“Thank you.”

yCreb1

Just when Reece was opening the door to his car, there were the footsteps of someone quickly coming out (of the hotel).

“Reece, are you sure you want to go? Even if you go now, it might already be too late.”

hBJg9E

It was Zhou Bin.

He was still wearing the black cloak of death and in his hand was a mask. His gaze fell on Reece’s back, he was the first to ask Reece with a questioning tone.

lwpTuo

Reece didn’t get into the car but paused to look at Zhou Bin, his voice freezing, “This is what you’ve always wanted to see, isn’t it?”

Zhou Bin didn’t answer his question but said in a calm tone, “You’ve always used your own way of attracting his attention, letting him put you at the center of his world. Maybe others can’t see it but I can.”

WtLpus

“So?”

“So you should give him the right to choose. You just use your own charming points to attract him, which may be quite a novel and strong feeling, just like riding a roller coaster…… But it will reach its end sooner or later since there will inevitably be a day when it fades. He will look elsewhere, he will want to have other options, he will want more freedom. He won’t be willing to limit his world to just yours anymore! Rather than go that far, I’d rather he clearly see his choices now.”

Reece’s grip on the door grew tighter and tighter.

“I know Nie Chuan. He seems dumb and never knows what he wants but towards the things he doesn’t want, he absolutely wouldn’t put up with it. Do you have confidence in yourself? Reece, if he leaves one day without looking back, would you really be able to let him go? Or did you already know in your heart that a beautiful girl like Lily who sincerely appreciates him will be what really attracts Nie Chuan?”

Celine couldn’t understand Chinese. She didn’t know what Zhou Bin said, but Reece made an expression of silently enduring anger for the first time.

She grew anxious and feared that Reece would rush up the next second and make Zhou Bin’s blood spill on the spot.

URtKXm

“If he really does sleep with Lily, I won’t let you go.”

The air seemed to condense into sharp blades.

Reece got into his car and drove into the night.

On both sides of the car, the street lamps were rapidly falling back. As the car sped by, it lifted the pebbles and dust on the road like the wind.

ah8etX

A few young men and women walking along the curb were almost knocked over by his car, but he continued as if he didn’t see them.

A few minutes later, the car arrived in front of the Waterfront Hotel. Reece threw the key to the doorman and went to the elevator.

krlXbq

The elevator floor indicator stopped on the eighth floor then didn’t move anymore. Reece quickly turned around, rushed towards the staircase, and ran to the ninth floor in one breath.

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

G4dzXR

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

While he was standing outside the door, a waiter who was delivering supper walked by while pushing a dining car. He looked curiously and wondered about the handsome young man standing alone in the corridor.

tz6Fby

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

He seemed to choke a little in his throat.

TWcE4m

“Sir, are you alright?” The waiter asked.

Reece didn’t answer him. He walked quickly down the corridor and arrived in front of the elevator before forcefully pressing the button.

mr EUD

When the elevator door opened with a ding, a pair of young men and women were still lingering in it. They were the reason why the elevator kept stopping on one floor.

They were in full swing, completely unaware of Reece’s existence.

ofVUKZ

“Get out.” When Reece’s cold voice sounded, they turned their faces.

One of the boys wanted to lose his temper, but after seeing Reece’s tall figure and oppressive aura, he immediately let go of the girl in his arms and the two hurriedly walked out.

PnMjeG

Reece walked into the elevator, and the doors slowly closed.

He was the only one left in the entire space. He raised his face and clenched his fists tightly until red marks appeared on the palms of his hands.

qBV06E

The moment his fingers loosened slowly, something slipped from his eyes.

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

As he walked out of the hotel and got hit head-on by the chilly wind, Reece hugged his arms and retrieved his keys from the doorman.

At this time, the phone rang, showing Vivian’s name.

amLChU

Reece closed his eyes, and his breathing which had originally been suppressed in his chest gradually calmed down. After a long time passed, he answered the call just as the call was about to hang up.

“Hello my dear brother, Happy Halloween.”

dUdJK2

“Mm, thank you.” Reece’s voice was very calm, but it also seemed as if he was exerting himself to do so.

As Reece’s sister, Vivian was very perceptive. After pausing for a few seconds, she still asked, “What’s up? You’re unhappy about something.”

lakupE

“No, I’m fine.” Reece held the car key tightly in his hand. He wanted to use the key to turn on the ignition but found that he couldn’t insert it in.

“You’re not fine. What’s the matter? If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll immediately fly over from New York right now.” Vivian’s voice became colder, “You know I always keep my word.”

2dusPt

“I can control myself.”

“Reece, I’ll give you one minute. If you still refuse to tell me, I’ll book the ticket right away.”

h5g2BH

Reece lowered his head and braced himself on the steering wheel, his originally suppressed emotions shaken again under Vivian’s questioning.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“He…… was seeing a girl in a hotel.”

MJKOdF

On the other end of the phone, Vivian seemed stunned. It was a long time before she spoke, “You could stop him. There should be many reasons.”

“I wanted to kick that door open, but what happens after kicking it down? I thought about setting off the fire alarm, but even if I blocked him this time, there’d still be a next time. Like someone told me…… I should give him the power to choose…… just let him choose, it’s that simple.”

VG WYM

“I don’t know how to comfort you…… but you were right to do it this way.”

“Then no need to say anything, give me some space.”

HJ4M 7

Reece ended the call, and he threw his phone into the passenger seat.

That was where Nie Chuan often sat. Reece rolled up all the car windows, and his entire world became extremely quiet.

FHmNtP

Glancing at the Waterfront Hotel inadvertently, he lowered his eyes and laughed mockingly.

“I like you……”

REHhDL

“I really like you……”

“Why do I like you so much?”

WvElQq

Reece straightened his back, but the world before him was blurred.

He didn’t know how long he had been in the car.

FMh2d5

Maybe an hour, maybe two hours……

The phone that had been thrown on the passenger seat rang again.

Ju5dWl

Reece didn’t look and just sat quietly.

But after the ringing stopped, it rang again after several seconds. The other party called persistently, as if they wouldn’t give up unless he answered.

iGH Fm

After the phone rang a dozen more times, as if he had been infected by the other’s perseverance, Reece picked it up.

“Hello, this is Reece Reddington.”

HcI58W

“I know you’re Reece Reddington! By the way, where’d you run off to! Didn’t you say you wanted to stay in the dormitory to watch a movie? Why don’t I see you! If you’re still not coming back then I’ll lock the door!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Nie Chuan’s voice which passed through the phone carried deep dissatisfaction.

2YkBn9

Reece turned and looked at the windows on the ninth floor of the Waterfront Hotel that were still lit.

“Hello? Why aren’t you talking? Did your father’s villa get bombed again so you just rushed back to New York? You have to tell me if there’s anything urgent, otherwise……I’ll be worried……”

8Vw2tu

At this time, Nie Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his laptop.

He felt very depressed. He finally had a chance to sit back and relax, and returned to the dormitory but after waiting for Reece for a few hours, this guy still wasn’t here? Then what did he come back here for? He might as well have gone to that masquerade party with Lily!

r hz3R

“Where are you?” After a long time, Reece finally spoke.

“I’m in the dorm.” Nie Chuan’s voice was dull.

rGFvkW

“I’m coming back right now.”

“Huh? Then can you stop by the 24-hour pharmacy on your way back?”

lPWihC

“What’s wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?” Reece’s voice was a bit cold.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

So much so that Nie Chuan could even feel it through the phone.

7 ilXL

“Why are you asking me where it hurts?”

“The first time…… the front will also hurt.”

ddPcJQ

Reece’s voice sounded like ice that had been crushed to pieces to Nie Chuan. From his brain to his heart, he felt pain inexplicably.

“What do you mean the front will also hurt the first time……” Nie Chuan suddenly reacted and shouted, “Hey! What are you talking about! I have a rash! It’s those weird leather clothes Carlo chose for me! They were so tight and even made me have an allergic reaction! I’m so itchy…… buy me some ointment……”

MadMadamMims: Wow O_O my man Reece really testing his resolve, ZB my dude u are so harsh bro! But I feel you. It’s ok Reece’s going to apply some ointment to NC’s itchy P and they will be alright >< DngLe3

Drea: ZB is such a mother hen xD I appreciate how he’s looking out for his best friend but I feel kinda bad for Reece at the same time
