K was surprised. They were all brothers and often went through arduous training together in the mud of the training ground. What was the big deal of their hugging each other? Wasn’t it normal for men to put an arm around each other’s shoulders?
Why would this damage the image of the sniper team?
Boss Li didn’t like them to be like this and often stopped them from acting like this, which they were already used to. When Boss Li was here, they would behave themselves, but now even Deputy Drillmaster Qiao was so strict to them…
Qiao Fei didn’t look at him again but looked at Feng Ling. “Feng Ling, come with me.”
Feng Ling put down the sniper rifle that she had just picked up and followed him out.
After going out of the training ground, Qiao Fei looked around and when making sure no one was around, he turned his eyes to Feng Ling’s face.
“I remember K said that your birthday is in winter, about November, right? What’s the date?” Qiao Fei asked.
“I don’t know exactly when I was born. I remember I’ve said more than once that I am an orphan and don’t know what happened when I was a baby. The so-called birthday was set by someone for me,” Feng Ling explained briefly.
“Set in November?”
“En.”
Qiao Fei nodded with a smile. “OK, it’s mid-November now. It’s Saturday tomorrow. The training will finish earlier tomorrow afternoon. May I treat you a meal to celebrate your birthday?”
“Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, I’m not sure which day my birthday is. I don’t think it’s necessary to celebrate since that is not my real birthday. And…”
“Why not? These years, many members who have friends in our base will invite other members to go out to have fun for two days to celebrate their birthday. You’ve been in the base for several years and haven’t celebrated your birthday. In the past, I thought you were a man. Now only I know you are a girl and girls are usually sensitive and fragile. If we continue to ignore your birthday, I’m afraid you’ll become more and more depressed, so I’d like to treat you a good meal tomorrow to give you a good day and celebrate your birthday.”
Qiao Fei said and took a small velvet box out of his pocket. “I went out last week and bought you a birthday gift by the way. It’s a pair of white diamond earrings. I didn’t pay much attention to your ears before. Now I found that you didn’t even have an ear-piercing. Even K and some other members had pierced one of their ears. But you hadn’t even pierced your ears. Now I don’t know whether I should give you the earrings as a gift? I don’t know how you should wear them. If I don’t, I’ve already bought them. And you’re the only girl in the whole base.”
Feng Ling was amused by his tone and couldn’t help smiling. “Even if I have pierced my ears, I can’t wear them. You should keep them. If you meet a girl you like in the future, you can give them to her. They are useless to me.”
“The girl I like is right in front of me. I don’t think I will meet another girl that I like in the future,” Qiao Fei looked into her smiling eyes and said.
Feng Ling didn’t get what he meant. When she finally figured out what he meant, the young man had already raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.
She finally understood what he meant. For the first time in her life, a man was confessing his love to her. Feng Ling was stunned and, at this time, Qiao Fei suddenly took her hands and put the velvet box with the pair of white diamond earrings into her palm. “Take them. I’m not asking you to wear them now, but please accept them. When you want to turn back to a woman and pierce your ears, remember to wear them.”
Feng Ling shoved the box back into his hand. “I can’t take it.”
“Just take them.” Qiao Fei’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. “It’s just a birthday gift. Don’t be shy.”
“No, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, I have no reason to accept your gift and I have no plans to change back to a woman…”
Before she had finished speaking, a figure suddenly approached from the side. Qiao Fei caught a glimpse of the coming person and quickly clenched the velvet box that was pushed back in his palm.
Han Jin glanced at Qiao Fei’s calm face as he approached and then glanced at Feng Ling who seemed to be thinking of something with her head down, so he called her. “Feng Ling, what are you doing?”
“Drillmaster Han.” Feng Ling turned her head to look at the person coming and became deadpan again as if nothing had happened just now.
“What are you and Qiao Fei doing here? Boss Li asked you to bring the computer in his room to the base conference room. He was waiting for you there.” After Han Jin finished speaking, his phone rang. He looked curiously at what Qiao Fei was clenching in his hand but didn’t see it clearly. He turned around and went on the phone while walking away without asking anything.
Seeing that Han Jin was gone, Feng Ling took a step back and nodded politely to Qiao Fei who was about to hand the velvet box to her again. “I’m going to send the files to Boss Li.” With that, she turned to walk away.
“Hey, Feng…” Qiao Fei was about to call her, only to see that she quickly walked away as if running away for life.
He just wanted to celebrate the girl’s birthday with her and confess his love to her. Why did she look scared?
Could it be that she was disguised as a man for too long and had never been chased by a man before? Did he act too rashly?
Did he scare her?
…
Only Boss Li himself and Feng Ling were allowed to touch his computer and the password was also only known to them. It was actually an important job to go to his room to get the computer. Feng Ling quickly fetched the computer, found the files that Boss Li mentioned to her last night and stored them on the desktop. Then she went out with the computer.
She quickly went to the meeting room of the base where there were the leaders of several training bases and some military officers that she often saw on TV in recent years. Feng Ling walked in silently, put down the computer and was about to leave when Xiao Xu, who was sitting next to Li Nanheng, said suddenly, “Boss, how about Feng Ling? Last time she was dressed as a woman in the hotel and looked just like a real woman…”
Hearing this, Feng Ling looked at Xiao Xu and then at Li Nanheng who was sitting at the center of the conference table.
At the same time, everyone in the conference room was looking at Feng Ling and some people even sized her up with strange eyes.
The only person who didn’t look at her with such inquisitive eyes was Li Nanheng. He was sitting by the window in the middle of the conference table. There were the lights of the training camps of the base behind him and in front of him, there were two computers and the one that Feng Ling had just taken, which were all top-level computers with ultra-high encryption settings and cost at least 500,000 Yuan.
