    When Nie Chuan returned to his dormitory and cheerfully opened the files in the USB drive, he almost sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the screen!

  

    What is this?

 

 

    Such a long training regimen is required every day?

  

    He wouldn’t be able to finish it even if the day was lengthened to 78 hours ah!

 

    What do you mean run three kilometers every morning? Would he even have the strength to go to class after running?

  

    Not to mention the jumping, passing, and shooting exercises as well as all kinds of exercises involving various fitness equipment……

 

    Nie Chuan leaned his head back just as Zhou Bin returned with a book in hand.

  

    “Ah Chuan, what’s the matter with you?”

 

    “The daily training plan that the coach of the basketball team made for me…… I think I can go to Mars…… it’s completely impossible.”

  

    “You joined their basketball team? But that’s DK’s basketball team!” Zhou Bin revealed an expression of disbelief, “I thought you’d get brushed off!”

 

    “Ha?” Nie Chuan looked at Zhou Bin, “Are you even my brother?”

  

    “There’s no helping it ah. Although DK has been declining a bit in recent years, last year’s results show a trend of recovery. They’ve sent quite a number of great players to the NBA ah!”

 

    “……”

  

    Zhou Bin put on his glasses, moved towards Nie Chuan’s computer screen, and squinted. “The training content is a bit harsh but it’s not completely impossible ah.”

    “What?”

  

    “The only required exercises are long distance running as well as jumping, passing, and shooting exercises.”

 

    “I need to shoot three hundred times!” Nie Chuan’s eyes widened.

  

    “Three hundred…… I seem to have heard that there are special shooting machines? I heard that it can let people make three hundred shots in 10 minutes, although it takes two seconds to make one shot. Isn’t that Ewing’s level? Otherwise, you can ask Carlo and others how they practice shooting?”

 

    “But these pull-ups and grip strength training……”

  

    “Isn’t there a sentence here that says picking two of these exercises every day would be fine? It’s just that they must all be covered by the end of the week.”

 

    Nie Chuan’s head came up to the screen. “You’re right ah! Who can see such small words?”

  

    Zhou Bin smiled helplessly.

 

    “But what if the coach really wanted you to do it like that?” 

  

    “Then I’ll have to brace myself and give it a try……” Nie Chuan sighed. 

 

    “Nie Chuan, I like the you right now.”

    “Why? Don’t tell me you’re……” Nie Chuan pretended to nervously hug himself.

 

    “Idiot. Haven’t you heard that serious men are the most attractive?”

  

    In order to cope with tomorrow’s “Principles of Communication”, Nie Chuan and Zhou Bin went to the library. Speaking of “Principles of Communications”, Nie Chuan was reminded of Reece. 

 

    This is Reece’s elective course ah.

    At nine o’clock, Nie Chuan returned alone to the dormitory with his laptop while Zhou Bin lingered behind with his girlfriend. 

 

    When Nie Chuan arrived at the door of the dorms, he saw Celine standing there as if waiting for someone. Nie Chuan vaguely felt that she had been waiting for him.

  

    “Hey, Celine.”

 

    Nie Chuan waved at her. Upon a closer look, he found that Celine was wearing light makeup. Light fell on her from above which made her look as if she would blend into the night.

  

    “You were studying?”

 

    “Were you waiting for me?” Nie Chuan deliberately winked.

  

    Celine nodded as she replied, “Yep, I was waiting for you.”

 

    “What’s up? Another pool party?” Nie Chuan asked as he leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. 

  

    Celine paused slightly then said, “It’s not a pool party, it’s my birthday party. Are you coming? There will be beer, Coke, and barbecue that was personally seasoned by my mom and can’t be eaten anywhere else.”

 

    Nie Chuan suddenly remembered how, after falling into the swimming pool and coming ashore that one time, Celine had came over with a towel but the towel had been given to Reece, not him. 

  

    “Just me?”

 

    “If possible, I hope you can invite everyone from the basketball team to come with you!” Celine revealed a big smile and was full of expectations. She should have heard about how Nie Chuan had been selected for DK’s basketball team. 

  

    Her feelings for Reece were never disguised.

 

    They weren’t superficial, but genuine. 

  

    “I’m actually not the focus of your birthday party. If you want to invite Reece, you can directly ask him yourself.”

 

    Nie Chuan didn’t know why but he especially wanted to destroy this kind of unrealistic expectation. 

  

    Sure enough, Celine paused again. 

 

    She understood that Nie Chuan had already seen through her. 

  

    Suddenly, she became misty-eyed; under the light, her eyes appeared very bright.

 

    “I know he never really put me in his eyes. I just want to get a little closer to the person I like, to get along for a little longer. I never thought about wanting him to respond to my feelings. If you’re not willing to help me invite him, then that’s fine. If you’re willing to come to my birthday party, I would also be very happy.”

  

    When she finished, Celine turned and strode away. 

 

    Nie Chuan took a deep breath and held his forehead. He didn’t know how he could have said those things. Maybe he just wanted to expose Celine to retaliate for how she had been overlooking him. 

  

    That night, Nie Chuan did an hour of lifting exercises as usual by stepping on a book with the soles of his feet before going to bed. 

 

    He suddenly thought of something before going to bed, got up, and opened the refrigerator again. 

  

    “Hey, Ah Chuan, what are you doing?” Zhou Bin asked while brushing his teeth.

    “I want to drink milk! I want to grow taller!”

  

    Zhou Bin helplessly rolled his eyes. “Can I give you some very serious advice?”

 

    “What advice?”

  

    “You better not drink milk before going to bed. According to my calculations on your biological clock, if you drink milk at 10pm, you will be getting up to pee at approximately 4:30 tomorrow morning.”

 

    “……”

  

    Nie Chuan put the milk back and directly went to bed.

 

    The next morning, while Nie Chuan was still in a daze, Zhou Bin kicked him. “Ah Chuan! Get up, Ah Chuan! Don’t you start your morning training today?”

  

    “En……” Nie Chuan turned over, intending to continue sleeping. 

 

    “Do you know who’s waiting for you downstairs?”

  

    “Who ah……”

 

    It it’s Carlo then let him wait for a bit longer……

  

    “It’s Reece Reddington!”

 

    This name made Nie Chuan abruptly roll out of bed and almost wet his pants in terror. He arrived by the window and, sure enough, saw a slender figure standing indifferently under the streetlamp. 

  

    “This can’t be!” Nie Chuan shouted.

    The shout seemed to have been heard by Reece. He slowly raised his head and hooked his finger at Nie Chuan, who was standing in front of the window with hair like a bird’s nest, and mouthed: ‘Come down’. 

  

    “What’s wrong?” Zhou Bin asked. 

 

    “Coach Gordon said that the person arranged to do training with me is……someone who is good-tempered, highly skilled, and has always taken good care of me ah!”

  

    Nie Chuan completely collapsed. 

 

    “Where did Coach Gordon see that Reece is good-tempered?”

  

    “En…… up until now I haven’t beaten you up yet. My temper must be really good ah.” Zhou Bin shrugged, “As for whether or not he takes good care of you, only you would know.”

 

    “Are you even my brother?”

  

    “It’s your brother who’s reminding you not to let Reece Reddington wait any longer.”

 

    Nie Chuan casually put on some exercise clothes and was about to go out when Zhou Bin pulled him back.

  

    “You should brush your teeth and wash your face then go out! Are you not scared that Reddington will flatten you the moment you start speaking!”

 

    Nie Chuan realized that Reece seemed to like cleanliness. He quickly rushed into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face then came downstairs like a whirlwind with his bird’s nest hair.

    In addition to the time he spent in bed, Reece seemed to have been waiting for him for nearly 20 minutes.

 

    “Hey, morning!”

  

    Morning my ass! 

 

    Reece didn’t look very angry as he raised Nie Chuan’s chin with a finger. 

  

    A pair of icy blue eyes instantly drowned Nie Chuan. 

 

    “I thought you were Cinderella preparing to go to the ball. You took so long yet I didn’t see you put on crystal shoes.”

  

    Even though Reece was smiling, Nie Chuan knew that he was absolutely mocking him! It was definitely mockery! Definitely, definitely mockery! 

 

    Nie Chuan gulped, wondering if this kind of Reece counted as being angry. 

  

    “Did you eat breakfast yet?”

 

    “Not yet……”

  

    “It’s good that you didn’t eat, otherwise it would have been eaten for nothing when you throw it up.”

 

    “……”

  

    Reece threw a Snickers to Nie Chuan. “Eat it to raise your blood sugar.”

 

    Nie Chuan quickly unwrapped it and stuffed it into his mouth.

  

    Reece turned around and raised an eyebrow. “Where’s your pedometer?”

 

    “Ah?”

  

    “So you don’t have one?”

 

    Nie Chuan shook his head. 

  

    Reece took off the sport watch on his wrist and put it on Nie Chuan. 

 

    “Look, when you start exercising, just press this button and it will start the smart count for your steps, calorie consumption, exercise time, and distance.”

  

    “Oh, good! I’ll buy a new one after class today and then return this to you.” Nie Chuan was a little overwhelmed.

 

    Reece gave him something of his own to use!

  

    “You’ve used it so just have it.”

 

    Reece turned around. 

  

    So that is to say, Reece dislikes him? That’s why he doesn’t want anything that had been used by him? 

 

    Nie Chuan suddenly felt as if he became a strand of E. coli……

  

    There were already many people on the school’s 400 meter track doing their morning runs, among which were members of the school’s track and field team.

 

    “You don’t need to worry about how long it’ll take, you just need to finish running.”

  

    Nie Chuan was about to cry. Finish? It’ll take seven and a half laps to finish three kilometers! 

 

    “If you can’t run then just walk. Wait until your breathing recovers before you continue to run.”

  

    Reece’s words were like a kind of amnesty to Nie Chuan!

 

    If he really can’t do it then he can just run for one kilometer and walk the other two! 

  

    Nie Chuan had only ran a dozen meters when he was already abandoned by Reece.

 

    His gait was larger than Nie Chuan and his steps were even and stable. One can tell at a glance that three kilometers is a piece of cake for him.

  

    When Nie Chuan finished the first lap, he still had strength. At least there was no need to prioritize speed!

    After finishing the second lap, he was really feeling a bit tired and took a couple more steps. Reece appeared to already be on his third lap. When his eyes coldly swept over him as he passed in front of him, Nie Chuan hurriedly abandoned the thought of fishing and obediently continued to run.

  

    Nie Chuan’s third lap ended. Just when Nie Chuan thought he could walk for half a lap as a break, Reece, who was already on the opposite side, turned and stared at him. 

 

    Nie Chuan almost cried. Didn’t he say that he could rest?
