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

"Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Go home." Lin Cheng sat in the passenger seat of Hong Shao's car. He couldn't help but glance at the woman's profile and muttered to himself in his heart, her ability is so terrifying.

Hong Shao's ability is the most advanced charm. Different from those so-called charms that make people desire, her ability seems to be somewhat like modifying cognition or manipulating puppets.

Lin Cheng told Hong Shao her home address. Hong Shao drove silently and seriously, but she casually mentioned, "My ability is not permanent. It will only last for a few days at most. By then, Viper will probably join forces with Black Beast to attack us... Are you ready?"

"Contact Litchi and ask Litchi to get it done."

"You're not contributing?" Hong Shao was stunned.

Lin Cheng answered innocently, "How can I have any fighting ability? Just let Lizhi handle this matter. She will contact you."

Fifteen days ago, Lin Cheng discussed cooperation with Hong Shao in that room.

The West City has been acting too rampant recently. They have disobeyed the rules many times and broken the absolutely unforgivable rules. Logically, the Alliance should not let them go on like this, but for some reason, the Alliance seems to have paid no attention to this matter at all, so... Lin Cheng is going to discuss such a cooperation with Hong Shao.

The east and north of the city joined forces to sanction the west of the city.

"I thought... you would do it yourself when the time comes." Hong Shao's tone was meaningful.

"No, buddy is done for."

"There are three S-class black beasts, one of which is a psychic that can temporarily make other people immune to my abilities. My sister's ability cannot be used during this period. There is another S-class in the garden, but it is obviously not enough... What kind of combat power does your fruit shop have? Should you tell me first? Otherwise... it will be difficult for me to feel at ease."

"It's fun to be uneasy, isn't it?"

"I'm not a gambler." Hong Shao grumbled in dissatisfaction, then looked at him curiously, "At least you have to let me know what the fruit shop's trump card is, right?"

Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment.

“Grapes weren’t called grapes before.”

"What is that?" Hong Shao obviously already had her information, but it was just a guess that had not been confirmed so far. She wanted to hear Lin Cheng's answer in person.

"Moon Evil."

Hong Shao's body suddenly froze. She suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned around, and stared at Lin Cheng in front of her with wide eyes, "Why... is she here with you?!"

"Didn't you already guess that she was from Silver Wing?"

"But I didn't know she was once the leader of Silver Wing! I thought she was just Silver Wing's gold medal killer... How did you kidnap her to the fruit shop?!"

Lin Cheng thought about it seriously and pointed to his face.

“I’m good-looking.”

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

Lin Cheng returned home again.

Although Hongshao still wanted to know more from him, Lin Cheng really found her annoying, so he went back first and let her guess slowly. It was already evening when she got home. Lin Cheng took a shower first, then rolled over and over on the bed without clothes, then put on his clothes silently and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The sky outside the window has darkened. There are no stars in the city night, only a lonely moon.

He turned sideways and looked at the dark sky outside the window for a long time until he heard the door opening outside the living room. When he turned around, Lizhi, who was wearing a white shirt and a hip skirt, opened the door of his room and stood by his door.

"Why are you here?" Lin Cheng looked at her curiously.

"I was worried that you couldn't sleep, so I came to check on you."

"Eh? Is there a sleeping companion reward for successful mission?"

Lizhi rolled her eyes, sat on the edge of the bed, and took off her high heels. Before Lin Cheng could say anything, she had already reached the bed and lay down next to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

The room became so quiet that he could almost hear Lizhi's heartbeat. After a while, Lizhi asked softly, "Didn't we agree to live an ordinary life?"

"I'm not..."

"Why did you go to Carrot Hill that day?"

"Take Lu Xiaoxiao to see the stars."

"I'm not talking about that time, the last time." Lizhi asked calmly.

Lin Cheng didn't dare to speak. After several seconds, Lizhi asked, "After luring and killing the blood-sucking worms?"

"No, how do you know that I..."

"There is a locator I installed in your car."

"Hehe, what a controlling woman!"

Lizhi reached out and slapped him hard on the butt, "Be obedient, bastard!"

"It hurts, it hurts." Lin Cheng turned around and faced Lizhi. He thought for a moment and muttered in a pleading voice, "There's nothing to do... Find something fun for yourself."

"I knew you wouldn't listen." Lizhi looked at him dimly. Lin Cheng was speechless, not knowing what to say. After a long while, Lizhi said softly, "Leave this matter to me, okay?"

"Of course I believe in Lychee Baby unconditionally."

"I will take care of the issues in the west part of the city. You don't need to do anything. You've already played with the new toys I gave you anyway."

"it is good."

Lizhi reached out and grabbed Lin Cheng's face, "Look into my eyes and say it again."

"I promise that I will not get involved in what happens in Chengxi next."

Lizhi's lips curled up slightly, she let go of his hand and continued to stare at him, "You slept with Xu Wanyue?"

"I swear to God, I have never done anything to her." Lin Cheng felt like he was just about to raise his hand and swear.

Lizhi said, "Will that happen in the future?"

"will not."

"You hesitated for 0.9 seconds."

“The important thing is that the answer is no.”

"You'd better not." Lizhi snorted, "Haven't we slept together for a long time?"

"So do we want to sleep together tonight?" Lin Cheng winked at her.

"I'm going to take a shower." Lizhi sat up from the bed. Lin Cheng watched her leave the room, and his heart began to beat inexplicably.

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

Half an hour later.

Lizhi, wearing a white nightgown, walked back into the room. She turned on the light in the room and stood under the light. Lin Cheng looked at her.

Lizhi has always had short black hair over the years. This hairstyle makes her, who already looks a little immature, look more like a pure high school student. At this moment, she is wearing a thin white dress. The collar of the dress reveals her slender collarbone, and the hem reaches her knees, and a small piece of thigh skin can be vaguely seen.

Litchi is a slender type, different from Xu Wanyue's lychee which is inexplicably astringent. She is like an unripe lychee, but after peeling the shell, the white, tender and soft flesh inside is revealed, making people want to take a bite.

I finally feel like a high school student.

Lizhi kicked off her slippers and came to the bed. Lin Cheng squinted his eyes slightly, "Why is the light on?"

"Does the nightgown look good?" Lizhi knelt on the bed and moved a little closer to him. Lin Cheng carefully examined it from top to bottom and gave his evaluation, "It looks good, suits you, and is very cute."

"You've never praised me with any other words except 'I'm cute.'" Lizhi reached out and poked him on the forehead.

"No way, I even praised her... for being beautiful."

"No matter." Lizhi turned around again, and then naturally fell into his arms. Lin Cheng hesitated for a moment, then gently put his arms around her shoulders. Her body was so slender that he didn't feel any flesh when he hugged her, but she felt very warm.

"It seems like you haven't hugged me for a long, long time."

"is it?"

"I think so. My memory is starting to get fuzzy. When was the last time we slept together?"

"About a year or two ago..." Lin Cheng tried to recall, but couldn't remember clearly.

The lychees from a year or two ago were not yet mature.

Lin Cheng lowered his head and sniffed her. She had a fresh scent like jasmine, and seemed to have a slight hint of milk. The girl's body was always fragrant and soft.

"I'm nineteen years old." Lizhi said suddenly.

"What? Nineteen years old is nothing special. I'm almost twenty-one." Lin Cheng's fingertips touched Lizhi's hair, and he played with Lizhi's hair like a naughty child.

"Haha, old thing."

“…” Lin Cheng was speechless.

"I heard that Xu Wanyue has been staying with you during the day recently?"

"I open her energy nodes and she cooks for me."

"Oh." Lizhi said.

She can't cook.

"I thought you were going to try to trick her into bed."

"Please, is this how I appear to you?"

"Who knows what a loner who stays at home all day reading all kinds of weird books and playing all kinds of porn will desire in his heart?"

“…I didn’t play.”

"hehe."

"Wait, you're not even monitoring my computer, are you?" Lin Cheng looked down at Lizhi, but Lizhi's eyes were innocent. Innocent doesn't mean nothing, but... I am monitoring it, what can you do to me?

"Oh, it's always lonely when you're alone." Lin Cheng's face turned red.

"After she left...did you feel lonely?"

Obviously Lizhi was referring to the former hostess of this house.

"That's better than staying here with me, like a dead person, with nothing in my head but doi."

"How did you quarrel with her in the first place?"

"I thought if I treated her well, played games with her and went on dates with her every day, she would become more cheerful, but it seemed like I spoiled her. So after thinking about it, I decided to kick her out... Isn't she doing well now?"

"You mean we spent at least 200 million on her to get her to where she is now? You really dote on her."

"I just wanted to give her a little help, don't let her know it was me who helped her..."

"You obviously mean to let her know that you are secretly helping her, and at the same time let her know that you don't want her to know. Hehe, what a ridiculous self-esteem."

Lizhi looked out the window. "Her self-esteem is much stronger than yours, but she knew about this but didn't refuse... In fact, she still regrets being so proud at that time, right? This is also her way of giving in to you."

"I don't believe she will regret it."

"We're organizing a team building in a while. Do you want to invite her to join us?"

"It's up to you."

"I can't guess whether you want me to call her or not. You've always been so awkward, idiot." Lizhi muttered.

Lin Cheng hesitated for several seconds, "Let's not call her. Isn't her movie coming out soon? She should be very busy."

"Okay." Lizhi's lips curled up.

After a while, Lizhi moved her body and leaned her cheek on Lin Cheng's shoulder. Lin Cheng turned off the lights in the room, and the only sound in the room was the silence of breathing.

"Are you still having nightmares recently?" Lizhi asked him softly.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. Don't worry." Lin Cheng turned around and gently hugged Lizhi into his arms. Lizhi closed her eyes. "Good night."

"Good night." Lin Cheng suddenly lowered his head and kissed Lizhi gently on the forehead.

Lizhi didn't say anything, but the hand holding him trembled slightly.

39 Shame

When Lin Cheng woke up, he heard the sound of rustling rain.

He slowly opened his eyes, but Lizhi in his arms disappeared. Only a strange panting sound seemed to come from the earphones. He turned around and saw Lizhi sitting on his chair. Lizhi's body was curled up on the chair. When she heard Lin Cheng sitting up, she pressed her fingertips on the table lightly, turned the chair around, and looked at Lin Cheng face to face, "Awake?"

"What are you doing?" Lin Cheng looked at her computer vigilantly.

"play games."
