Nie Chuan was embarrassed 囧. “What nonsense is that.”
At this time, a witch wearing black veil came to Nie Chuan and gently clinked glasses with him. The clear sound of the glass pulled Nie Chuan’s attention away from Zhou Bin.
The girl before him didn’t have horrifying heavy makeup like the others. Half of her face was hidden under the black veil, but Nie Chuan could still tell that she had very beautiful facial features.
“Hey, you should be careful of women when dressing yourself up like this or those ferocious ones will pounce all over you,” the other said teasingly.
“Lily? It’s you!” Nie Chuan made an expression of surprise.
He thought Lily would dress herself as some kind of elegant queen or vampire noble, he didn’t expect a gothic witch.
“How about it? Does it look good?” Lily winked and asked.
“Looking good, really…… special. It has a mysterious feeling, like it at least makes me want to lift your veil.”
“Then what about you? Dressing up like this, feeling the sight of other people……” Lily stood on her tiptoes and said in Nie Chuan’s ear, “They’re all looking at you.”
Nie Chuan’s heart suddenly restricted, “You…… don’t learn their nonsense!”
“Oh? They? So there’s other people talking about your sex appeal? Who?” Lily took Nie Chuan’s arm.
“No…… no one, just my friend making fun of me.” Nie Chuan turned around and found that Zhou Bin had already walked far away.
After Nie Chuan and Lily spoke a few words, he gradually realized that there really were people who kept looking at him, not just those previous girls, but also a few men who even raised eyebrows at Nie Chuan. Their eyes sliding from Nie Chuan’s shoulders all the way down his legs made Nie Chuan very uneasy.
“Do you think the clothes on my body are a little small?” Nie Chuan asked Lily in a low voice.
Lily laughed out loud and touched Nie Chuan’s waist. “It’s not small, it’s just right.”
“But…… it feels a little uncomfortable, I want to change out of it.”
“Alright, then I will accompany you out to change. After changing, let’s go elsewhere. There’s too many people here and it’s hard to hear.”
When Lily said this, Nie Chuan felt immediately relieved.
They made their way out of the hotel. As they walked, Nie Chuan could feel the surrounding people reveal similar feelings of regret and ambiguousness.
When he came out front, the cool night breeze caressed his face. Nie Chuan raised his head, took a deep breath, and finally felt alive again.
“Let’s go.” Lily dragged Nie Chuan into her sports car.
“Where are we going? Back to school?”
“Back to school?” Lily took off her black veil, “Of course not!”
As the car accelerated, her witch hat flew back with the wind, and Lily’s hair fluttered, flitting across Nie Chuan’s cheeks.
She played fast-paced music and the originally heavy atmosphere became more lively.
At this time, Reece, who was watching a movie in the dorm, suddenly received a message from Carlo: Cool, right?
There was also a photo attached to the message.
In the photo, Carlo was hugging a few pretty girls and assumed the gloomy look of a vampire earl. On the other side of the photo, Nie Chuan was turned sideways while holding a wine glass and was chatting with a masked waiter. From shoulders to waist, the lines of Nie Chuan’s body were very clearly defined.
Reece frowned slightly, and he immediately dialed Nie Chuan’s phone.

“Huh? We’re at Love & Love Hotel! Are you coming?”
“Where is Nie Chuan? Is he by you?”
“Eh, I didn’t see…… there’s too many people here, he was still chatting with Zhou Bin just now.”
“Where’s his phone?”
“Ah, he left it in my car!”
As soon as Carlo finished speaking, the line was hung up.
For some reason, Carlo felt his scalp tingle. Reece’s voice was so cold that even a fool could hear that he was a little unhappy.
Could it be because Allen accompanied him out for fun instead of accompanying Reece and Reece got more and more lonely so he became angry?
That can’t be blamed on Allen ah!
On a nice Halloween night, if you don’t come out to have fun then are you going to stay in the dormitory waiting for kids to come knocking on the door asking for candy?
When Lily’s car stopped at the front of a high-end hotel, she raised her chin at Nie Chuan. “Hey, we’re here.”
“Here?” Nie Chuan asked doubtfully.
“Yeah, let’s hurry and get your clothes changed. This hotel also provides a dress rental service. I’ll ask them to lend you a suit. I have another friend who held a masquerade ball here, the kind where you wear a mask that covers half the face.”
“Oh, those!”
As expected of Lily, the activities organized by her friends were all so high-end.
Lily brought Nie Chuan to a room, and it didn’t take long for a hotel server to deliver a suit.
Nie Chuan held the suit up to himself in the mirror. The width of the shoulders was just right, but the trousers seemed a little short.
Lily sat on the opposite bed, propping up her chin as she watched Nie Chuan: “I say, do you know why those people kept staring at you?”
“Huh?” Nie Chuan turned around.
“Because you’re sexy. Even I want to eat you up,” Lily said.
This was really the first time Nie Chuan was on the receiving end of lines that could only be heard in television dramas.
Lily slowly got up, came to Nie Chuan, hooked the suit he was holding in his hand, and tossed it to the floor. Her fingers touched Nie Chuan’s neckline, the smile on her lips gliding across the bottom of Nie Chuan’s heart. “Why don’t I help you take it off?”
“What?”
Following Lily’s footsteps, Nie Chuan also turned around. He retreated step by step until his calf pressed against the edge of the bed, then fell and sat down.
“Just let me eat you up now.” Lily stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked the corner of her lips.
Her eyes were full of smiles as if she was joking and playing around with Nie Chuan. With one leg straddled, she sat on Nie Chuan unhurriedly.
In that moment, Nie Chuan’s heart was about to jump out as there had never been a girl to seduce him like Lily.
Lily wrapped her arms around Nie Chuan’s neck and pushed him down.
Nie Chuan’s strength was obviously much greater than Lily’s, but in that moment he couldn’t seem to access it at all.
At that moment, Lily’s gaze was hazy with unconcealed adoration.
Nie Chuan’s eyes widened, his heart beating very quickly.
At that moment, Nie Chuan’s mind was full of the appearance of Reece sitting on his bedside every morning, rubbing his forehead and telling him to get up.
Until Lily slowly lowered her head, her breath soft and warm, Nie Chuan could even imagine the sensation of her heart-stirring lips on his own as well as the lingering feeling after kissing. He was afraid that it would be difficult to find a beautiful experience comparable to this in his life.
But just as she was about to kiss him, Nie Chuan suddenly braced Lily’s shoulder.
“Lily……I can’t accept you.” When Nie Chuan spoke these words, he didn’t feel any regret about his rejection. On the contrary, he felt a sort of relief.
Lily’s back froze. She looked at Nie Chuan with all kinds of surprise and embarrassment in her eyes.
“Why? Because of Celine?” Lily asked.
She tried to maintain her joking tone, even though her voice trembled.
“It’s not because of Celine.” Nie Chuan shook his head.
How much he wanted to tell someone who it was that he liked was how afraid he was that once one person knew, the whole world would know, and Reece would leave his sight without looking back.
“Then who is it?” The space between Lily’s eyebrows faintly scrunched up, “I’ve never been rejected by anyone, and I’ve also never been as serious about someone as I have been about you! If you don’t like me then just tell me directly……”
“Lily,” Nie Chuan looked into Lily’s eyes with a solemn gaze, and said word by word, “It’s because you’re serious about me that…… I can’t deceive you, I can’t exploit your goodwill. There really is a person that I really really like, even though I can’t tell you who that person is and I know that I might get heartbroken at any time, but…… my mind is full of that person. So…… please forgive me…… ”
“You said you might get heartbroken at any time, so why don’t you give it a try with me?”
Tears gathered in her eyes and Nie Chuan felt distressed.
He loosened Lily’s shoulders and hugged her.
“Because in my heart, you must be taken seriously. The person who gets you must treat you wholeheartedly and absolutely cannot tolerate existences other than you. No one can have the idea of ‘trying’ with you. If there really is someone like that, I’ll beat him up, even if that person is myself.”
Lily hugged Nie Chuan tightly and didn’t speak. She trembled slightly, trying to restrain herself from crying but she still cried loudly in the end.
“I really like you…… I paid attention to you for a long, long time…… You liked Celine so much, but Celine never took a good look at you…… But I know how good you are…… You’re so earnest and hardworking…… and you’re never been complacent just because of a bit of achievement like other guys! I like you so much! If she doesn’t like you, if you get heartbroken, when that happens, can you be with me?”
Nie Chuan closed his eyes and his heart trembled. This is really the first girl in the world to watch him so attentively.
“I want to cherish you, Lily. You aren’t my second choice, so don’t spend time waiting for me. If you do that then you aren’t cherishing yourself.”
Lily was buried in Nie Chuan’s arms. She clenched her fists and sobbed, “Then hold me seriously for a while. Just for a little while……I’ll try to control myself……I’ll try to like you a little less……”
Nie Chuan didn’t speak, but he hugged Lily harder and stroked her hair gently.
He really wanted to thank Lily. But “thank you” was too pale and superficial compared to Lily’s feelings.
At this time, a Land Rover suddenly stopped in front of the hotel and the harsh braking sound shocked the people who had just walked out.
The car door opened and Reece stepped out. He closed the door with a “bang——” and walked in briskly.
“That…… isn’t that Reece? How could he be here!”
As Reece walked into a clamorous party, the room full of witches, monsters, and zombies spotted him. They were all suppressed by the cold atmosphere radiating from him and scattered to the side one after another.
At this time, Carlo was chatting carefreely with a few girls when someone suddenly grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out.
“Damn—— who needs a beating……” But when Carlo saw who came, his jaw almost dropped.
Reece pushed him against the wall, the chill in his eyes made Carlo unable to swallow his saliva.
“Where is he?” Reece’s voice was suppressed very low.
“……Who?”
Faced with the high pressure released by the other, Carlo’s brain was blank, unable to think at all.
“Nie Chuan.”
“Ah…… I haven’t seen him for a while…… There were quite a few girls here who are interested in him, you don’t know how sexy he looks today……”
Reece suddenly raised Carlo’s front collar. Carlo was strangled by his bow tie until his face flushed, “I asked you, where is Nie Chuan!”
“I don’t know…… I really didn’t pay attention……”
Carlo thought, how did Nie Chuan provoke Reece? Sure enough, if you live in the same dormitory with Reece then something is bound to happen! Especially on a Halloween night like this!
“I know where Allen went.”
At this time, a girl wearing a white pettiskirt and gothic smokey makeup walked up to them.
Reece turned his face.
“You……seem to be Celine?” Carlo rubbed his chin, frowning as he tried to identify the other’s facial features.
Celine raised her head and said coolly, “Lily took him and left.”
“Where did they go?” Reece asked again.
“Reece, can you let Allen off today? What do you think Allen and Lily left to do?” Carlo looked at Reece with an unreasonable look.
“Where did they go?” Reece asked, looking into Celine’s eyes.
“Hey! Reece—— are you okay?” Carlo hugged his head, then spread his hands out in exasperation. “Their mood was so good, how could you go destroy it?”
“You’re the one who made him dress like that, aren’t you?” Reece’s gaze swept across Carlo like a sharp blade, and Carlo suddenly couldn’t speak.
“Waterfront Hotel. I can help you ask which room they’re in.” Celine’s voice was so calm that there was no ripple.
“Hey, have you gone crazy!” Carlo glared at Celine, then said clearly, “Oh! Is it because Allen liked you, but you didn’t like him! Now you see him with Lily, so you’re jealous and want to break them apart!”
Celine’s lips twitched and she chuckled. “Your imagination sure is rich. I just don’t want Lily to get hurt.”
MadMadamMims: Reece is on the warpath 😱 prepare yourself NC!
Drea: As abysmally low as NC’s EQ is, I can at least respect him for not tolerating keeping a spare tire to fall back on in terms of relationships

Nie Chuan is such a good guy. I can understand why Lily likes him. And as much as I dislike Celine, I respect her care for her friend. Reece… good luck. Don’t do anything that would damage your relationship with Nie Chuan. He’s pretty oblivious, but he gets embarrassed easily. Thanks for the update!
