    Nie Chuan hugged his legs while on the computer.

    “I’m coming back now.”

    “Oh, okay! Come back soon!”

  ld1W5N

    Nie Chuan really wanted to tell him to buy another burger but he felt that Reece’s voice on the phone was too cold. He didn’t know why he was in a bad mood and was too embarrassed to mention the extra request.

 

    He threw the laptop aside, pulled down his pants, and lowered his head. Sure enough, a large red rash had formed on the inside of his thigh.

    “Ai, I’m itching to death……”

 

    Nie Chuan scratched it with his hands, then scratched again, but he still couldn’t get rid of the itch. 

  fesQWZ

    At this moment, he really felt that rejecting Lily was an extremely sensible thing. After all, if he had to scratch the itch after only doing it halfway…… wouldn’t that dampen the atmosphere?

 

    Ten minutes later, the door of the dormitory opened and Reece walked in with an air of having toiled from dawn to dusk. 

  L0M3Pn

    Nie Chuan could even smell the night breeze and dew on his body. 

 

    With the leather pants and jacket thrown on the ground, Reece only took a couple steps before he walked on them.

    Meanwhile, Nie Chuan’s pajama pants were hanging around his ankles as he scratched his itch with his legs crossed. The moment he saw Reece, his eyes lit up with an expression of “I’m saved!”

    “My ointment! Gimme gimme! Just look at my leg!” Nie Chuan opened his legs in front of Reece and pointed to the large red rash on the inside of his thigh.

    Reece came to his bedside and threw the plastic bag in front of him. 

 

    Nie Chuan didn’t haggle over how he didn’t even say a word of comfort. He quickly unscrewed the ointment and rubbed it on the area with the allergic reaction.

  dGC16p

    The cool feeling made Nie Chuan exhale. But it was still itchy, so he had the urge to scratch again.

 

    Reece finally sat down and stopped Nie Chuan’s hand. “Don’t scratch it anymore.”

  w1i4aN

    Nie Chuan felt that his current state was really embarrassing.

 

    He hurriedly brought his opened legs together, but Reece put a hand there first. Nie Chuan’s knee hit Reece’s hand before springing away like he was electrocuted while Reece sat down in that position

  dLvI0e

    “Hey! Where’d you go?” Nie Chuan was embarrassed. He moved his legs away and sat back to make room for Reece, but Reece continued to move forward, his palm still resting between Nie Chuan’s knees. 

 

    In fact, when he left Waterfront Hotel, Nie Chuan was thinking about how if he hurried back, he could still watch a movie with Reece.

    Who knew that as soon as he got back, there was no one in the dormitory. Even after waiting for a long time, Reece didn’t come back. The feeling of loneliness truly was bothersome. He kept telling himself that Reece would be back in a bit, but he had to make a dozen calls before that guy picked up.

    The intensity in his gaze made Nie Chuan want to escape, but his eyes attracted him deeply.

 

   “You…… you knew I went to the Waterfront Hotel?” Nie Chuan found that he couldn’t think and even words weren’t processing.

  1CDqgM

    But Reece just asked Nie Chuan another question, “You and Lily, did you do it?” 

 

    This was a question that Nie Chuan never dreamed that Reece would ask.

  A6DZij

    “No.”

 

    Why would you want to ask me this? Would you care? Or did you just want to mock me for not being able to do it even after Lily took the initiative to throw herself into my arms? 

  G9KHoQ

   “Why didn’t you do it with her?” Reece asked.  

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

    His face was expressionless and didn’t reveal the slightest hint of his mood. It was as if all his emotions were stored in a place that Nie Chuan couldn’t reach.

  NLhwGX

    This made Nie Chuan inexplicably terrified. 

 

    “Because…… I……” Nie Chuan opened his mouth but found himself struggling to speak.

  bB9dNg

    “Nie Chuan, you don’t have to tell me the truth. But this time, if what you say isn’t what I want to hear, I’ll leave.”

 

    At that moment, Nie Chuan felt like he was an emptied wine glass, having been conveniently left in a frozen world after that person drained him in one gulp.

  MQoT3U

    “Leave…… why?” 

 

    Nie Chuan’s brain completely lost the ability to think. 

  3C ltp

    Time seemed to have stopped.

 

    A moment ago, Reece was still discussing their future with him, about how they would either enter the NBA together or find work together which made Nie Chuan full of expectations for the future even if it was fundamentally uncertain. But now he said he’s leaving? 

  ThIDYf

    No matter what the reason was, Nie Chuan couldn’t accept it. 

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

    Reece didn’t answer Nie Chuan’s question and instead reached out to part his bangs and touched his forehead.

  HPJ6 T

    With such a gentle gesture, Nie Chuan couldn’t understand. Why would Reece say he wanted to “leave”? 

 

    His breath lightly brushed over Nie Chuan’s lips. As if bearing a kind of forbearance, it merely lingered outside, restrained and refusing to enter.

  opbOMk

    “Tell me, why didn’t you do it with Lily? I’ll give you three chances. If you don’t say what I want to hear then I’ll leave immediately.”

 

    Reece’s voice was very soft, and Nie Chuan suddenly couldn’t tell whether Reece was talking to him or talking to himself.

  zYXFqJ

    “Is this…… your newly invented way of playing tricks on me?” Nie Chuan’s lips trembled. He didn’t know why but he had a hunch that what Reece said was real. 

 

    “I have never played with you. You just feel more comfortable treating it as such.” Reece’s fingers gently twirled the ends of Nie Chuan’s hair. 

  Bz5oQ6

    It was as if this was his last bit of patience with him. 

 

    “Do you think leaving is something you can pay lip service to? Do you think it’s funny?” Nie Chuan’s eyes reddened.

  zrXd4t

    It was as if even his breath was pinched off. 

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

    “I’m waiting for you to give me the answer I want to hear.” Reece’s expression was completely unmoved. 

  DK6tBV

    He clearly knew that Nie Chuan was stabbed by his “leave” yet he was still obsessed as if he wanted to cut Nie Chuan apart. 

 

    “I got a rash! I was very itchy! I simply couldn’t do it with Lily! Are you satisfied? I failed to get it up! You can go ahead and laugh!”

  hBsYiy

    It doesn’t matter how you make fun of me, you can, just don’t say you’re leaving. 

 

    “This isn’t what I want to hear, you have two more chances.”

  sXcDQT

    Reece’s voice was like a calm sea; dark and without a trace of light. 

 

    “The person I like isn’t her so I can’t cherish her. You can make fun of my innocence or you can think I’m useless, but just stop at that, alright?”

  HRVGY5

    Tears fell from the corner of Nie Chuan’s eyes, and the sight of Reece’s eyebrows blurred. 

 

    Reece knows, he must know. 

  AmBUF

    So now he’s forcing him to say that answer.

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

    After saying it out loud, Reece would find enough grounds to leave.

  GiHOIV

    “This isn’t what I want to hear. There’s one more chance. You can answer me after you think about it.”

 

    Think about what?

  TUMHdS

    I already can’t think anymore……

 

    I tried so hard to get close to you, and I took every minute and every second of my time with you very seriously. 

  IMsu4P

    Even if I only have the seven second memory of a fish, I still remembered your every word and every expression clearly. 

 

    I know I’m stupid! I’m not like you, with all your emotions under control, so I got discovered but I never thought of making things embarrassing for you nor did I think about messing up your life! 

  koQLbY

    “Was I wrong?” Nie Chuan’s eyebrows trembled fiercely, “I like you…… so was I wrong?”

 

    The entire space seemed to have been submerged by the liquid in his eyes. 

  29lKYS

    Even breathing seemed to become difficult.

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

   “If I was wrong…… then why did you have to appear in my world in such a conspicuous way?”

  v6Ri0w

    Nie Chuan grew enraged.

 

    “Why did you have to let me see the you that no one else has seen before!”

  RMgwlW

    Nie Chuan sat up abruptly. He didn’t know where his strength came from but he pushed Reece down and sat on him fiercely. 

 

    “Why did you have to make me trust you so much and let me rely on you! Why did you have to make me feel like I became better than before after I met you! Why are all these my fault! Why can you just leave however you please!” 

  r0dQlc

    Nie Chuan’s face flushed and tears fell.

 

    He raised his hand to fiercely punch Reece in the face. 

  CNFe1

    But Reece grabbed it.

 

    “Yes, of course you were wrong.”

  PDfU2L

    Nie Chuan felt as if he really had been cut open and he didn’t even know where but it was so painful that he couldn’t touch it.

  6. Wow. Zhou Bin said that Reece couldn’t confess first, but did Reece have to make it so painful? And the whole time that Nie Chuan sat on Reece, it was such an intense scene, but I kept thinking that Nie Chuan didn’t have his pants on! Or at least, I don’t remember reading that he put his pants back on? Haha! Thanks for the update!
