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

Xu Wanyue shrank into Lin Cheng's arms. Her fingers kept poking at Lin Cheng's chest. She whispered, "You bastard."

"I made a mistake."

"It's no use apologizing. There will be no more of that in the future. You, you did it on purpose. You wanted to look at me... look at me..." Xu Wanyue became more and more embarrassed and angry. She punched Lin Cheng's chest with her little fist. There was even some mist in the corners of her eyes. "...eat it."

"I really didn't mean it. I was wrong..."

"Apology not accepted."

"Then...can I give you a kiss too?"

There was a sudden silence of five or six seconds in the room. Lin Cheng looked down at Xu Wanyue and found that the mist in her eyes had disappeared again. She seemed to have really thought seriously about the feasibility of this suggestion. She reached out and touched her blushing cheek. After feeling the burning sensation on her cheek, she stammered in response, "No, don't..."

"Oh." Lin Cheng nodded.

After a few seconds, Xu Wanyue suddenly said, "But, but you owe me a kiss. Next time I want you, you have to give me a kiss."

"Okay, okay." Lin Cheng held her in his arms and rubbed his cheek against her chest.

It's nap time!

115 Reason

When Lin Cheng woke up, Xu Wanyue was already awake. She was lying on the bed sending messages. Lin Cheng curiously leaned over and found that she was sending a message to herself, similar to a memo.

The moment he leaned forward, Xu Wanyue hung up her phone, but Lin Cheng still saw a few messages.

"He slept with Lu Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao liked him."

"He likes white silk."

"He owes me a kiss."

"What is this?" Lin Cheng was full of curiosity.

"Memo, mumbling." Xu Wanyue answered. Lin Cheng looked at her strangely. Xu Wanyue probably felt a little ashamed and turned her face away, but Lin Cheng soon discovered a more important problem.

"Wait, how do you know about Xiaoxiao and I..."

"Lizhi told me."

"This guy..." Lin Cheng looked at Xu Wanyue's cheek, "Let me explain to you..."

Xu Wanyue shook her head, "I don't want to listen."

"I can really explain it."

"I really don't want to listen." Xu Wanyue shook her head like a rattle.

“……”Lin Cheng lost again.

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

Dinner was the reheated dishes from lunch, and Xu Wanyue also made an extra dish of braised eggplant. Her cooking was really delicious.

"You cook better than me..."

"Free food is the best." Lin Cheng said vaguely while showing off his food. After dinner, Xu Wanyue, wearing a white dress, sat on the balcony, quietly watching the rain.

Lin Cheng came out after washing the dishes, his eyes fell on her on the balcony.

The light outside the window has dimmed. There is no sunset on a rainy day. Her skin is porcelain white and seems to be shining in the dim light. Her eyes have become very quiet, and her dark pupils are unfocused. For some reason, Lin Cheng always feels that her eyes are inexplicably lonely.

Lin Cheng moved a chair and sat down next to her, "The dishes are done."

"So good." Xu Wanyue stretched out her hand, and Lin Cheng obediently lowered his head and put it in front of her for her to rub.

"I have already got the blood of evolution. Give your sister half a bottle in half a month, and use another half after another half a month." Lin Cheng suddenly said.

Xu Wanyue was startled, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How... did you get it?"

"The Evolution Blood is actually a part of Siming's power. Siming's power can grow infinitely, so his blood will also have the characteristic of infinite growth. Before Siming retired, he sealed his own power. Before sealing it, he drew out fifteen Evolution Bloods, gave ten to the Alliance, and used up the rest."

Lin Cheng first explained to Xu Wanyue the origin of the Evolution Blood. After a moment, he continued, "After he sealed his own power, his blood also lost the effect of the Evolution Blood. But recently, his power has been partially unlocked. Although it is not like in the past, where every drop of blood has the effect of the Evolution Blood, it is still no problem to extract a few drops."

"You...know Siming?"

"I told you, I am Sima Ming." Lin Cheng replied gently.

Xu Wanyue turned her head and looked into his eyes seriously.

"You...didn't lie to me?" Xu Wanyue's voice was cautious, as if she was gradually beginning to accept this fact.

"I have never lied to you, idiot." Lin Cheng reached out and pinched her face. "I am Sima Ming. Report this news to the alliance, and your mission will be accomplished."

Xu Wanyue's body suddenly trembled slightly, "You... knew it from the beginning?"

"Come on, your disguise is really bad. Even if I haven't received any inside information, I can tell at a glance that you are an undercover agent sent by the Alliance, okay?"

Lin Cheng's tone was casual when he said this, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but Xu Wanyue was stunned. She just stared into Lin Cheng's eyes and asked again, "You... why...?"

"Originally, we were planning to let you join the fruit shop and give you some false information so that you could use your lucky ability for free. But then Litchi investigated you and found out that you chose to go undercover in order to wake up your sister, so no one cared that much anymore."

Xu Wanyue's eyes suddenly turned red, "You...already knew..."

"I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you this. It's not to tease you, nor to take advantage of you." Lin Cheng explained seriously.

"Why are you crying?"

Seeing the tears in Xu Wanyue's eyes, Lin Cheng suddenly became a little flustered. He reached out his hand to wipe the tears from Xu Wanyue's eyes, "Hey, don't cry..."

"You, why aren't you angry?" Xu Wanyue's voice trembled.

"There's nothing to be angry about. You didn't do anything bad in the fruit store." Lin Cheng said helplessly, "And I like you a little more than you like me, so I won't be angry."

Xu Wanyue stared blankly into Lin Cheng's eyes.

She always thought she disguised herself well enough, perhaps because Lin Cheng's eyes were always gentle when he looked at her. She always felt that she was good at observing people's words and expressions, so she could read the tenderness in Lin Cheng's eyes and it was real, but she was also frightened by this.

Everything Lin Cheng said to her was real, but she had been deceiving him all along.

Her purpose of joining the fruit shop was not pure from the beginning. She had been deceiving Lin Cheng from the very beginning, so... she felt uneasy about her love for Lin Cheng. She always said that Lin Cheng's love for her was not pure, but in fact... she knew very well that she was the one who was not pure.

It is precisely because of this that she felt uneasy every time Lin Cheng told her that he liked her.

But suddenly he told her that he actually knew all this a long time ago.

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

Xu Wanyue's tears seemed to be unable to stop, and they kept flowing. Lin Cheng hurriedly picked up a tissue and wiped her tears, "I really don't care whether you are an undercover or not... It's just that some time ago, I was really entangled in the question of whether I like you or not for a long time."

"During that time, I kept thinking, did you know all this on the day we went to Taohuawu to take pictures? If you knew all this but didn't care about my safety, I would be very sad. I was always afraid that everything I saw was fake, so I was uneasy. That's why you thought that the love I said was probably fake..."

"I, I don't know...what happened that day...I, I really, I really don't know..." Xu Wanyue's voice trembled.

She never received any news about the mission from her superiors that day.

Lin Cheng hurriedly approached and gently held her in his arms, "I know you don't know, of course I believe you, I don't mean to blame you, I just want to explain to you...why do you think every word I said about love before seems frivolous and playful? In fact, it's just that I always doubt myself, but now I am very sure of one thing, I must like you a little more than you like me."

Lin Cheng reached out and gently patted Xu Wanyue's back. Xu Wanyue's shoulders kept shaking. She just cried and wanted to speak but couldn't. After a while, Lin Cheng heard her speak intermittently, "I, I'll be more..."

"I'll have more."

"Just, just a little more for me..." Xu Wanyue's voice was choked with sobs. Lin Cheng smiled helplessly and hugged her gently, "Okay, okay, you have more."

After a while, Xu Wanyue in Lin Cheng's arms finally stopped crying. Lin Cheng wiped her cheek with a tissue and said softly, "Okay, now the only secret is revealed. You are now officially joining the fruit shop."

Lin Cheng looked into her eyes and said, "You can report to your superior that I am Sima Ming after a while, but not now."

"Well, then, after that, should I quit the alliance?"

"It's up to you. If you're too lazy to quit, just get a salary." Lin Cheng answered gently. Xu Wanyue nodded slightly and hummed.

"Would you like to go out for a drink?" Lin Cheng winked at Xu Wanyue, "I'll tell you the story of those years when Sima Ming saved the world."

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

Xu Wanyue put on a white dress. The fabric around her waist tightly bound her slender waist, and the hem of her dress was a little fluffy, which showed off her figure.

Lin Cheng stood behind her, watching her apply lipstick, and asked curiously, "Why are you still wearing makeup?"

"Because my eyes are swollen from crying."

"Then what's the point of wearing lipstick?"

"You have to put on makeup all over again."

"Will I die if I eat lipstick?"

"I'd rather poison you to death." Xu Wanyue snorted.

Lin Cheng started braiding her hair behind her. After she finished her makeup, Lin Cheng's hair was also braided. Xu Wanyue came to the shoe cabinet, hesitated for a moment, found a pair of not-so-high white high heels and put them on. The high heels made her well-proportioned and slender calf lines look even more beautiful.

Lin Cheng went out with her, and because they were going to drink, they chose to take a taxi. Lin Cheng and she sat in the passenger seat of the taxi. Lin Cheng opened the window to enjoy the breeze, and Xu Wanyue rested her head on his shoulder.

After a long while, Xu Wanyue suddenly tugged at Lin Cheng's sleeve.

Lin Cheng turned his head to look at her, but her lips suddenly fell on his lips.

Lin Cheng was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses. Looking at the smile on Xu Wanyue's face, she seemed unable to hide the little joy in her heart. Lin Cheng couldn't help but be curious, "What are you laughing at?"

"I don't know... I just feel so happy all of a sudden, and a lot more relaxed."

"easy?"

"Well... I'm not good at lying. Finally, I don't have to lie anymore."

"Do you like me?"

"A little more than you."

"What if... I only have a little?" Lin Cheng looked into her eyes.

"Then I have two points."

"How childish." Lin Cheng leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "So what is our relationship now?"

"Good friends." Xu Wanyue snorted.

"Why are we just good friends after just kissing?"

"Well, I can also kiss Xiaoxiao on the face. Xiaoxiao and I are just good friends." Xu Wanyue answered confidently, and her eyes looked at the wind outside Lin Cheng's window. "If I like you very much, you will definitely not like me."

Lin Cheng was about to refute, but after hesitating for a while, he found that he could not speak.

He doesn't like lying either.

Although he wanted to refute Xu Wanyue's words, what if it was really like this? He seemed to be silent for too long. After a few seconds, he said in a joking and frivolous tone, "We will get married in two years. Can marriage prove that we love each other?"

Xu Wanyue hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Even if you are Sima Ming, a hero who saves the world, if you don't only like me, I don't want to marry you."

Lin Cheng turned his head and said, "You are so cute."

He moved a little closer, and Xu Wanyue pursed her lips slightly, "You'll die if you eat the lipstick."

"Hehe, I've been wanting Zisha for a long time."

Just as Lin Cheng was about to get closer, Xu Wanyue stretched out her hand to block his chest, leaned close to his ear, and whispered softly, "The driver uncle is here. You can kiss when there is no one around."

Lin Cheng thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

116 You understand

In a dark corner of the bar.

There was a small candle on the table, the flame flickering. The lighting in the bar was always dim.

"So...your remaining friends at that time..."

Xu Wanyue thought that she would hear the story of the dragon-slaying boy from Lin Cheng. The boy went through many hardships and dangers, grew up, and finally killed the dragon. The story seemed to be true, but at the end of the story, the boy was almost alone.

"Almost all of them are dead." Lin Cheng held the cup and took a sip, but there was not much sadness on his face. That little bit of sadness was hidden in his eyes. He did not smile, because smiling would be disrespectful to those old friends in the story.

Xu Wanyue was silent for a long time, and she whispered, "This is different from what I imagined..."

"What do you think the story should be?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

"I thought..." Xu Wanyue took a sip from the wine glass and said, "I, the information I saw was that Siming joined the alliance, and he completed every mission almost perfectly, fighting against natural disasters time and time again. Gradually, S-level, SS-level, and even SSS-level were no longer his opponents. In the end, he was as strong as the God of Creation. He went to the abyss alone and closed the cracks in the abyss..."

The heroic story is nice to hear, but it seems that only his name remains in the story. Lin Cheng said softly, "In the beginning, it was the seniors who took care of me. Because of my strong potential, they were intentionally protecting me. The story of Siming can reach such an end. They are more important than me, but they can't see them now."
