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

"Then you have to continue practicing your abilities."

"Can't you just take a day off..."

"No, we can go home after practice. Don't you want to see your sister earlier?"

"There are two days off every week at school." Xu Linglan looked at Lin Cheng aggrievedly, "And you secretly looked at me in the morning."

"I told you I wasn't peeking. It's obviously your own fault."

"Then did you see it?"

“See a little bit.”

"That's what I saw... If it were in ancient times, you would have dug out your eyes."

"Hehe, why don't you say that if you were seen in ancient times, you would be unclean and unable to get married?"

"If I can't get married, I will pester you every day, and you won't be able to marry anyone else."

"Thank you." Lin Cheng stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead. "Go and practice obediently until four in the afternoon. How about I take you to play the escape room?"

Xu Linglan's previous loss disappeared in an instant. She lay back on the bed and began to practice energy control. Her snow-white feet were raised high and her slender feet were swinging slowly.

She would always look back at Lin Cheng to see if he was peeking at her, and then she would see this guy typing away on his cell phone, chatting with some unknown girl.

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

Four p.m.

Lin Cheng booked the tickets for the escape room in advance, in a group of six. He contacted the store in advance to form a team. Xu Linglan put on the white dress she bought the day before and went out with him. It was drizzling outside, so she hid under Lin Cheng's umbrella.

"The umbrella you bought is so small."

"Then just get closer to me."

"Tell me, did you do this on purpose?"

"Please, this umbrella is from the hotel." Lin Cheng tilted the umbrella slightly towards her. Xu Linglan reached out and poked his waist, "No, let's be fair, let's each get half."

"..."

The six people in the escape room formed a team, and the other four were three girls and one boy. The six people started the game. During the game, Xu Linglan huddled tightly beside Lin Cheng and grabbed his arm except when she was doing a task. But there were other girls who wanted to grab Lin Cheng's hand because they were afraid. Xu Linglan reached out her hand without hesitation and patted the guy on the shoulder, "No, no, this is my sister's boyfriend, you can't grab him."

The girl retracted her hand in dismay. Lin Cheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This escape room lasted for a long time, more than an hour. After coming out, Xu Linglan's eyes were full of excitement. She raised her little face and said, "Those girls just wanted to pester you, hehe."

"Can I take this as you praising me?"

"Of course not. Who made you look so gentle and kind and easy to talk to? Hehe, the disguise of a scumbag."

Lin Cheng was so angry that he stretched out his hand and wanted to hit her on the head, but Xu Linglan had anticipated it and put her hands on her head, "You...you can't hit me, I have the obligation to supervise you on behalf of my sister!"

"..." Her reason was so reasonable that Lin Cheng couldn't bring himself to do it. "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"steak!"

"Wait for me to find a store..."

Lin Cheng found another western restaurant. Perhaps because the decoration of the restaurant was too extravagant, Xu Linglan restrained her lively appearance after entering the door. When ordering, she sat there obediently, looking like a good baby. After Lin Cheng ordered the dishes, Xu Linglan muttered softly, "I don't know how to use a knife and fork."

"It's okay, it's very simple, I'll teach you."

Xu Linglan obediently imitated Lin Cheng's appearance, but the knife made a squeaking sound when cutting on the glass plate. She stopped and looked around cautiously. Fortunately, no one was looking at her. She looked at Lin Cheng pitifully. Lin Cheng cut the steak in his hand and put pieces onto her plate one by one. Xu Linglan smiled.

There was no 82 Lafite in the store, but there was another red wine that Lin Cheng couldn't name. They each poured a glass, and Xu Linglan looked out the window. This was the st floor, and the night view of the city downstairs was fully captured in her eyes.

"It's great to have money." She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"When your energy reaches 10,000, it will be easy to make money. Just make a small pill that can extend your life by ten years, and countless rich people will be vying to make offers. But if you need money, I will introduce you to Litchi. You can make these things and ask her to help you sell them, which can save you a lot of trouble."

Her eyes sparkled, and after a while she whispered, "I'm going to buy a sports car then too!"

"Good."

"Do you have your own sports car?" She looked at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng shook his head, "I can't drive."

He still hasn't passed the driving test. Xu Linglan tilted her head and said, "Then I'll take you for a ride when the time comes."

"Okay, okay. It would be even better if you could lend me the sports car when you buy it."

Xu Linglan gently kicked Lin Cheng with her Mary Jane-wearing feet under the table, "And then go and hook up with other women?"

"I think you are prejudiced against me."

"I think I have no prejudice against a scumbag who is entangled with at least three women. What do you think?"

"...If you say it is, then it is." Lin Cheng gave up.

After dinner, the two of them came to the park downstairs for a walk. There was a flower garden in the park. The evening breeze blew the hem of her white dress. Lin Cheng looked at her slightly childish face and thought... How long has it been since he saw such a silly girl?

Lin Cheng was thinking this, and the next second he suddenly realized that his mind was read again. Xu Linglan raised her fist, "You are secretly cursing me in your heart!"

"No, it means to compliment you on your cuteness."

"You are stupid, you are cute."

"Yes, I think I'm cute too." Lin Cheng took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth. Xu Linglan punched his chest with her little fist, "Shame on you."

Then she spread her hands towards Lin Cheng, "Where's mine?"

"This is what someone gave me last time. This is the only one. Do you want it?" Lin Cheng took the lollipop out of his mouth, and the next second Xu Linglan's little feet stepped on his feet.

“It hurts.”

"It will hurt you to death." Xu Linglan jumped to buy a two-dollar ice cream cone, took a big bite of it, and Lin Cheng came to her side, "Can you give me a bite?"

“No, no.” Xu Linglan stretched out her hand and pushed his face away, “If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself.”

"Just one bite."

"No, no."

"I've already treated you to steak."

"Hey, you owe me that."

"..."

Xu Linglan held the ice cream cone and ate it slowly. She and Lin Cheng continued to walk forward. When there was only a little bit of ice cream left in the cone, she handed the remaining cone shell to Lin Cheng's mouth and said, "Here you go."

"It's all gone, I won't eat it!"

Lin Cheng didn't want to, he also ran to buy an ice cream cone, brought it back and held it in his hands, the two continued to walk forward, while walking Xu Linglan suddenly stopped and looked behind her, "Hey, sister?"

Lin Cheng followed her gaze and looked back. The next second, Xu Linglan came over and took a big bite of his ice cream cone like a puppy. Lin Cheng looked back and saw nothing. When he realized that she was coming over, Xu Linglan had already run away, with milk stains on the corners of her mouth.

“……” He looked down at the ice cream cone that he had taken a big bite of, and his heart ached.

205 K

The night was dark.

The light of the street lamps fell on the roadside, a light golden color. It was raining quietly again. Lin Cheng came to Xu Linglan's side and looked down at her swaying skirt. Under the skirt were the girl's straight white legs. Lin Cheng asked, "Are you cold?"

"Kind of."

Lin Cheng reached out and touched the ear clip, then took out a suit jacket and gave it to her. Xu Linglan blinked, "Huh? You also brought a jacket?"

"A suit is a man's armor. You must have one when you go out."

"So you can pick up girls anytime?"

"Yeah, yeah, I saw a girl shivering in the cold on the street and handed her a suit and asked her if she was cold."

"Will people think I'm crazy?"

Lin Cheng pointed at his own face and said, "If I'm pretty, then I won't."

"You are so shameless." Xu Linglan snorted and wrapped herself tightly in the coat. She raised her wrist and sniffed, "Hey, there is still the smell of perfume."

"Perfume is a good deal." Lin Cheng took a bite of the remaining ice cream cone. "A bottle worth a few hundred yuan can be used 200 times. It only costs one or two yuan each time, but it can give people the impression that you have good taste and style."

"So it's easy to pick up women?"

"You can't stand the scumbag, right?" Lin Cheng looked at her helplessly. Xu Linglan hummed softly, and Lin Cheng came to her side. "Okay, it's time to go home and sleep, right?"

"No, I don't want to sleep yet."

"Then what else do you want to do?"

"I don't know, you think."

"Why do I think so?"

“I always feel like you can think of something interesting.”

"..."

Lin Cheng stood there thinking hard for a long time. His late night entertainment activities were either going out for a drink or being held captive by women. There was no other so-called fun things. The only entertainment activity he knew at this time was a private cinema. He thought for a while and said, "How about we go gamble?"

Xu Linglan's eyes suddenly became brighter than the street lights.

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

City S.

The largest casino under the organization called [K].

In addition to people with special abilities, there are also often wealthy people in the city and wealthy people from other cities who come here to play. K will ensure their safety and guarantee that gambling here is absolutely fair. If you are caught cheating here, the lightest punishment at best is to have your hands chopped off.

Lin Cheng still had the money that Xia Ning had transferred to him in his pocket, and now he had 170,000 left. Lin Cheng simply exchanged it all for chips. Although the casino looked orderly, Xu Linglan still grabbed the corner of his clothes nervously. Lin Cheng handed all the 170,000 chips to Xu Linglan, "Play whatever you want."

"Aren't you worried that you might lead me astray?"

"You won't be short of money in the future, so why worry about such things?"

Xu Linglan happily took the 170,000 chips to the slot machine and played with the chips one hundred at a time, winning and losing. In the end, she lost 20,000 yuan. When she came to her senses, she realized that the 20,000 yuan was no longer worth it.

Suddenly my heart aches.

"Don't cheat." Lin Cheng said softly behind her, "It's just for fun, just think of this money as a waste."

So Xu Linglan grabbed the chips and went to another gambling table to play the game against the dealer, but soon lost all the 50,000 chips. She looked at Lin Cheng aggrievedly, "Let's change the chips back and stop playing."

"Ok?"

"Heart hurts."

"Let me teach you how to play Texas Hold'em?" Lin Cheng winked at her.

He took the remaining 100,000 chips to the table. Xu Linglan watched obediently behind him and reached out to massage his shoulders. Lin Cheng was a Texas Hold'em master, but most of the people in this casino were also masters. From a technical perspective, Lizhi should be able to easily crush these people, but Lin Cheng was not so good. Without cheating, he could only be considered a minor master.

But he was lucky, and soon won two hundred thousand chips. He looked at Xu Linglan, "Do you want to play?"

Xu Linglan's eyes were full of eagerness to try.

Half an hour later, she had lost all of Lin Cheng's 200,000 chips, leaving only 5,000. She lowered her head, followed Lin Cheng in frustration, and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "It's so hard."

"Because it's written all over your face. According to you, these adults are all bad guys."

“Then you win the money back.”

"If I don't cheat, I may not be able to win back."

"Then cheat."

"… Let's see if we can win it back first."

Lin Cheng went to the small gambling table again with the five thousand chips, but he met a professional gambler and lost the five thousand dollars, leaving only the last five hundred.

Xu Linglan felt so heartbroken.

"There's so much money that I haven't made..."

"If it's gone, it's gone. We still have 500 yuan left so we can go have a hotpot meal."

"Just leaving..."

"Yes."

Although Xu Linglan did have a lot of fun playing, she felt heartbroken when she thought about losing so much money. Lin Cheng felt almost indifferent. After all, it was money from Xia Ning, so it would be a waste if he didn't spend it.

"Win the money back..." Xu Linglan grabbed his arm and shook it.
