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

"Ok?"

"It's okay. Let's go take a shower." Hei Huang's hand was on his chest. Lin Cheng obediently turned around and walked towards the bathroom, but after a second, Hei Huang suddenly raised her legs and hooked her arms around his waist, pulling him back again.

The soft piece of cloth was thrown into Lin Cheng's hands. Her fingertips entangled a strand of hair on her cheek and she whispered, "Help me put it on."

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

After taking a shower, Lin Cheng came back wrapped in a bath towel.

The bed had been warmed up by Black Phoenix. When he got into the bed, he suddenly realized that the girl in the bed...her nightgown was gone, but her underwear was still on.

Lin Cheng took a deep breath, moved closer, looked at Hei Huang's cunning smile, suddenly hugged her in his arms, and then slapped her on the butt. Hei Huang whimpered, and then punched his chest with her little fist.

"Put on your skirt properly." Lin Cheng tried hard to make his tone sound serious.

But Black Phoenix just drew circles on his chest with her fingers, "But you're going to eat me in three days, why don't you feel it first? For example, touch my waist, touch my legs... or something like that."

Seeing that Lin Cheng didn't say anything, Hei Huang crawled out of the quilt, picked up the skirt on the bed again, put it on obediently, and snuggled into his arms again. She rubbed her body against Lin Cheng for a long time until Lin Cheng hugged her in his arms and she calmed down.

"Good night." She suddenly leaned close and kissed Lin Cheng on the lips.

"Good night." Lin Cheng closed his eyes.

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

Strange dreams once again invaded him.

The sky turned blood red, a blood-colored vortex swirled above the dome, and countless abyss creatures fell from it.

In the center of the bloody vortex, there was a strange black bird flapping its wings. Black flames were burning on the bird’s body, and the flames were constantly devouring the creatures from the abyss.

It is clear that the strange birds are also filled with the breath of the abyss, but they are killing each other.

Then where is he?

Suddenly he came to the center of the vortex and stood in front of the strange black bird. He seemed to vaguely hear the strange bird's mournful cry. Everything in the world was suddenly frozen, as if the blood-red sky was frozen into an oil painting.

He heard a soft murmur like a dream in his ear, as if saying goodbye to someone.

"Don't... become a god."

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

Lin Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

He forgot what he had dreamed about, but he always felt his cheeks were a little wet and hot. He just stretched out his hand, but the fingertips of the Black Phoenix had already touched his cheek and wiped away the tears on his cheek.

"A nightmare?" she asked softly.

"I don't know... I can't remember clearly, maybe."

The two of them lay on their sides, their eyes facing each other, and Black Phoenix suddenly came over, "Let's kiss?"

"Ok?"

"Forget all the nightmares."

Before Lin Cheng could refuse, the girl's pink lips approached again.

How did they suddenly develop from being friends to hugging and kissing in bed?

Lin Cheng spent a minute but didn't figure out the problem. He felt that even if he was given another five or ten minutes, he might not be able to figure it out.

Maybe there are some things that don’t need to be thought about so clearly.

Hei Huang really liked putting her legs on him. Lin Cheng's fingertips felt the warmth of her skin. As expected, a kiss could make all worries disappear. Lin Cheng forgot about what Meng had done.

Until they separated, Black Phoenix looked into his eyes, "Okay, get up and run with me."

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

A park filled with morning mist.

Lin Cheng and Hei Huang sat on the swing in the park. Hei Huang was wearing hot pants, with her legs tightly together. She looked at the dead branches.

Today is day 5.

"So why did you say in such a confident tone... I will definitely fall in love with you in seven days?" Lin Cheng still felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that Hei Huang himself was not a normal person, so whatever was wrong was reasonable.

"You seem to have misunderstood what I meant." Black Phoenix raised his head slightly and said softly, "I meant that you will still do it with me in seven days. As for love... love is more like an abstract thing to you, used to prove the meaning of your existence, so it is not important."

"You seem to know me very well."

"Of course." Black Phoenix suddenly laughed, "Because we were in love before."

Lin Cheng was stunned.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the Black Phoenix in front of him in surprise. The corners of the Black Phoenix's lips were slightly raised, but her voice was so calm just now, as if she was stating a trivial matter. Lin Cheng's brain began to work rapidly, and he couldn't help asking, "When?"

"In the time that has already happened." Black Phoenix gently hugged his shoulders, "Do you understand?"

Lin Cheng once used his ability to analyze fate to read Black Phoenix's ability. Black Phoenix's ability was not a simple reversal of time, but a distortion of rules that was even more extreme than the distortion of reality. It was an ability that could not be replicated by fate, so her ability also had the potential to become a god.

"I do not understand."

"In another timeline, you once said you loved me."

"What happened in that timeline?"

"We first met in an orphanage and grew up together. My abilities awakened first, and I took care of you until your abilities awakened. Then we joined the alliance together, and you became more powerful than me. Later, you went to the abyss, and when you came back from the abyss, we got married."

"and then?"

"Then... you cheated on me with another woman, so I stopped loving you and went back to the timeline of our meeting at the orphanage. But I didn't bring you with me anymore. When we met again in the Alliance, I didn't pay much attention to you because you were a playboy, hehe."

"Is it true?" Lin Cheng was skeptical.

Black Phoenix turned around and stared at him seriously for several seconds. Looking at Lin Cheng's bewildered eyes, he suddenly burst out laughing, "Did you really believe it just now?"

Lin Cheng glanced at her faintly and said, "I almost believed it because you really know me well."

"Because I only need to trace back the cause and effect to know what happened to you, so I know all your little thoughts and your little habits." Black Phoenix reached out and rubbed his head, "In my eyes, you are just a little boy."

"You talk like you're much older than me."

"Don't forget that I'm a time traveler, so... I've experienced much more than you, little one."

“…” Lin Cheng was speechless.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "So... in three months, you will leave, right?"

"Why, you can't bear to leave me?" Black Phoenix's calves swayed gently.

"Yes, a little bit." Lin Cheng did not deny it.

"It's too late." Black Phoenix said softly, "I don't have much time left. In three months, I must increase my energy points to one million, otherwise I will become a madman, a madman who aims to destroy the world. Abundant energy is the only way to keep me awake, so there is only this much time left."

Hei Huang stood up and walked forward. Lin Cheng followed her steps. After taking a few steps, Hei Huang suddenly said, "But you also said something like this before to keep me."

"and then?"

"Then I kept using my time to go back to the past to accompany you, but every time you would forget me. But it doesn't matter. You have no resistance to beautiful women. Every time you are conquered by me within seven days, hehe."

"Is this also a lie?"

"What do you guess?" Black Phoenix smiled faintly.

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

evening.

Hei Huang and Lin Cheng went to her coffee shop together. Only then did Lin Cheng realize that there was a wine cabinet on the second floor of the coffee shop, which contained a lot of fine wines. Hei Huang snapped her fingers, and the water in the glass condensed into ice cubes. Hei Huang poured the whiskey into the glass.

"What kind of wine is this?" Lin Cheng looked at the bunch of English letters on it curiously.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, any wine that can make you drunk is good wine, right?"

"That makes sense." It seems that Black Phoenix shares the same idea as him.

Before going out, Hei Huang wore a knitted sweater and a hip skirt, with slightly transparent black over-the-knee socks under the skirt, and her jet-black hair was tied into cute twin ponytails. Beautiful girls always have various outfits to give you different impressions, but her temperament has not changed much. There is always a fox-like cunning in her eyes, like a witch who likes to play with people's hearts.

Lin Cheng leaned back on the big, soft sofa, took a sip from the wine glass. The alcohol content of the wine was quite high, a little spicy in the throat, and the strong peat taste made Lin Cheng frown slightly, but he got used to it quickly and it seemed not bad.

Hei Huang also leaned on the sofa with her legs crossed, and black leather boots stepped on her ankles wrapped in black stockings.

"So which of your words are true and which are false?" Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask after all.

“Is the answer important to you?”

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

Black Phoenix gently took a sip of the wine in the glass, looked at Lin Cheng's dazed look, and smiled helplessly, "There are many things that people don't need to know. The more you know, the more painful it is. If you can be carefree all the time, you will always live in a happy world, right?"

This seems to be the case.

So children are always carefree because their world is relatively simple and there are not so many things to worry about. The more they know, the more troubles they will have.

"But I want to know." Lin Cheng looked into her eyes seriously.

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

"Have we really been in love?" This was Lin Cheng's first question.

"OK."

Unexpectedly, Black Phoenix's eyes did not evade, but nodded gently, "There is a timeline, we met in the orphanage, and I took you with me when I left. We lived together for a very long time. When you were fifteen years old, I accompanied you to join the alliance, and you proposed to me after you came back from the abyss."

"Did you agree?"

"As for this question... I don't want to answer you." Black Phoenix gently swung his ankles. "Later, my energy reached its peak and I was about to leave. I was a little reluctant to leave you, so I went back to the past and stayed with you for a few more years."

"and then?"

"Then I slowly got tired of you. Every time we met, it was like playing a love strategy game. This time was my last chance to go back for a long time, so I didn't start our story again. I have experienced the same story several times and it doesn't seem interesting anymore, so I really have to leave this time."

Black Phoenix clasped his hands together, "You don't have many memories of me this time, so even if I leave, you won't be too sad. I haven't let you down."

Lin Cheng drank all the wine in the glass, and then he threw the ice cube into his mouth and crushed it. He looked at the Black Phoenix in front of him and muttered incoherently, "What..."

"So the truth is a cruel thing. If you don't want to know...then I will go back to three minutes ago and reject your proposal?"

"Am I still me then?"

"So this is where it gets interesting. Memory is proof of a person's existence. Just like the you I saw in several timelines, you all have different personalities. My long-term retracing cannot completely trace you back to a fixed point in time. I also saw a timeline where you wanted to destroy the world, but you gave up later because you fell in love with a woman."

"..."

Black Phoenix came closer to him again, "In the past timelines, I once loved you, but after going through too many timelines, I realized that time travelers have no love. If love is a puzzle, I can find the correct answer to the puzzle through countless backtrackings, so I will get tired of love. So I said... maybe I have a way to make you fall in love with me, but I can't fall in love with you again."

"But..." Black Phoenix reached out and pinched Lin Cheng's face, "Don't be disappointed, you are still a guy who is worthy of love."

"Who is lost..." Lin Cheng answered dissatisfiedly, but his eyes looked away.

"Okay, okay, let's have one more drink then?" Black Phoenix chuckled helplessly, "Want to do it tonight?"

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Lin Cheng slowly moved his gaze back to Hei Huang's face. He did not tell his answer, but Hei Huang suddenly laughed, "I guess your answer is no."

too weird.

She could always guess all of Lin Cheng's thoughts. Lin Cheng even suspected that this guy had the ability to read minds, but this was not mind reading because she knew him too well.

"Don't look at me like that. Maybe it would be better if you treat me as an ordinary friend. If you don't want to, then have a couple more drinks tonight. I'll wait for you at home in two days. Do you remember where my home is?"

"remember."

"Well, then this wine party tonight will serve as a practice for me."

Hei Huang picked up the wine bottle and filled her glass. She also filled Lin Cheng's glass. She raised her glass and clinked it with Lin Cheng's. She moved closer, raised her head, and drank the full glass of wine in one gulp. However, she just wiped her lips lightly, her eyes as bright as before.
