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

"Don't cry yet. It's raining hard. I may not be able to get here in an hour. You can continue gambling with her. It doesn't matter how much you lose. Just wait until I get here. I will take you away safely."

Xu Wanyue's expression was a little dull. Her voice was just crying and her eyes were red, but at this moment her tears suddenly fell, and her tone was raised a little, "You, you want to come and save me?"

"Since we're working together, we're a family. Lizhi doesn't mean to cheat you. It's just that the organization seems to be really short of money recently. She called me just now, but I was asleep and didn't answer. Luckily, the thunder woke me up. Don't worry, I'll get there as soon as possible."

Xu Wanyue had never felt that in this world, a man's tone could be so gentle. It was as if she was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, and after struggling again and again, she was sinking deeper and deeper, but suddenly a hand pulled her up, so that she ignored the fact that it was clearly them who pushed her into the bottom of the lake.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

There was light in Xu Wanyue's eyes again.

21 The Lady of Luck's Favor

The temperature in the box seemed to freeze.

Xu Wanyue raised her head and said, "Within an hour...someone will come and solve this matter."

The girl opposite smiled calmly, "Okay."

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

Fifty-seven minutes later.

The door of the box opened, and the waiter outside led in a man who was drenched by the heavy rain.

The man was holding a motorcycle helmet in his hand. His T-shirt was completely wet, and his shorts were dripping with water. His hair was stuck to his forehead, and he looked rather disheveled. He put the helmet aside and was about to take off his T-shirt when he suddenly saw the young girl sitting there and said, "Are you an adult, little girl?"

"Eighteen years old." The girl answered calmly.

Xu Wanyue was startled. It was clear that the girl looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. Lin Cheng seemed to be relieved. He then took off his T-shirt that was completely soaked by the rain and muttered, "It's not considered hooliganism when you are an adult."

At this moment, his upper body was naked, and he was wearing only shorts. His hair was not dry yet. Lin Cheng looked at the pale girl sitting on the chair, "Can you please send me two towels?"

The girl looked at his face, and after a second or two of silence, she winked, and someone went to get a towel. Soon the towel was delivered to Lin Cheng, who began to wipe his hair with the towel. Xu Wanyue was very observant. She picked up another towel, stood up, and wiped Lin Cheng's back, which was still covered with rain. At the same time, she also noticed the scars on Lin Cheng's back.

"Thank you." Lin Cheng smiled at Xu Wanyue. Xu Wanyue pointed at her previous chair and whispered, "Please sit down."

Lin Cheng sat on the chair and Xu Wanyue stood behind him. For some reason, when Xu Wanyue saw him sitting here, her breathing gradually calmed down.

"It's raining so hard. I haven't raced in the rain for a while. I almost fell to my death when my car skidded just now."

Xu Wanyue then noticed that there was a wound on Lin Cheng's left arm. It was a scratch and bloody. She hurriedly took a towel and wanted to tie it up for Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The bleeding has stopped. Don't touch it. It hurts."

Lin Cheng smiled again. He looked at the girl opposite him and asked, "Are you really eighteen years old?"

"I just turned eighteen the day before yesterday."

"A legal loli, but why are she wearing black stockings? They're too thick and don't show the flesh. I give a bad review." Lin Cheng muttered in a very low voice. Only Xu Wanyue, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly. Xu Wanyue's face turned dark.

"What's your name, little sister?"

"Hyacinth." Obviously Hyacinthus didn't like being called little sister, and her brows were slightly wrinkled.

"Then you can just call me Brother Lin Cheng." Lin Cheng's voice was gentle, as if he was coaxing a child. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"She just lost 70 million in a bet with me." Hyacinthus said calmly.

"Only 70 million? I thought we lost 700 million." His tone was lazy. Xu Wanyue on the side gently grasped the hem of her sweatshirt with her fingertips. She remembered that the organization could not even take out 20 million now.

"This little money is meaningless, let's play two more rounds." Lin Cheng leaned forward slightly, interlacing his fingers, "How about playing something exciting? After all... what you and I really care about is not this money, right?"

Hyacinthus was stunned and her eyes were locked on his, but Lin Cheng just smiled at her indifferently.

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

"I refuse." Hyacinth's voice was indifferent.

Her voice was also a bit immature, and her chest was particularly barren, so she looked no different from a 14 or 15-year-old girl who had just started to develop. Lin Cheng looked a little surprised, "Huh?"

"Pay 70 million first, and I'll give you the chance to participate in the next gambling game." Hyacinthus's eyes were fixed on Lin Cheng, as if she wanted to read something from his face. Lin Cheng noticed her gaze and also looked at her.

Compared with the previous teasing and coldness in front of Xu Wanyue, Hyacinthus seemed to become a little lazy at this moment. She kicked her calves lightly on the ground, moved the chair back, and then placed her calves on the table, lightly crossing them, staring at Lin Cheng in front of her with disdain.

Her slender ankles were covered by black silk stockings and she was wearing a pair of thick-soled leather shoes, which obviously made her look taller.

"You seem very afraid of me?" Lin Cheng suddenly laughed.

Of course he couldn't come up with 70 million at the moment, but how could his expression be embarrassed? When you go out, you need to be thick-skinned. Hyacinthus was obviously unmoved by his low-level provocation, "If you don't have money... just roll over and lick the soles of my shoes, and I can give you another 10 million less."

Lin Cheng's eyes lit up, "Can I lick your feet? Don't take off your socks."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. A blush appeared on Hyacinth's pale cheeks. She glared at him fiercely, "You pervert."

"You said it yourself." Lin Cheng grumbled aggrievedly, and then added, "70 million is nothing. We have just reached a cooperation with Brilliant Pharmaceuticals. It won't be long before the first dividend will be credited to your account. By then, I will give you some interest, and the total amount will be 90 million, how about it?"

"I refuse." Hyacinthus sneered, "If you can't pay, leave something behind."

"for example?"

"I want her eyes and her hands."

"You can't just want it because you're jealous that her eyes and hands are prettier than yours." Lin Cheng shrugged, "Then how much do you think my face is worth?"

"One dollar is too much for me."

This was obviously a counterattack against Lin Cheng, but compared to trash talk, the girl in front of him was obviously inferior to Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng turned around and looked at Xu Wanyue, "Was she very cold to you just now?"

"Yes." Xu Wanyue clearly remembered the teasing taunting and cold eyes of Feng Xinzi. Lin Cheng laughed at this moment, "Of course, she is jealous of all the girls who are better developed than her, because she will never grow up in her life. Not only that, but she can't eat or sleep, so...she will gradually become a child with an awkward personality."

Xu Wanyue was a little confused, but Feng Xinzi, who was sitting opposite him, was suddenly startled, and then anger appeared in her eyes. She didn't understand how Lin Cheng knew her information, but at this moment her breathing began to become rapid, and after a moment, a revolver was thrown in front of Lin Cheng's desk.

"Oh?" Lin Cheng picked up the revolver and looked at the girl opposite with a smile.

"There is a bullet in it. One shot costs 10 million. How many times do you dare to fire? I will reduce your debt by that much." Hyacinthus stared coldly at Lin Cheng in front of him. She was clearly a young and lovely girl, but her eyes were as cold as a venomous snake at this moment, as if she was expecting Lin Cheng to show some nervousness or panic. Unfortunately, Lin Cheng grabbed the gun and pressed it against his temple. "Really? The lying little girl will be caught and spanked."

"I hope you'll be as proud as you are now when your head explodes."

"How could that be? I have the goddess of luck by my side." Before pulling the trigger, Lin Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Wanyue, who was standing aside and was at a loss at the moment, and his expression became serious. "Your ability is luck, sequence 369. Your life will be full of bad luck before you are eighteen years old. If you can survive, then from the age of eighteen to thirty-six, you will become extremely lucky. This is the basic operating logic of your ability, but... the goddess of luck is a love-brained person."

"Hyacinth has temporarily sealed your ability using an unknown method. I haven't found a way to crack it yet, but... your ability has a hidden attribute. Any human being favored by you can gain a certain degree of luck in a short period of time and ignore any sealing rules. So... I need you to help me."

"What should I do...?"

Lin Cheng stretched out his other hand, poked his face with his fingers, and smiled innocently.

"kiss Me."

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

"Huh?" Xu Wanyue was stunned for four or five seconds.

"There's no time to explain. Success or failure depends on this. You don't want to see my head explode like a smashed watermelon. It will hurt." Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue in front of him aggrievedly. Xu Wanyue pinched the hem of her sweatshirt with her fingers. After hesitating for several seconds, she slowly moved forward.

Under a series of high pressures, her brain had lost the ability to think, so she subconsciously believed Lin Cheng in front of her. Lin Cheng closed his eyes, and Xu Wanyue slowly approached, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. Her eyelashes trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, she closed her eyes, leaned close to his face and gently... pecked him.

It is very light and fast like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Lin Cheng opened his eyes and saw Xu Wanyue's slightly red cheeks. He smiled at her and said, "Thank you."

Before Xu Wanyue could say anything else, Lin Cheng suddenly pulled the trigger. The first shot missed.

Second shot, third shot, fourth shot, fifth shot, blank shot.

Xu Wanyue stared at Lin Cheng in front of her with wide eyes. Why did he know his abilities better than she did? She clearly didn't know this hidden rule.

Lin Cheng looked at her shocked expression and gave her a strange look, "You've never been in love before?"

Xu Wanyue's cheeks suddenly turned red. "Is it shameful to have never been in love?"

...Before she turned eighteen, she was full of bad luck, had no friends, and kept away from people. The only person she played with was her younger sister. After she turned eighteen, her younger sister got into trouble, and she chose to join the alliance. There were boys who wanted to pursue her, but she was always a little uneasy in her heart. She always felt that she and these people with special abilities were not from the same world, so she was particularly resistant.

"It's not shameful. I'm just curious as to how you don't know the hidden rules of your ability." Lin Cheng smiled at her, then turned to look at Hyacinthus opposite.

Hyacinth was obviously a little angry and had started scratching her legs with her fingers. Her sharp nails left bloody marks on her white thighs, but the marks began to heal at an extremely fast speed.

It's a pity, it would be better if the skirt was lifted a little higher.

22 You will die

"According to the rules of the game, can I shoot you now?"

Lin Cheng suddenly picked up the revolver on the table and pointed the gun at Hyacinthus in front of him.

The two men in suits beside Hyacinthus quickly stood in front of her, and the atmosphere became tense at this moment. Xu Wanyue, who was standing behind Lin Cheng, held her breath and dared not even breathe.

"Get out of the way." Hyacinthus' voice came from behind the two men in suits. The two men in suits moved away from her. Lin Cheng was able to continue looking at Hyacinthus. Hyacinthus had put down her legs on the table and sat quietly on the chair. However, her eyes were flashing with a strange light at this moment. "Of course... If you can kill me today, all debts can be written off."

"What's wrong with being alive?"

Lin Cheng chuckled, pulled the trigger, and shot the girl opposite him in the head.

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

Xu Wanyue stretched out her hands and covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming, but her arms began to spasm at this moment. Everything in front of her was bloody and disgusting, but the two men in suits were unmoved, and Lin Cheng just calmly put down the gun.

"Don't worry." Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue and said gently, "She won't die."

Right after Lin Cheng finished speaking, all the flesh and blood that had fallen on the ground, the table, and the ceiling suddenly became suspended. Even the girl's headless body stopped bleeding. Everything returned to its original position, like a puzzle. In just over ten seconds, the Hyacinthus in front of him had returned to her previous appearance. Even the bloodstains on her dress had disappeared, and everything was as good as new.

It was clear that his head had just been blown up by a bullet, but at this moment, when Feng Xinzi looked at Lin Cheng's head, she was not angry, but flashed a strange light, "You seem to know my ability very well."

"I don't really understand it, I just saw a little bit, so I wanted to give it a try."

"What if... I can't survive?"

"It's free to try. What does your life or death have to do with me?" Lin Cheng shrugged.

"Then have you ever thought that... neither of you will be able to leave this box tonight?" Hyacinth stared at him coldly. The man in a suit next to her handed the pistol to her again. Hyacinth loaded the gun one by one, three bullets this time.

She pointed the gun at Lin Cheng and said, "I will only fire three times."

"I'm curious... How long can the luck she bestows on you last?" Hyacinthus obviously had a certain understanding of Xu Wanyue's abilities, and knew that the so-called "favor" was not absolute luck. She picked up the pistol and pointed it at Lin Cheng's head, but Lin Cheng suddenly stretched out a hand, "Wait! Give me a minute!"

Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue.

For some reason, Xu Wanyue suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It seems... this is the only way." Lin Cheng sighed, shook his head helplessly, then stood up and walked close to Xu Wanyue. Xu Wanyue didn't quite understand the situation yet, and then she was gently... hugged by Lin Cheng.

Xu Wanyue was stunned.

She seldom had physical contact with others, and even felt weird when her best friend hugged her occasionally. It wasn't that she hated it, but she was just not used to it... In the past ten years or so, she had never hugged anyone, not even her sister. Before she was eighteen, she didn't understand how her misfortune was contagious, so she could only avoid touching as much as possible.

But at this moment, Lin Cheng was holding her tightly.

"I brushed my teeth before going out." Lin Cheng's lips were close to her ears, and his voice was very soft. Xu Wanyue's body trembled slightly. She slowly moved closer to Lin Cheng's ears, and her voice seemed a little aggrieved, "Do we have to use this method?"

"You choose between dying together and losing your first kiss." Lin Cheng patted her back gently, seeming a little helpless. Xu Wanyue could only answer in a low voice, "Well, okay, alright..."

She hugged Lin Cheng gently and then closed her eyes.

Xu Wanyue's makeup today was very light, with faint traces of lipstick on her pink lips. Her eyelashes were long, and the light and shadow under her eyelashes were intertwined. She was indeed an exceptionally beautiful girl, with fair skin and a good figure, so much so that Lin Cheng felt a little guilty in his heart.

...Although he had to do this, he lied about some of the details.

...Maybe if I let her kiss my face first, she'll be more receptive to the next kiss.

Lin Cheng slowly approached and gently kissed her lips.

Xu Wanyue didn't dare to open her eyes, and her pink lips slowly opened a little. She was like a frightened deer, with nowhere to escape at this moment. She was forced to cooperate with everything Lin Cheng did. The dizziness in her head made her feel a little powerless, so she hugged Lin Cheng tightly with her hands. Inexplicable emotions grew in her heart like wildly growing vines. She slowly opened her eyes, wanting to see clearly the man who took her first kiss.

Suddenly I wanted to cry.

Ten seconds later, Lin Cheng loosened his arms around her, and went to the table to get a tissue, carefully wiping Xu Wanyue's lips. Then he returned to his chair and sat back down, looking at Feng Xinzi opposite with a smile, "Shoot."

Hyacinth pulled the trigger, the first shot, a blank.

The second shot, the third shot, still blanks.

But at this moment, the curve of Hyacinthus's lips was even more creepy.

"I'm just kidding."

She pulled the trigger for the fourth time, aiming at Lin Cheng's forehead.

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

The fourth shot will never be a blank.

But the bullet grazed Lin Cheng's shoulder and landed on the glass outside the window, shattering it. Lin Cheng looked at Feng Xinzi innocently and said, "Your shooting skills are terrible. This is not a toy for children."
