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

So should he just pretend he didn't see it?

Lin Cheng turned his head back to the computer screen, and after a while, he said softly, "Just pretend I didn't see it."

“You…saw it.”

"I do not see it."

"You...saw it...you saw it..."

"No, I said I didn't see it and that means I didn't see it." Lin Cheng played the game in front of him seriously. When the game was over and he looked back, Xu Linglan had already curled up in the quilt.

"Go to bed early." Lin Cheng stood up.

"Aren't you going to sleep with me? It's so cold outside on the couch."

"No, go to sleep."

"You feel guilty. On the one hand, you say I'm a child, but on the other hand, you're afraid that I might have strange thoughts about you, so you don't dare to sleep with me."

Lin Cheng thought about it seriously and said, "Well, that does make sense. How about you sleep on the sofa?"

"No." Xu Linglan clutched the quilt tightly.

Lin Cheng smiled helplessly, "Okay, good night."

He walked out of Xu Linglan's room, turned off the lights, and gently closed the door.

Back on the sofa, Lin Cheng took out his phone and found Xu Wanyue, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Xu Wanyue replied quickly.

"I have something I don't know whether I should tell you..."

"Now that you've said that, let's just say it."

"I doubt……"

"What do you suspect?"

"I suspect that your sister likes me a little bit... Of course, it's just a suspicion, not certain..." For some reason, Lin Cheng suddenly felt so ashamed when typing this line. What if he had misunderstood?

It took Xu Wanyue several seconds to reply. She said, "I believe you can handle it, right?"

"Yeah, I'll try my best." Lin Cheng sighed helplessly. After a while, he received a photo from Xu Wanyue showing two feet in black silk stockings put together. Lin Cheng smiled in front of the screen, "Anything else?"

After a while, I received another photo of Xu Wanyue standing in front of the mirror, her nightgown falling to her waist, with one arm covering her bear.

"There's more, there's more."

After a while, Lin Cheng received another photo of Xu Wanyue with her long legs in black stockings and over-the-knee socks raised high in front of the mirror.

"There's more, there's more."

"I didn't provoke..."

"I want to see Jianjian."

"don't want……"

"Then look at the little tongue."

After a while, he received a photo of Xu Wanyue with her lips open and her pink little tongue sticking out.

so cute.

"Satisfied, good night."

"good night."

Lin Cheng put his phone aside, clutched the thin air-conditioning quilt, and closed his eyes.

301 Tenderness

The next day, early morning.

Lin Cheng had another nightmare.

At first in the dream, there was Sister Wanyue, a maid wearing white silk stockings. Sister Wanyue finally pardoned the world, and sat obediently on the bed, playing with the hem of her dress with blushing cheeks, and asked him softly, "How are you going to bully me later?" Lin Cheng grabbed her white and tender calves, and had ten thousand ways of how to bully Xu Wanyue in his head, but the next second the girl's white and tender feet stepped on his face. When he looked up again, in front of him was Xu Linglan wearing a JK uniform, with her arms folded across her chest, and a disdainful expression.

Then he woke up with a start. After waking up, he sat up suddenly and looked at Xu Linglan who was sitting on the balcony, listening to the sound of rain outside the window. Xu Linglan looked back and asked, "Do you want to eat egg fried rice?"

"can you cook?"

"Will do."

"Give me a bowl then."

So Xu Linglan cooked the rice, went downstairs to buy a handful of green onions and eggs, and a sausage. After the rice was ready, Lin Cheng heard some noises coming from the kitchen. After a while, two plates of fragrant egg fried rice were placed in front of him.

The two sisters learned cooking skills from their uncle, and the food they cook tastes great.

After eating, Xu Linglan took the dishes and went to wash them. After washing, she asked Lin Cheng if he wanted to play computer. Lin Cheng shook his head, so she sat in front of Lin Cheng's computer. Lin Cheng was lying on the sofa and browsing his mobile phone. The sound of rain was dripping outside the window.

Lin Cheng received the information sent by Lu Lingling, which was about the reality twister. All the information that could be collected so far is here. His name is Yun Qiu, and his ability was awakened due to long-term abuse by his stepmother. He finally killed his stepmother after losing control and began a wandering life.

During his wandering, he was discovered by a resistance organization called XH, captured, and controlled through brainwashing. They made many potions for him to enhance his abilities, or killed targets they could not handle. He even had his gender and appearance changed, and became a tool for the resistance organization to vent their desires.

This went on for ten years, until the abyss came and the psychic who was responsible for controlling him died unexpectedly. His mind returned to normal, he killed everyone nearby, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

The Alliance had attempted to capture him, killing several high-level fighters, but it seemed they had also succeeded in severely injuring him, and he disappeared after that until recently when he reappeared in the public eye.

Unless he takes the initiative to come to the house, Lin Cheng has no other choice, so he can only stay with Xu Linglan these days. He has already told Lu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lingxue that he plans to stay indoors for the time being.

At noon, Xu Linglan walked out of the room and asked him if he wanted to go downstairs to buy groceries together. Lin Cheng nodded obediently and went downstairs with her. After buying the groceries, Xu Linglan went into the kitchen. The dinner was also bought. After eating, Lin Cheng lay on the bed and browsed his mobile phone. Xu Linglan also cooked dinner. She would wash the dishes herself, but she didn't talk much to Lin Cheng. She just sat in front of Lin Cheng's computer and played games.

The whole day passed like this.

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

It was a new day. Lin Cheng woke up from the sofa with back pain.

As expected, I still wasn't used to sleeping on the sofa. The good news was that Xu Linglan woke up early again, so she had fried rice to eat this morning. At noon, Xu Linglan still cooked and bought groceries. The same was true at night. Except for the time she went downstairs, Xu Linglan was always wearing that slim black dress and playing games in the house. Lin Cheng was on the sofa, browsing his phone, and the whole day was passing by.

On the third day, Lin Cheng sat up from the sofa. Breakfast was ready. After eating, he came behind Xu Linglan, looked at the girl wearing headphones, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Okay, where to go?"

"Just take a walk. I feel like I'm going to be bored to death at home."

"Well, wait for me to change my clothes."

It was really strange. Lin Cheng suddenly felt that her tone became very well-behaved.

Lin Cheng waited silently outside the door. Xu Linglan quickly changed her clothes into the JK uniform she wore when she came. Lin Cheng looked at her slender legs under her skirt. This time, she barely put on warm white calf socks. She walked to Lin Cheng and went downstairs with him. They strolled in the park not far from home. After a walk, Xu Linglan and Lin Cheng sat by the lake. Xu Linglan looked at the calm center of the lake and suddenly whispered, "I will be good in the future."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at her.

But Xu Linglan's eyes were just looking at the lake, and Lin Cheng couldn't guess what she was thinking. These past two days Xu Linglan had been playing games in her room very well and even prepared meals for him. Lin Cheng vaguely guessed something. Did Xu Wanyue say something to her?

But he couldn't ask Xu Linglan about this, so after returning home from the park, he sent a message to Xu Wanyue, curiously asking, "Did you... say anything to Xu Linglan?"

"I told her that Brother Lin Cheng would stay by your side to protect you, and you should be obedient."

"That's it?"

"Of course. What happened?"

"No, I feel like she has become much more obedient. It seems that my sister's words are still effective. Maybe what I said the day before yesterday was just an illusion caused by my narcissism. Don't take it to heart."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Lin Cheng put down his phone and smelled a pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen.

After dinner, Xu Linglan sat aside and waited quietly for Lin Cheng to eat so that she could clean up the dishes and wash them. Lin Cheng thought for a moment and said, "You go play, I'll wash the dishes."

"It's okay. I'll stay at your house. Sorry to trouble you a lot." Xu Linglan lowered her head slightly and answered in a low voice.

"I'm not used to you doing this." Lin Cheng felt quite strange.

The next second, he was kicked by Xu Linglan's white and tender feet under the table, "Are you a bitch?"

"..." Lin Cheng shut up silently.

In the end, Xu Linglan washed the dishes. She went back to Lin Cheng's room and played games for a while. Then she walked out of the living room, looked at Lin Cheng lying on the sofa, and said, "You go to the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa today."

"no, I'm fine."

"It's okay." Xu Linglan's voice revealed a bit of stubbornness, as if she would stay here as long as Lin Cheng didn't leave. Lin Cheng just looked at her for a while, wanting to say something to coax her, but didn't know how to start.

He has never been good at coaxing girls.

Xu Linglan still stood in front of him, her head lowered a little, and she whispered, "Go to bed."

"I'm really fine..."

But Xu Linglan had already approached and lay down on the sofa. She grabbed the air-conditioning quilt to cover herself, looked at the side of Lin Cheng who was sitting there, and said, "I'm going to sleep."

She closed her eyes.

Lin Cheng was helpless with her, so he had to go back to his room and cover himself with the quilt. The quilt seemed to still have the scent of the girl. He had been away from his soft big bed for a long time. He tossed and turned on the sofa these days, but for some reason, he couldn't fall asleep when he returned to bed.

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

Xu Linglan looked at the ceiling. The living room was dark. She slowly opened her eyes and her nose felt sore.

She has been staying in her room playing games these days. Playing games can make the uneasiness in her head gradually disappear. At this moment, the uneasiness in her heart quietly emerges again. In fact, Lin Cheng guessed wrong. Her change was not because of what Xu Wanyue sent her, but because when she couldn't sleep late at night, she secretly recalled what Lin Cheng had done... and saw the message Lin Cheng sent to Xu Wanyue.

At that moment, fear crawled all over her heart like a spider web.

If she continued to act like this, it would not only cause trouble for him, but also for her sister. She shouldn't have had such fantasies in the first place.

How could you like him? My sister is so good to you...but you actually like the man my sister likes.

Why do you like him? Is it because you have been looking back on his past again and again, looking at all his past experiences, and suddenly your heart is moved at some moment? It's like watching a movie, and after the movie ends, you quietly fall in love with the male protagonist in the movie.

At this moment Xu Linglan suddenly understood what Lin Cheng said. Sometimes her ability was like a curse. Some powers should not be used indiscriminately... Just like backtracking, she never wanted to use backtracking again, never again.

Everything in front of Xu Linglan's eyes was gradually blurred by the mist. Her nose became sore and her chest began to hurt. She couldn't tell what was happening and suddenly she wanted to cry.

She suddenly wanted to burst into tears in an empty corner, but at this moment she could only cover her lips tightly, trying not to make any sound. Her shoulders shook in the quilt until her tears almost completely wet the collar of her nightgown. She wiped away her tears, and the uneasiness in her heart drove her to dial that number, but fear filled her body. After a long, long time, she finally dialed the number.

It was my sister's voice on the other end of the line, "Huh? Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"elder sister……"

"What's wrong? Why is your voice shaking so much..."

"Sister...I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing suddenly? What's the matter? Did something happen?" Xu Wanyue's voice was a little nervous.

"No, no... I just... I just want to apologize to my sister..."

"Apologize for what?"

"I, I... I shouldn't like my brother-in-law... I... I shouldn't, shouldn't be like this..." Xu Linglan said tremblingly.

"Did he say anything to you?" Xu Wanyue asked softly.

"No, no...it's just...it's just...I just want to apologize to my sister...I, I won't like him anymore...Sis...I'm sorry..."

"Why should you apologize for something like this?" Xu Wanyue's voice was somewhat helpless. "If you really like him, then I won't be angry. The only thing I'm worried about is that you're still young and can't figure out many things. I know that, but if the person you like is him, I'm not too worried... He won't take advantage of you just because you like him."

"Alright, alright, don't cry. I really won't get angry about this. Suzuran can like whoever she wants. It's your own business... Suzuran likes him, so I should be more relieved because he is a reliable guy when he needs to be reliable."

"There's still a long time to go, and Linglan still has a lot of time to figure out what she likes. Don't worry, don't be afraid, and don't cry. Sister is not angry. Let's have a good chat, sisters. Tell me why you like him."

Xu Wanyue's voice was as gentle as ever.

ps: The third volume is over! There is one last volume!

302 Cloud Autumn

late at night.

Lin Cheng gently opened the door and was about to go to the bathroom. The living room was dark, but the slight noise still made Xu Linglan let out a soft "ah".

"You... haven't slept yet?" The girl's voice was extremely light in the darkness.
