Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

"You don't think that I'm some innocent good boy, do you?"

157 Love Yourself

Xia Ning's cheeks flushed, and at this moment her eyes were fixed on Lin Cheng, but her body was very weak. She took out her cell phone and said, "Wait, wait..."

"I'll wait." Lin Cheng took out a lollipop and put it in his mouth.

Xia Ning actually called Jiang Lingxue, and the call was connected within a few seconds. Xia Ning burst into tears almost within a second, and then she could be heard sobbing, "Ah, Ah Xue..."

"how?"

"Lin, Lin Cheng, when he sent me home... he touched, touched my chest... and he also said that I was disobedient and that he was going to punish me and spank me with a ruler..."

The voice really sounded pitiful, and the feeling of weakness, fear and helplessness were all reflected in it. Xia Ning looked at Lin Cheng with a sneer, raised her head, turned on the speakerphone, and soon Jiang Lingxue's voice came out.

"What about the others?"

"He, he was on my sofa, I, I secretly ran to the bathroom... He, he sent me back and refused to leave, I was so scared..."

"Strange." Jiang Lingxue muttered softly, and after a long while she said, "Then I'll give him a call and tell him to get back here."

Xia Ning answered timidly, "Okay," and Jiang Lingxue hung up the phone the next second. Xia Ning looked at the expressionless Lin Cheng with pride. Lin Cheng still had a lollipop in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What on earth is she so proud of?

Lin Cheng's phone rang soon. He picked it up and answered it, turning on the speakerphone. Jiang Lingxue's voice came out from it.

"Xia Ning told me... that you took advantage of her?" Jiang Lingxue's voice was tinged with confusion.

At this moment, Xia Ning suddenly felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what the problem was. Logically, Jiang Lingxue would be jealous and angry after knowing that he had feelings for her, right? She never lied to Jiang Lingxue, so the first lie would be very credible, and this guy didn't look loyal at all.

She wanted to see how Lin Cheng would explain, but after a moment she heard Lin Cheng's indifferent voice, "Yeah, I sent her home but she refused to leave, so I just carried her into the taxi and took advantage of her. She just got mad at me and I spanked her twice, and now she's crying secretly in the bathroom."

Lin Cheng continued to act in accordance with her words. Jiang Lingxue on the other end of the phone became even more confused, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, don't you believe me?"

"I don't believe it." Jiang Lingxue's voice was very sure, "You can't do such a thing."

"No, I really spanked her."

"I don't believe it. I think Xia Ning is drunk and having a seizure. When are you coming back? Grape and I have already taken a shower. Come back quickly."

"She didn't want me to leave."

"Why bother with her when she's already been sent home?"

"It's so pitiful."

"Her pity comes from her own greed. What's there to be pitiful about?"

"Yeah, but she seems to really like you, and you're so cold to her."

"Her love is just derived from her own fantasy. She fantasizes that I can fill the maternal love she lacks. At the same time, she is resentful because her father has been indifferent to her since she was a child. So when I was also indifferent to her, she transferred her desire for fatherly love to me. She doesn't really like women, she is just a puppy who lacks love. So it doesn't matter if I am a little cold to her. Anyway, if I am a little gentle to her, she will feel terrified. Besides, I am too lazy to be a gentle person. I don't need her love. Who would like a puppy who lacks love?"

Lin Cheng looked at Xia Ning in front of him, whose smile gradually disappeared. Now she looked like a real clown. He was silent for a while, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although I really want to laugh, it’s better to hold it back at this moment.

"Isn't that too cruel? Doesn't she help you clean the house and cook?"

"I told her I was lazy before we started renting together. She was the one who said she wanted to take care of it all and she enjoyed it. She was just flattering herself."

"This……"

Lin Cheng originally wanted to guide Jiang Lingxue to say something nice. After all, looking at Xia Ning's eyes now, she looked like she was going to jump off the rooftop in the next second.

"You don't want me to feel sorry for her, do you?" Jiang Lingxue's voice was full of amusement.

"Don't you think it's... a little bit miserable?"

"She brought this upon herself. I'm not the one hurting her. She's the one seeking a target to continue hurting her. She subconsciously knows that everything she does is meaningless, but this almost self-abuse feeling makes her feel safe. I brought you home a few days ago precisely because of this. I tried to make her realize that I'm not her salvation, nor will I give her the feedback and warmth she desires. The only one who can truly fill the void in her heart... is herself."

Lin Cheng was silent for a long time, and then he heard Jiang Lingxue ask, "Why aren't you talking?"

"No, I just suddenly realized that you have changed a lot in the past six months. You are not Jiang Lingxue, who are you? Give me back the Jiang Lingxue who only knows how to eat and wait for death!"

"This is the principle you taught me, Lin Cheng." Jiang Lingxue's voice suddenly became much gentler.

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"You took me in, spoiled me, and loved me. You kept me at home and accompanied me to do everything I liked. I thought I could live a carefree life with you, but you never told me that you loved me. Even when I moved out of the house, you never told me that you loved me... What were you thinking at that time? Did you want to teach me this truth? A person cannot live on the kindness and love of others. If you want to be loved, you must love yourself first."

"Hahaha, this is what I wanted to say in the beginning! You finally understood it!"

"...Go to hell." Jiang Lingxue said quietly, "At that time, I always wanted to fantasize about you suddenly telling me that you like me one day, but you never said it."

"Because at that time I felt that I couldn't bear the responsibility of your life for the rest of my life. If I said I liked you at that time, it would be like I would have to bear everything for you in the future. I always feel scared when I think about it, because you always put yourself in the position of a puppy. What I like is Jiang Lingxue, not a puppy who obeys its master in everything."

"So do you like me now? Lin Cheng."

"A little bit."

"Very good, I will make sure that you don't have a single drop left tonight." Jiang Lingxue's voice once again revealed a cold and weird smell.

"..." Lin Cheng was speechless. Jiang Lingxue said calmly, "So when will you come back?"

"Let me first make sure that this guy in front of me won't jump off the building..." Lin Cheng scratched his head, hung up the phone, and looked at Xia Ning in front of him, whose eyes seemed to be completely gray and without even a tear.

It's really miserable.

Lin Cheng squatted down and looked at Xia Ning in front of him. Xia Ning stopped talking and her pupils lost focus. Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, as if she had no reaction at all.

Lin Cheng was silent for a while, "How about you change your target? Although Hong Shao's rank is quite high, I think she seems to be having a lot of fun teasing you."

Xia Ning's eyes finally focused a little, and she looked at Lin Cheng in front of her, "What is your relationship with her?"

"My relationship with her is very complicated." Lin Cheng smiled helplessly, "She met me when she was alone and wandering outside. She was planning to die, but I took her back home. I lived with her for a year. We never said we liked each other, but we just accompanied each other silently. I always wanted to take her out to see the world, but she didn't like the outside world and thought everything in it was boring. Later, we had a disagreement and she moved out by herself."

"After she moved out, she chose to debut as an idol. She began to reconnect with the world and was no longer so desperate about it. We only recently got in touch again. I can't really explain the relationship between her and me. It's not that important whether we like and love each other. Like and love are symbols invented by humans. My relationship with her is probably more than just like and love. Sometimes I feel like we are like family. We quarrel and break up and get back together, but no matter what, we still think about each other in our hearts."

"So there's no point in you lying to her. She and I have never had any secrets."

"I'm so...envious." Xia Ning showed a self-deprecating smile.

"This is fate. Sometimes fate is indeed a wonderful thing, but I actually think what she said makes sense. Instead of seeking love in a morbid way, it is better to love yourself first."

"Love...yourself?"

"Yes." Lin Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand towards her. "How can someone suddenly come down from the sky to save you in this world? I have lived for twenty-one years and still haven't waited for that."

Xia Ning looked at her hand hanging in the air, her slightly pale lips moving slightly, "How... to love yourself?"

"Facing your past, doing what you like, and not caring about other people's opinions is loving yourself."

"That's so easy to say." Xia Ning slowly stretched out her hand and grasped Lin Cheng's hand, but her voice revealed a hint of awkward disdain.

"It can't get any worse, can it?"

Lin Cheng grabbed the girl's slightly cold hand, led her to the door of the room, and opened the door. "Okay, okay, go take a hot bath and go to bed. I should go back too."

"You want to play bubbles with Jiang Lingxue?"

"No, because of you, they have already finished their bath and there is no bubble making session." Lin Cheng tapped her head.

Xia Ning held her head in her hands and looked at him with dim eyes, "I take back my change of opinion of you just now. You are just a bastard who is playing with multiple women at the same time!"

"Hey, do you remember the last sentence of the three sentences I just said?"

Not caring about other people's opinions is also part of loving yourself.

Xia Ning was stunned, watching Lin Cheng's hand approaching her.

"I'm a bastard, what can you do to me?" He reached out and pinched Xia Ning's soft little face. After a few seconds, he withdrew his hand contentedly, grabbed the door handle, and gently closed the door for her.

158 Can We Still Kiss in the Future?

Lin Cheng returned to the door of the room on the second floor of the bar.

He slowly pushed open the door. Grape and Jiang Lingxue were lying together in the room. The two girls were comparing the size of their bears. The moment the door opened, both heads turned towards Lin Cheng.

Grape's eyes were innocent. In front of him, she seemed to have no concept of shame.

Jiang Lingxue was a person who used to run around the house naked, and she didn't even blush. She pointed to the bathroom on the side and said, "Go take a shower."

..............................

Lin Cheng came out after taking a shower. There was a space left for him in the middle of the bed. He began to feel a little uneasy for some reason. He went to the middle of the bed, moved a little and lay down.

Too indulgent.

Grape was wearing a white nightgown, with her legs smooth and white underneath the hem, while Jiang Lingxue was wearing a black nightgown, with her bare feet equally white underneath the hem. Strictly speaking, their figures were not similar. Grape was more symmetrical, with signs of exercise, while Jiang Lingxue was more slender, white, and young.

Jiang Lingxue raised her legs and placed them on him.

Grape followed suit and lifted her legs and placed them on his legs.

Lin Cheng's heart began to beat wildly. What would happen next? He was a little nervous. Did Jiang Lingxue teach Grape a bad lesson? He couldn't help but think wildly, but the next second Jiang Lingxue urged her energy to press the button to turn off the lights, and the room fell into darkness.

Jiang Lingxue adjusted to a more comfortable sleeping position, raised her legs and clamped him tightly, "Go to sleep."

Grape also fell asleep obediently, "Then I'll sleep too."

Lin Cheng, who was squeezed in the middle, looked at the ceiling. For some reason, even though he couldn't see Jiang Lingxue's expression, he seemed to hear her giggling. The two girls didn't say anything else. They closed their eyes and their breathing gradually became even.

Got played with.

Lin Cheng looked at the ceiling dimly, his vision was dark. He tried hard to reach out and touch Jiang Lingxue's legs, but his hands were tightly bound at this moment and he could not move at all.

....................................

Lin Cheng couldn't remember what time he fell asleep.

He remembered that he had been daydreaming for a long time, wondering if this was Jiang Lingxue's prank, and that after a while she would open her eyes, turn on the light and start hinting at him. But the fact was that the two girls beside him fell asleep soon, so he could only let his mind wander for a long time, and the key point was that he couldn't even move.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Cheng opened his eyes dazedly.

Jiang Lingxue beside him was already getting dressed, and Grape was still sleeping beside him. Jiang Lingxue glanced at him, reached out and rubbed his head, "I have an endorsement shoot to do today, bye?"

"Oh……"

Lin Cheng looked at her in a daze. She came close to him and kissed him on the cheek, then put on her clothes and walked out of the room. Lin Cheng looked at Grape beside him. Grape was still holding him obediently and sitting beside him. She was wearing a black nightgown with a V-neck, and her breasts were plump and tender under the neckline.

She was as well-behaved as a beautiful doll. Lin Cheng looked at her profile. Grape also turned her head. The two looked at each other for a while. Grape whispered, "Do you want to watch TV together?"

"OK."

So Lin Cheng stayed with her in the room and watched TV for the whole morning.

..........................................

Grapes are so well behaved.

She leaned against Lin Cheng obediently. Lin Cheng gently hugged her waist and smelled the light lily scent on her body. They were watching Tom and Jerry. At noon, Lin Cheng rubbed his stomach and looked at Grape. "Let's go eat something together?"

"Yeah." Grape nodded obediently, stood up and put on her dress. She pulled off the straps on her shoulders in front of Lin Cheng, but the straps did not slip off. She tried a little harder and the straps hanging on her chest finally passed through her waist, but they got stuck on her snow-white buttocks. She had to pull it again before the dress was completely taken off. Lin Cheng suddenly realized at this time that she was only wearing such a nightgown.

Grape picked up the clothes in the closet and put them on one by one as if no one was around. For a moment, Lin Cheng didn't know whether he should look at her or not. But it seemed that it didn't matter if he looked, so he just... looked at her as much as he could!

Grape turned her back to him and looked back, "Button."

So Lin Cheng walked over to her and buttoned her clothes. Then she took out a cherry pink cheongsam from the closet. The cheongsam was modified and well-cut. It did not reveal too much flesh, but it highlighted her figure. It had a slit at the calf and was embroidered with intricate patterns.

"Hmm? Very nice."

"Lizhi customized it for me." Grape said softly, then opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of high heels, sat on the bed and put them on carefully, then went to the dressing mirror and tied her hair. She had learned so many things. When Lin Cheng came back from washing up, she had already packed everything, came to his side, and gently held his arm.

..........................................

The two of them went to eat Japanese food together.

Lin Cheng, who was walking with Grape, attracted a lot of attention, probably because Grape had a cool temperament but an extremely pretty face. What's more, she was hugging Lin Cheng's arm. This action made Lin Cheng feel that they were not a couple in love, but rather an old married couple, with an inexplicable sense of harmony.

After having a full meal of Japanese food, Lin Cheng thought about it and decided to take Grape to the arcade to play games. He quickly taught Grape how to play some simple arcade games. The two of them sat there for a long time. Taking advantage of the cooler weather outside, Lin Cheng went to the park with her. After they got tired, they sat on a bench in the park.

There were not many people in the park. Grape took off her high heels and leaned sideways into Lin Cheng's arms, with her long, white legs resting on the other side of the bench. Lin Cheng gently hugged her and looked into her eyes, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Grape lay obediently on his legs with her eyes closed, her pink lips seemed to be slightly curled up.
