“Yeah?” Nie Chuan turned his head.

“The matches in the 64 team bracket won’t be as smooth sailing as today.”

“I know.” Nie Chuan’s expression became serious.

“Then, see you next time.”

Before Nie Chuan could react, Owen pinched his cheek again.

When Nie Chuan leaned back, Owen gave an unconcerned smile and turned to leave. Suddenly, Nie Chuan felt a chill on his back. He turned only to see Reece staring at him.

Irvin had still wanted to say something but Reece was already pulling the back of Nie Chuan’s collar and walking away from the court. “Get in the car, we’re going back.”

“Hey, Reece, can you stop being so unfriendly all the time?” Irvin spread out his hands and said.

Nie Chuan didn’t know if it was an illusion but he always felt that the people in the surroundings were all looking at him. Whether it was those reporters with their cameras or the basketball fans, their eyes when looking at him were completely different from before the match. Of course…… it may also be because the person pulling him was Reece.

Amidst countless eyes, the whole team got onto the bus.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

As usual, Reece sat in the back row by the window. Nie Chuan sat beside Reece as he had on their way here.

The bus began moving. It would take three hours to return to the school.

Reece propped up his chin as he looked out of the window and hardly spoke. Bored, Nie Chuan took out his phone and began playing games.

When they came to an intersection, the bus braked and Nie Chuan’s head flew forward.

But before his forehead hit the back of the seat in front, he was firmly caught by a palm.

It was Reece.

He didn’t know why but Nie Chuan felt very happy. When Reece’s palm left, his finger brushed against Nie Chuan’s cheek.

This seemingly inadvertent little action made Nie Chuan’s heart tremble.

At this time, Carlo suddenly turned around and said from the front row, “Hey, Reece! I’m out of data! I saw you have a hot spot turned on, what’s the password? Can you let me use it for a bit?”

Nie Chuan’s head went down. His data had long been used up on his games. The reason why Reece had his hot spot on was because of him.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“The password is the name of my favorite person. If you guess it right then go ahead and use it,” Reece said indifferently.

“Huh? The name of your favorite person? ” Carlo glanced at Ewing doubtfully. Ewing shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know.

Carlo frowned as he pondered for a while. He lowered his head and entered several passwords. He then turned back and said, “I tried! But they’re all wrong!”

Reece supported his chin and continued looking out the window with his eyes half opened. He looked a little sleepy, his whole body appeared comfortable and gentle. “Then you can’t use it.”

“What did you try?” Ewing asked curiously.

“I’ve tried Reece, Reddington, and Reece Reddington but they’re all wrong!”

“Reece said it’s the name of his favorite person. What are you doing using his name?” Ewing was speechless.

“Have you ever heard of Reece liking anyone?” Carlo asked.

“No.”

As the bus took a slight turn on the highway, Nie Chuan’s head tilted to one side before directly leaning against Zack’s shoulder beside him.

Zack had a good temperament. He glanced down at Nie Chuan’s sleeping appearance and chuckled in a low voice.

The next moment, Reece stretched his arm over from the other side. His palm winded around Nie Chuan’s neck and brought him back. Nie Chuan was pressed directly against Reece’s shoulder. He opened his eyes slightly and dazedly looked around, then went back to sleeping.

Zack had a cold sweat for Nie Chuan. This was the first time he saw Reece take the initiative to let someone sleep against his shoulder! Sure enough, to his roommate Nie Chuan, the treatment wasn’t the same at all!

Gradually, practically all the players on the bus who were playing on their phones or reading fell asleep.

When the bus returned to school, it was Coach Gordon who clapped his hands to wake everyone up.

Nie Chuan let out a “mm” and sat up. He looked to Reece beside him then realized that he had been leaning against the other for hours now!

He had slept comfortably but Reece’s shoulder was probably numb ba

Drea: Author, why must thou deprive us of the details??

MadMadamMims: Reece playing footsie under the table, haha! I can’t!
