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

If I ask Litchi, I will die. I might even be scolded on the feet all night. I don’t know where Litchi got so many cute little socks. If I ask Grape... Grape probably isn’t good at this kind of thing.

Ask Ji Zhezhi? Hahaha, he was lucky that Ji Zhezhi didn't give him a sword. Ask Qin Wutong? Qin Wutong is a stupid roe deer.

Then who should I ask?

Lin Cheng suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any female friends in the normal sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have any same-sex friends either, which was a sad thing.

Fortunately, he soon didn't have to think about who to ask, because a very suitable person knocked on his door.

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

Xia Ning's actions were quite sneaky.

After Lin Cheng opened the door, she slipped in. Lin Cheng closed the door and looked at this guy. She was wearing a furry hat and a mask on her fair face. She looked guilty. Lin Cheng asked, "Why do you look like a thief?"

"I told Jiang Lingxue that I had a promotional video to shoot tonight, so I sneaked out."

"So what's the point of lying?"

"What if she knows I'm here to see you... and gets jealous?"

"I don't think she would want to say anything even if you told her directly that you came to play with me."

"No way, you don't understand women at all." Xia Ning sat on her sofa and stretched. She was wearing a cute white sweatshirt, jeans, white sneakers, and her hair was tied into cute double pigtails, looking like a girl next door.

"You're here at the right time. I just have something troublesome thing to ask you." Lin Cheng walked to her side and handed her the slippers. Xia Ning bent down to take off her white sneakers. Damn, she was wearing white stockings with white lace pattern under her jeans. Lin Cheng curiously lifted up the leg of her jeans and took a look. It seemed that she was still wearing pantyhose.

"What's the matter?" Xia Ning leaned lazily on the sofa, squinting at him, like a lazy cat.

"I'm more curious about why you're wearing white stockings under your pants..."

"It keeps you warm." Xia Ning blinked innocently and raised her feet wrapped in white silk. "And it's very cute."

"No one can see the cuteness anymore?"

"Don't you see it now?" Xia Ning tilted her head.

Lin Cheng thought about it and realized it made sense, so he stopped dwelling on it and slowly asked, "Some time ago, when Jiang Lingxue and I were shopping, she fell in love with a pair of diamond rings."

"Well, then what?"

"Then I bought it for her secretly... How do you think I should give it to her?"

"Diamond ring? Are you proposing?"

"No... it's just that it's not for proposing, so I'm worried about how I should give it to her."

"That's a good question." Xia Ning's eyes turned and she began to think seriously with Lin Cheng.

A minute or two later, Xia Ning asked out of the blue, "Don't you want to marry her?"

"Not really. I just think it's too early to get married now. This kind of thing is not within the scope of consideration. We will definitely get married in the future...but now she wants a diamond ring, so I bought it for her. But if I give it to her...but don't mention marriage, I feel like she will be unhappy."

"That's not necessarily true." Xia Ning's tone was not so sure. After a while, she suddenly said, "How about putting it in ice cream so that she can taste it?"

"What a cheesy idol drama plot."

"How about taking her to the movies and handing her over after the movie?"

"She and I both don't like most of the romantic movies currently on the market."

"How about I help you find out what she is saying, and then we can think of a solution?"

"Xia Xiaoning." Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and placed it on Xia Ning's head. Xia Ning looked up at him, and seeing his serious expression, she was confused. "What?"

"You can accomplish it, this task is given to you!"

Xia Ning's eyes were filled with resentment, as if she had been entrusted with an important mission. After a few seconds, she came to her senses. "Hey, it's very hurtful to ask a girl who likes you to help you figure out how to give the diamond ring to someone else, isn't it?"

"Have you completely stopped hiding the fact that you like me now?"

"Yes, I like you, Brother Lin Cheng."

Lin Cheng covered his face, "Can you remove the word brother? It's so embarrassing."

"No, it's Daisuki Lin Cheng brother."

Lin Cheng's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Xia Ning snorted and reached out to poke Lin Cheng's chest. "How are you going to repay me for helping you with such an important matter?"

"How do you want me to repay you?"

"How about sexual compensation?" Xia Ning was full of anticipation.

Lin Cheng stared at her seriously for several seconds. She looked like a proud little peacock just now, but suddenly became shy again. Her cheeks flushed as she looked away. "I'm just kidding. Don't stare at me... weird."

"Oh." Lin Cheng held Xia Ning in his arms and asked her to sit on his lap. He leaned over from behind and whispered to Xia Ning, "How about a massage and maintenance package for you?"

"What's there?"

"It's very comfortable anyway."

"Really?"

"More real than pearls."

"Then... let's try it." Xia Ning's voice became stammering, and her face turned red. After a while, she whispered, "I'm wearing some very nice underwear today... white lace..."

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

Lin Cheng's massage and maintenance package was developed based on Jiang Lingxue.

Miss Jiang Lingxue would be kissed, touched, hugged and rubbed by him until her whole body became soft. Xia Xiaoning was already wet before she even finished the steps.

Fortunately, she didn't struggle, and her skin turned pink. After it was over, she was dazed and lay on Lin Cheng, kissing his neck with her pink lips, saying that she wanted to reward him too...

But this guy has little canine teeth and is excessively clumsy.

"Stop biting, please, stop biting!"

"No, I'm not skilled...or, why don't you do it yourself..." Xia Ning replied aggrievedly.

323 Truth and Lies

The water poured down from the shower head.

Xia Ning covered her face with her fair little hands, but she couldn't help but quietly open her fingers and secretly look at Lin Cheng who was squeezing shower gel through her fingers.

"Are you going to do something bad to me?" She closed her legs and her voice became coy.

Lin Cheng patted the shower gel on her shoulder and replied, "No."

"What!" Xia Ning stomped her white and tender feet in the bathtub, but because the ground became slippery, her feet slipped and her body fell forward into Lin Cheng's arms.

Her skin was as hot as if Lin Cheng was holding a roasted sweet potato in winter.

Lin Cheng decided to convince the naive girl logically.

He rubbed the shower gel evenly on her back and said slowly, "Think about it, if you do something bad now, won't you be at a disadvantage?"

"Suffer a loss? You suffer a loss?" Xia Ning raised her head and blinked.

"No, you're the one who's at a disadvantage." Lin Cheng said softly, "You said you liked me, but I didn't say I liked you, right? If you do something bad and I just walk away, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"

"I believe you are a man who will run away if you don't eat him up completely." Xia Ning's eyes were really bright.

"Thank you for trusting me, Xia Xiaoning, but... I'd better not do bad things."

"Why?" Xia Ning raised her toes slightly and put her arms around his neck. "I've kissed you, touched you, and rubbed you... Now, you're saying you won't do bad things, so you won't do bad things. How can this make sense?"

"Based on my past experience," Lin Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued, "After your favorability is not high enough to unlock the 18+ plot, all kinds of painful entanglements will occur."

"for example?"

"For example, Lu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lingxue."

Now that I think about it, it seems that Lu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lingxue were both unlocked when their favorability was not high enough, and the subsequent process was always full of ups and downs. Lin Cheng's hand gently supported Xia Ning's slender shoulders, "So I think we should wait until the favorability is full before unlocking this kind of thing, and there is still time."

Xia Ning's eyes suddenly turned resentful. "So when will the favorability be full?"

"Actually, what's important is not how much I like you, but how much you like me." Lin Cheng's hand slid down from her waist a little bit, and the fragrant and smooth shower gel was rubbed on the girl's fragrant and soft skin, and it felt great.

"I... like you." Xia Ning bit her lips lightly, her eyes sincere.

"Well, I know, but we don't really know each other that well. Maybe what you see is just the me you imagined, or maybe what I see is just the you I imagined. We don't know each other well enough, and we both have many fantasies about each other. I understand that illusions are beautiful... but if we want to consider the long term, some fantasies still need to be transcended."

"Long... consideration?"

"If what you understand by love is just to be happy at this moment, then I can accompany you in whatever you want to do, and I will definitely not suffer any loss. But who can predict what will happen in the future? One day, you may suddenly get tired of each other. Sometimes when you like someone, anything he does can be a reason to like him, but when you hate someone, anything he does can be a reason to hate him. People are very fickle. I think that only when you understand each other well enough can you fall in love."

"It seems... to make some sense." Xia Ning began to waver.

"Anyway, even if she didn't do anything bad, our relationship is no longer just that of ordinary friends." Lin Cheng rubbed Xia Ning's snow-white face again.

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

Xia Ning put on cute koala pajamas and curled up in bed with Lin Cheng, who was watching anime with her.

"How many women have slept in this bed of yours?" Xia Ning asked suddenly.

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment and began to try hard to recall, but he couldn't remember. Anyway, the sheets on this bed had been changed twice, once because of Jiang Lingxue and once because of Lu Xiaoxiao.

"I can't remember." Lin Cheng answered frankly.

Xia Ning's head began to drill into his shoulder, "You can't remember anything? You scumbag!"

"..." Lin Cheng was unable to refute. He hugged Xia Xiaoning in his arms, hugged her sweet and soft body, and kissed her on the cheek.

Xia Ning calmed down in a second.

Her fingertips lightly touched the place that Lin Cheng had just kissed. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Then she suddenly leaned close and kissed Lin Cheng on the cheek.

The left side was not enough, so she turned Lin Cheng's face over and kissed Lin Cheng on the right cheek.

Then Lin Cheng grabbed his shoulders and kissed his lips.

Xia Ning has watched many idol dramas and has imagined what it would feel like to kiss. She suddenly realized that idol dramas are all lies. When kissing, the body will become very soft and just want to lean on the other person tightly.

Ten seconds later, Xia Ning, who was wearing a koala nightgown, buried her cheek in Lin Cheng's chest. Lin Cheng reached out and gently stroked her hair. Her hair was so smooth.

After a few seconds, Lin Cheng seemed to hear her silly laughter.

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

The next day, early morning.

Lin Cheng was awakened by Xia Ning who was lying in the quilt.

He raised his head, looked at Xia Ning's face which was far away from him, and watched her pink tongue lick her lips slightly.

"Good morning," she said.

"Morning, but why are you..."

"Ouch, bite you."

"..." Lin Cheng was so frightened that his whole body shuddered.

Fortunately, she didn't really bite.

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

Lin Cheng accompanied Xia Ning to the park, and they had lunch together outside at noon. After lunch, they walked hand in hand on the street. When they passed by a flower shop, Lin Cheng walked in and bought a white rose for her.

"Why is it a white rose... and not a red rose..." Xia Ning's expression seemed a little awkward.

"Because you are a cute type, I think white suits you better."

The awkwardness on Xia Ning's face disappeared in the next second. Her steps became lighter in an instant, and she skipped along the street holding Lin Cheng's hand.

Comfort her well.

Lin Cheng took a walk with her for the whole afternoon. When they returned home, Xia Ning was curious about his old masks and badges, so Lin Cheng simply took them all out for her, recalling the stories behind these badges, and gave her the first edition mask he had made when he was fifteen.

In the evening, Lin Cheng started to get busy in the kitchen. In the afternoon, he and Xia Ning went to the supermarket to buy vegetables. Xia Ning helped him peel garlic and wash vegetables. At the dinner table, she looked at Lin Cheng eagerly, "So can I stay tonight?"

Lin Cheng thought about it and said, "It's okay to have white silk."

"Hehehe." Xia Ning poured out a pair of over-the-knee white ice silk socks from the storage ring.

"Why are you so skilled..."

Lin Cheng saw how skillfully she took out the toothbrush, cup, bear pajamas and nightgown from her storage ring. Xia Ning hummed, "I brought a lot of things before coming to your house."

"What's there?"
