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

He looked at Ji Zhezhi's cheek and suddenly wanted to reach out and pinch it, because it was white and tender and looked very good to the touch. Her lips were also pink and tender.

"Feeling better?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Much better. I should be fine tomorrow."

"Then I'll go with you to beat someone up tomorrow."

"His energy points are higher than mine, and so is his swordsmanship."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Cheng waved his hand.

"So what's the reward?" Ji Zhezhi looked at him quietly.

"what?"

"What do you want in return?"

"Why should we ask for compensation for our friendship?"

"Friendship will also be worn out by favors done over and over again. I don't want to wear out our friendship, so I hope you can ask me for compensation."

"I already owe you a favor..."

"I have already specified the compensation I need for that favor. You will be returning to the Ji family with me in a few days. Let's put things aside."

Ji Zhezhi seemed inexplicably stubborn in such a place.

Lin Cheng thought about it seriously, "Let me think about it..."

"Then pinch my face?" Lin Cheng looked into her eyes.

Ji Zhezhi hummed softly.

So Lin Cheng's fingertips were able to pinch her smooth little face, and it was indeed so soft and felt great. Lin Cheng's gaze inadvertently moved to her slender ankles exposed under the quilt, her white and bony feet were exposed, and the snow-white soles were slightly pink.

Perhaps because his gaze lingered for a second longer, Ji Zhezhi carefully retracted her white and tender little feet from outside the quilt back into the quilt.

This little action made Lin Cheng a little crazy.

Ji Zhezhi just looked up innocently, "I still feel a little uncomfortable, can you stay with me tonight?"

"Accompany you...what do you mean?"

"Sleeping next to me."

252 No conscience

"Go take a shower." Ji Zhezhi's voice was clear and shallow.

"Wait a minute, I have something to report." Lin Cheng reached out and pinched her face, then took out his cell phone and walked out the door. He made a call, of course, the call was to Xia Ning.

When he went downstairs from Xia Ning's house, he had already sent a message to Xia Ning, saying that there was something urgent and he would call her back after dealing with it. Now that Ji Zhezhi's injury has healed, it's time to take care of Xia Xiaoning's emotions.

The call was quickly connected, and Xia Ning's voice came from the other end, "Are you done?"

"Well, I'm done."

"Then when will you come back..."

"I won't come back tonight." Lin Cheng didn't just say it casually, he thought about it seriously for a while.

"Do you want to accompany other girls?"

"Yes."

There was silence on both ends of the phone for three or four seconds, and finally Xia Ning's voice came out, "You're not even willing to make up an excuse for me."

"Once you start lying, it's hard to keep it up. And there's no need to lie to you."

"So who are you going to accompany?"

"Ji Zhezhi, she's injured, seriously. I didn't know the situation clearly just now, so I came to check on her first."

"Is she okay now?"

"She's basically fine now, but she's still feeling a little unwell and wants me to stay with her."

"Oh, then you stay with her."

"Well, then you go to bed early."

Of course Lin Cheng heard the disappointment in Xia Ning's words.

It was natural to feel disappointed, after all, the courage she had finally mustered was rejected. But Lin Cheng didn't know what to say to comfort her. If Qin Wutong hadn't called, maybe he would have walked into the bathroom and done something naughty with that guy. What would happen when he woke up tomorrow?

We feel very happy when our desires are satisfied, but things always become a mess after we wake up.

In his eyes, Xia Ning was more like a little girl who was a little silly but very sincere. He was just playing with the little girl to pass the time, but suddenly the little girl said that she liked him. However, he did not want to respond to this expectation, but when faced with temptation, he almost took the bait and it was so hard to refuse.

If I really did something naughty, how should I treat her in the future? I clearly didn't want to respond to her likes and expectations, so what's the difference between that and treating her like a toy?

The reason why he was shy with Jiang Lingxue was because of the mess, and the same with Lu Xiaoxiao. Although he was always scolded as a scum and a beast, Lin Cheng felt that he had to take responsibility for some things he did. But sometimes he couldn't resist the temptation. People are always so contradictory. If he had no scruples at all, he would have eaten the grapes long ago, so he tried hard to become an expert in abstaining from sex.

Lin Cheng glanced at his phone. The call was still going on, so he didn't hang up on Xia Ning either.

He put the phone to his ear again, "Why don't you hang up?"

"I have something to say, but I don't know what to say."

"Then you think about it first, and we'll say it when you've made up your mind." Lin Cheng sat on the steps outside, looking at the cold night. The stars were shining alone in the night sky.

Lin Cheng waited quietly for a while, and heard Xia Ning muttering, "Then... next time if there is nothing else, will you run away again?"

"Yes." Lin Cheng answered honestly.

"why?"

"Because I'm not prepared at all. Although I'm not a good guy, it seems reasonable for me not to take a bite of the suckling pig that's delivered to my door. But if I just want to take a bite and then throw it aside, the suckling pig will be sad in the future, right? Compared to just taking a perfunctory bite, doesn't the suckling pig want to be eaten up by the person he likes?"

"You are the little suckling pig!" Xia Ning's voice suddenly became resentful again.

"So go to bed."

"Are you trying to get me to sleep as soon as possible so you can go and be with other women?"

"You may not believe this, but Ji Zhezhi and I are just good friends."

"Haha, a good friend would ask you to stay with her late at night?"

"There's nothing I can do. I can't explain it clearly, but as long as I pretend I don't know, we'll always be good friends." Lin Cheng answered very confidently.

"I can not sleep."

"It's okay. You'll get sleepy after a while."

"You annoying guy." Xia Ning's voice was still faint. After a while, Lin Cheng heard her slight panting.

"What are you doing?"

"Hit the beans."

"Can we have a video?"

"Go to hell." Xia Ning responded coldly, and then began to curse him in a low voice, probably saying things like bastard, pervert, etc. Her voice became more and more urgent. Lin Cheng did not hang up the phone. He put the phone to his ear and waited quietly.

After a long while, Xia Ning's voice became much weaker, "Why don't you hang up?"

"I'll hang up after you fall asleep."

"Haha, you have a guilty conscience?"

“A little bit, but overall I managed to hold the bottom line again today. I feel like I need to work harder next time and not be easily tempted.”

"I think it would be better for you to die."

"You are so fierce."

"It's obviously you who's the bastard. You'll never have another chance like today."

"Oh, what a pity." Lin Cheng's voice did not reveal any regret.

"Hey, so...what's your relationship with Hime Orie? I know her."

"It's an old story, do you want to hear it?"

"listen."

So Lin Cheng started telling her the old story again until Xia Ning fell asleep in a daze. Lin Cheng called her several times but there was no response, so he hung up the phone, put away his phone and went back to the room. Ji Zhezhi was lying on the bed, staring at him without blinking.

"Your call lasted one hour and twelve minutes."

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"It still hurts a bit. I can't sleep alone."

"Go to sleep. I'll keep watch over you." Lin Cheng sat on the bed, but Ji Zhezhi pointed to the empty space beside her bed and said, "You, sleep there."

"it's not good?"

"But I see you seem to be looking forward to it."

"Huh? Is there any?"

Ji Zhezhi reached out and poked his belly, saying, "Go take a shower."

"Can I not wash it?"

"No, I'm a germaphobe. You are not allowed to get on my bed with clothes on."

"You're asking for too much. Wait, aren't you worried that I might take advantage of your situation and do something bad to you?"

"This is the first day I met you?" Ji Zhezhi glanced at him indifferently.

"Didn't you say that I have changed a lot?" Lin Cheng walked towards the bathroom.

“Some things remain the same.”

"For example?"

"Like, no one can ever really get close to you."

Lin Cheng didn't stop, but just muttered, "No way, nonsense."

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

Lin Cheng went to the bathroom and took a serious shower. There were some bloodstains on the clothes in the bathroom. Those were the clothes Ji Zhezhi wore when she came back earlier. After taking a shower, Lin Cheng found a bath towel to wrap himself up and came to Ji Zhezhi's room. There was only a small light on in the room. Lin Cheng came to the bed and stretched out his hand to poke her face, "Are you really going to let me sleep with you?"

"It can just tell whether your friendship has deteriorated." Ji Zhezhi's voice was cold. Lin Cheng climbed onto her bed and lay on the other side of her.

"Hey, hey, aren't you going to share some of your quilt with me?"

"I don't have any clothes under my quilt." Ji Zhezhi said calmly, "Are you sure you want it?"

"Then let's not do it." Lin Cheng wrapped in a bath towel, turned his head, and Ji Zhezhi's eyes were looking at the ceiling. He saw the girl's fair face. Lin Cheng suddenly said, "You don't like me, do you?"

This is a test.

"Is this a new joke?" Ji Zhezhi said in a calm voice.

This is the answer.

"It feels a bit weird." Lin Cheng looked at her profile. Ji Zhezhi still didn't look at him.

"What's weird?"

"Don't you think it's weird that we're lying in the same bed now?"

"Then what did we do?" Ji Zhezhi finally turned his cheek a little.

"No ah."

"That means your six senses are not pure and your head is filled with evil thoughts, so you feel weird."

"I think it's normal for a man to have some crooked thoughts at this time, right?"

"Then don't think about it."

"I don't want to. I just want to."
