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

The cute girl suddenly turned into a queen, which still made Lin Cheng a little unpredictable. After all, Qin Wutong was at most a tall girl at that time, her breasts were not as bulging as they are now, and her hips were not as plump and full as they are now. Even when she hugged him just now, Lin Cheng felt a little breathless.

Two hours later, Lin Cheng and she walked to the hotel where she was staying.

Qin Wutong took out the room card and opened the door. Then she lay down on the bed and buried her face in the pillow. The next second, she turned over and said, "Ji Zhezhi is next door."

Lin Chenggang asked Qin Wutong to send a message to Ji Zhezhi, saying that she would come with Lin Cheng and have dinner together in the evening. Ji Zhezhi agreed. Lin Cheng came to the next room and knocked on the door gently. Ji Zhezhi's cold voice came from behind the door, "Who?"

"it's me."

The door opened, and Ji Zhezhi in the room took off her Hanfu. She was wearing a moon-white nightgown that showed off her slender figure, and her neckline revealed her slender and protruding collarbone. Lin Cheng suddenly felt dazed, as if he had traveled back to three years ago. Compared with Qin Wutong's changes, Ji Zhezhi seemed to have not changed at all.

"Let's have dinner together later." Lin Cheng said.

"Well, I just took a shower, wait for me to change clothes." Ji Zhezhi turned around, her hair was still a little wet, Lin Cheng watched her take out a sweater and trousers from the suitcase. At this time, he suddenly realized that when she turned around, her body was against the light, and there seemed to be nothing under her nightgown, and the curves of her slender waist and snow-white buttocks were all exposed in front of him. He quietly moved his eyes away and heard Ji Zhezhi softly ask, "Qin Wutong didn't quarrel with your girlfriend?"

"No...but it does feel bad."

After a few seconds, Lin Cheng was suddenly startled, "Why did you guess this?"

Ji Zhezhi looked back, "Is it hard to guess?"

Lin Cheng was speechless for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Ji Zhezhi sat on the bed, her waist was always straight, and the girl turned her head towards him, "Do you want to close your eyes, or go out and wait for me?"

Lin Cheng's choice was of course to close the door and leave, but Ji Zhezhi really trusted him, and he inexplicably felt flattered. In the years when he knew Ji Zhezhi, he had the impression that Ji Zhezhi was indifferent to everyone, and there was always a hint of coldness in her eyes, but it seemed that she was relatively gentle to him, which always made Lin Cheng at that time have one of the three major illusions in his life - did she like me?

Later, Lin Cheng classified it as an illusion, and felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.

Ten minutes later, the door opened again. Ji Zhezhi had changed into a white sweater and loose trousers, with a pair of white sneakers on her ankles. She returned to the mirror and slowly blew her hair with a hair dryer. However, it was actually very troublesome to blow a girl's long hair by herself. Lin Cheng came behind her, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I help you blow it?"

Ji Zhezhi obediently handed her the hair dryer. She sat there quietly, like a beautiful porcelain doll, letting Lin Cheng hold her dark and smooth hair. Lin Cheng blew her hair until it was 80% dry, and let the rest dry naturally, which was better for her hair.

Ji Zhezhi stood up, turned around, and said softly, "Thank you."

"It's nothing." Lin Cheng looked at Ji Zhezhi in front of him. Her eyes seemed to be still so cold. There had been no change in three years. He couldn't help but wonder, would she be like this in the future? Would she meet someone she liked? Would her eyes still be so cold then? Would she blush? Or would she smile?

Ji Zhezhi suddenly said softly, "I always see in movies that friends you haven't seen for a long time should hug each other."

"But your girlfriend is around during the day, and I'm always worried that she will think too much. So now... do you want to hug me?"

Her voice was cold and calm. She stood there obediently, with no intention of taking a step forward. Lin Cheng felt that he should be more generous, so he came to Ji Zhezhi. Ji Zhezhi slowly raised her hand, leaned forward slightly, and then fell into his arms.

Although her expression was always cold, her body was actually very warm, and her soft sweater gave her a soft touch. Lin Cheng sniffed the faint fragrance on her body, which seemed to have never changed in the past three years. It was like a faint scent of tea, but he had bought so many perfume samples, but none of them was the same as this one.

"Where does your scent come from? I've always wanted to ask."

In the past, Lin Cheng could never ask such questions, because at that time his character was still that of a cool and aloof boy, and he always felt that such questions were weird.

"I haven't used sachets or anything like that. Maybe you smelled the scent of shower gel."

"It's not shower gel or shampoo, but it just smells good. It's always there."

"is it?"

"Ah."

"Why have I never smelled it before? Come closer and smell it again."

Lin Cheng subconsciously moved closer, his nose almost touching her snow-white, slender neck. He was sure he smelled a special, light fragrance, "Somewhat like the scent of tea."

"Maybe I drink too much tea on a daily basis." Ji Zhezhi said softly.

"It's possible." Lin Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly realized that he was so close to Ji Zhezhi that he could even see the blue veins under her neck clearly. Her skin was really white.

In a trance, he heard Ji Zhezhi's cold voice again in his ears, "Have you smelled enough?"

At this time, Lin Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, loosened his arms around Ji Zhezhi, and looked a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I was distracted."

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Ji Zhezhi's voice was still faint. Lin Xiaocheng was a little embarrassed. He always felt as if he was deliberately taking advantage of Ji Zhezhi. Although this guy didn't seem to be angry, he was just... asking purely.

Because she always had no expression, Lin Cheng could never figure out what she was thinking.

"Let's go then. I've booked a restaurant."

"Okay." Ji Zhezhi followed Lin Cheng out of the room and came to Qin Wutong's room. Qin Wutong jumped up from the bed lively. She looked at Ji Zhezhi who had just taken a bath and asked, "Why don't you wear your beautiful clothes?"

"It's cold." Ji Zhezhi replied indifferently.

"Then why are you wearing it in the morning?"

"I didn't know it would be so cold before I went out." Ji Zhezhi looked at Qin Wutong's snowy calves under her gauze skirt, "I suggest you wear more clothes too."

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Qin Wutong swung her white and tender legs beside the bed, then looked at Lin Cheng, "Which do you think looks better, short boots or high heels?"

"I have the impression that you couldn't even walk when you wore high heels before." Lin Cheng had some memory of this. Lin Cheng gave her a pair of high heels as a gift on her 18th birthday, but unfortunately, they looked good but were not practical. Qin Wutong lost interest after walking a few steps in them. She couldn't understand why there should be such an evil invention in this world.

"But it does look pretty good, I've mastered it!" Qin Wutong said as she was about to prove to Lin Cheng that the pair of shoes that Lin Cheng gave her when she was 18 years old were still nearly new. She put on white boat socks, put her white and tender feet into the shoes little by little, then stood up and walked a few steps for Lin Cheng. It seemed like that, the high heels made her calves look even more slender and long, and she must have looked very majestic when she wasn't talking.

In Lin Cheng's mind, she is a little girl with a sexy body and delicate features, but she is stupid and always makes noises when she opens her mouth.

Lin Cheng had already booked a fusion restaurant. Although there was no super large roasted lamb leg, there were roasted lamb chops and some exquisite stir-fried dishes. Qin Wutong ordered a lot of roasted lamb chops, but she was most concerned about the wine. When Lin Cheng heard her ask the waiter to bring three bottles of 53-proof liquor, he knew that he might not be able to walk back with a smile tonight.

The fact that Qin Wutong is an alcoholic is not just talk.

Ji Zhezhi had told him before that the Qin family had always had a tough family tradition because of their sword practice. Qin Wutong could drink at the table since she was young, and it was even more amazing when she was a teenager. She could take turns to drink with the elders at the table. Qin Wutong's lively personality was actually very favored in the Qin family. After all, she was just a little noisy and didn't have any bad intentions.

Lin Cheng can use energy to dissolve alcohol, but that would mean there would be no point in drinking, so drinking between them is a gentleman's game, and whoever uses energy to dissolve it is a dog.

Ji Zhezhi never drinks alcohol. Three years ago, she was always the one who sent Qin Wutong home after she got drunk. It was basically like this when the three of them had dinner together. Lin Cheng and Qin Wutong drank one glass after another while Ji Zhezhi silently ate two dishes and was full. She looked at the two of them quietly with deep and cold eyes, and then waited for Qin Wutong to send her home after she drank too much. If Lin Cheng drank too much that night, she would ask Lin Cheng, who was with her to send Qin Wutong home, to drink two cups of tea.

After drinking a bottle of white wine, Qin Wutong's cheeks turned slightly red and Lin Cheng felt dizzy.

After two bottles of liquor, the Qin Wutong in front of Lin Cheng became two. Qin Wutong became more and more excited as she drank. She even lifted up her sleeves, as if Lin Cheng had to have a fight with her tonight.

Before finishing the third bottle of liquor, Qin Wutong suddenly fell headfirst onto the table.

Lin Cheng started laughing, "No more? No more?"

The next second he started coughing because he laughed too hard, and his stomach was churning. Ji Zhezhi was sitting not far from him. She suddenly reached out her hand, gently pinched Lin Cheng's chin with her fingertips, then extended her index finger and lightly tapped Lin Cheng's lips.

"Okay, no more drinking."

Her voice was cold, and this time it was calm, but it contained a slight commanding tone.

235 Hell

Lin Cheng's mind suddenly became clear for a moment.

Ji Zhezhi's fingers were slightly cold. She glanced at Qin Wutong, whose head had fallen on the table, and then looked at Lin Cheng, "Do you listen to me?"

"Listen." Lin Cheng nodded obediently, always feeling that Ji Zhezhi's words in front of him were a bit threatening.

"That's good." Ji Zhezhi picked up the wine glass in front of him and brought it close to her pink lips. Lin Cheng saw that there was still half a glass left, but she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp easily.

Lin Cheng's eyes widened. He had known her for three years and had never seen her drink. This was the first time.

Ji Zhezhi naturally saw the surprise in his eyes, "Surprised?"

Lin Cheng nodded repeatedly.

"I drink a little occasionally." Ji Zhezhi stood up, walked to Qin Wutong and patted her shoulder, but she didn't respond at all. She had no choice but to reach out and press her hand on the top of Qin Wutong's head. Then Qin Wutong slowly stood up, her eyes still closed. In Lin Cheng's eyes, an invisible thread entangled Qin Wutong's body, like a puppet, and took Qin Wutong away.

This is Ji Zhezhi's ability, she named it "Pulling Thread"

Neither the Ji family nor the Qin family really cares about the nature of the ability. All they want is the energy brought by the ability. However, Ji Zhezhi's ability is indeed very convenient for sending people home.

Lin Cheng walked unsteadily.

Ji Zhezhi said calmly, "Do you need me to help you?"

"No, no, I can walk..." Lin Cheng shook his head, but everything in his sight was indeed spinning. The three of them came to the side of the road to wait for a taxi. Lin Cheng was almost unable to stand steadily, and he unconsciously wanted to find something to lean on, and then he subconsciously hugged Ji Zhezhi's shoulders in front of him.

Ji Zhezhi remained motionless with a calm expression. After a while, Lin Cheng's voice came from behind him, "So you blush when you drink."

"It's not because of drinking."

"What's that because? Hahaha."

"Because your hand is on my chest." Ji Zhezhi answered coldly. Lin Cheng was stunned. The next moment he suddenly realized that his hands were also entangled by invisible threads and were forced to lift them up. His two hands were placed on Ji Zhezhi's shoulders. He was so quiet that he couldn't move at all.

Lin Cheng's mind suddenly became much clearer, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry!"

"You can apologize when you are sober." Ji Zhezhi's voice was neither salty nor bland. She didn't say forgiveness nor did she seem angry. Lin Cheng always wondered what could have touched her. This curiosity had accompanied him for a long time.

Soon the taxi arrived, Ji Zhezhi took Qin Wutong to the back seat, while Lin Cheng sat in the front seat. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the hotel. The three of them got off the car, and Ji Zhezhi took Qin Wutong to the hotel like a corpse, then let her get on the bed and covered herself with a blanket. She then looked back at Lin Cheng behind her.

"Let's go, let's take you home."

"I can go home by myself..."

Ji Zhezhi didn't say anything, just looked at him indifferently. One second, two seconds, three seconds, Lin Cheng lowered his head timidly. It is always difficult for a drunk person to prove to others that he is not drunk. I think Ji Zhezhi took this into consideration, so he followed Ji Zhezhi obediently.

"Why do you always bump into me?"

"I can't stand steadily..." Lin Cheng felt that this was probably the most alcohol he had drunk in the past two years.

The next second, he suddenly realized that his hand seemed to be held by something.

It was not the invisible silk thread, but the slightly warm little hand of the girl beside him.

So warm.

Lin Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Zhezhi's profile, but Ji Zhezhi didn't even look at him. She was looking at the taxi in the distance seriously. The bright lights fell into her dark pupils. The girl's profile was also illuminated, and the faint light reflected the light pink on her cheeks.

So he said nothing, like a good kid who had done something wrong, until the taxi arrived and Lin Cheng told him the address. As soon as he closed his eyes, his head was spinning. He opened the car window and the wind blew in. Suddenly, the girl gently put her arm around his shoulders and said, "Go to sleep."

So Lin Cheng's body fell limply on her legs, and Ji Zhezhi's hands gently covered his eyes to block the light from the window for him.

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

Fifteen minutes later.

Ji Zhezhi and Lin Cheng arrived, but Lin Cheng had fallen asleep on Ji Zhezhi's legs. She had to gently shake Lin Cheng's shoulders. Lin Cheng woke up dazedly and got out of the car with her. Then Ji Zhezhi gently grabbed her hand again. She asked, "Which building, which floor?"

Lin Cheng told her the address, and then she led him upstairs and home. When they reached the door, Ji Zhezhi reached into his trouser pocket and took out the key. She opened the door and dragged Lin Cheng in dazely. As soon as he got on the bed, Lin Cheng closed his eyes. Ji Zhezhi sat beside the bed and said quietly, "Lie down for a while. I'll go boil some water."

She quickly found the kettle. Lin Cheng had fallen asleep when she was boiling water. Ji Zhezhi was able to begin observing Lin Cheng's room. Lin Cheng's room was a little messy. Ji Zhezhi's [pulling string] quietly opened the cabinet in Lin Cheng's room and saw some miscellaneous items in Lin Cheng's home. There was a special small box that made Ji Zhezhi very curious. The small box was locked, but it was not difficult to open the box with the [pulling string]. After the box was opened, she looked at the small clips, candles, () balls, and tails in the box and was stunned for a moment.

It's not that she knows nothing. Utopia was connected to the Internet more than ten years ago, and she can learn many things she wants to know on the Internet.

She put the box back in place and turned to look at Lin Cheng who was lying on the bed. Lin Cheng had turned sideways and continued to sleep with his pillow in his arms. Ji Zhezhi returned to the living room, took off her shoes and socks first, and stepped her fair and tender feet into the pair of pink slippers. Then she poured the boiled water into the cup. She turned off the lights in the room and sat quietly beside the bed without saying a word.

I don't know how long it has been? An hour? Or maybe two hours. Lin Cheng suddenly felt very thirsty. He sat up dazedly and tried to find a source of water. Then a hand gently rested on his hand and asked, "Water?"

"I'm so thirsty." Lin Cheng answered subconsciously, and then the cup of water was handed to him. Lin Cheng picked up the cup and drank the water in big gulps. Finally, he was a little more awake. He suddenly came to his senses and looked at the darkness in front of him, "You... why are you still here?"

"You asked me to stay with you before you went to bed."

"Did I say that?"

"Yeah." Ji Zhezhi replied indifferently.

Lin Cheng was extremely embarrassed for a moment. It was too bad. He must never drink so much again. Ji Zhezhi's voice rang in his ears, "Are you okay?"

"much better."

"Then can I go home?"

"of course."

"But you can't get a taxi now." Ji Zhezhi said lightly.

"Just call a ride-hailing car."

“I don’t know how to use it.”

"I'll help you, I'll help you..." Lin Cheng sat up in a daze and took Ji Zhezhi's phone, but everything he saw on the phone was blurry and he couldn't see clearly at all. He poked and tapped on the phone for a long time, but suddenly saw a photo that had just been taken.

The photo is a selfie. The girl is standing quietly under the street light. There is a person hanging on her shoulders from behind, with his hand resting on her chest.

"This is……"

"Preserve evidence of the crime to avoid the possibility of pretending to be dead and denying the crime after sobering up."

"I was wrong."

"Save your apology for when you sober up." Ji Zhezhi said the same thing as before. She looked at Lin Cheng who was sitting on the bed in the dark and said, "You go to sleep. I'll sit here until dawn and you can take a taxi back."

Perhaps because he was drunk, Lin Cheng fell asleep immediately, while Ji Zhezhi put on headphones and sat by the bed to watch a TV series. An hour later, Lin Cheng woke up again in a daze. Seeing that she was still watching, he asked, "Are you tired of sitting there?"

"A little."

"Why don't you sleep on the bed for a while and I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Just sleep."
