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

...After thinking deeply all night yesterday, with heavy rain outside the window, Lin Cheng finally figured it out.

...Xu Wanyue is quite cute. From what she told me, this guy had a sad childhood. Her parents died because of her misfortune. She and her sister lived with others, and her aunt disliked her for being a burden...Lin Cheng had experienced living temporarily in a relative's house before. Everything in the house had to be taken care of by other people's children. He seemed like a pet...He hated this feeling, so he would rather go to an orphanage.

　...Actually, he is a weird guy himself, so that's why he thinks Xu Wanyue is weird, right?

Xu Wanyue walked to the kitchen with the dishes in her hand and said softly, "This skirt doesn't go with white silk. There are very few clothes that can be matched with white silk. It doesn't look good when worn."

Her voice was unexpectedly gentle, as if she was coaxing a child.

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I just want to watch it, I want to watch it, I want to watch it."

Xu Wanyue suddenly turned around, walked up to him, stretched out her hand and gently poked his lips.

Lin Cheng was stunned.

"I'll wear it for you to see tomorrow?" Xu Wanyue tilted her head.

...I'm just being nagging.

Lin Cheng was speechless for several seconds. Xu Wanyue saw that he was in a daze and looked at him with some confusion.

"Why... did you come so early today?" he asked stupidly.

"Because the taro braised pork takes a long time to cook, the mouth-watering chicken also needs to be prepared in advance." Xu Wanyue walked into the kitchen, put on the white apron, took off the hairband on her wrist, and tied up her jet-black hair.

Xu Wanyue went to the market to buy half a chicken. She chose a three-yellow chicken, which has tender meat and thin skin. It needs to be blanched first, then quickly put into cold water to cool, and then cut into pieces. The secret to the delicious mouth-watering chicken is the blanching time and skills, and the sauce is also the key among the keys.

The taro pot needs to be simmered for a long time, otherwise the taro will not be able to absorb the flavor. While the chicken is being blanched, she starts to peel the taro. She does this very seriously. Lin Cheng is watching her profile from the side. She is quiet and gentle, but there seems to be an inexplicable aura of "keep away from strangers".

It’s weird.

"What did you have for breakfast?" Xu Wanyue looked up at him.

"I haven't eaten yet. I'm thinking about having a big meal at noon."

"What's the connection between lunch and breakfast? You should eat a little for breakfast. At the very least, you should drink something to warm your stomach. Go and make those two packets of soy milk powder."

"Oh, okay." Lin Cheng agreed subconsciously, went to boil water, made two cups of soy milk, and put them on the table to cool. Xu Wanyue was chopping a chicken with his family's bone-cutting knife, and Lin Cheng walked to her side, "Let me do it."

"Do you know how to cut it?"

"know."

So Xu Wanyue handed him the knife. Lin Cheng cut the chicken cleanly and neatly. After a moment, the chopped chicken was spread out on the plate. Xu Wanyue looked at him curiously and said, "You are so skilled."

Lin Cheng started cutting taro while Xu Wanyue began to prepare the seasoning for the mouth-watering chicken. The two of them divided the work and started to work. After cutting the taro, Lin Cheng went to the kitchen door and looked at Xu Wanyue's back.

Under her skirt, you can see a slender ankle, which is white and soft. Half of the light from the window falls on her body, and the interweaving of half-bright and half-dark light and shadow gives it a somewhat cinematic texture.

Lin Cheng suddenly thought of something and took out a camera from the closet. He took a photo of Xu Wanyue while she wasn't paying attention. Xu Wanyue was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"I feel like... this scene is very beautiful. I'll take a picture for you."

“Can you take photos?”

"Hehe, the champion of the millennium portrait photography competition in City A." Lin Cheng snorted proudly, and Xu Wanyue smiled softly, "Amazing."

Lin Cheng leaned against the door, lazily watching her skillfully prepare the ingredients. Xu Wanyue said casually, "Why is your home so well-equipped with kitchen utensils? Is it the girl who used to live with you who cooked for you?"

Lin Cheng shook his head, "No, I cook for her."

"I knew you would." Xu Wanyue looked back with a dim look in her eyes, but after a moment it turned into curiosity.

"So where did she go afterwards?"

"I kicked her out."

33 What do you think?

Xu Wanyue was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Why?"

"There's no reason for it. We were just two ignorant kids who clung to each other for warmth. After growing up, they naturally went their separate ways. Actually, it can't be said that I kicked her out. We just don't live together anymore. We can still be considered friends, so you'll have a chance to see her in the future."

"Is she your ex-girlfriend?"

"Not really. I don't consider her as my girlfriend, and she doesn't consider me as her boyfriend. We just live together... and sleep together at night."

"How come this isn't love?"

"I don't know. Maybe we didn't believe in this kind of thing. We both lacked a sense of security at that time, and we couldn't get it from each other." Lin Cheng smiled indifferently. He didn't really want to continue this topic, but Xu Wanyue didn't seem to notice and continued to ask, "How strange... Are all you young people like this?"

"You are less than a year older than me."

"I have been doing part-time jobs during every summer and winter vacation since I was sixteen." Xu Wanyue raised her head slightly, seeming a little proud.

"I was saving the world when I was sixteen, can you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. What did you do before?" Xu Wanyue suddenly became a little nervous.

"My past? Hehe, a superhero."

"There were many superheroes in the League before... Which one are you?"

"Si Ming." Lin Cheng replied.

Xu Wanyue burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Cheng looked at her helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you are Sima Ming." Xu Wanyue nodded, "I believe it."

She laughed so hard that her body shook.

The corner of Lin Cheng's eye twitched slightly.

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

Lin Cheng really doubted whether this silly girl had not listened to his words at all.

...If you listened to me and reported it, your mission will be completed.

Dinner started at 11:30. Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue sat at the table. Lin Cheng took out two cans of Coke he had bought earlier from the refrigerator. Xu Wanyue looked at him and asked, "Do you have any sugar-free?"

"Coke has to have sugar in it."

"I need to lose weight." Xu Wanyue rubbed her belly. "I haven't been exercising much lately. I feel like I'm going to get a belly if I continue like this."

"The chubby ones are cute too."

"No way." Xu Wanyue snorted, "Drink half for me."

Lin Cheng picked up her can of Coke, tilted her head back and took a big gulp. Xu Wanyue was about to say something, but when she realized that Lin Cheng didn't put the can to her mouth, she stopped talking. Lin Cheng returned the can to her and started eating lunch.

Xu Wanyue’s cooking skills are really good, but it’s a pity that she’s still a little bit worse than him.

Lin Cheng was so full after the meal that he leaned back in his chair and burped. Xu Wanyue cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. When Lin Cheng looked over, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, there was a light in her eyes, and her white wrists seemed slightly transparent in the sunlight.

He looks very energetic.

Completely different from the hostess with pink slippers in the house in the past, that guy only knew how to smoke and drink in the house, making a mess of the house, running around the house naked with everything handed to him, her eyes always gloomy as if the whole world owed her millions, holding a guitar and playing a terrible tune, the only thing in her mind was to be penetrated or to press him under her and penetrate him.

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

When Xu Wanyue came back from washing the dishes, Lin Cheng had already started APEX in the room.

She sat on Lin Cheng's bed, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Oh, by the way, when I cleaned your room last time, I put those pairs of high heels in the cabinet over there for you."

"Please help me throw it away." Lin Cheng said lightly.

"They all look great. Where did you buy them? Can you give me a link?"

"It's a custom-made piece by a foreign designer. You need to make an appointment to order it. The queue may take several years. If you like it, take it."

Xu Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then she opened the cabinet and took out a pair of high heels. The shoe size of the previous hostess in the room seemed to be similar to hers. She began to study the gems inlaid on the shoes... Actually, she didn't understand much about them, but suddenly she had a strange guess, "The gems on it... can't they be real?"

"It's true." Lin Cheng didn't look back.

"How much did these three pairs of shoes cost?"

"A few hundred thousand, I can't remember."

"Why, why is it so expensive?"

"I don't know. I don't understand these things. She bought them herself. I was only responsible for paying her."

Xu Wanyue's eyes sparkled, "Can I try it on?"

"up to you."

So Xu Wanyue sat on the edge of the bed and began to try on these pairs of high heels. She lifted her calves, looked at the beautiful gems on the toes of the shoes, twisted her ankles left and right, stood up and walked around the room. Lin Cheng looked back inadvertently, and countless scenes came to her mind again at this moment.

He rubbed his brows, shook his head, and shook off all the memories of the past.

Xu Wanyue looked up and said, "It's just right...it's just right."

Lin Cheng had just finished the game when he suddenly came to a locked small box. He took out the key from the blanket on the balcony, opened the box, and then brought the box to Xu Wanyue.

"Give you all."

Xu Wanyue was stunned, lowered her head, and opened her lips slightly.

The box was filled with jewelry, so shiny that she could hardly open her eyes. She picked up the jewelry one by one and looked at it carefully. There were more than a dozen necklaces, seven or eight bracelets, as well as rings and anklets. Inexplicable curiosity surged in her heart. She looked up at Lin Cheng, "Are these the ones she doesn't want anymore?"

"Ah."

"It's so beautiful, why... don't you want it?"

"She didn't take it with her when she moved out. I said I would send it to her but she told me to throw it away. I've been too lazy to do so, so I'm giving it to you. If you don't want it, please help me throw it away when you leave tonight."

Although it was something that another woman had worn, Xu Wanyue's eyes sparkled at the moment, and she hugged the box, "I can't bear to part with it."

Lin Cheng returned to the computer and continued playing games. Xu Wanyue began to study the jewelry in the boxes. After studying for a long time, she put the jewelry away again. She came behind Lin Cheng and gently poked Lin Cheng's back. Lin Cheng turned his head, and her eyes seemed a little timid. "How about... leave it with you? Maybe one day she will come back and want to take it away?"

"No, she's a very proud woman and she never takes back what she said."

"So, then I really take it away later?"

"Take it, it's considered a favor to me."

"It's so kind of you."

"..." Lin Cheng was speechless, "Can you give me a kiss?"

Xu Wanyue's head suddenly shrank back, her arms crossed, her face alert, "What?"

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

White clouds were floating outside the window. Lin Cheng was playing games while Xu Wanyue was lying on the bed watching short videos. She brought her own charger today to avoid the problem of her phone running out of battery. Although Lin Cheng's room was a little messy, it was still quite clean. The air conditioner was on in the room, and Xu Wanyue's legs were clamped around his pillow.

He is really outgoing.

Lin Cheng started playing a casual idle mobile game and turned his chair to look at him. Xu Wanyue noticed his gaze and took off her headphones. "There's a new movie coming out soon, about the Alliance Arbiter. Do you want to go watch it together?"

"The one starring Jiang Lingxue?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked.

"Yeah, yeah, you actually know her? Are you her fan too?"

"My singing skills are terrible. I rely on the lyrics and music written by others to set off my voice."

"Her singing skills have improved a lot recently, okay? And her lyrics are really good, romantic and lonely, and she is super super pretty. I heard she is bisexual. She has a lot of female fans, and many female fans want to be close to her."

"..." Lin Cheng didn't know what to say and didn't say anything.

"So do you want to go watch it together then?"

"No." Lin Cheng shook his head.

Xu Wanyue was not disappointed, her eyes were still bright, "I heard there was a first screen kiss."

Lin Cheng's expression suddenly froze for a moment, and Xu Wanyue hummed softly, "I'm looking forward to it."

"Her...first screen kiss?"

"It's a lesbian-themed movie about a judge hero. I don't know if it was filmed with a stunt, and there's no actual kissing... But even if it's a lesbian kiss, I'm looking forward to it. There's news that the real judge heroine who plays opposite her has received more than 10,000 insults under her status."

"..."

Lin Cheng said nothing. "I don't watch them anyway. They are just idols created with money and resources."

Xu Wanyue's eyes were dim, but Lin Cheng changed the subject directly, not entangled with her on the topic of Jiang Lingxue, and said, "Find a quiet place in a few days, and I will teach you how to use your energy."

"Yeah." Xu Wanyue nodded repeatedly.

"But before that... we can do some preparations."
