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

"Bye." Lin Cheng chuckled at her, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, nodded, and skipped back to the villa.

When she was almost at the end of her sight, she turned around and saw Lin Cheng still looking at her. She raised her hand and waved at Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng also waved back at her, rode his bike, and went home.

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

Lin Cheng opened the door.

How many days has he been away from home? He himself couldn't remember clearly. He had been in a daze for the past few days. In fact, he didn't like going out that much. Most of the time, he wanted to stay at home and play games. Lin Cheng returned to the bed, tossed and turned for a few times, then sat up, went to the computer, opened the game, and played until the early morning. Finally, he felt a little sleepy and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

It was already afternoon when I woke up.

Lin Cheng got up and washed. When he went downstairs, the pancake stall was closed. He went to the flower shop to pick up the bouquet of roses he had ordered. The actual white and blue gradient was just dyed with dye so that he could sell it for a higher price.

He tied the rose on the back seat, rode his bike to the apartment building where Xu Wanyue lived, came to the door, took a deep breath, and knocked.

no respond.

He was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and knocked again, but there was still no response. Maybe she was asleep too. Lin Cheng thought about it, took out his cell phone, but hesitated when he wanted to send her a message.

What if she was angry? Or didn't want to talk to him? After all, they didn't talk to each other yesterday, and he didn't see any new photos in Xu Wanyue's circle of friends.

Lin Cheng typed and deleted the message, standing at the door, suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed. He scratched his head and simply sat on the steps beside the door. He knocked on the door every half an hour, but still no response.

From two to six in the afternoon, he knocked on the door eight times in total, but there was no response from beginning to end, and Xu Wanyue's circle of friends did not update anything. The elevator at the side of the corridor rang and stopped again and again, but every time Lin Cheng looked at it expectantly, it was not Xu Wanyue.

It was not until six-thirty that the elevator door opened and Xu Wanyue, wearing a white top and a denim skirt, walked out of the elevator. She was also carrying a cute little dinosaur backpack. She walked to the door and opened it. Lin Cheng slowly walked out of the corridor and looked at her quietly.

Xu Wanyue was startled when she heard the footsteps. She turned her head and was stunned for a moment, "Hey, why are you here?"

"Where have you been?" Lin Cheng handed her the flowers in his arms.

Xu Wanyue subconsciously took the flower into her arms, but was stunned for a moment after taking the flower. After several seconds, she replied belatedly, "Xiaoxiao told me that there is an interesting DIY perfume shop, so I went to have a look, and I even made several perfumes."

Xu Wanyue said as she took out the perfume she made today, a small piece of bread, and a piece of chocolate from her little dinosaur bag. She looked at Lin Cheng strangely, "When did you come?"

"One o'clock in the afternoon." Lin Cheng scratched his head.

"Why didn't you message me then?"

"I thought you might be busy... or don't want to pay attention to me or something..." Lin Cheng was a little incoherent.

"How come?" Xu Wanyue walked up to him and handed the meat floss bread and chocolate from her bag to Lin Cheng, "You really look like Jiang Lingxue."

"How does it look like?"

"You can just send me a message and I'll go home. Or you can come and play with me, right?" Xu Wanyue looked at him innocently. Lin Cheng took the bread from her hand and said, "That's right."

He tore open the bread and took a big bite. He hadn't eaten for a day. Xu Wanyue opened the door and quickly took out ice water from the refrigerator and handed it to him, "Be careful not to choke."

Lin Cheng took the water, and Xu Wanyue walked to the empty vase in the room, took out the rose and placed it in the big vase. Lin Cheng had never seen this vase before. While chewing the bread, he asked vaguely, "When did you buy it?"

"I bought it last time when you said you would buy me flowers next time we meet. It just arrived last night and it only cost me thirty-six dollars. Isn't it a good deal and beautiful?"

"Indeed." Lin Cheng nodded, tore open the chocolate wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. Xu Wanyue suddenly took a step forward and raised her calf towards him with a gentle smile on her face, "Ding ding ding, aren't these little white shoes beautiful too?"

"Well, it suits you very well."

"I just bought it, too, and it's very comfortable to wear." Xu Wanyue's tone was a little proud. She lowered her head and took out a few small bottles of perfume, carefully looking at the labels on them, "Here you go."

"Ok?"

"This is the second best-smelling perfume I made, made for you!" Xu Wanyue stuffed the 10ml test tube into his hand. Lin Cheng took it and looked up, "What about the first best-smelling one?"

"There was only a little bit of material for the first good smell, so I only made one. Here it is."

"Did you spray it? Why can't I smell it?"

"Because the scent is so faint, you have to get close to smell it."

Xu Wanyue took a step forward and reached out her hand to gently touch her fair and slender neck. Lin Cheng slowly approached her snow-white neck and smelled a light floral scent. "It seems to have a little bit of rose, gardenia, musk... and a little magnolia?"

"Hey, you're awesome."

"Hehe, who am I?"

Perhaps because of Lin Cheng's breath on her neck, Xu Wanyue took another step back, "Smells good, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Lin Cheng finished the bread and chocolate and took a big sip of water. Xu Wanyue turned on the TV in the living room and sat on the sofa. Lin Cheng quickly came to sit next to her. The two of them were not too far away from each other. Xu Wanyue began to take off her shoes. Today she was wearing white socks. Her fair feet stepped into white slippers. Then she leaned lazily on the sofa, "I'm so tired."

"Where else have you been?"

"I went to the library and the snack street early. Let me tell you, a cool girl asked for my WeChat today."

Lin Cheng's eyes were full of vigilance. "Did you give it to him?"

"I gave it to you. Why wouldn't a girl give it to me if she wants it?"

"Be careful of lesbians!" Lin Cheng moved closer to her, "Show me her circle of friends so I can research what kind of person she is."

Xu Wanyue laughed so happily. Lin Cheng didn't understand why she laughed. He looked up at her. Xu Wanyue's fingertips lightly touched his forehead. "I was just kidding. I didn't give it to you. The way she looked at me... I didn't like it."

"How could you lie to me?" Lin Cheng looked gloomy.

"Hehe, what about you lying to me?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"Are you really making cream cakes with Xiaoxiao? Xiaoxiao's voice sounds wrong."

"Turning her into a cream cake." Lin Cheng did not lie and answered very frankly. Xu Wanyue silently moved her position a little further away from Lin Cheng, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Hey, I'm honest. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"All the men who make girls take medicine are scumbags."

"That's true." Lin Cheng nodded, "But even if she doesn't take the medicine, she won't get pregnant."

"why?"

"Because I am no longer human."

"Hey, are you a puppy?"

"Why are you scolding me?"

"Because you have a good nose, and so does the puppy."

"You're so childish."

"You're naive."

Xu Wanyue laughed so happily. Although Lin Cheng didn't know why she laughed, he laughed along with her. He winked at Xu Wanyue and said, "I want to lie down for a while."

"Just lie down."

As soon as Lin Cheng fell down, Xu Wanyue grabbed her shoulders. She bit her lips lightly, and her fair cheeks turned slightly red. "I didn't say you could lie on my lap."

132 You Hurt Me Again

"why not?"

"Because... you are in love with Xiaoxiao, right? You are not allowed to have physical contact with other girls after you fall in love." Xu Wanyue answered seriously.

"No." Lin Cheng widened his eyes innocently, "I'm not in love with her."

"Then why did she post your photo last night?"

"I went on a yacht with her on the lake and took a photo of it."

"But when a girl posts a photo with a boy on WeChat Moments, it means she's officially in love."

"I don't admit it."

"Hmm... is that so?" Xu Wanyue raised her eyes and thought seriously for a while, "Then what is your relationship with Xiaoxiao now?"

“It’s a very pure relationship.”

"What do you mean by pure? Just make butter cakes?"

"I can't explain it clearly." Lin Cheng lowered his head in frustration. "How about you help me analyze it?"

"Analyze what?"

"Analyze why Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly said she loves me. Haven't you watched a hundred love strategy videos? Are you already a love guru?"

"Okay, you talk and I listen."

"I'm too tired. I want to lie down and talk."

"Then lie down over there."

"No, do you still want to hear gossip?"

Xu Wanyue hesitated for a long time, but finally stood up, adjusted the hem of her denim skirt, and then patted her snow-white thighs, allowing Lin Cheng to lie down.

The plan goes through!

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

Lin Cheng told Xu Wanyue everything that had happened since the first day he arrived at Lu Xiaoxiao's house.

He didn't say it before because he thought Lu Xiaoxiao would feel ashamed to tell Xu Wanyue about this kind of thing, as it was her personal privacy. But her answer the last time Xu Wanyue called her was obvious. This guy doesn't care about this kind of thing at all now, so Lin Cheng told Xu Wanyue everything he could recall, in detail.

"Well, the focus should be on the four days she was locked in the bamboo forest." After listening to this, Xu Wanyue thought carefully for two minutes and came to this conclusion.

"I feel so too."

"I think it's because I was alone in the bamboo forest for too long. It's scary to think about it. I can only stay in a small, enclosed space by myself. I can't do anything but talk to myself. It's scarier than being in prison."

"Yeah, then logically she should hate me."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Wanyue looked serious for a while, "I figured it out."

"Ok?"

"Because you're not angry with her." Xu Wanyue's eyes were bright. "Xiaoxiao is actually a gentle and reasonable girl. I've known her for more than a year and I've never seen her lose her temper. She lost her temper with you, but after thinking it through, she felt that she was unreasonable, but you didn't get angry with her... Maybe this is the feeling of being favored? If there is someone who can unconditionally tolerate me when I am unreasonable, I will feel very happy."

It seems that Lin Cheng and Xu Wanyue have similar analysis. "Then when do you think Xiaoxiao will calm down?"

"It's hard to explain. I like this kind of thing... Who knows when I can calm down?" Xu Wanyue lowered her head and looked at Lin Cheng's face. Her fingertips touched Lin Cheng's lips. Lin Cheng's lips were slightly open, and Xu Wanyue's fingers gently pinched his tongue.

Lin Cheng hesitated, eyes wide, not knowing what she was going to do, but Xu Wanyue just played with his tongue for a while, "Your tongue is so long."

She withdrew her fingertips and bent down to pick up the tissue on the table. As she bent down, her chest almost touched Lin Cheng's cheek.

Sometimes Lin Cheng couldn't tell whether this guy was stupid or doing it on purpose.

"So why are you suddenly playing with my tongue?"

"Well, I remember that puppies have very long tongues. Didn't you say you're not a human anymore? So I wanted to see if you have the characteristics of a puppy."

"What I mean is that my energy has caused my body to undergo fundamental changes. The awakened ability can only affect myself, so it cannot be passed on through reproduction."

"It's so complicated, so what exactly is destiny?"

"Fate is fate."

"It's so difficult to understand."

"Hehe, you can understand that if my ability reaches its limit, I will become an omniscient and omnipotent god."

"Yeah, that does sound cool."

"No, becoming a god is not my goal. Becoming a god is very scary."

"horrible?"

"Think about it, if one day you can go back to the past and the future at will, and destroy and create the world at will, then the essence of being a human being will disappear, and everything in this world will be like a game in creative mode to you, so you will no longer feel any fun. Gods don't have human emotions, so isn't it scary to think about it?"

"It seems so." Xu Wanyue nodded.

“That’s why I don’t want to become a god.”

Lin Cheng quickly changed the subject, "So why were there no photos in the Moments yesterday?"

"Because they were all distributed, I bought so many stockings."

"Lie!" Lin Cheng could tell at a glance that Xu Wanyue was lying because there was a hint of guilt in Xu Wanyue's eyes.

Xu Wanyue reached out and pinched Lin Cheng's earlobe, "Okay, because I was angry yesterday."

"Angry?" Lin Cheng was stunned.
