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

So Lin Cheng closed his eyes obediently, and this time it was Xu Wanyue's turn to open her eyes and look at him quietly, but her dark eyes quietly revealed a bit of sadness. She quickly stopped thinking about it, and couldn't think about it anymore. She responded to his actions in a daze. When Lin Cheng separated his lips from hers, Lin Cheng always felt as if his lips also had a minty taste.

Xu Wanyue took out a wet tissue from the small bag she carried with her, wiped his lips carefully first, then folded the wet tissue in half, gently wiped her lips, and then happily held his hand, "Let's go play bumper cars?"

"Okay."

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

Lin Cheng always felt that sometimes Xu Wanyue was as childish as he was.

The two were in different bumper cars, bumping into the kids in the amusement park. Many little boys especially liked to bump into Xu Wanyue with their cars, probably because Xu Wanyue was a pretty sister, and kids were the best at telling which sisters were pretty and which were not. Xu Wanyue was bullied and bumped into by a bunch of kids. Fortunately, Lin Cheng came to the rescue quickly and had a lot of fun playing with these eight or nine-year-old kids.

After getting off the bumper car, Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue sat on a bench, each holding a sausage in their hands. The sunlight was gentle and warm, and shadows were scattered on the ground. Xu Wanyue suddenly thought of something. She took out her cell phone, made a heart shape to her shadow, and then looked at Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand, and the fingertips of their shadows touched each other. Xu Wanyue took out her cell phone and took a few pictures. After taking the pictures, she put the phone away with satisfaction.

There are so many fun things in the amusement park. After eating the grilled sausages, Lin Cheng grabbed Xu Wanyue's hand and went boating with her. The white clouds were leisurely and the green water was quiet. The light shining on his body was so warm that he wanted to just lie down and take a nap lazily.

"You seldom go out, do you?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked her.

"Hehe, you're almost the same, so don't laugh at me."

"It's too painful to go out." Lin Cheng replied.

"Is it because I don't have any friends?" Xu Wanyue said softly, "I don't like going out either, because I don't have many friends, but sometimes it's quite fun to go shopping with Xiaoxiao."

"That's right." Lin Cheng smiled helplessly, "I always wanted to go out with the girl I lived with."

"and then?"

"But she didn't want to."

"If she doesn't want to... we can't force her, right?" Xu Wanyue hesitated and said in a low voice.

"Well, I shouldn't have pushed her."

Lin Cheng looked at the rockery in the distance. "But I don't know what to do. She has lived with me for more than a year. I have kept her at home, but she has always refused to go out. She wants to stay at home like a puppy for the rest of her life, without having to think about anything or do anything. It's as if that small room is her whole world."

"At that time, I was always self-righteous and thought that it was good for her. I thought that what she did was not good. If I didn't take the first step, I would never be able to change. The outside world might not be brilliant, but if I was alone all the time, the human part would gradually degenerate."

"But didn't she still have you at that time?" Xu Wanyue said softly.

"But I can't be her whole world." Lin Cheng suddenly turned his head, "In fact, you are still my first love."

"I don't believe it."

"I lived with her for more than a year, but we never mentioned liking or loving each other. In fact, we were more like family. No... I couldn't find the right adjective to describe our relationship. I regarded her as a part of my family, but she always said that we were more like master and puppy. I didn't understand what was right and what was wrong. At that time, I stubbornly hoped that her life would get better, but maybe it was just because... I was tired of her. I was just selfish and didn't want to take care of such a puppy anymore, so I always asked her to go out for a walk, because I knew she wouldn't agree, so she moved out tactfully later."

"I suddenly regretted the day she left that morning. I wanted to keep her. It was raining heavily that morning, and I hoped she would wait until the rain stopped before leaving. But she stubbornly packed her luggage, held an umbrella and went to take a taxi in the rain, leaving me alone."

"It was raining so hard...but she refused to stay for a few hours."

Lin Cheng's eyelashes drooped slightly.

"Although what you said makes sense, did you really say anything to keep her?"

"I say...why don't you wait until the rain stops before leaving?"

"I knew it." Xu Wanyue's eyes were dim. She suddenly reached out her hand, turned Lin Cheng's head around, and gently held her face with her hand. "Girls need to be coaxed."

She now seems like an older sister teaching her younger brother how to fall in love.

“…” Lin Cheng was speechless.

"Because you are too proud. You said before that she is also a very proud girl. But many times, the you in other people's eyes is not the real you. The others in your eyes are the real you." Xu Wanyue's eyes became so gentle. "You both seem to be equally proud. Obviously, only one of you needs to let go of a little dignity."

The smile on Lin Cheng's lips turned bitter, "I know."

"So... this time you still want me to play your girlfriend to be angry with her?" Xu Wanyue pinched his face gently.

"It's not to be angry with her, but to tell her that the memories of the past are over." Lin Cheng sighed softly, "Although it seems that you have suddenly become smart, it's not good to be too smart. I don't love her, and I don't want to be entangled with her to death. She has fulfilled my expectations at the beginning. Both of us are no longer as naive as before. She can live well by herself. She doesn't need me in her world anymore, so... I won't stay with her."

"What do you mean I suddenly became smart?"

"Because you have always been charming."

"what?"

"Mei has brains."

"..." Xu Wanyue looked at him dimly, "I've watched a lot of short videos about relationships between men and women recently. I'm already a love master!"

"…Even if you watch 10,000 short videos, it's just theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is meaningless in the face of real changes."

"But I saw that you looked very sad just now, and I thought you liked her very much."

"Because she has a really great figure." Lin Cheng looked regretful, and the sadness just now seemed to disappear without a trace.

As soon as Xu Wanyue released her hand that was pinching Lin Cheng's face, Lin Cheng suddenly reached out and pinched Xu Wanyue's snow-white face, "Don't watch so-called love tutorials. The more skills you master to be loved, the more you will lose the ability to love."

"Oh..." Xu Wanyue agreed, "Now I'm very curious about what kind of girl you like?"

"I like you."

"I don't believe it."

Xu Wanyue's cheek suddenly broke free from his fingers, and she opened her lips and gently bit his fingers.

"Why did you bite me?" Lin Cheng didn't pull out his fingers, and felt a slight pain and temperature at his fingertips.

"I like you, but that's not something you can joke about." Xu Wanyue looked at him seriously, her voice unclear, "It's too much to use this sentence to joke with a girl."

"Oh...but aren't we a couple now?"

"It seems so." Xu Wanyue opened her mouth and Lin Cheng gently grabbed her arm, "Then I will bite you too."

Xu Wanyue put her white and tender arms in front of him, without any fear, but turned her face away so that he could not see her eyes.

74 Two people

After getting off the boat, Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue went on the carousel together.

Two people can ride on the same wooden horse. Lin Cheng sits behind Xu Wanyue and can gently put his arms around her slender waist. The girl's waist is soft, and Lin Cheng only needs to get slightly closer to smell the sweet scent of her hair.

Xu Wanyue was holding a newly bought bubble machine in her hand, which was spraying out colorful bubbles that gradually rose into the air under the sunlight and then burst one by one.

When Lin Cheng was a child, he had never been to an amusement park. Even when he watched movies and TV shows occasionally, he couldn't understand what was so fun about the carousel. But if two people were together, it seemed really fun. The music in his ears was soothing, and he suddenly wished that time would go slower.

But at this moment, looking at those colorful bubbles, Lin Cheng's mind kept inexplicably popping up scenes from the past. In the past, he had hoped to come to the amusement park with Jiang Lingxue. He even made a lot of strategies and plans for it. He planned that he could ride the roller coaster, go boating, ride the carousel, play bumper cars, and even ride the Ferris wheel when the park was closed.

Although he never knew what was so interesting about the Ferris wheel, and it was clearly like the end of the world for people who were afraid of heights, he saw the legend of the Ferris wheel when he was reading various travel guides. It was said that if a couple kissed when it reached the highest point, they would be bound together forever...so he was inexplicably looking forward to the Ferris wheel.

Maybe he just wanted to know what it would feel like to kiss someone when there was a little bit of love in his heart? Lin Cheng remembered that he had kissed Jiang Lingxue many times, but each time it was just part of lust. Jiang Lingxue's body was too sensitive, and many times her body would become soft after just a short kiss.

He even booked dinner that day at a hotel with a western restaurant. Jiang Lingxue had seen the cherry foie gras on the video and had always pestered him to learn how to make it. He couldn't make it exactly the same, so he wanted to take Jiang Lingxue to eat it offline for real. Lin Cheng still remembered how full of expectations he was at that time, but his proposal was rejected by Jiang Lingxue nonchalantly.

Perhaps what Xu Wanyue said was right. At that time, he was a more proud man than he is now. He clearly had so many plans in his head and held so many fantasies. But after Jiang Lingxue coldly said that she was too lazy to go, he never mentioned it a second time.

Did he feel any regrets? Lin Cheng himself couldn't tell.

Maybe if you don't have so many expectations, you won't be disappointed.

"Can you ride the Ferris wheel with me later?" Lin Cheng raised his head and looked into Xu Wanyue's eyes. Xu Wanyue was playing with the bubble machine and having a lot of fun. After hearing his question, she naturally answered, "Of course."

"It's so kind of you."

"You're so cute." Xu Wanyue reached out and rubbed his hair, then took his hand and ran to a souvenir shop. She bought a wreath and put it on her head, then bought a pair of rabbit ears for Lin Cheng and happily put them on his head. Lin Cheng didn't care and was taken to the haunted house by her.

After arriving at the haunted house, Xu Wanyue almost huddled up beside him, with him holding her waist the whole time, her eyes only slightly open. Lin Cheng was actually a little scared, but he didn't say it. Fortunately, the haunted house was not that scary and the facilities were very old. If Xu Wanyue was trembling, how could he show fear?

At this moment, Lin Cheng seemed to suddenly understand what Xu Wanyue meant.

One person may be very scared, but two people can become very brave.

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

On the skyscraper road.

Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue sat side by side. As the Ferris wheel gradually rose higher, Lin Cheng's face actually turned a little paler. He really couldn't explain why he was afraid of heights. It would be very funny to tell others about it. The rumored omnipotent Siming would even turn pale when riding on the Ferris wheel.

Therefore, whenever he encountered abyss monsters with the ability to fly, Lin Cheng would directly set up a no-fly force field for them to prevent them from cheating.

"You're not scared, are you?" Xu Wanyue's cheek suddenly moved closer.

"No."

"Hahahahahaha."

Perhaps because Lin Cheng's tone was so weak, Xu Wanyue smiled happily. She hugged Lin Cheng into her arms and said in a tone like she was coaxing a child, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister will hold you."

As the Ferris wheel gradually rose higher, the scenery in the distance soon became clearly visible. Xu Wanyue stood up and walked to the transparent glass window, looking at the green mountains in the distance. Lin Cheng stood up at some point, walked behind her and hugged her gently.

Xu Wanyue turned around and suddenly asked him, "Do you want a kiss?"

"I always feel like if I ask whether I want to kiss or not, things will get weird..."

“It seems to be a little bit.”

So Xu Wanyue turned around and stopped asking questions. Instead, she gently put her arms around his shoulders and stood on tiptoe. Compared to the clumsy and awkward kiss in the morning, she had become much more skilled this time.

Lin Cheng heard his heart pounding, but the woman who said coldly "I'm too lazy to go" seemed to ring in his head again. The hand he held around Xu Wanyue's waist inexplicably tightened a little, and Xu Wanyue became a little flustered. It had been a while, and she was a little out of breath, but she didn't have the strength to push Lin Cheng away. She responded clumsily and awkwardly, but it seemed that her chin was stained with water.

When Lin Cheng finally left, her body had become limp and she could hardly stand. Her head rested on Lin Cheng's shoulder, weakly. Lin Cheng lifted her chin. Her cheeks were red at this moment, as if she was drunk.

"Huh?" Lin Cheng was puzzled.

"That's too much..." Xu Wanyue's voice seemed to reveal a bit of grievance. She punched Lin Cheng's chest twice with her little fist, "I can't even... stand steadily..."

"You are so weak."

"You bully your sister..." Xu Wanyue's voice was also faint. At the moment, she looked inexplicably cute with her aggrieved look. Lin Cheng took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped her lips. Xu Wanyue just leaned on him like this, and it took a while for her to recover her strength.

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

To make up for bullying his sister, Lin Cheng treated Xu Wanyue to a big dinner.

This is an expensive western restaurant. Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue sat by the window. Since she came in, Xu Wanyue's eyes were a little timid, as if she was shrinking. Lin Cheng looked at her eyes curiously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Wanyue blushed and whispered, "I've never eaten at a place like this before... The best steak I've ever eaten was the one you made yesterday."

After a moment, she added, "I only ate steak once at a self-service western restaurant. I took my sister there when I got paid for my summer job... I ate three pieces."

"Then you're awesome."

"Don't laugh at me." Xu Wanyue picked up the small fork and shook it in front of Lin Cheng fiercely, but after a moment she felt it was too embarrassing. She subconsciously straightened her waist. The waiter had already walked over. She looked at Lin Cheng and whispered, "Please help me order..."

"it is good."

Lin Cheng ordered something casually. He didn't know much about western food. It was the senior in the team who taught him how to drink and smoke who took him there to eat. At that time, he had a good relationship with him and they often ate and drank together. He didn't wear a mask. He was also timid at the beginning. After all, he had little money since he was a child. Western food was marketed as a manifestation of expensiveness and sophistication, as if as long as he sat here and gently shook the red wine glass, he would look very upper-class.

As a result, the uncle ordered ten steaks that day, and poured full glasses of red wine. He raised the glass and said "drink it up", but he broke the glass because of the force, wasting a glass of red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars. After that, Lin Cheng suddenly let it go. After all, they were just having a meal, so there was no distinction between high and low.

Soon the snack came. Xu Wanyue was a little clumsy with her knife and fork, so Lin Cheng cut his portion and handed it to Xu Wanyue, and took the portion in front of Xu Wanyue. Xu Wanyue buried her head in the food and muttered quietly, "It seems quite delicious."

"The quality of the meat is good, and the cooking method is actually very simple. It's okay to eat it occasionally, but if you eat it every day, you'll probably get tired of it."

"Makes sense."

Lin Cheng poured a little red wine into Xu Wanyue's glass. It seemed that compared to Lu Xiaoxiao, Xu Wanyue could drink quite well. After they finished their meal, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Lin Cheng and her went downstairs for a walk hand in hand.

"My salary will be paid in two days. How about I treat you to a meal then?" Xu Wanyue suddenly said.

"Okay." Lin Cheng nodded.

Passing by a lattice path, Xu Wanyue jumped on the lattice, her ponytail bouncing. The early summer evening breeze was cool, and the peach blossoms had all fallen.

After walking for a while, Xu Wanyue went to a milk tea shop and bought two ice creams for two yuan each. She handed one to Lin Cheng, and they sat on a bench by the roadside. Xu Wanyue licked the ice cream in small sips.

Why do I always feel that it tastes bitter when I see her licking the ice cream?

The traffic in front of him kept shuttling back and forth, and the neon lights in the distance were flickering. In the past, Lin Cheng always stood alone on the side of the road with a bouquet of roses, waiting for the passers-by to buy a rose from him. Now, sitting with Xu Wanyue, Lin Cheng suddenly wished that there was also a handsome boy selling roses on the roadside, so that he could buy a rose for her.

He still keeps the flowers Xu Wanyue gave him last time at home. Whenever Lin Cheng sees the flowers, he will think of her. At this moment, Lin Cheng cannot help but doubt again, is it possible that everything he saw was an illusion carefully woven by the sinister girl beside him, and he is actually the poor heartbroken puppy who was deceived?

The more Lin Cheng thought about it, the angrier he got, so he leaned over and took a big bite of Xu Wanyue's ice cream.

"There's my saliva on it." Xu Wanyue said softly, but there was nothing she could do to him.

"It's okay. You won't die if you eat a little."

"Yes, my saliva is actually very poisonous. If you eat even a little bit, you will die."

"I ate so much on the Ferris wheel... I'm dead." Lin Cheng's body fell onto Xu Wanyue's legs.

Xu Wanyue looked at him helplessly and poked his cheek with her fingers.
