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

Perhaps in her heart, this is a knot that has lingered for many years.

...So, it’s okay to tell some white lies appropriately.

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

Half an hour later, Xu Wanyue sent Lin Cheng downstairs. There was an umbrella in Xu Wanyue's car, but Lin Cheng didn't want it. He casually said before opening the car door, "Thank you. Do you want to go upstairs for a cup of tea?"

After asking, Xu Wanyue was silent for two or three seconds. Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the most basic social etiquette? Then Xu Wanyue just had to shake her head and politely refuse. As a result, Xu Wanyue... nodded slightly.

"it is good."

"...?"

So Xu Wanyue picked up the umbrella and went upstairs with Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng opened the umbrella, his face expressionless, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

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

Fortunately, Lin Cheng had a pair of pink slippers for guests at home. He brought the slippers to Xu Wanyue. After Xu Wanyue took off her white canvas shoes and put them on, she suddenly asked, "Did a girl live in your house before?"

"how do you know?"

"Why else would it be pink?" Xu Wanyue answered innocently. Lin Cheng thought it would be great if your intelligence could be used elsewhere.

"It's true that there was a girl who lived with me for a while."

Xu Wanyue followed Lin Cheng into the house. The black cat was lying on the sofa in the living room. Lin Cheng realized that there was no tea at home at all. After all, it was just a habitual social gesture. After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, he found a bag of soy milk powder.

"Do you... drink soy milk?" Lin Cheng asked somewhat embarrassedly.

But there seemed to be some surprise in Xu Wanyue's eyes, and she nodded rapidly.

Three minutes later, Lin Cheng could tell from her expression as she sipped the soy milk that she probably really liked soy milk.

"It's a bit hot." Xu Wanyue suddenly muttered softly.

"How about I turn on the air conditioner in the living room?"

"It's okay." Xu Wanyue put down the ceramic cup in her hand, then grabbed the hem of her sweatshirt and took off her coat at an extremely fast speed. Lin Chenggang was shocked and surprised at what was happening, only to realize that she was wearing a small black vest with straps under her sweatshirt.

The straps around her waist were of hollow design, revealing her soft white flesh that looked particularly seductive against the black straps. Especially since the small vest was of a slightly low-cut design, revealing her slender collarbone. Her breasts were a little too full, and among all the people Lin Cheng knew, it seemed that only Grape could rival her.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I won't be angry even if you look at me openly." Xu Wanyue said this suddenly. Lin Cheng's expression was awkward at that time. His brain was disconnected and he didn't know what to say to avoid looking awkward.

Xu Wanyue's expression was innocent, "It won't hurt to look at it for a while."

"You usually dress like this?"

"Not really. I wear them more at home. I seldom go out." Xu Wanyue answered, "But I often watch a lot of short videos. I think they look good in these clothes, so I bought a lot of them."

…No wonder there were so many women dressed in fringe outfits the last time you came to the casino.

...But isn't her train of thought a bit strange?

Lin Cheng always felt that Xu Wanyue seemed a little... stupid. She looked like a normal lady when they first met, but why did she seem a little silly after they got a little familiar with her?

Lin Cheng suddenly had a strange idea in his mind, so he asked, "You didn't have many friends before?"

"Who, who said I don't have any more?" Xu Wanyue's eyes seemed a little flustered, her fingertips clutching the water cup, and Lin Cheng stared at her straight. After a while, she lowered her head, like a little girl confessing her mistake, "Yes... I have been playing alone since I was a child, and only my sister plays with me."

"why?"

"Because I'm very unlucky... I always get myself covered in wounds. When I was in elementary school, they all said I was a jinx, and I have a scar-prone physique. Look... here, here..." Xu Wanyue said as she lifted up her trouser leg. There was a scar on her calf. She muttered softly, "This was caused by a dog bite when I was a child..."

She turned around and showed Lin Cheng her waist. "I fell off my bike when I was in middle school..."

"Isn't this considered a normal person's bad luck? Why do you remember it so clearly?"

Xu Wanyue looked at him dimly, "Before the puppy bit me, no one was afraid of it... When I fell off my bicycle, there was a car accident nearby, and the car came towards me and hit me... I stayed in the hospital for three months, and there were many more things that happened."

The corner of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"When I was a kid... my sister and I lived in the countryside. After our parents passed away, my uncle took us to the city and used his connections to get us into a local school. But the city kids wouldn't play with us... so... I didn't make many friends. When I was in fifth grade, some boys wrote me love letters. The girls were jealous and wanted to bully me so that I wouldn't leave after school. They pulled my hair and slapped me... It was useless even when I told the teacher."

"What about junior high and high school? You were so pretty in junior high and high school, so there must have been a lot of people chasing after you, right?"

Xu Wanyue raised her head, her eyes full of resentment, as if Lin Cheng had mentioned something sad about her again, "My acne never healed from the time I was thirteen to eighteen... After my eighteenth birthday, it healed inexplicably overnight..."

"Is it very, very serious?"

"Now, whenever I see a photo from the past, I will think of Zisha." Xu Wanyue was about to cry.

Lin Cheng felt that his energy for awkward conversation was about to run out.

Lin Cheng could only pick up the soy milk in the cup and take another sip. He didn't know what to say. After a while, Xu Wanyue finished the soy milk, saw the cat on the sofa, and picked up the cat. Her eyes were shining, as if she liked this furry little animal very much.

“Your cat is so cute.”

"I found it on the roadside and have kept it for several years."

Xu Wanyue picked up the cat's paw and waved it, looking so happy. Lin Cheng felt a particularly subtle contrast from her. She was obviously the kind of queen with a particularly good figure, tall, slender and plump, but why did he feel that this girl became stupid after taking off her social mask, and it didn't seem like she was acting.

... Could it be that her undercover plan is a honey trap? How do you know that this is the only trick I can't refuse?

"It's still raining hard outside, why don't you watch some TV..."

"Okay."

Lin Cheng turned on the TV. He usually used the TV at home to cast the screen. Lin Cheng continued to play Kamen Rider. He hesitated and wanted to turn it off and ask Xu Wanyue what she was watching, but Xu Wanyue was already holding the cat and looking at the TV with a particularly bright look, "It's a classic."

"Have you seen this?"

"My uncle's own children like to watch this. My sister and I watched TV with him when we were young. He was the only one in the family who had the right to control the remote control." Xu Wanyue's eyes were bright. "I can also do Fiaz's transformation moves."

"Why don't you... give a performance?" Lin Cheng looked at her playfully, but Xu Wanyue blushed and muttered softly, "I, I'm not a child anymore..."

"Perform a show. I want to see it."

"Well then..." Xu Wanyue put the cat down and stood up. Lin Cheng sat on the sofa and looked at her. She blushed under the light and uttered a few words in a slightly awkward Japanese language. The translation was roughly...

"Hey, you know what? After you have a dream... sometimes you feel depressed and sad, and sometimes you become excited. It seems like this. I don't have a dream, but... I can protect the dreams of others."

Lin Cheng was in a daze for a long time.

Xu Wanyue finished her performance, covered her face with her hands, and then secretly looked at Lin Cheng through her fingers. After seeing that Lin Cheng had no reaction, she carefully sat back on the sofa, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, you're so cute." Lin Cheng laughed.

But Xu Wanyue suddenly muttered, "Don't just praise girls for being cute."

"Ok?"

"To compliment a girl on her cuteness... yes, yes... it means that you like her."

"Where did you learn this?"

“That’s what the short video said.”

"You should watch less stupid short videos." Lin Cheng couldn't help laughing for some reason. Xu Wanyue looked at him with dissatisfaction. She shifted her gaze to the TV and soon started watching it seriously. Lin Cheng simply leaned on the sofa and watched with her for a while. He turned off the lights in the living room. Occasionally, he would glance at Xu Wanyue who was sitting next to him. Xu Wanyue's eyes were sparkling and she seemed very passionate.

It was so strange that Lin Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't know when he felt some weight on his shoulders. It was Xu Wanyue's head leaning on him. This was not intentional, because after leaning on him for a while, Xu Wanyue raised his head and said, "Oh... I'm so sleepy... The rain hasn't stopped yet..."

"Then you can sleep in my room. I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Eh...it's okay, I can just sleep on the sofa." Xu Wanyue muttered to herself. After a while, her head rested on Lin Cheng's shoulder again. Lin Cheng looked down at her.

She fell asleep.

25 Envy

When Xu Wanyue woke up, the light in the room was dim.

In fact, it was already dawn outside the window, but Lin Cheng never opened the curtains at home. She slowly sat up from the bed, stunned for a moment, and began to recall what happened last night. She clearly remembered that she was still watching TV in the living room, and then she was too sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. Before falling asleep, her head was resting on Lin Cheng's shoulder, but why was she lying on the bed now?

Lin Cheng was not beside the bed. Xu Wanyue's clothes were neatly arranged. She lifted the quilt and her slippers were neatly placed beside the bed. Xu Wanyue walked carefully to the living room, where Lin Cheng was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Xu Wanyue took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was 7:32 in the morning.

She quietly returned to Lin Cheng's room, logged into her alliance account, and sent a message to a certain account, describing in detail everything that happened last night. She hesitated for a long time about the fact that she kissed Lin Cheng and then kissed him for more than ten seconds. In the end, she did not hide it and chose to pass it over.

At the end of the message, she added one more sentence, "Can I...pay one million to buy that evolutionary blood?"

The other party did not reply, obviously not online yet. Xu Wanyue quietly put away her phone and glanced at Lin Cheng in the living room through the crack in the door. Lin Cheng was still asleep. Xu Wanyue always felt some inexplicable guilt in her heart.

Sneaking into the fruit shop as an undercover was the mission assigned to her by the Alliance. The importance of this mission was defined as SS-level. Only she and her superior knew about the mission and it had to be kept absolutely confidential. Her superior had said that after completing the mission, he could fulfill any of her wishes. She asked for the blood of evolution...and her superior did not refuse, and promised that as long as she collected enough information, he would give her the blood of evolution.

Xu Wanyue's wish to join the alliance was very simple. When she was eighteen years old and her sister was fourteen years old, her sister fell into a coma due to the awakening of her ability, so she joined the alliance to seek a way to wake her sister up. She also spent all her savings to invite people with healing abilities in the alliance, but they also said they were powerless. This was a coma caused by the explosion of ability. If she wanted to heal her, perhaps the blood of evolution would work.

Xu Wanyue didn't know much about the Blood of Evolution. She only knew that it was the alliance's top secret and was related to the legendary hero Siming. She left the message just now just to give it a try. Maybe... the Blood of Evolution was not as expensive as she imagined, although she knew the hope was slim.

But it was Lin Cheng who saved her last night... Xu Wanyue's head was a little confused. She glanced at Lin Cheng's room. It was not dirty, just a little messy. Xu Wanyue was a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. She felt a little uncomfortable looking at the messy room. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty as an undercover agent. She found the apron in the kitchen, tied it on, and began to clean the room.

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

Lin Cheng woke up at noon. He slowly sat up from the sofa, looked at the living room that had suddenly become tidy, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, "I traveled through time?"

Xu Wanyue was basking in the sun with the cat on the balcony. She was holding the cat and combing its hair with the comb that Lin Cheng had bought earlier. The cat seemed to be enjoying it. Xu Wanyue's upper body was still only wearing the black strap bra camisole with only two ropes on her back. Lin Cheng happened to see her snow-white and delicate back skin. He stood up from the sofa and asked, "What's going on?"

"Since your room is so messy, I helped clean it up..." Xu Wanyue's voice was filled with a little pride.

Lin Cheng went back to his room, took a look, ruffled his messy hair, and turned around. "After cleaning, I can't find a lot of things. I put them away before, and I remember where they are... Now I forget them."

"How could that be? I helped you put all your things in different areas." Xu Wanyue came over with the cat in her arms and told Lin Cheng where she had put all her things. Lin Cheng listened blankly. At the end, Xu Wanyue said with blushing cheeks, "I put those... things in the cabinet for you."

"what?"

"That's right, those things..."

Lin Cheng looked at the cabinet she pointed to, opened it and took a look. Inside was a furry rabbit tail, well... of course not for his use. There were also some family planning supplies. Oh, there was also a pair of white lace socks for women, and two small clips with bows. These things fully proved that there was a woman in this room, and she had some ambiguous relationship with the male owner of the room.

"Ah, okay." Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue's face, "Why are you blushing?"

"I, I'm not blushing." Xu Wanyue turned her face away and snorted, "I've also cleaned up your kitchen. Are you hungry?"

"A little bit. Can you cook?"

"Yeah, of course. My uncle runs a restaurant, and I learned to cook from him when I was very young. What do you want to eat?"

"Braised pork, fried meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, pork with preserved vegetables, stir-fried tomatoes, egg white, vegetable and tofu soup." Lin Cheng listed the names of the dishes very quickly.

"Can you finish eating so much?" Xu Wanyue looked resentful.

"But I really want to eat."

"No, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, you choose... Don't waste food."

"Then let's have braised pork, cola chicken wings and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"Then let's go downstairs to buy some groceries." Xu Wanyue raised her head slightly and looked at him.

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then Xu Wanyue suddenly thought of something, "Can you lend me a T-shirt? I wore a thick sweater because it was cold last night, and it seems to be very hot outside now."

Lin Cheng went to the closet and took out a white T-shirt for him. Xu Wanyue put on his clothes and went downstairs with him, carrying the garbage bags. Lin Cheng was still a little confused. Should he say she was naive or outgoing?

There is a supermarket not far downstairs. Lin Cheng picked out the ingredients with Xu Wanyue. Xu Wanyue proudly showed off to him how to pick fresh vegetables when buying vegetables. Lin Cheng listened silently on the side. After buying the vegetables, he was responsible for carrying them upstairs. Then Xu Wanyue went to the kitchen. She tied an apron and started the stove in the kitchen. Lin Cheng sat in the living room, drinking the ice soy milk that Xu Wanyue had prepared in the morning and put in the refrigerator. At the moment, it felt quite magical.

Soon, a fragrance came from the living room. Lin Cheng walked to the kitchen door to look at her. At this moment, Xu Wanyue was wearing an apron, her long black hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head, and the jeans behind her wrapped around her perky buttocks, outlining a beautiful curve.

"How can I help?"

"No, just wait for your meal."

Why did her tone sound like she was coaxing a child? After a moment of confusion, Lin Cheng suddenly realized something. This tone seemed like... the tone of an older sister talking to her younger sister.

Xu Wanyue is actually a little older than him.

Lin Cheng turned on the air conditioner in the living room and sat on the sofa waiting quietly. Forty minutes later, Xu Wanyue came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. Lin Cheng hurriedly followed to serve the dishes and rice. The two sat at the table. Xu Wanyue took off his T-shirt, revealing the black suspender vest underneath, revealing her good figure.

"Wash your hands before eating."

Lin Cheng went to wash his hands obediently and came back, spreading his hands to show her. He felt as if he was a kindergarten kid and Xu Wanyue was a kindergarten teacher. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. Xu Wanyue's cooking skills were really good. The braised pork was stewed soft and tasty, and the cola chicken wings were just the right soft and tender, falling off the bone when you ate them. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were delicious, and she added white vinegar when they were served.

"Delicious." Lin Cheng buried his head and ate his rice in big mouthfuls.

"Eating slowly is good for your stomach." Xu Wanyue reminded from the side and began to eat silently with the bowl in her arms. The air-conditioning temperature in the room was just right. Lin Cheng didn't say anything else and just ate seriously. After he was full, he lay down on the chair and burped.

"Happy." He couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Wanyue's cooking was really delicious, at the level of a hotel chef. It seemed that because of Lin Cheng's praise, Xu Wanyue was quite happy. She stood up to clean up the dishes and went to the kitchen. On the way, the chopsticks suddenly fell. She put down the dishes and bent down to pick them up. The jeans squeezed her snow-white buttocks. Lin Cheng took a look and couldn't bear to look away. Fortunately, Xu Wanyue didn't notice it. He went to the kitchen. Soon Lin Cheng heard the sound of washing dishes. He followed and wanted to help. He heard Xu Wanyue mumbling, "You go watch TV, it's okay."

When Xu Wanyue came out of the kitchen, she let down her tied hair. Lin Cheng looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Are you and your sister like this usually?"
