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

"I just came back..."

"It should be back in ten days or so."

"Oh..." Lu Xiaoxiao closed the book and put it aside, looking at Lin Cheng, "So what have you been doing at Xu Wanyue's house these two days?"

"She's sick, stay home with her to sleep, cook for her, etc."

"So did you guys... do it?"

"No." Lin Cheng answered truthfully.

"Why?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Because she doesn't want to. Can I force her?" Lin Cheng smiled helplessly.

"I always feel...it doesn't seem to be this reason..." Lu Xiaoxiao answered in a low voice. She suddenly stood up and sat astride Lin Cheng's legs, her snow-white and soft thighs clamped around his waist. She stretched out her hands and put her arms around Lin Cheng's neck. Lin Cheng looked at her with some confusion.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days."

"Yeah, a long, long time."

"I want..." she said.

"Hmm? You're so candid today."

Lin Cheng was about to pick up Lu Xiaoxiao, but Lu Xiaoxiao hugged his neck and leaned close to his ear, "Don't you want to stay here? There's only you and me at home..."

"Hmm?" Lin Cheng looked into Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes. He clearly remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao had always been very shy. Although her courage seemed to be growing little by little, it was still so sudden for her to say this.

"Do you feel it's strange?" Lu Xiaoxiao whispered in his ear.

"A little."

"I always feel that... you like Xu Wanyue so much... that's why you don't do it with her... it's different from what I do..." Lu Xiaoxiao said softly, "I don't want to think about these things... so, don't let me think about them anymore."

Lin Cheng's fingertips slid down her waist slowly. Her nightgown was slit on the side. Lin Cheng didn't seem to touch any obstacles between her skirt. Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly. "Before you came, you had... thought about it for a long, long time. Anyway, at this time, you must like me, right?"

"OK."

"Touch it carefully..." Lu Xiaoxiao's hands tightly hugged his neck, "That place is also... ready."

"You're so good today."

"Then what do you want to say..."

"say what?"

"Forget it...you won't tell it anyway..." Lu Xiaoxiao leaned in and kissed his lips.

260 Red Rose

Lin Cheng carried Lu Xiaoxiao, whose body had turned limp like a puddle of mud, into the bathtub.

Lu Xiaoxiao's skin was still a light rose-red. Lin Cheng looked into her eyes and reached out to pinch her face. "Why do I feel like you've become more anxious than I am?"

"Because I get jealous very easily..." Lu Xiaoxiao's voice became a little aggrieved, "I came back the day before yesterday, and Xu Wanyue recovered from her illness yesterday, but you didn't even send me a message."

Lin Cheng scratched his head awkwardly; he really couldn't answer.

"People may be like this. The easier it is to get something, the less they know how to cherish it. The more they can't get something, the more they desire it." Lin Cheng looked at the aggrieved Lu Xiaoxiao and approached her. "But Xiaoxiao is great."

Lu Xiaoxiao turned her face away, "You only say things like this after you're done."

"I am guilty, can I give Xiaoxiao a massage?"

"No."

"I'll make you lunch."

"No."

"Sleep with you tonight."

"No."

"Then what can I do to stop getting angry..."

Lu Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Cheng's wrist and held it tightly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, just stay at home with me..."

"Based on previous experience, you will beg for mercy first."

"Then just ignore my pleas for mercy." Lu Xiaoxiao's voice was stubborn. Lin Cheng took out his cell phone and said, "Record it as evidence."

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him quietly.

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

From 9:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the evening.

Lin Cheng is about to fall into a coma.

Lu Xiaoxiao has fainted twice.

Lin Cheng suddenly realized that it was as if he had just begun to truly understand Lu Xiaoxiao at this moment. After shedding her pride, Lu Xiaoxiao was still a very stubborn person. He turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoxiao and leaned close to her lips, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied."

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry anymore."

"Then go to sleep."

After Lin Cheng finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao snuggled into his arms. Lin Cheng hugged her gently. His mind suddenly began to wander. Maybe Lu Xiaoxiao was right. At least when they were in love, he was sure that he liked Lu Xiaoxiao very much.

Xiaoxiao is so great, soft and smooth, and she feels the same wherever you touch her.

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

Lin Cheng slept until three in the morning.

He woke up slowly, and heard the sound of rain outside the window. He suddenly felt very thirsty, so he quietly got up from the bed and prepared to go to the living room to get some water. He took some water from the refrigerator and returned to the room. Lin Cheng heard Lu Xiaoxiao's weak voice, "Where have you been?"

"Get some water, would you like some?"

"Feed me mouth to mouth."

"Hey!" Lin Cheng turned on the light. Lu Xiaoxiao was now wearing a white nightgown. The white silk over-the-knee socks under the nightgown tightly wrapped her snow-white legs. She really liked wearing clothes, and Lin Cheng... liked it too.

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her face.

Lin Cheng always felt something was weird, so he fed Lu Xiaoxiao two sips of liquid. The water stains flowed from the corners of her mouth to her collarbone. Lu Xiaoxiao hugged Lin Cheng tightly, and she seemed to be still half asleep.

Lin Cheng was held by her and lay on the bed again. Lu Xiaoxiao shrank into his chest and said in a dazed voice, "Lin Cheng..."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"Why do I... like you so much?"

"I don't know, but thank you for liking me."

“Don’t say thank you… I obviously want to hear it too… you say…” Lu Xiaoxiao’s voice became softer and softer, almost disappearing.

"Yeah, I like you too." Lin Cheng lowered his head and said softly.

Actually he knew.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else and seemed to have fallen asleep, but when Lin Cheng touched her earlobe, it felt very hot.

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

The next morning.

Lin Cheng was going to meet Ji Zhezhi at six o'clock tonight. After waking up, Lu Xiaoxiao was still curled up in his arms. Lin Cheng quietly got up from the bed. He didn't want to leave, he just wanted to see if he could get something to eat.

He went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. There were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. Lin Cheng saw noodles, tomatoes and eggs, and prepared to make tomato and egg noodles.

While cooking the noodles, he looked at the bubbling water in the pot and strange thoughts started to run through his mind again.

He felt that Lu Xiaoxiao's feelings about the difference between Lu Xiaoxiao and Xu Wanyue might not be wrong.

But in fact, Lu Xiaoxiao did nothing wrong. Lin Cheng has always been very clear about this. She is just loving in her own way, so she will be jealous, envious, have wild thoughts, and worry about gains and losses.

Children who lack love do not understand the so-called ways to be loved, but if they learn too many ways to be loved, they will gradually lose the ability to love.

This is an endless cycle with no solution.

But what is he? Sometimes he doesn't understand.

Sometimes he would think that if Lu Xiaoxiao didn’t like him, then he wouldn’t have to worry about this matter. But he was the one who approached her on the day they first met, and when she came close to him, he hugged her because he was lonely.

The subsequent meetings were truly a matter of fate. Lin Cheng had never thought of deliberately meeting her by chance, but she was always there when he was lonely.

Lin Cheng reached out and knocked on his head.

Tomato and egg noodles are very simple to make. First, beat four eggs, add a little bit of salt and a little bit of oil in the pan, fry the eggs until golden brown, then take them out and throw in the diced tomatoes. Add water after the juice comes out and put the eggs in when it’s almost time to serve to absorb a little bit of the juice. Two bowls of noodles are cooked. After they are cooked, Lin Cheng went to the room to call Lu Xiaoxiao.

The door opens.

Lu Xiaoxiao was biting the hem of her skirt gently with her lips, lowering her head to look at something in the mirror. Lin Cheng was stunned for a second, then blinked at her.

Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her skirt all of a sudden, her cheeks flushed.

"Hmm?" Lin Cheng looked at her strangely.

"It hurts a little..." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him dimly, "Asshole."

"Hey, you obviously asked for it!"

"Then you don't seem to feel sorry for me."

"It's you who didn't want me to feel sorry for you. The recording is proof."

"Girls always say one thing and mean another." Lu Xiaoxiao stared at him, and Lin Cheng had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Okay, I'm guilty, get up quickly, I've cooked noodles."

Lu Xiaoxiao and he ate two bowls of tomato and egg noodles in the living room. After eating, Lu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to clean up the dishes and threw them into the dishwasher. When she walked out of the kitchen, she seemed a little dazed and happened to bump into Lin Cheng who was waiting at the kitchen door.

"I have to leave at six tonight. Is there anywhere you want to go during the day?"

"It hurts..." Lu Xiaoxiao punched his chest with her little fist, "I don't want to go anywhere."

"Then let's just sleep at home."

"Your body is so soft..."

"Then I'll press it for you."

Lu Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, the TV was on, Lin Cheng was beside her, massaging her seriously. Lu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes slightly, "So where did you learn this from?"

"I learned from Jiang Lingxue."

"Whose hairband is that on your hand?"

"This, Xu Wanyue bought it yesterday. She used it to make a small braid for me and then put it on my hand."

"Oh." Lu Xiaoxiao turned her face away.

Lin Cheng leaned close to her cheek, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

"I feel like something's wrong."

"I said it's okay."

Lin Cheng reached out and grabbed her face. "If you don't say something and keep it in your heart, it will be difficult to expect the other person to guess."

"I didn't ask you to guess..."

"But I want to know, so can you tell me?"

"It's just a little awkward..."

"Then give me one too."

"Then will you take it off when you see Xu Wanyue?"

"I didn't take off the hairband she gave me in front of you, so why would I take off the hairband you gave me in front of her?" Lin Cheng smiled helplessly, and the awkwardness on Lu Xiaoxiao's face disappeared. She snorted and went to her cabinet. After searching for a long time, she picked out her favorite moon-white hairband from many hairbands and put it on Lin Cheng's wrist.

"You can't lend it to other women," she said.

"of course not."

Lin Cheng lay down on the bed and watched TV with Lu Xiaoxiao. Lu Xiaoxiao's body felt soft when he hugged her. He turned his head and asked, "Hmm? Have you gained weight recently?"
