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

"Yeah, but it seems like I've spoiled that guy a bit."

"I'm so lucky to have a sister like you."

Xu Wanyue didn't know what to say, so she just smiled. She picked up her sweatshirt and looked at Lin Cheng, "Then I'll go home first?"

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, it's time to go back..." Xu Wanyue's expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll give you a ride."

"No need, it's just a few steps away." Xu Wanyue shook her head, took off the hairband on her wrist and tied her hair up again. Lin Cheng just looked at her quietly. The girl's hair-tying action inexplicably gave people a gentle feeling.

Xu Wanyue seemed to suddenly think of something. "I noticed that you bought a lot of instant noodles at home. You can't eat instant noodles too often. It's very bad for your health. The toxicity of a bucket of instant noodles takes seven weeks to disappear..."

"The rumor has already been dispelled."

"It's not good for your health anyway, it's full of oil and salt."

"I also order takeout occasionally." Lin Cheng inexplicably felt that he was now being beaten to stand at attention. It was strange, what was going on with this inexplicable feeling of guilt?

"Eating takeout food is not good for your health. The environments where people eat takeout food are often very dirty."

"I can't cook either..." Lin Cheng lied quietly.

Xu Wanyue hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but at this moment her fingertips were pinching the hem of her clothes, as if she was a little hesitant. Lin Cheng was always good at observing her expression and pressed her further, "How about...if you have time, teach me how to cook?"

Xu Wanyue was stunned at first, then nodded gently, "Okay, then... let's start from tomorrow."

"Okay, bye, be careful on the road."

"OK."

Xu Wanyue put on her sweatshirt, walked to the door, gently touched the head of the cat lying on the refrigerator, and said softly, "Sister is home, I will come to play with you next time."

After she left, Lin Cheng lay down on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling for several seconds.

...Why do I suddenly envy her sister so much? Damn it, she can live a good life alone.

26 Cat and Bird

evening.

Lin Cheng looked at the instant noodles he had placed on the computer desk and suddenly began to regret why he did not save two pieces of braised pork for lunch.

The instant noodles were in braised beef flavor, which was his favorite flavor. He clearly felt happy every time he ate it, but why did he feel so bland now?

This time I didn't even feel like drinking soup.

After eating, Lin Cheng ran to the bed and rolled over and over several times.

D!

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

The next day, early morning.

Lin Cheng woke up in a daze, feeling very hungry. He had lived here for more than ten years. There was a breakfast shop downstairs that sold steamed buns, rice rolls, and noodles. He had eaten at each of these shops more than two hundred times. The pancake shop was the most recent to open, so he ate more. The clock on the wall pointed to half past eight, and Lin Cheng thought he should go get something to eat.

So he went downstairs and bought a pancake.

Why? Why is it that even the pancakes don’t smell good anymore?

After eating the pancake, Lin Cheng lay down on the bed. This year's spring seemed a little short. The weather was getting warmer. In another month, the peach blossoms would no longer be seen. Spring was the season for cats and dogs to go into heat. Fortunately, Lin Cheng lived on the 13th floor and could not hear the howling of the wild cats in the community downstairs.

He lay there until eleven o'clock, when Lin Cheng heard a knock on the door. He swore that this was the fastest time he had ever opened the door. Even when getting a takeaway, he was not so proactive. After the door opened, Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue in front of him and was stunned for about three seconds.

"What are you...?"

"Hmm?" Xu Wanyue tilted her head.

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

Lin Cheng was surprised because Xu Wanyue was wearing a maid dress.

The dress is based on black and white, with a slightly low-cut neckline that reveals a little bit of soft flesh on the chest. The white lace skirt just falls to the knees. The slender calves under the skirt are wearing slightly transparent white silk calf socks and a pair of thick-heeled black high-heeled shoes. There is a white lace headband on the black hair.

It is a very serious COS costume, not a sexy maid that will be torn apart easily.

"Doesn't it look good?" Xu Wanyue lifted the hem of her skirt slightly with her fingers.

"It's quite nice, but... why are you wearing this?" Lin Cheng was a little slow to react, and Xu Wanyue walked in, looking at him innocently and strangely, "Because it looks good."

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Lin Cheng reacted, the reason was so simple, because... it looked good.

Xu Wanyue sat on a chair at the side, bent down to take off her thick-heeled black high heels, "I'm still a little unaccustomed to high heels... It's so tiring to walk."

"I'm so tired... why do I need to wear it?"

"Because they look good in high heels." Xu Wanyue answered innocently. After taking off her shoes, her white and tender feet wrapped in transparent white silk were exposed. She had a slender frame and beautiful hands, so her feet looked good too. Lin Cheng handed her the slippers considerately. She put on the slippers, stood up, and looked up at him. "What dish do you want to learn?"

"I want to eat garlic pork, boiled pork slices, stewed beef brisket with potatoes and spicy chicken."

“These are difficult for beginners.”

"I want to eat. I'm so hungry." Lin Cheng looked at her eagerly.

"Well, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. You can choose three by yourself?" Xu Wanyue's voice sounded like she was coaxing a child.

"Boiled pork slices with garlic sauce, garlic sauce and lettuce."

"Then come downstairs with me to buy some groceries?"

"it is good."

....................................　

So Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue went downstairs to the supermarket downstairs. Xu Wanyue taught Lin Cheng how to choose ingredients. Along the way, Lin Cheng received a lot of strange looks, because Xu Wanyue's maid dress was a little strange, but Xu Wanyue seemed to be unaware of it. After buying the vegetables, she went upstairs with him. She told Lin Cheng how to cut the tenderloin and how to prepare the sauce for the mashed garlic pork... But Lin Cheng's eyes seemed to only stay on her slender and delicate collarbone, where beads of sweat were slightly appearing.

Because there is no air conditioning in the kitchen.

"Are you listening to me?"

"To!"

"..." Xu Wanyue gave him a gloomy look, "You're not really learning how to cook. Go out, we'll have dinner in half an hour."

So Lin Cheng was driven out of the kitchen. He turned on the air conditioner in the living room and left the kitchen door open so that Xu Wanyue would be cooler. He lay on the sofa and watched Kamen Rider. There were white clouds outside the window and a pleasant aroma gradually came. Xu Wanyue walked out of the kitchen, "It's done. Help me take off my apron."

She had her back to Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng walked behind her and found that she seemed to have accidentally tied a knot. Lin Cheng began to study how to untie the knot. Sometimes he was particularly impatient. For example, he usually chose to tear open the takeaway bag directly. It was still a bit difficult for him to untie the knot. When he looked up inadvertently, Lin Cheng seemed to smell a faint fragrance coming from her hair.

“Her hair smells so good.”

"Hehe, this is the shampoo that a beauty blogger just recommended. It has the scent of sage and sea salt. Isn't it sweet?" Xu Wanyue turned her back to Lin Cheng, her slender waist straight. After a while, she muttered softly, "You haven't untied it yet? How stupid."

"You tied the knot yourself, okay?"

"The apron is so small. If I don't tie it tightly, it will get dirty."

As they were talking, Lin Cheng finally untied her apron and served the dishes with her. They walked out of the kitchen. The air conditioner in the living room was on full blast. Xu Wanyue sat opposite him, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at Lin Cheng, "Have you washed your hands?"

"I've washed it." Lin Cheng spread out his hands for her to check.

"Eat." Xu Wanyue smiled.

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

After eating, Lin Cheng collapsed on the chair again. Xu Wanyue cleaned up the dishes. He felt a little guilty. Shouldn't he wash the dishes? But he really didn't want to move. Fortunately, Xu Wanyue didn't ask him to wash the dishes. She went to the kitchen with the dishes. Lin Cheng heard the sound of running water and her humming.

The song she was humming was a song that Lin Cheng was quite familiar with. The person singing this song was a super popular idol. Oh no, to be more precise, she was a big star. She debuted as a singer and was recently preparing to enter the film and television industry. After all, she had an excessively beautiful face.

Lin Cheng looked back inadvertently. The sunlight from the kitchen window fell on her porcelain-white collarbone and her slender arms. Her skirt was not long, and the slender calves under the skirt were really tempting.

"Do you have much cat food at home?" Xu Wanyue suddenly asked, as if she had noticed Lin Cheng's gaze.

"Huh? I feed them all canned food, and I still have three boxes."

"Can you share some with the cats downstairs?"

"all right."

"Then please come downstairs with me. When I came here, I saw several cats calling to me..."

"Okay."

After washing the dishes, Xu Wanyue came to Lin Cheng. She was still wearing her pink slippers and went downstairs with Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng had six or seven cans of wet food for cats in his hands. There had always been some stray cats in the neighborhood, and what surprised Xu Wanyue was that as soon as Lin Cheng appeared downstairs and waved his hand, the cats hiding in the bushes and corners meowed at each other, and then all came over.

"Eh? They were just barking at me just now, but they didn't dare to come over." Xu Wanyue was stunned.

"Stray cats are very alert." Lin Cheng opened the cans one by one and muttered to the five cats in front of him, "Line up, don't rush."

The cats were waiting obediently and eating the canned food. Xu Wanyue thought the scene in front of her was magical. "Can you talk to cats?"

"No, I just feed them when I have nothing to do, so they are familiar with me."

Xu Wanyue squatted down beside Lin Cheng and watched the cat eat the canned food with Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng glanced at her inadvertently and felt that her eyes were full of unexpected innocence.

Most stray cats cannot survive the winter. Over the years, Lin Cheng has seen batches of stray cats coming and going. He would occasionally feed them since his family had more canned food than they could finish. There were also other people in the community who would occasionally feed the cats.

"You are so caring." Xu Wanyue suddenly looked at him.

"Feeding stray cats will cause more deaths than birds. To the birds, I am a super villain. Have you ever learned about wolves and deer in class when you were a child?" Lin Cheng suddenly said.

"I forgot." Xu Wanyue quietly stuck out her tongue, "But cats are very cute."

“…” Lin Cheng was speechless.

After the cats finished eating the canned food, Lin Cheng collected the cans and threw them away. The cats went back to the distance. Lin Cheng looked at the pink slippers on Xu Wanyue's feet. She had to go upstairs with him. Lin Cheng had already started thinking about how to trick her into staying and making another dinner.

When Xu Wanyue returned home, Lin Cheng closed the door. He had been thinking about something all the way, but he couldn't think of any good idea. When he closed the door, Xu Wanyue, who had just gone to pick up her shoes, was stunned.

Lin Cheng looked at her from top to bottom.

Xu Wanyue's eyes suddenly became alert. She took a step back and said nothing.

Lin Cheng's eyes moved upwards and fell on her cheek. Before he could speak, Xu Wanyue's nose twitched slightly, "Are you thinking of some evil idea in your head?"

"No." Lin Cheng answered innocently and looked out the window. "Look... isn't it... still quite hot outside...?"

"A little bit." Xu Wanyue nodded, "I want to go home and watch videos."

"Do you want to... watch Kamen Rider together?"

"I'm not a child anymore. I don't want to watch Kamen Rider anymore." Xu Wanyue raised her head slightly.

"How about... we watch an idol drama together?"

Xu Wanyue looked at him strangely, "Why do we have to watch it together?"

"Don't you think... watching TV... alone... is boring?"

Xu Wanyue's eyes were still a little weird. After one second, two seconds, three seconds, she suddenly realized, "I know, you wanted to trick me into staying and making dinner for you."

“…That’s right.”

"If you wash the dishes, yes."

"make a deal."

…It turns out that it would be better to just say it directly.

Lin Cheng returned to his room and turned on the computer. He originally wanted to ask Xu Wanyue if she wanted to watch TV together, but Xu Wanyue was already lying on his bed, putting on headphones and starting to watch various short videos.

"..." Lin Cheng took one last peek at her white silk and turned his gaze back to his computer screen.

Black and white stockings are not as good as my Apex.

27 I'm going to faint

Lin Cheng turned around inadvertently and suddenly found Xu Wanyue sleeping on his bed.

The curtains in the room were drawn and the light was slightly dim. No wonder Xu Wanyue asked him if she could turn off the lights just now. It turned out that she was sleepy. At this moment, her body was slightly curled up, without a quilt covering her. The hem of her skirt was a little messy, revealing a small area of ​​snow-white thigh skin. She didn't know when the white silk on her calves was taken off. Her white and tender toes were slightly curled up, like a bud about to bloom.

Lin Cheng suddenly had a wonderful feeling.

...Ever since he drove the original owner of the pink slippers out of his house, no strange woman has appeared in his house for a long time.

Lin Cheng knew that she was a spy sent by the alliance. Not only that, he even knew the real purpose of Xu Wanyue joining the fruit shop. For a moment, he even suspected that this guy was secretly using a honey trap on him, and that the innocence and cuteness he saw were all illusions? But it seemed that these things were not very important... Even if it was an illusion, it would become true as long as you believed it.
