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

"He must have bullied other girls like this often..."

Jiang Li's guess was quite right, so Lin Cheng had no power to refute it. After a while, Jiang Li released her hand that was holding his wrist and moved closer, "Kisskiss."

Her lips touched Lin Cheng's lips lightly, but after a while she didn't stop there, she kissed from his lips to his neck and chest, then sat up a little and tucked the hair on her cheek behind her ear. After a while she suddenly thought of something, and came over and stretched out her hand to cover Lin Cheng's eyes, "Can you please stop looking at me?"

"not good."

"Don't look at me...it's so embarrassing..."

"so cute."

When shame is pushed to a certain limit, it will break down.

After a while, Jiang Li opened her pink lips slightly and looked into Lin Cheng's eyes. Her eyes were dim and her throat rolled slightly. But seeing that Lin Cheng was still staring at her, she rushed over and covered Lin Cheng's eyes, her voice trembling, "You didn't even praise me..."

"Um?"

"You want to praise me for being a good boy..."

"Okay, Miss Jiang Li, you are so cute."

Lin Cheng held her gently in his arms. Jiang Li stayed in his arms for a long time before she slowly broke free and whispered, "I'm going to brush my teeth..."

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

It's time to go to bed.

Jiang Li huddled in Lin Cheng's arms, being held gently by him. She liked to bury her cheek in Lin Cheng's chest and rub it. Lin Cheng held her body, and her body was really soft, as soft as if she had no bones.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Can't sleep..."

"Ok?"

"I can't sleep when I think about your girlfriend being Jiang Lingxue...I feel like a bad guy who ruins other people's feelings."

"She knows you."

"Eh……?"

"I talked to her about you."

"Then she, then she didn't scold me?"

"...Anyway, it must be my fault. She won't blame you." Lin Cheng gently hugged Jiang Li's back, but Jiang Li's face was still worried. Lin Cheng looked down at her, "Hmm?"

"It's alright..."

'how? '

"No, no, it's just... I suddenly feel like I've gone too far." Jiang Li's voice was so soft, "I clearly know that you have a girlfriend... but you still won't leave... I want to cling to you... I hope that one day you'll like me a little more..."

"Blame me." Lin Cheng's fingertips gently pinched Jiang Li's earlobe, "If I had rejected you tactfully at the beginning...would you not have these troubles now?"

"You were rejecting me in a tactful way..." Jiang Li replied in a low voice, "I know everything."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment.

"But... my mom said that it's much easier for girls to chase boys than for boys to chase girls. As long as you are thick-skinned, there will always be a way..."

"Have you ever regretted it?"

"I didn't." Jiang Li answered seriously, "It's just... I'm still scared."

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to continue to pester you..."

"It's better to just go to sleep when you think so much."

"That's right. Anyway, you're still holding me now." Jiang Li moved her body, raised her legs and put them on Lin Cheng's waist again, muttering softly, "But my head is so confused, I can't sleep..."

"Ok?"

"Kissskiss." She raised her head and looked at Lin Cheng again, "You'll feel dizzy if you kiss for too long."

"so what?"

"I can fall asleep if I feel dizzy."

She said this, leaning closer, her petal-like lips warm and soft.

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

The next day.

Lin Cheng accompanied Jiang Li to play the escape room game that she had always wanted to play but was afraid to play. It was just the two of them. Jiang Li huddled beside Lin Cheng the whole time. She would scream in fear, but Lin Cheng seemed indifferent throughout.

After coming out, the two went shopping together again. Lin Cheng also accompanied Jiang Li to a lingerie store and helped her choose lingerie... Although he felt that he was thick-skinned enough, he still felt a little embarrassed throughout the whole process. After coming out, Jiang Li held his hand and laughed happily. In the afternoon, the two went to a bookstore together, ordered a cup of coffee and sat with a book for the whole afternoon. Lin Cheng did not hate reading. When his mind was confused, reading could calm his chaotic thoughts.

Jiang Li will go back to school in the evening.

Lin Cheng sent her to the school gate, but Jiang Li's eyes were full of reluctance. She suddenly asked in a low voice, "When will we meet next time?"

“I’m usually pretty free.”

"Then... hug me." She came closer, and Lin Cheng gently hugged her. After a while, she left Lin Cheng's arms and whispered, "Then I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Lin Cheng stood there and watched her walk in quietly. Jiang Li walked a few steps and turned back quietly. Seeing that he was still standing there, the corners of her lips curled up and she waved at him.

Lin Cheng also waved at her gently, until her figure completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned around, holding the book he bought in the bookstore today. He actually didn't know where to go. Should he go home? But it seemed a little early, it was only eight o'clock in the evening. Should he go to find Lu Xiaoxiao? Or Xu Wanyue? Lin Cheng's mind began to tangle with these inexplicable things, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind, so he decided to go home.

On the way home, Lin Cheng was silently looking at his phone, but he received a friend request from Ji Zhezhi.

Lin Cheng used the alliance's work software to contact Ji Zhezhi and Qin Wutong before. When he retired, he cancelled his account, so naturally his friends were gone. Seeing the application, Lin Cheng asked curiously, "How did you know my contact information?"

“I asked Aunt Lu.

"That's it."

"Are you free now?" Ji Zhezhi asked him.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"I want to exchange sword skills with you."

"Row."

"Just come to my old home. Do you remember the address?"

"Remember, about half an hour."

Lin Cheng went home and rode his motorcycle towards Ji Zhezhi's home. Three years ago, she bought this small villa with the money she earned from exchanging alliance points. After returning from the paradise, she first asked someone to clean up the villa that she had not lived in for three years. As soon as the cleaning was completed yesterday, she moved in again.

Lin Cheng came to the door of the villa, entered the password, and after entering, he walked through a garden where there was a small hot spring pool and a pavilion. Ji Zhezhi was sitting in the pavilion, wearing a white gauze skirt. Half of the moonlight outside the pavilion fell on her snow-white calves.

"Where is Qin Wutong?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

"She's still staying in the hotel."

"She doesn't live with you?"

"I think she's noisy." Ji Zhezhi responded sincerely without hiding anything.

Lin Cheng burst out laughing and looked at Ji Zhezhi in front of him. Ji Zhezhi had already stood up and walked across the cobblestone path. Lin Cheng then noticed that she was not wearing shoes. Her white toes tapped lightly on the ground. She had already walked in front of him, her white dress bathed in moonlight.

"Have you practiced swordplay in the past three years?"

"Almost nothing." Lin Cheng shook his head.

"Then you can't beat me."

Lin Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "So confident?"

Ji Zhezhi's eyes were still calm, and she said softly, "In the first year of these three years, I practiced sword every day with the goal of defeating you."

"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Cheng looked at the tree in the courtyard, picked a branch from it and held it in his hand.

239 Reason

Ji Zhezhi was going to follow Lin Cheng's example and pick off a branch, but Lin Cheng looked at her with a smile and said, "Just use the broken branch."

"You look down on me." Ji Zhezhi looked at him calmly.

"No, I just happened to teach you something new. It's easier for you to hold a sword than a branch."

Ji Zhezhi took out the Zhezhi Sword and held it tightly in her hand. The blade of the Sword had become dull and the wind blew her skirt. The girl under the moon looked like a fairy. She took a step forward, and her cold eyes finally showed some emotion.

Be serious.

Ji Zhezhi was very serious every time she competed with Lin Cheng in sword fighting, but she had never won.

In fact, she couldn't tell exactly when she began to subconsciously pay a lot of attention to the man in front of her, even though she had been indifferent to everyone in the past. Therefore, she had also thought about this problem very seriously, and the conclusion she came to was probably the day he learned the Pure Water Sword Technique overnight and defeated her.

Ji Zhezhi's life in the past has always been simple.

She is the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Her father is the patriarch of the Ji family, and her mother is a doctor from a different family. Because of their special blood relationship, intermarriage between the Ji family and the Qin family is very common. The patriarch of the Ji family is the strongest in swordsmanship in the Ji family, while her mother knows nothing about swordsmanship.

She has shown her inherited talent for swordsmanship since she was young, and is the undisputed number one among the younger generation. Her father is busy with many things on weekdays, and her personality seems to be inherited from her mother, as calm as water and indifferent to many things.

Before she left the Utopia for the first time, her world was very simple. She only had to practice swordplay for an hour every day. No one of her peers could catch up with her swordsmanship. The rest of the time she sat quietly in the yard, counting the peach blossoms in the courtyard, or looking at the texture of the leaves, watching the drifting clouds, and thinking a lot quietly.

She has had a good relationship with Qin Wutong since childhood, because although Qin Wutong is silly, he is not a bad person. Compared with Qin Wutong, other young people are stupid and malicious in Ji Zhezhi's eyes.

When her peers were secretly holding hands and falling in love, she just watched silently, as if she was watching two restless monkeys. Therefore, she hated all the men who wanted to provoke her. Of course... no man dared to provoke her.

Later, she followed the orders of the Ji family and came to a larger world, where she formed a team with Qin Wutong to fight against natural disasters and met the guy named Siming.

Although he was wearing a mask at that time, in Ji Zhezhi's eyes, many things were not difficult to guess. Siming should not be very old, perhaps the same age as them. Although his eyes were always cold on weekdays, his underlying tone was gentle.

From the first moment he saw their eyes, Ji Zhezhi knew that they were not the same kind of people.

Ji Zhezhi didn't like the gentleness in his eyes at first. It was because of the gentleness in his eyes that Qin Wutong could pester him all day long to do all kinds of boring things. And because he was gentle and not good at refusing, wouldn't he feel bored? Or was it because he was eager to make a move on Qin Wutong? After all, Siming secretly glanced at Qin Wutong's thighs several times... Such little glances were also seen by Ji Zhezhi.

So at that time, she had no curiosity or interest in Siming. Even though they were teammates fighting side by side, they might just be strangers who would go their separate ways after being together for a while.

Her real curiosity might have come from the day when Qin Wutong defeated her in the competition.

In fact, Qin Wutong’s guess was right. She couldn’t sleep that night and practiced sword-fighting all night. She couldn’t figure out how Qin Wutong had an epiphany and how he defeated her. She practiced sword-fighting all night but couldn’t find a way to break the spell, so she began to think of reasons and finally found Siming and learned the truth... So she taught him the Ji family sword-fighting skills and learned a stronger Ji family sword-fighting skill from him.

After defeating Qin Wutong again, Ji Zhezhi's heart finally settled down, but from that moment on, she suddenly began to desire to defeat Siming, to defeat this man whose talent was far greater than hers.

She had not practiced swordplay very hard over the years because she did not need to and everyone knew that she would be the best swordsman in the Ji family in the future. But this time she met a man who was more talented than her, and the obsession with the sword, which she had almost given up, was aroused again at this moment.

But during the days of sword practice that followed, she felt for the first time...frustration.

No matter how hard she tried, no matter how many hours she practiced sword, she could not successfully defeat Siming once. The feeling of failure made her suffer from insomnia almost all night, so she began to hate Siming.

She hated this fool with gentle eyes and who was not good at saying no.

So she suddenly wanted to play with him.

She began to invite him to her house late at night to practice swordplay, and deliberately wore a light gauze skirt. When she saw his eyes full of surprise and admiration that she could not conceal, her heart found a moment of peace. Even if she could not win in swordplay, could she not win in other areas?

Qin Wutong, that stupid guy, was like a silly roe deer, completely unreserved in front of him, but he was always indifferent. But she didn't have to do anything, and Siming seemed to have already regarded her as a very important friend... The subtle sense of accomplishment that came from this made her feel happy.

At that time, Qin Wutong always mentioned Siming's name when they were together, but she didn't know that Siming often met her at night, and that they often gave each other gifts. The little secret between them made Ji Zhezhi particularly happy every time she heard Qin Wutong mention Siming in front of her, and the evil taste in her heart made her particularly happy.

But she still had no feelings for Siming. She just hated this guy and thought it was fun to play with him. She only needed to spend a little time to gain this guy's deep friendship, but Qin Wutong tried her best, and her relationship with him was still just that of ordinary friends. The sense of accomplishment brought by this made her very happy for a time, and she never felt any guilt.

This world has always been particularly boring, and the same goes for relationships between people. It is nothing more than a transaction in which each person holds a chip. Everyone wants to get the most return with the least effort. This is the nature of greed. She knows this, but she enjoys it.

Until that day, when their team of three was facing Lei Ze, the thunder caused by Lei Ze's rage before his death locked onto her, and there was no escape. The world in front of her was only purple lightning... Ji Zhezhi had never thought about when she would die, and never felt that she would be afraid of death... But when this day seemed to be really coming, she found that she could not muster any strength, and the coldness spread from her bones to her body.

She even felt the wetness and heat coming from her buttocks. It turned out that death was such a terrifying thing.

But at that moment, the guy who she always thought was hopelessly stupid and who was played in the palm of her hand appeared in front of her.

She saw the dazzling lightning eroding the energy he used to protect himself, saw the lightning jumping on his skin, saw his tense muscles, and saw his eyes.

She couldn't describe that look, it was hard to put it into words, it seemed like it still had a gentle undertone, but with a hint of anger and ferocity.

The Lei Yao inscription that locked onto her after Lei Ze's death was modified by him using the special ability of destiny and transferred to his body. He blocked the thunder tribulation for her, but the price was that everything in his body was shattered and reassembled by the thunder.

The healing ability user of the alliance tried hard for a day and a night, barely able to eliminate the lightning that was still flashing on his body and keep him alive. She sat beside the bed all night, waiting for him to wake up, and their eyes met.

She had been thinking all night about what the guy would say as his first words when he woke up.

Soon she heard the answer too.

"As long as you're okay."

...How can there be such stupid people in this world?
