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

When we left the coffee shop, it was snowing heavily outside.

Only snow can make people truly feel that deep winter has quietly arrived. The ground has become extremely slippery, and Lin Cheng's bike is definitely impossible to ride. Hei Huang walks beside Lin Cheng. She was obviously claiming to be a mature adult just now, but now she is jumping in the snow like a little girl.

Her small boots left footprints in the snow. Lin Cheng followed her and said, "Slow down."

Because Hei Huang drank a lot of wine, her blushing cheeks had already given Lin Cheng a glimpse of the clue before she left. She turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng, "I'm not drunk."

"I haven't even asked you if you were drunk yet, and you're already trying to prove your innocence?"

Black Phoenix looked at him reproachfully, with his hands on his hips, standing in the snow, "Then I'm drunk, you carry me home."

Lin Cheng squatted down and looked up at her.

The girl in front of him raised her lips, and jumped happily onto his back, hugging his neck tightly, with her long legs wrapped around his waist. Lin Cheng gently supported the girl's legs, stood up, and carried her on his back as he walked on the snow-covered street.

Hei Huang's cheek rested on the back of his neck, and the hot air from her lips fell on Lin Cheng, making him feel itchy.

Lin Cheng didn't say anything, just silently looked at the heavy snow in front of him. He was still thinking about what he had just said to Hei Huang. He couldn't tell clearly which ones were true and which ones were false, and his head was still dizzy from the alcohol. There was a time when he liked the feeling of being drunk very much, because he would not think about anything, he didn't need to think about anything... there would be no worries, no pain.

The world always becomes so quiet on a snowy day. Lin Cheng suddenly found that he couldn’t find the way back to Heihuang’s house.

"where is your house?"

"I have a poor sense of direction." Hei Huang leaned his head on his shoulder and answered in a daze.

"Tell me the address so I can look at the map."

"Go back to your home," she said.

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

So Lin Cheng carried Hei Huang back to his home.

But when he opened the door, he found that the lights in the living room were on, and the TV was on, but the girl on the sofa had fallen asleep. Lin Cheng first put Hei Feng on the sofa, then walked to the girl on the sofa, reached out and gently pinched her face.

Jiang Lingxue opened her eyes dazedly.

"Why didn't you send me a message before you came?" Lin Cheng looked into her eyes.

"I sent it...but you didn't reply to me."

"I was just drinking with some friends." Lin Cheng explained softly, took out his cell phone and took a look, only to find that the phone had run out of battery and turned off at some point. Jiang Lingxue moved her eyes to Hei Huang's face beside her.

After a moment her eyes became alert because the Black Phoenix was so beautiful.

"Who is she?" Jiang Lingxue put her hands on her hips and began to question.

"My good friend from the Alliance got drunk and couldn't find her home, so she brought her home to me."

"Oh..." The arrogance in Jiang Lingxue's eyes weakened again.

Because if it was a woman with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, Lin Cheng would definitely not bother to lie, mainly because his eyes were very sincere. Jiang Lingxue was actually very good at knowing when Lin Cheng was telling the truth and when he was being stubborn.

"Then if she's here... where do we sleep?"

"It seems that I can only mess with him on the sofa."

Jiang Lingxue and Lin Cheng looked at each other and laughed. Lin Cheng carried Hei Huang to his room, put Hei Huang on the bed, and covered him with a blanket. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Hei Huang, who had fallen asleep, slowly opening his eyes and suddenly whispered to him, "Lin Cheng..."

"Hmm?" Lin Cheng stopped and waited for her next words.

"Are you going to have sex with another woman?"

"So you're not asleep."

"I've been awake the whole time...but I feel a little dizzy..."

"So don't drink so much? Go to sleep."

"Oh... Don't do it too many times." She stared at Lin Cheng in front of her, "There are still two days."

Lin Cheng didn't know what to say, so he just answered okay, then turned off the lights in the room and walked out. He came to the sofa in the living room. Jiang Lingxue was wearing a black off-shoulder dress, and her legs under the skirt seemed to be wearing ultra-thin transparent stockings. Lin Cheng couldn't tell the difference, so he touched it, and indeed he felt the silky touch of the stockings at his fingertips.

"Such thin stockings."

"Hehe, is there still any fragrant smell? Do you want to try it?"

"No way." Lin Cheng held Jiang Lingxue in his arms, but Jiang Lingxue soon became dissatisfied with being held like this. She climbed up, straddled Lin Cheng, her knees against the soft sofa, her hands on his shoulders, and leaned in to kiss his lips.

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

The door quietly opened a crack.

Hei Huang stood in the shadow behind the door. The two of them had not turned off the lights in the living room. Jiang Lingxue was still wearing her skirt, although the hem had slipped down to her waist.

Black Phoenix's eyes became somewhat complicated.

Seeing the boy who grew up with you being ridden by another woman is indeed a particularly subtle feeling.

In this timeline, this is the fifth time that Hei Huang has met Lin Cheng.

Many times, Hei Huang would have fuzzy memories, because there were always some stories in different timelines that were the same. The first time she heard the name Lin Cheng was when she learned that the name under Siming's mask was Lin Cheng. In the first timeline, their lives had no intersection, and the last intersection was that she eventually died at the hands of Siming.

She did not hate Siming, because she was a monster that existed to destroy humanity, and monsters should be killed.

In the second timeline, Hei Huang came to the orphanage and met the young Siming. She awakened her abilities and easily seduced Siming to leave the orphanage with her childhood beauty. She raised the young Siming into a well-behaved boy who would cook for her at home every day, tell her bedtime stories, and was obedient and sensible and had a crush on her.

In this timeline, she and Siming have been together the longest. But she brought Siming with her at first, not because she had any affection for this man, but because she knew that one day in the future, he would definitely kill her, so she wondered if she could change this ending? Siming in this timeline joined the alliance with her when he was fifteen years old. The two never concealed their relationship in front of outsiders. They were heroes who saved the world. Later, when Siming was eighteen years old, he went to the abyss alone. She waited quietly in this world.

After Siming came back, he took off his mask and was no longer Siming. Instead, he was the guy named Lin Cheng, who knelt on one knee in front of her and proposed to her.

She thought she would never fall in love with him, and all her kindness to him was a lie. But at that moment, she suddenly felt as if her human heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat violently again.

This time she did change the ending of being killed by Siming, because even though she had turned into a monster, he was willing to release all the seals and tried to reverse the ending by becoming a god, but becoming a god... meant that Lin Cheng no longer existed, so she went back to the past again.

In the third timeline, she secretly fanned the flames, turning Siming, who was supposed to save the world, into a super villain who hated the world and wanted to destroy all mankind. When she saw his gloomy appearance, she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart... If the ending of destruction cannot be reversed no matter what, then let's destroy the world together.

But in the end, he gave up destroying everything because he fell in love with a girl named Jiang Li.

Siming, who said in the second timeline that he would only love her forever, will also meet different people at different times, meet each other, and then fall in love.

On the fourth timeline.

In the fourth timeline, she just met the young Lin Cheng in the orphanage, grabbed this guy's lips and gave him a kiss, so that no matter which woman he kissed in the future, the first girl he kissed would be her. Then she deleted his memory and left the orphanage. Later, she met Lin Cheng who joined the Alliance again, but she did not tell him the story of the orphanage. After retiring from the Alliance, she avoided all intersections with Lin Cheng, walked in the world for more than ten years, and collected enough energy... But at that time his energy was close to one million, and he felt the cause and effect of these timelines, so at the last moment of her plan, he once again opened the Long Stairs to Godhood, trying to reverse her ending.

So she used the last of her strength to return to this final timeline.

This time... he won't know anymore.

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

The girl on the sofa had collapsed on Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng's hand gently stroked her back, and the sounds of their breathing became so clear in the living room. He buried his cheek in the girl's chest, smelling the faint fragrance on her body.

She saw Lin Cheng playfully lift up Jiang Lingxue's skirt and slap her soft snow-white buttocks, which trembled slightly. Jiang Lingxue lowered her head and gently bit his shoulder, but she said, "More...harder..."

Hei Huang quietly closed the door again, went back to the room and lay back on the bed.

She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and looked at the ceiling.

Once upon a time, this was her home. She had slept in the arms of that guy in this room for countless nights. What she remembered most were the times when that guy was gentle and shy. But he was a bad guy in this timeline.

Hei Huang clenched the quilt with his fingertips, turned sideways, closed his eyes, and muttered softly.

She actually didn't care that much.

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

The next day, early morning.

The sofa in Lin Cheng's house is very big. Lin Cheng brought a quilt over and fell asleep on the sofa with Jiang Lingxue. Jiang Lingxue slept soundly in his arms. Hei Huang woke up very early. She put on her clothes and came to the living room. The footsteps made Lin Cheng open his eyes. Hei Huang's eyes looked down at her. At this moment, her eyes seemed to have returned to their previous indifference and arrogance, and all the sweetness disappeared.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I'm leaving now."

"Okay." Lin Cheng nodded gently and pulled the quilt over Jiang Lingxue's exposed shoulders. After a moment, he looked at Hei Huang's back as he left and confirmed again, "I'll come to see you in two days?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Hei Huang answered calmly, then opened the door, and his figure disappeared from Lin Cheng's sight.

322 daisuki

"So what did she want to see you for two days later?"

Jiang Lingxue was sitting at the dining table. In her bowl were the dumplings that Lin Cheng had just cooked. The dumplings were the ones that Xu Wanyue had asked him to take away from home last time. They were made by Xu Wanyue and his sister themselves and were filled with celery and pork.

Lin Cheng dipped the dumplings on his chopsticks in vinegar and replied, "I have to give all the excess energy to her. Otherwise, if it stays on me, it will catalyze the power of the Queen of the Abyss. If my defense is broken and my heart is shattered one day, it will easily cause trouble."

"Transfer energy? What method?" Jiang Lingxue asked casually.

"It's probably what you think. There's no other way but to do this."

"Okay!" Jiang Lingxue raised her head, picked up the chopsticks and tapped the bowl, then snorted, "I caught you eating secretly!"

Lin Cheng stuffed the dumpling into his mouth and said, "It doesn't count as stealing now that I've told you."

"How can you be so confident?" Jiang Lingxue looked into his eyes. "It's just a matter of transferring energy. Don't you have any other ideas?"

Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"You hesitated!"

"No, I don't think so."

"should?"

Lin Cheng smiled helplessly, "In three months she will leave this world. I don't know where she will go, so how can I miss her?"

Jiang Lingxue seemed to lose her temper all of a sudden, "Oh."

"She has the ability to go back to the past. She said she was married to me in a certain timeline in the past." Lin Cheng thought about it and decided to tell this matter.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lingxue was stunned. "Then what?"

"That's all. I didn't have much interaction with her in this timeline, and I don't have any feelings for her."

"Then she has feelings for you." Jiang Lingxue's eyes were suddenly full of vigilance again.

"She said no."

"Marriage is a very important thing for a woman. I don't believe that she has no feelings for you."

"It's not like all women are the same."

"You are not a woman so you don't understand women." Jiang Lingxue's tone was particularly firm.

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

Jiang Lingxue left in the evening.

Lin Cheng still hasn't found the right opportunity to give her the diamond ring he bought. He always feels like if he suddenly takes it out and says he bought her a gift, Jiang Lingxue might think it's perfunctory?

But Lin Cheng couldn't think of any romantic ideas. He had never been a romantic and passionate person. The diamond ring on his body became a little hot.

Perhaps Jiang Lingxue was right. How could he understand a woman's mind since he was not a woman? But there seemed to be no woman around him for him to consult. How should he give the diamond ring to Jiang Lingxue so that she would not feel so perfunctory?

Or... ask Black Phoenix?

Lin Cheng thought so.

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

Jiang Lingxue confirmed it again from the chat history.

She specifically bribed the clerk of the jewelry store. The clerk in charge of sales said particularly firmly that the guy named Lin Cheng bought the pair of diamond rings ten days ago and paid the full amount directly, which was as easy as buying a cabbage at the vegetable market.

What about her diamond ring? How about such a big diamond ring?

Jiang Lingxue was already looking forward to the moment when that guy would suddenly take out a diamond ring and hand it to her. She felt that she didn't need to prepare, tears would fall when the time came... But she stayed at Lin Cheng's house for a whole day, and she saw this guy hesitate to speak several times. Her heart was in her throat, and she was ready to cry, but he didn't take out the diamond ring.

Could it be that he was actually planning to buy it for another woman? No... No, this guy wouldn't be that extreme.

What about her diamond ring? Jiang Lingxue wants Yu Yu.

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

Lin Cheng planned to go find Hei Huang again in two days.

Hei Huang was a dangerous bad woman. What if he stayed with her for a day or two longer and really fell in love with her? Then she would leave and he would be very disappointed. Lin Cheng hated parting. Perhaps Hei Huang also took this into consideration, so she asked him to come back in two days.

It’s like planting flowers. In order to avoid seeing the petals wither, it’s better not to plant flowers.

But what about the previous five days?

Lin Cheng looked through his phone but couldn't find anyone to ask about how he should hand over the diamond ring to Jiang Lingxue. If he asked Lu Xiaoxiao, she would die. If he asked Xu Wanyue, Xu Wanyue might really consider it seriously for him, but she might also be secretly unhappy.
