On Sat.u.r.day morning, Nie Chuan woke up naturally in his own room. The soreness in his body has almost disappeared. He turned on his computer and watched a video while practicing dribbling in his room.
After taking a nap, he heard the voice of his mother coming from the living room, “Xiao Chuan! Xiao Chuan! Your cla.s.smate is here to pick you up! He said he"s taking you to some party?”
“Ah? Who?” When Nie Chuan walked into the living room, he saw Carlo sitting on the sofa wearing a casual dark blue suit. His legs were so long that Nie Chuan really wanted to break them.
The most terrible thing is that this guy who thought himself to be handsome is actually winking at Nie Chuan.
Mother Nie came to Nie Chuan"s side and whispered, “Your cla.s.smate is really good looking! Just like Jude Law!”
Nie Chuan made a 囧 expression. Carlo and Jude Law are far too different ba?
“Carlo, how did you find my home?”
“Zhou Bin told me.”
DaBin that traitor!
“Let"s go!”
“Where are we going?”
“Pool party!” Carlo has an expression of "you actually forgot this."
“I"m not going, I need to study.”
“It"ll be boring if you don"t go! Montenegro isn"t going, Reece isn"t going either. Do you want me and Ewing to beat each other up at the party?”
Nie Chuan: “…”
“I even prepared swimming trunks for you!” Carlo brought a package from behind him, opened it directly in front of Nie Chuan and his mother, and shook out a pair of black swimming trunks. “Not bad right? Originally, I wanted to give you one with little yellow ducks, but Ewing said you will definitely beat me!”
“I want to beat you right now.” Nie Chuan burst into flames, tearing open the swimming trunks.
“Let"s go!” Carlo whispered. “If you don"t go with me, I"ll stay here and have dinner with your mother!”
Seeing Mother Nie going to prepare dinner, Nie Chuan hurriedly shouted, "Mom - I"m going with my friend! You don"t have to cook my meal tonight!"
“Ah, you"re not eating at home?”
“Yes, not eating at home!”
Nie Chuan quickly pulled Carlo out of the house.
Carlo smiled like a weasel who stole and ate a chicken while driving.
“Were you worried that Reece will go to the pool party? Is that why you didn"t want to go.”
Nie Chuan didn"t answer.
“Don"t worry, Reece won"t go. If it was something like a seminar, then maybe he might be interested.” Carlo snapped his fingers. “Hey brother, college isn"t just thick books. You need to learn to enjoy life!”
Nie Chuan rolled his eyes at him.
But when Carlo took him to the address of the pool party, Nie Chuan was completely stunned.
This cheerleader of the basketball team seems to be a wealthy lady. Her father is a Wall Street wolf and they have a villa here.
Behind the villa is a huge swimming pool.
As soon as Nie Chuan approached, he heard loud rock music. In the air was the scent of food and beer.
By the edge of the pool, he saw a bunch of girls in bikinis walking around.
The band members, all wearing swimming trunks, were playing the guitar not far away.
“Isn"t it like the scenes on TV?” Carlo asked with a smile.
“Not really.” Nie Chuan"s eyes were opened wide.
“Where is it different?”
“There are no bunny girls.”
“I"m not watching the same show as you then,” Carlo concluded.
When Celine caught sight of Carlo, she came over with bottles of beer and handed one to him. “Hey, are you the only ones who came?”
“Ewing may come, but Montenegro and Reece won"t be coming." Carlo grabbed the beer and took a big drink.
Although Nie Chuan was not interested in beer, when Celine handed him a c.o.ke, his heart felt very depressed.
“Hey Allen, go have fun while you"re here today!”
With the swimming pool full of beauties in bikinis, none of whom were interested in him, Nie Chuan soon felt uninterested.
And Carlo was chatting with the girls from the cheerleading team animatedly, having completely forgotten Nie Chuan.
Nie Chuan cut a slice of cake and sat down in a corner, watching a group of people playing music and silly games. It was as if he became a person watching a movie.
After finishing the cake, Nie Chuan supported his chin with his hand, idly waiting for the end of this farce.
Suddenly, a piece of chocolate b.u.mped into Nie Chuan"s cheek. Nie Chuan looked up and saw that it was actually Reece.
He almost fell from his chair!
“You… how come you came?”
Reece didn"t answer him and just sat down in the opposite chair.
Night has fallen. The swimming pool became illuminated by bright lights but the place where Nie Chuan and Reece sat is in the shadows.
“You should have already known that an occasion like this is not for you.”
“Ah?”
“You can"t be wild, nor can you be loud.” Reece"s voice seems to penetrate through the scent of alcohol and sweets, and his words carried more truth than anything else Nie Chuan knew.
Reece didn"t wear swimming trunks in order to show off his figure like others nor did he try to attract girls with mermaid lines and abs.
He is wearing a sports jacket as always, with basketball shorts on his lower body. His legs were so long that they made people feel as if they can"t see the end. Especially those calves, which were long and straight. The lines of his muscles were very beautiful and seemed to be brewing an explosive force.
In Nie Chuan"s eyes at least, Reece in sportswear is more attractive than the wild boys wearing swimming trunks in the water.
Nie Chuan foolishly opened the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.
Reece didn"t say anything more.
Nie Chuan kept muttering in his heart, why did Reece show up?
“What are you saying?” Reece looked over.
“Nothing."
“Do you think I"m as stupid as Carlo?”
Why do you have to be so honest?
"Aren"t you also unable to be wild… and can"t be loud? So what are you doing here?” Nie Chuan asked.
Beat me if you have the ability ah!
The corners of Reece"s lips slowly rose. He leisurely pulls the zipper of his sports jacket and leans in Nie Chuan"s direction just like a beast in the dark, quiet and calm, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
“Who says I can"t be wild or loud?”
His tone rose slowly. It was clearly cold, as if it wanted to pull Nie Chuan"s nerves into silken threads.
“Give me the beer.”
“Ah?” Nie Chuan was so stunned that he couldn"t tell apart the four cardinal directions.
“Beer.”
Nie Chuan then realized that Reece was referring to the beer he had just picked up and placed next to him. He had wanted to say "That"s mine", but considering his own strength stats, he decided to just obediently offer up the beer.
Reece pried open the beer, raised his chin, and took a sip. The line of his neck when stretching was full of tension.
Although this corner is very inconspicuous, Reece has the ability to attract attention even when sitting in the shadows. Soon after, Lily, the host of the pool party, came over with a few sisters while carrying beer.
“Hey Reece! You came! Carlo said that you wouldn"t come! Why don"t you drink a bottle with everyone?”
Lily was very happy and Celine, who was beside Lily, was so overjoyed that she almost fell into Reece"s arms.
The picture is so beautiful that Nie Chuan didn"t dare see it.
“I"m driving so I don"t plan to drink. I"ll leave in a bit,” Reece said faintly.
Lily and the rest revealed a disappointed expression. They remained standing in front of Reece without any plans of leaving.
Soon, there was someone who was deeply dissatisfied.
Just looking at his figure, that guy should be a member of the basketball team. He came up to Reese with eyes full of hostility, “Hey, Reddington! I heard that you and Carlo found another layman to play point guard. Is that right?”
“You should ask Carlo.” Reece didn"t explain to the other person.
Carlo felt that the situation was not right. He quickly came over and stopped in front of Reece. Holding down the shoulder of the big guy, he said, “Hey, Peter, everyone is having fun today, let"s not spoil it!!”
Nie Chuan had a bad feeling. He turned and was planning to quietly leave the center of the storm when someone held down his shoulders.
It was Reece.
What are you holding me down for? If you"re going to fight, I won"t be able to provide any combat power at all.
Nie Chuan moved again. Reece lowered his voice, his sight falling coldly from a high place into Nie Chuan"s eyes. “Sit down.”
Nie Chuan didn"t dare move anymore.
The person named Peter finally looked at Nie Chuan, frowned, and asked in a strange voice, “The one that caught your eye won"t be this little thing, right?”
“Haha, it is! Peter, let me introduce you. This is Allen!” Carlo patted Nie Chuan"s shoulder without any foresight. “His ability to bring the ball past people is amazing. Montenegro can"t defend against him!”
Please stop talking!
What do you mean Montenegro can"t defend against me! Montenegro clearly *covered his hot pot three times! [T/N: covering hot pot = block]
“Are you kidding me? I tried so hard to get into the starting lineup and you guys want to kick me out by using such a funny monkey!” Peter"s expression at this moment can be described as rage.
The next moment, Nie Chuan"s collar was grabbed and the c.o.ke in his hand turned over.
“Hey! Hey! Calm down, Peter!” Carlo grabbed Peter"s wrist and put away the lazy smile on his face, even his eyes sank. His voice carried a strong warning. “You let him go.”
Peter smiled forcefully, snorted loudly, and loosened his grip on Nie Chuan"s collar.
Thank goodness!
Peter pointed at Nie Chuan and while looking at Carlo said word by word, “I don"t approve of him! I don"t approve of him! If he really gets into the team, I"ll let him know what h.e.l.l is!”
Nie Chuan gulped. In his mind he had already begun to imagine Peter beating him to death on the basketball court.
The people who were playing by the pool have also come to watch the excitement.
“Or you guys can come play a match.”
A calm voice suddenly cooled down the atmosphere that was about to reach the bursting point, but this is just the beginning of another explosion.
“What?” Nie Chuan was dumbfounded.
Because the person who spoke wasn"t just anyone, it was Reece Reddington.
“What did you say? Let me and this monkey?” Peter showed an incredulous expression. “Reddington, although you usually act all high and mighty, I thought you would at least have the most basic judgment! In your heart, I"m not as good as this monkey?”
Nie Chuan is speechless. Can you stop calling me “monkey” all the time?
Re: Yes Officer, that guy (Reece) right there. He"s the one who said he"s driving and shouldn"t drink yet still drank beer.
MadMadamMims: oof n.o.body calls wifey monkey!
