. Nie Chuan felt extremely embarrassed.
“S-sorry…… I was just joking around……”
I almost made you run into someone but I’m actually calling it a “joke.” Nie chuan, what are you doing ah!
A few seconds passed, and Reece, who was sitting beside him, didn’t say a word.
Nie Chuan became nervous. The longer Reece remained silent, the more Nie Chuan tensed.
He didn’t dare look Reece in the eyes, only stealing glances at him from the corner of his eyes.
Reece’s fingers were clasped so tightly on the steering wheel that the joints of his fingers had turned white. Nie Chuan even worried that he would crush the steering wheel.
“So…… that was a joke to you just now, was it?”
Reece’s voice was terribly cold.
Nie Chuan explained incoherently, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean to make you almost hit someone! It’s because you used kisses to tease me twice already! I just wanted to take a bit of revenge on you this time……”
Nie Chuan! What nonsense are you saying! You dare mention “revenge” in front of Reece? You really have some lofty aspirations!
Oh my gosh! What do I do now? What should I do ah!
“So you kissed me, just for revenge?”
Reece’s voice dropped another octave.
“I…… I didn’t do it for revenge…… it’s because you said that if I really dared to kiss you, you’d give me all the cash in your wallet!”
I give up! What kind of excuse is this ah! Can’t you just apologize properly, Nie Chuan!
Nie Chuan was about to cry.
Reece reached his hand over and pinched Nie Chuan’s chin, forcing him to raise his face and look at him.
The pressure from his eyes seemed to penetrate every cell of Nie Chuan. Even the Reece on the court wasn’t this frightening.
“Which reason do you think is better; to retaliate against me or for the cash in my wallet?”
Nie Chuan’s jaw was about to get split by the other, it was so painful that he couldn’t even speak.
“One is shit-flavored chocolate, the other is chocolate-flavored shit, which one do you think is better?”
Reece loosened his hold on Nie Chuan’s jaw and gave him a chance to speak.
“Shit-flavored chocolate……” Nie Chuan answered without even thinking about it before immediately realizing that he was being foolish again.
“Oh, why?”
“Because…… no matter how disgusting the shit-flavored chocolate is, at least it’s still chocolate. No matter how sweet the chocolate-flavored shit is, it’s still shit……”
Nie Chuan knew that his understanding of things was always different from that of Reece.
But what could he do ah? Talking about chocolate and shit was still better than talking about almost running someone over just because of your own kiss ba?
Reece, who had been emitting intense pressure, suddenly laughed. He turned his face away and lowered his head, even his shoulders lightly trembled.
This was the first time Nie Chuan had seen him laugh. It was so natural that sunlight seemed to dance on his eyelashes.
“Hey, I say…… if you really want to retaliate against me then you should kiss me again because I’ve kissed you twice in total, once in the library and once in CBU’s bathroom.”
“What?”
Reece’s attitude changed so quickly that Nie Chuan couldn’t keep up.
“I’ll give you another chance to take revenge for the other time.” Reece reached his hands over, resting one against the car window and the other on the back of NIe Chuan’s seat, and leaned his face towards Nie Chuan.
As Reece got closer and closer, his facial features became so clear that Nie Chuan’s vision became messy.
Even his breath carried a seductive atmosphere, and Nie Chuan swallowed subconsciously.
“I’ll make you very comfortable……” Reece’s voice was very soft and drawn out.
His fingers seemed to provoke Nie Chuan’s nerves.
It was just that the word “comfortable” made Nie Chuan wake up in an instant. He pushed Reece abruptly. “Go make yourself comfortable! Quickly give me all the cash in your wallet!”
Reece lowered his head while maintaining his posture of half-hugging Nie Chuan, and laughed, “Are you still thinking about that?”
“Of course!”
Because that’s the excuse I can use to not get embarrassed further.
It’s the only explanation that won’t make you hate me.
Reece threw his wallet over. Nie Chuan caught it, opened it, and found that there were only a few bills inside.
Nie Chuan also looked in the pockets and found Reece’s many credit cards, VIP cards, and gym membership cards, but the total cash amounted to only about a hundred dollars.
“Hey! Where’s your money!”
“In my bank account,” Reece answered naturally.
“Damn!” Nie Chuan cursed softly in Chinese.
“And what I said at the time was ‘kiss me right here in public if you have the guts.’ The inside of this car doesn’t count as ‘in public’ now, does it?”
Nie Chuan paused. With this way of wording things, it really was a shame that Reece didn’t go be a lawyer!
“I’m giving it back to you!” Nie Chuan threw the wallet back into Reece’s arms.
Reece wasn’t angry and continued to drive.
Along the way, Nie Chuan didn’t speak and didn’t even look at Reece.
On the surface, he was still in a bad mood about Reece playing tricks on him but in actuality Nie Chuan was very clear about how sharp Reece was. He was afraid the other would see right through him.
Sitting in the waiting room, Nie Chuan lowered his head and browsed through the WeChats of his domestic circle of friends on his phone while Reece sat beside him.
“Hey, are you still angry?” Reece asked.
Nie Chuan really didn’t expect that Reece would be the one who broke the silence.
“Yeah, I’m angry.” Nie Chuan decided to make his attitude clear even if it was childish.
“Then I’ll tell you my PIN number.”
“I know, your birthday.” Nie Chuan said indifferently.
“It’s your birthday,” Reece said.
Nie Chuan paused, and the feeling of getting the hint made his heart beat faster. “Why use my birthday!”
“Your password is my name, so I reciprocated by using your birthday.”
Nie Chuan was taken aback. “How did you know my password is your name! You saw it!”
There was a sense of tension as if his biggest secret was about to be discovered.
“Ah? You really used my name?” Reece raised his eyebrows and leaned towards Nie Chuan, “I just thought that if I said your password was my name, you’d definitely explode and say ‘how could it possibly be your name,’ then say the actual password.”
Nie Chuan was speechless.
“I…… I just randomly set one…… setting it as my name is the same as not setting one at all so I just used your name……”
“I also randomly set a PIN number. Setting it as my own birthday is the same as not setting one. People wanting to use it would never expect that I’d use your birthday.” Reece deliberately imitated Nie Chuan’s tone, only there was a hint of teasing in his voice.
Who’d believe you used my birthday as the PIN!
Drea: So… poo-flavored chocolate or chocolate-flavored poo? Also, distracted driving is a big no no. Bad Nie Chuan, bad!
MadMadamMims: I’m choosing neither! But NC kissed Reece 😱 and with tongue! 😜
Nie Chuan you actual, absolute himbo, you took one step forward and three steps back 😭 why do you YY Reece in your head?? Baby, you can do it in reality, Reece straight up said he would pay you! If that man wasn’t there Reece would have 100% just pulled the car over immediately and gone for home base! Alas… thank you for the chapter!
Your comment is gold. It actually made me laugh out loud 😂 Thanks for the laugh and for reading!
Love is really eating away their brain cells, I’m– 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
Nie Chuan! This big baby! The password thing is so cuteeee. If Nie Chuan still refuses to believe that Reece might like him in the next chapter, then I’ll go be basketball.
Thanks for the Chapter!
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Finally, NC took the initiative
YAY!!!!
Thx for the chappy
I can’t tell if this is progress or not. Does Reece really think that Nie Chuan didn’t mean it? He’s got Reece’s name as his password! Although. Knowing Nie Chuan, that password isn’t very secure… if a kuss with tongue wasn’t enough to make their relationship clear, I wonder what it will take? Thanks for the update!
Anyways, I’m not sure if I’ve said it before but when reading novels, I usually say things like ‘Aw they are so cute together’, ‘they are definitely fit to get together’, ‘heheheh my son is bring me a son-in-law soon’ or something something, but as a self-claimed mother of Allen, instead of saying ‘My son and my future son-in-law are soo cute together’ I want to say, ‘I wish I was my son and marry Reece’.
Just….. why is Reece the perfect ML??? Why? Why? Why? Just why? And why do I like him so much? Why????? And Why is he a novel character?? Why couldn’t Reece be my childhood best friend from my hometown that I had to leave to go aboard and years later, he comes to my school as the new student and notices me and flirts with me and we become friends again and we find out that we’re childhood best friends and we fall in love and get married!?!?
Now that is prime real estate for a slice of life novel right there 👀 or maybe even drama, however you want it to play out
Both lol
Lololol Reece is getting what he deserves
