Qiao Fei sounded in a bad mood.

  Feng Ling suddenly remembered how Li Nanheng was like when he was in a bad mood and she didn’t feel she should go to see Qiao Fei now.

  “Well, I’m not quite available now. I think I’d better not disturb you. I wish you all the best in the future……”


  “I’m nearby, and I’ll be here soon. Wait for me,” Qiao Fei said and hung up the phone.

  Standing on the spot, Feng Ling looked at the shuttling vehicles on the street, a bit stunned.

  Although Drillmaster Qiao seemed to like her a little bit before, he never forced any demands on her. As long as she refused, he would stop in a very gentlemanly way.

  She had rejected seeing him, but why…… .did he suddenly become so insistent?

  As if he had to see her now?

  Feng Ling walked to the flower bed near the parking lot. Because of the cold weather, the flowers in the flower bed had withered. She sat on the flower bed and picked the yellow leaves one by one to kill the time.

  A car drove over and honked. She raised her eyes and saw a white Bentley parked in front of her. When she was wondering, the car window fell, revealing Qiao Fei’s face.

  “What are you waiting for? Get in the car.” The man in the car was surprised to see her clothes but he was only surprised for a moment.

  Feng Ling looked at him and found that his eyes seemed to be red. She got up and walked over to the car: “Drillmaster Qiao, you……”


  “Don’t call me that. I have left the base. There is no drill master here but Qiao Fei.” Qiao Fei placed a hand on the steering wheel casually and looked at her with a smile.

  At this time, Feng Ling smelled alcohol on him. She immediately glanced at his hand on the steering wheel. “Did you drink?”


  “Just a little bit, not much.” Qiao Fei raised his eyebrows and said, “Get in the car. Let me take you out for a ride. I heard that many things happened in the base recently. Li Nanheng can’t possibly have time to stay with you here. You must be bored staying here alone all day.”


  “Don’t drive since you just drank. Where do you live? I’ll take you back.” Feng Ling didn’t meant to sit on the copilot seat but stood still.

  Qiao Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Just get in. It’s okay! I didn’t drink much. Don’t worry.”


  “No, you drank just now.”


  “Feng Ling.” Qiao Fei called her name. “Listen to me. Get in the car.”


  “You sit on the c-pilot seat and I will send you back.” Feng Ling insisted and her eyes were firm. She did not want someone she knew to have an accident due to drunk driving.

  Seeing her insist, Qiao Fei looked at her for a while and then smiled. “OK.”


  Then he pushed the car door open and got out of the car. When he walked past her, he looked at her feminine short hair, her sportswear and white sneakers, and went to sit down on the copilot seat.

  Feng Ling sat in the driver’s seat, fastened the seat belt, and asked, “Where do you live? Turn on the navigator. I am not familiar with downtown Los Angeles. Without the navigator, even if you tell me your address, I may not be able to find it.”


  “Did Li Nanheng knew that you were a woman?” Qiao Fei did not answer but asked.

  Feng Ling moved her hand from the buckle of the seat belt and turned to look at him. “Why did he know early on?”


  “I’m not sure, but since you are living here dressed like this, obviously he has known your secret.” Qiao Fei didn’t ask too much about this process but just said, “After all, when you were in the base, you were too young, so it’s reasonable that others can’t tell if you’re a man or a woman, but as you grew up, many things can’t be hidden, so it’s not surprising that he found out about your secret. Actually, according to Li Nanheng’s previous attitude, I doubt he had known it long ago. He just didn’t expose your lie.”


  Feng Ling thought about it, and did not ask much, nor did she mention anything about Li Nanheng.

  Anyway, he already knows that she was a woman. It didn’t matter whether he had known it early or now.

  Li Nanheng had never stopped “molesting” her! No matter whether she was a man or a woman, he didn’t seem to care.

  “Where do you live?” Feng Ling changed the topic and looked at the screen of the navigator.

  Qiao Fei raised his hand and tapped his finger on the screen to casually set a target location. “Just here.”


  Feng Ling glanced and found that it was a hotel, but she didn’t think much about it and drove away.

  On the way, she smelled alcohol on Qiao Fei’s body, but the smell was not strong or unpleasant. He just sat quietly in the copilot seat and gazed at Feng Ling.

  Feng Ling was very serious about doing anything, including driving a car. At first, she didn’t pay much attention to the gaze of the man beside her, but after being gazed for a long time, she was a bit uncomfortable. “Drillmaster Qiao.”


  “Qiao Fei.”


  “.……”


  “You can just call me Brother Qiao like K and the other members,” He said.

  “Well, Brother Qiao.” Feng Ling looked at the front and said while driving, “I heard that people who leave from the base, if they don’t go to the military or the police, should meet less in the future, so as to avoid arousing suspicion, and to avoid disputes. After all, you know that many secrets about the base cannot be leaked. You have left XI Base. Although both of us are tight-lipped, we still have to abide by the rule, so, in the future, we’d better not see each other again.”


  Watching her speak seriously, Qiao Fei smiled. “You’re really outspoken. Aren’t you afraid that you will hurt my feelings? I just want to see you and have no other ideas.”


  “That’s not allowed, either!.”


  “Then what should I do? Tell me!”


  Feng Ling didn’t quite get what he meant and continued to drive silently.

  “If I want to do something to you, even Li Nanheng might not be able to stop me,” Qiao Fei suddenly said meaningfully.
