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

Lin Cheng's eyes fell on Ji Zhezhi at first sight.

If accompanying Ji Zhezhi to the Ji family and helping her solve her marriage troubles was because of the favor owed by Zhezhi Sword, then if he repaid her with a brand new and more powerful Zhezhi Sword, would that mean the favor was repaid?

After a moment, Lin Cheng burst out laughing at his stupid idea.

What is important is never favors, but the affection hidden in the eyes of a cold-faced girl. All her thoughts are spent on how to be loved by you, so you can never be angry with her.

What about Qin Wutong?

Lin Cheng moved his eyes to the woman in the red dress. At that time, she was still a lively girl, and she spent the whole day with him, arm in arm, intoxicated and dreaming. They said they were good buddies and good brothers. At that time, Qin Wutong never thought too much, did not worry about whether she loved or was loved, but was just very happy to be with him, and her eyes were always bright like flowers blooming in spring.

Lin Cheng always felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when he thought about marrying the silly roe deer.

276 Guilt

The clear night is dust-free, and the moonlight is like silver.

The moonlight poured down from outside the pavilion like a white waterfall. In Lin Cheng's sight, Ji Zhezhi and Qin Wutong were sitting side by side. In the darkness, the girls' calves were as white as warm jade. Lin Cheng walked to the two of them and then sat next to Ji Zhezhi.

"I figured out why I was able to learn the Qin family's swordsmanship."

Ji Zhezhi looked at him quietly, Qin Wutong was full of curiosity, Lin Cheng slowly recounted what he saw and heard in the abyss, and Grandpa Qin had already gone to find Grandpa Ji. This incredible story was about the origin of the entire Ji family and the Qin family.

After Lin Cheng finished telling his story, Ji Zhezhi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, while Qin Wutong was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, "So, it's because of you that we were born?"

"At this point, that seems to be the case."

"What does Mr. Qin say about the marriage?"

After a brief surprise, Ji Zhezhi continued to ask calmly. She didn't care where she came from, nor did she care about her family's past. She only cared about everything in front of her now.

"Of course our wedding will go on as usual."

"Okay." Ji Zhezhi nodded gently, "Then I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy."

Lin Cheng hummed softly, and Ji Zhezhi had already stood up and walked towards the room. The moonlight poured down on her snow-white gauze skirt, as ethereal as dust, making her as light and airy as a fairy under the moon.

Lin Cheng used to think that he would be alone for the rest of his life. After all, he had been accustomed to loneliness for so long. If he had to have someone to accompany him in the future, it would be a terrible thing for him in the past.

But Ji Zhezhi was very smart and what she expressed was very clear. Even if they got married, there would be the option of divorce in the future, which left a way out for both of them. As for the so-called forced marriage, it was naturally fake, but precisely because it was fake, it gave the two of them a reasonable reason to get married and they would not feel constrained.

She stood up and left at this moment, leaving space for Lin Cheng and Qin Wutong to say the next words. After all, what Lin Cheng just said was "Our wedding will go on as usual."

The hidden meaning of this sentence is actually self-evident, but Qin Wutong did not understand it. She looked at Lin Cheng eagerly, still thinking about the relationship between Lin Cheng and his ancestors. Before she could figure it out, Lin Cheng looked into Qin Wutong's eyes and said softly, "You don't have to worry about being forced to marry again in the future. I will help you talk to Mr. Qin. No one in the Qin family will force you to get married again."

"Eh?" Qin Wutong was stunned for a moment.

She sat there for a while and asked Lin Cheng in a low voice, "What... does it mean?"

"Then we don't have to get married." Lin Cheng replied softly.

Qin Wutong stared at his eyes blankly. After a while, she lowered her head slowly and aggrievedly, "Why... don't we get married?"

The colorful bubbles that were overflowing in Qin Wutong's heart suddenly burst.

"Because we don't need to get married. Marriage is a decision that two people make after loving each other for a long time. Aren't we good brothers?"

"Then why do you want to marry Ji Zhezhi?"

"Because the invitations to the martial arts competition have been sent out today, the whole Utopia knows about it. If I don't marry her, she will be very embarrassed, as if she was abandoned. But our marriage was just proposed by Mr. Qin, and it hasn't been spread yet. It's not too late to cancel it now."

Qin Wutong's eyes revealed a bit of stubbornness, but the stubbornness was also full of grievances, "You... want to marry Ji Zhezhi, but... you don't want to marry me... you... don't like me..."

"Marriage is not a child's game, it's a very important matter. Our relationship is not yet at the point where we can get married casually, right?" Lin Cheng reached out and pinched her little face, trying to dispel the grievance in her eyes, but Qin Wutong's eyes were sparkling because of the mist.

Lin Cheng looked at her aggrieved eyes, and the guilt in his heart was like a spider's web, quietly crawling around and entangled with his heart.

But, it would be strange to marry Qin Wutong, right? Before this, they were just good friends. Maybe Lin Cheng had some subtle intuition in his heart, but as long as Qin Wutong didn't say it, he could always treat it as intuition.

Qin Wutong didn't know what to say.

She is always tongue-tied.

In the past, she was always carefree in front of Lin Cheng, and all her shyness, panic and little thoughts were hidden in her carelessness. She couldn't tell when Lin Cheng became very important in her heart, maybe it was from when he taught her the sword skills, maybe it was because of the countless times they fought side by side in tacit understanding, or maybe it was the glasses of wine in the middle of the night.

She was still young at that time and couldn't tell what love was. She just felt happy being with him because he was always smart and could guess her thoughts. He would teach her many things, such as what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say, and she always listened obediently.

"Ji Zhezhi can... but I can't... you like Ji Zhezhi... but not me..." Qin Wutong's voice trembled, and she wiped away her tears, "You are bullying me!"

Lin Cheng wanted to say something else, but Qin Wutong stood up and said, "I don't want to pay attention to you..."

After she said this, she ran away. Lin Cheng sat in the courtyard, looking at the red skirt fluttering in the night. He didn't know whether he should chase after her to explain something. But what could he explain?

Getting married is not a childish game.

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

Lin Cheng lay down on the bed.

Before Mr. Qin went back, he politely rejected his marriage with Qin Wutong and hoped that the Qin family would stop urging Qin Wutong to get married. Mr. Qin looked at him deeply, sighed softly, and agreed.

At this moment, Lin Cheng was tossing and turning in bed. He glanced at the time on his phone. It was already three o'clock in the morning, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

Obviously, it was the right decision, right? Why did he feel uneasy? Lin Cheng was very sure that there was no strange ambiguous feeling between him and Qin Wutong three years ago. They just drank, chatted and went shopping together. At most, he would occasionally take a sneak peek at Qin Wutong's hot body. Even if he had some strange ideas in his head, he would suppress them. This time when Qin Wutong and Ji Zhezhi entered the world, his relationship with Qin Wutong was still not ambiguous.

So getting married was weird, right? There was no reason for the two of them to get married. If they did get married, there would be a lot of trouble. Lin Cheng was always afraid of trouble.

Lin Cheng began to think again, why didn't he resist marrying Ji Zhezhi? Thinking about it... Three years ago, his relationship with Ji Zhezhi seemed to have always been vague. They seemed neither far nor close, but they always met late at night. Ji Zhezhi would occasionally dance for him, make tea for him, and even give him a pillowcase embroidered by herself. Before parting, they hugged each other gently, as if the ambiguous emotions were quietly growing at that time.

As expected, it was because Ji Zhezhi was too smart that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

But I still feel guilty.

Lin Cheng turned over again. He was just about to find a rain sound video to listen to and sleep well, and then go to comfort Qin Wutong tomorrow, but there was a knock on his door. Lin Cheng was stunned, "Who?"

"It's me." Ji Zhezhi's cold voice came.

Lin Cheng got up and opened the door. Ji Zhezhi was outside wearing a white nightgown, with her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders. Lin Cheng looked at her face, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I'm not asleep. I guess you're not asleep either."

"Really." Lin Cheng walked into the room. Ji Zhezhi accompanied him into the room. She closed the door again. Lin Cheng lit a small candle in the room and sat on the bed with Ji Zhezhi. Ji Zhezhi asked softly, "What did you say to Qin Wutong?"

"I told her that marriage is not a game, and I would ask Mr. Qin to take back his decision and not force her to get married again in the future. Mr. Qin also agreed."

Ji Zhezhi nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Lin Cheng thought she was going to say something else, but after a while, Ji Zhezhi climbed onto his bed and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. Lin Cheng turned around to look at her, "Ah?"

"I can't sleep, you sleep with me."

"Are the reasons so reasonable now?"

"If you don't come, I won't give you any more quilts."

"I'll sit for a while." Lin Cheng moved his position and quietly lifted the quilt covering Ji Zhezhi. The girl's slender white legs were exposed to the air. Lin Cheng gently grabbed her white and tender feet. Ji Zhezhi's hands were clenched on the quilt. "What are you doing?"

"Touch."

"abnormal."

"Hehehe, I am also justified."

Ji Zhezhi's feet were soft and slightly cold, but soon became warm. Her skin was as tender and soft as jelly. Lin Cheng gently pinched her toes, and his fingertips quickly moved to her calves, stroking her calves back and forth. Ji Zhezhi just looked at him quietly but did not resist.

"I thought you wanted to ask me what I think about Qin Wutong." Lin Cheng said slowly while touching him.

"It's an easy guess, so there's no need to ask."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Haven't you already given the answer? Anyway, she's easy to coax, just coax her tomorrow." Ji Zhezhi said calmly, "How long are you going to play?"

Lin Cheng took back his hand, covered her with the quilt, and came to the bed. Ji Zhezhi gave him half of the quilt. It was so warm in the bed. Lin Cheng looked at Ji Zhezhi's white face and asked, "Can I hug you?"

"I'm not used to it... I'll talk about it later."

"Oh, then after we get married, can we be a little bit shy?"

Lin Cheng knew what she would answer and just wanted to tease her.

"You're dreaming." Ji Zhezhi replied faintly, turning her face away, "No."

"Why not even after we get married?"

"Not ready."

"Oh...Does that mean I'll be ready later?"

"That's for the future. Anyway, I can't do it now..." Ji Zhezhi turned her back to Lin Cheng, and whispered, "At most... on the wedding night, I will do my best to help you..."

Ji Zhezhi stopped talking here. Lin Cheng looked at her back with interest. After waiting for a long time, Ji Zhezhi added, "Step on it."

"What a cold and stingy wife."

Ji Zhezhi replied faintly, "Then you are the philandering and perverted husband."

Lin Cheng couldn't refute, he smiled happily, and moved closer to Ji Zhezhi. Ji Zhezhi turned around and put her small hand on his chest, "You're too close..."

"But if you're too far away, the heat will escape from the bed."

"You have the most reasons." Ji Zhezhi withdrew her little hand and moved slightly towards him. Their shoulders were close to each other and she held the quilt tightly.

Lin Cheng's nose was filled with her faint fragrance.

277 Good Brothers

The next day, early morning.

After Lin Cheng had breakfast at Ji's house, he went to Qin's house. Ji Zhezhi led the way to Qin's house because he was not good at finding directions. However, Ji Zhezhi did not follow him into the Qin's compound.

Lin Cheng came to the Qin family and soon saw Qin Wulin. He greeted Qin Wulin. Qin Wulin said that Qin Wutong had not come out of the room since he went back last night. Lin Cheng came to the door of Qin Wutong's room, stretched out his hand and knocked gently.

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat." Qin Wutong's voice was a little hoarse.

"It's me." Lin Cheng's voice rang out.

The room suddenly became quiet for several seconds before Qin Wutong said, "I don't want to see you now."

"So when do you want to see me?"

"I don't know. Go back soon."

"Then I'll wait here until you want to see me."

Lin Cheng stood quietly at the door for only a minute or two, and then the door opened. Qin Wutong was in the room wearing a black nightgown. The silk nightgown wrapped around her curvy body. Her thighs under the skirt were slender, well-proportioned, snow-white and smooth. Lin Cheng walked into the room and closed the door.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Wutong returned to the bed and continued to wrap herself in the quilt, leaving only her head exposed.

"Come and see you."

"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you going to marry Ji Zhezhi?"

"The wedding is tomorrow, and I haven't given you the invitation yet." Lin Cheng put the big red invitation on the table. Qin Wutong covered her head with the quilt, "I don't want to go!!"

"Ji Zhezhi treats you as a very good friend. She will be sad if you don't go."

"What about you? What do you take me for?"

"Aren't we good buddies? You don't even want to come to your buddy's wedding?"

Qin Wutong's grievance suddenly reached its peak again.

Lin Cheng came to the bed and sat down, reaching out to pull her quilt, but as soon as the quilt was pulled open, Qin Wutong quickly grabbed the quilt and covered her head. Lin Cheng laughed dumbly, "Why are you covering your head?"

"I don't want to see you."

"So what are you sulking about?"

"You got married secretly without telling me."

"Didn't I tell you now?"

Qin Wutong felt even more aggrieved and didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Cheng anymore. "Go away. I don't want to see you."

"So what should I do to not be angry?" Lin Cheng smiled helplessly and pulled Qin Wutong's quilt again. This time, Qin Wutong did not pull the quilt down again, but her eyes were red like a rabbit again. She replied, "You know."

"I do not know."

"you know!"
