Strong Offense and Defense

But after Reese walked into the bathroom, Nie Chuan almost bumped his head against the coffee table.

Don't play tricks like this!

When Reese came out of the bathroom, he sat across from him and took the piece of paper, took a pen, and started to solve the problem.

His expression became more focused than before, and his posture of holding the pen was also aristocratic and elegant, which made Nie Chuan couldn't help watching.

Looking at it, Nie Chuan felt a little sleepy. He tilted his head and fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

In a daze, someone covered him with a blanket, and a soft pillow was stuffed under his head, and the lights dimmed.

The comfortable feeling made Nie Chuan slap his mouth and sleep more deeply.

A figure was sitting on the coffee table with one hand propped on the back of the sofa. He lowered his body and touched Nie Chuan's lips. The tip of his tongue gently slipped through the gap between Nie Chuan's lips and squeezed in.

Nie Chuan subconsciously pursed his lips, and pushed the tip of his tongue towards it.

The other party straightened his back quickly, froze in place, got up and left after a few seconds.

The next day, Nie Chuan was kicked awake.

"Get up, we have to complete 3000 meters today."

That unique cold voice woke Nie Chuan up instantly, and sat up from the sofa with a bang.

The blanket slipped off him, and he blinked to see the back of Reese walking into the bathroom.

How is Reese in his room?What about Zhou Bin?

Wait, this doesn't seem to be my student apartment?

Nie Chuan suddenly remembered that after arriving at Reese's place last night, he did not go home at all!

He actually slept in Reese's living room all night?

Quickly got up and left the sofa. Nie Chuan was thinking about how to say goodbye to Reese and leave here, when he heard Reese's voice from the bathroom: "Clean up the sofa."

Nie Chuan lowered his head, only to realize that someone had put a pillow where his head was, and the blanket had also fallen on the ground.

Did Reese prepare all these for him?He thought that with Elis' character, he would kick him awake and throw him out the door, or he would let him sleep on the sofa until his legs cramp, and then look at him coolly from a high place, and say "" Is this the consequence of not knowing how to take care of yourself” or something like that?

Rees was washing up. Nie Chuan hurriedly folded the blanket, turned around and saw the paper he handed him, which was filled with detailed problem-solving steps.This was the first time that Nie Chuan saw Reese's writing. Whether it was Arabic numerals or various mathematical symbols, they all had an elegant and rigorous temperament, but they were not rigid.Nie Chuan originally thought that even if Reese was willing to answer these few questions, he would save a lot of steps, but he didn't expect that he wrote it so carefully, as if he was afraid that others would not understand.

At this time, Reese had finished washing and came out. He looked at Nie Chuan and said lightly, "Do you know these questions?"

"Most...will do it."

"Isn't advanced mathematics a compulsory course for you?" Rees asked back.

The voice was not loud and the tone was not heavy, but Nie Chuan felt that it was very important.

"Ah... yes! But it should be fine for me to get a good grade."

Reese opened a bottle of mineral water casually, and took two sips on his back.Nie Chuan stared at his heaving Adam's apple, and secretly began to think: Do you need to pose for the poster early in the morning?

"You must know these topics. It is a compulsory type."

After Reese finished speaking, he entered the kitchen. Nie Chuan heard the sound of eggshells cracking beside the frying pan, and the aroma came.

Nie Chuan was a little hungry.

"Oh, got it! I'll take a closer look!"

"I'll give you 5 minutes to brush your teeth and wash your face. There's a cup in the bathroom."

ah?Reese even prepared a cup for him in the bathroom?This is fake, right?

When Nie Chuan came to the sink, the so-called cup was actually just a glass for drinking water, and there was a new toothbrush in the cup.

"Why is this toothbrush a little small?"

And it's in the shape of Spider-Man?Is it really okay to stick Spider-Man's head into your own mouth?

"I bought it for my nephew. Do you object again?"

Rees propped up the bathroom door with one hand and looked sideways at Nie Chuan.

"No objection! Thank you very much!"

Sorry, Spider-Man, just stick in my mouth and brush my teeth for me!

Reese's breakfast is just a simple sandwich, but it tastes really good.Nie Chuan ate one in two or three bites.

Reese pushed the milk forward, tapped the table with his fingers: "Drink it."

Although he didn't like milk that much, Nie Chuan knew that he needed calcium supplements, so he could only gulp down the milk.

Nie Chuan persisted in today's morning exercise to the end, and the amount of training in the afternoon was also in accordance with the original plan. Reese was a strict executor, and Nie Chuan could not do without a minute of practice.

After exercising in the gym, Nie Chuan followed Reese to the shower room.

The equipment in the shower room is very good. To be honest, Nie Chuan feels much better taking a shower here than in the student apartment.

He knew Reese was in the cubicle next to him.Fortunately, this place is not like the shower room of the high school boarding house, there is not even a baffle, otherwise Nie Chuan felt that he would never want to take a bath in the future after comparing his weak chicken figure with Reese's.

The gym that Rees brought him to seems to be relatively high-end, so not many people come to exercise.And at this time, there was no one there, and the shower room was empty, except for them, there were only two or three other people, and they came together to make jokes, other than that, there was only the sound of splashing water.

"Hey, Reese."

Nie Chuan always felt that since he came to the gym with Reese, he couldn't just say nothing.

"What's wrong."

Rees actually turned off the water, as if to hear Nie Chuan clearly.But in this way, everything became quieter, and it was even more embarrassing for Nie Chuan.

"Today is Friday."

"and then?"

Nie Chuan was about to cry, why did he make it so clear?Did Rees really not remember, or was he playing tricks on him again with a cold face?

"If you don't have time, I can ask the florist to deliver it."

"I will go."

Nie Chuan exhaled, and couldn't help but ordered: "I know you don't like to attend birthday parties, and you don't know Celine well, but please don't speak too harshly in front of Celine... …that was her birthday after all.”

Suddenly there was a knock on Nie Chuan's bathroom door.

"Who?"

"Open the door." Reese's voice came.

Only then did Nie Chuan realize that the sound of water next door had stopped long ago.

"I haven't worn them yet!"

"I told you to open the door." Reese's voice dropped an octave.

Nie Chuan hurriedly covered his little brother with one hand, and opened the door with the other.

Rees opened the door with such an aura that Nie Chuan couldn't resist, and walked in, Nie Chuan was so shocked that he backed away that even his little brother forgot to cover it.

"Did I say anything 'sharply' to you?"

Reese stared straight at Nie Chuan, crushing his nerves.Unlike Nie Chuan's no cover, Reese's waist was already covered with a towel, and the exposed upper body reminded Nie Chuan of Reese's pull-bar layup. To be able to complete such a layup, the waist must be very strong .

"No...no..."

At this moment, Nie Chuan couldn't think at all, and one of Reese's arms passed through his ear and pressed against the tiled wall behind him, and the distance between them got closer.Nie Chuan could clearly see the drops of water on his face sliding down his cheeks to his chin, it was so sexy as hell.

"Then why should you worry about 'sharp' things I'll say to Serene."

"I... I'm just worried that if she confesses to you, if you don't want to accept it, please refuse it tactfully, or it's better not to refuse on her birthday. That's all..."

What sharp is not sharp!Reese Reddington's existence was "sharp" to Nie Chuan!

"Euphemism and subtlety are your specialty, but I prefer to be straightforward."

Rees looked at Nie Chuan, and Nie Chuan subconsciously took another step back. His shoulder hit the shelf behind him, and something fell down.

Nie Chuan was about to cry, could he and Reese still talk properly?

"Well, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you think it's better to refuse directly and clearly, then just be clear..."

Nie Chuan tried to move away from between Reese's arms, but Reese had no intention of moving away.

The space was already small, but Rees was getting closer and closer to him, and Nie Chuan felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly.

"I... my soap fell..."

Nie Chuan indicated with his gaze the location of the soap on the ground.

"Do you want me to pick up soap for you?" Reese asked with a raised eyebrow.

He hadn't raised his eyebrows at Nie Chuan for a long time, and this moment made Nie Chuan tremble with fear.

"I pick it up myself... pick it up myself."

Nie Chuan squatted down, and just as his hand touched the soap, it was washed away by the water. Nie Chuan chased the soap around Rees, and finally picked it up.

Reese stood where he was, and Nie Chuan leaned against the corner of the wall and laughed dryly: "If you're done washing, why don't you wait for me outside?"

Reese smiled, and glanced down before leaving: "With your size, are you sure it can satisfy Celine?"

Nie Chuan's face turned red instantly.He forgot to cover his little brother just now!

I was young!At least my size is in normal proportion to my height!

Do you think you are great when you are older?Beware of being strangled!idiot!

"Oh, I forgot to say, besides your calves, your waist and butt are also very fascinating."

After speaking, Reese opened the door of the bathroom cubicle and walked out.

Nie Chuan crashed instantly.

What fantasies?

ah!ah!This guy must be learning from Carlo to tease him!unacceptable!

This is Reese's "sharpness", it doesn't give people face at all!

On Friday night, Celine and her friends had a party in a bar near the school.

Just when everyone was serving birthday cakes and preparing to blow out the candles, someone suddenly shouted: "Cerin! Cerin! It's Reese Reddington!"

"Who?" Celine turned around in surprise, and everyone looked in the direction of the door.

A slender and handsome figure in a light gray sweater and khaki slacks walked over with a bunch of flowers in his hand.

Celine's heart was beating fast, she reached out and grabbed the girl next to her, asking repeatedly: "Why did Reese come...he didn't come to me, he couldn't have come to me..."

Facing everyone's eyes, Reese walked up to her step by step.

When Reese looked into Celine's eyes, Celine's fingers clenched subconsciously. This was the first time she was looked at by Reese like this, as if she was the only one left in the world.

"Happy birthday."

Reese's voice was like chilled champagne. Celine opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

The girls around showed jealous and envious expressions, and Celine's heart beat fast.

It wasn't until the friend next to her lightly touched Celine's back that she came back to her senses and reached out to take the bouquet that Rees handed over.

There are no fiery red roses or pretentious pink marys. Celine thinks this elegant bouquet of flowers is really unique.

"Thank you, it's really beautiful."

"Nie Chuan picked it for you." Rees said flatly.

Celine froze for a moment, then hugged the flowers and smiled: "I'm already very happy if you can come and say 'Happy Birthday' to me!"

It doesn't matter who picks the flowers.

Serene, who was still angry with Nie Chuan, no longer blamed him at all.

"What about Nie Chuan? Didn't he come?" Celine's smile was filled with joy.

"I didn't let him come." Reese's voice was still calm.

"Huh? Why?"

"You want to know why?" Reese raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips sank slightly.

Few people saw Rees smiling, and this slight smile caught the attention of everyone present.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Celine subconsciously took a step forward.

Reese leaned down, approached her, and said in a voice that only Celine could hear: "Because I don't want him to continue to have unrealistic fantasies about you."

Celine's fingertips trembled: "What?"

"Because I like him."

Celine looked at the smile on Reese's lips, which was extremely charming in the eyes of others, but to her, it cruelly and sharply cut through all her expectations, all fantasies, everything was like a joke .

"Are you joking?"

Celine's mind went blank.

"What do you think?" Reese put his hands in his pockets and smiled comfortably in a leisurely manner.

"It's impossible...you...how could you like..."

"Shh." Reese raised a finger to his lips.

"It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible! You just don't like me, so you..." Tears welled up in Celine's eyes.

"Since you know this fact, don't waste time on me. Don't get close to Nie Chuan anymore, use him to get close to me."

Reese directly pierced Celine's purpose during this time, and Celine felt angry, annoyed and ashamed.

"It's a simple thing to like someone. Don't make it so complicated in the future."

Reese turned around and was about to leave, but Celine grabbed the hem of his clothes and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell others?"

"Okay, the more people you tell, the better."

Reese is not afraid of her telling anyone, because no one will believe that Reese, who has not been conquered so far, will like an ordinary Chinese student.After hearing this, others will definitely think that it was Celine who was rejected by Reese, so she maliciously smeared her.

Reese has already left, and everyone is surrounded by Celine. You ask each sentence, "What did Reese say to you?", "Why did Reese leave?"

Celine took a deep breath and smiled, "He has other things to do! Let's continue playing!"

At this moment, Nie Chuan was sitting on the bus going home, leaning his head against the window, wondering if Serene had received the flowers he sent.

He checked Celine's Facebook on his phone, and she had uploaded a picture of blowing out candles with everyone, and the bouquet was next to the cake.

Nie Chuan smiled, as long as the flowers are delivered.

He sent a text to Celine: Happy birthday.

What he didn't expect was that in just a few seconds, Celine replied to him: Thank you for choosing the flowers for me, and thank you for letting Reese send flowers. I am very happy.

It seemed that Celine was no longer angry with him, and Nie Chuan felt a lot more relaxed.He replied: Just be happy.

Celine: I'm curious, how did you convince Reese to send me flowers?

Nie Chuan touched his nose and replied with a smile: To be honest, I don't know how I persuaded him, but he suddenly agreed.

Celine lowered her head and looked at the phone. She typed a few lines and deleted them all.Finally, she pursed her lips and made up her mind to send a text message: Rees said he has someone he likes, do you know who it is?

Nie Chuan scratched his head and sighed helplessly. Is this how Reese rejected Celine?

Forget it, it's better to say that you have someone you like than to just say "I'm not interested in you" or "I don't like you at all".

Nie Chuan thought about it for a long time, and replied: He basically doesn't talk to me about his own affairs, we just practice together.

Celine: Well, I'm glad he's here anyway.I still have friends to greet, good night.

Back home, Nie Chuan ate a bowl of bone soup noodles made by his mother, and was forgiven by Serene. Nie Chuan felt that his life was much happier.

In the kitchen, my mother chattered while washing the dishes: "Xiao Chuan, Reece told me that he would come back to the city every Tuesday to Thursday afternoon, and if I had soup, he would come to get it. Doesn't he have to go to class?"

"Huh? Every Tuesday to Thursday?"

Even if Reese is a top student, he doesn't need to go to the library or participate in group projects, but doesn't he find it troublesome to run back and forth to the city?What's the matter?

"You don't know?" Mom turned her head, "I thought you two should have a good relationship, and he will tell you everything."

"No, he didn't tell me."

But... If Reese can bring him bone soup to school, no matter what he does in the city every week, Nie Chuan will feel that he is very lucky.

Get a good night's sleep tonight, I'm going to see Coach Gordon tomorrow.

Nie Chuan did a heel raising exercise before going to bed as usual, and massaged his legs himself.It's just that when his palm was pressed against him, what he inadvertently thought of was the temperature of Reese's hand slowly reaching under the towel.

"Oh my god, it's terrible."

Nie Chuan turned around, pulled the quilt, took out a bar of chocolate from the bedside table, and threw the paper bag on the bedside table after eating it.

"Xiao Chuan, don't eat candy before going to bed, do you understand?"

"Ok!"

Already finished.

The next morning, Nie Chuan got up and ate another bowl of bone soup noodles. Then, according to the address of Coach Gordon sent to him by Carlo, he came to the basketball court next to the apartment. Sure enough, he saw Gao Deng in a black suit. Coach Deng crossed his legs and crossed his arms on a bench by the court.

And Carlo is one-on-one with Reese!

This was the first time Nie Chuan saw the two of them duel.

Reese's actions are still sharp and decisive, and Carlo has changed his usual lazy posture. Every defense is very rigorous, like a net. No matter which direction Reese breaks through from, he can always catch Reese tightly at the last moment. Wait, this is the defensive ability that Nie Chuan didn't see in the last practice match.But Reese's control of inertia still allowed him to successfully throw off Carlo, and Carlo quickly caught up, jumping up to an astonishing height.

Carlo would be naive if that would get Garys hotpot.Sure enough, Reese changed the dunk to a one-handed shot, throwing the basketball from Carlo's arm to score.

When Carlo landed on the ground, he put his hands on his hips and sighed: "Ah-ah-you scored again!"

Coach Gordon applauded and patted Carlo on the shoulder and said: "But your ability to stick to defense has improved a lot. Reese's aerial balance ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people. So Carlo, when you face Reese For an opponent who always has back moves, the reaction must be more rapid."

"Yes, I see, Coach."

"In addition, cooperate more with Montenegro, you are the most powerful pillar of DK's basket."

"Yes, Coach."

Nie Chuan looked at them from a distance, and suddenly realized that not only was there a huge gap between himself and Reese, but also with Carlo.

Coach Gordon first saw Nie Chuan standing outside the court, and smiled at him: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you come over?"

Nie Chuan's heart was beating fast, and he came to Coach Gordon: "Hi, coach."

"Hmm." Coach Gordon inspected Nie Chuan from top to bottom, slowly showing a smile, "Alan, you are much stronger than the last time I saw you, you look like a member of a basketball team gone."

Nie Chuan smiled sheepishly.

Coach Gordon said to Carlo: "Today, Carlo, you will be Allen's partner trainer. I want to see how far Allen has progressed, and I can also test Reese's results. If the effect is not good, I will Consider switching Alan to another practice partner."

Nie Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that Reese is good enough.Who else could be as responsible as Reese?

But I didn't expect that Reese replied very plainly: "Yes, if the effect is not good, you can hand him over to Carlo."
