  Li Nanheng leaned against the wall next to the door and looked thoughtfully at her not yet wearing a coat.

  Feng Ling’s heart throbbed and for a moment, she was thankful that she had made enough preparations. Otherwise, Boss Li would definitely find something strange about her figure.

  “I waited for you for half an hour downstairs. Is it so troublesome for you to leave the hospital? Do you need me to buy a set of men’s skincare products for you and let you do a facial before coming out?” The man glanced at her sullenly.

  Feng Ling happened to be facing away from him and he couldn’t see her chest. At this angle, he couldn’t see anything but that the boy was really thin.

  Hearing he seemed to be coming over, Feng Ling quickly picked up the black uniform on the bed and put it on her body. With one hand, she quickly pulled the zipper up, then raised her hand to pull the short hair back, and looked at the man who had approached. “Boss, I can go now.”


  The man had already approached her. He lowered his eyes to look at her eyes that seemed to be calm but were actually panicked. Then he glanced at her ears that were no longer red. Thinking of her ears that had been red after she fell asleep that night, he stared at her again for a while with his unfathomable eyes.

  “Boss.” Feng Ling raised her eyes and lowered her tone. “Anything else?”


  Li Nanheng glanced at her and his eyes fell on her neckline. “Your neckline is slanted.”


  “OK.” Feng Ling raised her hand and sorted her neckline. When she raised her eyes again, the man had withdrawn his gaze and turned away.

  After returning to the base, Feng Ling was warmly greeted by the base members who were on good terms with her. Even she herself didn’t expect that Mayor of City F, Mr. Ted, who she and Qiao Fei rescued last time on the cruise, and his family had come to the base early because they learned that she was injured in that rescue mission. They were very grateful and sorry to her and brought her many gifts.

  When Feng Ling was in the hospital, outsiders were not allowed to visit her according to the rules of XI Base, so they sent all the gifts to the base and had someone send them to her room. Those gifts included many expensive but very useful electronic products, as well as a medal awarded by Mayor Ted that couldn’t be awarded casually, but Mayor Ted made the exception and awarded it to Feng Ling. And after Feng Ling returned to the base, he personally called her, expressing his gratitude to her and thanking her for choosing to throw the child off the cruise ship first. Otherwise, if the child was injured, he and his family would live in pain for the rest of their lives.

  Feng Ling returned to her room, only to see a pile of things on the bed. She didn’t know what was going on until she received a call from Mayor Ted and his wife.

  Los Angeles was gradually getting cold in this season and just after she returned to the base in the afternoon, all of a sudden, wind was gusting like hell. Boss Li allowed her to rest today and resume training tomorrow but Feng Ling still insisted on going to Team One for training and continued to receive high-intensity training for snipers after K, Tam, and the other two members returned from their mission.

  Heavy rain fell for several hours. After the training, each member ran back to their rooms drenched like drowned rats.

  Feng Ling, as always, walked back alone. Just when she was going to reach the building where her room was, someone suddenly took her wrist. She turned her head and paused when she found it was Deputy Drillmaster Qiao who came under an umbrella. Before she said anything, she was suddenly dragged into the building by Qiao Fei.

  After Qiao Fei went in, he threw the umbrella aside, looked up and down at Feng Ling who was soaked all over, then rested his gaze on her face. “Are you all right? Have you recovered?”


  Seeing the worry in Qiao Fei’s eyes, Feng Ling almost forgot about the fact that her secret had been discovered by him. Her face showed no emotion and she only looked at the young and handsome man in front of her. “Thank you for your concern, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao. I just inhaled some smoke and have no problem now after a few days of treatment.”


  “No matter how minor your injury was, you can’t ignore your health. Do you really take yourself as a man? You went out for training under the rainstorm as soon as you were discharged from the hospital. The sniper team didn’t have a training schedule today. So you ran to Team One to ask Han Jin to give you jobs. He was so careless and inflexible as to let you do the training. He should have let you come back to rest!”


  Feng Ling’s voice became more polite and alienated in an instant. “Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, I am a member of the base. I’ve lagged behind other members in training for so many days and the strength of my limbs will definitely be greatly affected. Even if I miss only one day of training, my performance as a sniper will be affected. I am responsible for myself. I think Drillmaster Han understands this, so he let me resume training. And it is common to train in heavy rain. After so many years, I have been accustomed to life at the base. I don’t think an afternoon of training will harm my health.”


  “And……” She looked at him in a serious manner, although her voice was low, she was very serious. “.……I am a man.”


  Qiao Fei looked at her for a while and smiled. “Are you still worried about me telling out your secret?”


  “No, I don’t. I believe in you, but I hope you can treat me as a man like before. In the explosion of the oil tank, I just inhaled some smoke. I was not injured by the blast, nor did I have any serious internal or external injuries. I survived. It is already a blessing. I only hope that I can have a place in the base in the future, so gender is not important to me. I can achieve what others can. Please forget what happened on the island at that time. I am only a member of the sniper team and do not need to be treated differently. ”


  Qiao Fei frowned. “Okay, I won’t give you any differential treatment, but you have just been discharged from the hospital. I haven’t seen you for a week and you have lost so much weight and went to train under heavy rain. If you keep like this, you will probably faint on the training ground one day and be sent to the medical room where you will be stripped and everyone will know that you’re a woman. So you might as well pay more attention to your health.”


  “Okay, I will. Thank you for reminding me, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao.” Feng Ling looked straight at him, her eyes were frank and her attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing. She didn’t seem to panic at all although her secret had been found out.

  “Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, I remember you haven’t been in the sniper team long. How come you get so familiar with Feng Ling? Do you have anything to remind Feng Ling? ” Suddenly, a clear, deep voice rang outside the door.

  Feng Ling turned her eyes with a jerk, only to meet Li Nanheng’s dark eyes that were as deep as ancient wells.
