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

"A bit..."

"I have never been touched by another man, not even a finger. If you are worried about that, you can rest assured."

"No, that's not it... I mean... your plundering can't just take away my energy?"

"There's no way. Even if I have more energy than you, your rank is still higher than mine." The Black Phoenix's thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

"But, it's very strange..."

"What's weird about that?" Black Phoenix looked at the mirror in the coffee shop and turned slightly sideways. "Am I not pretty? Or is my figure not to your taste?"

Lin Cheng looked her up and down carefully. It was true that Hei Huang was extremely beautiful. Normally, she would cover her features so that people could not see them clearly, because her cheeks were so beautiful that it was as if... they perfectly matched human aesthetics. Her figure was also of the perfect golden ratio, like an exquisite doll carved by God.

When Lin Cheng first saw her, he was stunned for an unknown amount of time, because she was so "perfect", so perfect that it was a little unreasonable. So when she said that she didn't seem to belong to this world, Lin Cheng was not surprised at all.

"I think based on human morality, this kind of thing should be done with love..."

"Love is a human emotion, but you and I seem to be... neither of them."

"I think I am." Lin Cheng's expression was obviously a little embarrassed.

"You're so weird." Instead, Black Phoenix looked at him in confusion. After a moment, she sighed helplessly, "Then why don't you fall in love with me?"

"No..." Lin Cheng didn't know how to explain it to Hei Huang for a moment. It was obvious that this guy had been a human for so many years, so he should understand it more or less.

"Is it difficult to fall in love with me?" Black Phoenix blinked his eyelashes slightly.

“I think it should be difficult.”

"why?"

"Because you are not a normal woman."

"But objectively speaking, I am a very beautiful woman with a great figure and a nice voice. If you were a normal human male, you would have no reason not to love me."

"That's not the case. Love at least requires contact, companionship, and the creation of some wonderful memories together." Lin Cheng felt that he seemed a little incoherent.

Black Phoenix was silent.

After a few seconds, she raised her head slightly. Her dark pupils were like obsidian, seeming to reflect the light. Lin Cheng was attracted by her beautiful eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Damn it.

Her cheeks were so "perfect", so perfect that they seemed hazy and unreal.

"I understand." Black Phoenix said suddenly.

"What do you know?"

"Come here to find me at this time tomorrow. Give me seven days and I will make you fall in love with me."

Lin Cheng sighed helplessly.

Why was he trying to reason with a madman?

315 day1

Lin Cheng was driven out of the coffee shop by Hei Huang.

When he left, Hei Huang's eyes were still very determined, as if she believed that Lin Cheng would fall in love with her in seven days.

After returning home, Lin Cheng lay on the bed and began to recall everything about Black Phoenix. He didn't have many clear memories of his time with Black Phoenix. Black Phoenix was just like him, with all kinds of emotions that seemed to be imitating humans. The difference was that he turned his emotions into instinct, while Black Phoenix had no need to act.

The memories of Black Phoenix were nothing more than fighting side by side and killing abyss creatures. There was nothing impressive in the scenes of memory.

She seemed to be challenging Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng accepted her challenge.

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

The next day.

Lin Cheng came to Hei Huang's coffee shop.

Hei Huang was standing just a few steps from the door of the coffee shop. She was wearing a black one-piece fishtail dress with suspenders and a knitted purple lace top. Lin Cheng looked at her. Unexpectedly, Hei Huang's eyes seemed to have lost their previous indifference and coldness overnight, and actually showed a bit of tenderness.

"You're here." Black Phoenix smiled at him.

Lin Cheng felt something was wrong. He walked over to Hei Huang and asked, "So what are we going to do today?"

"I want you to go home with me."

"Go home?" Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but Hei Huang had already walked towards him. She was wearing a pair of black high heels, her steps were steady and elegant, and her slender calves looked even more curvy because of the high heels. She came to Lin Cheng's side, and Lin Cheng smelled her refreshing fragrance. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What perfume did you use?"

"It's not perfume." Black Phoenix shook his head, "It's the smell of my body."

"Don't lie to me."

After Lin Cheng finished speaking, Hei Huang suddenly jumped in front of him, put her hands on his shoulders, and stood on tiptoe. Her taut calves made her look like she was dancing ballet. Her neck was close to Lin Cheng's nose. Lin Cheng sniffed and smelled an even stronger and wonderful fragrance against her skin, like the scent of flowers, but with a faint, indescribable taste.

"Where did it come from?" Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Always have, since I was a child." Hei Huang answered. She was so close to him, so close that Lin Cheng could bite her neck just by opening his mouth slightly. He didn't know why such a desire suddenly emerged in his head. He endured it, and Hei Huang also retreated to his side and gently held his hand.

Her hands were slightly cold.

"Go home...where to?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

He had never understood Black Phoenix. Could it be that Black Phoenix had a family? Black Phoenix did not answer him directly, but smiled cunningly, "You will know when you get there."

She held Lin Cheng's hand and walked briskly along the road. She no longer concealed her face, so many passers-by looked at her sideways. It was even so exaggerated that several cars lost their focus when they saw her and almost collided with each other.

Lin Cheng looked at the faint smile on her lips and was in a trance for a moment. Her disguise was so perfect and impeccable that it didn't seem hypocritical at all.

But if he knew it was fake, how could he believe it?

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon." Her gentleness was like that of a gentle older sister. Lin Cheng was not used to this strange contrast. He and Hei Huang walked on the roadside for more than half an hour. Hei Huang took him all the way to the outskirts of the city, to an orphanage that looked a little shabby.

and many more.

The moment he arrived here, Lin Cheng felt a sudden pain in his head. When he turned around and looked at the Black Phoenix in front of him, the cunning meaning in the Black Phoenix's smile became more and more obvious.

"You are……"

"Yes, it's me." Black Phoenix blinked at him, "Brother Lin Cheng."

After a moment of stabbing pain in Lin Cheng's head, he suddenly had an extra memory. It was something that originally belonged to him. He suddenly realized that there was a pretty little girl in his memory, but he had forgotten her.

After he was seven years old, he lived in an orphanage for a period of time. At that time, there was a little girl named Xiaoqi in the orphanage. The girl was loved by all the children. All the children were willing to give her the candies they got, and all the children listened to her because she was so beautiful.

This memory lasted for at least one or two years. Later, the little girl suddenly disappeared in the orphanage, but everyone seemed to subconsciously forget her existence until Black Phoenix brought him here again.

"So...you already knew me?"

"Yeah, I recognized you when we first met in the alliance. When we were little, you loved to follow me around and gave me all the candies you got."

"Then why didn't you ever tell me about it?"

"There's no need to mention it." Hei Huang answered innocently, but Lin Cheng was still curious. He asked, "Why did you leave back then?"

"Because my ability has awakened, the orphanage is not suitable for training my ability, so I left."

"At that time...you were only eight or nine years old, right?"

"Age means nothing to me. After my ability awakened, my way of learning and thinking changed a lot, so I deleted your memories of me and left." Black Phoenix said softly, stretching, "But this place... was indeed my home."

While she was stretching, Lin Cheng reached out and poked her waist.

Black Phoenix's body straightened up again, and he gave him a reproachful look with his dark eyes, "Hateful."

Black Phoenix raised his hand and took out a box.

There were lots and lots of exquisite candies in that box.

Lin Cheng walked back to the orphanage with her and distributed candies to the children in the orphanage. Many children surrounded Hei Huang and called her "beautiful sister". Hei Huang squatted down and chatted with the children. Lin Cheng looked at the scene in front of him and found it unexpectedly harmonious.

Lin Cheng stayed with her in the orphanage for the whole afternoon. She had made an appointment with the administrator of the orphanage yesterday. She came to donate a large sum of money to the orphanage. At noon, the two of them stayed in the orphanage for lunch. In the evening, Hei Huang and Lin Cheng stood in the yard for a few seconds. She put her hand on Lin Cheng's shoulder and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"You seem to like children."

Because the whole afternoon, Hei Huang played the role of a gentle big sister. She and Lin Cheng played "Eagle Catches Chicken" and skipped rope with these children, and her smile was so sweet.

Black Phoenix shook his head. "I can't say I like them, but children are better than adults. Whether they are good or evil, they are pure, not as complicated as adults."

She turned towards Lin Cheng and said softly, "Let's go, let's go have dinner."

"Hmm? What to eat?"

"Accompany me to the supermarket."

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

Lin Cheng accompanied Hei Huang to the supermarket, watched her choose the ingredients, and then accompanied her back home. Seeing the seasonings and the apron hanging in the kitchen, Lin Cheng was a little surprised, "You can cook for yourself?"

"I'm different from you. I have a human body, and my sense of taste and touch are normal. The food I cook myself tastes better than the food sold outside."

She said, tying on her apron, "Just sit down and wait for me. If you're bored, you can watch TV or play games on my computer."

As she spoke, she sat on a chair, took off her high heels, and stepped her tender white feet into the furry rabbit slippers. Lin Cheng watched her put on an apron and went to the kitchen. He sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. Half an hour later, the aroma of food came from the kitchen.

Lin Cheng prefers dishes with heavier flavors, so Hei Huang cooked Sichuan cuisine. Lin Cheng watched her carry out the dishes and helped to serve the rice and dishes. Hei Huang took off her apron and took out two bottles of beer and two chilled cups from the refrigerator.

"There's also beer?" Lin Cheng was shocked and a little surprised.

"I drink a little from time to time, and it feels great to be a little tipsy."

She picked up the beer and poured it into the glass. Lin Cheng looked at the foam rising up, leaned in and took a big sip. He picked up the rice bowl and tasted a piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks. After a moment, his eyes widened slightly.

“You’re a great cook.”

Black Phoenix smiled, "Then eat more."

Lin Cheng ate two large bowls of rice and slumped in the chair after eating. Hei Huang cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. When she came out after washing the dishes, she looked at Lin Cheng and asked, "So, do you want to watch TV together for a while?"

"What kind of number is this?"

"Don't you think we look like a newlywed couple?" Hei Huang came and sat down beside him, her delicate hands gently resting on his shoulders. She leaned close to Lin Cheng's ear and spoke softly with a hint of coquettishness, "Hubby, you've worked hard all day, let me give you a massage."

Lin Cheng shuddered all over.

It's too weird.

Hei Huang's hands gently kneaded his shoulders, and her pink tongue slid across his ears. Lin Cheng suddenly didn't want to move. The closer she got, the clearer the fragrance Lin Cheng could smell. She smelled so good.

"Just lie down nice and still." Black Phoenix whispered in his ear.

Lin Cheng's head was confused and he lay down subconsciously. The sofa was wide enough, so Hei Huang sat beside him and massaged his legs and shoulders. Lin Cheng looked at her snow-white and delicate profile and was about to faint.

After a while, Lin Cheng was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep. Hei Huang gently pulled him up and took the sofa blanket to cover them both. She curled up beside Lin Cheng and rested her head on his shoulder. "Let's watch TV for a while and then take a shower together."

"Take a bath together?"

"Hmm?" Hei Huang turned his face, almost touching Lin Cheng's face, and blinked innocently, "Don't you want to take a bath with me?"

No, it's not.

This is only the first day, Lin Xiaocheng, this is only the first day.

"Let's... wash separately." Lin Cheng answered with difficulty.

"Eh?" The corners of Black Phoenix's lips curled up, "Okay, then finish watching this episode first, I'll go take a shower first."

She moved her body towards Lin Cheng again, her sweet and soft body was filled with an indecent scent. After arriving home, she took off her lavender top, leaving only a halter-style fishtail skirt with floral patterns. Her soft breasts were just the right size, revealing a little bit of whiteness that made people want to bury their face in them.

317 Dreamland

"Which nightgown looks better?"

Hei Huang stood in front of him, holding two nightgowns, one black and one purple. The black one looked cold and charming on her, while the lavender one looked as elegant as lilac. Lin Cheng was seriously struggling for a while, "I think the purple one looks better."

"So it doesn't look good in black?" Black Phoenix blinked at him with a sly smile.

After a while, she went to the bathroom carrying her nightgown. The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Lin Cheng walked to the balcony and looked at the snowflakes floating quietly outside the window. He walked into Hei Huang's room, trying to find some traces of her daily life in her room.

He thought that Hei Huang's room would be very simple, but when he walked in, he found that there were several rabbit dolls on her bed, cartoon figures on the table, and a super luxurious computer with flashing lights. There were many exquisite dresses in the closet, all kinds of socks rolled up and placed in boxes, and there were many perfumes in front of the dressing mirror.

It's like...she's just an ordinary girl.

Hei Huang's computer was not turned off, and Lin Cheng saw Rick and Morty paused on her background webpage. There was also a half-eaten bag of potato chips on the table.

Lin Cheng opened her cabinet and saw the jewelry boxes in the cabinet. The necklaces and rings were placed in different boxes. He opened the cabinet below and saw a box. In the box were the medals awarded by the alliance in the past. He didn't expect that she still kept these things.
