Chapter 771: The Story of Ling and Heng (34)
The man on the ground froze and then suddenly heard the cold voice behind him. “It’s me.”
With that, Nanheng withdrew his foot on the person’s back and turned away with a straight face.
The man on the ground was still lying stiff on the ground as if being petrified. The other members with him also fell into silence.
They had thought that Feng Ling bribed the drillmasters in the base while Boss Li was away. Therefore, he was specially treated like this. After all, in the past two and a half years, Boss Li wasn’t at the base at all, and the sniper qualification test was initiated during the time when Boss was absent. No one would have thought that it was Boss who recommended Feng Ling before leaving.
Hearing Boss Li’s words, the man lying on the ground knew that he was finished. He was going to have a really hard time in the base…
Seeing Boss had gone, Han Jin followed him away, then looked back at the man on the ground, and sighed. “Why don’t you guys think about it? Although Feng Ling seems to be incompetent in your eyes, he has done better than you no matter in marksmanship, melee combat, performance in missions, or daily training. We all have eyes, so we all know why he is chosen. Why do you try to deny someone who is actually excellent just because of your bias? Being caught on the spot by Boss today, you can blame no one.”
With that, he no longer looked at the gray-faced man on the ground, turned around, and quickly followed Nanheng away.
The members of the camp were silent.
Indeed.
No matter in speed or other aspects, they were no match for Feng Ling even after another five or six years of practice, but it was not that they were too lame but that Feng Ling was too excellent.
Boss just heard them ridiculing Feng Ling with a few words and no one expected him to be so angry…
No one in the base dared to mess with Feng Ling now.
Nanheng walked forward expressionlessly and his face was as cold as snow on a mountain peak. Han Jin quickly followed up. He and several other drillmasters had heard about the gossip from some other members of the base before. This kind of gossip was inevitable. After all, Feng Ling did look younger than everyone else.
But he seemed to get all the benefits.
But the fact was that whoever was more excellent was more eligible.
It was useless to complain.
——
The canteen of the base.
When Feng Ling saw that K also came to the canteen, she asked him to take a seat. She happened to be standing in line, so she brought K a portion of food by the way.
She went back to the table with two plates and put one of them in front of K. “Here you are. Just eat it.”
“Thanks.” K grinned cheekily at her. “The sniper qualification test will be held the day after tomorrow. Are you ready for it? Do you have the confidence to win?”
Feng Ling smiled as she picked up the tableware. “Just take it easy. We’ll have to take the test no matter we have the confidence to win or not, won’t we?”
“Tut, it’s boring to talk to people like you. Can’t you be a bit humorous? Take it easy? The thirty candidates on this list are all shivering in nervousness and go to the training ground to practice training whenever they’ve got time. Even I went to practice a few times before going to bed. But you seem to be very leisure. You never sweat up at the last moment, but every time you get outstanding results. Do you know how many people in this base are secretly jealous of you?”
Feng Ling didn’t seem to take his words seriously. “Are you jealous?”
“Well, I’m not. Although I’m not as good as you, I’m still an excellent member of Team One, OK? I didn’t train all these years for nothing! Don’t forget although you’re the first on that list, I follow closely behind. I can’t be worse than you,” K said and put a piece of meat in his mouth. He chewed and said vaguely. “But this time Boss is back. He will watch this test with his own eyes, so I can’t help but feel a little nervous.”
“Isn’t there a wine party for Boss at the base tomorrow night? You might as well drink more tomorrow night and get drunk until the day after tomorrow so that you won’t be so nervous. ”
“Do you think Boss will allow me not to do morning training the next day?”
“You can press Boss on the ground and beat him while you’re drunk? Anyway, a drunkard is irrational. Even if he is angry, he won’t punish you too harshly, because the wine party tomorrow will be held to celebrate his return, so he is to blame. Boss will have no reason to punish you.” Feng Ling blinked as she said, apparently inciting K to beat Li Nanheng while he was drunk.
K snorted. “Stop dreaming. I’m afraid the one who really wants to do something with the pretext of being drunk is Boss himself. He can’t wait to sleep with you with the excuse of being drunk.”
At this time, Feng Ling saw another member of Team One passing by, turned around and said hello to him, so she didn’t hear K’s words. Then she turned to look at him and asked K, “What did you say?”
K coughed. “No, I didn’t say anything and you didn’t hear anything.”
Seeing Feng Ling seemed to have no feeling on Boss Li, K kept murmuring as he put the meat into his mouth, “Feng Ling, do you like men or women?”
Feng Ling’s clean, soft short hair was blown by the wind outside the window and she looked so refreshing and energetic.
She glanced at K. “It depends on what kind of ‘like’ you mean. I like you very much if you mean brotherhood.”
K’s face turned red instantly, and after a few coughs, he said with some difficulty, “I mean that kind of like, love! After all, you look so fair and tender skinned that men can’t help having the desire to protect you. No one will be surprised if you say you like men. Anyway, this is very common. There are two pairs in our base. Although they don’t admit they are gay, everyone knows it.”
Feng Ling smiled. “I’m not fair and tender skinned but just not as dark as you guys. I was born like this and I can’t change it. If you ask me about my sexual orientation, I certainly like pretty girls. There are so many curvy, sexy girls waiting for me, why should I be interested in a rough man?”
K:”…”
Alas, so this guy was not gay.
It seemed that Boss had no chance. It could only be a bitter one-sided love…
Feng Ling didn’t look at K who looked at her with gossipy eyes and seemed to feel sorry for Boss. She glanced down at a deep-fried crispy chicken leg in her bowl and put it in the K bowl. “My stomach is upset recently. I don’t want to eat greasy food. Here you are.”
