Chapter 785: The Story of Ling and Heng (48)
The next morning, the rain did not continue. Today’s Los Angeles had a beautiful clear sky. From XI Base, in particular, there were barely any clouds in sight. The light blue skyscape caused one’s heart to brighten.
Han Jin had informed Feng Ling and the rest that they would be moving into the building Boss Li was currently living in. None of them were surprised by this news.
After all, although Boss rarely interfered with Team One’s matters, he needed to be involved in the training for the long-range snipers. Staying with Boss Li would make things much more convenient.
Han Jin informed them that they would each have their own rooms, located on the floor beneath Boss’s apartment. The five of them then quickly packed up their bags and rushed over.
When she arrived at the place, Feng Ling began walking from the first room.
K, Lei Peng, Tam, Lin Cheng… she looked at the name tags pasted on the doors and dragged her luggage to the last room, only to discover that her name was not found anywhere.
She headed inwards but only found a backup storeroom with some spare space. There were no bed or furnitures in there.
She was startled and assumed that Han Jin had pasted the names wrongly or arranged for her to be on a different floor. She dialed Han Jin’s number, but he said that from now on she was under Boss Li’s instructions and that she had to ask him herself.
Feng Ling could only bring her luggage upstairs.
Right before she approached Boss Li’s door, she hesitated for a moment. She had never come to this floor before.
Although Boss Li wasn’t very friendly with everyone, and he often appeared cold and distant, he wasn’t an arrogant or pretentious man. He lived in the base with all of the men. She heard that his room was only slightly bigger than everyone’s to make some space for a study and a closet. Even the things he used was the same as everyone; he had merely merged two rooms into one for himself.
Feng Ling carefully deliberated over how she would ask him as she walked. If Boss Li did not think she had the right to move in with them, there was a chance she would have to return to Team One’s accomodation. She did not mind this and was not the kind to take it to heart.
Yet, the moment she lifted her head she saw Li Nanheng standing in the hallway.
The moment she met his eyes, she noticed that the room door next to his was wide open.
He was not dressed in his combat clothes. He wore a pair of black long pants and a black T-shirt, appearing much more approachable. Li Nanheng stood there expressionlessly and watched her with a mild gaze.
Feng Ling glanced at him and then turned to look at the door that was ajar behind him. Her heart strangely began to feel apprehensive.
She approached and looked past Li Nanheng’s shoulders to see that her name was pasted on that door. In an instant, even her expression was flabbergasted.
“!!!”
She was staying right next to Boss Li?!
Nanheng had even come personally to verify her frightening thought.
“You’re here?” The man glanced at her mildly. “Follow me.”
Feng Ling: “…” All she could feel was her heavy footsteps as she dragged her luggage to follow him into the room next to his.
After entering, she found that this room was much bigger than her room in Team One. There was even a bathroom, meaning that she had her personal bathroom.
“There’s no need to keep looking. Every room on this floor is identical. They were originally set aside for the Li Family’s people or other outsiders. Afterward, the base constructed a building meant for entertaining visitors so this place has been empty ever since,” Nanheng explained indifferently. “They were only able to make space for four rooms downstairs. You’ll stay here temporarily. There’s not much difference between upstairs and downstairs. You’ll still have to wake up early each morning for your training.
Feng Ling took a deep breath in. “Boss, I actually don’t mind returning to Team One’s accommodation.”
Li Nanheng watched her expressionlessly. This room received quite some sunlight and the sunlight pierced through the windows to land on Feng Ling’s hair. It gave the youth’s clean hair a golden sheen and her silhouette a distinct outline.
Although this room was much bigger than her old room, this tall and broad-shouldered man was standing half a meter away from her. This distance was not too far nor too close, yet Feng Ling strangely found the space suffocating. Even the air seemed quieter because of the man’s gaze.
Nanheng stood before her eyes; the man’s strong aura made it impossible for one to neglect him or speak up against him.
Feng Ling shifted her eyes away. She wanted to scan the room but only managed to lower her head. She stared at their feet.
She was wearing a pair of white sports shoes. It suited their usual training and was very comfortable. He wore a pair of black running shoes and although the brand was not clear, it was obviously a costly pair.
She rarely paid attention to this, but now that they were standing here, she abruptly discovered that in comparison to his, her feet appeared like a child’s… it was actually so small.
The distance between her 1.69 meters figure and his 1.90 meters figure was immediately distinct.
The heavy feeling of oppression was extremely obvious!
Her gaze shifted upwards. The man wore a pair of black long pants while she was in her loose, black combat outfit.
The man’s legs were really long; upon comparing, she strangely felt inferior.
Her gaze continued moving upwards. The man’s black T-shirt was very well-fitted and it revealed his perfect figure.
When Feng Ling’s gaze arrived at the man’s face, she saw that the man’s expression was composed and cold.
“Do I look good?” he asked.
She abruptly returned to herself. “Ah?”
“I only came to show you your new accommodation, but after coming in, you’ve spent a long time scanning me from head to toe. I’m asking you, do I look good? Are you satisfied with what you see?” The man’s tone was mild.
Feng Ling: “…”
Previously, one of Feng Ling’s greatest desire was to be chosen for the long-range sniper training. However, right now, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had dug a hole for herself to jump into.
——
In the end, Feng Ling still moved into the room next to Boss Li’s.
She had requested to move back to her original place, but Han Jin said that after they left, he had already arranged for a few people to take up their previous spaces. Right now, Team One’s accommodation was completely filled up; her previous room was already taken by someone.
Since she couldn’t return, she could only stay here. Furthermore, the other four members were all downstairs. It didn’t make sense for her to move too far. As a member of Team One, the other teams also wouldn’t accommodate her.
Feng Ling placed her luggage down by her bed and scanned her new room. She felt that this room was unbelievably clean. Did someone tidy up for her before this?
Could it be that there was an employee in charge of cleaning this building?
Even the bed was made; the cleaner sure was considerate.
