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

Lin Cheng said he was going to the bathroom, and then he slipped away when they were not paying attention. His car was parked downstairs. After knocking his head to clear his mind a little, he rode away on his motorcycle. On the way home, the street lights gradually dimmed and there were no people around. When he arrived at the door of his house, he looked at the time and it was already three o'clock in the morning.

And Xia Ning had fallen asleep sitting at the door of his house.

She was wearing a brown blazer, a light brown plaid skirt, grey over-the-knee thermal socks, and small leather shoes. Her silver hair fell on her shoulders. She looked very peaceful in her sleep, but she was probably sleeping lightly. When she heard footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Lin Cheng standing in front of her, looking down at her.

Xia Ning looked a little aggrieved, "I thought you wouldn't be coming back tonight."

"Don't you know to go home and sleep early?" Lin Cheng complained.

"The less you care about me and the more you ignore me, the more I will cling to you. Humph, I'm going to piss you off to death." Xia Ning stood up, grabbed the corner of his clothes, stood in front of him, and looked up into his eyes.

"Let me perform a magic trick for you." Lin Cheng suddenly thought of something, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, then put his hands together, covered them with the handkerchief, rubbed them for a while, and conjured up a red rose.

"The rose was hidden in the palm of your hand when you showed me the handkerchief just now." Xia Ning sneered.

"Oh?" This was the first time that Lin Cheng's magic trick was exposed. He smiled and looked at Xia Ning, "The answer is correct. The rose is your reward."

He handed the rose to Xia Ning, but when Xia Ning stretched out her hand, he pulled it back. Lin Cheng took out a nail clipper, cut the rose branch to only a small piece of five centimeters, and used the frosted part to smooth out the thorns.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Ning looked at him warily.

"Did I ever warn you that if you come to me, I'll spank you so hard you can't get out of bed?"

"So..." Xia Ning subconsciously reached out and covered her little butt.

Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and lifted up her snow-white chin, then lowered his head to look at her, "Put it on, and I won't beat you."

"Put it... on?"

"Yes."

"You, you, you...you're going too far...I'll really be angry, I'll really..."

"Now, right now, do you hear me?"

"Who do you think I am? What do you think I am? What do you think I am?"

"Why can't you just be obedient?"

Lin Cheng's breath fell on her cheek. She looked into his eyes, as if no matter how many times she looked carefully, she could not penetrate the fog and see the true intentions in this guy's heart. She thought countless times that this guy was a lunatic, but why did she always think of him at night? The more she was ignored, the more she longed for him. She imagined that if he was more enthusiastic towards her, her enthusiasm would gradually fade away.

But she had no time to fantasize at this moment, as Lin Cheng had already stuffed the rose with the cut branches into her palm.

Her palms were full of sweat, but she subconsciously grasped the rose.

Their eyes met, the air was scorching, lightning flashed, their breathing stagnated, and the suffocating feeling from lack of oxygen made her almost dizzy. The next second when her cheeks flushed to the extreme, she slowly lowered her head and whispered, "Then, then... first, go inside..."

247 Sour

Lin Cheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and stared at Xia Ning without blinking.

Xia Ning looked back and stared at him with grievance.

"Don't look at me like that. You're such a jerk. I deleted you as a friend but you still have to wait for me at the door... I'll only give you thirty seconds."

"You scold me?!"

"Twenty-nine."

Xia Ning's breathing became rapid.

When Lin Cheng counted to the tenth second, she turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng, "Help me..."

But Lin Cheng didn't respond to her, he just counted down. When his countdown was over, Xia Ning still couldn't do it. Her eyes were red as she looked at Lin Cheng, but this guy's eyes were so cold.

Lin Cheng stood up and walked towards her step by step. Xia Ning held her breath, and her palms were full of sweat as she held the rose. Lin Cheng looked at her stiff body, stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder.

"I'm obviously bullying you, but you seem to be enjoying it completely."

"Who, who's enjoying this? You bastard! Pervert!"

"Then why didn't you resist?" Lin Cheng looked into her eyes, "Why?"

Just as Xia Ning was about to speak, Lin Cheng asked again, but this time his voice was much gentler, and seemed to carry a hint of helplessness, "Why?"

Her mind went blank, and she couldn't find a word to respond to Lin Cheng's words.

"Why don't you resist? Why don't you struggle? Why do you know you are being hurt, despised, humiliated...but you subconsciously accept it? It's weird, isn't it?"

"Why?" Xia Ning asked blankly.

"You should ask yourself, not me."

Lin Cheng took the rose back from her hand and threw it into the trash can beside him. Then he pinched Xia Ning's face and said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

Xia Ning followed him into the room in a daze. Lin Cheng took off his coat and lay on the bed. Xia Ning also took off her small suit jacket and the gray over-the-knee socks on her legs and lay down not far from him. Lin Cheng put the classic striped cat between the two of them.

Lin Cheng closed his eyes with peace of mind, but Xia Ning was lying not far from him and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Lin Cheng seemed to hear her sobbing very softly, but he ignored her and didn't ask her until Xia Ning cried herself to sleep. Only then did he fall asleep peacefully.

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

Day 3 of quitting masturbation.

early morning.

When Xia Ning woke up, Lin Cheng was not around. She got out of bed and went to the study next door. She saw Lin Cheng sitting by the window holding a book. She put her hands behind her back and looked at Lin Cheng, "Can I use your toothbrush?"

"I bought disposable ones at home. They're over there in the cupboard. Go get them yourself."

Xia Ning came back from brushing her teeth and washing her face. She stood in front of Lin Cheng and looked at the book he was reading. "What are you reading?"

Lin Cheng showed her the cover of the book.

[Psychological dynamics and adaptive significance of sadomasochism]

Xia Ning's eyes twitched slightly, "You sadist."

"You misunderstood me." Lin Cheng closed the book and put it aside. "It's just that Jiang Lingxue liked to challenge some strange things at that time, so I wanted to study the root cause of her behavior."

"The results of it?"

"In the end, she gave up on the research after reading only a few pages of the book. As long as she liked it, that's fine."

"What does this have to do with you being a perverted sadist?"

"Actually, I don't really like bullying others. I just did it to satisfy Jiang Lingxue's XP." Lin Cheng shrugged innocently, "And I think this behavior can be corrected. It just depends on whether it is necessary to correct it."

He stood up and said, "Would you like some dumplings? We still have some at home."

"eat."

So Lin Cheng went to the kitchen to cook dumplings. The hot dumplings were perfect for breakfast. After eating, Xia Ning lay on the sofa. Her legs were slender and white under her hip skirt. Lin Cheng glanced at her milky white skin.

Seeing Lin Cheng's gaze, she suddenly turned around and said something inexplicable, "Many things cannot be changed after you become an adult."

“Because of this belief, we will never move forward. The only way to change the world is to rely on cognition.”

"That subjective idealism of yours again?"

"You don't believe it, so it doesn't exist." Lin Cheng came to sit next to Xia Ning, "So you came to me, do you want me to accompany you to do something?"

"I don't know, I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I missed you a little."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Unexpectedly, this time Xia Ning admitted it very frankly.

She seemed to be trying hard to face it calmly, but when Lin Cheng looked into her eyes, her flushed cheeks betrayed her. What's more, she looked helpless now, her fingertips twirling the hem of her hip skirt, and she pretended to try hard to look Lin Cheng in the eye.

bluff.

"You couldn't wait to hear that you could get spanked if you came to see me?" Lin Cheng said something rubbish. Xia Ning took a deep breath the next second, but after a few seconds, she replied, "So what?"

"How pitiful." Lin Cheng reached out and ruffled her hair. Xia Ning reached out and pushed his hand away, but the next second Lin Cheng suddenly grabbed her hand and asked her, "If you had a boyfriend, where would you choose for your first date with him?"

This question made Xia Ning ponder for a long time.

"When I go shopping, I want to buy a lot of beautiful dresses and show them to him one by one. If he doesn't praise me for being pretty, I'll punch him."

Lin Cheng grabbed Xia Ning's hand and said, "Let's go."

"Wha, what?"

"I said go."

Before Xia Ning could react, she was pulled up by Lin Cheng. She glanced at Lin Cheng hurriedly, and after a second, she whispered, "Wait for me to put on my shoes and socks..."

Lin Cheng waited quietly at the door for her to put on her shoes and socks, and then walked out with her. Xia Ning always skipped and jumped when she walked beside him, and her steps looked so brisk. Her silver hair was tied into a ponytail. Lin Cheng exerted a mental suggestion force field around the two of them, and people would subconsciously ignore him and Xia Ning. In fact, it was mainly Xia Ning, who was also a household name.

He and Xia Ning went shopping in the mall. As he watched Xia Ning change into beautiful autumn clothes one by one, Lin Cheng gave objective suggestions. They bounced back and forth and shopped for a whole day, but Xia Ning didn't buy more than two pieces in the end. Although she didn't buy many clothes, she was always smiling happily all day.

At noon, the two of them had hotpot together. In the afternoon, they walked around the snack street with milk tea in their hands. In the evening, Lin Cheng and she sat in the park and watched the pigeons running around on the ground. She sat on the small swing, and Lin Cheng pushed her gently from behind. Lin Cheng told her where he had been some time ago, and Xia Ning listened quietly until the evening. They sat by the lake in the park and watched the red sunset, watching the light fall on the lake, making the lake surface colorful.

Lin Cheng took her out on his new bike. He rode his bike to take Xia Ning to her house. He drove too fast along the way, so Xia Ning couldn't ask anything. But now they arrived at the destination, Xia Ning got off the car, and Lin Cheng was still sitting in it.

She looked up at Lin Cheng, "Are you going home?"

"Yes, good times are always short-lived."

"It's not that beautiful..." Xia Ning put her hands behind her back and looked at him, "You haven't added me back as a friend yet."

"Oh...then you send the application and I'll approve it when you're free."

"You blocked me, you better unblock me from the blacklist first, bastard!!!"

Xia Ning couldn't help but stretch out her little fist and knock on Lin Cheng's helmet. Lin Cheng smiled helplessly and said okay.

"Then I'm leaving."

"OK Bye Bye."

"Aren't you going to say something?" Xia Ning took a few steps with her hands behind her back, then suddenly turned back to look at him.

The girl stood under the tree, the wind blowing her hair on the side of her cheek. Lin Cheng thought seriously, "Do you want to kiss or something?"

Xia Ning stood there in a daze.

"You are really crazy." She said blankly.

"You humiliated me, so I won't kiss you anymore."

"I...didn't say no."

"No, I don't want to leave now." Lin Cheng put his helmet back on and waved at her, but Xia Ning suddenly ran towards him and stood in front of him, "No, you...you are not allowed to leave."

"Ok?"

Xia Ning looked into his eyes and suddenly said very seriously, "I want to kiss you."

"Don't you hate men?"

"But I don't hate you."

"You don't hate me so you want to kiss me?"

"Because I think I like you a little."

"Cheap likes, rejected." Lin Cheng shook his head.

Xia Ning gritted her teeth, remained silent, took a deep breath, and was about to say something else, but Lin Cheng took off his helmet, lowered his head and came close to her, "But I can give you a kiss."

Xia Ning reached out and gently held his head, pushed aside his hair, and pecked him lightly on the forehead.

Lin Cheng raised his head again, put on his helmet, and looked at the blushing girl in front of him. Xia Ning looked at him seriously, "Don't forget to remove me from the blacklist when you go home."

"it is good."

"Also, be careful on the road and don't fall."

"it is good."

"besides……"

"You talk too much, can you please stop talking?"

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." Xia Ning glanced at him dimly, "Then I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Lin Cheng watched her walk up the stairs. This guy looked back every few steps. Seeing that Lin Cheng was still there, her eyes seemed to feel at ease again, and her steps became lighter and lighter, as if the chains that had bound her body were untied and a pair of transparent wings grew behind her.

Only after she disappeared from his sight did Lin Cheng ride his bike back home, lie down on the bed, look at the ceiling, and throw his cell phone aside. He was very tired after a whole day of shopping, so he decided to have a good sleep first.
