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

"Who's afraid of whom?"

So the two of them sat at the barbecue stall, drinking bottle after bottle of beer from one in the morning to five in the morning. Xia Ning lowered her head, feeling dizzy. Lin Cheng looked at his cup and asked, "Raising little goldfish?"

"No, no where?" Xia Ning raised the cup and drank what was in it. She slowly stood up and went to the toilet. When she came back, her eyes were red, probably because she vomited.

Lin Cheng brought her a bottle of ice water. Xia Ning rinsed her mouth. He and she walked out of the barbecue restaurant and into a hotel. Lin Cheng looked at the waitress at the front desk and said, "Open two rooms."

"Sir, please show me your ID."

Lin Cheng took out his ID card from his ear clip, but Xia Ning's eyes widened, "Why would someone go out with an ID card?"

"..." Lin Cheng was speechless, the corner of her mouth twitched. Without Xia Ning, she couldn't get a room. Lin Cheng thought for a while, "Then let's get a twin room."

Xia Ning didn't say anything in rebuttal. She went upstairs with Lin Cheng in a daze. The sky outside the window was already slightly bright. The glass of the bathroom was frosted. Lin Cheng was already lying on the bed ready to sleep. Xia Ning walked to the bed, put her hands behind her back, and said, "You... turn your head away."

"what?"

"I can't sleep without a shower, so don't peek."

"Isn't it through glass?"

"The outline... is also visible."

"There are so many things to do." Lin Cheng covered his head with the quilt, and Xia Ning's footsteps gradually faded away. Soon the sound of water came from the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom half an hour later. Lin Cheng fell asleep. She climbed onto another bed carefully. Her head was still dizzy. She didn't know why she followed him here, nor did she know what to do next, but she was so sleepy now, so she decided to take a nap first.

So she quickly fell asleep.

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

The next day.

"get up."

Lin Cheng's voice rang in Xia Ning's ears. Xia Ning tucked the quilt between her legs and opened her eyes dazedly. Lin Cheng was already dressed. She muttered, "I'll sleep a little longer."

"Then you can sleep slowly. I'm going fishing."

"Eh!"

Hearing Lin Cheng's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Xia Ning hurriedly got up and said, "Wait for me."

She pulled up the shoulder strap that had slipped off, and covered her chest with her other hand. Then Lin Cheng's eyes didn't even stay on her for half a second, showing no respect for her at all!

Xia Ning felt that her self-esteem was humiliated. She was so small and cute!

"Five minutes, no more waiting."

Lin Cheng turned his back to her.

Xia Ning began to take off her nightgown. She always felt weird because there was a man in front of her at the moment. In the closed room, her nightgown was quickly taken off by her. She was only wearing a white lace camisole on her porcelain white body. She was always worried that Lin Cheng would suddenly turn his head, and then she would be seen naked. Her heart was pounding when she thought of this, but Lin Cheng was too lazy to move. She put on her underwear carefully and slowly, and always felt... her body was trembling for some reason.

Xia Ning put on her clothes quickly, the same outfit she wore last night. Her white and clean calves were exposed under her hip skirt, and a corner of her white socks was visible from her ankles above her sneakers. Lin Cheng woke up and used his mobile phone to check the nearby fish ponds. The guy on the forum knew everything and had marked all the good places to fish. Lin Cheng first took Xia Ning to buy bait, and Xia Ning picked out a fishing rod by herself. His fishing rod was always kept in his ear clip, and he would take a good cast whenever he came across a good spot.

After everything was ready, Lin Cheng took her to the abandoned reservoir on the edge of the town. There was no one here, and the ground was full of pebbles. Lin Cheng found a good spot, and Xia Ning followed his example and cast the fishing hook. However, after waiting for more than half an hour, there was no movement. Gradually, Xia Ning felt a little bored, "Fishing is so boring."

"Because you have no patience."

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, but just looked at the water quietly. After another five or six minutes, ripples appeared on the water surface. It turned out to be a grass carp as thick as his forearm.

Xia Ning stared with eyes wide open, watching the fish jumping around. She excitedly took the fish off for Lin Cheng, not caring about the sticky hands. She put the fish into the water net she brought. She began to stare at her fishing rod carefully. After more than ten minutes, her fishing rod moved, but because she was in a hurry, the fish escaped.

Xia Ning didn't complain. She puffed up her cheeks and continued to look at the water. A few minutes later, ripples appeared on the water again. This time she was a little calmer, and finally a small crucian carp the size of a palm was caught by her.

She smiled from ear to ear, put the fish into the water net, sat on the bluestone, supported her cheeks with her white and tender hands, and looked at the water with anticipation. She no longer felt that fishing was boring.

They didn't say anything, and time seemed to pass slowly and inadvertently. Xia Ning didn't take out her phone to look at it, but just looked at the water, feeling the wind, and the traces of thick fog in the distant mountains and forests. The world seemed to have become extremely quiet.

They sat in the reservoir for four hours and finally caught six fish. Lin Cheng put away the fishing rod, looked at the grass carp in the net, picked out the two fattest ones and released the others. Lin Cheng took out the barbecue grill from his ear clip, directed Xia Ning to make a fire, while he sat by the pool and killed the fish.

"How much space do your ear clips have?" Xia Ning couldn't help but ask.

Generally speaking, the space rings distributed by the alliance only have 3 cubic meters of space, but Xia Ning was amazed by Lin Cheng's ear clips that seemed to be filled with a lot of things.

"It's a few hundred square meters, so it's sometimes difficult to find things."

Xia Ning took a lot of effort to light the fire, while Lin Cheng began to cut and oil the grilled fish and spread out a picnic blanket. In the past, the fruit shop sometimes had outings during team building activities, and he happened to have everything he brought from the last team building activity with him, including bowls, chopsticks, picnic blanket, and grill. The two fish were quickly grilled. Xia Ning looked at the grilled fish sizzling with oil and with a crispy crust, and suddenly felt very hungry.

"So why do we come here to grill fish?" Xia Ning asked vaguely while eating.

"Because the woman who sent me the photo of her white silk legs ignored me, Yuyu, I came out to relax." Lin Cheng took a big bite of the grilled fish, "If I stay in City A, I might not be able to resist going to find her."

"You grilled fish... it's delicious."

Xia Ning's mouth was full of oil as she ate, which made her look a little funny. She crossed her white and tender legs, no longer as elegantly as she had yesterday, and looked a lot more casual. Lin Cheng finished eating quickly, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and handed it to Xia Ning.

Xia Ning wiped her lips and looked at Lin Cheng expectantly, "What are we going to do this afternoon?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know." She answered again.

"Then let's go to the mountains to catch snakes."

"Eh?!" Xia Ning's eyes widened, "Is this a normal entertainment activity?"

"It costs several dozen yuan a piece."

“I’m afraid of snakes.”

"Then follow me."

"What if I get bitten?"

"I'll take you to the hospital."

"Can't we try some other entertainment?"

"Then think about it."

Xia Ning thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, she followed Lin Cheng to climb the mountain. There were big mountains nearby. Her white shoes soon turned yellow and her calves were cut by sharp thorns. The weather was not so hot, but icy. Lin Cheng had a breathable net on him and threw any fish he caught into it. Xia Ning's legs went weak just by looking at it, but Lin Cheng still let her carry the cage. She stared at Lin Cheng pitifully and said, "I'll cry in front of you."

They had already arrived at the neighboring city C, where people have always had the custom of eating snake meat. Lin Cheng and she walked around the mountain for a long time. Xia Ning also picked two beautiful little flowers and carried a snake cage in her hand... because Lin Cheng threatened her viciously that if she didn't help carry it, he would secretly put the snake around her neck when she wasn't paying attention.

Xia Ning's expression was extremely resentful along the way.

It was already night when they came down the mountain. Lin Cheng's cage contained about five or six non-venomous snakes. Xia Ning shivered as she watched these slippery creatures entangled with each other. She even picked up a goose egg on the way. When she and Lin Cheng returned to the town, Lin Cheng found a restaurant, which charged all of them for 300 yuan. Lin Cheng pinched Xia Ning's face and said, "The money for dinner is settled now."

He and Xia Ning went to the restaurant. Xia Ning handed the goose egg she picked up to the waiter and solemnly reminded him to make a delicious scallion omelette. Three hundred yuan could buy a lot of dishes. This time, he didn't bring beer, but opened a bottle of white wine for thirty-eight yuan. Xia Ning looked at Lin Cheng dimly. Usually, she would spend more than this on a cup of coffee. "Is this thing really drinkable?"

"I can drink and get drunk, but I'll wake up with a headache."

"Why drink it if it gives you a headache?"

"Oh, no matter how expensive the wine is, you'll still get drunk. If you have a headache, then so be it."

Xia Ning took a sip and felt her throat and stomach getting hot. She looked at Lin Cheng's playful eyes and knew that this guy was just teasing her. She got angry all of a sudden and poured herself a full cup. She looked at Lin Cheng and said, "Drink it if you want."

162 Good Night

"You, you, you are not allowed to eat my scallion omelette."

"why?"

"I picked this up myself, hehe."

"Then the other dishes on this table are all bought with the money I earned from catching snakes. You've already eaten a few bites. If you don't spit it out, I'll punch you hard in the stomach and make you vomit." Lin Cheng stared at Xia Ning. Xia Ning shrank her head and reluctantly gave half of her scallion fried egg to Lin Cheng, muttering, "I even helped you carry the cage."

Her tone was weak and she lacked confidence at all.

The two of them finished the bottle of white wine. Xia Ning's head was already dizzy. Lin Cheng reached out his hand to her and took her for a stroll in the town. Xia Ning's steps gradually became brisk from stumbling. He and Lin Cheng walked to the square. Under the lights, Xia Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you want to see me dance?"

"I think so a little bit." Lin Cheng replied.

The girl under the lights danced Korean dance, without accompaniment and rhythm, so she looked like a mental patient, but she danced really well, should we say she is worthy of being a popular idol? Gradually, more people came to the town square, and it was the grandpas and grandmas who started to dance in the square. Xia Ning joined in under the influence of alcohol, and she insisted on grabbing Lin Cheng to dance with her. Lin Cheng had no choice but to dance with her. There was also a duet dance in the square dance, and they became each other's dance partners. Lin Cheng looked at Xia Ning helplessly, "You stepped on my foot."

"Then why don't you step on it back?"

"No." Lin Cheng shook his head, and while she was not paying attention he reached out and patted her on the butt. The touch was very soft and elastic. Xia Ning's eyes widened and she chased him around the square. Every time she was about to catch up with him, Lin Cheng would speed up again. Finally, she supported her knees with her hands, gasping for breath. Lin Cheng was just a few steps in front of her, but she couldn't run anymore. Suddenly she felt her stomach churning, and then she started vomiting violently.

The scene was so tragic.

When Xia Ning raised her head, Lin Cheng had already handed her the ice water and tissue. She took a big sip of water to rinse her mouth, picked up the tissue to wipe her lips, but she didn't dare to look into Lin Cheng's eyes at this moment. Her idol burden was always there, and being seen in such a scene... Xia Ning now wanted to jump directly into the lake next door.

"You bastard..." Xia Ning said weakly, and Lin Cheng shrugged innocently, "If you think so, you are safe now. This way, I will definitely not have any interest in you at night."

Xia Ning couldn't hold back any longer and started to cry.

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

Seeing Xia Ning crying and walking towards the river beside the square, Lin Cheng quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Alright, alright, what's there to be ashamed of?"

"Everyone has seen it... wuwuwu..."

"So what if I saw it? Do you still care about the image you have in my mind? Oh, I see, you have started to have a crush on me."

Xia Ning was so angry that she banged her head against his chest, but unfortunately she didn't do any harm to Lin Cheng. Instead, Lin Cheng held her in his arms like a kitten. He reached out and gently patted Xia Ning's back, "Okay, okay, go back to sleep."

"I can't walk."

"I'll carry you."

"Really?"

"real."

Lin Cheng squatted down, and Xia Ning jumped onto his back, clamping her calves tightly around his waist and her arms tightly around his neck. Lin Cheng supported her butt with his hands, adjusted his position, and walked forward slowly while holding her legs.

"Touch my butt." Xia Ning's voice was faintly heard in Lin Cheng's ears.

"Adjust the position, because I'm afraid you'll fall."

"I don't care, you touch my butt."

"Just touch it." Lin Cheng looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"How does it feel?" Xia Ning leaned close to Lin Cheng's ear.

“…There is no feeling at all.”

Xu Wanyue’s butt is still the most comfortable to pat, soft and elastic, and my hands are all slippery. Damn... I ran away just to stop thinking about her, why am I thinking about her again?

Xia Ning bit Lin Cheng's ear, "You're taking advantage of me."

"Relax."

"Not loose."

Lin Cheng hit her butt with his backhand again, and Xia Ning finally loosened her mouth. She stretched out her hand and poked Lin Cheng's face, "Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up!"

Lin Cheng ran all the way with her on his back.

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

Xia Ning was brought to the hotel safely by him. Lin Cheng lay on his bed and breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Ning got up and went to take a shower. This time she did not let Lin Cheng cover her head. The sound of water splashed from the bathroom. Only the outline could be vaguely seen through the frosted glass in the hotel. Lin Cheng stared at the slender outline out of boredom. After a while, he saw her walking out in a black suspender nightgown.

Her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders. She came to Lin Cheng's bed and looked at him, "Forget what you saw tonight."

"OK OK." Lin Cheng nodded repeatedly. She felt that if she continued to dwell on this matter, she would get really anxious. Little girls all wanted to save face. Xia Ning let out a long sigh and looked at Lin Cheng lying on the bed. "Are you going to sleep?"

"No, I plan to watch a movie."

Lin Cheng turned on the TV in the room and found a horror movie. Xia Ning also lay back on her bed, but after a while she turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"You don't have to look at it."

“But the sound is also scary.”

“You can put on your headphones and listen to music.”

Lin Cheng's tone always seemed to be indifferent. Xia Ning's cheeks puffed up slightly. She simply sat up, turned on the light in the room, and watched TV again. Lin Cheng looked at her dimly, "How can this be the atmosphere for watching a horror movie?"

"But I'm scared." Xia Ning answered confidently.

"Then you can come into my arms."

"You, you, you..." Xia Ning's cheeks suddenly turned red.

It was obvious that Lin Cheng was just speaking casually.

She suddenly fell silent. Lin Cheng turned off the lights and continued to watch the movie with relish. In the darkness, Xia Ning suddenly said, "You are not going to attack me, are you?"

"If we don't talk about the spiritual aspect, do you think you can compare with Jiang Lingxue in terms of figure or face?"

"Don't people always have a change of taste once in a while?"
