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

"What do you want to see in my eyes?" Lu Lingling asked softly.

...Lin Cheng suddenly felt that it was more interesting to talk to little fools like Xu Wanyue or Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Nothing, get up quickly..."

"No."

Lin Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulder to push her away. Lu Lingling fell down so easily again. What a drama queen! Lin Cheng finally caught her hand before her head fell under the sofa and picked her up again. This time her nightgown seemed to be about to fall off. Fortunately, Lin Cheng was quick to put her nightgown back on, as if he was playing with a doll.

Lu Lingling sat cross-legged on the sofa, her skirt a little messy. Lin Cheng felt something was wrong. He suddenly remembered that Lu Lingling didn't wear anything after taking a shower last time. His eyes were subconsciously drawn to her. Lu Lingling's fingertips were gently pinching the hem of her skirt. She tilted her head, "Hmm? You're wearing it today."

"..." Lin Cheng hastily retracted his gaze and took a pillow to hold in his arms, so that he felt safer. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly said, "I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"That day, Xu Wanyue and I went to Taohuawu to take pictures. Did Xu Wanyue know that the Alliance would bring shamans to bring down the natural disaster monsters?"

The moment he saw the predator that day, he knew it was summoned by a person with special abilities from the alliance. This was one of the abilities of [Destiny].

"Do you want her to know, or do you want her not to know?" Lu Lingling asked with a smile.

"I want the answer. Don't beat around the bush. Tell me now."

"Why are you so anxious?" Lu Lingling turned to look at him, her voice sounding a little sour, "Are you in love with her?"

78 Don't know

Lu Lingling thought he would answer categorically that it was not the case, but after asking that question, Lin Cheng seemed to be stunned. He thought seriously for several seconds, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"How can there be someone who doesn't know the answer to this?"

"I can't explain it clearly." Lin Cheng scratched his head, seeming to be troubled. "But she is quite cute."

"So you want to know whether she knew about what happened that day?"

"Ah."

"Don't you want to explore it yourself?" Lu Lingling adjusted the straps on her shoulders and turned to look at him playfully. Lin Cheng was silent for a while, "Yeah, that's right."

Perhaps it would be better to find the answer yourself.

Always fantasizing, always suspicious, always uneasy, so worried about gains and losses.

"Oh, one more question, is her mission still going on?"

"We'll continue to observe for now." Lu Lingling stood up, went to get two cups of hot water, and handed the paper cups to Lin Cheng. "After all, how could he be willing to give up like this?"

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

When Lu Xiaoxiao came back from outside, Lu Lingling and Lin Cheng were sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking quite harmonious.

But Lu Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt awkward.

Lin Cheng looked up at her, "Are you done?"

"Barely."

"I'll give you Lizhi's contact information later. I'll trouble you then." Lin Cheng stood up and walked towards the door. Lu Xiaoxiao was behind him, asking softly, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, now that we're done, it's time to go home."

Lu Xiaoxiao watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance, wanting to say something but unable to. She suddenly realized that she really couldn't figure out what her relationship with him was now. Lin Cheng had already walked under the eaves outside the courtyard, and it was raining heavily outside.

Lu Xiaoxiao chased after him and looked at the heavy rain in front of her. "It's raining so hard...how are you going to get back?"

"Then will you send me off?" Lin Cheng asked softly.

"Call my sister."

"Sister is so kind."

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

Lu Xiaoxiao’s driving skills are very steady.

Lin Cheng sat in the passenger seat, watching the raindrops on the windshield being wiped off by the wipers. Before going out, Lu Xiaoxiao changed her clothes into a gentle pink and blue floral dress with a fitted hem that highlighted her slender waist. After arriving at the destination, Lin Cheng got out of the car and waved at her.

Lu Xiaoxiao rolled down the car window and stared at him without blinking.

One second, two seconds, so the goodbye that Lin Cheng had originally intended to say seemed very inappropriate. He hesitated for another second and asked, "Do you want to go up... and have a cup of tea or something?"

"Your eyes are so insincere."

"Because there is no tea...how about soy milk?" Lin Cheng answered somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but unbuckled her seat belt and changed her slippers into slender jade-colored high heels. Lin Cheng opened an umbrella and escorted her and him back to the home he hadn't returned to for several days.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw the roses on the table and her eyes shifted to his profile. Lin Cheng explained very naturally, "I was going to sell the roses that were not sold last time, so I kept them for next time."

"So why did you go out and sell flowers?"

"Because I want to find some fun in my boring life." Lin Cheng came to the sofa and lay down. His sofa was so big that there was more than enough space for Lu Xiaoxiao to lie down on it. But Lu Xiaoxiao did not lie down. Instead, she began to observe the house.

This was her second time coming here. The last time was late at night. She only remembered the dim light in the room and the temperature of each other's skin. She went to the refrigerator first and found two cans of pineapple beer in the refrigerator. She took one out and threw it to Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng sat up, opened it and took a big sip. Lu Xiaoxiao was still wandering around his house.

Lin Cheng had nothing to worry about, as there was nothing strange in his house. He even gave away Jiang Lingxue's jewelry and shoes to Xu Wanyue. But after a while, Lu Xiaoxiao walked out from the balcony. The smile on her face was gentle and peaceful before, but at this moment it suddenly became unspeakably cold, and her eyes were so ferocious that it seemed as if she wanted to cut off Lin Cheng's flesh.

"Why do you suddenly have such a cold face?" Lin Cheng was puzzled.

"What are you drying on your balcony?" Lu Xiaoxiao's voice also became very cold.

Lin Cheng was stunned to realize what could be drying on his balcony, so he looked over and saw the black lace underwear of a girl drying outside the balcony. This was after he opened the energy node for Xu Wanyue that day. She accidentally got it wet and changed for new ones. She hung the washed ones here and it seemed that she had never taken them back.

Lin Cheng's head hurt for a moment, and he rubbed his brows, "Actually, I'm a pervert. I enjoy wearing women's underwear."

"...Xu Wanyue and I bought the same piece of underwear, but in different colors." Lu Xiaoxiao blurted out these words.

"Do you believe me if I tell you that she wet the bed while I was taking a nap?"

"Do you think I should believe it?" Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath.

"Wait, I still have the final say...please listen to my explanation."

"I'm listening." Lu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and walked in front of Lin Cheng. She lowered her head slightly and looked down at him. Lin Cheng took ten seconds to organize his words and continued, "Based on the energy node distribution rules of the abyss monsters and the energy nodes in the human body, I found a way to open the fiftieth energy node through continuous exploration and improvement. But after all the energy nodes are opened, the human body will secrete hormones that make people feel happy in an instant, so Xu Wanyue couldn't help it that day, and...she got it dirty, and it happened to be left here with me."

"You only took ten seconds to come up with this excuse?"

Lin Cheng actually didn't understand why he had to explain, because it seemed that there was no reason to explain to Lu Xiaoxiao at all. Even if he really did something, so what? But seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's slightly cold eyes, he always felt that if he didn't explain it well, perhaps the coldness in those eyes would soon disappear, revealing a sad background.

"It's true." Lin Cheng answered confidently.

"Oh." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, but her expression didn't show any belief at all. Lin Cheng looked into her eyes and said, "Come over here."

"doing what?"

"Proof for you."

Lu Xiaoxiao came to his side, and Lin Cheng gently grabbed her arm. Because the method used by Lu Xiaoxiao to open the energy nodes was different from that used by Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng needed to stimulate every energy node in her body first, starting with her arms. But this time he didn't need to touch her directly. He only needed to touch her with weak energy.

Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, biting her lips lightly, her body gradually softened. She could clearly feel the changes in her body. A strange tingling sensation began to spread from her arms. It was not accurate to say it was itchy. She couldn't explain it clearly. She subconsciously closed her legs under her skirt, and her toes in her high heels couldn't help but curl up, and her waist tensed.

The process was actually very quick, taking no more than three minutes in total, and they soon arrived at the last energy node that had not yet been activated. Lin Cheng looked at her seriously, "You...be patient."

"I do not believe."

"Oh..." Lin Cheng used the last bit of weak energy to open the energy node.

The next moment, Lu Xiaoxiao's whole body tensed up and she almost fell down into Lin Cheng's arms. Her shoulders began to tremble constantly like a frightened deer. Lin Cheng could feel her cheeks flushed at the moment, but this was not the most terrifying thing... At this moment, she bit her lips tightly, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and her slender calves seemed to be cramping. Lin Cheng bent down to take off her high heels for her, gently pinched her calves, and straightened each of her toes, but Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned close and bit his shoulder.

It wasn't very severe. After a few dozen seconds, Lu Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head. Her dark eyes were full of misty colors. Lin Cheng looked at her innocently, "Do you believe it now?"

"you……"

Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless, her voice became very soft, and after a few seconds, Lin Cheng whispered, "Why don't you go... take a shower?"

After all, her skin was now glowing a light rose-red, and beads of sweat were dripping slowly from her forehead. She slowly stood up, but her legs were a little weak. Seeing this, Lin Cheng helped her to the bathroom. After a while, she walked into the bathroom and hurriedly closed the bathroom door tightly.

Lin Cheng looked back at his sofa.

...Luckily the sofa in his house is made of leather, so just wipe it and it will be fine.

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

When Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom, she was still wearing the pink and blue floral dress, but Lin Cheng kept thinking about what to do with the hem of her skirt. He couldn't keep it on, right? It would be very uncomfortable. So his eyes subconsciously moved to the snow-white thighs under Lu Xiaoxiao's skirt. Lu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth slightly and walked to the balcony... to take down Xu Wanyue's underwear that had been hanging there before.

She didn't say anything, but hurried back into the bathtub. When she came out, she had already walked to the balcony with the washed underwear. She returned to Lin Cheng and looked at the puddle of water on the sofa.

Lin Cheng looked at her innocently.

Lu Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed red, as if mist was about to rise.

She pulled out the wet tissue on the table, her eyes full of shame. Seeing this, Lin Cheng got up and went back to the room, hugging the quilt, giving Lu Xiaoxiao time to calm down and relieve the shame. After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Wanyue walked in from outside the room, but the moment she saw Lin Cheng's eyes, her eyes began to dodge subconsciously again.

"I... believe it." Lu Xiaoxiao turned her face away and said.

"Oh...Okay, you wanna play some games? I'm going to take a nap."

Lin Cheng pointed at his computer, but Lu Xiaoxiao was already sitting beside his bed, "I want to sleep for a while, too."

Lin Cheng thought about it, put his cat pillow in the middle, thought about it again, and suddenly said coldly, "You definitely don't want me to do anything bad to you, right?"

What kind of stupid question is this?!

"Of course not!" Lu Xiaoxiao lay on the other side of the bed, turned sideways with her back to Lin Cheng, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in her voice.

Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

...If you provoke her now, she will refuse to provoke you even if you really want to do something to her later.

...You cannot cheat during a relationship and must observe male ethics.

79 Boxing

Lu Xiaoxiao turned her back to Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng also turned his head to look out the window.

It was still gloomy outside the window. This kind of weather was very suitable for sleeping. He knew that what he said just now seemed to have made Lu Xiaoxiao angry, but if he didn't say something, he would not be able to help but want to trick Lu Xiaoxiao into doing something.

Maybe it was because she had just leaned in his arms, gently biting his shoulder, and her soft breathing was really hard to breathe.

The light in the room was dim and the sound of raindrops was gradually weakening. Lin Cheng closed his eyes for a long time but could not fall asleep. However, he turned around inadvertently and suddenly realized that Lu Xiaoxiao, who had her back to him, had turned around and was looking at him quietly.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes began to dodge.

"The method you just mastered..."

"Sorry, this can't be handed over to the alliance." Lin Cheng smiled helplessly at her.

...This method must be centered on his energy in order to open the fiftieth energy node. No one can do it except him. The difference between forty-nine and fifty is not just a number. Lu Xiaoxiao is now probably 0.3 times stronger than before.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She tried hard to stare at Lin Cheng's face in front of her, as if she wanted to read something from this face, but it seemed as if covered by a veil, and she couldn't see clearly no matter how hard she tried.

"Were you trying to provoke me on purpose just now?" Lu Xiaoxiao said suddenly.

Lin Cheng was stunned.

"After thinking for three minutes, I decided that you don't seem like the type of person who would make the mistake of saying something like that."

"Why doesn't it look like it?"

"You always give me the feeling that you are very delicate and sensitive, so you must have said this intentionally. But you... seem a little too proud. I won't pounce on you."

Lin Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, I'm just afraid of myself."

"Afraid of yourself?"

"Yes." Lin Cheng's eyes became more helpless, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and want to do something to you..."

"Do you think I will agree if you want me to?" Lu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.

"..." Lin Cheng was speechless, and didn't say anything else. After a while, Lu Xiaoxiao whispered again, "You are so weird."

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. It happened for a reason."

"Oh?"
