Feng Ling walked out of the sniper training camp where people were too enthusiastic to see her with the excuse that Ah Feng was looking for her.

  Otherwise, those four people could chat with her for three days and three nights.

  Ah Feng did have something to ask her.

  Feng Ling walked to the base hall, and Ah Feng asked her, “I don’t know if Boss Li can come back today. Can you live in the base today? Recently, many things happened to the Li family, and we better not disturb Boss, so I didn’t call him to ask him when he was back. Now that Grandfather Li is seriously ill, we can’t urge him to come back.”


  Feng Ling said, “OK, I can live here temporarily.”


  “Are you really going to leave? Since you’ve been back to the base, we can hire you to be a drillmaster.”


  “No, I’ll wait for Li Nanheng to come back to sign the permission.”


  Seeing Feng Ling determination, Ah Feng could only say, “OK, I’ll ask someone to take you to your room.”


  Feng Ling thought they had arranged a new room for her, so she just nodded without a word.

  Ah Feng sent someone to take her to her room, but when she was walking from the base hall to her residence, she felt the route was very familiar.

  The building where she used to live appeared in front of her and the person took her upstairs to the floor where she used to live, then to the room where she used to live, and stepped forward to help her open the door. Looking at the tidy room and the clean bed, she stood there for a long time without moving.

  “Miss Feng, Ah Feng said you could live here temporarily.”


  Feng Ling stood outside the door and looked at the door next door.

  The memory about the days when she lived next door to Li Nanheng popped up in her mind.

  After Feng Ling walked into the room, the person who brought her here left.

  After he left, Feng Ling stood in this familiar room and called Ah Feng. “Can you help me arrange another room? I don’t want to live here.”


  “Why? Weren’t you living there before? I thought it would be more convenient for you to live there now.”


  “No need. Doesn’t XI Base have special guest rooms? Just find me an ordinary guest room.”


  Feng Ling was talking on the phone while walking to the floor-to-ceiling window. She opened the window and looked out. Everything was so familiar.

  Guest room?

  Feng Ling had made her meaning clear.

  Although she was now in the base, she had no plans to come back.

  “That’s fine. Come to me later. I’ll get you the key to the guest room. There are several guest rooms upstairs in the base hall. You can live in one of them.”


  “Thanks.” Feng Ling hung up directly.

  Before leaving, she saw the balcony outside the window and walked out, turning her eyes to the balcony and the room next door.

  She just stood there silently for a few moments, retracted her gaze, walked back to the room, and then walked out the door. She did not say anything about the furnishings in this room that had not changed from two or three years ago but walked straight out.

  On the first night in the guest room, Feng Ling suffered from insomnia.

  When she woke up the next day, she went to the base canteen to eat. Some members who she was familiar with came over to talk to her, but she had been sitting and eating listlessly while occasionally responding perfunctorily, and then the rumor that “Feng Ling was now a drillmaster and had become colder and more arrogant” spread throughout the base within a few hours.

  People who liked her didn’t take this rumor seriously, and those who didn’t like her criticized her even more harshly behind her.

  Feng Ling didn’t bother to pay any attention and went back to sleep after the meal without contacting anyone. Even when the four members of the sniper team came to visit her during the training gaps, she continued to sleep and didn’t open the door.

  Two days later, Li Nanheng still didn’t come back.

  Ah Feng said that he had called the Li family. Grandfather Li’s condition was not very good and Li Nanheng, as the only grandson of the Li family, was tied up.

  This made Feng Ling suddenly feel as if she would have to wait for Li Nanheng here for a long time.

  Her job at Mr. Ted’s home was over. Although she had promised Dr. Qin to go to Hai City, she had to get Li Nanheng’s permission first. Staying in the guest room every day, she was so bored. On the third day after she returned to XI Base, Feng Ling couldn’t help following the familiar gunshots of the sniper team. At first, she just sat with the drillmasters of the sniper team having tea and chatting, and gradually, she began to train together with the four members of the sniper team, regaining the feeling of being a member of XI Base.

  On the evening of the third day, Feng Ling had trained together with the four members of the sniper team for a day. She was tired and was about to go back to rest when Ah Feng suddenly called her. “Feng Ling, Boss Li is back.”


  Hearing this news, without even going back to take a shower and change, Feng Ling went straight to the base hall.

  However, when she arrived in the hall, she did not see Li Nanheng.

  “Mr. Li’s condition is temporarily stabilized. The military has something to discuss with us, so Boss Li came back today, but he did not come to the hall. He should have returned to his residence or is inspecting the camps. I haven’t called him. Feng Ling, are you in a hurry?”


  Feng Ling: “.……”


  Yes, she was! She had been waiting here for three days.

  However, now she hesitated. Since they separated in the Boston jungle, they had only met for less than three times. During the last nine months, even if they met, they just passed by each other indifferently like strangers. His cold attitude made her unable to figure out what he was thinking.

  Mr. Mo wanted to choose a competent person from XI Base to be Mrs. Mo’s bodyguard, which was known to Ah Feng, so Li Nanheng must know it too.

  If she didn’t know how to speak to him, shouldn’t she write the document first, and then bring it to him for him to sign?

  Feng Ling returned to her room, turned on the laptop and wrote a document, and then she printed out two copies and went to Li Nanheng’s room with the documents.

  When she walked downstairs, she glanced up and saw the light on Li Nanheng’s room was on.

  She walked over quickly and was about to go upstairs when suddenly, the light in the room went out.

  Feng Ling’s footsteps stopped and she glanced at the time.

  It was only 9:30 p.m.

  Was he…… already in bed?
