Feng Ling didn’t even wait for Boss Li to speak but turned around and walked upstairs quickly.
Li Nanheng looked at the guy who didn’t take him seriously at all. He looked at her back and his eyes became unprecedentedly unfathomable.
In just two minutes, Qiao Fei felt as if it had been as long as a century. Hearing Feng Ling walked away, he immediately laughed. “Boss, you know my temper. I’m nice to anyone at the base. Feng Ling is one of my team members. I watch them training every day and have become intimate with them. But Boss, you are never close to anyone in the base. Why do you suddenly treat Feng Ling so specially…”
Li Nanheng put his hand into his trousers pocket and asked coldly, “Why did you say I treat him specially?”
“Although Feng Ling is fair-skinned and small like a girl, he is a man. Boss, please don’t take him as a woman. There are no women in the base. I can understand how lonely you are, but Feng Ling is obviously straight. Even if you are interested in him, he may not accept your love. ”
Li Nanheng moved his lips and said briefly, “You think too much.”
“That’s good. After all, you are the only heir of the Li family. The seniors of your family are all waiting for you to marry and give birth to a child. If you are actually gay…” Qiao Fei didn’t finish his words but paused and gave him a meaningful smile.
Li Nanheng didn’t look at him again but turned upstairs with a jerk and strode upstairs.
Boss Li and the members of the sniper team lived in this building, but Qiao Fei didn’t live here, so he had no reason to go upstairs. He thought of how Feng Ling went upstairs without looking back and her deadpan face in front of Boss Li.
Boss seemed to have no idea that she was a woman.
But who was Li Nanheng?
He was a cold-eyed bystander who seemed to be standing outside the earthly world. Although Li Nanheng actually didn’t spend much time with Feng Ling, with his keenness, it was impossible that he didn’t find or doubt anything.
After thinking about it, Qiao Fei picked up his phone and turned to walk out.
Feng Ling had returned to her room where the windows and doors could not be locked froom inside and there was only a lock in the bathroom, so she entered the bathroom, took off her clothes, and exposed herself to the air. After looking at herself in the floor mirror and untying the restraint on her chest, she was about to turn around to heat the bathwater. Suddenly she heard the cell phone she put on the side ringing.
She picked up the phone and saw the text message from Qiao Fei: [Lingling, does Boss Li know your secret? ]
Feng Ling looked at the weird name he used to call her and felt a bit uncomfortable. Looking at the mobile phone screen with a straight face for a while, she replied. [He doesn’t know.]
Qiao Fei: [That’s good. As a girl who lives with a group of men, you should remember to protect yourself. Especially, you live next door to Boss Li. If you really feel inconvenient, you can apply to move out. There are a few empty rooms in the building I live in. I can find an empty room for you. ]
Feng Ling: [No, Boss doesn’t usually enter my room. ]
Except when he was drunk…
Qiao Fei: [Are you sure it is safe to live next door to Boss Li? ]
For some reason, he always had a feeling that Boss Li would eat Feng Ling anytime and anywhere?
Feng Ling: [It’s safe. My personal privacy hasn’t been threatened or violated. Thank you for your concern, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao. I’m going to take a shower. See you at the training ground tomorrow. ]
With that, Feng Ling put the phone aside and turned to take a shower.
Receiving such a reply, Qiao Fei had to stop the chat. He wanted to say ‘Good night’ to her, only to see Feng Ling replied “Thank you for your concern, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao” and didn’t even call his name. She was so alienating, which showed that although Feng Ling was young, she knew how to protect herself. She kept a safe distance from others and would not easily cross the line.
The sound of the bath next door continued. Standing on the balcony of his room, Li Nanheng could hear the sounds coming from the bathroom next door. He stood against the light and put his left hand into his trouser pocket. Covered with his uniform that he took off just now, he turned to look at the lights on the balcony next door and a gleam flickered across his deep, dark eyes.
After taking a shower, Feng Ling put on her clothes in the bathroom, opened the locked bathroom door, and walked back to the bed, rubbing her damp hair.
The pile of gifts from Mayor Ted and his family on her bed had not been packed yet. She put down her hands that were rubbing her hair and was about to go over to put them away. Suddenly she heard her phone ring again.
She thought the text message was from Qiao Fei, so she wasn’t in a hurry to check it. It had been more than ten minutes after she put away the gifts one by one and then she took the phone.
She turned on the phone, only to find the message was from Boss Li. He just sent her two cold words: [Come over.]
Feng Ling raised her eyes, turned her head to look out and saw the lights on the balcony next door. After thinking about it, she put down her phone and turned to go out. She went to the room next door and knocked on the door. Several seconds later, the door was opened and the man showed up. He glanced at her from head to toe with his sharp eyes and asked coldly, “Why did it take you so long?”
“I was putting away the gifts Mr. Ted and his family gave me and didn’t have time to check my phone.”
“Are you interested in those gifts?” Li Nanheng said and turned to walk in. Feng Ling looked at the man’s back and followed him in.
She didn’t answer his question but only said, “Boss, why did you call me here?”
The window on Li Nanheng’s balcony was open and a thin and light laptop was placed on the solid wood table on the balcony. The man pointed at the computer. “I want to show you something.”
Feng Ling walked over when she heard this. When she came to the table, the man suddenly out his strong hands on her shoulders and let her sit down at the table. When Feng Ling raised her head and looked at him in surprise, he just pointed his chin to the computer. “Open it. The password is 9632.”
Feng Ling did as he said. After turning on the computer, she saw that the desktop of the computer was clean and tidy. From the names of the folders on the desktop, it could be seen that what was in the folders should be some files of the base and the secret English letters between the base and the military.
