Strong Offense and Defense

After finishing speaking, Celine left the noisy area, stood outside the door and made a phone call: "Watermark Hotel? Hello, I'm Lily Winster's friend, I made an appointment with her to stay at your hotel We met at the hotel, but she didn't answer my call, can you tell her the hotel room number?"

A few seconds later, Celine turned to Reese, who was standing behind her, and said, "They're at 902."

"Thank you."

Just as Reese opened the car door, someone walked out quickly.

"Reese Reddington, are you sure you are going there? Even if you go now, it should be too late."

It's Zhou Bin.

He was still wearing the robe of the God of Death, holding the mask in his hand, and looked straight at Rees's back.He was the first to speak to Reese in a questioning tone.

Reese didn't get in the car, but looked at Zhou Bin, his voice was cool and cool: "This is what you've always wanted to see, right?"

Zhou Bin didn't answer his question, but said in a calm tone: "You have been using your own way to attract his attention and let him put the core of his world on you. Maybe others can't see it, but I am certain."

"so what?"

"So you should give him the power to choose. You just use your own charm to attract him. This feeling may be novel or powerful. It's like riding a roller coaster... But it will reach the end sooner or later, and there will always be One day it will fade. He'll look away, he'll want other options, he'll want more freedom, he won't be reconciled to confining his world to yours! Rather than go that far, I'd rather He now sees his options clearly."

Reese's hand clasped the door, getting tighter.

"I know Nie Chuan. He looks stupid and doesn't know what he wants. But he will never settle for what he doesn't want. Do you have confidence in yourself? Rees, think about it if you have One day he left you without looking back, can you really let him go? Or do you already know in your heart that a girl like Lily who is beautiful and truly admired is the one who will really attract Nie Chuan?"

Celine, who was standing aside, couldn't understand Chinese. She didn't know what Zhou Bin said, but for the first time, Reese showed a suppressed angry expression.

She became anxious, afraid that Reese would rush up in the next second and make Zhou Bin's blood splash on the spot.

"If he really slept with Lily, I won't let you go."

The air seemed to condense into sharp blades, pouring into Zhou Bin's eyes.

Reese got into the car, and the Land Rover sped off into the night.

On both sides of the car window are street lights that are crazily reversing. When it passed by, all the newspapers and sundries around the tires were taken up, as if it was about to tear off the wind.

Several young men and women walking by the side of the road were almost knocked down by his car, but he galloped like he didn't see it.

In just a few minutes, the car arrived at the Watermark Hotel. Reese threw the key to the doorman, and came to the elevator by himself.

The elevator stopped at the eighth floor, and Rees quickly turned around, rushed to the safe passage, and ran to the ninth floor in one breath.

He came to the door of 902 and raised his hand to knock on the door, but there was the creaking sound of the mattress shaking and the sound of heavy breathing from the door.

Reese's hands froze.

A few seconds, like centuries.

Wrinkles slowly formed between his frozen brows, and finally he chose to take a step back.

The world was terribly silent, and his eyes trembling slightly as he stared at the door.

He raised his hands to cover his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He stood outside the door, and the waiter who delivered supper pushed the dining car past, curiously looking at why this handsome young man stood alone in the corridor.

When he turned around and moved his hands away, his eyes were red.

There seemed to be a lump in his throat.

"Sir, are you all right?" the waiter asked.

Reese didn't answer him, but walked quickly in the corridor, came to the elevator, and pressed the button hard.

Just when the elevator opened the door with a sound, a young man and woman were lingering inside, which is why the elevator stopped on that floor just now.

They were in high spirits, completely unaware of Reese's presence.

"Get out." When Reese's cold voice sounded, they turned their faces sideways.

The boy wanted to lose his temper, but seeing Reese's tall figure and oppressive aura, he immediately let go of the girl in his arms, and the two walked out immediately.

Reese walked into the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.

He was the only one left in the whole space. He raised his face and clenched his fingers so hard that red marks appeared on his palms.

At the moment when his fingers were slowly released, something slipped from his eyes.

The elevator door opened, he wiped it away with his fingers, and slammed it to the ground.

Walking out of the hotel gate, the cold wind came oncoming, Reese hugged his arms, and retrieved the key from the doorman.

At this time, the phone rang, and Vivienne's name was displayed.

Reese closed his eyes, and the breath that he had suppressed in his chest gradually calmed down. A long time passed, and just when the phone was about to hang up, he connected the phone.

"Hey, my dear brother, Happy Halloween."

"Well, thank you." Reese's voice was calm, but it seemed to be very hard.

As Reese's older sister, Vivienne is very sensitive. After a pause of two seconds, she still asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine." Reese's hand tightly held the car key. He wanted to use the key to turn on the ignition, but found that he couldn't insert it no matter what.

"You're not good. What's the matter? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll fly over from New York right now." Vivienne's voice became cold, "You know I never say anything."

"I can control myself."

"Reese, I'll give you 1 minute. If you still refuse to tell me, I'll book the ticket immediately."

Reese lowered his head and supported the steering wheel. His originally suppressed emotions trembled again because of Vivienne's pressing questions.

"He... dated a girl in a certain hotel."

Vivian on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned, and said after a long time: "You can stop him, there should be many reasons."

"I wanted to kick that door open, but after that? I thought about pressing the fire alarm, but I stopped him. This time there will be another time. Like someone told me... I should give him the choice Power...and then let the choice, it's as simple as that."

"I don't know how to comfort you...but it's right for you to do so."

"So don't say anything, just let me be quiet for a while."

Reese put the phone down, and he threw it in the passenger seat.

That was the place where Nie Chuan often sat. Rees rolled up all the car windows, and the whole world became extremely quiet.

He glanced at the Watermark Hotel inadvertently, and he lowered his eyes and laughed at himself.

"I like you……"

"I really like you……"

"Why should I like you so much?"

Reese straightened his back, but the world in front of him was blurry.

He didn't know how long he sat in the car.

Maybe an hour, maybe two hours...

The phone that was thrown on the passenger seat rang again.

Reese didn't turn sideways to look at his phone, but just sat quietly.

But after the ringing stopped for more than ten seconds, it rang again.The other party was persistently calling his phone, as if he would not give up until he answered.

After the phone rang a dozen times, perhaps infected by the other party's perseverance, Reese picked up the phone.

"Hi, I'm Rhys Reddington."

"I know you're Rhys Reddington! By the way, where did you go! Didn't you say you wanted to stay in the dormitory and watch a movie? Why are you missing! If you don't come back, I will lock the door!"

Nie Chuan's voice came from the phone, full of deep dissatisfaction.

Rees turned his face sideways and looked at the window on the ninth floor of the Watermark Hotel, which was still lit.

"Hello? Why don't you talk? Did your father's villa get bombed again? So you rushed back to New York? You have to tell me about any urgent matters, otherwise...I'll be worried..."

At this time, Nie Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding the computer.

He felt very depressed, finally he had a chance to sit still, went back to the dormitory, waited for Reese for several hours, this guy is not in the dormitory?Then what are you doing running back?Why not go to that masquerade ball with Lily!

"Where are you?" After a long time, Rees finally spoke.

"I'm in the bedroom." Nie Chuan's voice was muffled.

"I'll be right back."

"Huh? Can you pass by the 24-hour pharmacy when you come back?"

"What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Reese's voice was a little cold.

Nie Chuan could feel it even through the phone.

"Why do you ask me where it hurts?"

"For the first time... the front will hurt too."

Reese's voice, to Nie Chuan's ears, was like crushed ice. From the brain to the heart, there was an inexplicable pain.

"The front will hurt even the first time..." Nie Chuan suddenly reacted and shouted, "Hey! What are you talking about! I have a rash due to allergies! It's all the leather clothes that Carlo chose for me. Let alone die, it made me allergic! I'm so itchy...buy me some ointment..."

Nie Chuan scratched his leg while hugging the computer.

"I'll go back now."

"Oh, good! Come back soon!"

Nie Chuan really wanted to say, buy me another hamburger, but felt that Reese's voice on the phone was too cold, and he didn't know why he was in a bad mood, so he was really embarrassed to ask for the extra request.

He threw the computer aside, pulled off his pants, lowered his head, and sure enough, a large rash had appeared on his thigh.

"Oh, it tickles me to death..."

Nie Chuan scratched and scratched again, but still couldn't relieve the itching.

At this moment, he really felt that it was a very wise thing to reject Lily. After all, if he scratched his itch halfway... wouldn't it be very frustrating?

Ten minutes later, the door of the dormitory opened, and Rees walked in, feeling a bit like wearing stars and wearing moons.

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

Leather pants and a leather jacket were thrown on the ground, and Rees stepped on them after taking two steps.

And Nie Chuan's pajama pants were hanging on his ankles, and he was crossing his legs and scratching the itch. The moment he saw Rees, his eyes were full of "saved".

"Where's my medicine! Give me quickly! Give me quickly! Look at my legs!" Nie Chuan opened his legs in front of Reese, pointing to a large red rash on the inside of his legs.

Reese came to his bed and threw the plastic bag in front of him.

Nie Chuan didn't care about his indifference and didn't even give a word of comfort. He quickly unscrewed the ointment and rubbed it on his allergic area.

The icy cold feeling made Nie Chuan breathe out.But he was still itchy, so he had to scratch with his hands again.

And Rees finally sat down, and grabbed Nie Chuan's wrist: "Don't grab it after applying the medicine."

Only then did Nie Chuan feel that his current state was really embarrassing.

He hurriedly put his open legs together, but Reese put one hand there first. Nie Chuan's knee hit Reese's arm and bounced away like an electric shock. Reese sat down in this posture .

"Hey! Where have you been?" Nie Chuan was very embarrassed. He moved his legs away and sat back to make room for Reese, but Reese continued to move forward, his palm still resting on Nie Chuan's knee. between.

In fact, when he left the Watermark Hotel, Nie Chuan was thinking that now he could go back and watch a movie with Rees.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, there was no one in the dormitory. He waited for a long time, but Reese didn't come back. The feeling of loneliness was really exhausting.He kept telling himself Reece would be back in a minute, and it took him a dozen or so VoIP calls before the guy answered.

"I went to the Watermark Hotel." Rees replied.

Nie Chuan was stunned. He looked at Rees and stammered: "You...what are you going to the Watermark Hotel for?"

"I'll go find you." Reese looked at Nie Chuan with scrutiny, as if he had seen through everything that Nie Chuan had experienced in that room.

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

"You... Do you know that I have been to the Watermark Hotel?" Nie Chuan found that he could not think, and he did not even speak through his brain.

But Rees asked Nie Chuan another question: "You and Lily, did you do it?"

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

"No."

Why are you asking me this question?Do you care?Or are you going to laugh at me that I can't even put Lily into my arms?

"Why didn't you do it with her?" Reese asked.

There was no expression on his face, no emotion showing.It seemed that all the feelings had been received by him where Nie Chuan could not find them.

This made Nie Chuan inexplicably terrified.

"Because... I..." Nie Chuan opened his mouth and found that he couldn't speak.

"Nie Chuan, you don't have to tell me the truth. But if you don't say what I want to hear this time, I will leave."

At that moment, Nie Chuan felt like an empty wine glass, and the person who drank him down just put him in the ice and snow.

"Leave...why?"

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

Time seemed to be cut off.

Just a moment ago, Reese was still discussing their future with him, either going to the NBA or looking for a job together, which made Nie Chuan full of expectations even though the future was uncertain at all.But at this moment, he said he was leaving?

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

Reese didn't answer Nie Chuan's question, but stretched out his hand to brush his bangs and touched his forehead.

With such a gentle gesture, Nie Chuan couldn't understand why Reese could say "leave"?

His breath gently brushed against Nie Chuan's lips, as if carrying a kind of forbearance, just lingering outside, suppressing and refusing to come in.

"Tell me, why didn't you have sex with Lily? I'll give you three chances, and if you don't say what I want to hear, I'll leave immediately."

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

"Is this... your new way to play tricks on me?" Nie Chuan's teeth trembled. For some reason, he had a hunch that what Rees said was true.

"I've never played tricks on you. It's just that you feel more comfortable treating them as my tricks." Reese's fingers gently twirled Nie Chuan's hair.

It's as if this is his last patience with him.

"Do you think it's okay to talk about leaving? Do you think it's fun?" Nie Chuan's eyes turned red.

It was as if he was choking his breath.

"I'm waiting for you to give me the answer I want to hear." Reese's expression was completely unmoved.

He knew that Nie Chuan was stabbed by his "leaving", but he was still as persistent as if he wanted to cut Nie Chuan open.

"I've got a rash! I'm itchy! There's no way I'm going to have sex with Lily! Are you satisfied? You can keep laughing at me! I'm a failure!"

It's okay to laugh at me however much you want, but stop saying you're leaving.

"That's not what I want to hear, you have two more chances."

Reese's voice was like a still sea, dark, with no light in sight.

"The person I like is not her. So I can't hug her. You can laugh at my naivety, or you can think I'm useless, but is it okay to stop here?"

Tears fell from the corners of Nie Chuan's eyes, and Rees' brows and eyes blurred.

Reese knew, he must have known.

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

After speaking, Reese found enough reasons to leave.

"This is not what I want to hear. There is one last time left. Answer me after you think about it."

What are you thinking about?

I can't think anymore...

I try so hard to get close to you, every minute and every second with you is extremely serious.

Even if my memory is really only seven seconds of a fish's, I can clearly remember every word you said and every expression you made.

I know I'm stupid, I don't control all my emotions well like you, so I was discovered by you, but I never thought of embarrassing you or messing up your life!

"Am I wrong?" Nie Chuan's eyebrows trembled violently, "I like you...so am I wrong?"

The entire space seemed to be flooded with the liquid in his own eyes.

He found it difficult to breathe.

"If I'm wrong...why do you appear in my world in such a conspicuous way?"

Nie Chuan roared out.

"Why do you want to show me the you that no one else has seen!"

Nie Chuan sat up suddenly. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he pushed Rees down and sat on him hard.

"Why do you want me to trust you so much! Make me depend on you! Why do you want me to feel that I am better than before after meeting you! Why are these all my faults! Why can you just say you want to leave!"

Nie Chuan's face flushed with tears.

He raised his hand and punched Reese hard in the face.

But Reese grabbed it.

"Yes, of course you are wrong."

Nie Chuan felt that he was really cracked, somewhere, the pain was so painful that he couldn't touch it.

"Because you kept me waiting for you too long."
